I am not a menace to society!
Apr. 30th, 2008 11:26 amOkay, this is really silly, but I've written one utterly gruesome story that, until yesterday, only the supremely unsquickable
meowse had read. (I told
passionandsoul and perhaps a couple others the premise, though.) I only gave myself permission to put it down on paper because I'd seen
passionandsoul write something just as scary. But I still didn't feel entirely settled about it. Proud of it personally, but not sure what anyone else would think.
I have been cringing internally, waiting for my other readers to hit that story and say something like, "That was... different. Not my kink, and I'm afraid it weakens the rest with its overdramatic gruesomeness. Aside from these two lines of dialogue that might be good somewhere else, it should really go. Also, EW AND YOU SHOULD BE LOCKED UP AND I WILL HAVE NIGHTMARES AND EW!"
Yesterday, I got a comment on it. And it did not say that. And I am happy.
