Talk:The Stages of Life

I don't like this story. D-: --I forgot 20:25, 17 Novelniver 2008 (UTC)

Aaaargh, I'm sorry. I was really worried when I was writing this that I was crossing some sort of line, and making it too dark, too twisted, too unsettling, and too bleak. But I decided to just press on anyways, because my usual writing style is just to write whatever pops into my head. This idea popped into my head last night and I was battling with whether or not to go through with it ever since. I tried to mix some of the more dark things with more random things, but...uhg. Perhaps I should have filed this one away under "awful ideas you should never actually go through with." You'll be comforted to know that I'm not really that dark a person, I just write dark stuff because I find it interesting and it tends to be easier to come up with than more optimistic stuff is. But again, I'm sorry if this ruined your day, it wasn't my intention! --THE 21:18, 17 Novelniver 2008 (UTC)

Hey, some of it made me laugh. I didn't like the way it was directed at the reader though, maybe make it more about a hypothetical person. I have this problem too, I often have to contain myself or I'll cross the line of acceptability. I can be really dark. Evil you might say... Jезка 21:29, 17 Novelniver 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's a good suggestion, maybe I'll change it so it's about "Bob" or something. Hopefully that will remove a bit of the sting. I tried to balance out the dark stuff with humor, and stuff about the miracle of love. But I agree that directly targeting the reader was a bit too nasty. --THE 21:35, 17 Novelniver 2008 (UTC)

I was just sarcastically implying that I'm afraid of life itself. Such a fear would be irrational (?). --I forgot 19:38, 30 Novelniver 2008 (UTC)
