i wrote a story but don't know if i should share it

Postby viking » Tue Oct 27, 2015 2:03 am

so i wrote a fictional story for halloween that i really want to share for everyone on the forum.
however, it's not like my typical cute innocent story about trolls and teddybears that you are used to seeing me share in the fictional section.

now, i don't want to spoil the plot, but the thing is i am not sure if i should share it.

there's no sex in the story, so it's not like i could share it in the PG17 section... i think.
but it describes some rather brutal things, and it has a lot of cursing to it.
i have seen several others that disobey the rules when it comes to the cursing and violence in their stories, so i don't think that is much of a problem, but when it comes to the brutality i think i might have surpassed what others have shared before me.
again, the brutality is not in the form of anything sexual, so i don't think it fits in the PG17 section.
let's just say that it results in some rather bloody death scenes (hopefully not spoiling anything).

so, what can i do?
could i for an instance upload it in the fictional section, but put a heavy warning at the top so that people who are reading it knows what they are about to read?
or could i for an instance PM the most brutal parts to one of the admins and have them tell me what they think?

Thank you for showing such consideration but I think you must proceed as you see fit.
In your place, I think I would do as you say: put a warning on it and post away. I am sure that, if people consider the content to be inappropriate, they will quickly refer it to the Mods.

Post it, and let the mods sort it out. If it's in the wrong section, due to language, explicit content, or being overly violent, they will move it to the appropriate forum.

Drawscore.

I am interested in the story so if you dont end up posting it I would be grateful for you to message it to me.
If you are worried send a private message to the admins with the story and ask their opinions if they think it is to bad/brutal you could try and post it on another site like Deviant Art or something and post a link to it on here.
