I held the sharp blade a hair breath's length away from my wrist. I wanted to press the blade deep into my wrist and watch the flow forth. But i couldnt... NO! I had to!

I placed the knife upon my left wrist, willing myself to go ahead to, to cut myself. I added pressure, my thumb on the top of the handle. I watched as my skin protested this intution. Then i gasped.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

that is the prologe to a book im thinking about writing. whether that be the begining middle or the end....
I dont know.....
I dont even know if i want to continue. i have ideas but....
I dont know..
Tell me what you think.

And that's when I knew that I was cutting the wrong way. Hell, I got lucky with that close call. Adjusting my direction I continued to slice. I didn't actually want to die after all, I just wanted attention because my life sucks--even though I have the perfect life. It's that A- that spoils it all.

Unless of course the story deals with someone who's actually suicidal.

"Additionally, I realized I was trivializing the trials of actual people with this problem, and if i didn't want to be considered an insensitive and unimaginative writer, I should stop."

Trials? This story either applies to suicidal people or attention seeking emos. Percentage lies in favor of the latter, who have no trials whatsoever.

However your point is still duly noted.

Then maybe you should have written more than two short little paragraphs to show that. Come on, at least a page or two. What's with people writing such short parts to their stories, anyway?

Well, if you have a plot, I hope it's more developed than the emo-ness shown thus far.

hmmm maybe you're all right and it's just a load a dirt and i should just drop it.

That's the way!

Or you could upload it to fanfiction.net. I'm sure you'd get a few dozen fangirls going "omg tat was sew sad :(:(:(:(:( MOAR DO MOAR"

They really don't have much of a choice on what to tolerate. Because taste is subjective--even if this stuff does suck--and where do they draw the line on removing things?

Mainly they draw the line on graphic sexual content, like lemons and such. That, and spam.

What I meant by spam was things like when people would post something about how they're so pissed off about how their favorite game was released one one system and not another. Things like that.

And yes, I've actually seen idiots post things like that on that site.

And I do know that you can still find lemons on ff.net. You can get away with it sometimes. Just not with things that're extremely detailed about the sex, there are plenty of people on that site who will report it.
