Should I attempt to bring this story Back

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2002-10-27 02:19pm

Well some people who remember me writting this story over in ASVS last year have Emailed or AIMed me asking about it's status.
(Warning the story invilves a character that thourghly enjoys causing pain to others.)
Well Here's the original curtesy of some Google Necromancy
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Jason ... com&rnum=1
Should I try to write some more and what sort of warning ratings should be posted on this?

Is the link not working?

I really would like some input.

Errr...I dunno. That's pretty violent, and it's disturbing violence at that. RayCav just got his fic removed for it's disturbing images, so I'd recommend posting a big fat warning before it.

Why do you think I stopped writing it last year, I was stressed out at work, and I started rewritting a story I had began when I was a sick college student. The process of getting that bit out, left me completly drained. (actually, in the medical clinic on Anti-biotics & rehydration therepy. The scarier part for me, is reliving shit that inspired the original fiction, and watching my own darkside being amplified too such an extent.

In that case, I don't think bringing it back would be a good idea. We want you here and safe and sane. No fic is that important.

If I remember correctly it was Sheppard and Falk, who wanted more, Boyd, Chuck, and Marina asked me to shelve it for my own safety and because I was scaring them.

Best not to. Like Nietzsche said, 'When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

We like The Yosemite Bear as his fuzzy lovable self, not as a sadistic evil bastard.

If you really need to vent in such a way, then I suggest an online journal (either at LiveJournal or DeadJournal if you don't already have one). Online journals are a good thing to have, and another good way to meet people. I personally am always venting basically my life story in there...as do others on this board (I'm not saying who).

I am really getting tempted to start a website called "The Search for Terrestrial Intellegence", It's the last day we are open to the Tourists, I bought a big bowl of candy and left it, out for everyone. And a couple complained be cause the Sattilite muzak station (Classic Rock), playied Ozzy, and that I was encouraging Satanism with that and the candy bowl....

This is as good as the person who has no winter driving experience who is trying to ARGUE with the CHP over chain controlls, and then trying to tell the folks at the gas station that tthey are overpriced.

Your material is a lot like the insight given into the mind of the killer in Jonathon Kellerman's book "The Butcher's Theater". If some of the other people on this board are offended by this story, then I would recommend giving Kellerman's works a miss...

As another comment, this story of yours is weirdly appealing...I don't know what it is, and can't exactly say for sure...but if you feel that you must finish it, then do so, and I for one would encourage it...however, you may not want to post it here...that would probably not be the best idea.

You kinda do have a pont it probly needs it's own site, with a LOT of disclaimers and warnings, and age blocks.

Yosemite, there is definately a therapeutic side to writing, but when it starts to affect you instead of being a release then you really should stop because now you're channeling a dark part of yourself and it may not want to politely go away after you're done writing.

I am NOT a censor but I would prefer we keep the dark disturbing stuff off the forum for many reasons, but I would not be opposed to warning labels so that no one goes wandering into something they were not ready for. Frankly I'd be more concerned for your own well being writing these things.

Just my two cents.

After reading several posts here, I have decided not to read it (probably a good thing), but I will serve up a bit of advice.

Stress sucks. I got an online journal to relieve a bunch of stress I'd been having. My journal is quite... well, I don't think you guys would even think it was me. But, at that point, it was. It is my outlink.

Or was.

I have to say, since I started posting here and getting so much attention

I have been much less stressful. Then again, there has been a few things outside of here that have happened which were contributing to quite abit of the stress and now are gone. But that's another story covered in all the gory detail in my journal.

As for writing. I love writing. It also is an output of my stress. But when it gets to the point where it isn't fun anymore, I put it aside. I think, from what I've read here of other reactions, you should not revive that story. Perhaps writing something else would be better. I am willing to bet that you are probably a VERY good writer.

Anyway, that's just my two creds on the situation.

Stavo has a good point here. Try to keep your focus on getting rid of the stress. If you feel MORE stressed because of the writing, ditch it.
