  1. Anyone who fails to understand the distinction presents a danger to themself and others.

    Actually, I have a rooted objection to harming people in any way, shape or form, so I don't consider myself to be that dangerous.

    Isn't that a huge and unfounded generalization?

    No, actually. 'Snuff', of course, comes from the phenomenon of the 'snuff film', where the whole point is that someone gets killed on film.

    So death is the point.

    Any fiction where it's not merely about seeing someone die, doesn't really count as snuff, in my opinion. Slasher horror, maybe, but not snuff.

    Now this gets into some interesting territory. First; discard the concept of thoughtcrime completely. It is nothing but harmful and dangerous.

    I realise this, but it was the best term I could come up with. However, realise this: as a schizoid, I live mostly inside my own head. What happens there is often far more important to me than what actually happens outside my head. And by extension, that also means that what happens inside anybody else's head is just as if not more important to me than what they actually do.

    For example, someone giving money to a beggar because he wants to help that person is 'more good' than someone else giving exactly the same amount to a beggar because he thinks that'll get him into Heaven.

    I'll admit the excuse "I'm only thinking about, but I'm not doing it" does go a long way. But it doesn't excuse you completely because you still think about it.

    Second: Delight? Just because I think it's hot doesn't mean I revel in it. In point of fact it's simultaneously thrilling and saddening. Some stories I've written I was almost crying when I finished them.

    I know my sexuality is warped, but how can you not enjoy something you think is hot?

    To my there's something loving and almost sacred about the lust for physical and mental destruction. If that makes no sense to you, don't even try; You're just not equipped to understand

    You're right, I'm not. And rather happy for it too.

    But... err...

    "Nothing can beat the music of hundreds of voices screaming in unison!"

    "I will destroy everything! I will create a monument to non-existence!"

    "Life...Dreams...Hope...Where'd they come from? And where are they headed...? These things...I'm going to destroy!!"

    It sounds to me like you're on the same mental level as Kefka. But I'm quite sure there's a world of difference between the two of you, because you're only doing it to people who don't exist, whereas Kefka did it to people who did live in his world.

    EDIT: Also, doesn't the fact that I'm a member of the thought police automatically mean that I'm also part of the Ministry of Love? So no need to mention that twice, is there?

  2. Do, or write about? Are you perhaps getting a little confused?

    No, I'm unfortunately philosophical. And technically insane. So my warped viewpoint is this:

    Fictional people exist.

    Yes, I know, they don't exist exist, but they do have an existence. Unless you're a really bad writer you know these people. You know their personalities, their friends, their hopes, their jobs, their dreams. They're probably more real to you than some of the people on this forum.

    I don't mind character death if it serves the plot, or if there is some point to it. Hell, I've killed characters when I had to. But with snuff, death is the plot, and it's the only point.

    So to horribly slaughter someone in the most gruesome way imagineable just for the sake of horribly slaughtering someone in the most gruesome way imagineable... yeah, I got an issue with that. To so gleefully delight in someone's death is a bit... wrong to me. I'd almost consider it thoughtcrime. One you're allowed to commit, but one with which you're showing a spectacular disregard for life all the same.

  3. This is totally weird to me. I only kill the ones I love. Why would you bother writing about somoene you don't like? God some people are weird laugh.gif

    Yes. Because slow, senseless slaughter is something you only do to your friends.

    Right.

  4. Enemies that become friends and eventually become lovers.

    I used to think that was so... well... I don't really have a polite way of saying it, so let's settle for...

    ...fanpersonish...

    Harry/Draco? Cloud/Sephiroth? None of this ever made any kind of sense to me.

    And now, I got one such couple in my sig.

    Of course, it helps that the canon already clearly shows them going from enemies to really close friends, but still.

    So maybe I should rethink my opinion on this one.

  5. 'This' being... writing?

    If so: read. A lot. Seriously. Read a lot of books. It'll help.

    Also, learn how to spell and how to use capitalisation and punctuation. It'll make everything seem cleaner and more readable.

    Other than that, I'm not really an expert on helping people, so maybe others should take over here.

  6. I'm taking a wild guess here - you had chocolate spread on bread?

    Like I said, a wild guess, but let me know if I'm anywhere close.

    The bread and chocolate things are correct.

    'Spread'... I'm not sure. I've been told the Netherlands is perhaps the only country in the world where people sprinkle chocolate all over their bread for breakfast so maybe there's no real accurate translation for hagelslag.

  7. For all of that, I'd just like to say - yay us! (meaning all of us here at the forums). We've survived one of the toughest times we're ever likely to go through, and we're very likely to survive for many more years to come.

    Nah.

    I think one of the toughest times would be the outbreak of a massive flame war, or an invasion of trolls.

    The extended disappearance of the site this forum's about is nothing compared to such a potential catastrophe.

    Possibly.

  8. You know, I vaguely remember reading the first books and in those, Anita seemed very concerned about staying somewhat chaste.

    And now here, I read about all the group sex she's continuously having.

    Did something change somewhere down the road?

  9. Surely there's a huge difference between "slightly less famous book" and "somewhat obscure"??

    blink.gif

    Well, if you feel the need to explain that "Big Brother is watching (you)" is a phrase from a book by George Orwell called 1984 I don't think you'd consider that book to be any kind of famous. Maybe not full-fledged obscurity, but definitely not well-known.

    I think.

  10. When it comes to yuri stories, the brunt of which I've read were like watching lesbian porn, which is geared to straight men, not to actual lesbians. Therefore, it's little more then "Hey! Let me go down on you!" "Okay!" There has been some that actually felt convincing and in character to me, but they are few and far between. Truly, I've given up on the entire subject matter unless I come across some done by an author I trust.

    You know, I honestly don't know in which of the two camps I fall here.

    On the one hand, let's be honest here, I mostly write simple PWPs where the whole point is that the women involved have sex with each other.

    On the other hand, I've scrapped lots of stories simply because I couldn't get the characters to behave in-character enough for my tastes.

    I mean, I'd like to think that the kind of lesbians I write aren't bleached blondes with very long fingernails, but...

    Ah well. Never mind.

  11. Be afraid. Be very afraid. For Iris!tFj8DP0Frs has come from the bowels of 4chan /d/ to wreak yuri and futanari upon you.

    Too late. I'm already the resident yuri and futanari writer. Although I admit I don't come from 4chan.

    And yeah, it's unfortunate 0bsidian went down, but you do know 2 new forums have started up to handle the fallout, right?
