Here's some fiction for you guys to tear apart.
« on: May 23, 2010, 03:56:45 pm »

Some random fiction I wrote some time ago. Just thought you guys would like it, what with all the killing and all. Discuss. Critique.

It's supposed to be similar to a fairytale, and it does have a moral.

I just think that most people do not try to read long stories too often. Give them a time.

It was an interesting read, it looks like a fairy tales which teach children not to be too cruel and minimalistic, but not to forget about their duties at the same time :).

What I got from it:

Extremes are bad. Travel the middle path.

But that could just as easily be what I brought to the table as a reader.

The established norms were established because they work. They might not be fine-tuned and they might not give full freedom.

but by-golly they are there to make the most important things happen.
