See, this is where things go wrong...
This wasn't what was going on. And your response led to this sort of this:
And this is a conflict waiting to happen that need not happen.
And it doesn't need to.
The point Lovecraft was making was that other limitation are placed on Nonhuman. He only wished, so far as I can tell, to start a discussion on the matter, wanting others thoughts and using this story as a possible example.
If you'll notice, some of us posted early and were left out of the discussion later. That's because, through wording issues, tangents and word misinterpretations, the topic has gone awry, and the individuals who were left out later on were sticking to topic (or some variation thereof), or were sticking to an earlier mutation thereof.
No one needs to leave and post elsewhere unless they want to, and no one should be suggesting they do so based on this topic.
Q_C
Thank you for defending this thread's original intention it is appreciated. On what SR speaks of-besides hearing himself speak- I normally spout off about the non consent section. I have my reasons most personal and do tend to get carried away sometimes. This thread however was simple common sense; this story stays up sooner or later it leads to trouble from an outside source and we all suffer.
There are a lot of gray areas here. One as for non human if you are writing of Vampires and Werewolves and the such then death and violence will be par for the course. However death during sex is considered "snuff"
When a Vampire drains his victims blood and "turns" them they technically kill them. You have to be dead to be undead. All fine and dandy. However if a Vampire is performing a sexual act while doing so then the second the person dies you now have "snuff" The person died in a sexual act.
To me I don't give a rats ass. But death during sex has been kicked off of other categories as it should be but let me get this straight if I kill you with fangs it's different then slicing your throat?
To me the people reading it are not reading for that and may not even realize what it truly is so fine. Just like the bestiality it is what the reader is interpreting/ Same goes for under age. read Youbad boys stories. The characters are described as 19 or so but six paragraphs down you swear they are 14 and some readers are thrilled with that. Is he clever or sick? Take your pick.
Only point here is be consistent. Don't sweep this shit from other categories and let others have it. Bottom line is nonhuman is becoming quite the draw. If there was an issue in a poorly viewed category it would be dealt with quicker. This particular story sat there for 6 months.
Also understand on another note that SR is convinced I am a pedophile of some sort and needles me about wanting to write child pornography. Nothing will ever change his opinion on anything so don;t waste your breath. Thank you for the help however.
