We appreciate that very much. We appreciate your flexibility and willingness to accommodate Ink Well parameters which do not welcome violence. Your story is still littered with dead bodies. It's not what we look for in the Ink Well. There might be other, unforgivable offenses that one person commits against another, besides accidental violence/death. There might be another way of seeking retribution (justice) without bring about another death.
We recognize that these circumstances and resolutions (death,murder, violence) are pervasive in media. Try to remember that we are a team of 3 curators. We have a certain sensibility with which we are equipped when we read stories. We have the expectation from our authors that our sensibility (not enjoying violence) will be respected.
So, please, try to avoid murder (accidental of otherwise) deliberate or accidental acts of violence that result in death/maiming/pain/suffering. You have a great imagination. We know you can come up with stories that do not feature such violent scenarios.
Thank you.
Thank you! We have no intention of limiting creativity. We just have strict standards around violence and brutality, as they are very offensive to some people, and we cannot screen children from reading what is published here. We want The Ink Well to be a safe and welcoming community for all.
