To be perfectly frank, post it.

Post it and be as ashamed of it as you please.
But learn from it as well. Learn WHY you are ashamed of it, and why you wrote it.
And also try to remember what you have written that you are proud of, and why.
If you can't think of anything that you are proud of, then you really are kinda screwed up in the head. Either that or you're just not paying attention.


You put far too much importance in the concept of justifying one's emotions and values. The sad part about being a good person is that you don't NEED proof that you are a good person. You either are or you aren't.
There's nothing wrong in not knowing, so long as you know what you want to be, and try your damnedest to be it.

Or put another way: "don't try to be a strong man, just try to be a man. You'd be surprised how strong that alone can make a person."

To be honest, your slime girl piece was flat out tame and cheerful compared to
most of what gets posted here. Unless she hurt that poor boy in some ways you didn't write. Is that "daughter" going to suffocate him some night and devour his flesh?

Yes, she was scary.Yes, she used him for nutrition and then dumped him naked in the middle of the city. But that is all she did. She did no physical harm to him, she didn't take his blood or anything.
She did no emotional harm, other than scaring the willies out of him, but that may have be his own reaction as well as hers.

Maybe, just maybe, If he went back there some day and tried to just talk to her, they both could learn something.

May I ask why you feel ashamed of that particular piece?

Three somewhat rigid but still sympathetic characters are captured on a battlefield and used as fodder for bizarre medical experiments by the enemy. They are then forced to rape each other to death.

See? ಠ_ಠ

I meant the slime girl story.
But hey, that answers some questions too...

Yeah, I can see why you'd be ashamed of that story as well.
But I still stand by what I said earlier.

Oh. The slime-girl story? Because rape.

I like to think of myself as basically a gentle person. I'm not particularly easygoing or friendly, but I could hardly even bring myself to strike someone in a situation where (a) it would be reasonable to do so lightly, and (b) she was asking me to do it, because, you know, I can't slap someone who isn't actively trying to hurt me.

So that this stuff comes out of my head disturbs me no end.

Now THAT'S a good argument. :)
I can understand where you're coming from a bit better now.

Just don't make the mistake of confusing reserve for timidness.
You appear to have a degree of both, if you pardon my saying so.
Not wanting to hurt others does not make you weak, but thinking that you need the capacity to do so can.

Anyways, read your work for yourself and think about exactly what you're expressing, and why you wrote it, that's what really matters with this kind of writing.

Does it count as hurting someone if they order you to? Just curious.

I mean, I bite, but I can't slap or spank. Somehow it seems purely aggressive without the intimacy of biting. And it's not like I draw blood... though I was once bitten that hard. >_>

Erm. Up to you, I guess.

But, if it's something you think it might be something folks are gonna be objecting too/squicked out, put a big warning at the beginning of the piece.

I guess all I have to contribute to the discussion is, how much do we become what we create?

Real people commit atrocities upon each other every hour of every day without guilt or shame. Most sexually abused children are victimized by relatives; women can be in abusive relationships for decades. Genocide and torture are commonplace. This is what humans are. Fortunately it isn't all we are.

Take comfort that you're disturbed by your own, fictional atrocities. If you weren't, then you'd have cause for concern.
