I'm trusting there won't be any for comments like this, yes? I realize that the sudden change in the type of story was a hassle. However, you guys should realize that Silverstourm gave FireStar97 this story because she thought Fire would do some good for it. I think you guys should've made a gradual change to horror throughout the chapters, you shouldn't have needed to change your previous chapters, but that's just my opinion.

Also, dropping out of collabs is a terrible thing to do. It leaves people struggling to find another contender to fill in your part that you thoughtlessly left behind. That new person will have to learn the plot and the personalities of your characters, etc. Remember, when joining a collab you make a commitment to follow through. If you begin writing then you shouldn't stop unless you have a true excuse.

If you guys don't 'like' to write horror, well just plainly that's a very stupid reason just to deny writing anything at all. Writers should excel by writing different mediums. Like Fire said, it doesn't have to be that scary. Like a little fright or two is okay. Just doing a battle with blood and such is basically horror.

Honestly, this is a very immature thing to do. I'm very disappointed you guys actually fought about this. We're supposed to negotiate through collabs, not fight about whether or not you're too scared to write in a different medium. Like if you were having problems you should've settled them more peacefully.

Anothewr thing I understand is that everyone in this collab should've had a say in whether or not they wanted to change to horror. There should've been some majority vote or something depending if to change it or not. Keep in mind not every chapter needs to be horror, that's not how horror stories work. There needs to be some plot, it can't just be creepy scary crap every chapter. That's why it frustrated me so much that you guys had to argue that you don't want it to even be semi-horror, when not every chapter has to be scary.

So guys, not every story can be the same! It all can't have happy endings or have boring plots! Horror is a different way to write and it can be fun to do!

Please do not have long, drawn out comment-wars on the subject of this anymore. You guys can leave messages on talk pages (as long as they're not mean or arguing), or talk in a chatroom like the IRC or WFW Chat.

Thanks.
