It is abit too strong for it. It's like you're trying to make a nice ice tea then you dump some chili pepper into it. I have no rpboem with swears it just doesn't seem to fit. Other than that it's a nice cute story <3 | ||

But artistically I disagree for the same reasons. It might take a certain knowledge of psychology, or rare personal experience to understand why it fits perfectly, but it's quite literal. I would be altering the only part that is realistic to make it fit with what people think realistic should be (which of course is fantasy). I could explain in detail, but only if you ask. | ||

Personally I was surprised people were surprised about it - I also thought it fit perfectly, even though I probably don't quite understand it - at least not in the way you do, just like I generally don't understand all of your story - I don't think I even want to, I have my own interpretation of it - but I love it. | ||

Although it wasn't contrived (I was just transposing real thoughts into a fantasy universe) most people in my audience didn't get it/like it and therefore it should be changed. I thought the "Zerglings don't fuck" added a perfect sense of something (realism? despair? cruel realization?) to the piece, and I would argue that it became that much stronger and evocative because people don't get it. Startling your reader into disagreeing, and more importantly thinking, is all part of good literature. | ||
