LarrySun: I think Stephen King derives some pleasure in scaring the Bejasus out of us(not saying he is a sadist though), Maybe our NL writers get the same kick out of it. It could be done better though. |

Wininiel: It's not so much about rules as it is decorum and decency. I still maintain that anyone can write. But in order to be a classic progressive writer your work must be also acceptable to the larger (preferably more influential) population. 2 Likes |

JigsawKillah:You should tell that to other writers as well who writes in hard cover!. Royver, you sound like. Child complaining bout too much violence and gore!. Every writer has his particular way of writing and means of telling his or her own story!. I'll soon drop my stories here, and it has to do with occult practices, crime, murder, sacrifice, sex etc. If Seun or the mods feel its too intense to grace Nairaland, I'll take my stories else where. You shouldn't make your opinions a standard fact for all to accept! Bro. If you see a story you don't like because there is child abuse/violence, by all means, ignore it!. Life no be by force!!!. After all, we watch many Nollywood/Hollywood movies where much much worse is done!. 1 Like |

You are right on point op. There are certain writers, here on NL, who write this type of disgusting behavior into every story they write. It makes me wonder about their character. For one to write such smut and depravity in every story one pens, it's as if they get off on it. I would never trust such a person around my children, or siblings. |

The point here shouldn't be about the gory descriptions in some of the stories, but ABOUT THEIR RELEVANCE to the entire story. Writing about murder just for the sake of getting the readers hooked is a no no, if it would have no bearing on the rest of the story. Frank 3:16(17) does it, making the reader mentally squirm in disgust, but at the end you see that the bloody scene(s) is highly relevant to the entire story. Don't do it just for the fun of it and end up losing yourself in the process. That's just like a man who had enough money to build a house, using normal corrugated roofing sheets, but decides to shoot above his means by using the entire budget for oven-baked, roofing panels; only to, after another 15 years, still be searching for the funds to make his dream come true. A writer sure gets bolder with experience and recognition...we see this in Chimamanda's latter works where sexual expressions are generously(almost irritatingly) detailed...far cries from the cautious 'testing the waters' mien of Purple Hibiscus. |

Its called 'rude awakening'. Stories are meant to expose you to things happening around you. Instead of seeing the negative aspect of it, why not see it as an awareness. Foreign stories have worse scenarios and no one complains. Its just to remind you that evil exists. Trust me, such things happen in real life regularly, one should be conscious of his/her surroundings at all time. You are meant to LEARN something... that is the sole purpose of reading any kind of book whatsoever. 'even if na ordinary vocabulary' THANK YOU!!! Note: most writers have a writing pattern. 2 Likes |

Standard truth: Sex Sells Violence arouse empathy Romance entices... you get the picture. Everyone cant and wont write the same, our breadth of imagination is relative to past experiences and exposure. So thou shouldn't judge or feel there's a written code of what should go and what shouldn't go. |

You are saying the truth bro,infact,I lose interest in some write-ups due to their boring & unconventional ideas;some even prolong their stories more than it should making it unproffesional. 1 Like |
