Well, it only took five subs...

... to get me annoyed. Every year I say, "no severed body parts," and every year one or more authors seem to feel that I will somehow find the severed body part(s) in THEIR stories charming. Well, I don't. I'm a wimp, and I'm proud of it. No severed body parts! No dead babies! Yes, it's possible to write horror stories without those elements.

I've never thought of either of you as the "severed body parts-type," writing-wise that is. :-)

Don't be so sure. I've been known to write about the occasional severed body part...but generally they are genteel, subtle, _classy_ severed body parts ;)

I really don't like engaging in "thou shall nots" on the guidelines page, because severed body parts in the um...right hands (like yours)...can make all the difference, but after a while it just became easier to "outlaw" them because my stomach flips a bit too easily.

Yeah. I really prefer my horror on the atmospheric (read: old-fashioned) side. But those newfangled severed body parts just keep crawling back. (See, I'm even a little grossed out by what I just wrote.) :-)
