@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Seriously, Ms. Bramwell, you're going to tone police horror fiction? Which, as you might have noticed, is the sort of fiction Keelah Rose usually posts? The whole genre is severely politically incorrect, almost by definition.
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Twitter has a well-established tradition of writers building on each other's stories, so I'm hardly showing Ms. Rose any disrespect by posting this here. Quite the contrary.
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose As for your seeming inability to distinguish between fiction and reality, or even what anybody is imagining might become reality, as I have said many times before, I am a mathematician, not a psychiatrist. I am not qualified to help you deal with that issue.
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose I'm also under no obligation, either professional or moral, to try, so I'm just going to tell you to grow up and get over it.
May I get back to work on that story, now, without any further interruptions or distractions? If it wouldn't be too much bother?

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Just finished the rough draft of a story that I posted as a reply to Keelah Rose's story. For those who wonder about such things, the name of the woman in the story is "Cheyenne Henry" and the manic in the story is named "Simon Bramwell."

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose No threat or defamation of any kind should be inferred from anything I just wrote. That I even have to say that is a sad comment on this community, our culture as it currently stands and the management style of this company, which seems to focus on the appeasement of crazy people
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose As I said, the story is a rough draft, something I threw together on the spot. I'm sure the comic timing is way off, that the story is too blunt and obvious and that in some areas, the prose could be tightened up a bit.
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose But let's take a look at what I'm doing, as seen through the eyes of somebody with common sense, as opposed to those of an SJW or a radical feminist.
It's a satire of narcissism and the New Age, done in a horror format.

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Simon Bramwell (no relation to Simon Henry) really does (as far as we can tell) mean well in a shallow sort of way. He's no philosopher, and should see this, but he's too pleased with himself to ever take a good, hard look at himself and see that he's a serial killer, not a guru.
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose I'm not going to apologize for the fact that in the story, I tortured Cheyenne Henry and maybe killed her (again, we don't know) for one very important reason.
Cheyenne Henry doesn't really exist. She's a fictional character.

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose When somebody creates a fuss over how a fictional character is being treated, as Cheyenne Bramwell (@PoemsbyCheyenne) just did, that somebody really needs to get a grip.
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Horror (what seems to be Keelah's Rose's favorite genre) is supposed to make us squirm. If it doesn't do that, what good is it?
Satire is not supposed to make anybody feel good about themselves. It is a cruel genre, by its very nature.

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose That I have to take the time to tell supposedly full grown adults something this obvious is sad, a little scary and more than a little frustrating.
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose I've been trying to spare my followers the experience of hearing about drama by avoiding discussions in which silly things are being said, today, so that their timelines will have more fun and less ranting, and what happens?
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose I find a story posted by another author, do a traditionally Twitteresque thing and expand on her story - and somebody chooses to create drama about that.
Is there any good way to avoid drama on this site?

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Even though I've blocked you, Ms. Bramwell, and might leave you blocked, I'm sure you're going to see this, because we all know how to use incognito windows, so I'll ask you this:
What possible excuse could there be for the way you behaved?

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Were you thinking that I was threatening a horror author by posting a horror story in response to something she wrote? If so, does that mean that you think that open mike nights turn into bloodbaths the moment horror writers show up?
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose To do an homage to another author is practically a cliche at such gatherings.
What was going through your mind, and why was I hearing about it as I was in the middle of writing a story?

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose While I'm aware of the fact that heckling is a part of the poetry jam experience, if that's what you were doing, that is a wildly inappropriate thing to do as a fiction writer sets up his piece.
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Especially a long form piece. When you engage in such behavior, you're killing the flow of the story and making it harder for the reader to follow. While one might be able to feel a poem, one needs to understand a story.
Interruptions undermine that understanding.
Interruptions undermine that understanding.
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Or, rather than engaging in heckling, were you having "feels" about the fact that the character being tortured was female and were hoping to make me feel guilty about that fact?
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose If so, good luck with that. In one of the first stories I ever wrote, I killed off one of my own uncles while he was still a small child, and burned my grandmother to death. Only fictionally, of course.
In real life, that uncle is still with us.

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose But yes, in fiction, I kill women, I kill children, I kill adorable little puppies and kittens and I do so without remorse because they're not real. Fictional characters are imaginary.
Are you keeping up with me, or is that one of those things you need to get through your head?

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Was it evil for me to kill (or really just wound) a fictional character. You seem to think so, Cheyenne, but you know what would really be dark and twisted?

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose In real life, as opposed to the woke fantasy world you seem to want us to take up residence in, real women and real children really do get murdered. When one's fictional world fails to reflect that reality, one harms suspension of disbelief, damaging one's writing.
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose One does so without achieving any legitimately humanitarian goal.
To create a fictional world in which women are never harmed is, on a subconscious level. to encourage one's female membership to imagine itself in a world in which it needs to use far less caution than it does.

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Remember that university student who stepped into what she thought was an Uber, a few months ago, and ended up getting knifed to death?
She trusted the world far too much for her own good, and paid a terrible price for her lack of understanding.

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Fear is not always a bad thing. Fear keeps us alive. We need fear.
When I give you a character who is a piece of excrement, I remind the reader of that need.

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose So, when you get self-righteous about the fact that I'm being mean to a fictional woman, if you're thinking at all as you say that, what you're saying is that you care more about fictional characters than you do about real people.
If so, that's seriously messed up.

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose But not completely surprising. Twitter is the site on which I met my first few hundred Nazis, so maybe there's a reason why somebody on it would object to the posting of a satire of Narcissism.
It hit too close to home, maybe?

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Notes: 1. @PoemsbyCheyenne (Cheyenne Bramwell) blocked me.
2. I've been archiving these tweets, including hers, so dirty deleting (as usual) would prove futile).
3. No, I'm not sorry, and I shouldn't be.

@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose 4. Time to do another roll up. All of this is going to get stored on another site, so if somebody does manage to get Twitter to act, the company is going to be held up to mockery. Which is what I was trying to do by naming the characters after her and Simon.
@PoemsbyCheyenne @Simon_Henry27 @misskeelahrose Not that I'm sure Simon deserves any mockery. Was he white knighting or just doing an homage of his own, by having the character do something that a Keelah Rose character might very well do?
Hard to be sure, at this point.
