Hey, DaraLynn here. I'm afraid I'll be delaying this story for at least a short while - for a somewhat odd reason. The story is completed, all 16 chapters, but writer's block is not the reason for this. Well, perhaps in a way it is. Thing is, this story is very dark. It contains a few non-consensual sex scenes. I wrote this story as a challenge, to see if I could, basically, but now that I have I'm uncertain. I've never written anything like this before, and while the story is, I feel, not badly-done and handled maturely, I'm suddenly hesitant about posting it. I don't think I realized till just recently how disturbing and quite graphic it is. Not very violent, but probably something that would freak a lot of people, me included. In all honesty, I think this story is a pretty good one, so I thought maybe if I made it a little less graphic I'd feel better. No such luck. Writer's block has struck with a vengeance, and I find I can't alter this story without destroying it. Basically, it's like this - I think "No Painless Way" is fairly good. But it's graphic and dark and contains things I wouldn't wish on anyone, especially a musical group I care for. I don't want to upset anyone or let it be thought that I would ever wish harm to Justin Timberlake, who I would honestly give my life to protect. So the decision falls to you. Over the next few days, if I receive more "Post the story" e-mails than "Don't post it" emails, I will gladly post it, with appropriate warnings as to the dark content. If most people seem to want me not to post it, then I probably won't. Either way, I promise that future stories will be more humorous and lighter. I love this archive and I love being part of it. In summation, I guess what I'm asking is for you guys to tell me that my posting "NPW" is okay. All right, this is long enough. Please send me your opinions at DaraLynn_writings@hotmail.com. Thank you.
