I appreciate controversial work, and this is a case where I would rather know about it from someone else's experiences. I've already seen The Passion and Pink Flamingos I really don't want to see A Serbian Film ever or Saw IV through X. So what are you conveying? The same horror of the original or your own twist, or your reaction to the story...This was written for last year's NaPM, so I don't think I had any specific goals in mind when I wrote this, other than to craft a good piece. I guess in this case, "good" means "vile", albeit coherent, aesthetically pleasing vileness -- make of that what you will.
As for "someone else's experiences", what do you mean? That I compose something from a different point of view, or that I not have been the one to write this? I'm sure there are better variations on the theme out there -- de Sade, of course -- or maybe you mean you would rather know about how I treat controversial work in general? For the last case....I don't know. Writing this, I didn't think of controversy, only of fulfilling the prompt right; editing this, all I want is something good*; and reading pieces like this, I don't think I consciously treat something as controversial or not, unless it deals with something more topical like politics or the environment. Anyway, thanks for the consideration!
* - sort of. This has passed through one or two minor rounds of editing from its composition, and aside from punctuation/capitalization, the only real change I know of is "Innana" substituting "Anubis", to better tie it with other pieces that I've written. I like to think that at some point I can collect all this to make a book, but you don't really need to consider that.
