Dear Readers

I really didn't want it to come to this, but I'm stuck in a rut here and I need your guys' help.

Basically, here's the problem: this story, Rhapsody's Song, has gone in the opposite direction I'd planned it to. It's too….light, fluffy. Not my writing style. Whether I'm just insanely morbid, or the aspects of my life make it so, I'm better at writing serious, grim fictions with comedy added for the reason of keeping people sane.

But in all honesty, I wouldn't be a good inspiring author if I couldn't bend to the will of my readers, right? -sweat droplet-

Okay, here's the deal. The story can go in two directions; it can continue in this happy-ish tone, or it can go in the more dramatic, grim tone. I've prepared some pros and cons for each.

Happy Arc

Pros

Rating stays the same

Happier

Readers become guinea pigs

Cons

Stressed situations

Stereotypical

Updates less frequent

No plan whatsoever

Grim Arc

Pros

Original (I hope) plot

More frequent (or better than now) updates Actually funny comedy

Large cast of characters

Already (mostly) planned

Cons

Rating increases

Large cast of characters

Character Deaths (yup, plural)

Loss of readers

Naturally, you'll all think of more. Both arcs with center around Rhapsody, her family, and the random people who interact with them. Different characters have different roles in each arc, so I won't go into all of that, you'll just see how that all works when I start up again.

What I really need is your guys' help. I need your opinions, ideas. Yes, ALL of you. PM me, or email me. I'll even leave my email here for you to contact me. If I don't get enough feedback, well, you'll all just have to deal with my choice.

Sorry to beg so, but I'm lost on my own. I need my readers' help.

Gawd, I sound like a whiney baby

Humbly,

Jynx Tsilevon
