I still don't have a problem with death fics, but I do have a better understanding of why some FoLCs choose not to read them.

It all comes down to personal choice and what you feel comfortable with reading. Personally I sometimes enjoy a story that is a bit depressing, but then other times I want something warm and fluffy.

Anyhoo, I enjoyed seeing what others thought on the subject. It's been really interesting.

(Incidentally, "Where the Red Fern Grows" was one of my favourite books in school wink )

Never read "Black Beauty" though...
