Should I post this story? (Moved from General Discussion)

Postby some_writer_guy » Sun Jun 26, 2016 9:04 am

Hello everyone. I believe I mentioned at some point that I write alot of historical fiction, especially dealing with war through the ages. Inasmuch, I sometimes find little devious ways of involving a bit of mud here and there in some of the stories. I have yet to write much in the way of straight quicksand-themed stuff, mind you, but when you're writing old-school warfare, what with marching down dirt roads, fighting in trenches, etc, you get a few opportunities (And get to get away with) to sometimes wax a little too poetic about muck, and even include a mud, quicksand, drowning or burial death here and there.

But I digress...I have a story I was working on, and I was wanting to post a chapter of it here. I just don't know if it may offend someone. The main character is a 19 year old woman who is in the infamous Waffen SS in the final months of World War Two. The character is a ardent supporter of Naziism. That point alone has me wondering if it would be appropriate, as she does voice some rather...non politically correct beliefs before her (some would say well-deserved) run-in with a rather nasty bog à la The Dawns Here are Quiet.

What do you guys think? Is it acceptable, and further question, would you guys LIKE to read such a story? If so, please let me know, and I shall humbly submit it.

It doesn't promote the ideology of National Socialism, and neither do I. The fact that something bad happens to the character is sort of a fitting punishment, so it is in fact almost the opposite. Franziska, the main character is...ahem...hardly likable, and in the story, she's been opportunistic and vicious from the Hitler's Youth program up, and is responsible directly and indirectly for quite a few deaths. She's done very much to secure the position she has in the SS, a rare thing for a woman (but it did happen). She's a major villain in the work, but the fact that she IS in fact young and pretty, wearing an SS Panzerkorps uniform, and she's a badguy makes the scene at least a LITTLE sexy, IMO. Well...I DID write it after all. LOL

The "story" is a chapter, and if I post it, I'll have to mess around with it a bit first, to make it a kind of stand-alone work for the reader. Anyone else think it would be worth reading? I humbly await your answers. :)

Sounds good to me. I'd most likely read it.
