Please forgive me, as this is just one quicksand fan’s personal preference and says nothing of the other, high-quality quicksand stories that we have seen here. However, since the last few years, we have had a dearth of the type of quicksand story that I have always liked: where the victims sink into quicksand willingly, even happily, and submerge without a struggle, perhaps even enthusiastically going under with no intention of trying to get out. Yes, it is unrealistic (a recurring complaint), but that is what makes it fiction.

That aside, in the last couple of years (yes, after the departure of our universal friend, God rest him), we have had maybe a couple of willing stories, even fewer where the victims stay under. I just wanted to ask: are we that averse to those kinds of stories here? These are just my own two cents, but if any authors here are wondering if someone else likes those types of stories, then be assured that you have my vote, and I would LOVE to see them!!! Are there people who are willing? Anyone have thoughts to share on the subject? Story ideas, for that matter? What will it take to see more of this on QSF?!?!?!?!?!?!



Hope to see what anyone has to say on the subject. Cheers.
