AUGH.
I know they say "Kill your darlings."
And I know that the Merc&theSnake story is...well, pretty predictable.
But the solution offered for making it not predictable means I have to gut a scene I like quite a bit--and add some gore that I'm not sure is really necessary. And it makes "saving" my protagonists...problematic. Because if they're both dead, then how do they get out?
Argh, I know this isn't making a lot of sense to people who haven't read the thing, but I just needed to vent a little, and the usual people I vent to via YIM aren't online right now. *cries*
