Will publishers think my novel is too edgy if at one point the

That isn't very safe anon, have you shot guns before? What if it went off, come on anon.

>>9195032
No but they will probably think you must be 17yo to think something like that is edgy and not some bonafide trite tarantiniesque writing. Also, stop ripping off scene's off of Korine, you are better than this

I've never actually seen the film so I couldn't really rip it off. Plus there's probably not that much sucking, just ass beating and then having a gun forced in her mouth and waggled a few times. I was thinking about having it just set on her upper lip, right underneath the nostrils that way there could be a sequence of imagining the damage a bullet would do and chances of survival

They'll probably be more put off by your horrible writing before they ever get to that point.

>>9195100
what if its the opening scene? or more likely, my prose isn't actually that shit

>>9195032
post the scene please. I need more context

>>9195104
Still stand by my statement.

>>9195032
how is that edgy? it's tame and cringe.

I was thinking more of a katana if I go down the blade route.
Or the baton that was just used to beat her partner's brains out

Make her deep throat a pike.

find a publisher that deals exclusively with books that feature armament felatio as the opening scene. Bound to be one.

Sounds like the kind of thing that someone somewhere would do. Just write it like it has a place in the story and not like you've got your dick in your hand while you wrote it. A mark of great writing is the ability to change emotional tones well and regularly. So if your novel is nothing but guns and sex, it's going to seem one-dimensional. But if you have to ask...

>>9195218
there you go.

Hell, start you own press, with a name like that.

i hope this is bait. That's not even "edgy", it's cliche, and it's not the reason you are not going to be published

Pick two.

Seriously, only bull dykes join the police. The kind of women that want to be one of the guys.
At the very least she should be kind of plain and androgynous, probably on the fat side.

"Demure" just isn't going to happen outside of pornography, and it's obvious from your choice of words that you wrote that scene for your own sexual satisfaction. I'm not a moralfag, but generally writers that are clearly indulging themselves and not their readers do not get published.

>plain and androgynous
yes, but she'd be more flat than fat
if ever attractive, she's supposed to be cute not sexy
demure is a bit weird because I hate the demure archetype; I'll work on it

>>9195497
It's still a d-grade porn stereotype. Btw you're a hack, kill yourself

>>9195514
>Btw you're a hack, kill yourself
for the audience I'm writing for, no one's a hack unless they're literally 13 years old and only watched one episode of Sword Art Online

I think that this trainwreck of a scene could be saved if the gun did went off and you just killed your protagonist mid-novel, and the rest of it was a Godot-esque situation where everyone is expecting for the protagonist to become relevant to the plot again and she never does
