Evil Writer Is Evil

Well, writers, actually, since I'm going over Torn World stuff with ellenmillion

Tonight's main task was reading ellenmillion's latest notes on Rai's character sheet and contemplating some of the challenges in his early life.

I'm also browsing Fala's character sheet with its latest round of comments.  Fala and her friends get stuffed through a meat grinder.  The end is nowhere in sight.  Muahahahahah!

Not knowing if you pay attention to LJ messages and not having an e-mail address for you, I'd like to ask you a question. Perhaps it's even something you could throw up as its own post. After finding a Canadian women's magazine which publishes speculative fiction, I started pondering over the meaning of the term and came up with the following problem:

What is an example of a fictional story which would NOT qualify as speculative fiction? To rephrase the question, is there a discernable difference between fiction (a type of writing) and speculative fiction (a genre)?

I know that originally spec-fic was synonymous with sci-fi, but in my case I'm asking in reference to the more broad interpretation which thus engulfs so many other genres.
I have posted this as a separate discussion. Thank you for the prompt!

Being fascinated with evil out of unresolved issues of prepubescent rebellion of unbalanced or hyprocritical moral formation in upbringing is quite different than getting your hands dirty. Ultimately you're a priss. Sure you may enjoy watching someone else suffer. But can you kill someone, rape their dead body, eat their remains, and chant your soul away with the same glee you evidence watching you believe is your nemisis suffering without reason?

Black magick is more sane and is an eternal work that lasts more than one day to appease a malaligned, foolish, intellectually and emotionally stunted child.

Your parents failed you. But at this point you're only failing yourself.
People do experience buffer overflows; but human protections include the ability to identify trolls and other virii.
Stylistically, the comment to which you are replying matches comments from a user who has been banned from this LJ for offensive comments. I have now taken further steps to avoid this sort of verbal litter.
