Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, also known as the Columbine shooters.

Any comments telling me I'm going to Hell will be very kindly ignored. Take it for what it is, which is a work of fiction and artistic expression.

I don't condone the Columbine shootings.





Edit, as of 01/01/2009:

Okay, people, seriously. Time for a talk.

I am not making any claims about anyone's sexuality. I am not stating that this is what actually happened. I am not saying that I am any sort of authority on anything regarding this.

Before anyone complains about what I'm going to say, several of the inaccuracies are there due to the piece needing to fit a prompt - this was written for a competition almost three years ago. This is an old piece. I am not planning on reworking it. I am not going to rewrite it. I am not going to do anything with this in any way, shape or form. This is still here so I have an easy way to remember that I wrote it, honestly, and so I can have a way to judge any improvement I may have made in my writing since this was posted.

I have stated that this is a work of fiction - take it as a reimagining, if it makes you feel better to word it that way. I'm honestly tired of people lecturing me about the inaccuracies - I already know that it's inaccurate, and I would really appreciate people not jumping down my throat because "that's not how it happened at all!" So please, please, just untwist your knickers and stop trying to "correct" me - complaining to me about facts that I "got wrong" will do absolutely nothing but waste both your time and mine.

While I really do appreciate your attempts to educate me on what happened at Columbine, I have already done a fair amount of research on the topic. I am perfectly aware that this is not an accurate representation, nor was it intended to be in the first place. Furthermore, as this is not a recent piece, I have no interest in reworking it. All of the lecturing about inaccuracies in a supremely old piece that wasn't supposed to be an accurate retelling in the first place (and one that I have no interest in updating) really isn't helping anyone. If you consider it to be immature of me to refuse to update or edit this even though I know there are things wrong with it, so be it. I'm sorry if I've lost any of your respect due to such matters, but honestly, enough is enough.

If you have something to say to me about the mechanics of the piece itself - issues with my writing, etc - feel free to comment, but please knock it off when it comes to the complaints of inaccuracy. Believe it or not, I already know.
