Ignorance is(n't) Bliss Question!

Hey, guys. serious question. I've looked at a few stories with the dark tag, and honestly my story is never going to get that dark. so should I keep the dark tag? from what you've seen of my story so far, would it be too far of a stretch to remove that tag?
your thoughts on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

If you planning to keep the story in the form as so far then I think that you can safely remove that tag
Unless you plannig to described in detail some fighting scenes (you know blood and so-so)

1406103 I kinda figured as much. the main reason I put it in in the first place was because I mentioned that the Dridune had preformed vivisections before, and were about to do it to twilight. I wasn't sure if that would be considered too dark without that tag, so I slapped it on just to be safe.

Well, the official description of the tag is

Dark: If you boil it down, a Dark Category story brings forth the contrast of good and evil. The story deals with corruption, war, death (violent), horror... basically what would make a world 'darker and grittier'. It doesn't have to be outright violent, for example, if you look at most fairy-tales they have a lot of happy or even nice things happen before the ultimate dark aspect (the death/torture/destruction of the bad guy or unfortunate hero) takes place.

So while your story certainly isn't the darkest thing out there, I think it still fits the definition.

1406148 thank you, but I think that is what has been driving people away from my story. they take one look at the dark tag, and immediately think "grimdark." which certainly isn't the case here.

anyway, I removed it, but I may add it back on later.
