This is a case of "it's not you it's me" (or is it?). I want the message my books send to be overall optimistic, which doesn't mean I only enjoy stories with a HEA and sprinkles, it means books, imo, even when sad, gloomy or tragic, they should be so with a reason, otherwise it's just life with its nonsensical casualties and chance. I don't know about you but I read precisely to escape those things so I don't want to find them again in my books. Books should be a tool to understand life, they should have a life of their own, they should not be an excuse to imitate life's chaos and randomness, because books, unlike life, are written and can thus be stirred in a direction or other and if this direction doesn't make much sense and is only used for the dramatic and tragic effect, well.. let's just say I have the goddamn right to be pissed about it.
