One of the things that are studied in literature and narrative is the things that are untold in a story. The reader has to fill those holes in the structure of the story to build what the hell the author was trying to transmit, the things that we know about the author play an important role in that.
The fact that you're unknow as author, meaning that we don't know how you're in reality is a great card to play. I liked the story of how did you murder your wife lol, but imo the final note warning that was a fiction is unnecessary. Let people extract their own conclusions, would be very funny to find comments escandalized for your fictional murder.
It still required the fiction tag. In the past I've written humor and people have taken it seriously. It gets ugly if I don't add these things in. I still made sure to use the art tag first as to not give it away completely off the start. If I want to catch people off guard with humor, I'll use the 'art' tag or 'life' as well, because if they know the joke is coming, there's less chance they'll laugh. I think the shock effect then being told to relax was a nice touch but you're right, it would have been interesting to see the comments, but I don't want the cops knocking either.
Lol if the cops go to your house for that please make a video and upload it here that would be the best marketing campaign for you lmao. In that sense I see coming a Streisand effect for your downvotes. Your earnings have increased instead of decreasing or at least that's the impression is giving to me. You have more support than ever.
I didn't skimp on the effort either. That's new art, took awhile to make...
I hope others at least have fun.
