Suitability as a permissions piece by

I've been wondering for a bit if this would be a suitable permissions piece, given that I'm profoundly unhappy with the way my planned permissions piece is shaping up. It's not in the usual vein of the PPC - in fact, it's more of a psychological horror story - but I am proud of it as much as I'm scared of it. It has been beta'd, but it's in what is, for me, a slightly experimental style, so my feelings are mixed.
Anyone want to pop over and tell me if it's too long, too scary or whatever else comes to mind? Thanks.
Oh, yeah, and there are warnings here. It's not graphic but parts of the story are probably a potential trigger, because it's insane and stalky. -

I must have failed the HTML, sorry. No HTML this time, then.

The HTML for a link isn't [url=linky!]this[/url] - it's [a href="linky!"]this[/a]. Only with the pointy brackets, of course.

I frequent a forum that uses the other one, it always makes me so confused... I should probably continue not trying to be fancy. :/

At least on what you've said about it, it sounds workable - the biggest questions in a permission giver's mind are if you can write good characters, and if you can write well in general. As long as that's relatively visible, the genre shouldn't be a problem.
There have been multiple requests where we've asked for more, too - it's not a "we will fail you if we don't see exactly what we want" thing. -
Well, it's fairly long. by

So "more" shouldn't be a terrible problem.
