One last thing regarding my thing on the emotional impact, something I feel I have to say.

I'm not going for a whole society where snuff is casual enough that there's no negative emotional impact.

What I'm going for is a bit more of a 'suicide pact' kind of thing - the characters have decided to end their lives together, with the random element that you originally suggested, but there is still going to be a little sorrow in there as they take each other's lives.

I guess... I guess that's the main thing that differentiates us - you go for a whole culture where death is something just casually accepted, and while I can like stories like that (Eterya's CYoA among them), I tend to also balance them out with stories set in societies that at least hold life semi-sacred, meaning that death still brings a bit of sorrow.

That... that's all I have to say on the matter. Thank you for hearing my rant. I shall shut up now, until the next idea pops into my head.
