'''You forgot one. Category:Shock Ending'''
 * Beings and its associated categories.
 * Death: I honestly think this should be split into at least two categories at this point. Simply too encompassing for horror.
 * Mental Illness
 * Nazi: Is this even necessary? I mean, we have History and Military.
 * People: Is it about people? Many stories are about people (I would say too many to categorize), even when they are about other things as well. Going by the description, I'm assuming this category is supposed to be for pastas where the story centers EXCLUSIVELY around interaction between people. Or something. I don't know. I've always been fuzzy on when this one is supposed to be used.
 * Reality is for pastas that make you question a certain pretense you hold/previously held about reality. I think people just don't read the category description on this one.
 * Spongebob: Why do we have this again? I mean, at least PokéMon has a few hundred pages; this one has FORTY.
 * Weird

LOLSKELETONS hit most of them, but I agree. Shock Ending is kind of vague anyway. What defines a shock? Some people are shocked more easily than others. I'm not shocked by anything anyway, at least not in writing. (Unless my girlfriend texted me and said she was pregnant or something, and it would be doubly shocking because nothing of that sort has happened.)
