Very glad you’re enjoying yourself here!

Thank you for the kind words, Dirty Unicorn. I’m so happy that you like it here, and it’s always nice to get a pat on the back. So, thank you.

Ikr? Been writing online since the dinasaurs and this was the only place I kept coming back to.

Can I just say it's really nice to have a forum and a writing forum especially where the atmosphere is generally pretty comfortable as well as actually helpful? Like I feel perfectly fine asking staff or other posters a question or for advice, because I’d actually get legit answers with no drama attached. I've been on plenty of forums before, and this is one of the very few that I feel like I'm going to be sticking with. For some reason I've noticed that people who are open about writing adult material come off as much less high-strung then people who don't (or who loudly proclaim to be against it). TL;DR: Just wanted to show my appreciation to AFF’s forums for being a non-toxic place (if it is, then it’s very well-hidden, lol). I don’t see that very often.

Anytime, guys! I like to give credit where credit is due, and you definitely deserve it! Keep up the good work. @CloverReef Yeah, when it comes to a majority of other forums out there (writing ones or not), a friend of mine’s was saying, “You end up needing escapism to get away from your escapism.”

TNG definitely got off to a wobbly start, but it improves substantially in the second season: fewer stories cribbed from TOS, better-defined roles for the characters, better uniforms, and Riker grows that awesome beard.

Re: A Beach Like No Other From InBrightestDay on April 18, 2019 No problem. I’m happy to have a review on any of them, any time! We all have our things. I’m glad you weren’t so turned off by Guidelines et al that you stopped reading my stories all together. The contrast is deliberate. Tony really appreciates their kindness because he knows too well what the lack of it is like. Because the story is sort of a tribute to the art of Glassfish, I wanted to include her in the story in some way, and making her the creator of the Beach seemed appropriate. (Also, the bit about the King of the Mists is a nod to the artist Fogbank, who mainly draws pics of lolis cavorting with adult men.) I like to mix different kinds of desires. Tony’s “nursing” on Cherisse is a sexual thing, but at the same time, it’s a reflection of his wish for a real mother figure, which Cherisse (and Annie) provide, in a way. I’m glad you enjoyed it and that you appreciate the spirit in which it was written. Thanks very much for the review!

Thank you! Our forum staff works hard to make sure this is a welcoming place, and I know they’ll love hearing from you!

Given the sheer, insane volume of your work, I really figured I shouldn’t stop looking through it just because I didn’t like some of the stories. Heck, there can be stories in the same series that net different reactions from me. That’s pretty neat. I caught a mention of “beach glass” and “fish” at the beginning of the story, but it never occurred to me that the deities were based on actual people. I actually just assumed the King of the Mists was a reference to your loli stories. At the risk of sounding weird...well weirder, that’s actually exactly what I like about “nursing” like that: beyond the purely sexual aspect, it’s a warm, soothing form of intimate contact, for both partners. I’m a big fan of gentle affection (hugs, cuddling), and nursing has always felt like part of that, an act that bridges erotic and emotional intimacy. That’s just in general. As you said, it’s even more powerful in the context of the story, given Tony’s parental neglect and Annie and Cherisse’s maternal attitudes. So yeah...sorry if that was weird. No problem! There’s another story of yours I’ll be reviewing fairly soon. It’s going to be a few days, though, since I won’t have internet for a few days, and while I wrote this post on my phone, I really don’t like writing reviews on it.

Wishing the lovely @pittwitch the very happiest of birthdays!
