InBrightestDay's (Originals) Review Reply & Discussion Thread
InBrightestDay replied to InBrightestDay's topic in General
Well, I responded to Invidia’s review first because of how brief it was, but by far the most detailed review of Meaningful Gifts comes from @JayDee! So perhaps there is no such thing as bad publicity. 😄 Also, many people with incest kinks were awakened that day… Honestly, I hadn’t really considered that until you pointed it out, but it is rather appropriate. I am honestly proud of how the finished product turned out, so, much like Lexi and Drew’s relationship development, this story might have happened exactly when it was meant to. 😊 That was a tricky, but I felt really important part of the story. Meaningful Gifts is a kind of incest story I rarely see. Usually in these stories the sibling relationship starts off completely normal, and then something happens that causes it to shift. I can see why this premise is used, as it works with the basic storytelling structure of the status quo and its disruption by the inciting incident of the plot. However, this was a different approach, about a brother and sister who have been inching toward an incestuous relationship for the majority of their lives, a journey of a thousand tiny steps instead of one or two huge leaps. Thus, it became very much the story of a life together, so the flashbacks were snapshots of this long, gradual evolution of their relationship toward something romantic. I was particularly fond of what you mentioned regarding the bed, because it wasn’t precisely sexual, but instead about this sense of deep emotional intimacy, and how much the siblings have come to enjoy and draw comfort from each other’s physical touch without even really thinking about it, how that started as a way to comfort each other in childhood and now became this deeply cozy form of intimacy. The messed up childhood was part of that, explaining why Lexi and Drew have always been intensely close. Their parents were never outright abusive, but at the same time they were a source of anxiety and stress, which meant the siblings had each other’s backs for most of their lives, leading to an abnormally close bond which just continued to grow, even after they got way from their parents. Thank you! 😊 That was a very late addition, actually, emerging when I was trying to structure the dialogue exchange there in the epilogue, but I think it’s very appropriate. Even if that final step into the sexual dimension of their relationship happened very organically, I like this idea that when they realized it was happening, both siblings needed to consider it and make sure it was what they really wanted before they went further. Me too! There are a few little callbacks like that, but that was the most prominent, and is probably my favorite. In the vein of the general vibe I was going for, it felt both kind of sweet and hot. Ok, so amusingly, the choker had been around for a while, but the chemise was something that only materialized in my head in December. When designing the actual gift-giving scene, I’d known for a long time, like at least a year, about Drew’s “for my soulmate” card, and then later settled on him giving his sister some kind of necklace, something that you could give a sibling, but that feels more romantic given the context of the card. I hadn’t thought a ton about Lexi’s half of the scene, until December when I suddenly panicked because it hit me: Oh shit, what did she get for him? It had to be something more explicitly for a romantic partner, since Lexi was more confident about this in general, and was also going to be the one to guide her little brother through sex, but I wasn’t sure. I finally thought “What if it’s something she wears for him?” and lo and behold, there were holiday sales going that allowed some manner of slip or sexy nightgown to be bought within the financial constraints I’d established for the siblings. I used a photo of a real item I saw available online as reference for Lexi’s chemise. I do have to go back to the choker for a moment, though, because that is one that is very up my alley. I’m not sure why, but when thinking for writing erotic fiction, there is something extremely hot to me about a woman wearing nothing but a necklace, and the contrast of the black lace band against her fair skin was really striking and hot. Glad it worked for more people than just me! 😄 Aaand she won’t be the last tall, well-endowed woman I write! Much appreciated on the point of sensuality, though. I wanted this to be...well, as you said: That is my favorite kind of sex scene, and it’s also fairly rare in terms of what I’ve found in my reading: spicy and sweet. It was very appropriate here, given the emotional context it takes place in. It’s also a reason I’m thankful that this took a little longer to write than it would have otherwise, because I feel like I only got it right during my second attempt at the scene. It is interesting to think about this in the context of another story I must get to some day. There are important differences, but this almost served like a training run for The Spider House. Yua is also a tall, full-chested woman who is deeply sensual a lot of the time, Cody comes from an unpleasant home and their first time together is likely to have some similarities to this. Hopefully I haven’t set a bar so high that TSH can’t measure up! Honestly, I am! I did have to go back and edit a few things even after posting it, but they were mostly minor tweaks here and there. By and large, I’m pretty proud of this one. 😊 -

Thank you!

Ah, congratulations! I’d imagine it’s a satisfying thing to finally bring that story series to a close. Interesting. So this isn’t a continuation of Duncan and Company’s story, but is linked to Interregnum instead. The start of a new Holiday Canon?

This is true! And a well-done Halloween story it was, in my opinion. 🙂

I did manage a Hallowe’en fic this year, for a change! I started a Holiday fic but things got crazy. I might still try to finish it, maybe by Midwinter?

😆 “Gawd as my witness, that man is broken in half.” Well, next fic won’t be smut (The Lake House is non-erotic), but hopefully it’ll still be a good read!

From InBrightestDay on January 09, 2026 Insidious by InvidiaRed I swear I spent so long trying to figure out whether this was linked to the stuff going on with Duncan and Company. Actually finishing up with Duncan and Co. They’ve been through alot and Logan is finally getting his spotlight. Being forced to think to be active and being held to account. However, the mentions of Venusian cloud cities and other off-world colonies implies this is a different setting, somewhere in the far future. It seems that this horseman here (the horse is Fallow, so maybe he's Famine) has some sort of amnesia. Is that something he placed on himself, or did he commit some sort of crime and this is the punishment? I am also curious about these other characters. Lucifer is generally referred to as the morning star, so the evening star is likely another person, and Mr. Blue is a complete mystery. Still I get the gist of it, as we may be seeing the end times beginning by the time the story stops, what with the Beast rising from the sea and all. The only spoiler I’ll give is thus. Which Beast is which? The Morningstar did fall. Yet rare indeed is the one that never did. I do find it interesting to think about who the woman Famine's thinking about was. It seems to be something left for a potential follow-up in years to come. Whether you do follow this up or not, it's still a cool little piece; thank you for sharing! You liked her height if I recall.

To answer kinda selfie but definitely masturbation lol.

Now I hear a pro-wrestling announcer, “Bah gawd! It can’t be! InBrighestDay has returned to AFF, swinging that sex fic like a mad man!”

InBrightestDay's (Originals) Review Reply & Discussion Thread
InBrightestDay replied to InBrightestDay's topic in General
Meaningful Gifts is my first holiday story in a long time, and my longest by quite a bit at 11,016 words. It’s an entry into a...genre? Kink? Well, “romantic incest” at any rate, whatever one wants to call that, and while one of these stories was my first ever work of erotic fiction, this is the first one I’ve published on AFF. first review comes from @InvidiaRed! 😄 Honestly I didn’t remember if I was quoting something or not. I’d seen coffee referred to as “bean water” or “scalding bean water” in a couple places, and this particular variation felt right for the moment. Also I’m glad to see you got the reference to the official corporate sponsor of Christmas-themed brother-sister erotica everywhere, Folgers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMwFWDIFVCU -
As a follow-up, specifically to the @JayDee point I missed in my previous post, I too miss the days when there were tons of entries to these holiday anthologies, but maybe it’s cyclical. The other writers are still around, and if I can throw a story into the anthology after being absent from the holiday lineup for years, then you never know when someone else will reappear! 🙂

Ah, good old selfcest. Like accidentally creating a stable time loop by coming back to the past to warn you not to have sex with your future self because it will cause the end of the world, but one thing leads to another.

I did run into that, but my immediate concern was the fact that I wasn’t sure how many spaces to put between paragraphs to make sure the site would display them. My first attempt resulted in the story being crunched into a single chunk of text, and I don’t think anyone wants to read an 11,000 word paragraph. 😄
-
Well… Certainly Death and Decay do. It would? Selfcest?

So, and I realise this may be the kind of tastelessly offensive question you may want to ignore, but if Famine fucked Fallow, or vice versa, would that be masturbation?

From JayDee on January 08, 2026 Man, forums really have lost their influence… the holiday stories used to get loads of contributions… Such things happen. Insidious by InvidiaRed …is it bad I know what Therion means, but couldn’t quite remember the word/root for Amato? I know more beasts than loved ones I guess. I’m not… entirely sure what happened overall. This is very much a fault of mine rather than the story. The protagonist is a horseman of the apocalypse? Famine? The colt is the horseman’s horse, Fallow? Good name for famine’s horse, that. Fallow and Famine. Two beings, two parts of the same whole. Fallow is the more dangerous of the two. It actually took me a long while until I found the perfect contrast. Death rides Decay, Conquest Rides Conflict, War rides Woe. And the server was just an employee except when it was being an angel with his voice? I got all that. I liked a bunch of the individual sentences I could follow, like the destruction of the satellite, that was cool, It was the perfect way to show just how beyond The Blue Death is. Icarcus is his ult. and the beast rising at the end, and the description of the endless battlefield. All good stuff! Also, I found the half-remembered J, and the past time compelling. Feel like it’d be neat for ‘em to hook up again. “Terrible and proud as only a living blasphemy could. The salted sheets cascading off its lumbering form.” Thank you. That’s my favorite bit, right near the end. Really good bit of imagery. JD, Also a living blasphemy.
