I think, if anyone can truly do justice to the horror that is mpreg, it would be either dafdes or JayDee. (And I say this as a dedicated slash writer, who has never embarked on the journey to the Hells that is mpreg.)

If the story is not set in the Vocaloid world, and the character and plot are original, then what we ask is that you place it in the Original subdomain, with the standard disclaimer for an Original story, and add a fandom disclaimer for the Vocaloid fandom to cover the cosplay mention. Sort of like this: "This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is unintentional. I do not own or profit from Vocaloids."

Chapter 47 is up, in which the young genasi learns that with responsibilitty comes a great deal more responsibility. And rubble.

The like button isn't working right now, but considered this liked by me.

Yes!

The warning certainly covers it!

Non-human characters are a whole new ball of wax, and in those cases. one can safely presume that the readers are going to be familiar enough with the fandom to know better. I'd not tag either Kes or a jem'hadar character as Minor1 because it's understood that the aging principle operates differently. But everyone has a different take on vampires and the like, with everything from Nosferatu to Twilight as the examples of how widely they can vary. So in those cases, unless the author is very clear from the get-go that this particular character is a vampire/immortal/undead, but has the appearance of a child, then it's safer to tag if the character is going to be involved in sexual activity. Clear as mud yet?

As one of the folks who gets to read all content for tagging, I'm always reluctant to add tags. We've been asked about tags for when the minor child is initiating the sexual content, and to our thinking, there is no difference in who initiates the contact. Sex with a person under 18 is still sex with a person under 18, and there is no law that I'm aware of that states anyone under 13 can give legal consent to anything, much less sex. Having said that, I think what we have works, and the author needs to be mindful of the readers when tagging. I've tagged for Rape even when it happens offstage and is only mentioned in passing, since I know it can profoundly disturb people to encounter even a mention of that. And this being AFF, there are people for whom a Minor1 or Minor2 tag is what they look for. We're not here to judge anyone's interests, but we do try to make sure no one is sandbagged with a nasty surprise.

It's quite possible. Me, I just have small moments of panic when I open a page here, and the font is so much smaller than it was the day before. Originals shrank on me! It's the only one currently displaying smaller for me on the Latest Stories page, since Movies returned to normal.

That's actually an interesting question, and to be honest, as a reader, I think I'm with CL on this one. I'm not at all fond of children in sexual situations, and prefer being forewarned. I can get past a Minor2, but Minor1 makes me exceedingly uncomfortable. However, the tags refer to actual chronological age, and not appearance, so if the character is actually 100+ years old, I could not, in all fairness, warn for a missing tag on the basis of appearance, as long as the character's chronological age was clearly stated. If I see the first three chapters showing an apparent child, with no reason for the reader to believe that the character is actually ancient, then I would ask for the tag to avoid having to deal with irate email reports.

I totally get not wanting to mess with readers, and maintain ease of access across platforms. The browser zoom it is, then, when I find myself squinting at the mysteriously shrinking front pages and review windows.

Any Kardashian. All of them, preferably.

Sadly, that function seems to have disappeared. It's still around in the Latest Stories pages, but increasing the font there doesn't carry over into the stories themselves. My old eyes miss it, too.

I'm always happy to help!

That's exactly what I mean. There's no problems from our standpoint if you post it in Games > Mortal Kombat, and just disclaim Mortal Kombat and the Cthulu Mythos. We just ask that it be posted in the primary fandom.

It would, I think, but that's not really an issue. If you just disclaim both fandoms, we're good. Where is the story set, primarily?

Glad it worked!

I have to agree with both Melrick and DG. I have my mother living with us, and I deal daily with her myriad health issues, doctors' appointments, medications, insurance issues, and the like. I also had the unfortunate experience of watching my father die of cancer, and it was compounded by his having moved 2,000 miles away for the last three years of his life. I got almost 8 weeks at the very end, and it still hurts to this day. Those we care for do appreciate what we do, and for all of us who care for a loved one, please know that we appreciate what you do.

I'd agree with DG here. Some publishers want ALL your online content taken down, so that people will buy your published work.

True enough! I'm not very nice to my characters lately. Hm.

Thank you, JD! Damn, you always manage to make me feel like I know what I'm doing (as opposed to my usual seat of the pants style of writing). I felt sort of bad for Derwen because he really didn't have much good sex at all in this, did he? First the punishment sex from Celyn, and then the punishment sex from the bitch Goddess. It'd be enough to turn me off the whole notion, but fortunately Derwen's made of sterner stuff. I loved the song, by the way. I need to listen to more of their music. It's a good sound.

Des is correct. Our Private Message system on the forum is only available to registered users of the forum, and there isn't any method to send private messages via the archive. As Des said, you can leave a review, or you can check to see if the author has a review reply thread here on the forum. Those threads are open to guests for posting once the author's created them, just as this thread is.
