Definitions seem to vary. I’ve seen “shota” used to refer to anything involving sexual activity with young boys, which is further classified as “straight shota” or “gay shota. I’ve also seen “loli” used to distinguish drawn or otherwise fictional young girls from real ones.

I’ve never understood why the shota and loli tags are restricted to anime. Shouldn’t they apply to any underage character, not just underage anime characters?

Wait, so it’s starve a troll, feed a fever? I always get that mixed up. But yes, agree with everyone that the best response usually is no response.

Re: “Comfort and Joy” It just seemed like the right way to end the trilogy: their parents had sex when they were very young, Carl and his sibs did the same, and now their kids are doing it. I think they would, but “off screen.” Given that there was no inter-generational sex in the whole trilogy, I thought it would be weird to introduce it in the final chapter. I have a father/teen daughter series going that begins with “Wild Side,” continues with “Everything She Needs,” and will conclude with the in-progress “Make It All Better.” Also, there’s a good bit of father/daughter sex in my plot-heavy scifi-fantasy stories “Activation Day” (completed) and “Eddie Forever” (well underway). Finally, I’ve got a father/young daughter story called “Little Rose” in the works, but I’m not sure when the first chapter of that will be ready for posting. Thanks for the review!

Re: “Caitlyn’s Punishment” Glad you enjoyed it. If you like that sort of thing, keep an eye out for my upcoming story, “Curfew.”

I have Word on my laptop, but I still use Google Docs because of the ability to look at the same documents on my computer and my phone. (This is handy when inspiration strikes while I’m on the train or in line at the grocery store.) And there’s a little icon that shows whether a document has been shared with someone else.

I’m afraid I’m not going to be able to participate. I’m still trying to finish up a (non-one-shot) Christmas story that I started LAST Christmas. Looking forward to your stories, though!

Two comments: --Every source I’ve looked at says that “futanari” is the Japanese word for hermaphrodism. (I had to write a futa story for a contest winner a while back, so I looked into it.) So presumably, “futa” and “hermaphrodite” are synonyms. --Does “Warm And Fuzzy Feelings” have some sort of special meaning in the context of fic writing?

What if you’re just going from, say, chapter 4 to chapter 5? Does that count as a separate dragon print?

Re: “Daddy’s Rules” Thank you! As I always say, there’s no praise more sincere than an involuntary physiological response. If you’re looking for something longer that’s in a somewhat similar vein, you might check out “Cruel Nature,” “Unbidden,” “Wish List,” or “Darla” and “Darla’s Dad.” Thanks for the review!

Re: “Caitlyn’s Punishment” I don’t currently have plans to continue this one, but I have another one in the planning phase that is in a similar vein (working title: “Curfew”).

Thanks! I like Phinbella a lot, myself; I think I have a thing about making unrequited love, you know, requited. It was for that reason that I found AYA heartbreaking: We learn that Isabella NEVER got up the nerve to express her feelings to Phineas and just kept pining for him until she eventually gave up. I was angry that Isabella ended up being too weak to go after what she wanted, instead letting herself pine silently for Phineas for years, and I was sad that her feelings remained unrequited until long after she got over them. And, of course, I was annoyed that every Phinbella story I ever wrote had been suddenly rendered incompatible with canon. Exactly. I feel that for a man, a woman wanting to have his baby is both a tremendous gift and the highest compliment. LOL. I was just making the point that being married does not blind a man to the attractiveness of women other than his wife. (Thankfully, my wife acknowledges this and is okay with it. She even gave me a coupon for a strip club once.) The denial thing was really meant to be a sort of real-world rationalization for Phineas’ seeming obliviousness to Candace’s behavior on the show. I don’t doubt that in the minds of the show’s writers, Phineas is just as oblivious as he seems. But because this story is about what goes on below our conscious awareness, I thought it would be interesting to explore the idea that there is more to Phineas’ naivete than that. Exactly. The underlying cause of Candace’s urge to bust her brothers is something I’ve played with in a few different fics, because it just seems too intense to be mere envy. Maybe he’ll just be glad to have some idea of what he’s doing. Plus, I really didn’t want to write a scene that involves Doof being naked. Seeing him in his underwear on the show was bad enough. Right. I think that's a reflection of the way I wrote the characters, which in turn was a reflection of the extent to which I felt like I understood the characters. Phineas and Candace are both pretty up front with their emotions, so in writing them, I felt like I had a solid place to start before I began delving into their subconscious minds. On the other hand, we don't know much about Linda's inner life, and Ferb is a cypher, so in writing about their subconscious minds, I felt as though I were starting almost from scratch: I had to create some understanding of what their conscious thinking is like, which left less opportunity to explore their subconscious thinking in depth. I'd like to think so. Now that the show is off the air, we're free to imagine quite a bit. Thanks! At present, I have no plans for a sequel, but if the right idea comes to me, it could happen. Right now, though, I've got a rather different P&F fic in the works, titled “Hot Yoga.” It features all B-list characters (the only one who is arguably an A-lister is Stacy) and deals with Jenny's attempt to teach a yoga class -- which, thanks to some incense that Jenny “borrows” from her parents to help her students relax, turns into a full-blown orgy. So it’s much less deep than “Dark Dreams, Forbidden Fantasies”; in fact, after the setup, it will pretty much be nonstop porn. Hope you’ll tune in. Thanks for all the reviews!

I was thinking about this subject the other day when I was watching the trailer for Moana and learned that the concept of “mana”—which I’ve been using in my story “Eddie Forever” as a word for magical energy—comes from Polynesia. Is that cultural appropriation? I’m sure I’m not using the word in precisely the way that its coiners intended; I'm simply using it to refer to magical energy because I’ve seen others use it that way. So is that not cultural appropriation, because the word has taken on a meaning and identity separate from its origin? Or does that make it the worst kind of cultural appropriation, because it popularizes a distortion of the word’s original meaning? I’m gonna be honest: I don’t really care all that much. Because I imagine that for every ancient Polynesian who would be upset about the modern world’s misuse of a sacred concept, there would probably be another who liked the idea that the word lives on around the globe today.

I agree. Sometimes, if a tag doesn’t quite apply but the content is sort of in that direction, I’ll put a disclaimer at the beginning instead of using the tag. For example, at the start of my Inside Out story “That Gleam in Her Eye”—in which a demented Joy intimidates the other emotions into having sex with each other—I put this at the beginning: “Warning: Although there is nothing in this story that strictly meets the definition of rape, some of the emotions are pressured into performing sexual acts in ways that may make some readers uncomfortable.” I figure you can’t go wrong with that.

Tcr: It takes time for your work to find an audience, especially when you write original stories. (I write both original stories and fanfics, and the fanfics probably get four times as many reviews, because the fandoms come with a built-in audience.) You’ve been at it for, what, 7 months? That’s too soon to give up. DP: I suspect that your problem getting reviews has something to do with the fact that most or all of your stories are related. Some people may look at the set and not be sure where to start. Or they may read one and decide that it’s not their thing, which takes all of the related stories off the table. Thus, it would probably make sense to think of your related stories as one story in terms of how many reviews they get.

I figure that in the Loud House, nothing is more meaningful than silence. Lucy's pheromone-induced horniness synergized with her existing need for intimacy. So Lucy is totally glad they did it, too. I choose to leave it a mystery whether she wears them all the time or whether she wore them specifically for Lincoln. Lincoln needs intimacy, too. I loved writing that scene. I had a lot of fun with the idea of Lana just going completely bonkers during anal sex. Lola is precocious, and she's got a talent for getting what she wants. For her, sex is just one more tool to put in the bag. And yes, that is a bit sad. I'm not familiar with that character. Is she vain? On her, in her… Thanks for another terrific review!

They both knew that none of it was real. It was more like a glimpse of a road not taken. Exactly. It was really all about the symbolism of the act, not physiological reality. Apparently, I do not. I have changed “vulva” to “canal.” I knew that some people would be disappointed by the characters’ not continuing their incestuous sexual adventures in waking life. But this story is really about the wonder of having even one chance to fulfill one's fantasies, and I think the characters all consider it a gift, not a tease. I'd like to think so. That was all you, my friend. You live in a Gothic mansion? Thanks for all the reviews!

Because Lincoln's liaisons with the first five sisters all go kind of the way you'd expect, with Lincoln using what he knows about each sister to help her get off, I decided that I wanted his encounter with Lucy to be a little less predictable -- but (IMO) still plausible. So instead of their playing vampires or whatever, I decided to go heavier and show some intimacy and romance between them. Side note: With this review -- the 27th that this story has garnered -- “Whoops” is now my most-reviewed story of all time. (The previous record holder is my Phineas and Ferb story “Tri-Date Area,” which currently has 26 reviews.) So thanks to all of you who have been kind enough to review this story!

Re: “Country Summer” I wanted to focus on what Geraldine was thinking and feeling, so I didn't want to include any dialogue that might distract from that. Mike's good like that. I think she'll be happy to accommodate them, too. You're most welcome! Thanks for the review.

Glad you enjoyed the story. I’m not planning a sequel right now, but one never knows...

Then you’ll be pleased to know that I’ve just posted a new chapter. Thanks for the comment!
