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!

Re: “Darla's Dad” Thanks! I wanted to make it clear that Darla's situation is effectively inescapable, and her mother's silent complicity is an important part of that. I also thought that showing Darla’s home life helped to explain why she was such an attractive target for Kyle and Jay in the first story: because she has been raised to be passive and not to fight back.

Re: "Darla" I'll be honest: Initially, I was surprised that you had read and reviewed "Darla" and "Darla's Dad," seeing as how they're probably my darkest stories. Then I remembered that you're the author of "Candy, Little Girl," and my surprise diminished. I tend to embrace the notion that today's bullies are tomorrow's criminals. I envisioned Kyle as a kid whose understanding of girls and of sexuality comes almost entirely from pornography seen on his neglectful father's computer. Jay, on the other hand, is a straight-up sociopath. I just imbued each of them with some of my own fetishes and let the story write itself. Thanks for the review! (And thanks for being this story's first reviewer.)

Yeah, the only example of Candace/Ferb affection I can recall seeing in all 4 seasons of the show is when Candace tousle's Ferb's hair in the finale musical number of "Summer Belongs to You." That issue will definitely be addressed in the final chapter. I'm too anal not to accept AYA as canon, even though it depressed me beyond all reason. Chalk it up to the randomness of the subconscious mind. Honestly, I never even thought about that. They both do so much talking during their sex scenes that there isn't much lip-availability for kissing. Obviously, with Ferb, that's much less of a problem. I figured it was as plausible as any of the other fetishes we've seen in the story. Given that this story is about revealing every character's most deeply hidden fantasy, I figured that Ferb's wouldn't be anything too predictable. Plus, I've got a big ol' impregnation fetish myself. I wanted there to be more to Ferb's fantasy than just knocking Linda up, and I liked the idea that he could see himself not just fathering their child but as the father of their child, if that makes sense. You've never been married, have you? Seriously, Lawrence has probably had at least the odd sexual fantasy about Vivian, and maybe she's had a few about him, too--if for no other reason than because each of them probably strikes the other as somewhat exotic. There's just one chapter left, and it's coming soon, so stay tuned. And thanks for the review!

While I’m not getting as wildly fanciful in this story as I did in my other P&F dream story, “Sweet Dreams,” I definitely wanted Phineas and Candace to take advantage of the freedom that the dream environment gives them. I also wanted to dig into the potential complexities of the neurotic Candace’s psyche. Exactly. And given that this story shows a lot of male domination and female submission, I thought there should be at least one scenario that showed the opposite. Physical affection among the members of the family is something that I always felt was lacking on the show. So I’m making up for that a bit here. Phineas ages himself because he wants to make Candace feel secure in the knowledge that he has all the power—and, thus, all the responsibility--in the situation. Exactly. There’s a kind of parallel here between this chapter and chapter 4: Phineas is going outside his comfort zone to give Candace what she needs, just as Ferb did for Linda. I appreciate the effort! We’ll get into that a bit more in the last chapter. That bit was meant to be an amusing aside, and also to show that Phineas’ mind contains the barest beginnings of his adult sexuality (even if it will be years before his attraction for Isabella manifests itself consciously). But I see where you’re coming from. Thanks for the review!

Given Candace's tendency freak out over everything, I figured that her guilt over her illicit desires would be paralyzing for her--even in terms of the fantasies she allows herself to have. So she created a "safe" fantasy in which she and Phineas do all the things she wants to do with him, but without her being responsible. Phineas never does anything halfway. Thanks! The unreality of the dream environment makes it easier for Candace to open up to Phineas (as it were), and vice versa. You will find out. And thanks for another great review.

Re: “Country Summer” One thing I've learned from my time on AdultFanFiction is that there are plenty of gals out there who like the M/M thing, and I figured Geraldine would, too. Also, their activity in this chapter is a hint that bisexual behavior is pretty normal among country folk in Geraldine's universe. They generally make an effort to be equitable with each other. Keeps the peace. You won't have long to wait!
