Re: “Activation Day” Before I respond to the reviews this story received today, I just want to say how exciting and entirely unexpected these comments were. "Activation Day" is my half of a story trade with a friend, so it was written for an audience of one, to suit his very specific interests. I had no idea that it would appeal to so many other people. Now, to the reviews: It really feels good to hear that someone enjoyed my story even though it’s outside the genres they usually prefer. Thank you! I’ve got all kinds of stories in the works, so stay tuned. My bad—I didn’t mean to provide so little detail about that. Essentially, the sun began continuously putting out more radiation than it does now (if I correctly understood my astronomy professor back in college, this is at least theoretically possible), destroying the ozone layer and doing all the other bad stuff that charged particles do. Spurred by your comment, I have added a few words to chapter 1 to make this point clearer. So I appreciate your feedback. Thank you! It’s funny—a lot of the plot and scifi aspects of this story evolved from the specific fetishes my friend wanted the story to include (eg, prepubescent girls who nonetheless had substantial breasts, socially acceptable romantic relationships between these girls and adult men). I wanted to make those things happen in a way that readers would find plausible, and that’s where all the details about cryo and preconditioning and Executive Function scores came from. You’re very welcome! I did indeed enjoy writing it, and I’m glad that the emotion I put into it came out the way it was meant to. Thank you. Thanks! Indeed, I’m not thinking of doing more with these characters right now, but that could always change. I’ve got all kinds of other stories in the works, though, so I hope you’ll keep an eye out for them.

I'm so glad. I don't remember exactly how the idea for this conversation came to me, but it was what made me decide to include Telephone Interludes in the story to provide some comic relief between the heavy action and drama of the chapters. In any case, thank you!

Re: "Activation Day" Hey, gotta keep you guys coming back. Not for long; I'll probably post it tonight.

No, it's not, and I kind of meant to imply that Candace realizes that. For one thing, she's in no position to judge (given her behavior in the story), and for another, I'd like to think that this experience is making her realize how pointless and narrow-minded such judgement is. Arguably relevant story: One of the other sites where I post stories is Inkbunny, which has a feature that lets other users (besides the OP) suggest tags for stories and artwork. One of the stories I have posted there is "Learning a Daughter's Duty," which includes a female character who really enjoys sex, both with her husband and with various other male and female family members. (There is no incest taboo in their world.) When someone suggested the "slut" tag for the story, I found it surprisingly upsetting. I was all like, "She does what makes her happy, and in doing so, she makes other people happy, too. Why does there have to be name-calling?"

I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Depending on what you mean by "like this," you might enjoy some of my existing stories. If you are interested in something viciously rapey, you might like "Unbidden" or "Cruel Nature." If you are interested in bestiality (albeit consensual), there's "Some Days, You Get the Bear." In any case, thanks for the review!

Re: Some Girl Thanks! I am, in fact, planning a sequel story that would take place on Fourth of July weekend and would involve Carl and Robin meeting up with some cousins they haven't seen in a few years. Wholesome family fun ensues. Re: Caitlyn's Punishment Yeah, that's the whole enchilada. But I'm sure this isn't the last story of this type that I'll be writing.

Thank you! The story ends where it does because I knew that the contest-winner for whom I wrote it would want an ambiguous ending.

Re: A Very Special Thank You Thanks! I found this story hard to write because it is dialogue-intensive, and whereas I can write sex and fight scenes all day long, dinner conversation is tough. It is also the first futa story I've ever written, and that added to the challenge (both of explaining the character's futa-ness and figuring out how it would affect her personality). I don't have any thoughts in mind for a sequel, but one never knows, do one?

Re: Activation Day Thanks! I wasn't sure about whether opening with two character deaths was a good idea, but it seemed to me like an effective way to convey the gravity of the situation and the very real risks that the remaining characters face. As for hot lemons--oh, yeah, it's teatime. Re: Activation Day Thanks! I'm planning to write three more.

Re: A Beach Like No Other Glad you liked the story. It's finished, though.

I'm just trying to escalate the action at a pace that seems realistic for the characters. As for recordings...well, that's between Stacy, her conscience, and her webcam.

First of all, thanks for all the comments! Is there an emoticon for blushing? I figured it was plausible, at least. . Well, you now know what strategy they're using with Linda. We'll see how long it will work... I'll be up front about this: Suzy does not figure into the story in any important way. I felt that I had "been there, done that" with "Little Blonde Monster," so I'm sort of willfully ignoring the potential for Suzy to interfere. People sometimes complain that I take too long to get to the sex in my stories, but by and large, that's because I'm trying to make the characters behave in a way that I feel is true to them. Exactly. And now that things are starting to get steamier, she definitely wouldn't expose her little brothers to that. Thanks! I wanted a little break from the action so that there could be both some comedy relief and an opportunity for Stacy to deal with her issues. Yup! That's a valid point. I'm still not planning to involve Suzy in the plot, but maybe I'll find a reason why she's not trying to put squirrels in both Candace's and Stacy's pants. Thanks again!

Thank you! The emotional underpinnings of this relationship are definitely an important aspect of the story. But remember that these are teenagers who aren't necessarily great at confronting or expressing their feelings, so it may take time for their emotions to come to the fore. Hey, this is a highly experimental relationship these characters are in--a few rockets are going to blow up on the launch pad before one makes it into orbit. But don't you worry. Thanks! I consider this high praise, because to my way of thinking, the best fanfics are those that are completely faithful to the characters but explore them further by putting them in new situations.

First, let me say how excited I am by the amount of attention that this story has gotten so far. And I'm please to tell you that there is quite a bit more to come. Yes, writing them in public poses similar risks. I feel like a cartoon fanfic ought to involve some cartoon logic. And thank you!

Believe me, she's as surprised as you are. And she's not at all sure that this initial success isn't the prelude to an epic crash and burn. More on that in later chapters. Flaubert wrote that anticipation is the purest form of pleasure. And he had all kinds of venereal diseases, so he must have known what he was talking about. You won't have to wait long; chapter 3 is nearly done.

And the magic word would be...?

Yes, the first chapter is a bit short; the more "action"-oriented chapters will be considerably longer. Totally agree about Stacy. That girl deserves some serious love, and she's going to get plenty in this story. Thanks for being the first to review!

This is where I'll respond to any reviews of my Phineas and Ferb story, "Tri-Date Area."

Re: "Unbidden" Thank you! I'm really proud of this story.

Re: "A Very Special Thank You" First off. my apologies for responding so slowly to your review. Email burial and all that. Thank you! Ah. The idea for this one came from a friend called Eh Steve, who won a raffle I put on for my watchers on Hentai Foundry. I had never written a futa story before, and I liked having the opportunity to try something new. I'm also glad that this piece came out as well as it did.

Thank you! Although I would argue that "plausible" is a bit of a relative term when you're dealing with P&F. Initially, she gave Phineas control because she didn't want to make him do something that he wouldn't have wanted to do in his heart of hearts. Only later did she discover that she enjoys being tied up and dominated. Yeah, it bugged me to find out that she never got up the nerve to act on her feelings...and that later, Phineas had the same issue. I suppose they could have thought that Phineas was deliberately ignoring the signs of Isabella's interest rather than confronting her about them (for fear of ruining their friendship), but the fact that none of them brought up the subject even in their teenage years just doesn't make sense to me. I could kind of see it. Phineas has always taken the lead when it comes to his and Ferb's daily projects; only rarely would he solicit ideas from his brother. Thanks. See my response to the previous review (above) for details about my next P&F-related effort.

I ain't no squealer! I don't have any immediate plans for more Phineas/Isabella stories. Next up is "Tri-Date Area," which is about Candace, Jeremy, and Stacy deciding to have a three-way relationship.

This one is kind of embarrassing: Years ago, I wrote a trilogy of short fanfics about Wilykit and Wilykat from ThunderCats. And somehow, in switching from one computer to another, I lost the MIDDLE story. I've never found it again; I think the only place I posted it was on a ThunderCats-themed Yahoo group that is now defunct.

If you're writing a fanfic, then it's easy: You can just use an established character as the basis for comparison. ("Phineas looked up at the teenager, who was almost a head taller than he," "Her breasts seemed enormous, more than twice the size of Vanessa's"). More generally speaking, throwing numbers at readers is probably less effective than describing the character's appearance as others might perceive it. ("She looked like an Olympic volleyball player--six feet tall, willowy, and deeply tanned." "The man's short, wide physique reminded Matt of an airlock door.") IMO, adding these subjective details makes the character's appearance more memorable for readers.

Re: "F**k Perfect" Thanks very much. Unlike a lot of my other stories, I tried to make this one as realistic as I could manage without making it boring. And thanks for all the reviews!
