  1. I know some authors seem to like to dwell like the reader is bringing a ruler to every person the see? “Excuse me ma’am, Federal Boobie Inspector, please step this way for measurements.” ZZ-Cup? But unless the breasts are unusual, I typically don’t go out of my way to describe them, let the reader’s imagination (likely as perverted as yours) go to work with whatever they fancy. Generally, I prefer to stick to “larger” or “smaller” plus quality. Not everybody is “large”, should have modest/small ones around too (unless there’s a universal law requiring everybody to get breast-augmentation surgery or something). Also, large breasts need good support & can give back pain (as far as I know, not that gender). And, there’s more than size to consider, there’s firmness, sag, etc, again, if significant or another character is playing with them. For male characters, similar thing – circumcision or not is the first thing I’ll establish. Size, if unusual/important, might be mentioned. However, comparisons might happen more often, so you have two characters together and the difference is noticeable, then you might establish that one character’s todger is longer/thinner than the other. My $0.02 worth.
  2. Could be worse. Them: Can you write a Harry Potter/Game of Thrones crossover? Me: No. Them: Can you write a Harry Potter/Game of Thrones crossover? Me: No Them: Can you write a Harry Potter/Game of Thrones crossover? It’s like, can’t they read the first response?
  3. And your parents/family/friends who stumble across your story will also know that you liked them doing carnal fornication, with watersports and tentacles.
  4. Knowing people are reading is great, but also knowing they’re reading your perversions (and enjoying them) is definitely cringe-worthy too.
  5. Note to self, I can’t keep adding inches to this character’s todger every time he visits the hospital wing!

      I do like to stay semi-realistic with sizes, so no forty feet (unless there’s a potion/spell involved).  A few inches is average, and this particular character’s still growing, so he’ll be above average when done.

  6. I’m annoyed because it feels like the only thing visiting my “clean” version of my fanfic on FF.net are bots stealing it – I post, and a half dozen bots lift it inside a day or two; at least one a day after that.  Feeling like I should simply abandon the clean version, and only pursue the explicit version on AO3.  That’d make writing easier, but also jerks around anybody still reading the clean.

      Honestly, if I thought it would do any good, I’d say to file daily complaints with FFN. Is it being reposted elsewhere? Perhaps you can file complaints with those sites as well.

      A google search later, some of the ghost mirrors (mostly), thinking they’re redirects for … countries with more restrictive internet policies.  Plus a (small) blurb on one hacked website. 

      But the aggravating part is simply that it drowns out the real readership numbers, because all I now see in the stats is bot after bot after bot slurping up 700k, no humans (about 300k of new material + 400k of the old yet-to-be-revised).   Until now, I had been trying to maintain  “explicit” vs “clean” versions, carefully marking up my story as I rewrite it (only way, TBH), close to a 3:1 word ratio; but if few to nobody is enjoying the clean, if they’re all enjoying the explicit, then it makes sense to not bother with the clean version given the extra hassle it takes.
