  1. I think Minor1 was the first one to fall for me, and I had tried so hard in the beginning to avoid it. I did come to realize that in the end, it’d have to come in anyways due to the nature of the universe that I’m creating and the realism I’m trying to embed within in. Kids will experiment with it, its not like they will avoid all sexual thoughts until they turn 18 or even 14, especially as it’s in our media all over the place. I had shifted the line to puberty, but even the current story I’m working (Jefferey) has challenged me there, and the line’s shifting, again, due to the setting (which, I had first avoided with a four-year time jump that I balked at when I started working the revision). I even know the scene that started to chip at the minor1/minor2 distinction in Alaska Trekkers, and I was trapped, because I needed the main characters at specific ages (as they couldn’t be too old), which meant the younger sister couldn’t really get older (biology). WS isn’t a squeamish one for me, so there’s really’s never been a line on that for me. I’ll try to make sure I don’t overdo it within a story, but I like how it can basically show a gain of confidence and trust in a relationship, to lose the inhibition and that sort. Nec was one that I had avoided too, though I finally decided to embrace it as a challenge for my last Halloween fic, in the process, MBP decided to tag along. Hard scat is definitely one I still try to avoid, it still squeaks me out. I will list it, though, as there are situations where I’ll describe my characters taking a dump and it can become a bit pervasive at times (all the reasons, whether its illness at a rather inconvenient time, or somebody’s scared, or to just plain embarrass my character – though I do have one who’ll do it as pranks). So for my stories, the [scat] tag is typically CYA. (However, that last halloween story challenged me a bit there, brought it closer to true scat.) Xeno is about the only one that can’t enter, simply due to the construct of the universe I’m writing. (ie, there are no plans for aliens) So, of the list, the one I seem to most actively avoid is …. SFW And, thanks for that vote of confidence @CloverReef.
  2. About a month ago, I had started playing a particular game, I had gotten really engrossed into it, some games are like that.  Did it distract me enough to not realize my cat needed help sooner?  I hope not, but I can’t divorce the thought.  I certainly can’t bring myself to play the game anytime soon, maybe never.   The upshot, though, is I am writing on Jefferey again, so maybe that’ll soothe me?

      @Avaloyuru  Don’t forget to hug your dogs. 

      In this case, the vet did mention that his teeth needed to be cleaned, so I knew that needed attention.  I even managed to get that scheduled for this Tuesday...but then I obviously had to cancel.

      Yep!  Hug them all the time!  They are all I have.  My dogs sleep with me at night and when I take naps.  They have medical conditions and the meds are costly, thankfully there are human meds that work just as good and cost half the price.

      I love it when it’s a human med.  My vet, actually with this one, at one point recommended that, go to the local store, get it OTC, and cut the pill in half.  But really, the only difference is probably quality and more stringent testing for the human stuff.

  3. Today really, really sucks.  Lost a cat today :(

      I’m going to try to focus a bit on writing, see if that helps at all.  I did visit a friend last night on the way home, simply because I knew I couldn’t hold it together.  That did help.  But then, get home, and, well, cat’s no longer here.  I generally don’t cry, rarely get emotional, but this time … it’s a very raw, very real wound

      btw, the next Jefferey episode might start off a bit dark….

      We have lost a brilliant mind, and a gentle soul.
