I for one, don't understand why people take this fetish and ascribe it with very young characters. It's disgusting and it makes me wonder just who visits these boards and if law enforcement is noticing as a consequence. I'm not trying to be negative, but it IS disturbing to see and it SHOULD be a concern.

I would have to agree.  The only rationalization I could give for the authors who frequently use minors in explicit situations is that the authors may have been minors themselves at the time of writing some of these stories.  All the same, in the eyes of the law the content is still illegal.  I don't like that story sites could draw the unwanted attention.

I'm with Jimmy's camp in that I nor my characters use the lord's name in vain when I write, and swears are reserved for very special circumstances.

Mostly with anything else, I do my best to not censor myself as I go along. Censorship usually comes later when I try to tailor a piece of material for a specific audience.

As for the minors issue, particularly with the growth crowd, I think it's one of those things that has to do with extremes. For a growth fan, usually the more extreme the growth from beginning to end, the more tittilating it can be. However, that's still no excuse to use minors in a story for things that could get you in trouble. That's why in all of my stories, none of the growth related devices will work if the subject in question is under the age of eighteen. It's part joke and part failsafe so I don't get in hot water.

(Recently joined, so sorry for pardon me posting on an old topic.)

I'm glad I was directed to this place. The Writers section is the most active I have found as of late.

But to answer the question:
I never try and censor... what ever the characters want to do they will get to do. I do have issues with people linking my real name with my works. I work in a technical field and I'm sure if my fellow coworkers found out my subject matter they would 'be all over it'.

But I'm still struggling with an accurate definition of Porn vs Erotica. I am not happy with some of works of other 'fetish sites' feeling that these works have crossed the line.

But the sole reason why I enjoy writing is I like to explore and express my views on subject matters such as: Compassion, Desire, Loneliness, Vulnerability… and nothing can do that better than Sex and Violence… So I always try and stand by what I write even my ealier works as a BE writer.
