Where Did My TLK/TLG Stories Go?
2 years ago
I’ve had this post on the backburner for a few months now. So, here’s the gist:
Occasionally, I get people asking me what happened to my Lion King and specifically my Lion Guard stories. As those were a big part of my early work, it’s a valid question, but one I have been hesitant to answer. But I decided I want to be up-front with y’all about those things, so I set out to write this. Thus, here I am.
Basically, when I first started doing commissions, I considered it as me writing fanfiction for other people. Fanfiction is known for embracing extremely taboo subjects without much issue, so I didn’t see a problem at the time with writing underage characters in vore. That was my perspective at the time, and I’m very much not proud of that (to say the least), but that is just what it was.
As my writing career grew, my perspective on it changed from, “I’m getting paid to write fanfic, how fun!” to, “I’m getting paid to fulfil people’s adult fantasies, and I need to take this more seriously.” With that change in my viewpoint, along with some further self-reflection, came with my new conclusion on underage characters in vore, or in any other adult media for that matter: they should not be involved in such scenarios whatsoever. So I took down all of my stories that had underage characters in them, which included Lion King & Lion Guard tales.
I still have the same perspective today on underage characters in my stories. Part of my commission “Won’t”s is, “Any characters under 18,” and I refuse to write stories that have underage characters in them. It’s something I take a very strong stance on these days, which I’m sure is understandable.
Nothing in particular caused me to write this post; I just wanted to talk about this, since I haven’t really discussed it publicly. I have been hesitant to bring it up because I’m embarrassed that I used to write stories like that, but like I said at the start of the post, I want to be honest with y’all about these things.
Thanks for reading.
