What happened to the stories?
a year ago
Hi. Hello!
If you are reading this and wondering where are all my old stories.
Here's a list of explanations why I decided to delete them:
0: I'm not a native english speaker
This means that I'm always at a slight disadvantage when it comes to talking with international folk over the internet. I can't express my thoughts and myself as clearly as a native english speaker could be able to. In heated debate I wish I could always use my own rich language and not rely too much on a translator to explain my stance. in other words it means that my lack of proper english grammar skills and sentence structuring, I need to double check what I write or say before I write or say it. This makes the flow of the conversation turn against me when I need to process what I am listening and speaking at the same time. I don't consume english literacy daily and I'm not able to spot my mistakes unless someone else points them out for me. Which can be a burden to them as they need to fix my writing all the time.
That is why, this is the reason number 0 for the deletion. The stories were decade old and I've improved at my own writing skills. Also as I don't go to school anymore and mostly interact with non-english speaking people. They also lack the english language education as they don't need to speak it daily and can only form broken sentences.
1: The main reason:
Sad truth is that because of the new policy updates: "Oct 22, 2024 - Upload Policy 2.7 Revision and New Feature". I've decided to delete all the stories just to be safe as I believe there might be something that can offend someone at some point. It would be too effort and energy for me to argue with people my stance over stories I wrote when I was in school learning english. To me all the stories were something that popped in my head and I wanted to write them in paper. So I hope you understand my concern when I lack the social awareness of a country where I don't live at. FA as a site is very international and for me it has been a place to share ideas and art. My goal is not abuse the system and I follow the rules and policies as best I can. That is why I also need to explain this as there can be people in past who had read my stories and wondered where they've went. This is mainly meant for you who care.
2: The Real and the Fiction:
This is a thing that has struck me odd from the day I've spoken with other people that in some parts of the western continent difference between a fiction and reality is treated as same. This only happens when talking about kinks and fetishes and even if I can see a difference between an actor like Keanu Reeves and a character John Wick. It seems that some people see otherwise.
To them a pocket monster hatching an egg is a difficult subject to swallow and everyone stays away from it with a ten foot pole. Immortal beauty mixed with petite bodies in fiction is also a tough cookie for a lot of people. To me I only see them as fictional beings that someone came up with. I can understand that people can get repulsed by these subject matters and even bringing this here might sound odd but in my country fiction is treated fiction and real stuff is real. There's no 1000-year-old vampires living next to my house or there's no pocket monsters at my side. In my country real events and tragedies are real and I condemn those sick individuals who think that they have right to harm other regardless of the age. Any type of real harm is bad regardless what age they are.
If someone threatens someone in a movie, a book or a game. I hope everyone can understand that it's not real.
If someone threatens someone in real life. That's not okay and it should be reported.
3: The Kinks and Fetishes
Lastly I want to open about my own kinks. I love older men and I want to be near older guys. I am fine with people who are same age as me but older people are my kink.
I usually think the story as if I was the one who is being transformed and become the submissive one. I love transforming slowly and turn myself into situation where the kettle boils harder and harder. This can sometimes go to more regressive side as I am the one getting younger but even in those cases I want to keep my characters above 19-year-old.
Now for the second and the third kinks are "change of power dynamics" and "social status theft and swapping". There aren't any proper description for these, so I hope you can understand what they mean by how I've written them. Delving deep into them would take too much time, but at the same time I feel like that not describing them, might leave you with more questions than answers.
4: The Big Taboo
Because of the points 1-3. I feel like that what for me is normal and healthy might not be normal to you. That is why I feel a small dredge when my intention is to post a funny little story and it is taken as something else.
So as such I want to respect the site and not cause harm to me or any other who visits the site. Certains themes and subject can be taboo and seem too weird when first seen with fresh eyes.
That is why when I write my stories I have to think carefully what are the parts that I have to censor in order to publish it in online. I understand that some small percentage of people can't tell a difference between reality and fiction and that's why I can't always write the things that I really want to write. Sometimes those subject can go into a 'danger zone' territory where it's easy to point fingers and tell how bad person I am for writing something that I couldn't imagine doing. It would be terrifying thought if people could shame others based on imagination and dreams alone. If you think or dream wrong is it okay for people to call you out?
So these are the reasons why I had to delete all the stories. I hope it explains and maybe in the future I might publish them into a different site or rerelease them back here when rules are changes once more.
