I'm interested in all kinds, except gore.

Wow, ain't we a talkative bunch here.

Well, for me, I'm always glad to see kink, so long as it's not showing anything morally dubious. I mean, so much erotica in the media is vanilla and when you see any attempt at kink, everyone goes a little bit nuts. Have you seen how TV show hosts react to the 50 Shades movie (or even the original books)? It's ridiculous. It's great to see kink written by somebody who is more interested in the kink itself and what they want out of it than to see people writing kink just to look edgy.

As far as blood and gore go, they're not fetishes of mine but I'm okay with reading them. I have a dark side and rather Saw, Vile, etc. so blood and gore stories fit in with that pretty well. I'll add in here that I feel the same way about body mutilation.

I don't have any affinity for snuff - I've never read or watched any but then, I wonder whether it is often a representation of non-consensual action. If it were to involve someone who wanted to die then perhaps that'd be interesting, although I immediately wonder whether the intended victim is of sound state of mind, so that might be an issue to me. I wouldn't enjoy reading of somebody being taken advantage of, especially not in this most extreme of ways.

Extreme cub (or indeed cub at all)... That makes me feel deeply uncomfortable, and I wouldn't examine a piece of art I knew to involve it.

Scat... I don't have a taste for this, so I wouldn't read works involving it, but I've no moral objection to it. Personally I find it a turn-off and would want ample warning that that was what a piece of art included, but ultimately the worst that can happen is to see something a bit squicky, so ultimately it's not a problem to me.

I hope this is helpful to you.

I'm glad you voiced your opinions so well on this. That first paragraph you wrote is even more comforting to me; I agree that it's better to explore what you like in a safe environment and explore the kinks you want out of a love or fascination with them instead of just to be controversial.

For me, I rarely write anything truly outrageous without there being a good reason behind it; I've only really wrote one story that was truly NC, and that was because the plot behind it was requiring an exploration on how it damages the psyche and what it does to mess up with the character (further chapters to that story, while less outrageous and much more consensual, still explored the ramifications of the NC sex on the character). the rest was as consensual as I could make it.

I guess my main concern is what I was beaten over the head with as a kid; my dad was heavily into porn and making his own videos, and he wound up committing a sex crime himself. After that, my mom and stepdad kept on affiliating porn with sexual criminality, and tried their best to keep me from going down that path; they tried (unsuccessfully) to get me arrested for furry porn, they convinced the probation board to put a restriction on me going online to keep me from getting porn, even though the reason I was before them had nothing to do with porn or sex, and they got my therapist to put me through a pethysmograph (sexual "lie detector" test to measure what you get off to) and tried to put me in sex offender class. So, I've always had to hide these kinks from people, and explore them on my own, because of that. To hear such encouragement from others about it, now... it really throws me for a loop and makes me more self-conscious. It's stupid, I know, but that's how it is.

I really do appreciate you guys' advice and suggestions on this; knowing that, even though you likely don't like the same things I do, you still support me in this is really good. Thanks to all of you, sincerely.

Your stance on cub stuff, while understandable, makes me wonder if I should stop with the Rotor story as-is, because depending on where I take it, I may delve into some cub stuff in regards to like Tails getting involved, or exploring Rotor having a family after his sex change or something like that, and I don't want to disturb you with it, if you're not keen on it.

Thank you. I wouldn't want Velvet to appear in a story with cub stuff.

I don't think she will, and even if she does, it'll be in a cameo role without any interaction with any cub stuff. I know better than to defile characters like that without the originator's permission.

Perhaps I should be clearer: please don't use her at all in any stories involving cub content, even in a cameo.

I see. That's fair; don't want her to be associated with anything like that. As I said, I'm not sure if I even want to go that route with my Rotor stories, associated with yours, but I doubt I will; I want to make sure I have a good rep with you on this.

Thanks again. Good luck with your stories and I'll keep my eye open for more!

Thanks, though I'm not sure if I'm going to continue. The fact that I even entertained the idea, when you weren't into it, made me realize just how little restraint I have on these things; the original reason for this journal was because I had gotten permission to make a story based on a few Biker Mice pics from Borni, and while I didn't intend for it to be so at all, the next thing I knew after putting finger to keyboard, I was writing far more crazy-extreme fetishes for them than I meant to. I don't want to make the same mistake with your characters and your work.

The only issue I have is that I don't like non-consensual stuff. Cubs are unable to provide informed consent. It's not so much about disgust, it's about not wanting to be associated with cub work.

That's not the issue; I respect your refusal to be associated with cub stuff, and would at any time try to uphold that respect. The issue I have is that, as I said, I don't seem to have much restraint when it comes to what I write; a lot of the time, I set down to write something very specific, and I get so caught up in the moment that my mind rambles and takes the story in a totally different direction, usually in a direction that's more extreme and more crazy than I intended. I don't want to do that with your characters and your work, hence why I'm thinking of stopping the Rotor story; it's not that I'm disappointed that you won't let me go that way with your characters, I'm just too afraid that I won't be able to catch myself before I do go that way with your characters.

Ah, I understand.

Well, the choice is yours.

My apologies for suggesting I would ever put her in anything like that. I really don't mean to irritate or disgust you with that. I think I'm going to stop with continuing the story, right now, to be on the safe side, if that's alright...

"For me, I rarely write anything truly outrageous without there being a good reason behind it; I've only really wrote one story that was truly NC, and that was because the plot behind it was requiring an exploration on how it damages the psyche and what it does to mess up with the character (further chapters to that story, while less outrageous and much more consensual, still explored the ramifications of the NC sex on the character). the rest was as consensual as I could make it. " See, I'm okay with that, funnily enough. It's the stories that have a character be raped and then fall in love with their attacker (and for it *not* to be a clear commentary on Stockholm Syndrome) that I take issue with.

"they got my therapist to put me through a pethysmograph (sexual "lie detector" test to measure what you get off to)" That sounds odd. How old were you at the time? I'm surprised a therapist would agree to this.

I was close to being of drinking age at the time, around 17-18. I dunno how they convinced the therapist to do it, either, but she was just as nuts as they were. I guess I was just told for so long that I'd turn into a monster if I continued like I was, and it got to the point where it looked like I was, but now I'm ratcheting it back and I'm opening myself up to more people about it, and now that they're encouraging me to continue, it feels... confusing.
