    Upped to Mature

    The patron requested it, so Blue Wedding Belles is now rated Mature, and will proceed under that banner. Figured I should post an alert about that.

    So, do you like LitRPGs? Here's one set in the modern day as a catboy (there are reasons for that) discovers a whole new world of trouble, and a job.

So, about that fic... As it's aimed, it could get horribly graphic without betraying itself, or remain a constant tease forever.

So let's vote! http://goo.gl/wQC8sA

Go forth, vote! Comments below are also welcome, because I love hearing from you all.

I presume without betraying itself you mean "having graphic things happen for reasons that those graphic things are pleasant to read on their own" right?

To reword, it will just be making explicit the things that would not have detail (including things like Tabitha getting molested by a pheromone addled tenant... and presumably when she finally at arts putting her new body to use.) Correct?

This seems like the question that was poised to be asked since her new form was revealed.

I... it weirdly makes me nervous. I think because I know it means that romantic drama is going to actually start unfolding, which is only bad if/when pain is involved... but like I said before, these are the same things that would be happening even if they weren't explicit, right? So it's not like if there is destined pain that saying no to graphics would stop it...

4158578 It's a matter of if I describe what's going on. It happens either way. The pain you refer to would be emotional, I imagine? I don't think Tabitha is into anything that would cause physical pain. Getting stable relationships though, that can be painful.

We grow through that pain though.

the title of this article reminds me of

4158582
Yes.

And yes, the relationship pains is the pains I am worried about, but if they are constructive rather than destructive pains...

But neither of those things has much to do with whether or not things are described in detail or not.

4158593 I don't like people who refuse to change or grow. Tabitha's already shown she can do that. I think she's doing a good job of things so far, even with her imperfections.

4158602 She's definitely coping with adaptation, Ill give you that. Small note, anyone wanting to see voting results has to log in to that page to see them.

My preference would be that you keep it as a stand alone side story, in order to keep the audience for the main story as broad as possible.

I'm no prude. Personally, I have no trouble if you want to add more explicit detail into your story. I have no fear that it would be distracting from the overall narrative and may even fill a few... plotholes, should they appear.

Oh there is more than two choices. I was expecting a yes no question.

And... I think I voted twice due to not thinking it went through. Oops. Sorry.

4158642 It should lob out extra votes from one person, though you can pick more than one option.

4158646
Yeah. Can you tell who votes for multiple things?

I was gonna make speculations about how the numbers could make it hard to interpret, like if 15 people don't want any mature, but they're out voted in one of the categories by people voting for one mature option...

But you could conceivably vote for the two most extreme options, and just not want half measures, and then how easy would that be to gather from the votes?

Which I guess means the numbers might be hard to interpret even if you have them in the most discrete manner.

I sorta wish I could rate them from "most wanted" to least... but that is more data analysis necessary.

4158663 In this case, easy to see. One specific option is winning quite handily.

4158665
Let's hope it's the one I want. My desires to the forefront! :flutterrage:

... N-n-not that other people's desires don't, you know... matter. :fluttershysad:

4158670
Gotta love those write-ins. :twilightsmile:

4158691 I'm not sure exactly what 'more darkness' implies in this case.

4158691
4158695
The inspiration one amuses me... because if I'm guessing correctly, the inspiration is what's leading to this question, because David doesn't want to spring this on everyone.

We don't want anybody to feel upset and misled by the rating and the willingness to be explicit suddenly changing.

Edit: I guess thats not that amusing, in the end. :twilightsheepish: seems like just support for David no matter the decision.

I'm surprised it's not more divided, given how people can vote for more than one.

4158717 People seem united. They are quite alright with Tabitha doing what she wants on camera, tawdry or not.

4158724
They're all as curious as she might be about her new body.

Or maybe they're just all perverts.

4158695
At a guess I'd say that they're asking for grim-dark or drama llamas.

I'm quite happy with the balance of lighter story elements and heavier moments that you've worked into your story, personally.

as a avid follower of yours Mister David Silver for some time now and we have even spoken a few times (witch I enjoyed vary much). I voted to turn this story lose and let it go ware your must leads you.
I know how you right and this story is super good as is but at the same time I know what you are capable of so yes I say turn it up and lets see ware this all goes.
:heart: Harts Fire

Yay, evil is victorious! :pinkiehappy:

4158782 You are correct, we have voted for the path of Eville! :moustache: Come to the dark side, we have cookies. And cupcakes. I heard there was a super-fun changeling circus...

4159187
4158695 Implying dark magic or some more of Springs elven magic, maybe including some of her clan, and some dark plots by some outsider(s) not happy with how Tabs is doing so well. (yeah that was me:facehoof: I'll bring the cookies)

Ah, whoops! Missed this by mere hours! :pinkiesad2:
Oh well.

Personally, I think it's time that the training wheels have worn off. We're getting some hints of it with the latest chapter, and now that Tabitha is (mostly) well acclimated, it may be time to start laying out those paths...

Don't know if it's too late to influence the story, but I can only ask to write what ever is natural. Whether that be graphic in nature or remain, as you have put it a "tease forever," just do what feels right by the characters.
