Lessons Learned · 3:40pm Apr 30th, 2020
Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned a bit about where my strengths lie, and how far I should go with certain concepts. "Middle-of-the-road" is not the way to handle mental manipulation, at least not in a quick fic. Especially not when it takes a hard turn into darker territory at the last minute. Given that, I've added a bit to the story in question to lighten matters. We'll see if this works out for better or worse.
Your faithful non-student,
Implausible Deniability
Yeah, that's fair. Suffice to say, I've taken the criticism of Everfree Hospitality into account, and hopefully I've fixed matters. Or, at the very least, I haven't made them worse. Fingers crossed.
Yeah, pr0n is a funny thing.
Which is why I try to keep a lighter tone in my own work, with everything being explicitly consensual sexytimes between adults. Which makes me boring, possibly, but it's the principle of the thing! I mean, kink-ing responsibly is an important thing. Which, on the one hand, the whole point of fiction is that it's fictional, and therefore can go places you absolutely cannot/should not IRL. On the other, well ... it's also a problem when someone's entire view of sexy kinky funtimes comes from that kind of fiction. See: folks whose only source of info on BDSM is those Fifty Shades of Grey novels, and so on.
I may be thinking too hard about this.
Still! Nice save there at the end. ;)
Honestly, you might consider giving the whole story a re-write with that kind of structure in mind. Which, uh, may be a bit much to ask for something that's just supposed to be a one-off kinkfic, but still. Or maybe a sequel/aftermath sort of thing where everyone's like 'Welp, guess this is a nudist resort now!' or something silly like that. Not terribly original-- but still a good excuse for butts.
