Dylan is supposed to represent the innocence we have as children, and I wanted to put that innocence through trials, such as what you read in the fic.

To have him maintain that sense of innocence is crucial to the story. Everything I put in the fic has a meaning, an emotion. Each character represents a certain emotion, virtue or sin.

David: Anger
Oak: Regret
Amber: Hope
Dylan's Mother: Kindness
Quick Stacks: Pride
One Shot: Lust

The family is the backbone of our entire society, and right now, it has osteoporosis. There are so many attacks against the traditional family and the values of sex and responsibilities that the rising generation is is trouble. Millions of children grow up without fathers, being raised to believe that men are worthless or that women should be sexually free, and you can change their gender or come out of the closet at age 8 or lower. Indoctrinating children with this is not only foolish, it’s

So, I managed to score a Switch Lite recently, and as I wait for it to arrive via UPS, I realize that I need to figure out how much cash I'm going to spend on it.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Chapter 24 was a prolonged fight with rewrite after rewrite. I had to retool the same 3K-ish word scene three times, toning it down each time since Fleur was getting a little too wild for my tastes. Spent a lot of time looking away from the words over the past two weeks to detach myself from them adequately to take a chainsaw to them as needed. There were a lot of words left on the floor afterwards.

Today is June 8th! I created this account exactly three years ago, making this my three year anniversary on Fimfiction.net. In my previous blog, I talked how I discovered, and subsequently joined the fandom, so this little story picks off from right there.

Friendship is the emotion that a person feels towards another for their virtues. Your feeling of friendship is part of an exchange of value with the other person. You admire the good qualities in each other. It makes you happy to be with a good friend, because they are so awesome in a certain way.

I'll have the Postscript out in a few hours, but for now, the (final) new part is coming to you in a matter of minutes! I'll never forget this experience and what all of you have done for me. Also, I'll probably never write a 250k+ word fic again. So there's that.

Black lives matter. - But mine matters more.

All lives will not matter until black lives matter. - I never said ALL lives mattered, so... uh, I don't care, I suppose.

I oppose racism. - Depends on whose being racist towards whom. If you insult my kind that's obviously bad, but if we insult you, then I don't have a problem with that.

I oppose sexism. - Yeah, men and women are equal, as long as they're real men and women.
