7028988 I really hope I wouldn't be forced to drop it either because the whole story has been outlined already. So I am really looking closely at the like-dislike bar.
It's great to see the inner workings in the mind of the foalophile, their internal struggle over wanting to love something everypony else says you shouldn't. Its a subject matter rarely used and you use it very well. I mean we feel for Caramel as he is stuck in such a position and it made me sad that his relationship with Brass had to be cut so short.
I really hope to see more of this story, but already I've liked, faved, tracked and added it to my bookcase of good foalfics.
Also I spotted you just joined the Foalcon group so I'll be the first to welcome you and I hope we can see more from you too.
I'm sorry for putting you back on the ground with this, but the story will most likely have a rather big dislikes>likes ratio, especially once it progresses and gets into the more delicate stuff. Not so much because it's Foalcon, but because it deals with it in a serious and realistic way and because it does more than hoofwaving it as a quick fap fetish. When the topics of children and sex come up in the same story, people ain't very smart, so many will probably treat this story like a propaganda story to advocate child-adult relationships. And this will be with downvotes and aggressiveness in the comments. But I'm not telling you this to intimidate you. I'm telling you this to encourage you to continue it anyway! I read what you said about being forced to stop writing it because of dislikes. With a story like this, you should never let yourself get influenced by the number of dislikes. In fact, one should never let himself get stopped to write a fic because of dislikes, no matter what it is about. But especially with this topic here and how you portray it, you should ignore the dislikes, because it's bound to get a lot. Don't let yourself get intimidated by this. If lots of people downvote it, then it's not because of the quality of the story, it's simply the topic that rubs them the wrong way and they hope they can scare you away from continuing it by giving it as much downvotes as they can.
7029387 I don't know how sensitive Siglo is about downvotes, but not all serious foalcon fics start off with overwhelming downvotes. Darf writes really serious foalcon, though it is aimed mostly at cloppers, and his are among the most popular clopfics on the site. I've written a foalcon thing aimed at a serious crowd, and it's been featured multiple times even though there's only a 1k out of 100k words of erotic material. When I introduced religion to mine, then the wave of downvotes made it no longer be featured.
I agree about not stopping, though, even if there are a high number of downvotes, unless the purpose of the story is to appeal to a high number of readers, but I don't know why anyone would write serious foalcon for that.
7029751 7029387 Thank you for the encouraging words, I have decided to continue this story despite the downvotes because this one type of story that needs to be told.
This story was made not to advocate adult-child relationships nor to serve as propaganda. This story was made to detail what it is like to be inherently mentally different in society, to have to hide one's true self in the face of societal pressures. I do believe that there needs to be a better and rational way to deal with this issue because the current system does nothing to solve the underlying problem.
So once again, thanks for the support, the next installment should come out within a week depending on my workload. If any of you have some added insights into the topic feel free to share it if you want, it could help with making the overall story better.
This is an interesting take on the subject that is mostly taken seriously, and address in a very bold manner I might add. Seeing that the main character part of a very vilified part oc society, and he can't keep out help without being treated like a monster. Seeing that a deeply sexually repress man, despite his best sincere effort not to give in, will eventually explode somewhere along the line. I have an issue about how the psychologist know that Caramel was a pedophile when if I am not sure was before he wasn't in puberty yet?
7030909 sorry, what I mean is how the psychologist know that Caramel was a pedophile in her interview, it he freely admitted that he was a juvenile porn mag?
This should be good.
Oh mi gosh!! This is awesome! You better not be one of those people who make something this good and then just suddenly drop it.
It was good.

Caramel was 15 when he saw the psychologist, so a few years after puberty. If I am reading your question correctly.
7030909 sorry, what I mean is how the psychologist know that Caramel was a pedophile in her interview, it he freely admitted that he was a juvenile porn mag?
7030925
He naively admitted to everything to the psychologist because he thought the psychologist would actually help him.
