This father's day we held a Wanking Festival. The competition was stiff but I won because nobody else came.
The events were very hands on. My mum said she would help me beat off the competition. She was very proud of the pearl necklace I gave her for helping me cum in first, second and even a third place.
Finis.
(Seriously though, that may be a fun story to write). A lot of hard practice a head.
Today, I am posting up chapter four. It may already be published by the time you read this.
Hands Full of Innocence refers to Brunna's big huge knockers that are swinging on her chest. She is seemingly oblivious to what they can do to a boy Jason's age.
I was informed by a Brazilian person that the traditional spelling is "Bruna". Apologies, but a little poetic license was taken and the mom chose a non traditional name.
I was also informed that Brazilian women are not very chesty. That's not been my experience - especially during the Carnival. I knew a Bruna just like her - big old tits and I remember her slowly eat a pickle and contemplating as she did - and thinking just how amazing that mental image was. I tried to paint that for you in chapter three.
Speaking of paint, I am branching out to NSFW AI images. I can't say that I will EXCLUSIVELY use it, but I have used it to illustrate the title and chapters 1-4. It was convincing enough that the mods blurred the title character's eyes. She isn't a real person though.
I hope you enjoy those additions to enhance the story.
The first four chapters really just establish who Jason is and that he is a horny teenager who thinks about boobs night and day stuck on a cramped RV with minimal privacy and the ability to catch glimpses of his cousin's hot body.
Chapter five is where the real story begins. It takes a new direction. I won't discourage you from reading 1-4 but you can skip it entirely if you want to get to the 'meat' of the story.
One through Four is more of a prologue that helps paint the canvas background and setting. I wanted a hot southern vacation in a cramped RV - something many people can relate to. It sleeps "six" but not comfortably, and they have eight people.
There are 15 chapters - so enjoy reliving a summer vacation told from a teenage boy's perspective. This is a departure from many of my much more wild stories. It's still sexual but far more tame.
As it is a Holiday, I dont have much time to post today.
I was thinking of a short story on what Mother's day might be like in a D/s House hold.
Any thoughts?
I would encourage you to posting a short story.
Lajeez calls voting "The Great Mistake" because of how divisive the concept was.
He used to allow authors agency to choose to enable or disable voting at any time. My preference was turn it on around the 7th chapter.
My theory was that if you read that far into the story you should have enough to base a preliminary vote on. One chapter is never enough and trolls are likely not to keep coming back and checking to see if you turned on voting so they can be be an edgelord/get their kicks downvoting.
In a previous blog, I asked if it would be worth it to turn off voting just to take that thrill away from them. By default now, it's always on and you can't turn it off yourself. I thought Lajeez could disable it for all of my stories if I requested it (that's not the case).
Most thoughtful readers who vote are going to read story codes, descriptions, and consider whether or not to invest their time in reading my story. I am fully okay with getting a low score if I deserved it from a reader.
I do not see the problem with that at all. I try to fix missing story codes or errors. It's like software - you can't catch all the bugs on release.
What I am specifically addressing her are the twit brigade of toxic edgelords who create multiple accounts specifically to harass and downvote authors that write story content that they do not enjoy. These are typically manbaby children that drive off authors and readers.
They have weaponized their votes to be able to harass authors and discourage them. They are like flies at a picnic - impossible to get rid of because if you swat one, two more show up. They provide no value.
I'd imagine that their lives are so pathetic, the only form of control/authority they have is the ability to down vote a story. I just wanted to explore if it was worth giving up voting entirely to deny them that tiny little bit of control.
One observation was the reader doesn't even bother with stories under a 7.0. That's unfortunate.
Someone else wrote "The best stories on this site are in the margins" and cited their favorite story was around a 7.0.
Another person pointed out only a tiny fraction of users bother to vote. Typically people who would probably tend to vote on one end of high or low because they had a strong opinion to even bother.
My conclusion: Scores really don't matter. You are seldom going to get an accurate picture of most stories quality from the voting. It's a subjective popularity contest.
Obviously, a beloved story with hundreds of votes in the 9+ range is very likely popular WITH THE PEOPLE WHO LIKE THAT GENRE, but for the most part - there is a vast sea of 5-7 score stories that are there for any number of myriad reasons and there is no way to reliably know how good they are from those scores. You could take 100 stories with precisely the same scores and number of votes and they'll vary widely in quality because it's subjective.
The key to me is reading the description - not the score. If that hooks me, and I give it a chapter or two then I'll know if I want to read it.
The number of readers is also a good indicator but not entirely reliable. My first chapters always have higher readership because of how offline downloaders pull stories off the site. It does not mean the later chapters are worse.
Vulgus is a great example as well. He writes some GREAT shit. I've seen him post a completed 15+ chapter story in the "new stories" that gets few reads because people do not know about it.
It's an indicator, but not a fool-proof one. I'd trust the number of reads over votes though.
Mike McGifford is another fantastic example. His writing is 10X better than mine. Whether I deserve it or not, I have over 800 followers on here.
His writing is objectively better. His stories are incredibly well thought out. Yet, number of readers, total votes and scores may not tell that story.
Btw - if you are looking for a story like the ones I write (but better) try this completed epic.

Back to voting;
Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you want to look at it, Lajeez informed me that the site no longer has the option to remove voting in any form or fashion.
My take away is to just let the trolls have a useless voting drop down button to play with.
They will never get to play with a real woman's clit, so they may as well get to mash that voting button to take out their edgelord rage against people who dare write a story with content/characters they do not enjoy.
I write to enjoy living vicariously through my character's eyes. I also write in the hope that maybe my stories will inspire someone to write similar ones and I'll get to enjoy them.
I generally score 6.5 - 7 on stories through voting, which is fair. I am not the best, and I am fine with that. I know there are a lot of 8,9, and 10s that got me that score because I have some regular hater/edgelord trolls that are going to flock to my stories as soon as they are posted and downvote them.
Any story that has a male who is submissive in any way, is definitely going to earn their ire. That usually only makes me want to make the character submit even harder btw.
I also like to get constructive feedback. I have often taken a suggestion from a reader and found a way to make use of it. I think that sort of collaborative participation gets my creative juices flowing.
Recently, I posted about the negative trolls on this site. I do not need to repeat that concern. You likely know what I am talking about. They contribute nothing and tend to spread negativity/chase off authors and other readers.
I turned off ALL commenting on my stories. I used to enjoy getting feedback in that format. It also meant other readers would respond to one another. I did that to take away one of the few tools that trolls have to be incel edgelords on this site.
Voting is by default always on, and cannot be turned off for individual stories. I read that Lajeez will allow you to turn them off for ALL stories. I am considering removing the final tool that the trolls have.
Their lives are pretty pathetic if that's the only tool they have to actually bother people. Taking it away would give me some satisfaction.
My question is - should I? What do I give up if I do?
