I'm not going to complain or do anything about it, but a few other writers say they are republishing some of my old stories because they contain underage characters. I officially don't know anything about that, since I would never, ever write anything that included a person under 18. I certainly wouldn't claim to have copyright on anything like that either, if anybody is concerned.
Legally speaking, I should say that I have never written anything containing a character younger than 18, I have never seen or talked to anyone under age 18, and I was never younger than 18 myself. I think humans younger than 18 are a myth, like the Loch Ness Monster or honest politicians.

But anyway...
Happy Holidays, take care, and please keep reading.
A writer friend sent me a tearful message because the first five votes her new story got were all '1'. I did what I could to calm and encourage her. Hopefully she won't give up on writing.

If you see a story with content you don't like, you may be tempted to 'One-Bomb' and give it a low score without even reading it. Giving bad scores won't make authors write different types of content. It does hurt their feelings and discourages them from writing ANYTHING.
-
I'm not going to switch from 'Smoking Fetish Incest' to 'Gay Alligator Gangbangs', no matter what you vote or how much you pay me. (Well, maybe if somebody pays me with truckloads of gold bars?)
-
If you only like lesbian werewolves or gay zombie incest, that doesn't mean it's fair or right for you to give every other type of story a '1'. Conversely, it would be wrong of me to ridicule you for what turns you on.
-
If you actually read a story and it's terrible, go ahead and give it a bad score. Maybe leave a comment saying the author needs an editor.
-
But please understand that voting a 1 just because a story contains a certain fetish only harms the literary community. If more people one-bomb, fewer writers will be willing to make their work available free online.
-
I don't insult or downvote the people who only like stroke stories without a plot, or slow straight M/F vanilla romances. I dislike those types of stories, but everyone should be free to enjoy their own special thing if nobody gets hurt.
-
Please be a decent human being and allow others the same freedom.
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the stuffing.

During hunting season I was proud to shoot a 22 pound turkey. Scared the crap out of the other shoppers, though.

Thanksgiving is a time to count your blessings, one by one, as each relative goes home.
What goes in hard but comes out soft and wet?
No, gum, you creep.

The German word for 'Bra' is 'Stoppemfrumfloppen'.

When I say my wife has a twin, people ask how I can tell them apart. I explain, "My wife paints her nails pink but her twin Bob has a beard and a dick."
Two men stole all the Viagra from a pharmacy. Now the police are on the lookout for two hardened criminals.

Why did the sperm cross the road? Because I put on the wrong sock this morning.

Do you remember blowing bubbles when you were young? I talked to Bubbles the other day and he asked how you were doing.
