So a bunch of people were having difficulty finding the first two stories in A Modern Day Mage; apparently there's an automatic filter that prevents you from even seeing work that contains underage sex. Fair.
While I won't apologize for the stories I wrote twenty years ago, I understand that people might not want to read that sort of material. Honestly, at the time I was writing The Touch and The Sight, I still felt it was a bit... risky. But the plot required a cocky, talented teenager driven by hormones and guided by a flexible morality at least partially shaped by his environment, and there's just no way he'd hold himself back. So... it is what it is. If I had to write the stories again, I likely would have chosen a slightly different setting to avoid the pitfalls of modern sensibilities. Sometimes stories just don't age well. I do think they still read well though, and I get it if you're lost reading the third installment. I have no intention of going back and editing the first two parts however; it would have to be a complete rewrite.
I will say I don't intend to have David engage in explicit underage sex in this part. It will still be happening, but it will be tastefully(?) off-screen, as it were. Hope that clears up the confusion.
I've got a bunch of partially finished stories. No idea if I'll ever finish them, but should I post what I have here? I don't write a lot, just when the mood hits me. I personally find partial stories a bit annoying, but it might be nice to at least have them read and critiqued. Thoughts?
