Someone recently sent me a message to let me know that she loved one of my stories — "His Friend's Mother." The story is so old that I didn't recognize the title so I read it. I didn't even remember it while reading it. But what I did notice was how poorly the story was written.
I don't go back and edit old stories, but this one had so many glaring errors that I felt compelled to. There were formatting errors, punctuation errors, even missing words. And the worst one was that it started by saying the mother's son's best friend was older than him. Yet the son was 14 and the friend only 12 throughout the story. Oops. A 12-year-old having sex is no longer allowed on SOL, but this old story was grandfathered. However, when I revised the story I changed the boy's age to 14. I also noticed the "rape" tag was missing. "Non-consent" and "blackmail" were included, but not "rape." At the time, I probably felt the mother would have done it anyway because of the blackmail, but the scene gets rather physical at one point so it needs the "rape" tag.
Anyway, all 11 chapters of "His Friend's Mother" have been revised and re-posted — https://storiesonline.net/s/57809/his-friends-mother
