Hi all!
Well, the trolls have gone and done it again! AND this time to the whole of SOL! The Authors and the readers! Some German bitching and moaning about the age of consent! And there goes SOL and raise the age of characters to 18!
Well, I have consulted with my main editor as well as studied the two clarifications published in the SOL forum. I had a look at all my stories on SOL and they are within the specifications.
So those of you that did raise concerns, thanks for your emails, and you don’t need to worry – Jody Daniel is okay and here to stay!
I mean, sex with a minor is a no-no, and I have refrained from describing any such action. So far, the consensus is that you can say that a minor is having sex, but you are not allowed to describe such a scene. (Sorry for a well-known author on this site. He has to shorten his stories much. A lot of work for him. You all know who I mean as most of my readers are a fan of him, just like me. LOL.)
Do you guys know how much work it will be if I would have to rewrite all my stories? 1,218,158 words! Yes, that is how much I wrote in the last 4 years. Lucky, it would not be necessary!
Here is chapter 10 of Star of Assisi. Enjoy!
I wish you all the best! Until next week!
Bye 4 now!
PS: Just for kicks: The age of consent in a few selected countries:
Albania = 14.
Angola = 12.
Bangladesh = 14.
Burkina Faso = 13.
Cambodia = 15.
Comoros = 14.
Germany = 14.
Japan = 13.
Macedonia = 14.
Niger = 13.
Nigeria = 11.
Philippines = 12.
BUT, the age of consent DON'T make you an adult. Under 18 = Minor. BUT, although an adult, a 19-year-old is a TEENAGER!
AND the clincher:
Afghanistan, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Maldives, Oman, Pakistan. Palestine Gaza Strip, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. ALL these have only one age of consent and that is: THEY MUST BE MARRIED!
So, if a five-year-old is married – they can have sex!
LOLOLOLOL!!!!
