I want a copy too!

A big YAY! to everyone, and especially Imp who pulled it all together!


Yay!

stoopid me.

 

[impressive]

any thoughts?

I would prefer you didn't pull the illustration but will respect your decision. We all must follow our own hearts, and there is nothing worse than that shitty feeling we get when we don't.

However, you get a MAJOR bitch slap for waiting 'til NOW to speak your mind!

Rhino, I completely understand and empathise. Yes, you should have spoken up sooner, but as you said, you hadn't actually resolved what was on your mind, until now. At the end of the day, it is your perogative to pull your illustrations. You lay yourself open as much as us authors do, perhaps moreso in some ways, and you should go with your own conscience.

It's weird, because my own internal "moral code" doesn't like incest, either (I've never even read one incest story), but I love "rape" fantasies. Slightly hypocritical? Twisted? Probably. But, I've yet to find someone who can rationalise their own sexual urges, desires, likes, dislikes and no-go areas.

I know it wasn't my story, and I wasn't the one who put all the work into the publication, but I, for one, respect your decision.

Thank you.
Causing some self assessment.
I HAVE read Incest..and even like some! Very odd.

Same here. I've even written some. But Yui's is of a far higher quality than mine. I've never felt like writing about something constitutes an endorsement, even if the characters don't suffer some 19th century type hell and damnation fate. Still, I agree with Tatelou, do what feels right.

Thank you.

The incest on Lit. tends to be not very realistic, in my opinion. I have the impression that real incest mainly involves an older male raping a young female relative or taking advantage of her vulnerability. This is actually a sordid story and would not be allowed on Lit. because of her youth. When the characters are consenting adults, most of the sting is taken out of the story.

I have written four stories in the Incest/Taboo category, one with brother and sister and two with nieces by marriage. In all of them the females were the initiaters. The other is more realistic, when a widower insists his stepdaughter have sex with him on her 18th birthday or be kicked out of the house. She gives in and ends up enjoying it very much and becoming the man's SO, which is not very realistic but is more fun to read or write about.

I'm pretty sure I don't endorse even the stuff I myself have written. Fantasies are not about that.

[cantdog]

Me too. One of the hottest and best in the whole book, for me. I would think you could be proud not only to make yui happy but to be associated with such a fine piece.

Oh, I quite get you, rhino. I support your decision, and since they are, largely, being printed to order, it will be even fairly easy to do, comparatively.

I do see regrets on both sides of the decision, though, that's all. Especially with regard to yui, for whom this cannot be a very nice thing. I would hate to be told I was too dirty. I feel bad for her.

 

[TheEarl]

I deserve a bitch slap, I know.

Did not speak my mind, because I was not quite clear what was ON my mind, until now. The impending reality of publishing and the potential ramifications became clearer.

I WOULD like to hear other opinions.
Though I think I would still like to pull it.

buy your copies quick i guess.

I don't mind as much that contributors get a hold of it...but something doesn't sit right about "letting it loose"

I will make sure that YUi gets a copy..or the original if she'd like.

Rhino: It is definitely your perogative and I'll respect your decision 100%. I can't say I understand it much, but it is your perogative.

If I may ask one favour - would you allow me to buy a copy of the book before you pull the illustration? I personally think that drawing is fantastic and that story is one of my favourites on Literotica. I am waiting for Imp to give the all-clear before I buy mine, but I wouldreally appreciate it if you would allow me to own a copy with your drawing in.

NOT "too dirty"...just not ME.

I purchased two copies...one I intend to send to Yui along with the offer of the original. If she does not happen to be able to get one , herself in time.

Yes, The Earl, go ahead...as far as i KNOW people are ordering now (as I did).

I admit I should have declined from the beginning... I am weak.


The few copies which Do get out...and in 5-8 years when one ends up at a gararge sale that my wife finds...well..I'll just have to deal with that!

I'd prefer to wait for Imp's a-okay before ordering (I'm a student, I can't afford to buy two if the first one's duff for some reason), unless you decide to pull your drawing before that happens. If you do, please tell me.

Hello everyone!

I've been gone for awhile; sorry for my inattention to the AH and the anthology. My real life has been consuming me alive.

Rhino – no problem and no hard feelings. I told you when I asked you if you had issues with the subject that I understand completely and I do. I hesitated to offer the story for the anthology for similar reasons. I didn't want to lessen the book by submitting a subject matter that others might find objectionable.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the time you put into the illustration, but as others have said, please follow your heart. Thank you for you kindness, rhino; I'm very, very impressed.

Sex & Candy, for me, isn't really so much about the "incest kink" as it is about loving someone blindly, obsessively, and the loss of self, the insanity, that occurs when that happens. It can be wonderful—liberating—if there is trust and it can be shattering on so many levels if you are betrayed. I loved someone like that once (it wasn't my brother ) and I'm quite certain that I no longer have the capacity to love like that again. I guess I've been trying to capture that ball of madness that lives in the pit of my stomach when I remember how it felt to fall without fear.

Thanks, cant, for your concern and your kind words.

I owe many, many PMs and I promise to do my best to reply to all of them tonight. To those that I owe, please forgive the delay and my unintended rudeness.

Luck to all,

Yui

|Rhino, follow your heart love

And yui, you're a sweetheart!

I plan to upload any revisions (including the extraction of the illustration) after I get my copy & check it out -- so I don't have to do it twice.

 

[Black Tulip]

Sorry I came in late for this discussion. Real life was interfering.

Like the others have said, it's your choice Rhino.
Too bad you came to after the last possible moment.

I think I can understand though. As if you are telling the world you're fine with a story like that, while in fact you have reservations? Or at least feel you should have?

Whatever, you have every right and Yui is a sweetheart for not even kicking you once. LOL
