How Do LW Readers Feel About Taboo?

[Duil2]

Your post has me thinking that the OP mentioned he calls the women aunts and depending how she chooses to write it, if that term is used often, I wonder if the site would boot it to incest. Its obvious however the site screens context is not a thing it takes into account.

You're probably right because with one of my stories that was boosted from Anal to T/I it had sisters a lot so that's probably what prompted the move.

I have a story here called Sisters in Sin and I put a note in the box calling out the women were not related so it would not get kicked to taboo.

A really old but timeless story here is there was an author (I think the name was Bronzeage) who had a story kicked back for underage and he couldn't figure it out. After he read through it again he sent it to someone else because the characters were older and he saw nothing wrong.

It turns out him writing a line about a fifteen year old bottle of something (maybe scotch?) was what triggered the kick back. I believe someone else had it happen over referencing how old a car was the character was driving.

I'll just throw out that transgressive, pseudo-incest sex as a trope works fine in T/I.



This "uncle" was the brother of their step-father, so no biological relationship existed.

The bounces are not automatic though. One of mine contained the words 'My plan is to stay eight years old for the rest of my life.' Also, the first sentence contained the word 'schoolgirl'. This being my first submission, my admin note focused on my desire to have spelling and punctuation preserved, but now I'd flag those instead. Of course in context, if Laurel read the parts around those words, it's clear no-one is remotely under age, but I can see it was a risk.

I think that disclaimers at the top of stories really do help though. The rare stories I have had returned as "underage" were fixed by adding that disclaimer.

what do others think?

It certainly can't hurt.

The site has never explained how they screen, nor will they, they have no interest in transparency in anyway.

I think I hope it's some type of bot doing an initial pass because if it isn't, that means she's kicking things back that like my examples and your first one obviously are not under aged. So, which is the worst scenario? Because if she's reading it means she literally full stops on a word and doesn't look at one more? She saw 15 year old but didn't see 'bottle' after it? That would make no sense to me.

But I guess nothing here has to make sense.

The other issue is if she's reading then that means the many, and there are many, rule breaking stories that fly through, she saw? Again, always possible, the one consistency with Lit 'rules' are inconsistency.

I had one story here kicked back a long time ago, didn't see anything indicating underage so just resubmitted it, no note, just put it back through and it went through. A lot of people have done that.

That's why when people come here asking if something will get through that unless its blatant a lot of responses are just submit and see what happens because there is no answer when something is that unreliable.

If the story was written from the young man’s perspective, it’d probably do quite well in LW. The “other man’s” perspective is a proven winner there.

 

[BeechLeaf]

The sort of obvious thing would be a bot that counts up danger words then reports to the human reader with a region of context. On the other hand, while that might pick up a few ages, what about the trump category T/I? That first story of mine had them in the park, looking at children in the playground, which prompted her to say her sister was having a baby, and he mentioned his brother's children: the bot would report an awful lot of irrelevance.

However it's done, human or bot, the word 'bottle' should have saved that other story.

How would a disclaimer at the beginning of a story affect this?

A note to the admin, possibly, but I would question why a bot would see a disclaimer and adjust its filtering process.

Think you replied to the wrong person, I wasn't the one that suggested a disclaimer.

But to answer, I don't think a disclaimer would help

"There's nothing rule breaking in this story, trust me!"

I used your comment about the bot to raise the question about whether a disclaimer would be effective if a bot did the filtering.

I see, I had seen someone else I think Sir Hugs mention a disclaimer thought you were referring to that.

If a bot is programmed to only key in on what the site sees as problematic words, I don't think a disclaimer makes a difference, it searches it doesn't 'read'

You must be old, dude. Dude no longer is attached to male gender.

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/dude

Except when it is.

As in… I’d argue against putting this story in the Lesbian Sex category because the sex is with a dude,

Everyone knows that’s totally valid, unambiguous and common usage in 2026, no matter what the dictionary says. Using “dude” for not-a-guy is a way to use it in 2026, but it’s not the only way.

Besides, you missed the point. It wasn’t about “don’t call me a guy” at all, it was about “you could be the same person as the one calling me a dude in my story comments too, what a coincidence.”

Exactly.

Oh wow, lots of thoughtful responses. Thanks to everyone!

Sorry, I wasn't clear on the story based on what Lovecraft was saying. The younger man (21) will be impregnating his pseudo-aunt (35) while his other pseudo-aunt is in the role of cuckquean. Which I should not have left out in the original post, I don't think, so that's my mistake. Because of that element specifically, I was leaning towards LW since that's also the hub for cuckold stories, even if they're not universally appreciated there.

But also because of that, I wouldn't want to put it in Lesbian Sex as some suggested. While yes, the two women are a loving and happily married couple, they are very much going to enjoy this dynamic of sex with a man for their own reasons.

I mentioned the pseudo-incest bit because I wasn't sure if that was a notable turnoff for the majority of LW readers, like the way NC/R isn't well received in T/I as far as I can tell, or how gay/bi men aren't welcome most places outside Gay Male. If it is, I can avoid it and not focus on details I've come up with, like how close they've always been, taking family trips together, etc. I can highlight how like family they've been because that titillates me personally, or I can simply frame them as cool older women he's close to and admires, making the transition to sex a lot easier if they didn't think of each other in a familial sense. Of course, as Millie pointed out, I could go all the way and make it incest with the cuckquean enlisting her nephew to impregnate her wife and put it in T/I.

Erotic Coupling could also work, or Group, or Fetish... Mature seems like a stretch considering the women are 35 and 40

I know LW is a bit of a gauntlet. I'm less worried about the score of one story (though the idea of it creeping to others I'm working on isn't ideal). I was hoping to try it out and see if I can get some decent feedback on my writing since I've read that too can be part of the trade-off, but I rarely stray into stories about infidelity or extra-marital fun, so this was the nearest I've gotten to something I thought might fit the category. I don't want to shove a square peg in a round hole, though.

The cuckqueen aspect does lean it a bit more towards loving wives

But now you face the issue that many other stories face there and that's the anti cuck trolls, consensual or not, they tend to unload on those stories.

But in the end, its your story and you're the boss. If you're okay with a lower score and prepared to take some nasty comments-there will be good ones too but the trolls tend to get personal-then LW night be the place.

If you want to play it a bit safer and get a smaller audience but a more receptive one, Erotic Couplings would be best IMO.

But with the cuckqueen fetish could also be an option, they're very open to everything there, just smaller following

Just on the scoring. While in LW you might get a lower score because of the factions in my experience it doesn't bleed into you other stories in other categories. I have two in LW scoring 3odd each but all my other stories, which are any good, for the most part have kept up around 4 and above. I don't think score-across is a worry.

It can spread depending on how antagonistic the story is seen by them. I don't think the OP is in danger of that, they may not like this story but its not a case of deliberately pushing their buttons.

That's what I've done.

 

[Stanfield2025]

I don't think a lesbian couple is going to go over that well in LW, they want a husband and wife so they can attack the wife. Two women will leave them confused and let's face it, there's a faction there that will be offended by two married women in the first place "That's not marriage!" says Joe while stroking with one hand and holding his bible in the other (I'm only half joking with that comment)

This had me dying of laughter.
