Is there any word on Gary Coleman and other people who share his little people disease?
It came from our conversation on legality of dryads and other similarly childlike fantasy races and a sudden curiosity on how Lit would deal with that. I'm assuming its out of bounds but. . .technically it should be in bounds. It just sounds like the sort of thing you don't allow for obvious reasons no matter what the rules say.
Yes he had something with his kidneys an autoimmune disease that frankly even after a crash course via google I only kinda sorta understand but that's at least in part because I genuinely don't care and I don't absorb information readily when I'm bored. The important detail here was that he looked like a child well into legal adulthood. And not in the generic "women who are below average height and not particularly curvy look childlike"
Back to the interesting world of fiction has anybody written a story set historically where there was a purpose to maintaining the purity of the blood line? It seems like there are a near infinite versions of monarchies and those people were clearly only so put off by banging family. It seems like it would be a setting that would zoom right past a lot of the issues and contrived reasons people tend to come up with.
The Hapsburg family of Spain is one of the more convincing examples why it's not the best idea to keep it all in the family.
There are several areas scattered around Australia where there have been multiple generations of in-breeding. In fact, we've got a whole state whose primary function is to generate 'your mum is your sis' jokes. Where I grew up, several families used to come into town, a dozen kids in each, collective IQ not much more than a shoe size - the result of being isolated since 1870 or so (maybe five or six generations, not many, really). Again, not the best advertisement for a diminishing gene pool. There's a simple reason nature tends to encourage diversity - it stops the recessive genes from becoming dominant.... not a good look, if nothing else.
But hey, people read it, so where there's an audience, writers will quickly follow!
I ran a company which managed various litigation some 20 years ago. We had a case stemming from an injury to a young man employed at a country meatworks. The case was straightforward, the only issue was quantum, but we were surprised by the dependants listed in the documentation.
It stated that the claimant had children by all three women in the household. The problem was that the three adult women were his mother and two sisters. There was a tribe of kids so the only solution seemed to be to get DNA tests done on the whole lot. It turned out that the claim was correct; he had five kids by them before he was 21. Dad, not to be left out also had children by all three women, and a younger brother had already made a start with his sisters.
The Judge (who sat without a jury on civil cases like this) very wisely made the finding (in fact), that the issue was not blood dependancy but economic dependancy. That enabled him to ignore the controversial DNA results.
Could you make a story of it for Lit? - No. Because both the boys and girls had been breeding pretty steadily since they were 13 or 14.
Incidentally the houses (a disused timber camp) were basic but clean, the kids were all healthy with no physical or mental problems. All the kids went to school but Mum was unable to write and Dad was totally illiterate.
Something worth mentioning is the misnomer that kids born of incest will automatically have physical or mental issues. Generally that is not true.
It takes generations of inbreeding to get to the point where they resemble elecricblue's remark about the collective IQ being not much. That's why most lines that continued to breed saw more and more craziness and birth defects. The genetic code doesn't break down in the first generation or two, but long term the kids don't stand a chance.
Not the first generation, agreed, but it doesn't take many generations for the inter-breeding to be very noticeable.
The families I've mentioned are the legacy of a gold mining community in northern NSW. When it was active, it was the biggest gold and antimony mine in the world, supported a population of maybe 3000 in the 1890s, before declining to 320 in 1922. These families are the descendants of the poorest folk who couldn't afford to move away.
Fifty years, is all it took. What's that, two maybe three generations? It's a pretty steep slippery slope, if breeding is the 'kink' - which I gather it is, for some readers. Reality vs fantasy, I guess.
You sent me a PM, but I'll reply here.Fancy and experience with pertinent topic has brought me to the great Literotica, cheers!
Interest & incident wholly and without exception consenual and adult. Intrigued at notion of finally sharing, I seek an author.
What's now well behind me was best and most gratifying, and something I very much still yearn for. And as such I've toyed with the notion of potential role play, however, I've quickly decided it's simply an author - or perhaps an audience - for whom I search.
Likeminded, possible matches please respond.

There's only 50 people left who are resident in the town you referred to today. Perhaps the best breeding stock upped sticks and left, leaving the weakest remnant behind.
New member here unfamiliar with protocol and whatnot, so all apologies.
In reaching out to the authors I did, my intention was an initial feeling out process; to gauge their potential interest. Details and specifics were left out to spare (further, as it turns out) annoyance, but of course were to have been available to any of those responding in turn.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
I'd apologize for making you feel bad but the truth is I'm less sorry than I am annoyed at the universe. Seriously ask around I practically have that response ready for C&P so it's not you. If anything it's me needing to just grow up and get over it because the new kid is always going to do some variable on what you did. I need to either stop caring, stop showing up to the party or at least take noob skulls of my regular diet. That's on me.
I'm still not so much sorry I did what I did as I am. . .remorseful that you feel singled out.
But yes the story ideas board would be ideal and kicking your idea around with lots of people can help it grow. As far as details you should really dump as much as you can so that people know what sets it apart from every single other version running around.
Ah, the great counterbalance. I take this rite of passage as a privilege gentlemen
