Nursery Rhymes

[Oazeal]

I find one of the hardest parts of writing a story is naming the characters. I just finished reading a lovely tale by Satsumabook123 (https://www.literotica.com/s/grandfather-meets-a-young-waitress) in which the characters were named Jack & Jill, like in the old nursey rhyme. This got me thinking about doing a story or series of stories about characters from nursey rhymes and their adult adventures. I am open for suggestions.

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.
Jack burned off his fucking dick!

(Andrew Dice Clay has lots of them)

Literotica has a rule against posting stories of aged up characters that were children in the source material.
Were it not for this rule I'd have done a return to Neverland story long ago.

Were the ages of Jack and Jill ever defined? I've seen lots of stories about them. Alice too.

Dorothy may be fair game too, at least as far as age:

"The magic of Oz keeps Dorothy young. In The Lost King of Oz (1925), a Wish Way carries Dorothy to a film set in Hollywood, California. She begins to age very rapidly to her late 20s, making up for at least some of the years that have already passed. The Wish Way carries her back to Oz and restores her to her younger self, but she learns then that it would be unwise for her ever to return to the outside world. Baum never states Dorothy's age, but he does write in The Lost Princess of Oz that she is a year younger than Betsy Bobbin and a year older than Trot, whose age was specified as 10 in Ruth Plumly Thompson's The Giant Horse of Oz, putting her at age 11 by the time she comes to live in Oz."

This was also my first thought. It is always good to repeat, to prevent the underage stories where they are "aged up."

On a second pass I think aged up isn't asked. Merely adult versions of characters in nursery rhymes, which can very well be old enough.

I have a lot of trouble with Dorothy in a story. She's well known to be a child. Even if they are aged up in an official story, few would truly know or care.

Worst for the example of Dorothy is that aging up only makes her body age up. I do not know if her mind does as well, but putting a child in a mature body must be illegal on this site. If not explicitly, then at the very least implicitly.

Only if Dorothy has a well known adult phase that spans for long enough that they distance themselves from their child versions I would consider a story legal. If you can write a story with people not identifying the child.

People are most familiar with the film, but the source material, the original author's own works place her at age 20. By Lit's 'stated rules', that should make her OK. Whether Lit would accept that is another issue.

I'm not sure about Alice though. I can't find much on that. I know there are a number of adult stories, pictures and films, but again, what would Lit do?

But are either Alice or Dorothy 'fairy tales'? That's a different issue.

To avoid any confusion, here are the content guidelines about this particular topic:

To that end, we DO NOT publish works of any type featuring the following content:

• Sexual activity involving characters under the age of 18 (including but not limited to explicit sexual discussion, voyeurism, exhibitionism, fantasizing, masturbation, and graphic sexualized descriptions, in addition to actual sexual intercourse). Literotica has always had a strict policy against any under-18 content, and any attempt to violate that policy is grounds for account termination.
• Any material supporting, encouraging, or defending any type of child abuse and/or child exploitation.
• Celebrity stories or fan fiction in which the characters are artificially aged - that is, under 18 years old in reality or in the source material, but made to be over 18 for the story.

It is not they they need to be 18+ in a story. It is that if the character is under 18, it isn't allowed. She is under 18 in the source material, even if she reaches 20 at one point. There rules are clear.

Under 18 in the source material. A no go.

The character is meant for children to identify in the heroine, and is portrayed as a young girl. It would be too easy for pedo's to abuse it and write fan fiction that is actually not about an adult, however much they state it is an adult.

From my understanding;

Red Riding Hood is fair game because her age is never explicitly stated and it is commonly understood to be a story about avoiding sexual predators.

Godlilocks is not because she is explicitly stated to be a child in several versions.

In a similar vein;

Georgy Porgy would not be okay because, "Kissed the girls and made them cry," makes it sound like he's a child, even though he is supposedly based on King George.

Whereas Jack and the candlestick, has no age stated or alluded to so would be fair game.

The Brady kids started out as children, but were adults in later episodes and story lines.

Same with Tabitha Stevens, Kelly Bundy and Wednesday Addams.

The very first Writing Exercise I posted in the Authors' Hangout featured Jack and Jill on a hill. To my knowledge, it resulted in at least one published story, without any issues about aging up. Then again, the nursery rhyme is abstract enough that it's easy to base a story on it without making it about children.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't little red riding hood a euphemism for the clitoral hood?

 

[NuclearFairy]

Although, if you wanted to have Mama and Papa Bear make Goldilocks babysit as a repayment for all the damage she caused, and then have the story be about what Mama and Papa got up to on their child free walk. That would probably work.

First I'm hearing of it, but sounds plausible.

More likely it represents the menstrual cycle.

In the Fairy Tales Writing Exercise I mentioned that Jack and the Beanstalk is about the son growing up to take his father's place as head of the family. The beanstalk represents his "changing body", the ogre living on a cloud in the sky is his father, a booming voice hidden behind a beard. The son has to stand up to his father and become his own man.

 

[StillStunned]

More likely it represents the menstrual cycle.

Elaborating on this, the underlying meaning is probably about a young girl reaching (ahum) "womanhood" and facing the dangers of the adult world, finding out about big hairy men who lust after her and will use tricks to seduce her.
