Need a Little Advice - Age Play

[HighCastle]

This has probably been discussed over and over, but I was wondering where 'the line' is drawn in the use of words such as daddy, child, babygirl and the like.

My first story made it through fine, probably because not a whole hell of a lot happens in it, but my second was rejected. It contained all of the above words but the participants were, to me and I thought fairly obviously in the story, adults. I'm not bitching or moaning because the rules are the rules. I was just wondering if there's a way to use such words and be acceptable.

Was it any one of those words in particular that caused a problem, the fact they were used at all or the fact that the ages of those in the story wasn't stated?

For me, it's easier to write daddy/babygirl than, say, master/slave or sir/girl but if that's what's needed, then all well and good. Just wondering is all.

Maybe you need to come right out and say their ages somewhere in the context of the story? I've not had this problem, but I did use "daddy" quite a bit in one story, and it wasn't an issue. It wasn't quite in the context of the master/slave thing, more like joking around though.

I've also seen a disclaimer at the beginning of some stories that clearly states all characters are over 18. You might try that, as well.

Good luck.

I think TK is right. There seems nothing wrong in the words per se, especially in a BDSM or fetish context. It is just important to make it crystal clear that they are over 18.

Putting ages early in the text perhaps, but if they are adults, why not a disclaimer before the story stating that 'all characters in this story are over 18.'? Quite a few people do it like that.

I tried that myself with an ageplay story as well.

Blatantly named the character's ages, explained through story text that it was a roleplay, AND put the age disclaimer at the beginning.

Still rejected.

It's a pretty tricky thing, for sure.

Hint - don't make it too real.

Did you copy and paste the story on the submission page or did you send in a doc file?

It makes a difference. The cut and paste is read by a machine and it looks for key words and such. Doc and other such are human read and of course have more leeway in what they except and reject.

Just a suggestion.

It was a C&P.

Thanks for the suggestion, Tx.

While I'm over there, I will have to read something of yours again. *grin*

Tried the same thing in one of my earliest submissions - tried to make it clear and obvious that both participants were well into adulthood. But it was still rejected, because of the direction the roleplay went. I just crossed it off the possibilities list. No big deal. Plenty of other ideas to play with...

Me too.

It was suggested that I keep it for myself and the few special people who would truly appreciate it and everything behind it.

Thanks for the replies folks. Much appreciated.

Seems the safest method is just to avoid it as much as possible.

I'm not an expert on what exactly gets a story rejected or accepted but here's my take.

Using the word child to refer to a character who participates in sex, is probably not conducive to getting a story posted.

There are plenty of stories that have characters referred to as Daddy, Lil girl, girl, babygirl. I've been told that as long as the story doesn't take it to the point where psychologically, and adult is having sex with a child, even though the child is really an adult, the story will be ok.

Putting a statement at the beginning of a story helps, but you have to make sure your characters are adults and act like them, especially if they engage in sex.

Just my .02.
