    • I never said Harry Potter was perfect, nor did I ever say Rowling wasn't a absolute piece of garbage who needs to burn in hell. It was just the closest analogy for fairly obvious reasons, considering, you know, very obvious parallels. I could have quoted some other whimsical fantasy adventure, but you were obviously going for something Harry-Potter aligned or at least adjacent, so that's what I went with. Would you prefer I mention a Terry Prachett novel? HP was just the closest source material. I was honestly hoping this WOULDN'T be as cruel as some aspects of HP and would actually focus on, you know, a common theme or story? worldbuilding? education, friendship, and kink. Instead of just 50% kink 50% "haha Daniel's life fucking sucks actually" I sort of hoped he'd... you know, have an arc? develop as a character? Instead of just, like... continually being a dumbass misogynist the whole time. The closest we get are his interactions with Ismella. I get that you're going for hateable, but when the protagonist doesn't progress emotionally, it doesn't feel like a story, it just feels like YIIK (sorry, niche reference - makes him feel as flat and boring as Voldemort feels as a flat villain, how's that.) It makes all the worldbuilding and characterization feel more like you're just dragging it out till the next big torture porn scene where we all get to laugh and jerk off to how much of a miserable fucking failure Daniel is. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be doing a flame war or anything, I just... am disappointed, I guess.
    • THIS. Exactly what I'm saying. And again, I did put my hat in the ring by pitching the whole rebellion angle, which hopefully makes it stand out, but I gotta pay respect to all the other DD writers who made me fall in love with the concept to the point of finally putting my hat in the ring on this site. Yes, Unfair terrifies me, but it's a good terrified. It's well written to the point where it doesn't just feel torturous, and it fleshes out the world and characters so much I can't help but get sucked in. Same with a lot of Personalias' other works - hell there's even a happy ending DD story for freaks like me who want consent in their diaper literature, lol. Sorry, I digress. The main reason I asked my main question was cuz I saw someone writing a good story, but he commented like "no dimensions, no universes, no magic, just kink", which... I mean, you know what, fair. It was exactly what was advertised on the tin (and hot to boot.) But it just worried me about the whole DD fatigue concept to the point where I mentioned it. I want to make a story as well as kink fiction, and while yes I obviously include a lot of horny elements, that's just cuz... well, I'm that kind of person, haha. I do my best to balance it, and I hope that it makes people enjoy. It really is a common theme though, even outside of DD works, and I do wish that most works would be a little less repetitive than just "ooooh you're in diapers now ya doofus enjoy poopin'~"
    • I don't want to be pedantic, but... Oh, who am I kidding, I do want to be pedantic.  Isn't Harry Potter also a story where the protagonist is routinely tortured and abused? Every book features new and horrible cruelty inflicted upon actual children, sometimes by the characters we're supposed to believe are the good guys.  (Also, Rowling is a TERF and can eat shit. I'm happy to discuss plot and theme and taste, but that's not up for debate.)
