A lot of the updates for Day 2 will be kinda short and not too heavy on plot-stuff; just some cuteness, some bonding, some warm-&-fuzzy stuff. I've got a bit more planned for Day 3, though. ----------------------------------------------------------------

Day 2 Begin ------------------------------ At about 8:10 the next morning, Ellie awoke, though she did not yet move or open her eye. The memories of all that had happened yesterday came to her, and she felt her face heat up with a blush. Cracking her eye open to see a slowly spinning mobile and the top walls/bars of a crib confirmed it was no dream: she was Katie Emery

After cuddling Ellie for about 10 more minutes, Katie had decided it was dinner time (

As a couple more hours passed by, Ellie was coming to enjoy having such a

Well, Ellie's toughness was partially something she made in an attempt to drive Amazons away; she's softer-hearted than she seems. Plus, one reason she was so dour and serious was because she had nobody else, and had been that way for a long time; she was actually quite lonely. So, being given so much gentle, loving affection and attention is having a considerable effect on her, more than she'd expected. Everything that's happened and is happening is doing a number on her emotional 'barriers', too, leaving her more 'vulnerable' to it all.

The next few hours were much the same

To be honest, I think I came into this with unrealistic expectations. I look at Chasing Emily, and The Promise, and Duality, and every time there's a new installment posted, a bunch of people comment on every little detail, make predictions, point out hints, share theories... I became a little disheartened at not seeing any of that here, even after the 'world-building' I included in the last installment (getting no real reactions/discussions regarding different lifespans and aging rates, diapered In-Betweener children, etc). I'll keep writing and posting, but I guess I shouldn't expect more than carbon-copy "Good job this is a good chapter" type posts with no real investment (reminds me of how there's this one guy who follows my story series on Fanfiction-dot-net, and EVERY SINGLE REVIEW HE POSTS, for every chapter of all 30-and-counting Books, is always "Brilliant chapter as always" with no deviation or addition, just those four words EVERY TIME), no attention to details, no speculations, like my attempts to provide food for thought fell flatter than something that's been steamrollered...

Have you ever gotten a video game, set out to achieve 100% completion, only to encounter a level, boss, puzzle, or whatever that whoops your ass so many times, makes you so enraged, eats up DAYS of attempts that all end in failure, is so completely undefeatable, that it makes you just plain give up on getting 100%, resigning yourself to always see a 99% or less on your save file?

I'm kinda waiting for any more feedback/comments/whatever before I start work on the next chapter - suggestions for alterations, comments/opinions on things (the Amazon women's reactions and that of the little girl, the different races having different aging rates, diapered in-betweener kids, Ellie meets Katie, etc), whether or not anything is too 'unrealistic' in terms of previously-established Diaper Dimension worldbuilding/canon, if any of you would like to try and make predictions of how things might happen next (and possibly give me ideas in doing so)...

Ellie walked down the sidewalk in the uptown area, weaving between the other people in this moderately busy area, passing by the countless little shops and looking to see if anyone was hiring (and if so, if they were hiring Littles). She shivered a little as a gust of wind came by; here, in this town she called home, the temperature was rather cool; even in the peak of Summer, temperatures rarely broke above 80. Right now, it was early November, so the weather was well on its way toward the chill of Winter. So far, she hadn

Well, the only violence she's ever committed is on the job (as a bank security officer, against armed robbers, just as someone in her job description is supposed to, and even then she used non-lethal rubber bullets), and against a thug who was trying to kill her (and she only went for the leg stab AFTER the thug had slashed her eye out, and hadn't been TRYING to hit a major blood vessel when she did it). Otherwise she's not a violent person, doesn't really have anger issues. It's just that she was on duty the first time, and fighting for her life the second. She'll defend herself, has some training for that sort of thing, but she really doesn't like the idea of seriously hurting someone unless it's abundantly clear to her that she has to. An annoying person or overly-motherly Amazon will never count as that (well, unless for whatever reason they actually DO try to seriously hurt her; you never know about some people).

I'm still waiting to see if anybody else is going to give any feedback/ideas/whatever (what you guys think of Ellie's character and story so far, how some people (Amazons, In-Betweeners, other Littles) in-universe might react to seeing/meeting Ellie, possible scenes or plotlines, if her "have my big obvious scar and missing eye out for all to see in order to help lessen my appeal to Amazons" approach would be realistically effective out in public around In-Betweeners & Amazons or if she's just 'gotten lucky' so far). ...Well, that and I'm also working on a bunch of other things at once - a translation project, two other stories (neither of them meant for this site), and a playthrough of Crash Bandicoot 2 on the PS3 Virtual Console.

...Well, since everyone else is doing it, I thought I would, too. I'll do my best to make it interesting, and appreciate any helpful tips. Also, I'm sorry about the pun with the story title; it's the only thing I could think of. You'll see what I mean... ----------------------------------------

I'll go try... But if I DO get told I can't by a mod/admin there, or even penalized for it, I'm hitting you with the biggest "I TOLD YOU SO" I can make.

But I'm afraid that if I start a "Does anyone wanna RP with me?" thread in the RP section - which looks like it's ONLY for actual RP threads, not threads ASKING people if they want to RP -, I'll get penalized or banned or something.

This seems kinda complicated, but I don't know where else to best ask this:
