How many more times will Maddy have to wet her bed, or when the next time happens? I've written similar stories based on some of the posts I've seen and what I was thinking at that age. I never acted on my impulse but I would if I was put back into my 12-year-old body.

Obviously, I enjoyed AMGR as well or I wouldn't have started this thread😁 I would say the ending left me wanting more, which was how I felt about AMMR rules as well. However, I think a lot of those questions were things that didn't matter to the primary conflict. AMMR is about Sarah fighting a losing battle with her mother and recovering from the trauma her mother inflicted on her enough to function as a soon-to-be young woman in the world. At the end of AMMR, Sarah was back at school, still trying to be Big Girl and still processing all that her mother did to her. AMGR begins with Sarah realizing she still hadn't processed everything about her experience, especially once her mother is released from prison. She needed Lisa to push her to help her process all those thoughts she kept hidden since her rescue. The scene where Lisa says, "I told you everything," was so powerful, and a gut punch to Sarah. If you think about it, it has to be miserable from Sarah's perspective, it must of been miserable trying desperately to use the potty like a big girl and feeling guilty every time she failed. It was overwhelming once she realized she was worse than she thought and her response was to lash out, which is what she did before. This time she is in the hands of somebody she trusts rather than someone she fears, and Lisa is smart enough to know that potty training is destroying Sarah's emotional well-being. That inner conflict is over by the end of AMGR. Her babysitting jobs don't matter because she has Lisa to support her for the time being. The Higgins reaction doesn't matter to the primary conflict. Nor does her relationship with her mother, Emilia, or her friends matter to the main conflict. There are so many other avenues that could be explored in this story. I think the most fascinating is Samantha's story going forward because she went through a huge conflict. Another one that could be fascinating is Sarah confronting her mother, or building a relationship with Emilia after Emilia is an adult

I get so frustrated with many of Kindle stories out there, which is why I switched over to Wattpad for my primary reading. Most of the ones on Wattpad are lazy writing, but every once in a while, you get a good one. I'm mostly asexual and tend to skip past sex scenes. I don't enjoy reading about a man's cock penetrating a woman's vagina. I'm also repulsed by most spanking scenes. It's okay, if it is done right, or serves a purpose- the spanking scene in AMGR is an example of one that is done right. The other thing I don't like and tend to avoid is sissification stories, which I find misogynistic. Why does infantilization always have to male turn into a helpless little girl? PS- little girls aren't helpless and needing diapers doesn't mean you have to be a little girl. That concept just bothers me, and it is used in so much of ABDL fiction. Aside from the two stories that I've read from @MinnesotaWriter (Is he getting tired of us fawning over his books?), I'm enjoying The Family Baby by AgeregressionKitten. It is a weird regression story, with themes of foster adoption and the inner conflict that goes between someone wanting to be grown up and still wanting to be little. The main character is an adult whose mother is very over-protective (enough to require a suspension of belief). The mother has been an inspiration for the mother in the story that I'm working on at the moment. I read the Kylie Trilogy by Max Harper, which was well-written, but had some disturbing imagery. I couldn't put the book down while reading it, so that is a plus in my book. If you are familiar with it, Kylie is a girl who has incontinence issues brought on by trauma, and her mother, through the advice of a sadistic pharmacist, starts forcing her to wear diapers. Kylie ends up getting involved in this strange cult-type group and then has to escape from the group with the help of her current caregiver. I've enjoyed all of the Sakura Series by @Kita Sparkles a lot. The idea that Sakura can openly enjoy being babied in a nurturing way, and find a best friend who likes it, and then her sister being both a caregiver and a baby is fascinating. There is some manufactured conflict in the story, which is necessary to keep it going, but the characterization is really good. The baby and adult parts mesh together so well.

That one is one of the first stories I ever wrote. I hadn't thought about that one for a long time (it was written a really long time ago), and based off an old meme that was out there at the time Pampers Kids. Among the Amazon books, there are almost none like that. I'm hoping to get a thread going where we can discuss Amazon books, and not just recommend stories. Amazon stories tend to focus on the adult side and tend to be heavily focused on sex. The Sakura Series has a little bit of that element. Almost any story I write will have an element where the protagonist wants to wear diapers because every protagonist that I write has an element of me in him. Here is the thread I recently created to discuss the book recommendations: Amazon Book Club and recommendation's.

That represents almost all of the catalog, but there are some gems that are worth discovering and talking about.

Since it is my thread, I would have to do it, unless a Mod wants to take it over (Please do, it sounds like a big responsibility). My reaction to All Of My Girlfriend's Rules: Spoiler Alert! I loved this story because it mostly completes Sarah's recovery from her trauma. The end of AMMR has Sarah able to function as a somewhat normal teenager, but she is still holding a lot of the trauma inside her. We begin this story with her coming back to the Higgins from college and the situation is still somewhat tragic. It feels like she is destined to be alone and her bladder issues are still holding her back, especially because Lisa has fully conquered hers. At the beginning of the story, Sarah still hasn't shared what happened to her with her mother with anybody but her therapist, which she has stopped seeing. Lisa gets her to open up, which I loved how it was genuine caring. My favorite and most cathartic scene is when Sarah throws a massive tantrum after her frustration with failing yet another attempt to use the potty. I need to re-read that scene to get the full specifics of how Lisa gets a hold of her, but I love Sarah's inner dialogue when Lisa spanks her. She was tempted to use her safe word but doesn't because this time she needs to be punished. It led to Sarah accepting that potty training was only causing her anxiety and holding her back.

It is hard to pinpoint exactly when I got there. At first, I concentrated on peeing in my diaper every few minutes. It was kind of like the potty watch, only I peed in my diaper. That led me to a spot where I peed easily and stopped monitoring when I peed. I like to travel, and wearing diapers on a trip can be a PITA, especially if you are around other people most of the time. I managed a 2-week trip in 2019 wearing Pull-ups and only using diapers on the airplane (no way will I ever seat on an airplane without a diaper again) and tried to put all of my pees in the toilet. It worked, but I was eager to get back to diapers when I got home. After Covid and spending so much time by myself, I just stopped caring about holding my pee, trying to pee, or whatever. I wear diapers to work (and thick ones with a booster), but will pee in the urinal if I think about it. Most of the time, my diaper is a little damp when I leave, but sometimes it is ready to be changed before I leave. I almost always let out a large (for me) pee just before I step in my car. Compare 2019 to what is happening today. I'm traveling and trying to be potty trained this week. I'm wearing Pull-ups, but trying to use the toilet when I need to. It's exhausting because I'm constantly thinking about my bladder, and I've already had two leaks into my Pull-up. I've thought about conditioning myself to pee in underwear like I do a diaper. The diaper diaper makes a difference over the Pull-up, because I've experienced what happens when a Pull-up overloads itself. It happened on my 2022 trip with my cousin. I honestly don't know what the status of my bedwetting is. I don't sleep soundly the entire night. I go through about 6 or 7 REM cycles through the night. I know that I usually have a significant void when I am awake between 4 and 5 AM, and my diaper doesn't feel very wet before then. I don't know if I have peed before then, but I don't think my diaper is completely dry. After that, it happens quite a bit. Maybe I am aroused by the urge to pee, but it doesn't feel that way. After that, it happens quite a bit. I'm sure I could get up to use the toilet, but it disturbs my sleep.

One of the parts that I like the best when reading stories here is the discussion that we have about the story. Especially when it is a story that a lot of us are enjoying like what happened with All of My Mother's Rules. There are a lot of stories from Amazon and other sites that are good and I would love to discuss more like you would get in a book club. The sequel to AMMR, AMGR is one that I would love to hear reactions to beyond just the vague platitudes. I want to see if there is a desire for this type of discussion on this forum, and if not here, does anybody know of a place where it does occur?

In Maddy's case, part of it is getting away from dry nights. She soaked her bed and there is no way to hide what she did. She either admits that she did it on purpose, or wait for her parents to act. If this were a less patient author and one less obsessed with reality, I'd predict Maddy's room would magically convert to a nursery in the space of her taking a shower (an actual story I read on Amazon), but I know that @MinnesotaWriter is a little more nuanced with his plots. Trust me, we are in for a fun ride with this story. I know he won't tell us, but I wonder if we will want to cuss out the parents.

I think they would buy them until they realized they suck. There might be some who will buy them, but there is no hiding a crappy diaper. But, they can do well with a quality diaper and the name. Mind you, I'd have to see how RearZ sells compared to other brands to see how big the ABDL market is. I have no clue, and unless there are numbers, all we have is speculation.

I can, and I felt that I gained some success when I stopped worrying about it. What I wanted was to pee my pants without thinking about it, and that doesn't always happen. Sometimes I know well in advanced when I'm going to pee, especially if I'm sitting. However, most of them when I'm standing- my bladder squirts out pee at random times- and sometimes I have bigger voids with almost know process. The best way to describe is that my bladder has the authority to release without approval from the brain, but most of the time it lets my brain know. Sometimes my brain sends the hold signal- and it works. Sometimes the bladder bypasses the brain and releases without letting the brain know before hand. The less I worried about relaxing, the more often my bladder bypasses informing my brain.

The only reason they would make those is to compete in the AB/DL market, or to make a diaper that is. The thing is: we are very discerning about our diapers. Unlike children and seniors who require care, the users are the ones deciding which diapers to buy. I could see Kimberly Clark making an adult version of Huggies, but they might forget about the quality. There are very good diapers out there already and it's a competitive market. RearZ and BetterDry both do a better job at it than P&G.

That sounds like a group of people who judge others to feel good about themselves. It is the antithesis of what Christianity should be about, and what attracted me to it when I practiced. While I have found many people who do practice their faith in ways that I admire, on a whole the way that the Christian community has acted in the last 15 years is appalling in my opinion. This is just one example of things that pushed me away from the church. With that being said, there are churches that are non-judgmental and not about showing off their love and devotion to GOD, which BTW is the exact opposite of what the Sermon on the Mount preaches. I like Gandhi's quote on Christ:

She has crossed the Rubicon. Let's see what happens next

I'm curious what your process and inspiration was when you started, and whether the voice of the character changed. I start my start story with the base scenario (a 15-year-old starts wetting her pants with her toddler sister struggling with potty training), but I have to start writing to find the voice. I used to post stories as serials, and find myself in a corner- and it's tough to return. It sounds like you had the end in mind before you began posting this story. If you're sick of accolades, tough- this story was so well-develop and a great read. Something that I noticed last night. This is not meant to condone Mom's behavior, but she got 10 years in prison for what she did to Sarah. Lisa's mom assaulted and threatened to kill Lisa, and she nearly got Lisa back to put her in an institution and collect the money that was owed to Lisa. It's like choosing between the least of two evils, but IMO, Lisa's mom is worse. I disagree that the epilogue wasn't required, especially with how this story progressed in real life. Maybe if it was published as a novel and read over the course of a few days/weeks. The readers experienced this story over the course of 4-years and we needed to get answers. Most of all, we needed to know what happened to mom. It would not have been satisfying to wonder what Mom ended up getting after what she did to Sarah over the last 4 years of my life. It's also not a tragedy, it's a redemption story. It's about Sarah overcoming this horrific abuse and moving on, and we need to see that redemption. Part of that was that initial meeting with her friend group. The redemption is only partially complete at the end of AMMR. Sarah is functioning as a HS student, but she still has demons that she needs to overcome. The full arch that finishes with AMGR completes that redemption because Sarah is able to fully trust again.

It's just my opinion, and it is something I see in a lot of literary fiction, but there is a lot of prose that uses far too many words to say nothing. Especially if there a super long paragraphs that A: don't say anything, or B: ramble on two ideas If this story was much longer than 5k, I would definitely break it up. I'm writing a novel, and my idea was to have the guy go from Sacramento New York, and it took me almost 2k words to get him to the plane. That's a full chapter in the way I'm planning to update the novel. From a story standpoint- I think the one time shot is really good. But there is desire for it to get views and comments. If I post a one-shot, some will read it- but then it will leave page one and it will only get a few thousand views. If I update it every day for a few days- more people will see it.

Thanks for the input I tend to look for the best stopping point around 2k words when I'm writing a novella, which also matches what I can edit in 6 hours. This story wouldn't work for that.

Thanks

The problem I have with onesies is that I can't pull it down when I poop, and I don't like doing #2 in my diaper

I just started re-reading AMMR from the beginning and it is amazing how terrible the mom is. Fortunately I don't have first hand experience with narcissistic parents, but if you did- it's has to be a painful read. The reality is while mom's abuse was both physical and emotional, there are true cases that are far worse. It is one thing to punish and shame a toddler for toilet accidents. My assumption is that doesn't work. The sad part is that Sarah's abuse was hidden, and the mom might not have got a felony if she pivoted after the failed big girl attempt.

Can't wait to see how this story builds up. I wonder how her sister will react to wet sheets in the laundry.

PS- It's been 5 months, but I was referencing tradition from Fidler on Roof. I'm different. I was Republican until 2008. I voted for Bush in 2000, and wrote-in McCain in 2004. He picked the idiot from Alaska, PS- if Biden had any guts/brains he would picked Tammy Baldwin as VP

That's because she has literally no idea what she is talking about. Her only outlet is rage, but rage is good for clicks. I fall victim to it just as much as anybody. I'm left- so I get caught up in things that get SJW up in rage, but it's all just rage porn. Karen videos, police videos, and crap like this- it's rage porn.

I have a 5k-word story that is close to being ready to update. It's a good short story. There are places that I can pull it away, but it is written as one full story. But 5K is a lot of words, and might not be the best to post as one shot. The plot is: the guy has a younger sister who becomes his mommy figure with the sister's BFF becoming his little sister.

I just finished All My Girlfriend's Rules. I thought I would read it as my IFE on my flight to Hawaii, but I would read it the moment it was released. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but it is really sweet. It's the same cost as a cup of coffee at Starbucks. I don't know how much MW can make from the book, but I'm sure it helps the man out. Part of what I loved about this experience is how we got to experience this book together, and shared our thoughts. I enjoyed the story, but a lot of the joy came from us sharing comments. All of the comments and predictions, and based on what I read in AMGR, I think @MinnesotaWriter took comments into account on his editing.. I'm trying to remember how many times I felt the story was abandoned, and how that made me feel. The hiatus after the bicycle trip to buy Pull-Ups was just mean and I thought it was abandoned. You had another one, but I knew you would come back. It was painful to wait, and we lost patience.
