Thanks! I'm glad you liked AMGR. Certainly not quitting my day job anytime soon, but it's nice to earn a little extra on the side.

The biggest help with editing from the comments was seeing times/situations where something that I thought I had explained well wasn't quite being understood. Which let me know there were things that needed to be clarified or explained better in future chapters. That's one of the benefits of writing in a serial style. On the other hand, you can't go back to the beginning and change things easily if the ending is shaping up differently than expected.

Overall, the plot remained very stable since the addition of Lisa in chapter three. The ending was always going to be Sarah moving in with her after being rescued by CPS.

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 liked chapter 40 a lot. I don't think the epilogue was necessary. A paragraph of MC narrative talking about what she was getting ready to do that summer (forward in time enough to where she had that info) would have sufficed. 

Minor quibble for what was otherwise a really, really well-executed story. Good job. 

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.

That's fair, though I think that would be an exception to the general rule for something in the 5k range since most of the short stories here tend towards a different direction. 5K words is a lot of words, but in terms of more general length, it's like two chapters, or maybe three if you use webnovel standards, which just isn't a lot to work with, structure-wise.

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.

[How man words is too many for one update?]

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.

I lived in Japan for a total of 5 years.  You can get diapers easier than in the US. They are in grocery stores, malls, pharmacies etc all over the place.  Some shops even have a "sample" so you can see how they feel on your hand.  They are quality and comfortable but don't expect to get high absorbancy, I expect about prevail or depends absorbency.  Last time I bought some it was a 20 pack for ¥2100. 

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

As much as this is a great story, I'm glad it's over. It's not a happy ending by far, but the happiest possible considering the circumstances. And it's REALISTIC! 

To be honest, the later chapters from when Sarah was found out to her rescue by CPS were painful. Painful to watch Sarah accept her mom's indoctrination so easily and dig her own grave. Painful, because I grew up under the reign of a similarly narcissistic father figure, and even though the circumstances are completely different, the gist remains the same. Rules. Arbitrary, pointless rules. Purely meant for inflating personal self-esteem by exerting power on other, dependant, humans. And just like here, not enough physical abuse for the law to do anything about it, just yearslong emotional torment and manipulation. 

So yeah, like for @WBDaddythis hits different. 

Like "Diapers never Lie" it's a amazing story, and one of the most realistic, if not the most realistic diaper story I've ever read. 

I have to get "All my Girlfriend's Rules" ASAP, that's for sure!

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.

Pretty sure that’s from Good Omens 😂😂 I absolutely love Neil Gaimon. Like I said, I really consider myself a moderate more than a conservative. “If you’re not a liberal at 25, you are heartless, if you’re not a conservative by 35, you are mindless” (special props if you know who said that). I maintain my liberal social beliefs from my 20’s, I believe we all should have equal rights and equal opportunities, and if it doesn’t hurt anyone then you do you. All of my friends and both of my wives (ex and current, props to any man who can survive more than 1 wife at a time 🤷‍♂️😂) are either left leaning moderates or squarely left. I enjoy surrounding myself with people who have their own opinions and views, I don’t understand this modern idea that we all have to have the same opinions to be validated. I have genuinely enjoyed this discussion with you, because it didn’t digress into an angry, stubborn standoff that resulted in insults and vitriol 

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

You were correct! It wasn't the last video like this. Not even the last one from the same YouTuber. It seems like Brett Cooper still hasn't gotten over it. I'm praying for you, Brett.

 

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.

[How man words is too many for one update?]

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.

[All My Mother's Rules (Ch. 70 & Epilogue - 2/13/24)]

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.

[The Girl Who Wanted to Wear Diapers (Ch. 31 - 5/15/24)]

I'm interested in where is story goes.  You've shared that your outline makes it almost as long as AMMR.

PS- Thank you for your writing, I think it has helped me establish my voice and pace, not to mention how to get into the complexities of the mommy dynamic.

Since he has no medical issue, I guess what she is doing what you will call reverse psychology so he would stop doing it. This is how some parents have potty trained their toddlers as well as a way to get them to give up diapers so they potty train because they want more freedom. 

Then after a while the mom just accepts this is part of who he is and he is never going to quit so best to let him wear them and take care of it himself. I wish I had a mom like that, just let me wear whenever and say nothing about it and pretend she doesn't notice. It's a matter of choosing your battles. 

The age choice was deliberate and it is significant for both parent and child.  Going from 12 to 13 and going from elementary to middle school means that you are leaving that child stage.   They are developing an identity, and a lot more independence, which is scary for both child and parent.     In this case, there is a boy who isn't ready to give up his childhood and a parent who is perfectly happy with it because she doesn't want to give up her little boy.  Her children are no longer little kids, and that is scary for her.  

In my case, I was reluctant to give up diapers in the first place and wanted to be put back in diapers from a young age, but that interest waned in my elementary school years.   I don't remember it being super strong when I was between 8 and 11, but it started to resurface when I was 12.  That's when I started to consider wetting the bed again, and I think I dribbled in bed.

I honestly don't know how my mom would have reacted had I begun to have accidents.  I know that I'd see a doctor.  Also, how should you deal with an older child who is prone to accidents on a long trip?   Practicality would suggest going back to diapers, and I would have thrown just enough of a fit that it would hide my real desire.

Even so, MW is right that some people would just see "teenage girl being diapered" and view it as something that it's not. Better to be safe than sorry.

I'm already on record that it would be a great story 9/10 English class, especially for struggling readers because it is such an easy read.   That's a skill.   I also think the themes are not out of place for what they read in 9th grade English.

However, the connection with the fetish community would cause massive problems.   If you replace the baby treatment with chaining Sarah up in a room (actually happened) and degrading her without diapers- and it's mainstream.     Degrade her diapers- it might be considered fetish porn.  PS- this is not fetish porn.

Honestly, this feels like All My Mother's Rules because of the same treatment their mother is using. Clearly the child has medical issues and should have been taken to a doctor. 

It's heavily influenced by All My Mother's Rules, but this mom is more BSC than narcissistic.  I

It is a story that I tried to write many times over the last few years.  I grew up as an American oil brat in Asia and we traveled for 6 weeks every summer.  Since I discovered diaper stories, I've wanted to write a story about a child who gets put in diapers for that trip.  I don't know how my parents would have handled it had I been accident-prone, but it was before Pull-ups so it would be wet pants or diapers.  However, I didn't always stay close to my parents when went through large international airports when I was a kid.   It tended to freak my mom out (for obvious reasons), but she didn't resort to using a stroller or harness

I left out the medical stuff, but his accidents weren't meant to be caused by medical issues.   I don't state directly, but he failed potty training because he wanted to stay in diapers.

Yeah, I have thought about putting this and "Diapers Never Lie" on Amazon. I would have to do a pretty thorough re-write/edit first, but I'm still pretty hesitant. The main reason is that not everyone feels the same way about ABDL stories with minors as protagonists. I'm a little leery of getting in trouble with Amazon for that, especially given how ABDL stuff has gone down on other sites. As far as regular, adult ABDl stories go, I don't see that going away on Amazon. They are too big to be bullied into moderating content by anyone, and there is far, far more kink/explicit material out there on kindle.

I don't know if I've read anything on Amazon that involves children, but this story is more of a survival and redemption story that includes diapers.   The diaper scenes are not very explicit

You have taken us on a very long journey, making it all the more impressive that you have completed it! I'm glad to see her mom get the justice she deserved and that there will never be a possibility of her regaining custody of her sister.

I wondered what her potential sentence could be and thought it would be closer to 3 years.

The sequel is putting a wrench in my time to learn Japanese because I'm more interested in reading about Sarah than learning Japanese on Rosetta Stone.

I usually lurk and forget to log in. I just find it weird to post a story involving a child in a situation involving a diaper on a fetish site for diapers. A few people have mentioned my grammar and that’s just text slang. May be a personal preference thing I guess I’m the odd one out here

You have a right to your opinion, but there are far more disturbing ones that involve adults- several just happen to be 18 years old and resemble children.  That is a large of the ABDL books on Amazon are explicit and sadistic, and some have characters are 18 years old.   I find those books disturbing, but I don't read them.

This is strictly a story a boy with a crazy mom to puts him back in diapers, and begs the question of whether the boy is purposely self-sabotaging himself so he can stay in diapers.  One of the best stories that we've had on this board is about a 15-year-old girl who got treated like a baby because she kept wetting her pants.   

The question is: why would you open up a story called, "I'm not a Big Kid, yet!" if averse to stories about children in diapers?   The title is a clear riff on the slogan for Pull-ups.

I share the same feelings as @A_Pale_Spirit.  I'm asexual, and the stories involving sex turn me off.    There aren't many available stories meet that criteria for me.   A lot of them also include forced feminization, which I find disturbing.  IMO- it enforces a misogynistic idea that females are infantile.

This was just a great story.   I'm already reading the sequel.

There are so many questions remaining, but I think that's what made this story so good.  I'm going to miss the updates

I watched it with a few buddies, so no pacifier, but I could have used one for a while there in the first half. I don't know if I'd have bitten through it, though - I'm more of a Bills fan, so not destined to every really, truly care about a Super Bowl in my lifetime...

I don't normally suck on a paci, and I chew through them when I do.  I bought teething rings to cover my chewing instinct, and they work better.   I was alone, so I clipped one to my shirt.   At some point, I discovered that ripping the clip was satisfying, so I did that a few times, and I probably needed a timeout when that started to happen.   I didn't have a mommy to stop me, so I kept doing it.  The muffed punt happened, and then Purdy threw a bad pass- and that's where it happened.   I'm 54 years old, so I guess I'm supposed to stay there for 15 minutes

I earned an early bedtime after the OT TD because I almost punched the pantry.   I'm not allowed to watch football until August

[How slow is too slow for a slow burn?]

Many thanks for all of the advice!

So, the core idea of the story is that the main protagonist has begun exploring an unknown abyss (based heavily off of the CYOA by Stellinearized, and the adaptation by Floricspacer, if anyone knows them), and finds that as he continues to go deeper into the abyss he begins to run into curses and circumstances that push him further and further into being babied by another character, and how that creates conflict with his goals and image of himself, the satisfaction he gets from the situation, how it plays into him wanting to be an explorer, etcetera.

Part of the issue, at least from my perspective, is that a lot of the word count is on the exploration part, especially at the beginning before it really gets to how that ties into anything ABDL related, which I personally find fun as a thing to write about, but which means that everything takes longer to get to.

Since posting this (and between a couple of awful work shifts), I've gone back into the outline to try to line it up with some of the advice given here. For example, I do think I could probably make use of dream sequences to both have diaper content earlier and maybe push things along a bit, and I am taking another look at how the things in it actually foreshadow and lead into the kink content.

I also want to point out that when I say "it takes a while to get into", that's in terms of just the absolute number of words to get from zero through all of the progression and into diapers, in terms of the proportion of the currently planned story, that's still way closer to the start than the finish, so it isn't planned to be like a "the protagonist gets put in a diaper and we fade to black" situation. It's just turned into a really long project with a lot of things I want to do, but the majority of the story overall would still revolve around the main character being babied in some form or another.

You have a delicate balance, especially in ABDL fiction, but I think it comes back to the characters.  One of the best trilogies I've read on Amazon wasn't even a diaper story- it was more of a spanking story.   The only diaper-related content was the 'bad baby weekend' where the protagonist spends a whole weekend in a crib with a diaper and then the alpha takes her out to the woods to find a switch.   It's two strange stories that I found very disturbing, but the characters were complex.

Let's use the extremes (and I've read both of these).  In one case- the girl pees her pants, takes a shower and her parents transform his room into a nursery by the time she gets out (it's on Amazon somewhere- the story sucks).  The second case- the author rights about characters I have no reason to care about- spends way too many words on BS that doesn't advance the plot and I start wondering when does the good part come.

The best story we have going on right now is All my Mother's Rules.   It took a long time until Sarah was diapered by her mother, and almost 4 years until it became this long-term thing  She is now recovering from it- which is the only story I know that has done that.  But, Sarah was a complex and believable character from the beginning.   All the other characters were genuine.
