    Who ever said that the internal timeline of a story needs to run parallel to external events? This would undeniably be a better outcome for Grandma than the song's actual title, "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." This story is such fun! Though I'm sure I'm not the only one here who would rather be Merri right now than Tarja.

    I have a bizarre and unparalleled relationship with this story. First, it is brilliantly written and detailed, the proof of which is the significant number of us who are still here despite (in some cases major) trepidations about the way things are proceeding. What The Shithead Nelson said about the inevitability of their loss and his victory—I'm still holding out at least a small hope that he's wrong—is not a surprise, but it nevertheless doesn't make it any easier to accept for those of us who tend to like reasonable karmic balance. While this story is undeniably fascinating, though, it is also utterly infuriating: if you believe that the long moral arc of the universe bends toward justice (which in the real world is getting harder to believe every day), stories such as this one, which seems to postulate a world even more of, by, and for the wealthy, cynical, self-centered assholes than our is, are hard to take. But therein lies the bizarreness: I can't tell you how many stories I begin and then abandon because I am just not interested in immersing myself in their dystopian visions of the world...not that I hate dystopian stories per se, but when I read The Hunger Games or something like that I always feel there is a fighting chance that the people most like me will find a way through. Here, though, with the mounting evidence that no help is forthcoming for the protagonists—it's hard to conceive of a way out of this Option B nightmare even if everything that put all this in place collapses, and here we are so close to the end with no signs of any such collapse in sight—every chapter is more difficult to read than the one before. Yet I read them, surely a sign of the quality of your work. And here is why, besides the excellent characters you have created: you've held out just enough hope that help will come—John's dad's research, the outside rallies against all this, the flashforwards to some kind of sweeter resolution—to keep those of us who crave the justice I mentioned interested and with you. I hope that something will change, against all odds, but I'm on this journey with you and will be until the end.

    I am really enjoying the slow build here. You asked whether I knew what she was hiding; well, this is an ABDL forum, so I guess that helped make it obvious. Nice work in slowly revealing it!

    I just read through this entire story (so far), having managed to miss it before. I'm so glad to have found it! I love stories that create dynamics that are unlike the clichés that most writers trade in, and this is one of the best I've come across. I hope that Brock really is what he now seems to be; that's the guy I want exploring her little self with her.

    I'm loving this!

    Oh no! Why do asshats like this need to stir up trouble where none exists? (I know that there is huge overlap with contemporary politics, but I have the same question for many people there as well. Why can't they mind their own fucking business?) After seeing how excited the plans for the Center made Briana, it hurts to see the Sunshine Girl all clouded over. And Alanna got torn in the process! (Maybe they could sue that HYENA for assault on a stuffed bear!) In any case, she needs to steady herself for what looks like a forced outing. (BTW: my suspicion is that the out-of-town "project manager" is the source of the leak.)

    You know that I had some issues with the way things played out in this story, but that's neither here nor there. The fact is that the writing and plotting are both superior to most ABDL stories out there. Maybe my earlier issues stemmed partly from having read several of your earlier pieces and recognizing your propensity for leaving characters in less than optimal condition; I am the sort of person who likes a happier ending and clear punishment for the antagonists. Here, it seems that the "happiest" ending we will get still leaves our main characters seriously regressed (though with Laura, so that is something). In any case, though, I cannot expect a writer to plot out a story to my personal whims any more than I'd do so to theirs, so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the pages we have left. Here are a few of the hopes I still have at the end of Chapter 32, based on what is going on and loose ends remaining: Laura's apparent caretaker relationship with John brings them closer together; John's father publishes his research, which adds a rocket boost to the overall societal shift away from these laws; The boys whose rich fathers allowed them to get away with anything somehow get their comeuppance. (I have ideas about how that could happen, but that's for you to determine...should you want to go that route.) Laura publishes John's first-hand account of treatment at Smeckton, to which is added considerable "adult" verification from teachers, nurses, etc., and that woebegone institution is closed for good. Ah well...a girl can hope.

    For the life of me I can't figure out what Inara is getting from this bizarre situation.

    Every once in a while, someone writes a line that should be celebrated. Also, every once in a while someone writes something that is both beautifully written and genuinely new. I look forward to reading more.

    Nice beginning, Sofia! So much has happened so quickly that it seems inevitable where this will go (even if we had not read the other story). I must admit that Katie confuses me a bit: at home, she seemed well aware of the babification (at least rumors of it), so one the weird stuff started to happen here, why has she not put two and two together?

    It's quick, cute story, W&L—and you're clearly having fun with these songs. Did you consider lengthening it to further develop the weird magical experience? Either way, it's a clever one-off.

    I'm loving this. It's so different—the real world with a bit of something extra—and it is absolutely fascinating.
  13. kerry
    Crazy but interesting thought.

    Too bad Charlotte can't see that this is not normal. Maybe she could figure out what is happening to her. 🙂

    Goodness I hope we never find out, since doing so would mean that John ends up there... Um...LostBBoyBear, I want to apologize. After...some of the events in the real world, at least in the US, I started taking someone's comments too much to heart. I know better; I even told them at one point that we shouldn't hijack the thread. I should have fought harder against my emotions. FWIW, though, I have consistently said that I think this is an excellent story, one I look forward to. I may hate what happens in it and find some things unreasonable, but that's very different from thinking it is bad. It's not, at all. Thanks for writing it and continuing to post it.

    You wouldn't think so, would you? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2024/aug/20/woman-raped-by-stepfather-child-condemns-us-state-abortion-bans-dnc-video Or, perhaps more to the point: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ohio-minors-sought-abortions-state-sexually-assaulted-affidavits-say-rcna49797 Since Trump "left abortion up to the states" and more states are GOP controlled (a byproduct of two things: gerrymandering and a 19th Century crammed full of right-wingers making states with lots of land and very few people) and therefore it would take more than a Dem president and VP to fix the problem. Since the US, as has been amply proved, is pretty much split down the middle, there was nothing Biden/Harris could do.

    I'm afraid that either your information or your interpretation of it is askew here. Prior to the election, 41 states had abortion bans in effect with only limited exceptions. 13 states had a total abortion ban. 28 states had abortion bans based on gestational duration. A couple of bans were overturned by the people last week. The reality is that bans are unpopular; many states have laws that empower citizens to overrule legislators. Almost all such attempts re: abortion have been successful, even in deep red states. Some of the bans were written in such terms that they make doctors afraid to treat miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies for fear of prosecution. Women have died due to this. Also: Tell this to the 12-year-old who had to give birth after being raped by her father. k

    Um...Trump appointed justices last time with the blunt notion that they would strip away abortion rights...which they did.
  19. kerry
    I suspect that would be the reaction of just about every reader. 🙂
  20. kerry
    Absolutely!!! This is also a likely thing that isn't happening...

    I really do like this story and am always ready for a new chapter, but honestly, in any remotely reasonable assessment of what happens here, it makes no sense at all. I know Smeckton is supposed to be Maturity Laws on steroids, but, since nothing has been mentioned about a national blackout on news re: these places, its excesses would never have been tolerated beyond the earliest stages. If nothing else, parents would be up in arms about what is happening/has happened to their sons. And BTW: how did these laws come to exist in the first place? Why on earth would anyone, let alone any male, ever support or vote for them? And of what possible societal value is a massive number of regressed adult babies? Oh...and plastic potties? I understand them in DD stories, but again: of what possible value are they here, other than to further demean the boys and simultaneously make more work for the nurses? (Have you ever cleaned a plastic potty after a poop? A diaper would be preferable.) Mass regression stories, to my way of thinking, ought at least to be logical. Their goals should be clear and their role in advancing society—whatever that might mean in the story's internal world—should make perfect sense. But the first time an option-B boy appeared in his old neighborhood the country should have been up in arms, demanding explanation, demanding heads on spikes. And since everyone seems to know that Smeckton makes its mission not to educate boys but to break them, it should have been closed immediately, before it could finish its first year, and its leaders imprisoned (or broken themselves). I know, I know: it's a diaper story; I shouldn't take it so seriously. But I can't help thinking it would be even more frightening if it had internal consistency and made reasonable sense. Why don't Don and other sympathetic townies report what is going on, shout it to the hilltops, alert the NY Times? How did Smeckton manage to assemble so many educators who could be happy enforcing rules like these? And that's not even addressing the obvious favoritism of moneyed families. Nope: I should just let it be. But I think that if the odds were not so stacked against these boys, if things ran fairly even within the blatantly unfair parameters of such academies, this still wouldn't be very reasonable, but at least it would have more internal logic.

    This was a lovely surprise! Thanks for resurrecting and finishing it!
  23. kerry
    But you will also be publishing it here, right? It's a very long story; digesting it slowly might be easier. I like it so far. It seems a more benign version of the DD than some others (though a few comments here and there make me understand that it won't all be easy). k
  24. kerry
    Thank goodness.

    I strongly suspect that this is not the place to post this, but Personalias is mostly known for his excellent stories. His last post on his SubscribeStar was a month ago, and I don't think he ever indicated that he would be taking a break. I'm concerned.
