aaah

Love the idea, bought the book. I've been looking for diaper TG-stories forever. I'm clearing my afternoon right now to dive into your book!

Hi there, I'm positively overwhelmed by all the great stories out there. Back in the day, there used to be recommendation threads to guide people through the jungle of diaper erotica. I'm missing those. So! I'd like to start a recommendation thread here! Maybe someone wants to join in? I'll start, sooo: Are We There Yet (ABAlex), Link: https://www.dailydiapers.com/board/index.php?/topic/75181-are-we-there-yet/ Summary: This story is more of a collection of vignettes. Each little chapter pictures a scene in the life of the protagonist. She tricked the system in a strange european country and is now treated as a legal baby. While this had been her wish, reality turns out to be much more humiliating than she anticipated. Why: Sounds like the typical ABDL story? Quite right. However, the worldbuilding here is great. Mind you, it's not much. But the little details in there are really smartly placed. And the description of the humiliating everyday life the protagonist has to endure are, well, just wonderful. The small chapters are written with a precision seldom seen in diaper erotica. Losing A Bet (Kinster): Link: https://www.dailydiapers.com/board/index.php?/topic/70925-losing-a-bet-chapter-10-added-mar-20/ Summary: A small group of friends (mixed genders) have a stupid game they play everywhere: Whoever loses it, has to do some silly thing for a period of time. In the past, the dynamic between them lead from this innocent setup to some more extreme punishments. This time around, Mike lost. And he has to wear and use diapers for 30 days. Why: The core of the story is the dynamic between the friends. There is one character who is a bit more nurturing, others push for ways to humiliate the protagonist further. Otherwise, there is nothing special in there. But its focus on the dynamic, the relationship between the characters, the pushing and shoving they do to each other makes the humiliation really vivid. The protagonist is not allowed to change his own diapers, later on there are some more infantilising elements. Beware: Seems abandoned. However, an older version with a different set of characters (male only) exists that is a bit longer: https://www.deviantart.com/kinsters-corner/art/The-Bet-Chapter-1-790435603. The Wish (Macska): Link: https://diaperstoryarchive.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/the-wish/ Summary: Guy makes a wish to a genie. He doesn't think to much about his wording. Thus, the next morning he awakes as an incontinent girl. Why: Okay, I know. This has neither great writing nor is the story very inventive. It's also quite a few years old. However, this is one of the very few examples of a story where the protagonist just lives his (or better: her) life, has to deal with diapers, and the genderbender (don't know any better expression) elements in there are also great. Never seen this recommended anywhere, so I think it needs some love. (By the way, should anyone read this. I'd love suggestions that have similar plot to this.) French Whines (CS Fox): http://foxtalestimes.com/Stories/french_whines_current.htm Summary: US-american exchange student in france drinks to much wine. He wakes up as a girl and slowly realises his continence may not be what it was. Someone, there is also a mystery novel with crime elements mixed in there. Why: This is a classic. It tries to be more than just quick erotica and it succeds in doing that. The writing is okay, but the character building is great. It's lovely to see how slowly the protagonist realizes his needs for diapers and it stays -- if you don't mind the initial leap of faith -- rather realistic. Comparing it to wider literature, the plot is not great. For diaper erotica it is, however, genuisly crafted. Breaking The Girl (bbykimmy): https://www.dailydiapers.com/board/index.php?/topic/63888-breaking-the-girl-a-novel/ Summary: What if you where a very clever lonely person, who doesn't quite know how to make proper connection to people? And what if you wished you were the dominant part in a little-themed bdsm relationship? That's what this story is about. It calls itself a novel -- rightly so! I can't summarize it properly, it has too many, too tightly woven great elements. Why: This is the single best piece of erotica I've ever read. There is no mislead ambition in there. In its core it's a story about a diaper / little focussed relationship. But it explores this desire in a way I haven't seen anywhere else. One thing that makes it stand out it is that the protagonist here is the dominanting person. By the way, while it takes on all this big questions, the story still stays hot. I didn't recommend it as the first one because I assume everyone knows it. Do you want to add your recommendations? Some ideas for ground rules / recommendation recommandations : Please add at least a small summary or some bullet points regarding the story in your post. This is the most important point. Just a link isn't a very helpful recommendation. Tell us what the story is about and what in there inspires you to recommend it. Please don't advertise your own story here. If it's great, I'm sure someone else will recommend it! Please put a link to the story in your post. The story should be freely accessible, so please no posts only stating something like "check out this awesome patreon". Please no kink shaming. Diaper erotica covers quite a fair bit of ground. So everything sane & legal is allowed as long as it has a connection to diapers. Please include only stories that have at least a few chapters or are ideally finished. Please try and include at least one newish story in your post. While the classics are great, most of them are widely known. Mix in some newer ones, if you aren't sure. Well, I think this list turned out to be longer than I expected. Hope no one is scared away -- Thank you! I'm obviously not a native speaker, so I hope my maybe odd expressions and grammar don't harm the comprehensibility of my post.

There are some very interesting points in your post. You are right in pointing out that judging hypnosis "irrational" is too broad. I just meant it as a term to catch the expectation of "this recording will change me". It wont. This is an irrational expectation. But that stories that you believe in can change something, is of course true. Historically, psychoanalysis developed from hypnosis. If psychoanalysis is about working on your self in a mediate way (because you can't directly access the unconscious or, quite possibly, your self in general), and largely working because of the relation between client and therapist (as some argue), there are quite a few similiarties to hypnosis. However, isn't it still somewhat irrational, because you believe that the recording voice is in a relation to you? Or is that just a wrong, essentializied assumption (as if true relations are only that between people). A real person can do things, you don't expect them to do. There is the chance of being surprised (in possibly any way) and thus you need to learn to trust them. In a recording, you know what happens. So I guess the question boils down to: Can you trust a recorded voice? Can you have a trusting relation with a recording? (This, I think, is what Little Lullaby is so good in doing (for me)) In a strong sense, rationally you can't trust a recording. There is no real relation to the person recording. It's a pseudo relation, maybe something one could call parasocial. But that doesn't meen that it feels as if you could. This distinction was the point I wanted to make with the comparision to stories. Sorry for the ramblings, don't know if anyone even understands what I'm trying to say with my garbled grammar Tried to repeat the experience yesterday, but it didn't work. Maybe I was too tired. Will try again.

Thank you so much for the link to Little Lullaby. I don't believe in hypnosis, but the files over there are astonishingly well made and I love the little legend the narratrix has build on the website. It's of course a rip-off, overpriced; whatever. The actual content of the files I checked is only about ten minutes or so, but it's very immersive, maybe because of the lengthy prelude. It's maybe more like an audio story with an irrational promise attached to it. That's fine, didn't expect more, but was enchanted by the free files. I really could let myself fall in the narration. More like in a weird combination of meditation and being aroused, but still. So if your interest is less in being really hypnotized, really becoming incontinent or whatever and you just want to entertain your fantasies (your desire)-- well, check out the free files yourself, they have the same quality as the one I bought. The description is point on, too. Also, I haven't felt so much at ease with wearing diapers as I was yesterday as I listened to the files. Yeah, this is not an effect of hypnosis. It's an effect of someone (that seems to care; as silly as that is to say of a recorded voice) telling me: "It's okay" . Humans are for sure strange animals :D. PS.: Would love it, if anyone could point me to similarly well made free material. Im far too broke for the purchase I've made already. Also, would like it if you know of any theoritcal discussion of these hypnosis stuff as a genre of erotica. Seems to me be similiar to ASMR in its staged immediateness (in the literal sense).

I find it fascinating how stories changed over the time. A while back, the quality was in general (!) much lower, however it was much easier to find the good ones. And also the ones that got to in the right way. You just needed to search the name of the couple of authors you really liked. And everyone metioned the few better ones. Astonishingly, forums tended to be more specialized, too. Or the seemed more homogeneous -- I don't know. There was a clearer distinction between AB and DL content; the DDLG stuff and all these modern terms may be a reason why the content is incredingly mixed. Maybe that was a reason why there seemed (?) to be more discussion about stories. Maybe the web was differently used back then (it was certainly differently structured with all the blogs or even further back with yahoo groups and such), however I remember reading more discussion and recommendation of stories, which made it easier to find the right ones. People getting into this whole diaper thing nowadays are, I assume, quite differently socialized then a lot of people back ten (or, well, twenty) years ago. This "little" thing is being presented as a lifestlye, sometimes as a sexual identity. And sometimes -- this needs to be understood in the right way, it's not meant to pathologize anyone -- the fantasies over there are clearly wish fulfillment, e.g. a way to deal with depression. This is perfectly okay. And it'd be strange if the mental health crisis wouldn't reach the domain of (somtimes sexual) fantasies. But it introduces other elements into a story that need readers that happen to have the same wishes. And those readers may be quite vocal, when they like a wish-fulfillment story (or expected one and got something else). While all these cultural stuff is mostly in specialized groups / on tumblr, this also means, that on the few non-specialized forums like this one here, there is a lot more stuff that appeals only to part of its users. Just to repeat myself: I don't mean to say "little" fantasies are not okay. All fantasies are okay. I also don't mean they all deal heavily in wish-fulfillment. And anyway : a LOT of the stories here are wish-fulfillment. My point is: There seems to be a quite vocal, quite moralistic crowd regarding some darker themes. That's okay. But that also means that it's really hard to find the stuff that appeals to you. It'd be great if there was a recommendation thread linking good forced regression or forced / humiliation-focussed DL stories. (I know there is one, but most of the links are dead by now...) ---- I do have some others observations I want to share, but they are off-topic. You've been warned. Okay, but how do you know you reach you readers, then? There are different modes of affection, different modes of perceiving something as intense. I want to develop that thought a bit. I think it's noteworthy to see how themes and motifs tend to shift. Back then, a lot of stories revolved around (fictional) parent/child dynamics with a heavy focus on discipline or punishments. Nowadays, the stories seem more immerserve, e.g. spend a lot of time to develop or adopt a fictional universe in which you as a reader can dwell. Look at the popularity of the Diaper Dimension universe, for example. There is punishment, too. But it's not a function of a specific familial dynamic per se, rather a (logical or more precisely, real) function of the world . If you live in the Diaper Dimension and are a Little, you know what to expect. It's just part of being in this world, that there may be diapers in your future, as it's part of diving to get wet. To get back to topic: I'd argue that the stories seeming to be nicer is an effect of this shift. It's harder to be mean to your character in an immersively told story. The "making someone feel something" is in this immersive stories less relative to what the protagonists expierence, but _how_ it is to be in the world depicted. Going back off-topic. There seems to be less original content. Maybe this is an effect of the increasingly well-formed universes and story ideas available? Back ten years ago, there were also a lot of clichéed stories. But they were also more (often badly written) odd (or maybe better: ideosyncratic) fantasies. Aren't pullups gaining a lot more traction? When was the last time you read a story revolving around cloth diapers? They were huge a few years back. Of course, there are also some developments I find unsettling, e.g. the drive to commercialize diaper / age play erotica (just read a fascinating piece about the erotica industry: see here). The often seem to be more, well, let's say, nurturing. It's a well-described mechanism of cultural industry to produce happy endings; this may also effect non-commercial stories. I prefer the idea of a community of like minded strangers wanting to entertain, to develop one's own sexual fantasies as freely and radically as reality may (or should) not allow. Sometimes it seems, that the users, on average, of this kind of forums are getting older. What are the younger folks up to? Where do they share their fantasies? Are they all in private SnapChat groups? There was some drive to go over to Tumblr, some time ago. However, after the very puritanical political choices they made, the communities over there seem not be thriving anymore.

Finally, the story speeds up! Love the dynamic between the characters. The story style (perspective of both protagonists) really suits this focus. However, I do wonder why Nick is so quick to give up everything. Shouldn't he struggle more with his new forced-upon gender identity, his new status and especially his freedoms lost? Why is he so easy with being called Holly at home? What's his perspective here anyway, to slowly become Ivy's baby? Surely, that's not the future he's been looking for. To make it a bit more concrete: The new gender is more or less superficial, right now. I loved his little contemplation a few chapters back about the "panties" and would love to see more on this kind of struggle. As a man, he's surely been socialised differently, surely has somewhat of a picture of self that includes certain genitalia / place in the world. Regarding these huge changes, sometimes the story seems to be dealing with them irritatingly superficially. Isn't it strange for him to be applauded for his cuteness, to be excepted to be pretty? Isn't that quite different, especially considering that his place before was defined by his professional education? I do miss more of a conflict, to be honest. I mean, he wasn't happy with his old life, obviously. But still, he was used to a certain way of living, of independence, of accomplishments. Maybe the next, more drastic, less to ignore changes will trigger a reaction, a new depressive episode? Maybe it's a culture shock-thing right now, where he doesn't quite grasp that this is not a dream, not a vacation, but possibly his new life for at least quite some time. Him struggling more, that could also be a way for Ivy to show him, that he needs her taking care of him. I also wonder, what impact it has, if he's reintroduced to the world in broader terms, e.g. the daycare at Ivy's place of work. Maybe that's a breaking point for him, where he learns that it's not a game, a secret thing, just some odd episodes he's experienced with Ivy, but his life now. Anyway,I'm really excited for the next chapters! Don't mean to be overly negative, it's just I think it's nice when readers engage with the story. Obviously, I wouldn't be so critical, if I wouldn't like your story. Hopefully, my reaction is intelligible, since this is not my first language. Thank you again

I've read only until chapter 39. But I really like your story. At times, it gets a bit too harmonistic for my taste (I'd expect there to be more conflict with Eric/Jamie's history and Amanda's, well, calls for submission), but apart from that I've seldom read a fetishy story that so well explored the desire of ABDL. It really feels as if I was on a journey with Eric/Jamie. I bought it, of course! Thank you Sorry for the garbled grammar. This is not my native language.
