Man... I was going to post on this thread, decided not to, and now I'm going to.
1st... This is BillPratt, a very good BE fiction writer of some very long outstanding history/pedigree (aka he's good and he's won some story contests.) I'm not saying people should fall to their knees and kiss his sitter every time he posts (kinda like people do when BA posts...) but you should consider this at least when you call him a 4 mo-newbie.
2nd... Mr. V your avatar is very polarizing. I (think) am in complete understanding of your freedom to chose such an avatar, and I think I understand your source of frustration for choosing such an avatar, but just as a means of 'letting you know what trouble it might cause...' be careful. When I fist saw your avatar I winced, and I kept me from wanting to actively participating in any posts.
This post rules make me uncomfortable. Why:
Rule 2: Why does it have to be about females only? This place has a reputation (which I do not understand fully as of yet) of being 'bad' I've seen a few posts on other forums saying stay away from the Process-Forums. Why, I have no idea. In the past I have thought this place was nice. I enjoyed some of the threads and when Thought Bubble 6 was posted at the Process Store I said cool, let me buy some of that. Yet if these forums only focus on female transformations wouldn't only guys show up?
Rule 3 makes little sense to me. What happens if I have some work on Smashwords and all I want to do is put a link in my signature directing the curious types to my work. Is that now forbidden?
Please do not see this a morphing into a 'troll' or worse into a full out PAB, but this is one of the few active BE forums left that are not associated with Bearchives. The TOB forums are a spam wasteland and I have yet find any other place that even remotely talks about writing BE fiction that's not "I wrote another chapter to my epic BE story on my DA account, please tell me what you think..."
I guess I am super, super naive... This whole Female Transformation Fetish gig falls under the sphere of sexual objectification, which I guess is most male eccentric erotica. But I was hoping this place would be more "we all are different and weird, lets all swap some stories and be a place of 0% judgment so people feel comfortable in speaking out."
I hope this makes a bit of sense.
