Save our AR/AP Section

Edit: Also, regardingI'd love to know where you go for said AR/AP stuff on DA - I'd be glad to post whatever I find back here, too.


Also, a question regarding a contribution I'd like to make: The other day, I finally found the source for the one big thing I've asked about in the AR/AP Req Thread that, unfortunately, nobody had any idea the source of. I had been searching for four years

Now, in addition the the portion that my sample page was from, there are 6 other volumes. Some are AR/AP related, and some arent, and each one is hundreds of pages. I would love to post it up for you guys, so what would be the thing to do? Post image links to a few examples of ar/ap I did find, and then give a link to the whole series saying "check these out for more"? I don't want to do it wrong and get scolded, so I figured here is as good as any other place to ask :x

Well, I'd love to see them Bubbleman, thanks.

I'm the same way but I really should stop lurking, which I admit, I am very guilty of and start commenting a lot more.

And I have to agree.. It is dang hard to find any decent AP these days that isn't Old Age, which is a fetish that I can't even begin to understand, much less appreciate. I haven't written many AP stories but I'll see if I can get around to at least making an effort to contribute.

Whatever happened to that japanese AP team, do they still do stuff?

I'm actually only an AP fan in this section, not AR, so this section is usually disappointing for me, but hey, it's still the best community I know of for ANY content, so why complain? It's not like having fewer sections is going to boost the bandwidth or post count.

Well I'm usually a AR combined with AP fan. I'm usually hanging around in the attribute theft thread and I help Max out in his group from time to time; transfertheme. The lack of content isn't just a lack of conversation or things drying up. Its the stigma that posting something that could be considered "underage" is bad and illegal. There are a lot of grey areas in this genre/fetish. The more people don't understand where the red line is the less and less content gets created. Plus alot of the old artists who used to produce fetish material for this fetish had to quit for one reason or another, ie jobs, family, ect. because alot of people just don't understand the fetish, because its not considered "normal".

I remember telling my wife about my fetish. Back then she had only been my girlfriend. She seemed a bit confused at first but I showed her some of the things I was in to. She admitted to not being able to understand it, but she realized it wasn't harmful in any way and she learned to accept it. She doesn't get into the same things I get into, but we both respect each others fetishes.

So in conclusion, alot of artists feel like they need to be secretive when it comes to there fetish artistry. I know that I am. I don't want to post any of my stuff on deviant art on my normal account for fear someone of my family might find it. Its a strange line us artists take when creating material for the community. We ride a very thin grey line of whats acceptable and whats not, while at the same time constantly afraid that one of our family members might stumble upon something we're drawing or writing. I don't have that fear as much anymore since I live with my wife and kids now, but I do still get scared when my sister starts using my computer every once in a while. Afraid she might open my "comics" folder on my D drive and dive into the Bojay folder, lol.

Why not just use a secondary hard drive on a different operating system built into the very same computer, then post a password luck on the regression/progression account. As far as Deviantart goes use a name you can become popular for by those topics, one no one else will know you by, one that you only use on your password lucked account. I did all the above a long time ago and never stopped using my name in relation to age regression ever sense. Yet no one in my real life knows jack. This is why I was not afraid to start Devianarts first age regression/anime/female only group ChibiRegeneration.

Or at least stop the poster from even considering his brash request

No, you should avoid that at all costs. Do talk to anybody, don't go anywhere. The consequences could be disastrous!
