I know, I know, but…

Okay, so it looks like things have come to an ending with both Crystal’s StorySite and FictionMania. Both have stopped accepting new submissions, and in some cases have turned off critical functions such as forum posting.

I have to say in some ways I’m relieved. People can calm down now and allow things to settle some. But it is up in the air as to whether Crystal’s StorySite will continue as it is. FictionMania has made their position clear (in their own way.)

For those of you who aren’t current on the flamewar, basically it comes to one person’s stories.

So now we have a few alternatives. Go to a pay site like TGFiction, stay with sites like BigCloset and TopShelf and Stardust, create your own archive of stories and post them all there. And this is a very sad state of affairs indeed.

I’m sad things have come to this. I’m sad that problems have caused this fracture. My offer to host stories for authors who are leaving those sites still stands. This will remain a free site. I will even build a new site, complete with URL to host others stories if there is enough call for this.

I’m not really happy about all this, but there’s not a lot I can do. I’ve made my opinion plain as I can, and I stand by it.

Well, things have become confrontational on the message boards of both Crystal’s site and FictionMania. It’s starting to bleed over to TopShelf too, but hopefully it won’t reach there.

The problem is with a gentleman by the name of “Noah Vail” (a cute pun on “no avail”). He wrote several stories featuring an 8 year old being taken by adults in a sexual manner while dressed as a little girl.

The controversy’s shape is about “what is censorship”? There are a lot of people on both sites that want his stories removed posthaste, because they promote kiddie porn. They deal with sex situations with minor children. That is an accurate definition of the problem.

My take on it all? I don’t really have one. You see, I believe deeply in “live and let live”. While I do feel that both FictionMania and Crystal’s should stand by their posted Terms of Service and delete the stories (for promoting illegal acts, which is on their terms of service), I don’t think they should be removed from the Internet.

Let’s be rational. People are going to write stories that fit their perversions and nothing and no one is going to stop them. Him writing this for his own use is fine. Him sharing it with others is also fine. I don’t agree with the content at all, nor do I get aroused by the thought of a 10 year old having sex, but in America speech is protected.

He’s going to advocate that kind of activity, fine. He may do so. I don’t have to read it. The sites he has posted them on have Terms of Service that explicitly prohibit illegal acts, and as such they should stand by it and remove the stories. If they did not have such in their TOS, I wouldn’t ask them to remove the stories.

I can exercise my option and “change the channel” so as not to read what I find offensive.

Point in fact, I started reading one of the stories, just to see what was objectionable. I saw “my mother dressed me as a girl at 8 years old for her Johns” in the first sentence, and that was enough for me. I closed the window.

Let him write it, let him post it to sites that do not have clauses about no illegal activities. I’m fine with that. I don’t have to read it. It is as simple as that.

Well, it looks like there aren’t any more Chasti-Permalock stories I can archive here. I found them all and now all of them are posted. So, thing have to change now.

I have three stories that are making in the back of my mind, and they will be finished, edited and up soon. They are one of each series, Sissy, Samantha and Mindy.

So, now back to the regularly scheduled stories.

But I’m also busy getting my OTHER site and moving it. So things will slow here. I’m not abandoning you all, but I’m not going to post as often here. Sorry about that.

I still love you all, and plan to continue this site. Don’t fret, things are wonderful, and I am very happy.

Sorry to have been missing so long, but my altar-ego (and I spelled it that way on purpose LOL) is in the process of moving his entire site to Wordpress, and that’s taking time. Time to do the coding, time to tweak things, time to make sure it all works right and so on. So, it’s probably going to be a bit before I get more original content up here.

I will try to code in more ChastiPermalock stories and set them up to post automagically.

Stay patient and be kind to each other.

Well, things have been up and down here for us in Chez Phillip.

We had some problems that mandated that I be off the Internet for some time. I was able to post stories since I had scheduled them to go up at regular intervals (thank you Wordpress!) and so I was able to keep entertaining you all. But I wasn’t able to do my work here like I wanted to do.

I have a new Roundup waiting to be finished out and posted, but I only have one link on there as of now. So let me get a few more of interest to you and it will be up to entertain you all as you have come to love.

The other thing you will notice is this: at the top of every post when you look at that post and NOT the index pages (where you can see the comments and vote box on those posts) you will notice something new.

In between the breadcrumb navigation and the title, there is a CLIGS shortcode URL for every post. This is so you can copy it and share it with others or put it in your own personal database of stories. I’m trying to make my site a bit more friendly and accessible to others, and one criticism I got was that they didn’t have a URL they could copy. Now you do.

I hope you all like it, and don’t forget about the Sissy Farm!

(I have made comments screened on this post. Don’t be afraid to post your thoughts, only you and I will see them.)

If you haven’t figured this out by now, you REALLY need to get a clue; I’m transgendered. Therefore you would think that I would be interested in the LGBT issues that come up. Things like “can transitioned people get healthcare?” “Will marriages that were made before a sex change still be valid afterward?” “Can a non-gay author write a good book about being gay?” one would think I would be concerned about, but I’m just not.
