Update on Font of Fertility

Hey folks!

Just wanted to keep you all updated on how things are progressing. There will be a Tuesday Update this week with more broader details and updates, but for specifically Font of Fertility:

Chapters 31-33 BETA and Chapters 34-36 ALPHA have now been re-posted and are accessible to the proper Patron tiers again. I am now starting on a Chapter (37), which will release ASAP along with Chapter 34 Beta.

As I've mentioned before, the edits to FoF were a preemptive move because of continuing Patreon ToS checks - FoF never got flagged for anything, but it was in enough of a grey area that I didn't want to risk this platform and community suddenly getting ripped out from under us.

Stacey and Lindsey were the two characters throwing the the story into the 'grey zone' even after my early-2023 revisions. Here are my current notes for the two characters, and how you can expect them to be written moving forward.

STACEY WILDE: Is still the goddaughter of Jerry’s parents, but her parents passed away shortly after she graduated from high school instead of earlier in life. Since her only other family lived across the country, the Grants took her in for the summer and she has an open invitation to visit whenever she needs or wants, especially for holidays. She is in her sophomore year at Cardinal, two years older than Jerry and Lauren, one year younger than Lindsey and Angie

LINDSEY PARKER: Is now the longtime next-door neighbour of the Baxleys. She grew up in a single-parent household for most of her life (just an absentee, workaholic father) and had to mature quickly to take care of herself. The Baxleys, worried about her, gave her a job babysitting Lauren and used that to be able to check in on her and give her a sense of responsibility. While she was in high school her father started travelling even more for work, relying on the Baxleys to check in on her even more. This led to a slight abandonment issue for Lindsey, developing into her rebellious and experimental streak in her later years of high school while still maintaining her grades. She hasn’t seen her father since the week after her high school graduation when he moved to the EU for a new job in finance. The Baxleys, horrified at her being pretty much abandoned to her own devices with no guidance other than a monthly allowance, took her in until she went off to college and make sure to invite her back for every holiday.

The Plan Moving Forward

Other than continuing the story, from this point on I will be taking time between other releases to go back and edit the old chapters, starting from the earliest and moving forward. I'll release them here on Patreon in new bundles. When they are done I will likely push the new versions to Literotica as well.

How I Feel About the Changes

It needed to happen. Not just for ToS purposes, but because if I ever get to a point where I want to convert FoF into a publishable story to reach the eBook reader market, these same changes would need to be made anyways. Do I wish the story was still the same as it was when I first started it back in 2015? Maybe, sometimes. But I also don't miss it. Taboo content like that has it's ups and downs, but looking back at some of the decisions I made it wasn't because the characters HAD to be who they were, it was because I was pandering to the large Literotica readerbase and because those are easy relationships to write about while keeping tension in the story. Lauren/Lindsey and Jerry/Stacey are only going to get more complicated, and more fun to write as I find better ways to put realistic tension into the early chapters of the story.

That's all for now, I'm off to actually WRITE some FoF instead of editing!

Cheers,
~Break.
