Number 1 on Treading

[L1aei]

I've just realised that even after posting on this thread I have zero clue of what the context of GB means. Getting old isn't fun...

(•̅灬•̅ )

Can someone explain please?

You're not asking for the meaning but the context, right? In what manner? Like how it got here or why it is popular or what?

 

[Omarfaruq]

I'd contest that one because I haven't a clue how that is offensive and there is the fact you don't know how many more warnings you'll get before action is taken; keep in mind that if the first made no sense, keeping your nose clean doesn't mean you won't receive another odd curveball.

Now that's concerning ?

 

[Eldoria]

That's it. Gender bender. GB. Read a load of stories about that. Some are pretty popular. Thank you! ( ಠ ͜ʖರೃ)

I told you.... you should follow your ninja way.

You know, the OP is going to wonder WTF happened when they come back to the forums and find a couple of dozen notifications in this thread waiting for them.

I am a fan of your story. There must be more people like me who likes depression.
Not being disrespectful, I am fan of your fiction. I just like stories with a serious atmosphere.

"There must be more people like me who likes depression"

Lmao, that's a sentence to stumble upon in the wild.
I don't know if there's people that actually enjoy depression.

And as someone that's had chronic depression for over 20 years, I know I don't enjoy it, personally.

Also, misleading title. I came here expecting works about professional swimmers treading water.

 

[L1aei]

Yes GB... Yes....very interesting to write about....yes..hmm... (´◉◞౪◟◉)

(Not really. Has some good stories though.)

It can be due to a single challenge. You know that piece of writer's advice on swapping the gender of the protagonist and inspecting whether that changes the story at all? It's usually meant to imply writers should focus more on the person, not their sex. But when it comes to GB content, that's sort of difficult to avoid.

I didn’t mean depression that way—I know I worded that poorly, but right after that, I said I like stories with a heavy atmosphere. You should have understood that by reading the next lines ?.

 

[Omarfaruq]

Did you mean stories with strong emotions? Like horror?

Yessssss!!!

Honestly... my work is not about depression. My work is more about the love of a mother who does not want to pass on her past trauma to her little daughter even though the world is still dark. The little daughter is truly innocent.

If you read from the little daughter's POV... you will know how innocent the little daughter is and how great the mother's love and sacrifice are to protect her daughter's innocence.

I don't want my work to be seen as a dark, traumatic work... I want to shine a candle in the darkness.

But this topic has deviated from this thread. I don't want to be accused of covert promotion or accused of hijacking this thread.

So I return it to the thread owner. Sorry, thread owner.

Well, it’s kind of depressing… oh, sorry. I didn’t mean any disrespect; I was just sharing how I felt after reading your story.

I choose to believe what you actually said, and I even commemorated it in song;

Hello depression my old friend

It seems like it is just you and me again

Because you are softly creeping

Weaving your tendrils while I'm sleeping

Giving me the nightmares that haunt my dreams

Still remains within my PTSD

How I missed the voices in my head

The meds not able to send them to bed

Yet we still remain, wishing for the sounds of silence

Oh I know. I can still point and laugh at your questionable choice of phrasing, though.
I'm legally allowed to bully people with humorous criticism.

How I missed the voices in my head

I'm glad depression doesn't actually give you schizophrenia.

yeah not usually,

was a bit of a self insert here... maybe a bit much tbh. I was fighting with my own mind a lot for while. Much better these days.

GB is popular as long as you combine it with ecchi and yuri.

Life is full of ups and downs; depression is temporary.

Questionable choice of phrasing, excuse me?"

 

[Paul__Michaels]

MtF GB is more popular because of a fetish. This is one way to get popular, yes.

I think it's called catering to audience

"I didn’t mean depression that way—I know I worded that poorly"

You said it yourself? you worded it poorly? therefore questionable phrasing cause it was worded poorly?
You're excused.

Hmm… now that I think about it, it really is questionable. Thanks for pointing it out, and sorry for my arrogance—it's just my puberty hormones.

It's fine, all memes here.
I remember being a teenager once, it was unpleasant, so I can understand.

Why are you treading on the number 1? It's rude to step on others' books.
