    I’m assured that fics like No Gods, No Masters and The Place Where We Can Stop Running have three-dimensional characters but honestly I don’t buy it. All of the interesting science fiction themes are either detailed in an unbelievable manner or outright forbidden. Rule 11 makes it so you cannot write stories with children in it, nor breeding or having kids or anything. Even fucking Marc Laidlaw included that in Half Life 2 and we’re supposed to completely ignore it???

    Space communism where there are no politics makes for incredibly boring aliens with no conflict or depth, unsurprisingly

      I actually appreciate that rule for a kink setting. I think people like Elon Musk who sexualise breeding are disgusting and one step removed from pedophiles. And if you allow child characters in your smut, those people will try to infiltrate your community. Got any other examples?
