Okay, I'm planning out the fic I might write for next year's original big bang, and I'm going to write the story involving a couple of people getting superpowers through a set of inheritible nanomachines that's only compatible with people who have certain genetic backgrounds.

People in this world come in three subspecies - gladiators, Families and baseline humans. I want all gladiators to be compatible with the nanomachines, and I know that one of the things that makes them gladiators is a bunch of neanderthal gene fragments.

So, is it too faily to explicitly state that the compatibility factor is certain neanderthal gene fragments, given that this means only people with European ancestry qualify?

So, I'm working on the story where Terese realises that Kim's acting more like a pleasure slave than Tonio does. Kim refers to watching Firefly for the first time in one of the early scenes, and I realised that it's quite different in their world.

Figured that since I'd introduced the Scotts and their background was an interesting example of how strange the Families can get I'd talk about them.

I've written roughly 12000 words of the wedding night between a character who I'm sure is transgendered in some way and the woman who owns him in his viewpoint, and I'm still not sure if I should post it. The character in question was male assigned at birth, ids as male and likes the submissive role that his Family prescribes for men, but he isn't comfortable in his own body. He wants to have hormone treatments to grow breasts and surgery to have his penis and testicles removed - I'm not sure if he wants reconstructive surgery to give him female genitals, and neither is he. The woman's first reaction when she finds out a bit about his issues is to ask if he thinks he should have been born female, and her final conclusion is that he needs to have therapy until he can define what changes he needs to make to feel comfortable in his body.

Is this offensive or hurtful?

I didn't think about transpeople in Erde until recently, but since I have considered it now, I figured I should mention a bit about them.

( “Not likely. We haven’t really needed to use them since we moved in: Antoinette doesn’t have guests she doesn’t trust enough to treat as family.” Jasmine was slightly ahead of Rafiyah as they reached the door, so she held it open for the other woman. “This is...I guess you could call it the family room. We tend to spend the evenings here together.” As well as any other time they all wanted to be together. “I...if you wanted to maybe you could find somewhere to set up an embroidery project for the evenings?” )

Warning: Sexual slavery
Summary: The obligatory shopping trip
Feedback: Welcome, but keep the criticism constructive
This is the last part of Hilary I'd already posted elsewhere, anything else I post here will be new and posted at the same time as I post it everywhere else.

( “Thank you Julio, we’ll do that.” Armand was surprised at the offer, but he wasn’t stupid enough to refuse it. “Hilary, we need to get some sunscreen for you, and some lube; is there anything else you can think of that you need or want?” He wrapped his arm around Hilary’s waist to start him moving towards the pharmaceutical department as he spoke. )

Some more of Hilary, no specific warnings for this part, except perhaps for references to slavery.

( “Thank you. I’d like to introduce you to my new companion.” Armand returned her grip, using it to pull Antoinette forward as he turned towards his pleasure slave, only releasing her when she was facing the boy. “This is Hilary; Hilary, this is my younger sister Antoinette.” )

Title: Antoinette
Pairing: F/f
Rating: PG-13
Warning: implied sexual slavery, arranged marriages, non-traditional marriages
Word Count: approx 7,000
Summary: Armand suggests a way his sister Antoinette could heal the breach her first consorting created with their mother.
Feedback: Welcome as long as all criticism is constructive

( And he was right, if she could bring an alliance to the Family, even when she was already attached to Sarah, her mother would probably start to judge Sarah on her own merits, instead of as an obstacle to her plans for Antoinette. )
