Help Me With My Household problems. And Story Problems.
Current problems - Old TV - Sex story needing a home.
1) My television. This works perfectly well. But it's an old wide-screen TV, which means it is really huge and unwieldy. Not that I would generally be wielding it, I suppose. But it looks so old-fashioned compared to modern flat-screen TVs. Everyone else's TV is more modern than mine. People might be laughing at me behind my back.
Should I buy a new one? Or wait till mine goes wrong? If some old household appliance is working well, should you replace it just because you'd like a newer one? I've been puzzling about this for some time.
2) Sex story. I was looking at two stories I wrote for Skin Two , a fetish magazine. (Which closed for a while but has re-launched) I thought I like these stories but not many people had the chance to read them.
I used to have stories on my website, before I got bored with them all and removed them. So I thought I could just put these Skin Two stories on my website for people to read. Well, one of them anyway, which is better than the other. However, they were written for a fetish magazine and they're quite explicit. It was my intention, after receiving the commission for Skin Two, to write something that didn't avoid the subject of fetish and BDSM, but was quite cheerful. As opposed to gothic, gloomy or horrible. I thought I succeeded quite well. For stories which contain a lot of spanking, whipping and fucking, they're both rather cheerful.
But I'm not sure about putting these on my website because having written Lonely Werewolf Girl and Curse of the Wolf Girl I seem to have become a teen or young adult author - which I never meant to do, it just happened by accident, though I'm not complaining because it's worked out well - and if young teenagers are visiting my website, maybe I shouldn't be putting explicit sex stories there. Might get complaints from outraged parents. I suppose I could post them somewhere else, but I have a low opinion of sites I've seen with sex stories on them. And who's going to read them there anyway?
Perhaps I'm worrying about nothing. There is so much pornography easily available on the internet, maybe no one would care at all about my cheerful fetish stories. But I'm not sure about that.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

As to the tv, I'm sorry but I think it's mere foolishness and vanity to upgrade your tv when there's nothing wrong with your current one. I know they are cumbersome but really.....who wanders about the house carrying their television?? As for who's laughing behind your back, if it were me I'd be more concerned about those laughing behind my back that I became a "victim" of popular culture and bought a brand new "super-cool" tv when my old one worked just fine and there wasn't a thing wrong with it.
As to your other quandry, I don't think you ought to upload your stories to your website. As much as it pains me to say this as I dearly wish to read them, I agree that you have become an author that teens admire and I too am unsure of how this would portray you on your website but also specifically for a teen mind (and lets face it, their brains are still developing) I'm not sure its appropriate and that they'll see it for the literary qualities....do you get my drift??? Though I do want them to have a wider audience so I wonder if there's other sites that could have them or perhaps a link from your site so that at least it's not too explicit???
This issue causes me concern as on the one hand I desire to read them but on the other I'm an adult and can read and appreciate on a number of different levels.....frustrating!! Feel free to email me personally on lotus_blossom_cherry_bark@yahoo.com.au to discuss this further if you wish.
Cheerily,
