Cross-post from my archive.

Summary: Seiran helps Ryuuki relax from his responsibilities. Written for Porn Battle, with the prompt: Seiran/Ryuuki, Domination/submission, “If things had gone as they should…if Seien had been my Lord…” (Yes, it's rather circular for me to write it; oh well.)
Meta: Porn with Characterization, I-4, D/s
Wordcount: 406
Notes: Contains consensual sibling incest.
"Come here, Ryuuki." Seiran held his hand out, and the command in his voice made Ryuuki's breath catch.

I've talked to my publisher in the past about fanfic, and their official line is to discourage it. Since DAW is a subsidiary of Penguin, and Penguin is listed as one of the "partners" on the Fanlib site, I find myself feeling a bit skeptical about their claims.
And so far, I'm not aware of a single author who has been contacted by their publisher with a request to release the rights for a project like this. It's possible this has happened and I just haven't heard about it, but the whole thing makes me wince.
Not that it's likely to affect me personally. Somehow I don't see goblin fanfic catching on any time soon ;-)

And permission from the film companies to post the pics? If you're going to boast about your partners giving you permission, then either you have to limit what you do to that very narrow group where you have permission, or you need to acknowledge that the vast majority of what you're posting doesn't have any legal protection or permission whatsoever.
My guess is that it's going to explode big. How much of the resulting debris will be public I couldn't say.

What this actually means for the current site content is anyone's guess.
