Eventually this page will serve as a comprehensive writing guide to Piper’s Domain. Right now it is a work in progress and you are free to email Piper with suggested additions or changes. Click on a question to see the response.
What do the story tags mean?
We use a limited number of tags to convey the most important information. The tags below are the only ones that we use, although more may be added if necessary.
You can search for tags using the search box. Gender tags are rarely used alone unless there is a prolonged masturbation scene or something similar. Instead, gender tags are paired to show sexual partners. For example, if a man has sex with a teen girl, the story would have a "Mf" tag. A "+" is used to indicate more than one of the preceding gender. For example, if a man has sex with multiple teen girls at once, the story would have a "Mf+" tag, but if multiple men have sex with one teen girl, the story would have a "M+f" tag. Unlike some websites, we do not pair more than two gender tags if there is an orgy so you would never see a tag like "MFg" if a man and a woman have sex with a young girl. Instead, the tags would be broken out as "MF; Mg; Fg" as long as each of those is applicable. This policy makes it easier to search for pairings and helps prevent misleading tags. Similarly, male tags are always listed first so that there are less possible combinations of tags.
Please note that right now the tags are not quite unified across our older stories. Some stories have extra tags that will be removed, and some are spelled differently that will be replaced.

If you already have an idea in mind, you can jump to the next section. If not, try using the nifty story generator to the right. You can refresh this page as much as you want until you find a set of elements that inspires you. Even if you have a general idea, this tool can help you add more layers to your story and make it even better. Also check out the TVTropes Story Generator to flesh out the idea, particularly if you still need inspiration for your Villain, Setting, Plot, or Narrative/Characterization Devices.
Everyone has their own strategy for planning and you will need to experiment to find the approach that works best for you. Some writers plan out their entire story meticulously before even starting to write. This can be helpful, especially for complex stories, but it may take some of the thrill out of writing. At the bare minimum you should have an idea of how the story starts and ends, as well as any twists that affect the plot of the story. This can change as you write, but having a direction in mind will keep you focused while writing.
I have an idea, but how do I approach actually writing it out?
Once you have a basic plan, just start writing without reading back over what you have written. Every story begins with a first draft and it is easy to edit once you have something to work with, no matter how rough it is. If you want any help, try reaching out to some of our other writers.
How do I edit my draft?
When you are done with your rough draft, you will probably see changes to make the next time you read through it. Try reading through the story (and making changes) two or three times to catch typos and make sure you are happy with the story. If you want another opinion, you can email Piper. Also, it is important to make sure your story does not break any rules before you send it in:
How do I submit my story to the Domain?
Send in your story using the form on the contribute page. Do not email the story to Piper directly. If the form does not work for you (or if you do not see your story in the next update) then send Piper an email to ask if he received your story. The submission form usually works but some writers have had problems with it before.
What references can I use in writing stories in this genre?

What is a challenge?
Challenges consist of themes or subjects for writers to center a story on. There is always an active challenge, which is replaced every couple of months. Anyone can submit an idea for a challenge by sending an email to Piper or leaving a comment. The reward for completing a challenge is a badge by the writer's pen name. Unlike contest badges, a writer can only earn one challenge badge, but of course a writer is free to complete multiple challenges. Also unlike contests, writers are not competing for the prize. Every writer who completes a challenge will earn a badge. If a challenge changes but the writer submits an appropriate story within a reasonable time, the writer can still earn the badge. The challenge can be found in the menu on every page, but it is also reproduced below.

How do I write about young characters?
When writing about young characters, the most important thing to keep in mind is just that: they are young. While writing, or at least when you go back through to edit, ask yourself whether a person at that age would say something in that way or behave in that way. Speech is particularly important. Using your impressive vocabulary is good for story details but make sure that a character's dialogue is age-appropriate and sounds conversational rather than formal.
Do not forget that this is fetish writing. Readers are coming here for stories about underage characters so it is important to focus on that element. Dialogue and behavior are important to make your character believable but your readers want you to paint a picture. Describe not only what your characters are wearing but also their bodies. If your characters are in puberty, describe how they have developed. If they are prepubescent, draw attention to their flat chests and skinny waists. Also, because this is fetish writing, you probably should not mention their bodies once and then stop. If a girl puts on a shirt, describe how it stretches across her chest. If she later crosses her arms, mention her chest again, whether she is old enough to have breasts or not. All the readers here want stories about underaged characters, so do not gloss over their bodies' development, mention it often.
How do I decide the roles of the characters?
We do not have any rules about who should be the dominant in your story and who should be the submissive. Adults are commonly the doms, which on the Domain usually means they use mind control on the kids. Frequently that makes the most sense because younger children at least are not sexually aware (or dominant) enough to believably assert control over an adult. You can check out the section above for a bit more on keeping younger characters believable. However, we have many great stories in which the underage character(s) control either an adult or their peers. For that reason, it is probably best not to set out in advance "I will write a story in which a girl hypnotizes a man." Instead, brainstorm plot ideas that seem fun to write. Once you have a plot you can figure out how to frame the character motivations so that the characters will be convincing. Just make sure you mention enough of the character motivation in the story so that the reader understands why a character is acting in a certain way.
How do I keep my story writing secret?
Sadly, a lot of people you know would like you a little less if they knew you were writing stories in this genre. To avoid any awkward questions, you can follow this advice (if you are using a Windows PC) in order to hide your stories. If my advice sounds too paranoid, you can just keep everything on a flash drive, unencrypted, and hide the flash drive somewhere safe.
