Uncensored versions?
I know I mentioned I've had to make changes (minor ones) in the past to publish on Literotica. I'm just now hitting a point where I'm about to write something that I have to be careful around for Literotica, and I had a question come to me.
For those of you who don't know, the rules for Literotica's content can be found here: https://www.literotica.com/resources/content-guidelines. For the most part, I'm okay with them. I don't really like the ideas of sexualized death, I'm not big into Bestiality (non-human seems to be categized differently). I'm not into Sexualized maiming/amputation/circumcision. I don't plan on promoting or glorifying hate, though I worry that if I present hate for the purpose of exploring/criticizing it, it will be rejected for this reason. But I feel like there are things I would like to write that could get caught in those guidelines that shouldn't be.
Examples! Hypnotherapist is about to have a scene where a female client discusses early life trauma and how it affected her, before... you know... RECEIVING HELP. I feel like I'll have to censor that to publish it on Literoatica. While I'm not going to right Bestiality, non-human sex is definitely on the table. Technically all the sex with elves is "non-human" in A Hero's Rebirth. I have plans for Werewolves, Vampires, Fantasy races, space races, and who knows what else (might take a while to get there). I don't know how far I am going to push on age things, because if I write a historical fiction/fantasy... I hate to break it to you, but being eighteen was not a requirement in the Dark ages, and even more recently. My own grandmother eloped and was married at 16. Technically, I couldn't write the story of my own grandmother on Literotica, because it would be listed as Pedophilia.
I can include tags for anything I do that goes against Literotica, and could even do a "Patreon Uncensored version" and "Literotica Approved Version" when I post them here. Or if you just want to see what I plan on publishing on Literotica, I won't bother writing things that wouldn't be approved there.
Thoughts?

I may read the uncensored versions if you upload them. But if there are no major changes or if having two versions for each story adds significant work, then I would prefer your time to be spent on something else.
I would like tags for uncensored versions, if you do upload them
Well, the poll is still young, but with 1/5 of my current Patrons voting, it's looking very much like uncensored is winning. Got me curious if I could reconstruct the only chapter I completed and had to do anything significant to... The first chapter of What Happens in The Dark. Good news, using Google Docs version control, I was able to go back and make a copy of what it was before I submitted the first time, when it was rejected and I had to change it. Doing a "Compare" to the version of What Happens in the Dark that thegoofyproofyreader had done some edits on, to try and get an edited "this is what it should have been". It will be my first "uncensored" story, and I'll likely have it ready and up tomorrow. Thanks for actively voting!
I’m down with whatever is the least work for you. I love the stories, esp hero’s rebirth and I’m good with whatever makes you the most happy.
I think id enjoy you uncensored stuff so il go with that option, also have you gave any thought to posting your uncensored stuff on storiesonline.net and ao3 think they have less restrictions than literotica and might grow your fanbase
Thought about it. Might do it eventually, especially once I have... you know, maybe at least one story that has completed. I feel bad trying to extend my reach too much before I have a single completed storyline to my name.
Since you will need to write a censored version, I am all for having you present us with your original uncensored version along with a (possibly later) posting of the "Safe for LitE" version. It would be interesting to see the differences. If people prefer not reading the uncensored, they would have the LitE version here as well.
