Are there any ageplayers left?

There's a new series called Jessica by Hedgeh0g that features ageplay (a young woman being treated and spanked as a child). I'm not all that comfortable with it because it feels like the young woman is being coerced (due to finding herself in tough circumstances) into agreeing to take on the child role, rather than seeking that out for herself. But for those who like that kind of thing, it's on the "last loaded" page right now.

I would love to do a little age play. My personal fancy is to become Liz a 12-14 year old set in the southern US around the 1980s.

Sort of a reparenting or different upbringing type of thing. I have a partner who sometimes carries out the punishment as true to the time as possible. I'm not a fan over the top play. But, real life back a few years ago ... well, that's a different story.

"Hello Sampast! I think we all have an "inner child", but we all express it in different ways. I'll confess that I never did "get" ageplay. Early on, I figured out (perhaps wrongly?) that much of it was simply a plot device to get around site rules against child spanking stories. The fact that child spanking stories are perfectly OK here at the LSF, yet one doesn't see a lot of ageplay stories here, tends to lend support to that opinion, since there is no need to "get around" that type of censorship."

One thing I hate more than anything, when reading erotic fiction, is contrived intros explaining that the young lady in the story is 18 or 19 years old, when the context of the story shows that she's probably younger. The whole "she's 18-19" always ends up feeling tacked on to get around rules.

My approach, when submitting stories to sites, is "will this story be acceptable to this site, given the ages of the characters?" If the answer is "no", I simply don't submit that story to that site. I'm not going to change the ages of my characters if the age is important to the story. I'm not going to try to make it look like my 15-year-old character is 18, just to get a story "published". Because what happens to a 15YO might have very different results from the same thing happening to an 18-19YO.

Like Rik, I don't like when a story says a character is an adult just to get around the guidelines. I have a warped series in my head that I won't write/submit here because it doesn't fit the guidelines, and I don't want to just pretend the characters are older, because it just doesn't really work for me that way. To me personally, it doesn't cross any "squick" lines (and I have plenty of them) but it doesn't work here, so that one lives only in my head.
