《My Taboo Disease》1/21/17 "Why Would You Write This?"
Advertisement
As I mentioned previously, I started writing this story for my friends and family, to better help them understand why I have been like I have been and to help them get a grasp on what's going on medically. Basically, to keep people up to date. Today I got an innocent enough question, "why would you make this public? Isn't it kind of a...private problem?" BINGO! Thank you miss for asking this!
Why yes, it is a very private problem, it's about my vagina for God's sake! But here's a few reasons why I put this out there.
For one, I did this for myself. If you read this whole thing, you know how long I kept this a secret. Eight years to be exact. Eight years of keeping this a "private" problem that nobody, and I mean nobody knew about. In my silence the shame I felt for my body was something no girl, no woman should ever feel. Writing about this, making it public is liberating. Letting go of the shame is liberating. Educating people and empowering women is liberating. Women online and women who I have known for years have reached out to me to thank me for being open about my condition, and shared their struggles with similar pain. It has made me feel normal again, like I'm not alone in this battle.
Which brings me to number two: I did this for other women. As women, as human beings we should feel free to go to our doctors and mothers and friends and tell them our problems without the flush of embarrassment showing on our faces. We should feel worthy of others being concerned for us, and worthy of medical attention and medical personnel's time. When something feels wrong, or different, or even interesting, we should feel the freedom to ask questions, because without questions there are no answers. And with no answers, there is no education, without education there is no empowerment...

As much as this was for women it was also equally for men. Men who want a better understanding of women's bodies, men who's girlfriends, wives, daughters, mothers, friends suffer from something similar. I hope that they can read this and get a glimps into their world, a better understanding of the emotion that comes along with a condition like this, and maybe (hopefully) it will help them help their partners.
So yeah, it's a private matter for sure, but I don't believe it has to be. I don't believe there is shame in talking about your body.

Stolen by the System
Lost. Vulnerable. Alone. What would you sacrifice to get home? Kidnapped on the cusp of graduation, Jake is dumped into a deadly world of levels and magic. His dreams shattered again, he’s left with a choice: fight or die – and Death won’t let him go that easily. A savage wolf, a horrific secret, and an abhorrent quest make day one the second worst day of his life. Whatever bastard is pulling the strings is due one hell of a reckoning. On the plus side, there’s magic, and Jake’s got the stats to master it. Spells not included, but, hey, creating spells and programming are basically the same thing, right? At least Spellcrafting is slightly less suicidal than trying to stop the encroaching dungeon spawn threat. Because why wouldn’t there be an apocalypse in progress. All the more reason to find his way back fast. Unfortunately, the path home leads right into the heart of danger. Fighting monsters, dungeon delving, solving puzzles – whatever it takes, Jake is finding his way home. He’ll need allies. Powerful allies, like a trainee ranger who struggles to find her hairbrush. Pointy ears, executive dysfunction, and a perilously gutsy moral compass – what more could one want in a Companion? Alas, beggars can’t be choosers. He needs every edge he can get. Going home means finishing his quest. That quest. The quest that doesn’t deserve completion. Save your father, save the world. Update Schedule: Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Temporarily ad hoc.

This story is abandoned and has not been authorized for distribution on any sites but RoyalRoad. Given the Gamer ability after shattering a crystal inside a game, Jon's world is upturned as he is thrown into a life he considered fantasy. Making new enemies and encountering a god, he cannot escape the quest which is forced on him. Different worlds and different situations, can he come out on top? He's neither perfect nor a saint, he is Jon. Welcome to Gamer. This has been dropped, I didn't like the way I forced a few plotpoints and I lost my notes on the story itself. Read below if you want to be spoilered. As far as I recall, he would change race into a higher human after using a spell to overload his mana repeatably until his body forcibly adapts, he would train up his rift usage spell with some better targets than God's Realm because he keeps hitting his stats limit until the cost lowers enough that he can actually grind it. His world is being invaded by multiple worlds, so the god had many backup plans where a lot of people went into their own fantasy settings and came back to defend Earth. Jon never is the strongest one out there, he has to keep grinding and grinding before he gets stronger than the other heroes, and at that point the invasion is nearing the final stretch. Jon's two biggest advantages is that he can keep grinding without hitting a cap he can't evolve, and that even when he is eventually killed. He would have respawned in the nearest 'Safe Zone' after dropping a level and everything he did to gain that level. I also had a bunch of ideas for mini-arcs where he would play in multiple worlds in multiple situations, not that great of an idea in retrospect.
