Questions & Answers

To be included in this archive, there are a few guidelines, some are even requirements!

• The main character(s) of the story should include one or more boys aged about 6 to 16 years (preferably between 8 and 14 years).
• This is a homo-erotic site, thus the relation must be man-boy or boy-boy, or Femdom stories (woman or girl dominating a boy).
• All story topics are welcome, such as pure consensual man-boy love stories, boy-slave stories, boarding and reform school stories, bdsm-relations etc.
• The story may include almost any sexual action, humiliation, or torture. (NB: In real life I do NOT condone any of these actions, let that be clear!), but:
  • Absolutely no snuff, that is anything involving the murder of one of the characters during a sexual act.
  • I don't like boys having sex with animals, thus if that is the main topic of a story, I don't publish it (limited bestiality in a story is ok).
  • Watersport stories (piss-stories) is ok, but scat only when it is very limited and not a main topic of the story.
  Thus: no snuff, bestiality, or scat stories
• No fantasies about celebrities, thus do not use the name of real celebrities in your story.
• No setting in WW II concentration camps or comparable real institutions.
• No emphasis on religion, religious symbols and tradition and biblical figures.
• The story must have a "real" story line & plot.
• Long, and very long, stories in multiple chapters are welcome.
• I like happy endings!

In fact, the main condition for a story to be included in this collection is simply the fact that I have to like the story.

Q: Is there a way to submit stories anonymously?

A: The only way to send stories is by e-mail. To do that anonymously, you have two options:

• Take a free Hushmail account (www.hushmail.com) - Hushmail is secure and does not include your IP address in the e-mail message, as most other services do.
• Take a Yahoo, Hotmail or whatever free account, do not enter personal information (or enter fake info), and do not send your mail from your home, but always from a free hotspot, an internet café, with a pre-paid hotspot service, or else where you have internet access without any registration.

Q: Can I give anonymous feedback

A: Yes you can. Use the feedback form (click here). Filling in your e-mail is only an option. if you want to stay anonymous, don't give your e-mail. However, if you want an answer, you have to provide your e-mail of course.

Q: Do I have to pay for reading?

A: These stories are free for you to enjoy. However, the equipment and bandwidth costs for ASSTR are not cheap. Please help keep ASSTR running by making a donation (see website how to donate anonymously).

Q: Are these stories child pornography?

A: The laws is different in the various countries. Most countries have free speech, so written descriptions are legal. These are the law texts I could find:

USA:
As defined in 47 U.S.C. 2256: "child pornography" means any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture, whether made or produced by electronic, mechanical, or other means, of sexually explicit conduct, where:
(A) the production of such visual depiction involves the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct;
(B) such visual depiction is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct;
(C) such visual depiction has been created, adapted, or modified to appear that an identifiable minor is engaging in sexually explicit conduct; or
(D) such visual depiction is advertised, promoted, presented, described, or distributed in such a manner that conveys the impression that the material is or contains a visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

The stories on PZA are TEXT only and thus according to U.S. law NO child pornography.

United Kingdom:
1) It is an offence for a person–
(a) to take, or permit to be taken, any indecent photograph of a child (meaning in this Act a person under the age of 16); or
(b) to distribute or show such indecent photographs; or
(c) to have in his possession such indecent photographs, with a view to their being distributed or shown by himself or others; or
(d) to publish or cause to be published any advertisement likely to be understood as conveying that the advertiser distributes or shows such indecent photographs or intends to do so
etc. (later extended to include "pseudo-photographs".

The stories on PZA are TEXT only and thus according to British law NO child pornography.

The Netherlands:
Kinderpornografie is volgens het Wetboek van Strafrecht (artikel 240b) '…iedere afbeelding – of gegevensdrager die een afbeelding bevat – van een seksuele gedraging waarbij iemand, die kennelijk de leeftijd van achttien jaar nog niet heeft bereikt, is betrokken of schijnbaar betrokken is'.

De verhalen op PZA zijn alleen TEKST en daarom volgens de Nederlandse wet GEEN kinderpornografie..

In the following country the stories on PZA can or will be considered als child pornography.

Canada:
163.1 (1) In this section, "child pornography" means

(a) a photographic, film, video or other visual representation, whether or not it was made by electronic or mechanical means,
(i) that shows a person who is or is depicted as being under the age of eighteen years and is engaged in or is depicted as engaged in explicit sexual activity, or
(ii) the dominant characteristic of which is the depiction, for a sexual purpose, of a sexual organ or the anal region of a person under the age of eighteen years; or
(b) any written material or visual representation that advocates or counsels sexual activity with a person under the age of eighteen years that would be an offence under this Act.

Germany:
Kinderpornografisch sind pornografische Schriften (§ 11 Abs. 3 Strafgesetzbuch), wenn sie den sexuellen Missbrauch von Kindern zum Gegenstand haben (§ 184 Abs. 3 Strafgesetzbuch). Geben sie ein tatsächliches oder wirklichkeitsnahes Geschehen wieder, ist zudem der Besitz bzw. die Besitzverschaffung gemäß § 184 Abs. 5 Strafgesetzbuch unter Strafe gestellt. Darüber hinaus ist in diesen Fällen auch die höhere Strafandrohung des § 184 Abs. 4 Strafgesetzbuch gegeben. Ein Kind ist eine Person unter vierzehn Jahren.

§ 11 Abs. 3 Strafgesetzbuch: Begriff "Schrift"
Den Schriften stehen Ton- und Bildträger, Datenspeicher, Abbildungen und andere Darstellungen in denjenigen Vorschriften gleich, die auf diesen Absatz verweisen.

I am not sure if texts belong to "Schrift" according to the German law.
