I may write it, should the inspiration come upon me. If I do, I feel confident the appropriate coding on the story will keep you from cracking it open and taking offense

A few points to consider:

1) Already have a professional career.

2) Karma is a polluting or sweetening of the waters we must all swim in rather than the common misconception of "do a bad deed, it nails you in the ass later." If, of course, you believe in Karma. I don't.

3) I would venture to say that the vast majority of writers here do not use their real names. I'm not Kallie Thomas--are you Cleo671?

4) If what you say is actually true, then every writer here, whether they pen stories with 13 year olds or 30 year olds, is ripe for the title "pornographer" and "perv," and would suffer for their writing. But I look at it this way--Roman Polanski can drug and rape a 13 year old, flee punishment, and still be heralded as one of the greats, still see amazing successes in his career. And if he can do that, I can likely pen a few stories with 14 year old subjects and be A-okay, especially considering I do deal in matters of fiction.
