So, how can I create a perfectly fine novel where there's a harem, but no suggestive themes? Like, there can be some PDA, but not a lot...
Oof... family friendly harem? That's a bit of an oxymoron, and I'm not really even joking.So, how can I create a perfectly fine novel where there's a harem, but no suggestive themes? Like, there can be some PDA, but not a lot...
Yeah, going by your requirements of "family-friendly", just don't bother writing a harem.So, how can I create a perfectly fine novel where there's a harem, but no suggestive themes? Like, there can be some PDA, but not a lot...
I mean...its not hard to do tho. Just dont write sex scenes. Keep it to shit like hand holding and a kiss or two. Thats what most jap harems do anyway. Cut out the fanservice and write a serious romance with the girls and you're fine.Yeah, going by your requirements of "family-friendly", just don't bother writing a harem.
I second thisJust dont write sex scenes. Keep it to shit like hand holding and a kiss or two.
I disagree. There are many wonderful books I consider family friendly - just not in genres like harems.Really hard to write any family friendly fiction. This is because family friendly fiction is a puritan social construct.
The devil is in the details. Books is not a family friendly medium.

LOL, a harem that cover both dudes and chicks, who tried to kill each other to get the protagonist.Watch this:
Kids have children's books. But then they hit HS at 13, and the libraries are filled with mature content that wouldn't be family friendly.I disagree. There are many wonderful books I consider family friendly - just not in genres like harems.
And I don't see the need to be so salty about family friendly media. You want kids to have interesting appropriate things to read for their age, and then you have adults like me that prefer not to read stories with sexual content.
Well depends on where you look - at that age, there are things like Fablehaven, Percy Jackson, Reckoners, and a number of interesting pieces of fantasy and science fiction that aren't too harsh.Kids have children's books. But then they hit HS at 13, and the libraries are filled with mature content that wouldn't be family friendly.
Unless you count the hungers game as family friendly. Any content that has Guns, alcohol, drugs, suicide, blood, gore, shocking content all immediately ceases to be family friendly.
My opinion on this is very complex for an important reason - I am descended from Latter-day Saints in early Utah who practiced polygamy. While this is often depicted by popular culture as nothing but the highest of evils, and often referred to as a harem, from my study of historical sources and reading what they thought on the matter - both the records of men and women involved in it, I have come to some interesting conclusions.don't think a family friendly harem is realistic. Especially if you're gonna write the "how" of how they all came to be together....
