A few days late, but issue #5 of The Adjusters has been posted: The First Card , wherein there is further investigating of what happened to Marjorie Duquesne, and it's TV night at Daniel and Jenn's.
I've started writing #8 yesterday, and I'm looking forward to actually introducing Marjorie. The balls I've been tossing madly in the air for the past few months are going to start coming down pretty quickly.
Issue #4 of The Adjusters, entitled A Game of Control , has been posted, in which Jenn has an idea to try to sway Daniel to come with her to Austin.
Nothing to report on the writing front, except for the fact that I'm happily making progress on The Adjusters #6.
Here's a nice little writing mantra from Scott Myers.
I discovered a great writer this week, Night Writer, and particularly enjoyed his story Surrendering Sarah: "Sarah's husband is forced to surrender her first to a gang of bikers, then to people much worse. (nc, humil, M+/F, FF, Mdom, Fdom)." Not for the faint of heart, clearly.
That story is one of a class of stories of blackmail and generally someone being used against their will. Here are some classics of the genre, or just recent personal favorites of mine:
Finally, and this is not quite in the same vein as the stories above, I just ran across the following story today, and I liked it so much I will point you to it. it's sweet, in a dark and twisted way.
- Darkavenger's Grace's Hard Lessons and its sequel, Grace's Very Hard Lessons: The tale of Grace, caught embezzling money at her company, and blackmailed into sexual servitude.
- Hawaiian Heat's Better Than Prison: Similar idea, the tale of Sarah, who's set up for taking the fall in another embezzlement scheme at her company, and is blackmailed in turn. There is a husband in the mix, to add spice to the story. I'm not the only one sad that this story seemingly has been abandonned.
- Ashley Zacharias' The Whore-for-a-Day Game: "A wife with a penchant for playing games, designs a special role-playing game to breathe new life into her marriage. She will pay a severe penalty if she loses."
I've just posted issue #3 of The Adjusters entitled The Spirited Flesh , in which we follow Serena, Daniel, and Radhu as they check out The Spirited Flesh strip club where Marjorie has been spotted.
What happened in the past week? I've started to write The Adjusters #6 on March 1st, and it's going well. In case you're curious, my process here is that I start a new issue of that serial the first of every month, and write 400 words a day on it -- 2 pages of my notebook. Since each issue runs between 6000 and 8000 words, that's 15 to 20 days of work.
I've also made progress on The Ex Variations, which I described in my last post. I'm about 2000 words to go on it. For something that was supposed to be short and sweet, it's turning out, as almost everything I write does, somewhat long. Sigh.
I read Deogratias: A Tale of Rwanda by Stassen this week. Google Books has a preview. It's a very powerful graphic novel. Please read it.
I've also had a crazy idea about a story that takes place in the Caprica universe. I may end up writing it one day. It's very dark though. Even for me.
Some smut for your enjoyment:
- Phil Phantom's stories: I mentioned Phil Phantom last time, so here's a further sampling of his stories. Again, it tends to veer towards incest and bestiality and bunch of other stuff. So if that squicks you, move along without looking.
- The Writings of Leviticus: A "site of Bondage, Domination, and Enforced Nudity" as the banner says. Several interesting stories on this site on the given theme. It takes some work to find the gems, though.
A relatively quiet week this week was. I've had a story -- just a scene, really -- banging in my head since last weekend. I know better now to try and fight it, and I've scribbled through about half of it this week. It's really part of a larger project I dubbed "The Ex Variations" that has been in the back of my mind for even longer. Without going into too much detail -- because those details are likely to change -- I want to explore, through a series of variations, the power dynamics in a couple after their separation: the changes that occur in each of the partners after the separation, how one reacts to those changes, and how those reactions illuminate the original relationship. If you think that's too high-falluting, don't worry: it's of course all about the sex. What else? In any event, I'm writing the first variation in the project. My plan is to finish writing it before I get starts on The Adjusters #6 at the beginning of March.
One reason why couples and their dynamics are on my mind is that the smut I've been reading these last few weeks has been about cuckoldry, hotwives, and slutwives . Just tickles my bones when I'm in the right mood. Anyways, here's the best of the lot I've run across. Most of these are on Storiesonline, so you'll need an an account, but it's free. And worth it because there is a lot of good stuff there.
- Joatster's Don't Ask, Don't Tell: "Hubby's fantasies come true -- to his delight and dismay." My favorite of the bunch. By far. It just presses the right buttons.
- E. Z. Riter's My Boss' Slut: "Becky wants a baby. Her husband's boss wants a slut. She has five before he's through." A classic of the genre.
- Curious2c's Assignment: "Husband's college english assignment causes serious problems in his marriage." Hot, but somewhat disturbing. More manipulation than the others in this list.
- Tony's My Slut Wife: "Wife fulfills husband's fantasy of making love to another dominant man and find she loves it. Husband finds he loves her change in attitude making him feel like a cuckold."
- Just Plain Bob's Chuck's Fantasy: "She decides to give him what he wants." Just Plain Bob has a boatload of stories on the topic of slutwives -- worth looking at if you're interesting in the subject.
- Harry Kuntz' Letter to a Cuckold: "A husband suffers utter degradation when he receives a letter from the stud who cuckolded him, graphically detailing the wife's seduction." A very interesting twist on the usual story.
- Phil Phantom's The Dean's Wife: "The dean's wife tells her husband about the two men that she cheated on him with, but the story ends up being slightly more complicated than that." A great story, but it brings in both incest and bestiality. So if that squicks you, move along without looking. Otherwise, this is another classic of the genre. Phil Phantom is good.
On the commercial side, I greatly enjoyed Jake Marlow's His Wife, His Prostitute. A somewhat corny title, but a good story.
If you run across interesting stories like the above, feel free to send me a note. I'm always happy to read new things.
Issue #2 of The Adjusters, The Three Musketeers, is out. It actually was posted the first weekend of February, my target date for every update, but I delayed posting the news because I wanted to get permalinks for journal entries to work. That's been taken care of. Let me know if something does not work.
Happy New Year, everyone. I've posted the first chapter (part? issue?) of The Adjusters, my new MC serial, entitled Daniel and Jennifer.
In January, I plan on introducing a new piece of work, a serial called "The Adjusters".
It's an old idea of mine, one that started life as a comic book series that never materialized, but that I've decided to recycle as a serial. True to its comic book origins, think of it as a written comic book series: story arcs over several issues, with an evolving cast of characters and an underlying unifying plot. I don't want to think of it as a single story, since I actually have several stories in mind, but it's more specific than just a Universe for stories..
What's it about? It's basically the story of Daniel Malcolm, political science college student, who stumbles upon a local conspiracy to enslave the girls at his school through mind control. Before long, that conspiracy affects his personal life and his friends, and he discovers to his dismay that the situation is even worse than it appears.
My aim is to publish one chapter a month. I have two story arcs plotted out (about 30 chapters total), and I know where I want to go after the second arc. The first chapter should come out the first week of January.
In the meantime, here's what I've enjoyed reading this week. I warn you in advance, I've been in kind of a mood, so this is somewhat dark stuff.
- Scorpio's Getting the Contract : A wife and husband need a contract for their business to survive. But how far will the wife go to secure the contract?
- Michael Jaegger's Honeymoon Hotel : Honeymoon in a castle in Scotland! Sound like a great get away, well it isn't! The owner of the castle hypnotizes the newlywed brides, then he and his friends, rape the bride, making her think that she is having sex with her husband, taking pictures of her doing so. They then blackmail her into willingly recreating the scenes, only this time knowing that she is not having sex with her husband. One such bride commits suicide. The last couple that they pull this on, figures it out, and through the husband's strong love for his wife, who has decided that she's a slut and a whore, they stay married, and turn in the culprits.
- Ninja Turtle's Changes : A guy has his girlfriend submit to changes in her body, the changes start off mild but end up extreme
Okay, I have to admit to being seriously addicted to this sitcom, Garry Unmarried. It's your typical family sitcom, no more and no less funny than the multitude of family sitcoms that have come and gone, except for two things. First, the set-up is that Gary has just divorced his wife Allison and their lives keep on intersecting, and sexy scenarios involving exes always get me hot. Second, Allison is played by Paula Marshall, and I seem to have a serious crush on her. Put the two together, and this Bulgroz is a happy boy.
If this show remains on my mind for longer than a week, then I think I'll try my hand at a bit of smutty fan fiction, and try to see if I cannot put Allison through her paces, and get her to reveal that hot little body of hers, and generally get her to do the nasty in, well, nasty ways.
While we're on the topic of fan fiction, if you don't already know this site, then head on over to the TSSA - Television and Movie Character Sex Stories Archive: there are some gems in there (and also a lot of crap, as usual). In particular, it has one of my favorite pieces of fan fiction, Mad About You, by Frost (in 8 parts). I can't provide a direct pointer, but it's in the Comedy section. Check it out.
