NiS stands for 'Naked in School', which is a shared reality in which
many authors have placed stories. I had two stories planned for my
contributions. This one, and a zoo/best one.

Inspired by Sir Render's innocent request in ASSD:

"Okay, so I'm writing this story and I'm up to a point where two young
women are being dared to walk back and forth between two public
locations (say in a mid-size town) in various stages of undress. The
idea is for them to keep changing outfits at each point, then return
to
the previous point.

"The question is, what would be the two best/most interesting/most
exhilerating public places for these women to be going between?"

NiS - Walkathon for Charity

The last of my students settled in his chair just as the
'late-to-class' buzzer went off. I ignored his awkward smile and
looked at him meaningfully. "Well?"

He squirmed--and I managed to ignore what his penis did in response.
"Sorry I'm late. I was in the principal's office with her and my
father and they wouldn't let me go right away."

Some of the class giggled. I sighed. "And I suppose that's the reason
for your erection?"

I smiled when he blushed. Tom had something of a reputation with the
kids.. He had come into the NiS project with a 'go-for it' lady's man
attitude and a habit of winding up being counselled for his
inappropriate behavior. Surprisingly, by his senior year he'd turned
it around and become one of the most courteous people on campus.

Not that any of the teachers would tell him that, of course. So, we
teased him about his past behavior.

"No, ma'am." He held out a single printed page. "This is the reason.
They want you to read this to us." He blushed. "I... It's
embarrassing.... But it turns me on, too."

I walked over and took it from him. I glanced at it, froze in shock
and then raised my eyes to watch his face. "They're serious?"

"Ma'am. *I'm* serious. The 'Walkathon for the the NiS Project' was
*my* idea.. Mom and dad took it away from me and..." He shrugged
helplessly, but without apology. "Well, they took it away from me and
said I think too small."

He bowed his head and started crying. "I didn't want it to end, that's
all. I want it to go on helping. Helping people like me. Like I used
to be."

I reached and gently lifted his head. Through his tears, ones of
frustation, I now realized, he whispered: "They're the ones making a
big deal of it. Not me."

I nodded, then walked thoughtfully back to the front of the class.

End: Unfinished NiS
======


A couple of concepts I never finished, for my 'Series of Attitudes'.
---

Cunning Linguist
---

You know, as a writer, I'm sick and tired of all you folks bitching.
---

note:  Then I got distracted, and eventually dropped the Attitudes
series.

Oh, well.  The ones I did finish can be considered my 'Tribute to The
Master', Pred.
====

After looking this one over, I realized it's a completed work!

Politically Possible Personal Possibilities
Another 'Series of Attitudes Work'

"Honey? I want to make mad passionate love to you and..."

Damn. Delete that.
------------------

Folks, I wanted to write you a hot story about a man and a woman who
really enjoy sex and know how to spend the night enjoying themselves,
but then I realized that as a writer I needed to take my
responsibilities more seriously than I do.

I decided to 'do the right thing' and write a 'sex story' that took
other people's feelings into account. So, before I give you the story
itself, let me give you the background that led to it.

Consideration 1: The names.

At first I was going to make the names sort of generic and use 'Dick
and Jane'. A little thought and I realized that some of the older
readers, not to mention the publishers who used the characters, might
be offended. Did I want to risk a lawsuit from the opening paragraph?

No.

What about the folks who enjoy same sex relationships? 'Dick and Jane'
more or less implies a man and a woman, and to some, male-female sex
is offensive. Not only that, to many of the people who learned to read
based on the old 'Dick and Jane' stories, 'Dick and Jane' will always
be young children.

In those cases, there would be some people who see a hint of
pedophilia in my story or they might feel that I am strongly biased in
favor of male-female sex. Did I want to get labeled as a closet pedo
or 'anti-everything-except-male/female-sex'? No!

'Tom and Jerry' would be fairly generic if I was writing about two men
but those names have the double problem of having been used for a
couple of cartoon characters who were also animals. So, if I were to
use two seemingly generic names, I could, under ideal conditions, at
least quintuply offend people with the combination of male-male sex,
the implication of bestiality due to the well known association,
trying to draw in kids and possibly imply pedophilia and also get
involved in a lawsuit for trademark dilution.

Forget it.

I have to admit that I didn't spend any time at all looking at the
ways I could offend people or get in trouble for writing about
female-female sex.

Further reflection on the subtle nuances involved as a result of
naming my characters revealed the only solution: Don't use any names
at all. In fact, to be as inoffensive as possible, and not imply *any*
form of relationship that a reader might find offensive, I decided to
use a very generic 'they' to describe anyone involved in the story.

The first hurdle is passed. I know who I'm going to be writing about.

Consideration 2: What type of relationship am I going to describe
'them' as being involved in?

Subpart of consideration 2: How wide an audience do I want to reach
without possibly offending them?

Naturally, I wanted to offend as few people as possible. This, of
course, meant that I could eliminate any hints of pedophilia and
bestiality right at the start. I write in English and because of that,
I have to allow that a majority of the readers are culturally pre
biased against these two forms of sexual pleasure.

That narrowing down still left me a lot of choices so I wasn't too
concerned at first.

However...

To get an idea of what is out there, I took the time to study the
codes. When I finished that, I was horrified to realize that I had a
new problem. _Anyone at all--could find any code at all--offensive!_

This wasn't turning out to be as easy as I expected it to be. How
could I write a sex story if I couldn't tell people what was going on?

Discouraged, but still trying to do the right thing, I continued my
search for ways to proceed. I couldn't describe the act itself but I
realized I *could* describe how they felt while doing whatever it was
that they were doing.

Unfortunately, that led to...

Consideration 3: How is my story going to affect people's emotional
balance?

At least this decision was the easiest to make. Obviously, I want any
effects to be positive and help the reader to a better understanding
of themselves, improve their outlook and otherwise lead to an overall
effect that benefits them without harming them or anyone else. I
certainly don't want to be labeled as someone who encourages people in
any negative fashion.

But...

What is a positive improvement'? If I encourage someone to be too
positive, I am doing them a disservice. They will be that much more
upset with me if I lead them to believe too much in the good things
and suddenly a bad thing happens.

At this point, after I had spent all this time trying to make sure I
was going to be 'doing the right thing' and making sure I kept my
responsibilities as a writer firmly in mind, I was starting to get so
discouraged that I almost decided to not write the story.

This taking the time to be a responsible writer was going to seriously
change the tone of my work, that much was increasingly obvious.
However, I was encouraged by the fact that other writers were
successful. If they could do it, there must be a way for me to be able
to do it. Just because I couldn't see the solution right then, it
didn't mean there wasn't any solution at all.

I'd spent a lot of time figuring out the individual parts of the
story, there had to be a way to put them together.

What follows is my first attempt to write a sex story that shows I
take my responsibilities as a writer as seriously as I should if I
want to be considered 'a good writer' in the social as well as the
technical aspects.

Please be patient with me. I hope that as I do more, I will gain
mastery of this extremely difficult skill.

Responsible
A responsibly written sex story
---

note 1: 'They' or 'their' is used to denote any number of beings,
ranging in number from one to infinity, who, based on the reader's
cultural standards, are considered acceptable for sexual interactions.
-

They (see note 1) decided they (see note 1) wanted a sexually based
interaction that produced the minimum amount of negative effects (if
any) to the beings involved in the aforementioned relationship.

They (see note 1) continued in this sexual interaction until they (see
note 1) felt the negative effects of the sexual interaction exceeded
the positive effects, at which point they (see note 1) agreed to stop
and find a different way to have a sexual interaction in which the
positive aspects exceeded the negative aspects.

These sexual interactions, of various types, went on repeatedly until
they (see note 1) realized the sexual interactions with the current
participants no longer met their (see note 1) needs, at which point,
satisfied sexually and socially improved, they (see note 1) found
other emotionally and socially beneficial things to do.

Not the end,
just one small glimpse into their (see note 1) life.
