Writing Journal: Sick as a dog this week. Getting a little bit better now, but still wobbly. Worshipping at the altar of NyQuil, I am. And let me tell you, when you're sick, the last thing you want to write is a sex scene. Talk about not being in the zone... Perhaps not surprisingly, progress on The Adjusters #30 was minimal, but progress was nevertheless achieved. And it looks like I'm painting myself in a corner too, where I may have to write a piece in the style of Alexandre Dumas. You'll see what I mean when we get there, assuming I don't come to my sense before then and edit the whole thing out of existence.
As I promised at the beginning of the year, let me start pulling stories out of the bag marked Classic Stories. What's a classic story? Beats me. My own personal definition is a story that I've run into a while back—five years or more?—and that I've seen discussed and praised online amongst both cognoscenti and amateurs alike.
Today, here are three classic stories under the general theme of turning a girl into a slave pretty much against their will through manipulation of some kind.
First up, Terri Madison's Second Place: “Terri and Danielle have been rivals all of their lives, competing in love and competing in business, with Terri coming out on top most of the time. Until one day Danielle fights back and turns Terri into a docile slave." A wonderfully twisted story by a master of the genre. Terri is just wonderful and writes humiliation like no one else. She deserves her own Author Spotlight, that's for sure.
Second up, Hunter's Samantha Learns her Place. No official description, but it's basically the story of poor Samantha, a cheerleader who attracts the attention of Hunter Smith, who manipulates her into basically doing his bidding, slowly turning her into the perfect little pleasure toy. Psychologically very dark, and altogether satisfying when you're just in that sort of mood. As far as I can tell, Hunter has not written anything else, which is a damned shame.
Third up, Ninja Turtle's Cheerleader Picture: “The story of a high school cheerleader slowly turned into a bimbo sex slave slut.” As with the description, as with the story. The language will not win any literary contest, but it's nonetheless effective. The story is surprisingly similar to Hunter's story above, both in premise and in theme, but it digs a much deeper hole for its protagonist. Psychologically even darker, I would say, although I realize the qualification is highly subjective. It's an interesting exercise to compare and contrast the two developments.
