Two Dark Stories To Start Off The Year

Writing Journal: And we are back for a new and exciting year. May it suck less than the last one. I randomly hacked on The Adjusters #29/30 over the Holidays, whenever family and social obligations permitted. And after more than 25000 words written (that's a quarter of a novel in some genres—hard to believe—I mean I know I overwrite but still...) I think I know where to split off #29 and #30. I was hoping that a plum little cliffhanger would show up, and lo and behold, out of nowhere, one did.

There wasn't a lot of smut reading over the Holidays, sadly, but I can still report on a couple of interesting stories over at Djian Understories.

The first story is Mattwatt's Vanessa and the White Knights: “Vanessa, assistant dean of admissions at a modern university, is grabbed by a group of students called the White Knights and added to their slave gallery.” A nicely twisted dark story, complete with domination, slavery, dogs, and beautiful girls being passed around like property. And it weirdly enough still manages to be romantic. Well, in a way—a somewhat twisted depraved way. This is good old trashy fun.

The second story is Ug's Victoria's Blackmail: “Photos are discovered of a teacher, and used against her.” (The story is also hosted on Literotica). I have a soft spot for blackmail stories, as any of you that has spent any amount of time on this blog knows, and this one has not only blackmail but blackmail of a hot young high-school teacher. This story is ongoing, but the buildup in the first four chapters is fantastic. Not too slow, not too fast, and the author distills the goodies like a sadistic booze runner during the prohibition.

There's a long smut tradition of abusing teachers using blackmail and other forms of coercion. I mentioned H. Dean's Object of Affection in the past. Pamela, one of my favorite authors, has one as well, called The Last Class: "A submissive high school teacher is so taken with one of her students that she can't stop herself from giving him her body, her will, her very life," although it's less about coercion and more about submission. There are other stories on that theme, of course, including a couple of mind-control stories that I remember, but I cannot retrace them easily right now. Any suggestions of stories to read on that subject posted in the comments will be highly appreciated, certainly by me, and probably by others as well.
