Writing Thoughts

Writing Journal: I'm glad The Adjusters #38 was well received. I was sort of stressed about it. When endings bomb, they really bomb. Meanwhile, I'm hacking away at The Adjusters #39. It's difficult to write in that voice. Plus I'm waffling on the story. Ah well. I often feel that way until things are done. Then, onward to Book IV proper.

Life is slowly returning to normal. A couple of things have been on my mind lately, writing related. Mainly, figuring out what to write this year—beyond The Adjusters, obviously.

There are two paths that I would like to explore. The first is to write a couple of multi-chapter mind-control stories I've had buzzing around in my head for the past couple of years. Yeah, I know, I threaten something like that pretty regularly, and while it may seem like it's just venting—that's part of it, certainly—those ideas I get often just make it back into The Adjusters. Those that don't just keep bouncing in my head, or more accurately, in my notebook. One story though I've already started writing, with maybe five chapters at various stages of mess sprawled about my hard drive; it's a story in the Master PC universe, tentatively called Chesslord. The other story I have in mind is still just percolating, about a group of mind-controlling immortals, tentatively called Lieux Communs. These may never see the light of day. But they're in there, in my head, accumulating fuzz and fibers and dust bunnies from rolling around in my cerebral attic, and growing steadily until they bust out of my head like literary Athenas.

The second path I want to explore is to try my hand at self-publishing some short stories, and possibly longer ones. Those would probably be written under a different pen name, and wouldn't be mind-control stories, nor would they be as dark as those I write with my Bulgroz The Third persona. (To give you some reference, the kind of stories I have in mind would be along the lines of the last Christmas Special—no mind control, no extreme domination, no humiliation, no explicitly nonconsensual stuff. Just plain old fun, though with a few twists because let's be honest, I'm me.) That would give me an outlet that wouldn't antagonize my current readership who I'm assuming enjoys my darker stuff, and let me write some of the stories that do not fit with the rest of my work here. The Leapers story I talked about a few times I suspect would be one such story, since as I'm developing it, it is neither dark nor mind-control focused.

So many ideas, so little time—or more accurately, so little bandwidth to put words to paper.

Your stories for the week. The first two are from Radk. One is Nuclear Response: “Blackmailed wife's actions lead husband to the unthinkable.” I love the fact that the sex in the story is mentioned indirectly, yet is still quite hot if you're into blackmail stories. And the ending is... well... rather dark, even for me. But a good story. A very good story. The other is Levi's Microscopic World: “Controlling her mind and body with microbot technology.” A scientist with too much skill and too little self control decides to seduce a coworker with the best tools he has—his microbots. Hilarity ensues! A strangely sweet story.

The next story is in the blackmailing-the-teacher genre. It's by George VI, Teacher Upskirt Shows: “Blackmailed teacher must expose herself in school.” Always a good times when your teacher is hot and (more or less) willing.

Finally, a cute story of a sort, by JoeDreamer, Addicted to My Ex-Wife: “He can't stay away from his ex-wife." And all sort of fun and hot sex follows from such a simple and devastating premise. (I just noticed that this is the second story from JoeDreamer I featured here. Cool.)

Supernatural Stories

Electricity went out yesterday, so I couldn't make my usual Saturday night post. On the plus side, a nice candlelight dinner with the significant other. That was pleasantly different.

But now we're back. Nothing much to report, so let me just jump straight to our smut of the week. One theme that comes up often in mind control stories is of course supernatural entities. Lots out there on that topic, much of it pretty forgettable. Here are some that stand out.

First off, a little ditty on Literotica that is perhaps not so much about mind control, but has some very interesting ideas thrown in about how getting it on with a succubus could affect your life. It's The Devil Buys My Soul, by JoeDreamer (who has a couple other interesting stories, so check him out): "Sandy, the Deal and the Succubus." I just love, right at the beginning, when the devil offers to our poor jilted hero a succubus that looks just like his ex-wife. And later, when the succubus takes on the form of different women from our hero's life. Some very cool ideas in there.

Moving up the heat curve, we have Debbie, Dan, and the Demon, by an anonymous author: "The little ankle bracelet that Debbie buys from a Paris shop comes with a hidden extra." It's an oldish story (from early 2000s), but there are some amazing scenes in there.

Finally, what I consider the classic in the genre, an old story by Traffic Man called Demon Deals: "Jonathan meets a mysterious woman with very slutty tendencies. He learns that she acts the way she does because she was cursed by a demon. He concocts a plan to strike a bargain with the demon in order to get some of the demon's powers. But is it really an iron-clad contract?" Again, some amazing scenes in there, and Diane is a lovely character to have around. The story is also pretty tight, and is a good read even if you abstract away from the sex (which you shouldn't!)

What's your favorite supernatural smut story? Feel free to share in the comments.
