Bits and Pieces

Writing Journal: Still gently slogging through The Adjusters #52 and #53. It's all good, if slow.

Throughout May and June, I'm asking for your input about the sort of kinks you might want to see in The Adjusters.

Sorry for the silence—I was away and also nothing particularly interesting came through my smut feed, except for a few chapters updates to stories that I'm tracking. Might as well get those out of the way.

A new chapter of Ashley's Revenge by TallMarriedMan: “Ashley gives him a gift that she knows his wife never would.” The story is still excellent.

A new chapter of Consequences by Xleglover: “Jen and Mike ‘separate’ and Jen moves in with Frankie.” A straight-up cuckold husband story, one that seems to leave few people unaffected (either in a good way or a bad way), but with some pretty interesting ideas and scenes. Xleglover is a bit of an acquired taste, and recently his stories do sometimes seem to spin without going anywhere. This one is no exception. But I still enjoy it. (Though I wish it went darker than it undoubtedly will go, more like Husband's Fantasy Backfires.)

Finally, a new mind-control story, The Coin by Ryansstory: “Ryan discovers that no good deed goes unrewarded...” Four chapters out at the time of this post, and it seems to be headed in a dark direction. A man finds a coin that gives him mind-controlling powers, but it's not entirely clear that the coin isn't actually controlling him. I'm looking forward to see if it goes anywhere.

Girls Next Door

Writing Journal: Grrr. After having written a good three-quarters of The Adjusters #51—which as far as I'm concerned has acquired the subtitle “That Big Stinking Pile of Crap Exposition”—I'm probably going to ditch a good 3000 words of it because it did end up being a confused mess, or so says my storytelling sense. If I'm lucky, I might be able to push the “deleted” scene into Book V, but I fear that doing that will lead to some jumping back and forth through time, which is painful. In other words, I'm unhappy. I'll survive, of course. But in the meantime—unhappy.

Ran across a nice little story on Literotica, Ashley's Revenge by TallMarriedMan: “Ashley has had enough of his meddling wife.” A very cute and dirty story about a girl next door that gets it into her head to seduce her neighbor to get revenge on his wife. And she succeeds admirably.

That story reminded me of an old story that I loved way back when, and after spending a good half-hour searching for it with all the Google Fu I could muster, I bring you the classic Call Girl Cheerleaders (Part 2, Part 3), by Richard Bissell: “A guy falls into a relationship-for-money with a high school cheerleader that soon grows into a group thing that then flowers into a romantic relationship between him and the girls.” Wonderful long story with hot sex galore and nontrivial emotions. As I said, a classic.
