Just a quick post to warn you all that The Adjusters #53 will be delayed a bit. Some mid-summer scheduling pains, with some unplanned travel to boot. Thanks in advance for your patience.
I'll leave with a story exemplifying less is more. It's Bewitched, by Velvetglove. The story of a man that marries a witch, and the happy sexy shenanigans that ensue. Not a lot of sex, but a lot of sexy scenarios hinting at dark twisted hot stuff. Oh, and of course, mind control. I hope Velvetglove continues the story.

Primevil Vignettes Series, Book 2
Writing Journal: The Adjusters #43 seems to have been well received, which I'm happy about. Next month's #44 is the final setting up of dominos for Book IV, after which I kick them and we see where things land. While the pace of #41–44 was a bit on the slow side, the rest of Book IV should be more snappy. I started on #45 this week, which looks like it will be an easy one to write (as opposed to #43–44, which were painful, with #44 still in pretty rough shape).
Quick question for the folks out there: if you bookmark stories, what do you use for bookmarking? I've been using Delicious because I started with it and inertia is pretty strong with me for stuff like that, but it's not ideal when you've accumulated a lot of bookmarks. Maybe I just haven't found the right way to tag things—I hate tagging—but I'm happy to take recommendations. I would like my bookmarks to live online, though, since I want to access them from different machines. (Although presumably I could store them in a dropbox-synchronized folder.)
The story for today is Book 2 of Velvetglove's Primevil Vignettes series, Rooting for the Underdog: “Multi-part, multi-character, non-consensual saga set in an imaginary country ruled by a dictatorship.” I've talked about Book 1 before, which I enjoyed a lot, and this one is a direct continuation, in exactly the same style—except for the scenes being somewhat shorter. Still a great idea, and I love the cruel little twists here and there. (Note to self: short sex scenes—maybe try that one day. Ah! Who am I kidding?...)

A Couple of Good Long Stories
Writing Journal: Merrily revising The Adjusters #42 for posting tomorrow night. It's not easy: that installment is completely different from all the previous ones. Earlier this week, I also finished a first pass at #43. And looking at 41–44, I'm noticing that the pacing is slow. Too slow? I don't know. But I suspect (better: hope) that it will pick up some, otherwise, it's going to be one hell of a long book, and that's not going to be good for anybody. (I'd love for Book IV to be about the same length as Book III.)
June's been busy. Too busy. I owe some of you folks email responses—don't worry, they're coming. I have not forgotten nor dismissed. I'm also experiencing my usual late Spring downswing in morale. Put it all together, my smut reading has taken a hit, and so I have less to report than usual.
Still, a couple of very good stories have made their way across my screen—many of them via Djian Understories.
The best find was a story by Velvetglove, Primevil Vignettes (Book One)—Blessed are the Meek: “Multi-part, multi-character, non-consensual saga set in an imaginary country ruled by a dictatorship (the first of seven Books)” Nice setup, very well written, and some clever hot ideas and awesome sex. One of those stories that I wish I had written. I really hope the author goes through their plan to write seven books in that universe. Highly recommended.
I don't think I've ever mentioned this one, but on the previous iteration of Understories I ran across this story by Wilcox010, Summer's Blackmail: “Sexy teacher stumbles her way into trouble.” Another teacher-blackmailed-by-a-student story, that uses a nice little twist at the beginning that unfortunately is not quite followed through the whole way (which I think would have led to something even better) but the story is still good, and may press your buttons if you're into, well, teachers being blackmailed into sex. (Here's a link to the story on Literotica, which may be a bit faster.)
Finally, a couple of new chapters to Kirk's Marlene’s Story have been added since the last time I talked about it. The story still holds up, and it's still a hot read.

Two Organized Revenge Stories
Writing Journal: Nothing much to report. Finishing up the first part of what I've been hacking on for the past month, which if everything goes according to plan—that is, if I can get my act together and revise it—should start seeing the light of day before the end of the month. And then, The Adjusters #32.
I have not been reading a lot lately, but I came across a long long story on Djian Understories which is worth a look—I'm only halfway through, but it's one of my favorite so far this year. It's by Velvetglove, called Best Enjoyed Cold: “A ‘Rape and Revenge’ Thriller in nine Parts.” As the description—short on details—says, a rape-and-revenge thriller. Revenge via rape is an old trope, of course, but Velvetglove spins a dark tale of involved payback that goes beyond the usual ‘I'm gonna take yo girl out back and bone her.’ It's heavy on the psychological cruelty. Be warned. But if it's your cup of tea, go down and go deep. There are some impressively good scenes of abuse in there.
Velvetglove's tale reminded me a much older tale that I've ever only known as Arms, the story of an arms dealer who attempts to double-cross, in a sense, a rich client, and who gets punished by being forced to watch his family being used and abused. Call me sick—others have—but I've always just loved the last scene with Stephanie. (I seem to recall there being more chapters to the story, but I'm not able to retrace them. Also, BDSM Library credits the story to one Nic Romanschak, but I don't know if that's true. If you have updated info, or know of the longer story, please drop me a comment.)
