Here is February's installment of The Adjusters, “Los Angeles, Part 3", wherein Daniel and Cindy continue their investigation of the Special running loose in Los Angeles.
As usual, comments welcome.
I'll also remind you that we have a Speculation Thread available for general discussion. (A thread which I read but do not comment on.)
The Adjusters #64 - Los Angeles, Part 3
Daniel Malcolm was numb. Had been for several months now. And part of him had known it. But the full extent of it did not strike him until now.
For all the craziness that Cindy Caprese—now Cindy Barnes—exhibited, she could be perceptive, and that night was an example of exactly that. Daniel Malcolm had worried that she might insist on heading back to her place to fuck—something he was surprised she had not clamored for yet, her insatiable libido usually out and about at the first sign of him—but she surprised him by asking him out to a casual dinner and then heading out to a movie.
That was exactly the kind of evening Daniel needed. It felt almost normal. He had not had normal in a long time. And meeting the women affected by the Special—because the latest victim made it clear that a Special was indeed involved—had been the final straw: Christina’s tragic behavior, Rebecca’s hospitalization, and of course, Samantha Royston’s complete transformation into a nymphomaniac with apparently no inhibitions.

Blackmailed teacher stories
Writing Journal: Writing and editing away. The Adjusters #64 is coming along, but slowly. Beats me why. I'm also trying to clean up my notes for the second half of the overall story line. Time to bring everything together.
There was a story posted to Literotica maybe a week ago, A Teacher Blackmailed, by Mickyg85: “Beautiful teacher gets blackmailed by geeky student.” The story goes through the usual beats for this kind of tale, but it's competently done, and pretty hot. I'm hoping it continues.
But the story mainly brought to mind the classics in that sphere, that of beautiful and sexy teachers shamelessly taken advantage of.
One of my favorite is The Last Class, by Pamela, because I love anything Pamela writes.
Vulgus is Vulgus with the story The Teacher's a Pet.
Victoria's Blackmail by Ug is also good, and was recently concluded.
Summer's Blackmail by Wilcox010 is a long meandering tale that has some beautiful hot scenes.
Joan's Year of Changes by Engywwok is deliciously twisted.
Let's end with a classic. Owned Teacher by Thumb was one of the earliest long dark teacher blackmail tale I remember reading.

Catching Up With My Reading
Writing Journal: Sometimes it's good that my writing is a bit slow these days. Earlier this evening, I solved a plot problem I did not even know was bothering me, and which should lead to a nice development later on. Even if it doesn't make it into #64, it will make it in #65.
I haven't read much smut over the Holidays; being around family will do that to you. Still, there are a few things I can mention.
A nice series started on the EMCSA a few months ago, Tolerance by Ice Bear: “Introverted college student DJ suddenly realizes the people around him are suddenly being much more accomodating to him.” Guy with MC power goes on a fun spree (at least, up to the point where I've read it). But it's not of the go-into-yer-head-and-plant-commands variety exactly, which is always nice.
Some of what I've read has been in e-books.
Someone in the comments recommended Kenny Wright's Training to Love It. I have it but have not read it yet. I'm keeping it warm for the right weekend. (Part 2 of 3 is now out I see).
I did read Max Sebastian's The Game. This book is more effective for me than his previous ones—it's a bit darker, for once, which I enjoy in my smut. Sebastian's writing generally leaves me a little bit cold, I do not know why. But he has been more to my tastes lately, and this one keeps in the progression.
And in case you worry I'm striving too far on the hotwife theme in my reading, don't worry. I've greatly enjoyed the first book in Charles Arnold's The Penitent series. It is deliciously (sometimes disgustingly) twisted in places, and hits a lot of buttons I have. I've read Book 1 of 4, and if the rest of the series remains faithful to the first one, I'll be a happy puppy.
Maybe I need a slogan to close off my blog posts. Ain't that what the cool kids are doing these days? Keep on smuttin'. Nah...

Happy New Year!
Writing Journal: About a week to go before The Adjusters #64 is ready. Not only did the Holidays wreak havoc with my already tenuous grasp of schedules, but my understanding of this part of the story has been a bit more nebulous than usual, so I want to make sure I get it right.
Happy New Year! May it be good to you and yours.
Looking at back at 2015, it was an interesting year. Pretty good on the personal and professional level, though some of that goodness translated into me being more busy than usual, which itself translated into difficulty meeting personally imposed deadlines. C'est la vie.
One thing I wanted to do in 2015 that did not pan out was investigating interactive fiction a bit more. I've greatly enjoyed some of the interactive pieces and games that have come out in the last year (some of which I've talked about on this blog), and it's always tickled my fancy to write something in that vein.
My main problem is that whenever I start thinking interactive stories, whatever idea I have pretty quickly turns into something on the epic scale. It's how I'm wired. And that's a bad idea for a first interactive piece, I know from experience. Again, I've talked about this before.
Now, over the past month, two ideas for interactive stories have sort of survived the test of not blossoming into epic ventures. One of them is that mysterious project that I mentioned keeping me distracted for a week. I won't talk about it further, because it's still very fuzzy in my own head. The other is something I dreamed up over the Holidays that I wrote maybe 2000 words on. It's in Twine, so nothing spectacular interface-wise. I'll keep on tinkering with it, and if it survives my inevitable attention lag, I'll give you all a preview. I can give you the working title, but don't hold me to it, or to its eventual existence: The Night-Time Violations of Katja. It should be pretty twisted, even by my standards.
The only resolution I have for 2016 is to be more present here. And to put less pressure on myself. I will try hard to put out our monthly installments for our communal enjoyment, but if some happen to be late, then I won't give myself grief. With luck and a bit of work, I know I can return to a first-of-the-month update, but as long as I can deliver something roughly monthly, it'll be good enough for me. And, I hope, for you as well.
Cheers to 2016!

New Story: The Adjusters #63
(Ah! You thought I was dead, didn't you? You should be so lucky. No, I was fighting my “block”, and hanging around the blog just made me feel guilty and blocked me further. But I'm feeling better now. Here's hoping I haven't lost _all_ of my readers. I'll get to your comments and emails in the coming week.)
Here is December's installment of The Adjusters, “Los Angeles, Part 2", wherein Daniel Malcolm meets up with a friend.
As usual, comments welcome.
I'll also remind you that we have a Speculation Thread available for general discussion. (A thread which I read but do not comment on.)
The Adjusters #63 - Los Angeles, Part 2
Daniel Malcolm felt strangely conspicuous in the back of the breakfast diner that touted that they served the best breakfast in the city, day or night. Partly it was because he was dressed more formally than the crowd that had been in the diner—more like a breakfast pub, to be exact—and that had steadily accumulated since he arrived. The place was packed.
But it was a silly reaction, because no one paid any attention to him. They were all students, all from the nearby UCLA, and he was not much older than them. They were loud, eating and talking about all of those things that college students talked about when they needed to wind down and the last thing they wanted to think about was anything serious. It was a Friday night atmosphere, but mid-morning. You could smell it in the air, the ethos of the average college student. Go out, have fun, get laid.
Daniel knew he was being unfair, but he also envied their seemingly insouciant approach to life—one he had himself held until fairly recently. A world where the biggest problem one could have was figuring out whether to follow their girlfriend to Texas or not. And even the answer to that one had been easy. Now, everything had weight. Everything was important. Everything mattered. Having fun seemed almost like a foreign concept.

Update #2
Okay, this is getting ridiculous. I mean, I have one stupid scene to write. One stupid scene. Maybe, what? 2000 words? Something that even at a slow pace I'd knock off in four days. (A slow writing day is about 500 net words.) Yet, I'm stuck. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear I'm having writer's block. Which is silly. This ain't no War and Peace. It's smut!
The Adjusters #63 is coming, believe you me. And then I'll have my full head to get to your comments over the last few weeks.
In the meantime, I ran across an oldie on Leviticus' website. Dark Pen's Office Games. No description, basically the story of Brad, a programmer who writes BDSM smut in his spare time, and what happens when he discovers that one of his hot young co-workers masturbates to his stories without knowing that he was the one writing them. Hijinks ensue.

Update and Games
It'll be a few more days before The Adjusters #63 comes out. Struggling with the end of the installment a little bit there. I hate when that happens. And to think that Book VI was supposed to be the easy one....
In the meantime, here are a few things that have come through in the comments that you may be interested in.
First off, and I realize this is old news but still, friend-of-the-blog Georg Kinaski, of SelectaCorp fame, has a few new games out in the world that you simply have to check out. His Corporate Raider series is fantastic. Corporate Raider 3 has some incredible build up. I can't say too many good things about it. You can find links on his Tumblr page, and he has a Patreon as well.
Also filed under interactive games, I was pointed towards a couple of mind-control centered games being written by Fugue. The easiest to get is Heavy Petting, in very early release. It's a blast, even though the interface is a bit cranky. Fugue has a Patreon as well, because hey, who doesn't these days? :)
Story-wise, have a read through Pan's My Car, My Rules: “A man plays a subliminal tape for his carpooler.” I'm usually not a huge fan of Pan's stories—they're technically flawless, but they don't really hit my spots—but this one I like a lot.
