Darting In For a Story

Writing Journal: Looks like The Adjusters #28 stirred some controversy. Not overly surprising, given what happens in it. I have to say, it was really creepy to live inside the head of a really disturbed man for the week it took to write the Trish scene. On a more pleasant note, I'm about halfway through #32, which starts with the sex scene—in media res, baby—and then segues into the plot, which needs to bring readers up to speed a little bit. I've always found it difficult to write exposition in such a way that it's not utterly boring. We'll see if I can pull it off. By the way, Book III is to be entitled Do You Take This Woman?



I'm way too busy with a project at work, and I've hardly had the time or even the inclination to think smut these last few weeks, as weird as that sounds. So not only will my posts continue to be infrequent, they may be incoherent as well.

I watched an interesting movie last week, where the term interesting can be read in various ways: Little Deaths, a 2011 horror movie that is really three short movies in one, with a sort of unifying theme, namely the union of horror and kink. It has received somewhat conflicting reviews, but if you enjoy weird twisted horror stories with an undertone of sex, have a look. The third story, in particular, I found psychologically fascinating.

Lon Ryden, who illustrates Dr. Faustus's Tales of Gnosis College comics (The Apsinthion Protocol, Study Abroad) has an interesting series of one-shot illustrations under the theme They Want Our Women!. Love them!

I'll leave you with a story—not a great story, but one that's honest in its focus on mind control and incest, Listening To Jack, by Mister Arioch: “Emily’s brother gives her a special set of earphones to listen with.” And poor Emily is soon on her way to become a loving companion to her geeky brother, and she's not alone on this one-way ride. Some nice scenes, dirty aplenty.
