Two Stories at Both Ends of a Spectrum

Writing Journal: Hacking away at The Adjusters #32. I've just finished writing the second of three scenes, and I don't particularly like it. It's slow, expository, and does less than I'd like it to do. I'll write the third scene, then come back to it. Maybe the second and third scenes can be merged... This might be my first hint that I need to plot Book III a bit more carefully. I have it all in my head, and it's much less involved than Book II—I predict six installments—but perhaps I should diagram it or something, to make sure it actually makes sense installments-wise.



There's a new story on Vulgus's page at Storiesonline, My Stepson the Psychopath: “ A young single mother of a thirteen year old girl finally meets the man of her dreams. But her dream is turned into a nightmare when she falls prey to her fifteen year old stepson.” A twisted tale, even darker than what's usual from Vulgus. I liked the beginning more than the balance of the story, although I admit to really liking the manacle tattoo in Chapter 11. Some underage stuff in there—although not particularly emphasized, as in, the character could be eighteen and it wouldn't change much to the story—as well as bestiality.

If you want to cleanse your palate after that one, check out the somewhat sweeter story by Grant McCloud, How my neighbor turned me into a pimp. No description, but the title plays that role nicely. The story's in the alt.sex.stories.moderated usenet group via Google Groups, which has some interesting stuff in it still.
