agreed.  i would do debauched acts to get early access to this story.  but i'm 100% ok with you spooning it out when you're ready.  i am very much a tumblr-two-cakes loser.

also suspicious of the mystery device botherer.  is this a Baron issue?  is it Spyder being kind of a jerk?  Red??  Dr Reed???  Seal miraculously saved?

i've been thinking about plots and checkov's guns.  would you be ok with me mailing/dming predictions?  i don't want to influence, but there are a lot of things i'm "hrmmmmmm"'ed about.

i'd also be up for grammar/spelling checking if you want that.  this isn't a plan to sneak-peek at new chapters.  would i be such a terrible jerk to do that???  XD

"Next tome":
I was just trying to be funny by exaggerating. 😊
Just take your time, your readers want a good story, not a fast written one


"Number of characters":
I think that is just "natural" in the given setting; Judith is an Inspector, so she has to talk to the patients to do her job properly. Leaving that out just to reduce the number of characters wouldn't be a wise decision, as the story wouldn't feel that "real" then.
Additionally, this opens the opportunity to explore many different mindsets and kinks that would "clash" if applied to fewer characters.


"Conflicts":
Maybe that's also a question of who you're writing the story for, who you want to please with it
Readers who don't understand that a "self driven" project like this institute simply won't work with patients living out animosities and egoism may simply not be your target audience then.

I am a little worried that your "cliff hanger" might be the beginning of something aiming to destroy this harmony... but I guess I just have to be patient while waiting.

I wonder... some stories definitely do feel like first drafts. Sometimes the name of the character changes mid-story!  Or the verb tense, the narrator...

It would be easy to say that this is because a portion of people are lazy, or bad writers.  But sometimes I wonder if it's not something else.  The relationship between someone and their sexuality/kinks can be intense and troubled.  I'm very fortunate that I have fully accepted my kinks and have managed to "live" them.  But there was a period of a few years where I hadn't accepted myself, and this lead to "cycles" - alternating between periods where shame was strongest, or desire. When shame became too strong, I would "purge" everything, promise never to do it again... but then the desire started growing again.

Depending on the duration of these cycles, perhaps there is little time for these authors to do revisions... 

edit:  and I would bet that shame is a factor in many readers reading, but not otherwise engaging.  A *great* way to free yourself of shame is accepting who you are and meeting other kinksters.   I wonder what % of the readers here are active fetishists, vs it being something that only lives in their fantasy life?

Surely you are perfectly aware that after you have made me addicted, you are now responsible for quickly providing me with more of it?
Especially after Chapter 25 ends with a cliffhanger suggesting a hostile party?

Seriously: very good story, well thought out and plausible, well written.
Perhaps too many characters for my taste (reminds me of "Emma's Fetish Cruise Adventure"), especially since many of them also appear under two (sometimes even three) names, which increases the number of characters to keep in mind.

I liked that Judith feels more and more a part of the Institute, and that this is not only _said_, but also shows itself, for example, in the choice of her work clothes, up to the Halloween costume (no spoilers ), or in her way of expressing herself ("patients" => "patients / sisters" => "sisters" exclusively).

I also liked that you didn't need any drama between your characters to move the story forward, all the characters are friendly, helpful (even Spyder) and stick together. This may sound "boring," but it actually contributes to the desired image of the institute, which can only work if everyone helps each other, but it is also not an end in itself, as can be seen in Red (or Judith herself).

Hello

Thank you for your glowing praise of the story! Very kind of you.

To answer an earlier question - Observer is not a "pen name" - it is my "scene name", and I've had it since 1999!

You are not the only one eager for the next tome, but as I've explained above, writing inspiration/productivity can be a fickle thing... I know I can write 10 pages a week, and if I had been able to maintain that pace, Tome 7 would be published by now.  But alas, that is not how things panned out.  I'm hoping tome 5 will be ready by early winter, but there are no guarantees... after tome 3, which was written in 3 months(!), I thought I "had it down" but tome 4 proved that very wrong.

Too many characters:  this is indeed a worry of mine as well, and it will only grow "worse" as Judith meets more patients.  I am doing it "this way" as each new character is an occasion to explore new aspects of fetishism.  Some chapters are also "old story ideas" which I realize I could make fit inside the greater story. Once this serial is finished, I may turn it into a novel, and at that time some trimming will have to occur. 

There is little inter-character conflicts because it is in part a story of self-discovery and of healing. I am also concerned about this because it may be boring to some but... oh well

River: I see I need to reread the passage...
Here it is:

River came over to check on me – I looked at her wordlessly, unable to express what was happening to me. I saw a flash of understanding in her eyes, and she came closer – oh god she was so close – and she said in my ear.

"Listen, if you don't want to be here you can leave. I know it's a lot the first time. Consent remember? Or you could fight it, or just ... go with the flow."

...and I understand your obsession, the story is really good


"write again"?
Have I possibly read anything from you yet?

That is *definitely* Renee saying that, not River.  Thank you, that's is a serious error.

Why did it occur?  Well I had the "clever" idea at first to have some "links" between the name of the characters.  The "staff"?  Reed, Renee, River, Red.  The govs?  Margaret and Madeleine.  But it only ended up being confusing for both the readers and the author!  But now those names are anchored in my mind, so too late to change...

thanks again!

dang, i missed that bit.  then again, that dance had me thinking about lots of things at once, so this is just another reason i need to start from the beginning. 

and as for my stuff, "probably not" is my guess.  i have some on literotica (sammy_808 there), and a few more on my ancient blog.  i've never submitted here because i'm gross and most of my stories would break the "toilet" rule.

i think River's innocent here.  there's an introduction, some side comments, and then:

"she replied in a metallic voice"  so she's using the voice synthesizer.

"intoned River"  i just read this as River using the box again.

i'm not trying to be difficult, just super obsessed with this story.  makes me want to write again.
