General Discussion / Re: What does the story code "...
Last post by loras pa6 - Today at 01:16:41 AMIn my mind the 'reluctant' as I define it falls into two main concepts:
Willing, but has reservations about the 'event', second thoughts going into it kind of thing
or
Not initially willing, but coerced to accept. Maybe an offered Quid Pro Quo type of situation but not a 'no option but to' situation

Last post by Eido - April 17, 2026, 09:29:09 PMDear Readers, I thought about making this a poll, but I wonder if polls inhibit discussion. I like to read your thoughts and not just a poll response.
Anyway, what does the story code "Reluctant" aka "reluct" mean to you?
Also, a follow-up question, what level of reluctance do you associate with this code, on a scale of the character's attitude being: 'No, I really shouldn't, but okay, tie me up, lock me in chastity, and screw me' to 'Hell no. Come any closer and I shoot, but give me a week to reconsider'?
Thanks and have a great weekend.

Last post by phoneman973 - April 16, 2026, 05:52:25 PM The story gets better and better. What's next. Jessie moves closer to the edge, as Valerie ties her tighter. And what of Elena , sister/lawyer. She knows the secrets. I feel in her evil mine, like all lawyers. she have valerie,maidbot, tie tighter. Then have valerie tie as a meetgirl to feel the fear with Jessie. With Eleanor approva, dear old dad comes in to check meatgirls before the oven
Of course, that's my outlook. But the story can only get better.

Last post by Tanya - April 16, 2026, 05:03:53 PMQuote from: Liampin on April 16, 2026, 02:47:20 PMThe teasers for Elise/Nadia/Alex are well appreciated. Here's a couple more fan questions that might rest on spoiler-free ground.
1. Will there be a Stilettos 3?
2. Do you have a regular 'drop date' for releasing new chapters or does that depend on the Plaza publishers?
3. Will Mina and Lena return?
4. What other characters might have a bigger role in future chapters? Ana? Alina? Carmela?
5. Are you considering spin-off stories for The Abyss or origin stories?
1. & 5. No, there won't be a part 3; the story arc comes to a conclusion for all major characters. I don't even know what would come after. Spin-offs or a prequel (Evelyn!), I considered, but I am not looking into it at this time.
2. Teann, who runs the Grometsplaza site, publishes the parts. Up to chapter 12 is published, and up to chapter 15 is in the queue. I'm proofreading and editing the later chapters...
That also mean; I retract my offer to publish the ePub of Stilettos 2... I think it would be unfair to his efforts of editing and getting traffic on the site, if I just drop it in the forum. I am thinking however, to create an ePub for Stilettos 2 up to chapter 12 or 13 when it comes out, so give you guys a better smoother reading and the illustrations.
3. There will be some smaller appearances, and Lena lives rent-free in Evelyn's head.
4. Time will tell.
Speaking of... I am curious who is the most favorite character? And who is most hated?

Last post by Tanya - April 16, 2026, 04:45:12 PMI'll answer this in the forum, as I think this is important: I got this via message:
What I can already say is that you are a quite talented writer
In only a few pages of text you managed to create an atmosphere in my head (I like that), even if its quite ... urging, intense, pressing - don't know how to describe that yet.
Not my favorite "feeling" while reading, but I will see where this is leading.
Indeed... this is one of the key aspects of Stilettos I wanted to bring across. A very pressing atmosphere. Dark. Seductive, until it isn't. Oppressive. Consent signed in blood. A deal with the devil. Drawn in by the Membership Contract (Stilettos 1).
Have you signed such contracts in your life? Haven't we all? Literal contracts for employment, signing away a portion of your life-force to a job you don't like? Maybe toxic colleagues or a boss who is an energy vampire? Being drained... Club Abyss is a metaphor and it works on multiple levels. This is one of the more important ones, beyond the feet, heels, or latex bondage.
Social contracts where we do things out of implied consent and agreement without questioning the why and the how?
Club Abyss is... an abyss, drawing you in. You stare into the Abyss until it stared back at you.
The characters do everything in consent; even written consent. Yet... the atmosphere the club crafts and the guidelines bind them. Promises of experiences, themes of love and revenge, desires fulfilled; experiences, promotions, learning lessons, all for the small price of your soul (or sole in the metaphorical sense). The members themselves exercising pressure onto each other, taking them to the breaking point, and in some cases, beyond. Into the literal grave of the coffin.
The mysterious Owners, represented by the Count, are indeed a framework spanning the Abyss, of a Lovecraftian nature.
Have you agreed to come into an abyss of your own? Did it look back at you? And what will you find at the very bottom, if there is any?

Last post by Liampin - April 16, 2026, 02:47:20 PMThank you for the continued engagement. I love chatting. Promising from here on out...to be well behaved on meddlesome comments (Fangents). If you ever get tired of hunting for typos or if you need help with proofing stuff, I'd be happy to help. Grammar isn't my strong suit. Oxford comma and such. Even so, I can proof for wrong character name, dialogue missing quotations or substitutions of the wrong word. Those kinds of things.
The teasers for Elise/Nadia/Alex are well appreciated. Here's a couple more fan questions that might rest on spoiler-free ground.
1. Will there be a Stilettos 3?
2. Do you have a regular 'drop date' for releasing new chapters or does that depend on the Plaza publishers?
3. Will Mina and Lena return?
4. What other characters might have a bigger role in future chapters? Ana? Alina? Carmela?
5. Are you considering spin-off stories for The Abyss or origin stories?
I agree with your take on the video. It's hot. 'Stilettos'--it's not. It seems like you have a great eye for what you like/ The AI seems to work for you in the other images you showed. If you are interested in someone to do some work, check out Formant.

Last post by Tanya - April 16, 2026, 08:36:55 AM@liampin, no, I'm actually very happy that I get some engagement about the story. I've been working for more than a year on this, mostly writing for myself. So all feedback is very very welcome. Feel free to chat about it with the forum, and me.
For the fangent, no deviations from the plot are happening, as the story is finished; I'm just reading along before sending it to the Plaza and fixing typos, plot holes and dialogues along the way. Now I'm still polishing and expanding one of the later chapters.
You will get to experience Elise's point of view, during the year. And Nadia will meet with Alexandru, and Evelyn does encourage her to 'try something'. No spoilers here.
For the kneeling scene, I had indeed done that with grok ai, but I was not happy with the quality:
https://drive.proton.me/urls/2C612ZYH4G#lNW98gcv8WXy
Elise here has wine, which is out of character. If you read carefully, you know why. Also no phone was rendered and her feet look awkward.

Last post by cromerjoshua8 - April 16, 2026, 03:18:31 AMQuote from: PapaPalpatine on March 08, 2026, 07:00:39 PMI've been playing around with Grok recently and decided I'd try creating a "Choose Your Own Adventure"-style game from a Plaza story. For the test case, I chose Abbacor's "The Tomb Explorer." The results were better than I expected. For those who would like to give it a try, the zipped folder linked to below contains a pdf copy of the story and a text file with the instructions and prompt. You can try it with other AIs, though I don't recommend Chatgpt as its general prudishness is likely to spoil the fun. Give it a try, have fun, and if you have suggestions for improving the prompt, post them here and I'll be happy to try them out.

[Edit: I'm just going to provide a Google Drive link since there was an issue with attaching the zip file to the post.]
[Update March 12, 2026: Expanded the Prompt to include achievements with some special rewards...]
Imagine, Grok conjuring adventures from text, a digital storyteller weaving interactive narratives! The prudishness of ChatGPT, a definite buzzkill for gritty tales like tomb exploration.

Last post by Liampin - April 16, 2026, 12:23:31 AMSuccess!! I downloaded Stilettos 1 and it looks great! Love the images even if they are AI. It's nice to have little 'anchors' from you to pin the visuals down even if the reader imagines scenes from their experience and people they know for character visuals. The videos are great. I was kind of hoping for the short clip of Nadia kneeling and licking some toes while Elise has her phone out.
I am definitely going to miss her not being in the picture---but she can still be in the picture, right? Battling the smart vibrator? When she come out of the coffin (assuming she's not broken) wouldn't she need someone else to experience the glass coffin too? Someone she could share her experience with? Not thinking ALex...but Nadia? That would be 'poetic injustice?' So here's my FAN-GENT ('Fan Tangent', you are encouraged to ignore it since you are still tinkering). I loved the idea of having audio feed 'piped in' to where Elise lies under the dance floor. If I were Evelyn, I would manipulate Nadia into flirting with Alex and have it stream to Elise. Maybe a cruel 'deep fake'? Is that too cruel? WWED? What Would Evelyn Do?
I feel so much 'lighter' having shared this with the message board. Hope this isn't 'troll bait' because I like chatting about stories.
Quote from: Tanya on April 15, 2026, 11:44:20 AMSo, @Liampin, a little bit longer on 2, but you will enjoy 1 for sure. Elise is currently out of the picture anyhow, and the story will continue for a while without her. Nadia is also wondering how broken her mind will be. A lot can, and will, happen before her year is over. But we also get so see the occasional glimpse into her experience in the hellish box that is the transparent coffin and her slow breaking on the smart vibrator.
