Undercover Maidbot by Melissa M

I've been checking regularly for the update for the past month- does it usually take this long to get your writing published here? I had wanted to read it and give you feedback by now before thanking you for continuing.

[Melissa M]

Thank you so much for your patience and for reaching out! I sincerely apologize for the delay, but I'm happy to report that the next part of the story is supposed to go up this week.

In the meantime, you might enjoy my Halloween story, The Witch-Bot. It's a standalone read that also tells the story of a woman who swaps places with her maidbot.

A month wait is about the norm at the moment, even for well edited stories, Halloween very much gets in the way! But part 7 is indeed up now, enjoy.

Great chapter, I love the deepening of the role reversal this time. I can't imagine Ursula and Unit 734-B will make it through the weekend without that rift growing larger. Thanks!

Your Halloween story was also fun- keep up ths great work!

The latest part (#7) should be "reluct", like the previous parts.
"Cons" alone seems quite incorrect to me.

Or better even "nc" by now - after all, with snippets like these:

"amplifying her despair", "painful reminder of Melissa's fractured life and deepening entrapment", "The irony was a bitter pill: her forced servitude, her humiliation,", "a stark reminder of her forced servitude", etc.

Thank you, Sir, for reaching out. I apologize for the mistake and will ask the site owner if the 'cons' tag could possibly be replaced by the 'reluct' tag.

But I don't think the 'nc' tag should apply here, because the heroine's situation in part 7 is her own doing and was not imposed on her: she is the one who gave away her freedom by willingly accepting her transformation into a maidbot and letting herself be collared (in part 1), by willingly accepting Eleanor as the owner of her collar (in part 4) and by willingly accepting to transfer emergency control of her collar to the home computer (in part 6).

This has been changed now. Each part is edited and tagged on its own merits, and on the readthrough I did the overwhelming vibe here, aside from those few lines quoted, is the protagonist has settled into their new role and has come to accept it. You can argue it both ways of course but I'm happy to take Melissa's steer on which side to land on. 'nc' is, clearly not the right fit, there is no real active resistance here in this chapter, and the path by which they got to this place in previous chapters is not relevant to the tagging for this chapter.
