Happy bounces!

Looking at the dates, it has been a LONG wait!  I have read, and re-read the first 2 parts of this story many times over the years since they were first published, and to be honest, long since given up on ever seeing more from this author, seeing more of this story, which was always a little sad, since it ended on such a sudden, and unexpected cliff hanger.

So discovering that the story had started up again was such a happy surprise

The direction, in a sense, feels like it is changing away from an exploration of Natsuko and her love of being kept bound in the box and teased, yet at the same time, the story really is continuing to explore her love of being helpless, controlled, and the pleasure and teasing that comes with this, from this.

The story continues to be sexy, and with strong characters, making this a lot of fun.

It is interesting to see Natsuko being pushed, but this is done so well, only pushing her towards and into actions that she is willing to agree with for now, not breaking the hold that the mysterious voice has over her and her actions.  And while this is happening her poor husband still thinks and accepts that all of this is coming purely from her, which makes sense, since from the outside not that much has really changed.

As a romantic at heart, I am really pleased to see her husband responding to how deep his wife has gone, and searching for guidance, for help, for support.  He is doing everything he knows to do to support, love and be there for his wife, even as she has become so distant from him in parts of her life, spending so much of her time in the box, and drowning in the pleasures and torments that it offers.

Seeing Natsuko at the clinic is very sexy, and I do wonder if we are ever going to see more of the woman from the clinic.  It somehow seems unlikely, but that also feels like a shame.

As for the ending, I have a guess, a wild theory.  Given how deep into the computers our mystery voice is, what are the odds that he becomes the contact point for the husband?  After all, some of the obvious next steps for making the website better are going to involve modifications, and improvements to the hardware of the box, which means the husbands "help" and input...  now, unless he is brought into the secret of his wife's blackmail, and that is currently very much against the instructions, this is a problem.

But, given the mysterious ending, and the need to keep the website moving forward, if somehow this could all be billed as "helping" his wife, then it would make sense...

I really do hope that our wonderful author has some plans here, and we don't have to wait many years for more of this wonderful and amazing story!

Thank you for your thoughtful response feline! It's really rewarding and helpful to hear what readers like yourself are enjoying, especially since I've gotten so much out your stories over the years.

It's also interesting to hear your thoughts on where this might go, although I hope you're not too disappointed since it doesn't really align with your speculation. For better or worse this story has been in my head for almost 20 years now which means I knew where the characters were going to end up before I wrote the first word, and while I have tweaked a few things along the way, nothing that has changed the overall trajectory of the story arc.

Since you were kind enough to share your feedback, I will mention one possible change to the original story that I'd love to get your thoughts on. The original story sort of closed out "the voice" part of the story and moved Natsuko into a new chapter, less about the box and more about exploring her submission outside the box. Sorry if I'm being vague, but I'm also trying not to reveal spoilers until the next piece is at least in draft form. Honestly after keeping this story in my head for so long I'm considering either putting a bow on it and calling it done after the box part is complete, or at the very least, maybe offering readers the option of an alternate ending that explores her post-box submission. One thing I'm reluctant to do is to create another cliff hanger and then have readers wait for the post-box writing, since it could easily be as long as one or two of the current chapters.

There in lies my dilemma and my question for you: should I simply finish the story after the box part is complete, and give readers closure on the story, or should I offer them a choice to have a much longer conclusion as an alternate ending?  If I went with the alternate ending option that would make the next chapter shorter and offer a significantly longer extended version at a later date. Thoughts?

Finally I can't make any promises, but I have made significant headway on the closing out the box part of the story, so with a little luck, that could be ready for review here in a matter of months instead of years this time. If you and others want to see where Paul and Natsuko go after that, it would be a much longer wait for that. 

Thanks again for your thoughts, and also for posting it on the other site this story appears, since as you astutely figured out, I watch that site more closely than the forum here :/

I wanted to also thank you for your comments Mike! It means a lot to hear people are enjoying my writing and it definitely gives me motivation to write more

I just found your story and I wanted to say its so good you did more then the one chapter, I did wonder at first if it was Paul who was behind the voice. I think it was great he turned out not to be and is so confused by Natsuko's insistence to be put back in the box. I for one would love to read more, I know that puts pressure on you to think of ideas but it would be such a shame to just leave it where Paul found this therapist.  I would really enjoy learning who "the voice" is and given his increasing interest and interaction with Natusko maybe his plans are evolving as well?

Even if it meant you writing a follow on story where we could follow her being pulled ever deeper under his control somehow Im sure it would be very popular with the readers.  this is such a great story it gripped me from the beginning and when i finished part 3  i was looking for the next part desperately. If you can please do write more about her cant wait.

Thanks catman65! I think I work a bit differently than most writers because I create the entire story in my head before I start typing the first word. So for me it's not about coming up with more ideas, it's about finding time to get the story already in my head written down. While I'm normally reluctant to do spoilers, since you were kind enough to write and are interested in reading more about the voice I'll share that the next chapter will resolve the entire box story arc and if you like the voice character that might be disappointing to you.

Per my comments to feline earlier in this thread, I originally planned on the "final" chapter both finishing the box story arc and then following it with a kind of denouement about what happens to Natsuko afterwards, but I'm leaning now towards finishing the box story arc and if folks want more on Natsuko and Paul then I'll have an alternate ending with what amounts to a brand now chapter on what happens outside the box.

At one point I even wrote a kind of sequel in my head where 18 year old Erika and her friend find the trunk in the attic. So again, if readers want more Natsuko, I could conceivably add yet one more chapter after the conclusion to the box arc, and after the outside the box chapter. 

My "kids" often talk about fan fiction so if you or anyone else wanted to crate an alternate storyline where the voice hangs around longer than my next closure part describes, I'd be flattered to have someone write a fan faction alternative to my ending.

Honestly, I've probably got a dozen other stories in my head I'd like to get out there which is why I'm looking at concluding the box story arc, going off and writing at least one or two more of my newer ones, and then maybe coming back to finish Natsuko's story, but this time without a 10+ year cliffhanger.

Thanks again for your comments! Even with the complete story in my head, it's a lot of work to type up and edit, often multiple times to get it to a point I'm comfortable posting it. so hearing that people like yourself are enjoying my writing is what motivates me to find the time to write more
