And I love it, thnx Teann and Tigerstretch.
I'm actually starting to feel bad for Mark.
Rooting for him and Erika as kitty in her current state is like the loveliest of crosses to bear.
What I found interesting from a story perspective is the way the coffin is used.
As a tool it is not that uncommon but it's usually depicted. From the perspective of the submissive. I had never given it any thought how disempowering, in a way, it would be for the top.
Especially if he/she was looking for more than just submission
Glad you liked it. That was the chapter I was the most nervous about. I saw the elements that my characters introduced as a risk that could have made people disconnect from the story.
It's interesting, indeed. I honestly didn't think about how other authors depicted similar scene in the past. I just wrote and described the feelings as I felt them, and they shaped the story line. I didn't have a desire to display the other side of the medal. I'm not that smart. It just happened.
I never plan any of my stories. You may not believe me, but the way I write is always the following.
1- I get a vague thought. Let's say, i want to write about a latex catgirl. (cause they are so cute)
2- I write down a title, just something random ... (as an exemple, for chapter 2, I was watching woodstock videos and Joe Cocker sang the song "With a little help from my friend". And when i wrote chapter 3, I watched a song from Richie Haven, Freedom. It makes no sense, but it is steering the storyline to a new place every single time.
3- I put a character or two in a location (Mark and Erika in a pub in this case)
4- I just follow them. I have no idea what they are going to do. (I honestly don't know)
In chapter 1, I had no idea what Mark was going to tell, no idea Kitty would appear, no idea why Mark was trying to date Erika while having Kitty already. I learned the reason only a few days before you did when I wrote chapter 5. When I write this way, all the ideas are coming effortlessly as if they are happening, I never get blocked and the story develops itself without any conflicts.
I'm not sure if that is why I present things differently ... But it seems to work for me so far.
Thanks, Mario!
