I have to admit that I lost track of this series for a bit, (I don't always get the time to read as much as I might like) but yesterday with some time on my hands I binge-read all the way to chapter eight; it's a wonderful kinky adventure... I love the dark downward spiral these characters are all trapped in, and I can't wait for the inevitable hard landing at the end... that is after chapter eight.
Personally speaking it would also be nice if there were two potential endings, maybe a not so nice one, and a more "happily ever after" one. Or, maybe you could revisit with these characters at some point in the future; as in five years later Jo gets sold off at the human on-line auction to somebody far away, maybe after Chris loses his mind completely and becomes a babbling pile of psychological mush; so nothing more than a collared human robot for Freya to both torment and provide for in perpetuity. Or, if it's to be really really dark, Chris at some point gets his guy parts removed in the dungeon while under a local atheistic (so he can watch while helplessly bound) and they then end up stored in a jar on somebody's desk, as in there is no turning back now?
Pay-per-view on the event, or even on a bunch of the events to date maybe? I could imagine this could be an alternate revenue stream for some of the participants, or even just for Freya exclusively maybe, if Jo and Chris are visually appealing, if their torments are animated and "real" looking. If this scenario is in chapters nine to twelve please disregard, I don't want to spoil the conclusion for myself by reading the ending first...
Since slaves don't own things I could also see Jo's considerable wealth being confiscated by Freya at some point, (by some creative manipulation, perhaps even lightly tortured into giving up certain passcodes) all to finance her own kinky pursuits. Jo would then be used and abused by Freya until the novelty eventually wore off, then shared with other less kind "guests" after that, and then eventually auctioned off to an unknown fate, perhaps even delivered in a shipping crate to her new owner, in another country, via private plane. It's objectifying I know, but also the perfect ironic demise for a wanna-be dom not up to the full challenge.
As an author it takes time and words to build such a fictional world, and this one you've built allows for some creative mulit-directional endings, and as an author myself I have to say that I'm a bit envious...
Thank you again for sharing this wonderful tale, Jackie.
