A bit of an update as one year ago today the first two parts of this series were published on this site. It had a surprising positive reaction from a small group of people which was nice. As expected as it seems to happen to pretty much every other writer or story, the initial reaction dies off for various reasons. But I figure a few people at least wouldn't mind an update where things are at.
While only 10 stories have made it here so far, 11 and 12 have been submitted with 13 coming soon. I expect 11 to be available soon but I don't know how many stories from others are in queue ahead of it. I am currently trying to finish 15 in which I am at the end of the initial writing and debating some choices that would need rewriting.
The next portion of the story after 10 is split into two parts as their was more than expected again. Part 11 which I believe is titled 'Titclits and Footsie' introduces Greg and Macy as the submissive couple who won the draw for the date with Emma at the show later that evening. This story takes place with their initial meeting and goes through the events of dinner.
Part 12 which ended up titled 'Variety Show' continues with Greg and Macy's date through the show and the results of the little competition set up in 11 and ending with what had been a difficult day for Emma.
Part 13, 'Maid Duty' leaves Emma dealing with the aftermath of the previous day before earning her maid uniform. Emma also witnesses the lunch between Ophelia and Victoria where there is more background found out about both including how Ophelia ended up with Victoria in the first place.
The same happened for 14 and 15 as 7 and 8 and 11 and 12 even though when I started 14 I wasn't sure I had enough to write a full story properly. Turned out there was a lot of interaction and dialog with plenty of characters from previous stories as well as new ones. Two new worshipers are inducted during the Unicorn Goddess chastity drive. Mostly it advances the stories to a few side characters especially from 6 and sets up future possibilities.
I have not officially started part 16 as I haven't finished 15 fully yet though it is close. I have thought about it extensively and wouldn't be surprised if it becomes two parts as well. Emma will be a guest for this first fashion show but she will have a special escort for it and the after party.
I have been updating my document for this series as it is a huge help in tracking things as long as I maintain it. I would estimate at the current pace of my writing, I have written about 20 to 25 percent of the story I plan to tell. Since you haven't seen all that I have written it means you have read significantly less. The calendar is useful as I slot in scenes. Their are plenty of open slots still but that is intentional for now. Major scenes that are time sensitive are slotted. Important scenes that are not time sensitive have been slotted and get changed on when they will be written based on new ideas or decisions made as I write stories. There is constantly new ideas for things to do and I have a list of those and not all things will make it in but better to have too many ideas than not enough.
Tracking and keeping bios of main characters and the side characters has been useful so I don't have to go back as often to refresh who and what people are and what I intended them to be. There is a balance I am still learning and working on as I want my characters to feel real and less generic. Some are meant to be more generic and filler as a tool to tell the story. But I want people to care about the characters and be invested. As I read plenty of books, the more I am invested in the characters as well as the world, the more I enjoy them. So I am trying to recreate that aspect I enjoy when reading others.
Dialogue. It's a tricky thing from a couple stand points. I have gotten plenty of positive comments about mine from the stories so far. It really feels like a double edged sword. It is useful when done right and can enhance a story. Some of my stories are a little too dialogue heavy that I am afraid of turning away people who don't like it. But I find it useful to help display the various personalities of characters and at times reveal important information even if it isn't obvious at first.
The other thing about dialogue is it takes me longer to write. The main reason is I go through the whole conversation in my head hundreds of times. Most often with tweaks and different variants. Even as I often finally type it, I still only get a sentence or two accomplished before I literally go through the whole conversation in my head again. Then I have to stop myself and restart the conversation and type in more. It's one of the main reasons I haven't written as much as expected. I have literally had all the conversations in my head hundreds of times before they are written and often much of those conversations are cut and not seen. I try to keep these in short story format so I can't really put in everything that goes through my head. So I am still working out balance.
Another thing that jumps out as I write is that my story telling is changing as I learn and understand and develop the plot and characters more. I am sure 10 is vastly different from 1. It isn't intentionally as much as I hope as it is growth. In many series I have read over the years, the early stories tend to be subpar compared to the later as the writer's idea and style take form more prominently. So I am sorry if these developments change people's interest overall especially in a negative way.
I still very much plan to finish. I have had an ending in mind since the beginning. It has just taken longer to get there than expected. The details are constantly changing because more people are involved and the individual characters are evolving as I write them. But my original base idea for the ending is still there. My hope is I cover up most of the loose ends I have and will create.
Another area many have commented on is the switch aspect from Emma. That will continue as it is an important part of Emma’s personality and that of the story. It isn't going anywhere even if a story or two are more focused her domme or submissive tendencies based on what is going on and who she is interacting with. It's another area of balance I am working through.
While many characters will develop throughout, this adventure or journey is still focused on Emma. While reasonably experienced in some areas at the start, she is truly on a path that will change her significantly physically, mentally, and emotionally. More of that has been coming out in recent stories and will continue. The crazy adventure she will experience be full of up and downs, turns and most definitely twists. I still wanted this to be a positive overall story but at the same time negative things happen and overcoming them are important as well. I am aware their are those who prefer happy endings. I get questioned a lot about less happy endings and I will likely have both cause as a reader I do enjoy both though they will be seperate entities and the happier ending more canon as I have ideas to continue her story after if I decide to.
A few scheduled or likely scenes to come in no particular order include more time at the ranch including puppy and pony play and possibly some more hucow. Emma as some have asked is bi and expected scenes with Master Robert and Zell are coming. Another demonstration or two with Janice as the two up the ante with each other and others. Some demonstrations with Miss Keys and others. More time in prison and the tortue chamber rooms. Role-play with Victoria. And the return of Nix. I know there was interest in more of her and that has always been planned. There are a few other things definitely planned but don't want to spoil them yet.
I am probably forgetting a bunch of things I planned to say but this has already taken me nearly 3 hours to type out. Hopefully those who still read them and look at the forums will continue to enjoy what is coming.
As an aside, early November I am going on a cruise. Sadly it isn't a fetish cruise as there are only a couple publicized that I have scene in any case. But this one may spark to give new ideas and more authenticity in the writing experience. The only other time I was on a cruise was 31 years ago. I turned 17 on the boat as it was about two weeks before I started my senior year of high school. Much different experience back then and while I had a vague interest back then in areas of BDSM, there was no internet at least in a practical or useful form nor easy access to information especially as a minor. So while I am enjoying a family vacation, I will be looking for ideas to enhance my stories.
