My front lawn graveyard has grown, but it still needs a tombstone or two and a fog machine would be awesome. It is one of my favorite times of the year and I hope to celebrate it with at least two tales. One of the tales is nearly complete and I intend to start another this coming tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also intend on working on the edits of chapter 8 of both 'Summer Training' and 'Double or Nothing' in prep for posting this month. Hopefully I will get to do some more writing on chapter 11 of 'Summer Training'. I hope you have enjoyed these two stories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Realistically, I hope to try to get some writing done on "On French Soil' and 'Wrath' after the holidays. I have at least one Christmas tale to write as your Christmas gift from me and I want to get a few more chapters done for 'Summer Training' and 'Double Or Nothing'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care and, as always, I look forward to any comments you might have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Play safe,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-428831636765694869?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/428831636765694869/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=428831636765694869' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/428831636765694869'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/428831636765694869'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2011/10/october-finally.html' title='October. . .finally'/><author><name>T.

A good example is what I was doing this afternoon. I am writing the 'serious' Halloween story for this year and I needed something to help me get into the tense mood I need to set. I did this by pawing through my soundtrack collection and putting in a few appropriate scores. On of my favorite for this is a Christopher Young score for Haunted Summer. It sets just the right mood for the beginning of the story. Later, I will turn to a few dark scores like 'The Dark Half' and Midnight Syndicates "13th Hour" and "Vampyre".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find that music sets the ambiance that I want and it is just plain easier to write.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that's my tidbit for the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care and play safe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-164319529082635903?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/164319529082635903/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=164319529082635903' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/164319529082635903'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/164319529082635903'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2011/09/putting-me-in-mood.html' title='Putting Me In The Mood. . .'/><author><name>T.

I a couple of hours marathon, chapter 10 blossomed and flourished. I can breathe a little easier knowing I have caught up to 'Summer Training'. Time line wise, 'Double' has not caught up but it should in the next couple of chapters. Now I can focus on getting chapter 7 of both stories edited and then dive into chapter 11 of 'Summer Training'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope everyone has liked the stories so far. The dual storylines have been a challenge but a good one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Halloween is coming up and I finally have an idea for my story this year. Yes, it will involve my favorite haunted house couple and a few friends. All I can say is that it was inspired by an old Bangles song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care and play safe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T.S. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-8534684922495498753?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/8534684922495498753/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=8534684922495498753' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/8534684922495498753'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/8534684922495498753'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2011/09/guess-what.html' title='Guess What. . .'/><author><name>T.

The thing is that there are certain events I need to happen in this chapter and they all seem to be taking their time getting to where they need to be. It looks like, at this point, it is going to be a 10 page chapter. . .a good 10 pages but about 4 pages more than I had planned. So, my other writing is being put on hold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the home front, I have a second interview this Friday for a part time position. Fortunately, if I get the job, the hours worked shouldn't interfere too much with my unemployment insurance. I have to make mortgage payments etc. and the part time job wouldn't even come close to fulfilling the paycheck I need. However, it is with a national company and I have expectations of it turning full time fairly quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to thank everyone who had purchased a copy of 'The Summer Project'.

It may sound like an ordinary thing but for me it is a small victory.  It is pretty grim out there and it is hard not to get depressed by it.  I know, however, that I will eventually get back to work because I need to. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You would think that I would have more time to write, being unemployed and all.  However, I have found that between sending out resumes and taking care of things around the house that have been put off for so long, I  actually have very little time to write.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have made some progress on Chapter 9 of 'Double or Nothing' and it will most likely end up being a long chapter.  Chapter 11 of 'Summer Training' has been started  as well and I am eager to get back to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am planning to transcribe more of 'The Care and Treatment. . .' soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care and play safe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T.S.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-1263042188591274499?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/1263042188591274499/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=1263042188591274499' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/1263042188591274499'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/1263042188591274499'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2011/08/out-there.html' title='Out There'/><author><name>T.

I am hoping for a somewhat quiet weekend to write but you never know around here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bondage model posted on the Yahoo group Rope_Dreams about why she became a bondage model and what the fetish means to her. It was very well written and I hope to get permission to repost it here. In the meantime, if you are interested, you can find it in adult Yahoo groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for me, I guess why bondage appeals to me is I am somewhat of a control freak and being teased by girls in Junior High fueled fantasies of revenge with rope. When I left the nest and went to college, I slowly became aware of many other people with like intrests. More importantly, any serious relationship I was in, the girl was not oppossed to being bound during love-making. In fact, my first 'bondage expierence' was at the behest of my girlfriend at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If any of you want to share your thoughts on this, please feel free to post them here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;take care and play safe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-6210788820407405906?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/6210788820407405906/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=6210788820407405906' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/6210788820407405906'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/6210788820407405906'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2011/04/want-more.html' title='Want more?'/><author><name>T.

Any comments are gladly accepted and encouraged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Erin stood out in their backyard, her skin flushed red from embarrassment. She was dressed in the skimpiest ‘bunny’ costume she had ever seen; a white, fishnet teddy with a white bunny ears headband, white nylon stockings and an uncomfortable fluffy little cottontail. But the costume was the least of her worries. Also part of her costume was a pair of white leather cuffs around her ankles, another pair of cuffs holding her wrists behind her back, a white leather collar and a neon pink ballgag fastened tightly in her mouth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     It wasn’t that Erin didn’t look stunning in her costume. She did. She kept her five foot frame trim by working out every week at the gym with her husband Kyle. She had a nice pair of C-cup breasts and a well rounded ass. Her auburn hair was kept in a cute pageboy cute and her blue-green cat-like eyes made her look almost pixie-like. She didn’t mind turning heads, just not like this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Her husband Kyle stood on the porch and waved at her. He was holding the remote that would activate the small egg vibrator inside her. He was still dressed in his flannel drawers and red plaid robe. He wasn’t much taller than Erin was, but he was a bit stockier in build. His blondish hair was still in spiky mess from last night and his brown eyes almost sparkled with mischief. He sipped casually at his mug of morning coffee and grinned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     The game was simple. It was a version of ‘hotter-colder’. The closer she got to where a colored egg was hidden, the lower her vibe would hum. He had told her that there were more than three dozen plastic Easter eggs hidden in their fenced-in back yard. Only one would fit the lock that would open the back garage door and let her inside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The egg vibrator inside her roared on and caused a rush of pleasure to gush through her. The game was on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     “Oh, by the way honey,” Kyle said as Erin looked around to spot some spot of color, “If you happen to cum while back here, you’re spending the rest of the day in back like you are.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Erin moaned her protests but she knew they fell on deaf ears. She focused her attentions on finding the eggs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     There were a few eggs she spotted right away in their tulip beds and she hopped the best she could over to them. Kyle at least had the decency to let her wear her sneakers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     As she jumped, Erin’s tail was becoming erotically uncomfortable. She didn’t know where he had got it, but the little ball of fluff on her ass was attached to a slender plug in her ass. With every hop, she could feel both the vibrator and the anal plug moving inside her, causing more ripples of bliss. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     The vibrator slowed and then stopped as she reached the raised bed where the tulips had already started to bud and blossom. She sat herself down on the bed’s brick wall, making she her tail wasn’t going to impale her some more, and reached around and picked up the egg, shaking it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     “Honey,” Kyle called, “You might want to open it just to make sure.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Erin grunted and rolled her eyes upward. She struggled to open the egg and finally when it was opened, she saw the reason why. Her husband had suspended in some gelatin a penny inside. He had first filled half the egg, put the coin in, drilled a small hole in the top of the egg and after it was fastened together, he filled the rest of the egg with the same gelatin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Damn him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     She scooted down a little further to a blue egg and again, found a penny floating in the clear gelatin. She found two other eggs in the bed before her vibrator started to buzz vigorously again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     As Erin got up to hop towards the lilacs planted along their tall wooden fence, she thought back to last night and how this started so innocently. Kyle had said that he had a surprise for her this Easter and if she wanted it, she would have to do as he said. Erin reluctantly agreed, knowing that it would probably involve some sort of bondage. They had been into it even before they got married and their fascination with leather and rope never went away. In fact, they both came up with new ways in which to play their games. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     A wave of rapture flooded through Erin and she had to stop. She was sure that Kyle had heard her, if not the neighbors next door. It was still very early in the morning and she hoped to find the key before it became too late. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     A few more hops along the blossoming lilacs, the vibrator slowed. Erin thanked God, since she didn’t know if she could have staved off an orgasm. As it was, it continued to tease her, keeping her kettle warm. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     She saw the purple egg and her humming companion stopped. Awkwardly, she squatted down a retrieved the egg, only to find another penny. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     As Kyle watched his wife hopping around the yard searching, his morning boner continued to ache. It had never gone away. From the moment he got out of bed and presented his wife with her ‘Easter Best’ to when she came out of the bathroom wearing it to watching her struggling to find the key before she gave in to her passion, his erection never fully went away. All he really wanted to do is carry her inside and make love to her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    However, he didn’t dare do it. That was the deliciousness of their games. The Waiting and wanting made the ending that much more intense. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    His wife hopped away from the lilacs and he cranked the vibrator on high. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Erin stopped, swooning as another billow of bliss ballooned within her. The pleasure swelled and stormed as she bit into her gag hard as she moaned. Like a head of steam, her passion continued to build and threatened to engulf her and she knew it would if she didn’t get hopping. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     The ebb and flow of the vibrators ministrations continued to keep Erin on edge as she searched. To her dismay, she found the some of the eggs were camouflaged and blended in with the lawn and foliage. She had meant to keep track of the eggs she found but she soon gave up. Her ever growing need clouded her thinking. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     She was hopping out in the middle of the lawn when she kicked an egg and the vibrator stopped. She knelt again and opened he green mottled egg. In there was the key. Quickly she rubbed the gel off, smiling around her gag. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Just then he turned the vibrator on high. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The blistering-hot ecstasy exploded with in her and she collapsed on the grass and writhed as the pleasure completely engulfed her. She bucked and screamed and contorted herself as her rapture tormented her again and again until she was too weak to do much else than drool and moan. When her vibrator stopped, she opened her eyes to find her husband standing over her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     “Now that you have the key, honey, I’ll be waiting for you inside. There is another treat that I need to put in your basket and it can’t wait too much longer.”&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;     Erin watched her husband walk back to the house, open the sliding glass door and locking it after him. Weakly she uncoiled herself and with difficulty, got back on her feet. Still holding the key, she hopped towards the garage. This was one treat she really didn’t want to miss. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     If you enjoyed this story and would like to see more of my writings, please e-mail me at FESSELN1@aol.com. , visit my weblog at http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/ or follow my latest updates on Twitter.

One of the most important ways I approach a story is how to describe it. The way I view myself is that I am a motion picture camera, trying to capture everything in the scene that is important and giving the reader a sense of place. For instance, I have a mental blueprint of Jeffery and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Stephanie's&lt;/span&gt; parents house. I know the layout, the furniture, the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;decor&lt;/span&gt;. I try to express that in words without detracting from the story itself. I know that I am not always successful but I hope that readers get a sense of the place as well.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;I am working on Chapters 7 and 8 of 'Summer Training'. What I had pictured taking up 1 to 2 chapters, is now running into 4. I have had some contenuity issues that I have had to correct, but I think the end product is going to be great. I still plan to release a chapter a month, but that might change if I get enough material written and proofed.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;Someone has graciously offered to proof 'On French Soil'. I know it is a massive undertaking and I hope (again) to get another chapter done for it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;So until next time, play safe&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-8855417012862233039?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/8855417012862233039/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=8855417012862233039' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/8855417012862233039'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/8855417012862233039'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2011/04/look-into-some-twisted-gray-matter-and.html' title='A Look Into Some Twisted Gray Matter (and other things)'/><author><name>T.

Both story lines seem to be flowing smoothly and I hope you are enjoying both.  I also started working on an Easter tale that has been on the back burners of my brain for years.  Working on that, I have come to the conclusion that it is more difficult to write consensual fiction than non-consensual pieces.  NC stories have a built in conflict that builds tension within the story.  Consensual pieces lack that intrinsic conflict thus one has to build it up differently such as the fear of being discovered by someone else or the partner not being who they claim to be.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;A good portion of my consensual pieces probably should be labeled 'Reluctant', a sort-of midpoint between consenting and non-consenting; doing things half willingly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;Overwhelmingly, non-consensual pieces are the ones that get more readers.  It is the whole taboo thing.  When playing, scenes that involve an &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;involuntary&lt;/span&gt; subject are much more erotic for both parties than just tying one up and getting it on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;This is more personal observation than anything.

In fact, the chapter will probably end up being two chapters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;Spring has started to arrive here and the yard and gardens will have to be attended to.

This is one of those times.  The first thing is that I have posted a new poll about taking advertising here and I wanted to ask you readers for your opinion.  Money has gotten tight around here and a few extra dollars would be nice, but not at the expense of readers.  So please fill out the poll and tell me what you think.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;I also thought I would give you some background stuff on 'The Summer Project'.  The working title was originally 'The Summer Before' and it was really meant as a lead in to a story that I had wrapped up in my brain earlier about a brother and sister that kidnap 3 of the sister's friends during a slumber party.  The problem I was having is why would the sister do that.  Thus the first sparks of what was to become 'Summer Project'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;'Double Or Nothing' started the same way.  I look at a story logically.  I really like to make a tale at least somewhat believable and Ray and Janice's collection of bondage gear was, how can I say, excessive.  Thus my mind started writing another story that explained this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;It seems like 'Maid Service Requested' is going to be made into a longer work.  The problem is I really haven't thought out a plot line for it.  The first story was an exercise in perception and I never really thought about a sequel to it.  However, I received a lot of e-mails pressing me to do a sequel to it and finally that got done.  I have a third piece in mind but beyond that is as blank as a fog bank.  I have no idea in which direction to take it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;My proofreader, Dave, has convinced me I need to add a thing or two to 'Summer Training' to reintroduce things that took place in 'Summer Project'.  I plan on reviewing the chapters this weekend and adding a few things here and there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;I have finished the rough draft of the second chapter to 'Double Or Nothing'.  I plan on going over it this weekend to add some finishing touches.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;That is it for today's ramblings.  Take care everyone and play safe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-1021928362443194033?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/1021928362443194033/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=1021928362443194033' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/1021928362443194033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/1021928362443194033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2011/02/just-stuff.html' title='Just Stuff'/><author><name>T.

They mean a lot to me and I hope to see more of them.  They help me see if I am going in the right direction with a story or not.  For instance, 'Double Or Nothing' has been posted on &lt;a href="http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;BDSM Library &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and of the thousands of hits it has received, not a single person has posted anything about whether they liked it or not.  Usually, if I write a few chapters and there is no comments, I usually drop the project. . .such as 'Sacrifice', a storyline that I thought was good but no one seemed to pay attention to it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     So please, give every author a minute or two of your time to tell them you thoughts.  They'll appreciate it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;Take care,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-2295469931840167332?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/2295469931840167332/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=2295469931840167332' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/2295469931840167332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/2295469931840167332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2011/02/comments.html' title='Comments'/><author><name>T.

If you haven't voted yet, please do.  The first story was meant to be a one-off, but soooo many people wanted a sequel that I knew it had to be written.  Now it seems that a good number of you don't want the story to end, at least not where I left it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;Take care, everyone, and play safe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-5763125348956221225?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/5763125348956221225/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=5763125348956221225' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/5763125348956221225'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/5763125348956221225'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2011/01/progress.html' title='Progress. . .'/><author><name>T.

I had started the sequel to 'Maid Service Requested' not long after posting 'Maid', however time and other projects got in the way and it sat there in parts and pieces waiting to be assembled. It took a lot longer than I thought to complete it but I am happy with the result, even though I played with the ending quite a bit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;I really don't know what I want to start on next. More 'Summer Training' is tempting while I have the plot fresh in my skull. 'Double Or Nothing' also has the same splotch on my gray matter. The latest chapter of 'On French Soil' is nearly complete and I find that trying to finish is much more difficult than I had imagined. I know that I have to be in the 'right mood' sound like a cop out, but putting my thoughts 'In Period' recently has been hard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;I am also slowly working on the Index Of Stories page. Eventually I hope to have links and such included.

First, with the completion of 'Summer Project', I will begin 'Summer Training'. I won't give up any details, but Stephanie's training as a slave to Jeffery will continue. My hopes of completing 'Do Not Disturb' over the holidays has vanished, but I still hope to complete it here very soon. I am putting the final touches on a new chapter of 'On French Soil' and hope to add more chapters to it and to 'Wrath'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;Since non-&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;consensual&lt;/span&gt; works seem to be better received by my readers, a new storyline has developed in my twisted gray matter. The first chapter of 'Double Or Nothing' will appear soon. It is one of those things that I have kept in the back of my head since midway through 'Summer Project' but have never actually got to writing it. I hope to satisfy those of you out there that enjoy that sort of fiction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;As you can see my 'Index Page' is slowly evolving. I am not adept as I should be with &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;internet&lt;/span&gt; technologies so it might be slow going before I get links to all the stories. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;You can also see in my index that there are numerous stories that have not been completed. I hope to finish a few of them this coming year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;As always, I enjoy any comments or e-mails you wish to write. Not all websites have a comment area so the only way of letting me know what you thought is by you commenting here or through e-mails.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and the your New Year is bright and joyous.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-4583445274960808744?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/4583445274960808744/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=4583445274960808744' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/4583445274960808744'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/4583445274960808744'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2010/12/things-in-inbox.html' title='Things In The Inbox'/><author><name>T.

It has been awhile since I have related my personal views of bondage and that has been where my thoughts have been this morning. It is really hard to describe the feeling of having a woman laying beside you bound and gagged. She trusts you with her safety and her pleasure. She has given you herself on a silver platter for both herself and you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;I have never really been a trusting person by past &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;experience&lt;/span&gt;. Being shy and a nerd, I was teased quite a bit in school. It wasn't until college that I started dating. By then, my tastes in the bedroom had already formed. It was hard when relationships started get serious because I was afraid in revealing my love of helpless women would drive them away. Fortunately, most understood and actually desired to be tied. I guess it was the kind of women I was attracted to and the type of person that I am.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;Anyway, to have a woman that has given up her freedom even if it is for an hour or two is one of the warmest feelings I have ever had.

At least, the first draft of it is done.  'The Summer Project' is a completed work.  The next step is to smooth out the wrinkles and ship it off to my proof reader to edit.  After that, it gets shipped back to me, I make the necessary changes and then the next step is posting it and getting the e-book together with Burping Frog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     'Summer Training' will be the next 'book' of the two book series.  I have a basic outline in my head, however, that can change fairly quickly.  I am not planning to commit fully to 'Summer Training' until after the first of the year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     Next, I am planning to finish the sequel to 'Maid Service Requested.'

After playing a few nearly-mindless games on the computer, I decided to do some editing and writing.  As the result, chapter 25 of 'Summer Project' is nearly complete.  As of this moment, the page count sits at 20 and t looks like it will end at page 21 or so.  I hope to finish it this weekend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;      As I 'put this one to bed', I have to say that I am pleased with what I have written.  It has become a finished work.  From what was just a collection of situations and positions it has, I hope, developed into something a little bit more with believable characters and believable bondage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     It was a long journey to get to this point, longer than I had ever anticipated.  Stephanie and Jeffery are finally getting the ending they needed to have.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     'On French Soil' is the next on the chopping block to get finished.  I have stopped working on the latest chapter in order to finish 'Summer Project'.  The fire is still there to finish it so all I really need is some time to do it.  Also, the 'sequel' to 'Maid Service Requested' is so close to the finish line that it would be a crime not to complete it shortly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     Gromet has his Halloween pages up so drop by and take a look.  'Invaded' is there as well as several other new stories (and old).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;Take care&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-8830325266148992482?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/8830325266148992482/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=8830325266148992482' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/8830325266148992482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/8830325266148992482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2010/10/nearing-end-of-summer.html' title='Nearing The End Of &apos;Summer&apos;'/><author><name>T.

The later has not been flowing together the way that I like and I feel like I am forcing some issues with it.  So, I pulled up the last chapter I had been working on for 'On French Soil' and have started to slowly add to it.  I have forgotten some of the complexities of the story line and had to read my notes on the matter.  I am sure that I will have a much better go of it once I strat writing on more of a regular basis.  The new series on Showtime 'Pillars Of The Earth' has also helped set the tone/mood for getting back into writing a period piece.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     Take care, everyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-6070249193183661603?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/6070249193183661603/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=6070249193183661603' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/6070249193183661603'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/6070249193183661603'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2010/08/on-french-soil.html' title='On French Soil'/><author><name>T.

Of course, I first had to slaughter some weeds and replace a leaky faucet hose on the sink, but I still managed to get 2 1/2 pages written for 'The Summer Project' chapter 24. I am still debating on how I want to end the first 'book' and begin the second. Part of me is leaning towards my typical cliffhanger ending that I am sure, piss more than a few people off. Part of me wants to wrap the first 'book' up so it is a completed storyline but with a lead in into the next 'book'. The later will probably turn out to be two chapters rather than the final one. The 'One Chapter Solution' would &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;definitely&lt;/span&gt; make sure readers jump to the next series of writings involving Jeffery &amp;amp; Co. . Regardless, progress is being made towards completion of whatever it turns out being.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;I have started to glance at my notes and outlines for 'On French Soil' so I can start where I left off. It is a complicated storyline and I hope start writing something for it within the next two weeks. I am also re-reading Shakespeare's 'Henry The V' so I can get the rhythm of the diction back into place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;For those of you that are fans, please feel free to follow me on Twitter or right here on &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Blogspot&lt;/span&gt;.

It looks like I will be working on 'On French Soil' as well as finishing up 'Summer Project'.  'On French Soil' is this authors favorite storyline and I have put off adding to it for way too long of a time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     I was somewhat surprised that 'Sacrifice' did not get a single vote, especially since the last poll showed several of you wanting to see something in the 'fantasy' genre with bondage involved.  If you haven't read it, you can find it on Gromet's website.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     I hope to get some writing done this weekend.

However, I am taking today off as a mental health day. I had fully intended to sleep in, but my internal clock told me it was time to get up so here I am.

I won't go into the details, but needless to say the waiting around for commitments he had made and didn't bother to call for change of plans killed  Saturday and Sunday and has spilled over into today (having to take a day off of work to do what he should have been doing). So, after getting home I needed to do something 'constructive' and I started to work on 'Not Your Garden Variety' story again and made significant progress. It also put me in a much better mood. I should have the story done this weekend and posting it to &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Gromet's&lt;/span&gt; website.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;I would also like to finish the sequel to 'Maid Service Requested' which has been languishing in my computer.

I plan to work on the finishing touches to 'Not Your garden Variety' tomorrow, if my cats allow me to.  The youngest has ensconced herself in front of my computer screen and is toying with anything loose on my desk.  Her current plaything is an orange pen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;It was inevitable, but someone has guessed at the ending of 'Summer Project,' at least, close enough to call it.  I was hoping to keep it a surprise, but apparently there are a few twisted, like-minded readers out there.  There will be a twist or two coming, however, that I hope nobody sees coming.  The final chapter is pretty much written in my head, I just need to transfer it into the computer.  It will be a long chapter, with the possibility of becoming two (but I plan to release both at the same time if that is the case.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;The next 'Book' in the Stephanie/Jeff saga will continue where the first book left off.  'Summer Project' will be able to stand on it's own, but the second 'Book' will be a sequel in the truest sense.  I have yet to come up with a &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;suitable&lt;/span&gt; title, but I think I am getting closer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;Take care, everyone, and play safe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-8376595818066280609?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/8376595818066280609/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=8376595818066280609' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/8376595818066280609'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/8376595818066280609'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2010/06/not-your-garden-variety-and-other.html' title='&apos;Not Your Garden Variety&apos; and Other Things'/><author><name>T.

Both are going well and I hope to complete them by the end of this month.  'Breaking Bread' is a fun self-bondage tale that came about while I was using my bread machine.  I don't do a lot of self-bondage stories, but this one just sort-of started writing itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;'On French Soil' will be the next project I need to tackle, at least add another chapter or two.  It is one of those stories I have to re-read in order to get back into the 'style' of the tale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;On a side note, as I was writing 'Breaking Bread', my mind wandered a bit to remembering one of the sexiest bondage photographs I had ever seen.  It was one of a young Michelle Bauer, nude, gagged and hogtied on the carpeted floor.  The black-and-white photo was taken by Sean Harper and, to me, the essence of what bondage is.  I was in college when I saw it for the first time and the image is still as sharp in my mind as the first time I saw it in the pages of the adult magazine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;It is funny how some things stick with you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;Take care&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-1918099536037284834?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/1918099536037284834/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=1918099536037284834' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/1918099536037284834'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/1918099536037284834'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2010/01/slaving-away.html' title='Slaving Away'/><author><name>T.

Personally, I really don't enjoy inflicting it in my personal life.  There are other, subtle tortures I like to inflict on my partners (tickling and teasing, to name a couple).  I have known 1 or two 'pain sluts' in my wanderings, but on some deep level I never understood it.  From an intellectual standpoint, I know about the release of endorphins and how that 'high' is what that sub is looking for.  For me, however, pain is pain and usually to be avoided.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;Now, I have used floggers in a limited way, adjustible clamps as well as candle wax; all of these with great moderation.  I have professional training in the use of the whip but I would never use one on a human being.  I could also see myself spanking or paddling someone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;That being said, you can know see how it affects my writing.  I very rarely use pain as a substitute for pleasure in my stories and that is the reason why.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;Take care&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;T.S.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34115671-9060417981536381895?l=fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/feeds/9060417981536381895/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34115671&amp;postID=9060417981536381895' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/9060417981536381895'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34115671/posts/default/9060417981536381895'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fesselnsfiction.blogspot.com/2010/01/pain.html' title='Pain'/><author><name>T.

For me, I love the sounds a woman makes while gagged.  Of the few I have had the pleasure of gagging, I found they were more vocal with the gag than without.   I have never been really turned on by 'dirty talk' and the gag also eliminates that as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;     When playing, it is hard to have a safe word when gagged, so we usually use a hummed song to let the other know that something is wrong.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;     There is also a huge variety of gags on the market now, not just the old red ball gag.  Some are more effective than others and some allow some oral play while still inhibiting 'free speech'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;     If you have a gag story you would like to share, please feel free to post it here or e-mail me.

Most of the time they just pop into my twisted gray matter like a thorny rose.  Other times, a reader might make a suggestion that starts to take on a life of it's own.  Today, I was typing on Chapter 23 of 'Summer Project' while I was baking some bread when a story idea just flowered.  In fact, I stopped what I was working on and started the new story before the thought disappeared into the ether.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;     At times it may seem that I am ignoring any ideas or suggestions you may have made, but in truth, they may be aging quietly until the right story come along.

My work schedule has calmed down a bit though it is still very stressful, to say the least.  I won't go into details, but the next few months will test my mettle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     First, I will complete the first 'book' of The Summer Project.  I am actually hoping to do this by the end of January.   I have an outline of what I want to occur during the next chapter or two (I am still wavering whether or not I can get it all done in one chapter or two).  I will also complete a few chapters of the next 'book' tentatively entitled 'Revealing Summer', but that could change before posting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     I am also going to take time to revisit 'On French Soil'.  It is long overdue and I need to add several more chapters as well trying to do the same with 'Wrath'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     My electronic vault of started short stories is also rather cramped, so I need to finish some of those.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     In short, I need to finish stuff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;     That doesn't mean I won't get side-tracked by a new project that happens to emerge from my rather twisted  gray matter.
