A Few Personal Observations And Such. . .

I have been working on getting chapters done for both 'Summer Training' and 'Double Or Nothing', stockpiling them so there isn't much of a lag between chapters. 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.

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.

Overwhelmingly, non-consensual pieces are the ones that get more readers. It is the whole taboo thing. When playing, scenes that involve an involuntary subject are much more erotic for both parties than just tying one up and getting it on.

This is more personal observation than anything. Take care and play safe.

Finishing Touches

I have added some finishing touches to chapter 5 of 'Summer Training' and it is off to my proof reader to mangle. I have decided that there was too much going on to put it into a single chapter, so what I had intended to go into one chater will be developed into two.

Chapter 5 of 'Double Or Nothing is also being sent out as well.

Take care and play safe

Finally

The first chapter of 'Summer Training' has finally shown up on Gromet's website and should be appearing soon elsewhere. I am currently working on chapter 5 of the same story and finding it more plot line than erotica. There will be a bondage scene in there, but it will be a small portion on the chapter. In fact, the chapter will probably end up being two chapters.

Spring has started to arrive here and the yard and gardens will have to be attended to. It is still to early for plantings since we usually see at least one snowfall in April. But there is plenty to do so my free time to write will be limited.

So far, there has been good comments on both 'Double Or Nothing' and the conclusion of 'Summer Project'. I have also received a few comments about 'Summer Training'. Please feel free to throw in your two-cents worth. I helps me write better stories.

Take care for now and play safe.

Where is 'Summer Training'?

Well, I have had a reply from Gromet and there was a mix-up that will be corrected. To help get 'Summer Training' out there, I will begin posting the first chapter today so that you should be seeing it up on your favorite site soon as well as posting the second 'proofed' chapter of 'Double Or Nothing'.

I am hoping to do some more work on both storylines as well as working on a Easter themed story.

Take care everyone and play safe

Maddening March. . .

Things here are rather busy, to say the least. I had hoped to have 'Summer Training' posted on Gromet's site by now. I am planning on finishing another chapter of 'Double Or Nothing' and going on to complete one for 'Summer Training'. There is an Easter story that I have been planning to write for years now and I think this will be the month for it.

I have been told be several of readers through e-mails and comments, that they have purchased the 'Summer Project' e-book even when they had found the complete story online. Thank you. Your support is very much appreciated. Money is very tight around here and every penny counts.

Ads should be appearing soon on this site. If they don't work out, then I will take them off.

Take care, everyone, and play safe.

T.S.

Thank you. . .

I just wanted to thank everyone for their comments on 'The Summer Project', both here and via private e-mails. It has posted to several sites now and should be on them all within a week. The e-book is also available on several e-book sites as well with the cover being done by my friend Robert Dean.

I plan on working on 'Summer Training' this weekend between chores. With snow in the forecast for Friday, I am sure that I will spending quite a bit of time indoors. I am working on chapter 5, a difficult chapter since there is a lot of things going on, but I hope to at least get a portion of it completed.

So far, 'Double Or Nothing' has had some positive comments and ratings. I am working on chapter 4 currently.

The reason I am doing chapters in advance is that I want to make sure there is no long wait periods between postings. I know it was frustrating for some readers the length of time between chapter of other stories and this is a way of avoiding some of that.

Take care, everyone, and play safe.

Route 21 Red has posted

'Route 21 Red' has posted to Gromet's Plaza in the self bondage section. This story has it's roots in the challenge I put forth last year (?) where readers submitted scenarios for me to write. One involved public transportation thus this story was born. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Everyone have a wonderful weekend and play safe

Facebook. . .

Yes, I have succumbed to having a 'Facebook' account. Just look for T.S. Fesseln. Not much there yet, I am afraid and I have yet to get familiar with the format.

Take care

Summer Project 25 Posted

The final chapter of 'Summer Project' has been posted on Gromet's Plaza and should be posting in the next week or two on other websites. 'Summer Training' should follow soon. I have re-worked the first 2 chapters and will probably work on the third tomorrow. The first chapter of 'Double Or Nothing' has posted to several other websites so it should be easy to find.

'Double Or Nothing' and 'Summer Training' will be two parallel story lines, each taking place about the same time and dovetailing into each other from time to time. I am undecided at this point about having a fourth 'book' that will tie the storylines together as one. We will see.

I like to thank all of you readers for your comments.

Take care and play safe

Just Stuff

What I find nice about a blog is that I can sometimes ramble a bit. 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.

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'.

'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.

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.

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.

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.

That is it for today's ramblings. Take care everyone and play safe.

Comments

I want to thanks those of you that post comments, be they here or on the websites where the stories are posted. 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 BDSM Library 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.

So please, give every author a minute or two of your time to tell them you thoughts. They'll appreciate it.


Take care,

The Tale Of Two Indexes

For those frequent visitors, you may notice that the 'link' to my first index is now gone. The reason for this is I really don't want to put my efforts into 2 indexes. The Index Page is the one I am putting my current efforts into, with links directly to the stories so you don't have to hunt them down if you don't want to.

The Index Page link can be found in the upper left-hand corner on my blog. I should take you right there.

I have received the proofed chapters to 'Summer Training'. My proofreader made some valid comments so there will be a few revisions made before sending them to be posted.

Take care

T.S.

Double Or Nothing

The first chapter of 'Double Or Nothing' has been sent out for posting. You should see it soon on your favorite websites. I will be send out the 4th chapter of 'Summer Training' to be proofed.

Take care and be safe.

T.S.

Progress. . .

Progress has been made in getting the new index page done. I have most of the stories linked to at least 1 website and I am working on getting them all done. I hope this makes it more convenient for everyone to find the stories they want to read.

I have also made progress on 'Summer Training' The 4th chapter is done and soon it will be shipped off to my proofreader for polishing. The finished chapters of 'Summer Training' will not be posted all at once, rather they will be spaced so I can be more 'regular' in posting them.

I have to say that I was a bit taken back by how many readers want 'Maid' to be a book-length story. 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.

Take care, everyone, and play safe

Things n' Stuff

It is a blustery day out this way and the wind kept me awake a portion of the night and the fighting cats outside, another portion.

My computer decided to go belly-up a day or two ago and even though I have files backed-up, I hadn't backed up recently. Fortunately, I have access to the files I e-mailed out for posting and editing, so I haven't lost much. But I imagine that rebuilding the computer will be a priority today nd tomorrow.

I have completed chapter 4 of 'Summer Training' and have sent chapters 1 through 3 to have proofed. Once I have these back in my hands, I intend to post both the last chapter of 'Summer Project' and the first of 'Summer Training'. I also hope to post the first chapter of 'Double Or Nothing'.

So far, my writings have been the only 'good' thing about 2011 and I hope to keep them up.

Take care, everyone.

T.S.

Changes To Index Page

If you have looked at the index page recently, you may have noticed a few changes. One of those changes is adding links directly to the story. This is a slow process, but I hope to get it completed soon. I am hoping that it will make finding my writings more convenient.

Take care and I hope to hear from you.

T.S.

A Longer 'Maid'

It has been suggested that 'Maid Service Requested' and 'Do Not Disturb' be lengthened into a 'book' length piece like 'Summer Project'. Although I am not adverse to this, I wanted to see how you readers felt about it. I have placed another poll up about this so please let me know.

This weekend is going to be a busy weekend around the house. The weather is nice and both indoor and outdoor chores need to be completed.

Take care and have a wonderful day.

'Exchanges'

The Winter Fetish story 'Exchanges' has been post on Gaggedutopia's website. Please read all of the entries, enjoy and vote.

Summer Training

For those that follow me on Twitter, it will come as no suprise that I am currently working on Chapter 3 of 'Summer Training'. I have tried to work on other projects, but 'Training' keeps on creeping into my writing time. The plot seems to be cementing itself even as I write. I am also working on 'Double Or Nothing' a bit as well. The two go hand-in-hand even though they are seperate story lines.

I promise I will work on 'On French Soil' and 'Wrath' shortly. Promise. However, with 'Summer Project' finished and doing well, working on 'Summer Training' seems to be the right thing to do.

I hope everyone's New Year was safe and joyous.

Please feel free to e-mail me or comment on anything you read here.

Play safe,

T.S.

Happy New Year

Greetings everyone and a happy new year. I hope everyone had a wonderful celebration last night. I plan on working on something this weekend, but I am not sure what. With 'Do Not Disturb' finished, I guess I should start looking at getting to work on 'On French Soil'.

From time to time, I remind readers of my Fesseln's Fiction informal consenual vs non-consenual poll. Please feel free to contribute.

take care everyone and be safe.
