Rachael Ross: Blog

This is a really weird story. Kind of a goofy one and I wasn't sure if it would continue, but it is. It was written about 6 or 7 years ago. Maybe? And it's a real pain editing for grammar, but I'm trying to go through the chapters. Back then I was almost as bad at writing as I am now and so there's a lot to fix.

But like I say, it's really goofy and just plain porn, with nothing terribly redeeming to save its soul. I think the first 3 chapters are the best. They work well together, the later chapters not as much. I don't remember why I decided to change perspectives, but I did and now I kinda wish I hadn't. So...there it is.

I think I'll be posting Motherfucker sometime soon, or else Daddy's Little Whore. I haven't decided yet. I'm keeping busy.

I kind of forgot about this story until just yesterday when it popped into my mind. I've been meaning to do a bit of editing on it for about two years and I finally bit the bullet. I'm reposting it and this is more advertising than anything else.

Read it :) cause you might like it,

Other than that, um...I am sort of writing again, but not really. I'm fragile. I'm still getting a number of requests every week for a continuation of "Babymaker" ...If you're interested in that story, you should read SOL's posting guidelines. I'm not exactly sure how the new policy changes will affect stories in progress, or completed stories which I may wish to continue. I'm looking forward to some additional information on the subject whenever the site owners get a chance to elaborate.

We'll see what happens.

A few people have been wondering what happened to me. There's been some speculation. Occasionally authors just disappear and nobody knows why. I guess as long as I can make excuses, I might as well.

I've been sick. I didn't stop writing because of work. I wasn't whisked away in the recent Rapture. I didn't join the cast of Glee. I simply got sick and getting better has absorbed most of my energy for the past 6 months or so. In all likelihood, being sick will be my full-time job from now on. It doesn't pay well, but at least I get full medical and all the Jell-O I can eat.

There's someone supposed to be babysitting my stories and updating my website from time to time - provided I have something specific in mind. Like I asked him to post NIS: Pieces of Sam at Kristen's and he did that for me. Or so he says, I haven't actually looked. I want him to post some stuff here, but the stories I have in mind really need editing and his skills are more in the coffee making department. They will have to wait until I can do it myself or find an editor who speaks rache.

On another note, kind of the reason I'm public at all today...I got an email from a new wanna-be author. Two actually, but the first one I ignored. The second was sort of a weepy apologetic, self-flagellating confession that the person had posted a bit of writing done in my "style" whatever the fuck that is. This was at the SOL Circus and this newby was accused of plagiarism and God knows what else after being up front about his/her intentions.

Here's the only good advice I've ever had for my fellow authors, those of us who have been doing it for years: Give the new authors a break. They're like little kids, you know? In forums especially, we have to practice good parenting and give them the benefit of the doubt until proven wrong. Dropping a tactical nuke on someone's enthusiasm benefits the community not at all. And if that sounds simple or naive or whatever, let me put it this way...Leave me out of it. I can defend myself without lifting so much as a little finger. It's one of the few benefits of being me, I simply don't care...

At least not until I get an email from someone I don't know, apologizing for something they didn't do, and begging for my understanding and forgiveness. Kids. And I'm Catholic enough to think I have to do something about it, like saving whales in Africa. Fuck. How much money did I give them last year?

Okay, that's enough. If none of this made sense, that's good.

Some of you may or may not be aware of ASSTR and what's going on there. My website is there and it's got the same stories I post here, just...more of them. With pornographic pictures.

Unfortunately, ASSTR is having problems and I decided to cut and paste my most recent explanation of how and why here and avoid answering 7 more emails on the subject tomorrow.

Hi,

There is a problem with the link "severe captions" I get an error message when I click on it. Just wanted to let you know 8-) Love the site.

Z.K.


Hi Z. Thanks for taking a look and dropping me a line.

I was right in the middle of updating some stuff and changing some things when ASSTR's server died. It's back up, but only partially and the server for authors is still down, so I can't get in there to finish the job.

Severe Captions and the Comics and a few other things were eating up a LOT of space on ASSTR, relative to how much I'm really entitled to for a "text" site. It made me feel a little guilty, so I pulled those and I'm making them available as downloadable zip files from another location. In fact, the entire site is backed up and I'll be making it available for download and viewing offline in the comfort of our homes.

I just have to wait for the ASSTR people to get their machinery working again. I'm hoping that will be within a week or two. That's the long, boring explanation in which I don't say much of anything except "I'm helpless."

Best always,
rache

I'm not much for promoting my website compared to a lot of authors. I don't usually worry about it much and I might mention it here once in awhile, but I got like 3 emails back2back2back from (presumably) 3 different people looking for "more" of my stories.

Some people think less is more when it comes to me and so this request for "more" kind of confused me at first. I was like, "Weeeelllll...If you can't find my stories, what's the problem? You should be happy."

Anyway, for that one reader lurking and wanting to ask the question and not quite able to find the words, here's how to find "more" rache/Rachael Ross/T.S.Severe/Kylie X. and yes, even God of Porn, which I am not, btw. GoP is a place, not a person or thing. People have a hard time understanding that for some reason. Probably I shouldn't have written the Manifesto, huh?

It's important you go through the front because the site uses frames. Also, please read everything on that front page because it's how we figure out if you should actually dive into the pool or not. If none of it amuses and confuses, but only makes you shake your head in pain - avoid my site. Don't go in. The rest of my website is just like that, okay?

I'm doing you a favor here, so trust me. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it if you browse Bad Fred's website instead. It's nice and friendly and easily navigated. Mine is a treacherous slippery slope of sick humor and twisted sexuality that most resembles the search for WMDs in Iraq.

Once you enter, it's all pretty straight forward. Click a link on the left and a story will show up on the right. If you click a story link, I mean. Actually, even the stuff that isn't a story is still a story, but you have to use your imagination and play along with me to enjoy it. There is "more" of me there than most people need or want. Some of the webpages have depth too, so there's links kinda all over. I should make a site map, but when I tried I got lost.

ASSTR doesn't like graphics. It's a text repository, but I send them a lot of money every year to assuage my guilt. Just reload any graphic that doesn't want to show up the first time. All links work...except for some of the ones on "Vatican's Best Escorts - Jessica" - some of the story links aren't working because I haven't made the html yet, but everything else should be good.

The links to bestiality files are buried 2 or 3 editorial pages deep, btw...Lots of people ask about those. It's on the page with "Adventures of a Dog Whore" and that reminds me I need to get that story up here one of these days.

Okay? Is everybody happy?

Good. Have a nice day!
