So, I haven't been contributing to SOL for a while. There were several reasons. Mostly, I had to focus completely on my civil service exams (which I now passed, so I'm officially a bureaucrat), but also I became slightly disenchanted with my own work. I wasn't sure how to get get myself out of some plot holes, etc.
I'd more or less given up on continuing, but I came across some new stories and a community which gave me some inspiration. I'm still not sure how to continue my current work, particularly I have come to think Downtrodden is just not well thought out... but we'll see. Perhaps I find a way.
In the meantime, something new. A stand-alone story with a lot of dominance, discipline, and foot fetish. I've a lot of world-building and plot background behind it, but I don't know if I'll use it further. Maybe I aim too high in writing longer works. At any rate, perhaps you'll enjoy it.
The story is Pilgramage. In this world, women have become absolute rulers and reduced men to objects, docile and compliant. They're helpless to resist their domination, but largely acquiescent in it too. This world has a religion, involving their One Goddess, and a pilgrimage women take to get in tune with her teachings. The story takes place at one of the temples on this Way, as a pilgrim arrives and takes service from some men pledged to it.
As usual, any public comments or feedback would be very welcome.
