I was introduced to this story by another author on here years ago.

It was drawn by a French Artist named Georges Pichard.
I've finished writing Hot Mom and I am just editing it. I'm finishing up the first part of HOA.
As a SIDE project I was thinking of trying to write a story based on the graphic novel above.
The story is quite clever in that it starts with the sordid tale of Josephena. She is a widower who is caught fornicating with her nephew by her mother-in-law. In this time period, that would mean expatiation in a convent/house of corrections and constant humiliating discipline at the hands of nuns.
However, she is offered mercy in the form of serving her mother-in-law in the manner of a low-born waif for 6 months and being beaten regularly for her sins.
I've considered just writing the dialogue and describing the story in third person to see if it is as delicious on the page as it is to read.
Unless, I add a little something to it then it is a bit like when the lead singer of Warrant sings a Led Zeppelin song. Even if it is an exact replica it is never going to be as good as the original. I'd have to embellish a bit on the details of her day to day punishment and life. The story sums it up in a dozen or so pictures.
Josephena's arc come back later in the story after Marie Gabrielle is introduced. She is a noble woman full of grace and virtue. A dastardly bishop has plans to cause her fall from grace. I won't ruin the suspense and offer spoilers beyond that but the two women will meet when she picks Josephena up from a house of corrections later in the story.
Would this story interest you? or should I stick to modern day stuff?
My Game of Thrones and Historical/fantasy fiction didn't go over well in the past.
I've seen some rather popular serials about Wizards and Warriors on the site as of late. I'll be honest, I'd only read those if it was something like a Dark Elf Wizard who used sex magic. She and her brother must flee their tower and she is forced to fuck him to power her spells. If it's straight Lord of the Rings fantasy it doesn't do a lot for me.
However, a story set in the 1700s about nuns that starts with something like:
It is an essential tenant of Christian mortality that sin must be expiated through pertinence. All that was touched by sin must be purified through pertinence. Following this principle, the body contributed to sin and so therefore must be punished. The body is sin's instrument and organ so must it be it's victim and object.
Where two nuns prod and poke at a naked wretch who is forced to carry their luggage up rough stones to a woman's house of correction where she will be whipped for her laziness?
Now that has my attention! Would it have yours? Should I go back and finish Slut Summer School in good old Sebastian Florida?
What would you like to see me write next? Should I revisit an old story and add more to it? Should I work on this adaptation of the classic graphic novel? It is an opportunity cost. If I do one, I can't focus on the other.
