I just finished the 33 chapter "HOA" story. It is a story about a BDSM couple that moves to a kink friendly community with their vanilla family. I felt it was really epic and one of the best things I've ever written. There is betrayal, laughter, love, incest, bondage, humiliation - all the stuff I like to read in a story.
I plan to write a sequel. It is practically screaming to be the MAIN story that is set up by this one.
I just started a new project that I am excited about. It is called
"The Goldbergs: Control Anyone - Get A Head!"
I don't know how long the story will be quite yet. I am really having fun with it and I am five chapters deep in already. I love long stories because that gives you time to fall in love with the characters and watch them grow/evolve during the story.
Short stories don't give me that satisfying crunch when something happens that changes the course of their lives.
Many of you already know this zany TV family though. If you don't PLEASE watch this;
If you can't watch it because it you can't click on the link - don't worry - you can still catch a clip or two of them on any streaming service and get all you want to know about them.
Not every story on this site is for me (nor should it be). One of the genres I generally avoid is "Mind Control Stories". No matter how well written.
The reason is not plausibility. I can believe some powerful pill or magic power makes someone your personal slave for story purposes.
It is that when someone is under mind control they lose all their choices and that takes them from active participant in the action to passive observer. I am inclined to empathize with them and feel badly that they have to do things they are not interested in and would never choose in real life.
If the same person were blackmailed into it or did it because they wanted to win some bet/dare then I would probably love it!! That's because they had a choice and they chose to play the game.
So why would I write a Goldberg fan fiction about Mind Control if I don't like the genre?
The reasoning is simple. The Mind Control doesn't work.
The set up is simple. I took a page from my own 1980s upbringing. Do you remember those ads in the back of dirty magazines promising to sell you Spanish Fly that would turn any girl into your willing sex slave?
Adam orders those with the intent to be big man at school
Problem is how do you get girls to take a pill?
"Hey there cute girl. I am that creepy guy that you aren't interested in. Would you like to take this pill?"
So Adam decides to put it in a tea. However, he still can't get girls at school to drink hot tea.
He tries the tea out on his family just to see what happens. He wants to run 'field tests'. It does nothing to the males in the house.
He doesn't know it but his sister and mom snooped through his room and knew he had it. They are offended when he tries to give it to them. They decide to play a prank on him and pretend to fall under its spell.
"It only works on females!! Oh lucky day" the poor schmuck thinks.
The Sister and Mom are insanely competitive. What starts as a simple prank spirals into a contest of wills that leads to nudity and other sexual situations (no spoilers).
There is a fine line between the plausibility "Yeah this could really happen" and "Wow, this set of circumstances makes the story fun" that the producer of the TV show runs every week.
He's had Erica borrow her dad's FAVORITE baby of a car without permission and let it roll off a cliff. He's had the family go on a full on homage to the National Lampoon Vacation movie recreating their iconic experiences.
All in all, what I am trying to do in writing this is excite you while making you feel "Okay, I could see how that could happen IF all of these circumstances came along with it"
I hope you enjoy the ride.
