270,933 words as I post up Chapter 30.
Just to give you some perspective, The Fellowship of the Ring - is 187,790 words. War and Peace is 587,287 words.
Meh, I am more interested in quality over qantity anyway. We have about two chapters left to post before the story concludes. I have more story to tell about this woman (Carrie) but I think she has had her day in the sun and the story has a natural conclusion that should be satisfying.
Very positive voting/comments so far - more so than any story in the past.
I've started a second project - it involves Femdom/Female Led Marriage. I hate most of the Femdom stories on the site. They fall into two categories:
1. "Fifty Shades of White" - basically mansions, champagne, victorianeseque white people with cruel ball busting women and impossibly wealthy fortunes. The woman is sort of a Super "Karen" and she hates all men.These Stories are often blackmail based. As if it is shameful to be a submissive and the only way a MAN would do it is if he could lose reputation (even though he loses it anyway in the process).
You see celebration of women being submissive- strength in it, liberation in it and yet, not so much in the femdom world.
BTW - I may still use that title for a story "Fifty Shades of White" - but if you like it feel free to snag.
2. The nymphomaniac wife that needs an excuse. So in the second type of FLR/Femdom story we see the wife want to fuck EVERYONE/EVERYTHING/ALL (Except for her husband) and so this is more of the classic cuckold fantasy where the wife is fucking, and maybe she is "forcing" him to fuck her friends.
"Oh no, don't make me eat all those lovely pussies! Oh dear, what will I do!!"
C'mon.
The FLR is a window dressing/background excuse for the wife to fuck who she wants. There is room for these stories but when they are to the exclusion of all else it paints a picture that this is what FLR is.
If you follow any female led marriage blogs, usually the couple are monogomous. The wife just wants her husband to the best version of himself and who he can be. She wears the pants in the family as head of household - and there are often different levels of control but it is really not that much different than if a man were the head of household - someone in the primary decision maker for big purchases, where you are going to go out to eat, allthat mundane stuff.
They don't have to fuck other people to be in a FLR.
So I have been working on that story, I have about seven chapters so far in the hopper. I am happy to share an advanced copy to those who don't mind that they aren't fully edited. I am thinking about changing points of view where we hear from the wife and the husband's perspective. That is always risky but it worked before in stories I've done.
I am working with Mike McGifford on this - so you can expect it to be outstanding (if you liked "You Bet Your Ass") and to even have some interesting twists. I am not saying the characters in this story won't fuck anybody else either - I am just wanting to see some diversity in FLR stories that reflect reality.
I also have a desire to go back and polish some other stories that are unfinished.
Lastly, in sad news I saw that Mister Archie's stories are completely removed and his account appears closed. I don't know if that is because they just eventualy get retired due to inactivity or what. He wrote a great story "Homeowners Association" but never finished it. I wrote "Big Day in Sunny Manor" (one of my best stories to date and its complete) as an homage to that story.
I was thinking about trying another one. I always wanted to write the sequel to that story but I also feel that I added so many side stories/side characters that I could easily pick one of them and just tell their story too. I'll give some thought to that.
In the meantime, if you have feedback/suggestions and so on let me know. I am also curious how the illustrations worked out for you in "You Bet Your Ass".
There are some rules on how the pictures have to be presented if they contain nudity - so I tried my best to include inspirational pictures with each chapter. I hope the webmaster didn't find it tedious. Did it add anything to your experience?
