I know it's been slow going with the release of chapters on "Keeping the Entire Family In Line"
This has been one of my favorite stories and I really enjoy their adventures. However, I believe the story may be coming to a natural conclusion. I've said that before and then ended up writing 20 more chapters in a flurry - so here is hoping.
I am wondering if the captioned illustration adds anything to the story? I spend a lot of time thinking about the perfect illustration to add. They say one picture is a 1000 words, so I try to add something that helps set the tone for the entire chapter.
If I do not have anything that particular chapter I don't post anything at all.
I think chapter 39 moves things along very nicely with the story - we see a return of some old characters and another transformational moment for the family. It seems that they have these intense turning points where things change because of a single decision.
I've been thinking about what I will do when the story is over. There are two stories I want to finish - Dolphin Shores (DS) is a "Homeowner's Association" story set in a kink-friendly community in Tampa. I left that family in the middle of it to finish this story. They deserve a proper story!
Here is an interesting bit of trivia: the main character from "Keeping the Entire Family In Line" was originally going to be a featurette in a four-part story called "Best Mother Ever" about four different women who are competing for the ironic title by telling their stories of depravity and perversions.
I was going to write it with Mike McGifford. He would take two moms and I would take two and we would make them compete for the title.
However, Kim struck me as being so perfectly imperfect that I could not contain her in a short story.
I originally wrote the first short story from her husband's point of view and I was going to shift to her telling the rest of the story. That was the genesis for her husband's "Keeping the Menfolk In Line" story.
I basically skipped ahead seven months to what I considered the "Good part" and told "Keeping the Entire Family" from that point.
I often write stories with the intent that MAYBE I will inspire someone else to write these kind of stories. Very few people on this site write that kind of dirty story. I often add side characters like Carl (the neighbor) or Charlotte who seem to have stories of their own to tell with the thought maybe someone will.
Charlotte (Athena's friend) is sort of the "Control" character - a "normal" modern teenage girl. She isn't a prude, she likes being naked, but she isn't nearly as gung-ho as Athena and Myra. I think in the next few chapters you'll see things evolve with her in a way that feels pretty natural. Honestly, I could see writing a follow up story about her life.
She took the job working at their house for shits and giggles. Her parents are seldom home and seem to be going through a potential divorce scenario. She is kind of a blank canvas. If anyone would prefer to write fanfiction on this story - you have my blessing.
Lastly, I'll end my little ramble with two other story ideas.
I'm very enamored with good historical fiction that includes kink. I love French author Pichard and I was thinking about retelling one of his stories (Embelishing quite heavily) and including some of his art work. Thoughts?
I think I'd start with an Antebellum American Slave Plantation in the deep south. The husband's eldest daughter is something of a jezebel and a free-thinker. He is a medical doctor and carefully controls when his slaves can breed so that they are not full term during harvest months. He feels he gets more out of them that way.
He employs some of his techniques to bind and lock his eldest daughters clit/nipples "The devil's playthings" that he uses on his slaves when he doesn't want them breeding and needs them for harvest. The story could begin with him showing her off to a colleague and his wife blushing at the impropietary of allowing a white girl to be paraded around naked in the same manner as a common slave.
Then see where it goes from there as the civil war starts to unfold and the slaves gain their freedom.
Would that interest anyone?
I've also had an idea for a short story where a young man discovers that his little sister will do whatever he tells her. She used to do everything he told her when they were little and one day he tells her to stop hogging the shower.
She normally complains/bitches, but this time he hears silence except for the sound of the water abruptly being turned off "are you asking me or telling me?"
"What is the difference?"
She sighs and turns the water back on, to enjoy a nice warm shower on her huge boobs.
"Fine, I am telling YOU." he says.
She turns off the water and starts to dry off.
"Open the door"
"I am not dressed yet, Brian."
"I am not asking. I am TELLING you"
She sighs but opens the door and stands there dripping wet in the nude. He discovers she still feels he has near absolute/parental authority just like he did when they were little and he babysat her. However, what makes this interesting as a story is that she is not some bubble headed bimbo that gets off on being an extrovert. She seems perturbed - but stubbornly insists on obeying him if he TELLS her to do something.
"Play with yourself"
"Brian, if Mom walks in, we are both going to be in trouble. At least let me shut the bathroom door"
"No, door stays open, play with yourself"
"Fine, but play with myself how? just my pussy?"
"How else would you?" he asks naively.
"Well, if I were going to play with myself I'd lie down in the bathtub and finger my asshole too, and stroke my nipples."
"Fine, you can do that"
"I can, or I have to?"
"You have to."
