How many people have fond memories of going to a theater and seeing the Rocky Horror Picture Show?
I do.
I often write stories about people who intertwine kink into their daily lives 24/7 as much as possible. They still have to do things like eat and pay bills.
I made a decision with "Keeping the Babysitter in Line" to write about a family that does most of that on one weekend a month. It just so happens the main character is visiting on that particular weekend.
They let down their hair and indulge in their masochistic fantasies. The girls are adrenaline junkies and like raw sex.
I am working on posting chapters 15-17 which I believe are probably the most exciting in the entire story. I had to lay the framework to get to this point so that the context would be there. If not, I think it would have seemed way over the top. Don't worry - the girls are safe and their father has a lot of experience with the show he is putting on.
I also wanted to show them doing other things - vanilla things. In the story, around chapter 32 they are going to Rocky Horror Picture Show. The main character's introduction will include many of my own observations as an amalgam into the experience. I am hoping that comes across as authentic and may give you a sense of nostalgia if you've ever been.
This is a departure and a little risky for me - because it's not a sex romp. Some risque' things happen because - it's Rocky Horror. However, it isn't anything that would really shock anyone who has ever been to one of their shows. It's campy and fun.
I wanted to see if that is a welcome storyline twist to people who follow my writing?
I definitely have a hard-core (small) group of dedicated perverts that seem to enjoy my writing. That's part of what drives me to stretch myself as an author. I wanted to make these characters feel as real as possible. I also wanted to incorporate Rocky Horror into an erotic story - not sure if anyone has done that except in fanfiction. A kind of homage.
I've also made a conscious attempt to use vintage photographs whenever possible to include as captions of the story. I wanted to capture the big hair and make-up of the 1980s.
Keeping the Babysitter in Line - is imho one of the best stories I've ever written. I don't get a lot of feedback about it.
I'll be curious (especially when I post the Rocky chapters) if you enjoy it. I would love to hear from you.
