Hm, I've just noticed the entire "Legends/Myths/Lore" subcategory seems to have been put under "Misplaced." o_o So I'm even more puzzled; is it being done away with...?

Hi, I just noticed today that a bunch of my items are now listed as being in "zMisplaced Stories [ADMIN use only] > Legends/Myths/Lore." All of the items in question were placed by me in "Legends/Myths/Lore" as they all concern mythological figures such as Egyptian gods or Ojibwa spirit beings. However, they're primarily erotica pieces (everything on my page is, so far), so I'm wondering if that's why they were moved? If so, then I'm confused as to how to choose between "Erotica" or something like "Fantasy" (I have some erotica items in the "Fantasy & Science Fiction > General" subcategory too but they haven't been marked as misplaced, which further puzzles me). I don't know if the items are marked as hidden or not; I haven't gotten any notices yet to move them, but if they're marked as misplaced I'd really like to get them in their right spots. (All my material is in the Original category.) The stories in question are: http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104686 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104685 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104684 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104669 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104668 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104667 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104642 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104641 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104630 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104591 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104523 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104517 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104511 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104492 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104467 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104466 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104451 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104450 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104443 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104390 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104359 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104349 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104348 http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104319 My apologies if I've misunderstood the appropriate categories, enlightenment would be appreciated.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Ad Infinitum" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104841 : EXPLANATION: Now hold on a minute. What are these two doing together?? Isn't Sheriff Rhoades ("Jekyll & Hyde," "After The Storm," "When The Mood Strikes," "Bait & Switch," "Stolen Moments," "The Competition") married, and isn't Officer Silvertree ("First Ride," "Before Anybody Misses Us") involved with Det. Reichert?? The short answer: Yes. The long answer: Following the events of the unwritten Missing Pieces and perhaps a followup unwritten, as-yet-untitled novel, the so-called relationship between Reichert and Silvertree crumbles even more than it has been, and at last just falls apart. Not that it was ever that lovey-dovey to start with; Reichert is a masochistic sex addict and Silvertree is the unbalanced sadist willing enough to put up with his tantrums and constant cheating. (Honestly, Reich is a good guy, trust me, just really, really lousy at relationships.) For a while the relationship works out, sort of, with Reichert throwing fits and goading Silvertree into smacking and choking the crap out of him, but seeing as Reichert's masochism is a symptom of his PTSD (he barely survived the collapse of the World Trade Center, which he actually took pretty well at first, but then mentally snapped after witnessing the (nonfatal) crash of a small airplane), and isn't really a lifestyle choice or sexual preference, the pairing isn't a healthy one. (Silvertree's own past was kind of lousy and most likely contributed to his sadistic tendencies, as well.) So these two aren't in this relationship because they want to be, but because they know nothing better to do. I'm hoping things play out that--MAJOR SPOILERY STUFF TO FOLLOW--following Reichert nearly being stabbed to death after one of his many casual sexual encounters, Det. Kristeva delves into his past to find somebody, anybody, who can save him from himself; his family is a no-go, seeing as his biological father left ages ago and his whereabouts are unknown, and his mother disowned him after he outed himself, and forbade his stepbrother from contacting him. This leaves pretty much no one but his former romantic partners, two of whom provided stable relationships. The more recent ex-boyfriend Reichert hooked up with in Minot, Doug Nyrkkanen ("Feeling It"), still cares about him but Reichert dumped him pretty nastily in the hopes of sparing him further pain (this was after Reichert saw the plane crash and was starting to fall apart--he'd already cheated on Doug shortly before breaking up). That leaves just Matthew (last name unknown so far), Reich's first boyfriend back in Manhattan. Kristeva is good at finding missing people so I hope for him to locate Matt (whose side of the story will be told in the upcoming "Milk Cartons") and convince him to come to Minot and confront Reichert. The last things Matt and Reichert said to each other before parting ways were, "I hope you find what makes you happy" and "I hope you find something better." Turns out neither came true--Reichert certainly didn't find what would make him happy, and Matt never bothered finding something "better." So that leaves Matt free and clear to sever all ties with NY and head to ND to help. I know for a fact, based on how he treated Doug, that Reichert won't make this easy, so Matt's got a lot of work ahead of him (IF this really happens in the storyline). Eventually, I hope Reich ends up on the right track again, seeks help for his trauma, maybe joins a twelve-step program, and pulls himself back together. (I'm starting to think that some of this has already come true by the time of the scene "Kid Gloves," thus explaining Reichert's horrified reaction to Campion's sexual assault, though seeing as this development is newer than that scene, some details might conflict.) But that leaves Silvertree on his own again. I have yet to figure out who he'll end up with. Rhoades? Check out his other scenes NOT featuring wife Nora--"Call Me Max," "Kind Of Rough," "The Bribe," plus an untitled WIP with Reichert (yes, Reichert) and God knows who else I haven't written about yet--seriously, as Campion not-so-delicately puts it in "Pillow Talk," he'll pretty much do any guy who'll let him (and as you can see in "The Bribe," the occasional one who doesn't really want to). Not much else to say. It isn't such a leap to imagine him hooking up with Silvertree just once. Thing is, Silvertree isn't a "just once" kind of guy. Take a look how long he put up with Reichert. So Rhoades ends up with a little problem he can't seem to get rid of no matter how hard he tries... I was curious in this and the followup scene, "Two Tops Together," to see how two obvious "tops" (dominant males) would interact, two like poles of two magnets trying to meet. Well, they meet, but it sure isn't pretty, especially not for Silvertree. But you'll have to check out the second scene for that. In this scene, "Ad Infinitum," it's Rhoades who gets the workover instead. After seeing his other scenes, perhaps by now you're thinking he deserves it! If you feel sorry for Rhoades after reading this, check out "Two Tops Together," and you should feel better. PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: Whole lotta nothin' just yet, except I'm not sure when in the timeline of events 1. Nora Rhoades (the sheriff's wife) has two more kids (Rhoades mentions only his son and daughter in this piece) and 2. Reichert has broken up with Silvertree, started a healthier relationship, and possibly gotten into something like Sex Addicts Anonymous; so those details might conflict. This scene is from October/December 2011, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Not Going Anywhere" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104763 : EXPLANATION: I've been exploring the background of my character Det. Max Kristeva. (For all his scenes, see "Bad Trick," "Used," "Progress," "It Shows," and "Purely Physical"; non-MK scenes that also help explain a lot are "Bait & Switch," "Call Me Max," and especially "The Competition.") To summarize what I know of his relationships so far: *Ritually sexually abused from ages 5-11 *Possible high school relationship?--unknown so far *Brief physical relationship with Reggie Boomhauer in college/training ("Purely Physical") *Attempted physical relationship on Sheriff Rhoades's part while in training--failed/refused ("Call Me Max") *Brief romantic relationship with Danielle (last name not given yet) while a sheriff's deputy ("Not Going Anywhere") *Brief physical relationship with friend Deputy Tracy Hatcher, as a "rebound" girlfriend, while a sheriff's deputy (untitled WIP scene) *Likely "one-night stand" with so-far unnamed woman he meets in a bar, while a detective with sheriff's department (unwritten scene) *Brief marriage to Natalie (maiden name never given) Kristeva while a detective with sheriff's department ("Used"); divorced after three months *At least one encounter with a prostitute ("Bad Trick") *Remarriage to Natalie Kristeva ("Progress," "It Shows," some untitled WIP material) *whew* Well, now that straightens that out, so to speak. As you can obviously see, Kristeva is bisexual, with no real preference for either gender, though he's not some kind of psycho about it like Rhoades is (in a borderline way) and isn't some kind of slut about it like Campion. So, looking at this, as far as I know so far Kristeva's been involved in four "stable" relationships--with Reggie Boomhauer, Danielle, Tracy Hatcher, and current wife Natalie. Two of these stable relationships, with Reggie and with Hatcher, were just meant to be physical relationships, which both parties agreed to from the start. (Kristeva and Reggie parted ways when Reggie flunked out of becoming a police officer; he amicably broke up with Hatcher and they stayed friends.) So that leaves two romantic relationships Kristeva's been involved in--with Natalie, and with Danielle. This here is Danielle's scene. This is the second transgendered relationship I've depicted; I tried to make it a bit more realistic than that between Campion and Manuela ("A Little Something Extra," "Pillow Talk"), as Manuela is still 100% male, whereas Danielle is meant to be making the transition from male to female. The plot of this piece is similar to "A Little Something Extra" in that the other partner heads into the relationship with NO IDEA that this isn't technically a woman they're dealing with. And the reaction of the other party is similar in both scenes; I like exploring the tension that comes about from one partner keeping such a big secret from the other, and them finding out at quite possibly the worst moment. Aside from that, the relationship is a loving one, though it doesn't last long; I hope to write some background material with Danielle in it, maybe another scene such as this, explaining how she came to Minot from...Indiana, I think it is, trying to escape her intolerant hometown and begin anew, anonymously. Kristeva accepting her 100% without any hesitation boosts her confidence and, ironically, convinces her to head back home to try to make amends. So the two part ways. And Kristeva is heartbroken. (This is when Deputy Hatcher steps up to the plate to cheer him up; her scene is in progress.) Some time later, Natalie runs into him (literally--she rear-ends his car); the first marriage really, really does not go well (this will be covered in an untitled WIP novella), but when they get back together, it works out, and that's where he is now. Perhaps he and Danielle--who by now is almost certainly 100% female--will meet again someday. Only after coming up with this scene did I suddenly realize here is yet ANOTHER similarity between good guy Kristeva and bad guy Campion. Both are/were involved with the same cult; both were abused in childhood; both have multiple personalities; both are bisexual, with no preference for either gender; and now, both have been involved with a transgendered girlfriend! WTF?? Campy would probably find this amusing, Kristeva anything but. In any case, if you enjoy this scene, keep your eyes open, more will likely be forthcoming in the future. (In the meantime, check out the scenes listed above; there's a good deal of character background not covered here.) PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: Really not sure how accurate my depiction of a transgendered person in transition from male to female is. I hope it's at least tolerable. This scene is from November 2011, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Learning The Hard Way" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104751 : EXPLANATION: Once I'd started writing scenes with new baddie character Jay Campion ("Kid Gloves," "Call Me Max," "A Little Something Extra," "Pillow Talk"), I was hooked. No pun intended. Seeing as Campy is a character who will do pretty much anything sexwise (to use his own words in his unfinished novella, "I'm what they call flexible. I'll oblige you with anything short of snuff"), then that leaves open a LOT of potential for character development. Campion started out merely as a bad guy with ties to the cult in the Minot spinoff series--not a cultist himself, per se, but a sort of hitman/heavy who keeps troublesome people in line. Then I learned he was a heroin addict with a fondness for visiting prostitutes (of any race, gender, or age (well, not kids, he's not a pedophile despite what you'll see in this scene)). Then I learned he has multiple personalities. Huh. Then I learned the reason he's so fascinated by prostitutes--turns out he was one himself, when a teenager. I learned he'd had a horrifically abusive life growing up, which resulted in the rather nasty personality he goes by today. (The Campion you'll most often come across in my scenes is in fact a secondary alter and not the original--"Jay," as this personality calls himself, in contrast with the original name Jason, occasionally calls Jason out to set him up to be humiliated or even assaulted, as you should see in the novella. In another scene with primary girlfriend Manuela, you'll meet "JJ" or "Jay-Jay," a third personality who I'll just leave you to find out about for yourself. Any others are unknown to me at the moment.) Then I learned that Jay Campion is in fact Jason (last name not given yet), the abducted younger brother of Det. Michelle Rosedale ("We Don't Have To Talk," "Thank You," "You Needed It," "Accommodation"--she has an upcoming scene with Kincaid wherein she's discovered what became of the sibling she's dedicated her life to finding). Holy yikes. Wonder what I'll find out about him next. In any case, I started writing up some of Campy's various encounters with prostitutes other than transgendered favorite Manuela; you'll be meeting Lori (middle of the road, and black), Eli (a bit trashy, and male), and, here, Brianna (the newbie). Campion's flexibility has made learning more about him and his habits rather interesting. Other so-far completed scenes with Campion are "The Usual" (with Eli), "Your Money's Worth" (with Lori), "Personal Involvement" (his conquest of hapless sheriff's deputy Trisha Shelby), and "John & Jane & Jay" (a very weird threesome from Campy's hooking days). In addition, further scenes featuring Manuela, Brianna, and Eli are currently in progress, along with his novella. Ah, also...Campion has been trying his damnedest to get Det. Justin Reichert--first he beats the s**t out of him, then he sexually assaults him just short of rape ("Kid Gloves"), then apparently he goes to beat him up again but Reichert ends up beating the crap out of him instead, then Campy retreats to have Manuela help lick his wounds. Knowing Reichert, it's probably only a matter of time before these two are doing the deed. PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: None yet aside from my relative ignorance of how prostitutes work, but has that stopped me before (e. g., "Trick Of The Trade," "Bad Trick," "Kind Of Rough")? (I've included a "minor" warning as I believe Brianna is around sixteen years old--like I said, Campy's no pedophile, but to him a prostitute is a prostitute. I'm pretty sure if he came across, say, a twelve-year-old hooker he would not be interested in the least.) This scene is from October 2011, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Purely Physical" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104738 : EXPLANATION: Det. Max Kristeva, of my Minot spinoff series, is an odd character. Of course. I would go on for the length of a novel if I were to give his entire story, so here are the basics: Kristeva, from age five to age eleven, was ritually sexually abused by a small branch of a larger cult to which some important people in the community, including his father, had ties. The group including his dad was in it purely for the sex and pedophilia and whatnot, but the other group was into some really serious stuff, including prostitution, drug running, and murder. So young Max was basically being used/abused by BOTH groups. Although the process started much earlier, almost from the start, when the abuse abruptly ended at age eleven, Kristeva's personality fragmented so the original (later called "Number Five") "went to sleep" and a new personality ("Number One") took over; Number Three, a protector, alternated for control, while Number Four, the victim personality who bore the brunt of the abuse, stayed largely in the background. (Number Two, a helper, came along much later in adulthood. In addition, at least two more previously unknown alters, Number Six (possibly cult created) and Number Seven/"Singer," seem to have since appeared.) You'll notice the seventh alter actually has a name other than "Max Kristeva" (the name the others all answer to, to keep things simple), and you might also be wondering what caused this split when the abuse ended. Well...an undercover detective, Wesley Singer, had infiltrated the nasty part of the cult and already once stopped them from drowning Kristeva, something his dad, despite being his primary abuser, wouldn't have liked. (He's a pedophile, not a murderer.) He made it his mission to rescue Kristeva, but ended up getting in way over his head when it turned out he wasn't as undercover as he thought he was. A female "sex lure" sent to seduce him into joining them or else getting killed by them fell for him and tipped him off, a little too late; he ended up kidnapped by the cult. Then, after a nasty beatdown (including getting sodomized and humiliated), found himself in the back of a van with the eleven-year-old Kristeva. He promised Kristeva he would never be hurt again. The van stopped on the Souris Narrows Bridge (yeah, I totally made that up, so don't bother looking for it) and both were hauled out; Singer had his throat cut while Kristeva was forced to watch, then the detective's body was thrown from the bridge. His promise was upheld, however, and Kristeva's abuse ended. Number Five went to sleep, Number One took over, and ages five to eleven were pretty much wiped out (in actuality, Three took over the memories and kept them under wraps). But why the sudden split? Right after Singer's throat was cut, one of the cultists warned Kristeva that if he talked about any of this, "That is you." Kristeva's mind took this literally. One, with Three's covert help (One was completely unaware of the other alters), stood up to his father and refused the family tradition of going into the medical practice, and was pretty much shunned from the entire extended Kristeva family when he joined the police force, "becoming" Det. Singer. The only two who didn't completely turn their backs on him were his mother (who couldn't bring herself to believe her husband had done anything wrong, but still cared for her son and thought he must be confused) and his older sister Chrissie (who, despite not being abused herself, fully believed him from the start). Jeez, I thought I said the basics! Anyway, I've taken to exploring the backgrounds of my characters lately, and Kris is one such example. I'd long assumed that, being a victim of sexual abuse, he went much of his young adult life abstaining from getting involved in personal relationships; as you can see in earlier scenes, he was briefly married ("Used"), then, after assaulting his wife but having no memory of it whatsoever, getting divorced, then visiting with at least one prostitute ("Bad Trick"), then, later on, getting remarried ("Progress," "It Shows"); that's the state he's stayed in since. As time went on, though, a more detailed picture emerged. Firstly, Kristeva had been involved in a sexual relationship with another man while in college or training (I'd known he was bisexual, but wasn't sure how); this was meant to be the first "normal" relationship he was ever in, even if it was just for the sex. Then, I learned he'd had a transgendered girlfriend at some point when he was a deputy at the Sheriff's Department ("Not Going Anywhere"). Then, when she broke up with him to move away, I found out that his coworker and casual friend, Deputy Tracy Hatcher (who later on pairs up with Deputy Kennard Scott--see "When The Cat's Away"), offered to become his "rebound" girlfriend until somebody else could come along, and they had a brief, primarily sexual relationship until Kris broke it off for matters of principle. Since future wife Natalie first rear-ended his car and met him while he was still working at the county post, but had since been promoted to detective, I have to assume she came along not long after Hatcher went on her way, and the rest is history, I suppose. (I'm currently mulling over any relationships Kristeva might have been involved in even earlier, such as high school, since it seems likely there must have been something. Nothing definite yet, though.) This scene, "Purely Physical," is from the relationship he engaged in while in college or training, with roommate Reggie; Reggie ends up failing out of becoming a cop (I believe he has Asperger's, hence his odd but spot-on understanding of Kristeva's personality), so becomes a bounty hunter instead; he and Kristeva lose touch for a long time but he's supposed to show up in one of the newer stories in the storyline. As I said, despite the lack of emotional attachment and the focus on sex, this is one of the first, if not THE first, "normal" relationship Kristeva is involved in, given that there's no coercion or humiliation involved. So...despite the lack of emotional attachment, it goes a long way toward normalizing Kristeva toward such things, though as his later relationship with Natalie proves, he still has a long way to go. There's another scene with these two in progress, where it's made clear that Reggie has realized something is very unusual about Kristeva's personality--namely, that he has more than one of them. Making Reggie quite possibly the first person outside the cult to realize Kristeva is dissociative. (Kris's partner at the city post, Det. Chance Devetko, later realizes the same thing but for a long while successfully keeps it secret, even from Kristeva himself.) So, to FINALLY conclude, that's what the point of this scene and this pairing is, to explore how this character came to start getting involved in nonabusive relationships, even if they did start out kind of odd and awkward. (You have to crawl before you can walk, I guess.) Kristeva's confusion regarding their first time--"Somehow he could sense that the perplexity wasn't aimed at him, but at something in the situation that struck his roommate as odd"?--that's Number Three reacting. He's in fact confused as to why Number Four, who would usually take over during sexual situations, hasn't done so yet. Four never appears in this scene, though he does show up in the followup. PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: Nothing major except the very big issue of whether this is college or police training. It looks and plays out like college, even though these two are supposed to be training together at some point. The timeline conflicts between college and police academy have always been a big issue in my stories; there just never seems to be enough space in my timelines to permit for both. So I've always just kind of glossed that over. So now you know I'm aware of this issue, I just haven't any real idea how to fix it or address it. My characters seem to just become cops without having training at all, which is ludicrous, but then again, the age of most of my detectives is ludicrous, too. So...*shrug.* Just thought I'd let you know. This scene is from October 2011, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "The Competition" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104737 : EXPLANATION: As you can see in earlier scenes "Bait & Switch" and "Call Me Max," Sheriff Wayne Rhoades of my Minot spinoff series has a serious thing for his former deputy--now city detective--Max Kristeva. Baddie Jay Campion, in "Pillow Talk," explains to girlfriend Manuela all the details regarding his own little tryst with Rhoades in the bathroom at the county building and how Rhoades tends to fantasize that almost every guy he's with is a "Kristeva substitute." This is pretty much an accurate description of things. Rhoades even occasionally pretends his wife is Kristeva, when he's in the mood for being with a guy but has to settle for her instead. (Rhoades is bisexual, but in an odd way. Sometimes he prefers women, in which case he's faithful to his wife Nora, but when he prefers men, he'll go after pretty much any guy, and tends to get rather sadistic about it, too.) So far, everyone just goes along with this--Nora puts up with his numerous infidelities (as long as he sticks to men, no other women) and his tendency to cry out Kristeva's name at awkward moments, Kristeva pretends nothing is going on whatsoever, and life goes on. It's a weird situation, nonetheless. Way back when, Rhoades did attempt, just once, to go after Kristeva (see the flashback sequence in "Call Me Max"), but the attempt failed when Kris just happened to switch personalities (yes, you read that right) before things could really get off the ground. Then he went and got married. So even though both of them are "switch-hitters" (to use Campion's terminology), Kristeva has no sexual interest in his former boss. Rhoades agonizes over this almost constantly as Kristeva is his one big fantasy (though I'm fairly certain that, were the two of them to actually pair up, he wouldn't treat Kristeva at all the way he does when he's fantasizing). My timeline of events is kind of wonky--originally, Rhoades wasn't supposed to be married when putting the moves on Kris before Kristeva became a police officer, but going by the age of Rhoades's kids, I can't be sure, maybe he was married. In any case, wife Nora can't help but have heard the rumors of this past encounter...and she REALLY can't help but have noticed her husband's habit of constantly yelling, "Max!" when they're together...so of course, despite her tolerance for all this, she starts to wonder if maybe... Technically, this is a "Sheriff Rhoades/Nora Rhoades" pairing, number six in the original filename, though occasionally my scenes get finished out of order. Previous Rhoades/Rhoades scenes are "Jekyll & Hyde," "After The Storm," "When The Mood Strikes," and "Bait & Switch"; the fifth scene, "Stolen Moments," is still in progress. There is also an in-progress novella about these two, plus scene number eight, and they appear as well in an untitled WIP scene which also features some other pairings. And in case you haven't noticed (check the intro notes for "Call Me Max"), Rhoades is featured in a LOT of other pairings as well--all of them with other men, see. Whenever it's finished, you'll also see him briefly appear in Max Kristeva's and Natalie Kristeva's own novella, though he pretty much behaves himself there. PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: Nothing major except my confusion regarding the timeline of events, such as exactly when Rhoades and Nora are/aren't married and when they do/don't have kids. In "Pillow Talk," Campion makes reference to Nora being pregnant again; this does end up happening (she's preggers in "Stolen Moments"), but I'm not sure when or if she even is at the time of "Pillow Talk." "Stolen Moments" (scene five) was started before "The Competition" (scene six), though Nora doesn't seem to be pregnant in this scene (and, to add even more confusion, the unfinished eighth scene is when she announces to Rhoades that she's pregnant again!); I don't know if this is because she's had the kids already, or if she simply isn't pregnant yet, or just isn't showing yet. *shrug* This scene is from September/October 2011, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "A Little Something Extra" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104731 : EXPLANATION: Hey, check it! My first transgender piece! As such, I haven't the faintest idea how well or how poorly I did. I was curious, so I experimented. Trans doesn't do much for me in terms of writing this sort of stuff (you may have noticed I don't care much for F/F, either...Jeez...aside from in the Ameni Chronicles, I don't think I have ANY purely F/F stuff...), so...*shrug.* Anyway. Newish character Jay Campion struck me as the sort who'd dig this kind of thing. I also wanted to experiment with the whole "ZOMFG you're a DUDE?!" angle, and a rather unexpected reaction to such a situation. When this was first written, the character of Manuela was meant to be "truly" transgendered in that s/he would be undergoing hormone treatments, thus accounting for his/her breasts. I realized somewhere along the way she probably wouldn't...well, function as a male anymore if this were so. (She's obviously preop.) At some point she reveals to Campion her hopes of eventually getting surgery and completing the transition, though neither the money nor the situation is right just yet (for some reason, despite Campy's fine pay she hasn't gone through with it yet). I eventually decided that in fact, Manuela is still 100% male, though identifying as female; is not taking hormone treatments yet, so still functions as a male; but has had breast implants. (Yes, weird that she could afford THOSE and not something else...maybe she hasn't gotten her priorities straight, so to speak?) Since meeting the incredibly openminded Campion, I guess it isn't as important that she make the change just yet, though she still hopes to. You'll notice that, despite the fact that Manuela is technically 100% male, I refer to her as "she." It's my belief that unless you're trying to explain the situation to somebody not quite as understanding, you should refer to a transgendered person by the pronoun they themselves prefer, even if it's not technically accurate. Anyway. Another first for me is how amoral Manuela's character is. She's not a "good" guy such as Det. Kristeva nor a "bad" guy such as Campion (though as you've seen the lines between good and bad are often blurred); she just is. She loves to take good care of her "Campy," but thinks nothing of robbing or pulling a weapon on a john if it's warranted, for example. She becomes Campion's favorite out of the various prostitutes and sex partners he visits and despite the selfishness and amorality of both characters (e. g., in an unfinished scene it's revealed that, when Manuela discovers a secret Campion's been striving to conceal, he's willing to kill her to keep it), they do genuinely care for each other, at least, as well as they can care for anybody. An unexpected but interesting consequence came about as an indirect result of this scene. I'd started exploring the background of Det. Max Kristeva, a character who actually has a lot in common with Campy, including having multiple personalities and ties to a cult. I'd already known for a while that, despite being married, Kris had a sorta "boyfriend" (actually merely a friend who happened to also be a male sex partner--see "Purely Physical") in the past; I'd already known for quite a while that he's bisexual, but hadn't really examined his past that much; I just figured that, being a sexual abuse victim, he just wasn't that interested. Since writing "A Little Something Extra," I've been surprised to discover that not only did Kris have a brief physical relationship with former coworker Deputy Tracy Hatcher (they share an in-progress scene together; meanwhile see "When The Cat's Away"), but he also, like Campion, once had a transgendered girlfriend--"Danielle," who appears in the upcoming "Not Going Anywhere." Danielle, unlike Manuela, technically is transgendered in that she's undergoing hormone treatments, though she too is preop. Just as in this scene, Kristeva doesn't discover this until the next-to-last moment--just as in this scene, his reaction isn't at all what Danielle expects. Color me surprised to find out all this stuff so fast. So, if you enjoy this scene or whatever, you might want to check out "Not Going Anywhere" for a slightly different but much similar angle. Followups with Campy and Manuela are "Pillow Talk" and a so-far unfinished, untitled WIP. Bonus tidbit: Campion's trademark question whenever picking up prostitutes--"What will this get me?"--is actually something he picked up from a john of his own during his own soliciting days. Meanwhile, his other frequent request, "Take it all off/take off your clothes, so I can see you" is rather creepily reminiscent of an exchange between characters Matthew and Det. Justin Reichert in "Milk Cartons"--a similarity I did not intend, seeing as Reichert ends up getting sexually assaulted by Campy (see "Kid Gloves"). PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: See my comments regarding Manuela's actual gender status; obviously I have no personal experience with transgendered people so I haven't a clue how realistic I've made her. It's easier for me to write Manuela's character, as aside from identifying as female, she's technically male; Danielle, who's undergoing the transition, is more difficult for me. An even bigger issue for me is the heroin use; I know even less about that, so it's probably way off. As unbelievable as it is, Campy's a pretty high-functioning heroin addict (no clue about Manuela, though she seems to handle herself okay); this is partly due to the fact that he's well paid, so has no problems procuring the stuff, and also partly due to the fact that his alters are good at handling such things and he has a VERY high pain threshold. (Just see "Call Me Max.") But as for the actual drug usage, the process of preparing it and the physical effects, no clue. I welcome enlightenment as long as you don't rebuke me for how ignorant I am. *cringes* This scene is from September/October 2011, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Call Me Max" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104729 : EXPLANATION: Well, it was bound to happen sometime. Two of my man-whoriest characters, Sheriff Wayne Rhoades and Jason "Jay" Campion, from the Minot spinoff series, going at it like crazy. For background on these two, I recommend the following scenes: Sheriff Rhoades: *"Jekyll & Hyde" (a rather nonconsensual piece featuring Rhoades and his long-suffering wife, Nora) *"The Bribe" (Rhoades in a rather nonconsensual scene with some poor random drug dealer--the first scene I ever wrote with Rhoades) *"Kind Of Rough" (Rhoades in a consenting (wonder of wonders!) scene with some random male prostitute) *"After The Storm" *"When The Mood Strikes" *"Bait & Switch" (Rhoades and Nora in some better times) Jay Campion: *"Kid Gloves" (Campion in a rather nonconsensual scene with another of my man-whores, Det. Justin Reichert) For the record, there are future scenes featuring these characters and other pairings: Rhoades: *"Stolen Moments" *"The Competition" *At least two more unfinished scenes (+ Nora) *Untitled WIP (+ Reichert) *Two untitled WIPs (+ Officer Joe Silvertree) *Untitled WIP with Nora also featuring other pairings not involving Rhoades *Untitled WIP novella Campion: *"John & Jane & Jay" (+ an unnamed couple) *"Learning The Hard Way" *Untitled WIP (+ Brianna) *"The Usual" *Untitled WIP (+ Eli) *"Your Money's Worth" (+ Lori) *"A Little Something Extra" *"Pillow Talk" *Untitled WIP (+ Manuela) *"Personal Involvement" (+ Deputy Trisha Shelby) *Untitled WIP novella Since I know you have no intentions of reading all that, not even just the finished, posted stuff, then I recommend "Jekyll & Hyde," "Bait & Switch," and "Kid Gloves" for the absolutely necessary background info. And now for those of you who are TRULY lazy: The skinny is, Sheriff Rhoades is married, bisexual, and seems to have some kind of split personality thing going on (no, he doesn't have multiple personalities, like his eternal crush, Det. Kristeva); when he's in the mood for female company, he's devoted to and thoughtful toward wife Nora; when he's in the mood for male company, he turns into a downright sadist who will basically do any guy who's willing (and a few who aren't terribly enthused, such as Robbie and Reichert). Nora has agreed to put up with this, as long as he never sees any other women, keeps safe, and stops taking out so much of his sadistic fantasies on her. So far, it works. However, the ONE conquest Rhoades has failed in achieving is bedding former deputy Max Kristeva, now a detective with the city post. Kristeva is also bisexual, but married and not interested in Rhoades; Rhoades long ago put the moves on him and it didn't go well (as you'll read in this scene once I finally shut up). Their relationship is still very awkward for Rhoades (as this scene and the upcoming "The Competition" should show), though Kristeva pretty much pretends nothing ever happened. Rhoades privately continues to lust after him, and Kristeva shows up frequently as his one big fantasy. Jay Campion is...I can't even say he's bisexual, because basically, he'll partner up with pretty much anyone, male, female, or transgendered. He has no preferences. He also, like Kristeva, has multiple personalities. Go fig. A kidnap victim who was repeatedly molested and raped by the various hands he passed through in his childhood/early teens, he became a teenage prostitute and drug addict, who soon enough was in high demand due to his ability to do and become whatever his clients wanted. (As he says in his untitled WIP, he'll do anything short of snuff.) SPOILER for the WIP--after he switches to his original, unwilling personality to satisfy a client's rape fantasy, his skills come to the attention of the cult that features in these unwritten novels, and he's recruited as a sort of hitman/heavy who intimidates and occasionally takes out people considered liabilities. He and Kristeva meet up at one point and a "new" (latent) alter of Kristeva's, Number Six, pops out--Six was apparently created by the same cult that Campion serves, and serves much the same function, but has gone untriggered until that moment. (Kristeva signals his often unplanned switches by fluttering and rolling his eyes back and dropping his head--the more sudden or unwilling the switch, the greater the resulting headache and nosebleed he often gets. His eyes also get lighter or darker depending on the alter in charge. Campy is more subtle and in control of his switching; he just flutters his eyes a little.) Kristeva and Campion have a lot in common besides this. Including attracting the attention of Rhoades. In this scene, Campion has apparently been nabbed by the police, but there isn't enough evidence or whatever to jail him, so he's set loose. On his way out of the county building, he happens to cross paths with Rhoades, whom he knows has a serious thing for Kristeva, whom Campion rather admires as a rival. (He likes to refer to Kris as "Switch-Hitter.") Campion explains some of his thoughts and actions here in one of his scenes with transgendered girlfriend Manuela, "Pillow Talk." Turns out Campy the Chameleon's still got the peculiar skill of becoming anybody anyone wants--including Rhoades's one big fantasy. The rest should speak for itself. Interesting bonus tidbit: I'm fairly certain that, were Rhoades and Kristeva to actually go at it, Rhoades would not treat the detective AT ALL the way he does in his fantasies. Curious, isn't it? PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: None so far as this is a relatively new scene. Oh--I'm not sure Rhoades should be calling Campion "Jason," since I think he introduced himself as Jay and they don't know his full name yet. But I'm not sure. *shrug* Regarding Deputy Scott and what exactly his role in things is, there's a so-far unfinished scene, "Stolen Moments," with Rhoades and his wife sneaking in some moments together in an unused room at the station and the increasingly disturbed Scott happens to watch. Weird, yes. Scott should be getting some more of his own action at some point. Finally, as you can see in "Pillow Talk," Campy ends up heading back to Manuela after this scene; not sure if he stopped anywhere on the way. This scene is from September 2011, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Kid Gloves" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104722 : EXPLANATION: "We Don't Have To Talk" is a scene occurring some time before this which explains a bit of newish character Campion's references in this scene. This one's a bit confusing since it regards a character who has sprung up almost overnight in my imagination (well, it's actually been maybe a few weeks, but still). I knew I needed a bad guy for the unwritten story Missing Pieces, which is basically about detectives searching for the missing family of a young boy; at least, that's the barebones plot, but a whole lot more is going on in the meantime. For example there is an as-yet unknown-how-it-pertains-to-the-main-plot subplot regarding a "Collyer mansion" (hoarder's house) and its recluse inhabitant; the appearance of what seem to be not just one but maybe TWO "new" personalities of Det. Kristeva's; and a recurring element, a mysterious hypnotic drug that when injected makes its subjects quite malleable to outside influence. See "Under The Influence" for a scene featuring this particular drug and its effects. SPOILER for Minot and its unwritten sequels, the Satanic cult involved in the stories, in order to threaten cult escapee Alan Kincaid (later Lt. Kincaid) into silence, sends a "sex lure" to his temporary foster father, Mark Kincaid; she repeatedly (and without his knowledge) shoots him up with this drug until he'll pretty much do anything she says, and he does, by putting a gun to his head. (See Minot for the rest.) Prepare yourselves now for quite possibly the most spoilery thing I've ever posted to this site or to the Internet, period. I post it only because chances are slim these stories will get written, and I have nobody to share all these wonderful plot pieces with, so nyyyyeeehhh! The cult in the past tried the same technique on undercover Det. Wesley Singer, but his sex lure ended up falling for him, and tried to warn him off the case. Unfortunately, it was too late and the cult was on to him. It turns out Singer's primary purpose in infiltrating the cult was to try to save a young boy they were abusing--Maxwell Kristeva. Singer saved young Max from being drowned by a couple of overzealous cultists (although his primary abuser, I'm fairly certain Kristeva's dad did NOT want him dead); all Kristeva could recall of this incident for years was the image of a shimmering mandala (the sight of Singer's necklace as he leaned over to pull Kristeva from the water), which he had tattooed on himself and wore as a necklace of his own. Singer ended up preventing Max from being killed once and for all, but out of revenge, the cult murdered him, slitting his throat before Max's eyes and warning him that if he talked about this, "That (the dead Singer) is you." Max Kristeva's response? To take the warning literally; he'd already been splitting, but at this point his personality fragmented, the core/original personality (Number Five) "going to sleep," a new personality (later nicknamed Number One, since all of Kristeva's personalities go by the same name, to "keep things simple," in Number Two's words) taking over without any knowledge of the others, while Number Three, the protector personality and, aside from the core, the oldest in existence, alternated for control (as he's aware of the others' existence), and Number Four, a victim-type personality who never speaks and handles sexual situations, remained mostly in the background. Kristeva Number One forgot pretty much everything between the ages of five and eleven, when the abuse started and stopped (with Singer's murder). (See the non-erotic story "A Crack Of Light.") In young adulthood Numbers One and Three (the former without knowledge of the latter, as I already said) rebelled against the Kristeva family tradition of becoming a doctor like his father, and he basically disowned himself from his family and went to become a policeman--in effect "becoming" the dead Det. Singer, as the cultists had warned him would happen. Number Two (so named as he was the first alter, not counting the host, to appear in therapy), a helper personality, came along much later in the storyline to step in for Number One (the host) when he gets too stressed; as a result, Two and Three are often in conflict. Det. Devetko, Kristeva's partner, became aware of all this when Number Five briefly came out to him around the time of Two's creation (following Kristeva's car driving off the same bridge that Singer's body was tossed from years before); turns out Devetko once briefly had a boyfriend with DID (dissociative identity disorder--formerly good old multiple personality disorder), so he recognizes the signs. He kept this knowledge secret even from Kristeva and along with Two helped him work around his memory gaps when the others, particularly Three, came out. Confused yet? In Missing Pieces (now you fully understand the meaning of the title), I needed a bad cultist guy. As with the new character Det. Michelle "Mike" Rosedale ("We Don't Have To Talk," "Thank You"), I had a barebones fellow in mind, but without a name, he wouldn't solidify. I then suddenly remembered something I'd found while cleaning my room, a brief mock summary of an earlier story in the series, which made mention of a cultist named "Campion." This character had been completely forgotten and never developed; liking the name, I decided to resurrect him and flesh him out. Campion (with no first name yet) became a sort of cultist "hitman" employed in threatening or taking out people considered dangerous to the cult, and that of course includes the detectives, Kristeva, Devetko, Rosedale, Kincaid, and Det. Justin Reichert. Just plain death is considered a waste, if any of them can possibly be swayed to the cult's side or else convinced to kill themselves (a la Mark Kincaid, and, almost, Kristeva) and save Campion the trouble. Enter that strange hypnotic drug that was responsible for Mark Kincaid's death. Campion manages to get Kristeva, though with only a partial dose, and misses his chances with Devetko and Reichert. (Though he does beat the royal s**t out of Reichert and puts him in the hospital for a bit.) Since he gets only a small dose, Kristeva doesn't feel the full effects of the drug, though a doctor warns him he might experience mild side effects such as temporary hallucinations. Well, hallucinate he does, when he suddenly hears and sees the dead (throat slit and everything) Det. Singer speaking to him. The lack of reaction from the other detectives tells him this is only in his head, but "Singer" sticks around long after the drug should have worn off; so perhaps Singer is in fact Number Seven, a personality modeled more closely after Singer than is Number One. (Occasionally alters take the form of voices in the head or, more rarely, actual people "outside" the host.) Oddly, Three is the only one willing to actually talk back to him. "But wait, Tehuti!" you may be (but probably aren't) crying. "What about Number Six??" Six is the OTHER new alter who pops up in the story. Wow this goes on forever but I have to get it out there somehow. When Campion first meets with Reichert and Rosedale, he's friendly and righthanded. He excuses himself to take a phone call; upon hanging up, he takes out his gun, and is suddenly lefthanded. He remains this way throughout the rest of the story. Why does that matter, that he's ambidextrous? Because all of Kristeva's alters, aside from the host and the core, are lefthanded. Kristeva's personalities were mildly manipulated by the cult; Campion?--he's a kidnap and abuse victim who was taken in by the cult, and his personality was messed with as well. Turns out there's more than one Campion, and Campion Number Two, the hitman personality (he's also an oddly highly functioning heroin addict), is just plain nasty. In one scene, while Rosedale and Kristeva perplexedly listen to what seem to be recorded dialtones, Kristeva's eyes suddenly roll back (his sign of "switching") and he collapses, unconscious. Devetko arrives and attempts to awaken him by calling out the numbers one through three, then four and five, and then, on a whim, "Six." Kristeva wakes up. Later on, when Campion and Kristeva confront each other on the bridge, Kristeva pulls his gun and refuses to put it down even when Devetko and Rosedale arrive as backup. When Kristeva meets Devetko's eyes, Dev realizes he's not dealing with Number Three (the most aggressive of Kristeva's alters), as he'd thought he was. There's a Number Six, who like Campion Two might have been "created" by the cult to serve the function of a cult hitman; a particular dialtone brings both alters out. Either Six's orders have gotten garbled somewhere along the way and he's disobeying the cult, or the orders never properly took (Kristeva might be messed up, but is unlikely to go against his core values), or Campion is now seen as a liability, and it's Kristeva Number Six's job to take him out. Whatever the circumstances, Devetko defuses the situation by counting to three, at which Number Three takes over (and is quite mortified to learn of this personality he formerly had no knowledge of). Really confused yet? Bonus tidbit spoiler that it isn't necessary to know to get this scene, but it explains Campion's comments regarding Rosedale. A big character motivation for Rosedale in Missing Pieces is the fact that her younger brother disappeared when they were kids. Searching for him has consumed her entire life. Now why is it that Rosedale's police department shows so little interest in investigating the little boy's missing family, resulting in her going to Minot for help, where she meets Campion, who, despite threatening Devetko, drugging Kristeva, and beating the royal crap out of Reichert, shows so much restraint toward her? It isn't revealed in Missing Pieces, because this is a plot point that just popped into my head in the past few days, and I rebelled against it as too hokey, but good God does it fit in with things so I'm compelled to make Campion Rosedale's missing younger brother, Jason. (When Campion does give a first name in the storyline, it's "Jay," which doesn't tip the detectives off.) Like Lt. Kincaid, he was kidnapped when little and ended up in the cult; unlike Kincaid, he's still with them. Campion seems to enjoy beating Reichert up a little too much in Missing Pieces, and also seems oddly interested in digging up info on the detective, including that he's rather masochistic, frequently getting himself into unpleasant situations as a sort of punishment for surviving 9/11. (His left arm and leg were crushed in the debris; see "We Don't Have To Talk" for more info.) In this as-yet unnamed followup story (good Lord do I keep jumping from new story to new story, all unwritten!), Campion reappears, again taking an interest in Reichert and Rosedale (despite Reichert being gay, the two of them shared a brief encounter while sloshed out of their minds--again, see the scene above). Kristeva and Devetko manage to dredge up scattered info on Campion, including that he's an addict and likes hiring prostitutes of either gender (his favorite, Manuela, is transgendered). Kristeva is frustrated that he can't put a "profile" on Campion, since he doesn't seem to fit or follow any particular pattern of behavior. (Kristeva is usually good at figuring such things out.) You must admit that a guy who on the one hand beats a policeman nearly to death, and on the other hand is considered quite generous by the prostitutes he hires (and isn't even particular about what gender they are), doesn't seem to fit a particular behavior pattern. In the scene given here ("ZOMG she's finally getting to the point!!"), from the untitled story, for some reason Reichert and Campion have ended up facing off in a big abandoned warehouse-type building. Reichert is still quite sore (mentally) over the working-over Campion gave him in Missing Pieces, and has rarely been known to be too prudent, so isn't as careful with the encounter as he should be. Campion takes advantage of the injuries Reichert sustained on 9/11, injuries which he knows still occasionally pain the detective, so even though Reichert pretty much towers over him by at least several inches, he's easily subdued. Ah, I never mentioned in this horrendously long intro that Reichert is a sex addict who, despite having a "steady" (and abusive, and just as messed up as he is) boyfriend, jumps from sex partner to sex partner without a qualm, almost always feeling empty afterward. (His night with Rosedale is a rare exception.) This explains Reichert's oddly nonchalant attitude toward being forced into sex, as well as why he's so confused that Campion's actions end up upsetting him so much since they're nothing new. Somehow Campion knows just how to push his buttons and end up humiliating him the most, since that's his goal in this confrontation, and it works. Even though there's TECHNICALLY no actual sex here, this incident hits Reichert a lot harder than the past several years of being used by pretty much everybody he goes to bed with. So, for Campion in at least this case, mission accomplished. Sometime soon I'm really going to have to Google how heroin users prep their drugs to shoot up because I haven't a clue, yet I feel oddly guilty asking the Internet such a question. I guess for now Campion will just have to shoot up off the page. If there's really anybody out there who made it through all that, you deserve an award, and if you actually found it interesting, why haven't you gotten in touch with me long before now? I could go on like this forever. Now what remains to be seen is 1. how Reichert reacts to his next interaction with Campion, whatever/whenever it is, and 2. how Rosedale reacts when she finds out who Campion really is! Dum-dum-dummmm...but that's neither here nor there. I really have to struggle to come up with titles for these stupid things. PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: Probably plenty since I typed this up out of nowhere, for an untitled, plotless story that doesn't exist yet, and have no clue how this scene would fit in with everything else. I have a bad history of writing up scenes and then when I get to that point in the story, the scenes no longer apply. But if the story never ends up written, perhaps it won't be such a problem. Explanatory clarifications--the "ignorant fuckwit" (this is originally Reichert's own coinage, not Campion's) and "boy-toy" that Campion refers to is Reichert's sorta-boyfriend, Officer Joe Silvertree, referred to briefly above. You can probably tell from the fact that Reichert refers to him as an ignorant fuckwit just how lovey-dovey their relationship is. Campion's mention of "Hero Cop" (and a lot of the other references he makes, e. g., to Reichert's denial) is in reference to Reichert's actions on 9/11, when a newspaper referred to him as a "hero cop" (an epithet he can't stand). I'm not sure how believable the rather slight Campion being able to so easily subdue the rather tall and imposing Reichert would be; all I can say is that with particular kinds of pain I've experienced, it's like it just sucks all the strength out of you, so perhaps that's what happens with Reichert. Be aware that Reichert's 9/11 survivor status takes a lot of artistic license (since nobody was found alive after the first twenty-four hours--Reichert was found three days later), and I'm aware of that. As with heroin use, I have no idea how the metal pins and rods they put in mangled bones work or if Reichert would even still have them a decade later; so take that with a grain of salt, please. Ah, I also have no idea how cell phones work. Isn't that sad? But true. Never owned or used one in my life. Don't really want to. This scene is from September 2011, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Thank You" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104716 : EXPLANATION: As usual, I have a lengthy explanation for this one, so if you just want to see smut, skip everything in bold text. Firstly, see "We Don't Have To Talk," to be properly introduced to newish character Det. Michelle "Mike" Rosedale, who comes to Minot, ND to help in a missing persons case, or, rather, to ask for Det. Max Kristeva's help in such. (He has a knack for such things.) If you don't feel like reading that particular scene, the basic rundown is, Rosedale gets acquainted with Det. Justin Reichert and the two hit it off immediately as great friends; so great, in fact, that they both go out, get sloshed, and hop into bed together...well, eventually they hop into bed, after stopping by the coffeetable...in any case, the morning after is incredibly, incredibly awkward. Why is that? Because Reichert happens to be gay and is already in a..."relationship"...with Officer Joe Silvertree (see "First Ride" (outdated) and "Before Anybody Misses Us" for their lovely story). Fortunately, Silvertree isn't the jealous sort, even though he's the sadistic, unstable, abusive sort; Reichert is used to getting knocked around, though this incident won't cause waves for him. Unfortunately, Rosedale ends up pregnant. A while back, I started to write an adult scene featuring Lt. Alan Kincaid and Mandie from the novel Minot. Somewhere in the Black Binder (what I call the folder where these were originally posted, named after the big black binder I used to stick the printouts in) you can find a couple of scenes with Kincaid, one of which ("Welcome Nightmare") is a dream, the other of which ("Not Yet") is out of continuity and so didn't happen. SPOILERS for Minot: Kincaid was kidnapped from his home when he was around nine and used in abusive rituals by a small cult, until his rescue around age sixteen. The noticeable results are partial amnesia, a distinct limp (from being repeatedly stabbed in the leg), and seriously flat affect (a defensive measure toward the abuse). Aside from the few points in Minot when he REALLY loses his temper, and the part at the end when he pretty much goes temporarily psychotic (the diagnosis in that story should be changed to PTSD, BTW), he acts and talks nearly like a robot, with very little emotion, either good or bad. Needless to say, all of this makes him highly unlikely to be in a stable romantic relationship. Though I did try. Witness the two crappy scenes mentioned. Neither of those worked out. I thought it would be quite interesting if he ended up, at least temporarily, with Mandie, who, following the events of the novel, goes into hiding from the cult until an indeterminate story/novel in which the people involved in the earlier novel have to go into police protection, and Mandie ends up under Kincaid's supervision. Considering their very weird history, it just seemed like an intriguing match. I do still feel it has potential--for a brief fling. The scene has sat unfinished, barely even started, for a while now, but I won't write it off as fantasy; perhaps it happened before the scene here, and helped prepare Kincaid for something a bit more down to earth. Following parting ways with Reichert (who's decent enough to vow to agree with whatever Rosedale decides to do about the pregnancy, including providing child support if she decides to keep it), Rosedale is of course quite despondent and uncertain what to do; as this scene makes clear, she goes through with the pregnancy, though makes plans to put the baby up for adoption. She's grown close to the Minot police due to Kristeva's and Reichert's extreme efforts at finding who's missing; they each have their reasons for this cause being close to their hearts: 1. Kristeva is himself, like Kincaid, a ritual abuse survivor, and deals frequently with abuse in missing persons searches--plus, the detective who in Kristeva's childhood saved him from drowning, and whose personality Kristeva modeled his own after, went "missing" until his body was found years later; 2. Reichert was himself a missing person for approximately three days, when he was buried under the rubble of the World Trade Center, and has never gotten over how many other people were never found; and 3. Rosedale's brother went missing when they were both children, and she's never quit looking for him, even after the dissolution of her marriage. Kincaid works on the same Ritual Crimes Unit that Kristeva works for (in addition to Missing Persons), so of course Rosedale comes into contact with him too, though their interactions in Missing Pieces are minimal. Well, after Rosedale ended up preggers, the thought suddenly struck me that perhaps, she and Kincaid...? Kincaid is messed up, but not as badly as is Reichert, and his seeming lack of emotion can actually prove useful in stressful situations, such as that Rosedale finds herself in. It seems like the two of them might be good for each other, if things do work out. In a followup scene to this ("You Needed It"), Rosedale wonders why Kincaid has shown any interest in her in the first place. She learns that just as with Reichert, he shares a particular detail with her: As I already said, Kincaid is a kidnap victim, a missing person who has yet to discover his real name, family, and place of birth. Odd how these guys keep getting drawn to each other. Let the following scene unfold--Rosedale, after paying a visit to the Minot Police Department, discovers that her car won't start, and it's an hour's drive to her home, plus she's quite pregnant, but oh look, here's Lt. Kincaid on his way out as well, would she like a ride?--and we'll just have to see in the future if it works out. (Unlike virtually every relationship of Reichert's, except with Silvertree.) Followups so far are "You Needed It," "Accommodation," and a fourth as-yet untitled, unfinished scene. PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: None yet, except for how physically awkward some of the stuff here might be. This scene is from August 2011, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "We Don't Have To Talk" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104715 : EXPLANATION: Please see other scenes featuring Reichert ("Feeling It," "First Ride," "Before Anybody Misses Us") for information on his pretty much messed-up relationships. Seeing as some of the background info there (those scenes were written quite a while ago) may now be out of date, I'll update you on poor messed-up Reichert here. Reichert was formerly a detective with the New York City Police Department and was quite chagrined to discover he just wasn't into women. I have an as-yet unfinished scene (update, now an in-progress novella, to be titled "Milk Cartons") of his first encounter with a man who was his sort of on/off boyfriend while he lived in New York; let's just say that Reichert was so nervous meeting up with this guy in a bar that he went outside and promptly threw up. Isn't that romantic? Anyway, aside from that everything was pretty normal, until September 11 2001, when you-know-what happened. Reichert, who arrived on the scene late (it was his day off), was caught up in the mess and ended up under rubble for three days. (Artistic license, since I don't think they actually found any survivors after the first twenty-four hours.) He still walks with a slight limp, and wears fingerless gloves to hide burn scars on his hands. Let's change tense. A year or so passes, and a case he's involved in mirrors similar cases in Minot, North Dakota, where my almost equally messed-up Det. Max Kristeva works, so Reichert heads out west to help with the case. When he gets back to New York, he outs himself to his mother, stepfather, and younger stepbrother; the reaction isn't what he expected and, even though the other two are sympathetic, his mother disowns him and he decides to leave New York for good since there are too many bad memories. Chief Bowen in Minot has promised Reichert a spot on their police force if he wants it, so he amicably breaks up with his sorta-boyfriend and leaves. He settles into the Minot Police Department and moves into a dark, dingy city apartment where he can't even be bothered to unpack his belongings (some YEARS later, by the time of the story Missing Pieces, Kristeva enters the apartment, sees the boxes, and asks, "Are you moving out?"). He hooks up with the pretty much normal Doug Nyrkkanen ("Feeling It"), who provides a stable relationship, but Reichert soon enough breaks it off for no real reason (update, he does have a reason, but I haven't written it up yet) and then starts hopping from relationship to relationship, or rather, sex partner to sex partner, since none of them last that long and are pretty much based on sex. (I really, REALLY tried, several times, to settle him down, but was unable to; my own character insisted on sabotaging every halfway-decent relationship he was put in.) Needless to say, a lot of these encounters are pretty risky and several times Reichert ends up in unpleasant situations (see the explanation to "Feeling It," which is out of date and inaccurate but gives a picture of what I mean), but he just can't seem to get into a relationship that lasts. I believe he fits the profile of a sex addict, since most of these encounters leave him empty and disgusted and he just keeps seeking out others. (Oh yeah, at some point in here he has leukemia, but after treatment it goes into remission. WTF is with this guy's luck.) Enter Officer Joseph Silvertree ("First Ride," which is somewhat inaccurate/out of date by now, and "Before Anybody Misses Us"), a Lakota tribal officer who gets involved in some of the Minot investigations for whatever reason. Obviously, the two hook up. And I'll be damned but Reichert tries everything in his power to make the relationship fail, without success. It turns out that Silvertree is just as messed up as he is, so within no time the two of them are first hurling things and screaming (mostly Reichert) and beating the crap out of each other (mostly Silvertree), then they're having sex, then they're indifferent toward each other until the next time they get into a screaming slugfest. I discovered that Reichert acts like a bad borderline every time he's in a relationship, thus driving away every good boyfriend he comes across, but Silvertree's sadistic streak goes along pretty well with Reichert's masochistic one, so the two of them mesh. And so even though every other day they hate each other's guts, and Reichert is threatening to walk out and Silvertree is daring him to and then putting him in a chokehold and hurling him on the bed and going at him despite Reichert's threats and often throttling him half unconscious in the process, this seems to be the most "stable" relationship he's capable of being in, and Reichert has gotten good at brushing off the numerous injuries incurred since unconsciously he feels he deserves them. (Fun fact: While I'm pretty sure Silvertree is involved solely with Reichert, I'm equally sure that Reichert is still messing around with numerous other sex partners. Jealousy seems to be the one problem these two don't have.) That's way more info than you needed to enjoy this scene, so cut to Missing Pieces. The basic plot so far is that Det. Michelle "Mike" Rosedale, of a different police department, contacts Det. Kristeva to help her on a missing persons case since her own department won't take it seriously and she's learned through Google how good Kristeva is at finding who's missing. (Part of the meaning behind the title; the other meaning is more psychological. FYI, Rosedale as a bare-bones character has been in my head for quite a while now; it's been only very recently that she finally acquired a name.) Kristeva quickly learns (since he's intuitive that way) that much of Rosedale's obsession with the case stems from the fact that her own brother went missing in childhood and the case was never solved; her obsession with finding him led to the breakup of her marriage. So there you can see, Rosedale has enough of her own problems. (Weird how the monumentally messed-up Kristeva actually seems to be the most stable of these three. Maybe because he has several personalities to help him out!) Rosedale and Reichert meet in the course of investigating the case and hit it off immediately as good friends; I think he reminds her somewhat of her missing brother, even though he was a child when he disappeared. (Update, I've since realized just who Rosedale's missing brother is and what became of him, and he and Reichert actually aren't that much alike, but Rosedale has no way of knowing that yet.) So that makes what happens in this scene a bit weirder than it really is, seeing as it's a scene with somebody who is decidedly female having sex with somebody who is decidedly a gay male. Mostly the alcohol is to blame, though these two do apparently have a soft spot for each other; they consider each other more to be friends. They're both aware a romantic relationship is absurd, which makes the aftermath of this scene all the more awkward. (The bisexual-but-happily-married Kristeva's reaction once he intuits--yes, intuits--that Reichert and Rosedale have done it?--*disgusted voice* "Oh my God. Oh my God!" Silvertree's reaction? A mere "Meh, weird" look and then utter indifference. I'm sure he'll be roughing Reichert up again sometime soon, though likely not over this incident.) So there's all the background you really did not need to know, but if I didn't type it up here, it'd probably never see the light of day. See all the stuff that goes through my head that people never see, even in the slight chance they are interested? Thanks for letting me share. I think from this point on, the intro notes to my scenes start getting kinda indepth. *shrug* The scene picks up in medias res with the drunken Reichert helping the equally drunken Rosedale back to her apartment, and this is what follows. (BTW, did I mention that the result of this one-night stand is...Rosedale gets pregnant? You really didn't expect Reichert to escape another relationship unscathed, did you?) Reichert will be appearing in several more scenes with various partners, and Rosedale will be showing up again too, with someone of her own. (Probably not someone you'd expect, if you're familiar with these scenes, which I doubt you are.) PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: Aside from how the hell the clothing ended up in the bedroom (remember Rosedale kind of blacked out, anything could've happened!), and me making it seem as if this apartment they're in belongs to Rosedale (I realized only after writing this that she lives an hour outside Minot, so either Reichert drove all the way there (unlikely) or she's staying in a motel/hotel, so I should make the place more impersonal), as this scene is pretty new, disclaimers are few, but to warn that earlier Reichert scenes are now out of date and inaccurate in some areas. I'll take this chance to say that I've grown very leery of sharing my erotica online as I look at it, especially the older stuff and the dirty dialogue, and cringe at how stupid it all seems to me, but then I read the free Ellora's Cave samples at Amazon and realize that in at least some cases my stuff is actually somewhat better. In my pathetic opinion. Which admittedly is not worth much. Does anybody out there actually read this stuff, anyway? If you write smut in the woods and nobody reads it is it still smutty? This scene is from May 2011, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "First Night" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104710 : EXPLANATION: Here we are with another newish character I've created. This explanation will include some SPOILERS (not major ones though) for the Manitou Island series. Basically...in the second serial, Return To Manitou Island, Niskigwun (AKA "Ruffled Feathers") is a Michinimakinong, or Turtle Spirit (also known as the Turtle Fairies); they are a winged race and the original inhabitants of Manitou Island, who retreated into the Fairy Realm when their friendly overtures toward humans were rejected and met with violence. They have a longstanding taboo against relations (especially intimate ones) with non-Michinimakinong, and those who do not honor the taboo are ostracized and cast out of Michinimakinong society. (See the serial's character Sooleawa Chepi for a good example of that.) Well...Niskigwun is one such upstanding Michinimakinong, and the leader of their fighting forces, but he finds himself having feelings for the protagonist, Charmian--a human--during the story, and this fact mortifies him so badly that he even RIPS OFF HIS OWN WINGS IN SHAME. O_O Charm is rather young, and already has a love interest in the story, so Niskigwun keeps his feelings mostly to himself...though I felt terribly sorry for the poor guy. And so I came up with the new character of Half Sky, a FEMALE Michinimakinong who shows up in a potential future serial in a rather odd role...that of a man. Yep, you heard me...when the characters first meet her, she acts and presents herself just like a male, dressing like one and fighting like one and everything. Turns out she had a vision that she should take up arms like a man and she would become a great warrior, and so she has. And she nearly kills Charm in the process. But her first sight of Niskigwun (who comes to save Charm's life, of course) totally floors her--until then she thought SHE was the only Michinimakinong left! Turns out that she was accidentally left behind while out playing around, when her family, and all the rest of the Michinimakinong, fled to the Fairy Realm for good...without her. And not knowing what in the world was going on, poor Half Sky just assumed she was the only one left in a strange and hostile world now populated by humans, both native and non-native...including one particularly nasty one she meets up with somewhere along the way. I thought it might be sweet to pair up the outwardly stoic, inwardly vulnerable Niskigwun and this outwardly brash, inwardly wounded stranger who until now has found herself completely on her own. This scene, which I typed up completely this morning, resulted. PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: FYI, the Michinimakinong look just like the natives of the Island, except they are slightly smaller and more slender in stature, and possess dragonfly-like wings and pointed ears. Also, the two characters in this story may appear unusually young and naive; this is because neither has been intimate with anyone before, and the Michinimakinong's ages are difficult to tell due to their very long lifespan (hundreds of years) as well as the abnormal quality of time on the Island. Both characters here are fully grown; in human years I'd guess Niskigwun is in his late twenties/early thirties, and Half Sky is perhaps between 18 or 19-25. I'm not sure of her age during her first time, though surely she must have been a minor. This scene is from February 2005, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "First Ride" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104709 : EXPLANATION: See "Feeling It" for backstory on Det. Reichert. Basically, I wanted to settle my character Reichert down but he simply refused to do so, and went whoring around with just about anybody still breathing. O_o I even tried fixing him up in a polyamorous relationship...didn't work! (Most of these scenes...well...I should say all of them...are unwritten as of yet...as soon as I would settle on one, he'd go running off into another! Damn it Reichert!!) I tried EVERYTHING I could with this guy and he just would not settle down!! Well anyway...somewhere along the line in my unwritten novels, the character of Officer Joe Silvertree, a Lakota tribal police officer, shows up in a minor supporting role...and for some reason I got to thinking, what if...? Then I thought, nah. Then I thought again, what if...? And after a while resistance wore down, and I attempted a scene. SO FAR...these two are working out. But probably only because of the threat of the secret of their relationship getting out...I don't know, I guess Reichert needs SOME sort of chaos in his life in order to function, since all of the nice hunky-dory relationships I set him up in didn't work!! Not only is there the tension of (the closeted) Silvertree's preferences getting out, but there is also the additional tension of him being in a relationship with an outsider, a white person. Which one of those is worse? I have not figured it out yet. I decided to write up the first scene of these two together, as well as what happens immediately afterward...when Reichert gets the surprise of his life. (Suffice it to say that Silvertree is rather evasive with more than just his fellow Lakota...) The above intro material is from the time this scene was originally written, 2005. Things have changed since then. CURRENTLY, Reichert and Silvertree are still...well, an "item," if you can call it that; their relationship is no longer secret. (Check out "Before Anybody Misses Us," the followup scene.) But I've slowly come to understand just WHY this relationship has lasted as long as it has, as well as that it's really not a good situation for Reichert to be in. Note how normally things start out in this scene--no real hints of anything untoward, aside from that hair pulling. As time goes on, however, Silvertree starts to take note of Reichert's masochistic tendencies (shortly before breaking up with Doug Nyrkkanen ("Feeling It"), Reichert, after witnessing something traumatic that reminded him too much of 9/11, had a one-night stand with a stranger he basically asked to beat him up, and things just went downhill from there...), and this brings out Silvertree's latent sadistic tendencies (he's had a few traumas in his own life). The way I've summed up their relationship elsewhere is: They argue--Reichert picks a fight--they get physical--Silvertree overpowers Reichert--they have sex, whether Reichert's completely willing or not--they wake up indifferent the next day and go about their lives as normal, until--they argue--etc. etc. Turns out Reichert tries EVERYTHING in his power to get Silvertree to dump him, but since Silvertree thrives on this sort of mess, he never does. Not even when Reichert pretty much continues whoring around with anybody else who'll pick him up. So it's not much of a "relationship" at all, as much as it's something that's really, really messed up. Further along in the storyline Reichert gets plastered along with new buddy Det. Michelle "Mike" Rosedale and the two go at it, resulting in her pregnancy; she gives the baby up for adoption with his consent. He has a couple of very unpleasant run-ins with the incredibly creepy Jay Campion, who is about as whorish as he is, though not technically a sex addict as is Reichert. (Reichert has by then stopped enjoying sex for the most part and just goes through with the motions; his in-progress scene with Sheriff Rhoades will show this.) Unlike all the other sexual assaults he's endured, his second run-in with Campion really leaves him rattled. Runs into Doug Nyrkkanen again, who is still interested in a relationship despite how cruelly Reichert dumped him, though Reich feels way too guilty to inflict more of that on him. And THEN... I started writing a novella about Reichert's life in NYC shortly before and after 9/11, called "Milk Cartons." It's told from the POV of his then-boyfriend, Matthew; Matt is the one who first gets Reichert out of the closet, and is technically his first "true love." The story makes it clear how much they care for each other. Then Reichert ups and moves away to Minot, leaving Matt behind. The split is amicable, but during the writing of the story I realized that if anyone can save Reichert from his current path toward self-destruction, it would be Matt. Problem is, he's still lost somewhere back in Manhattan. After yet another one-night stand of Reichert's going incredibly wrong (he ends up hospitalized), Det. Kristeva, who is good at finding missing people, takes it upon himself to try to locate anybody who can connect to Reichert; since his mother disowned him and forbade him to contact his stepbrother, and his biological father is long out of the picture, that leaves just Matt. Reichert's neighbor across the hall (he scared off her bullying boyfriend once) informs him that while staying at his place once she saw a box marked "9/11." Inside, Kristeva finds an old valentine card signed "Matt." (This card makes an appearance in "Milk Cartons.") He has to figure out this person's last name, and then see if he can locate him in the seething mass of humanity that is New York. I'll leave off there. ;P PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: I know nothing about the Lakota customs regarding this topic, so am just going on guesswork--sorry. This is a new scene as of January 2005, so, no major disclaimers. There WAS going to be a little bit more to this scene, regarding Reichert's and Amy's talk...but I decided eh, why keep it going on, you just came here for the M/M sex. Mention is made of Reichert having in the past felt "tense" or "panicked" being pinned underneath his sex partners; this is a detail I forgot about, though perhaps since he's become addicted he barely notices it anymore. As for why he would get panicky, well, you try being buried under 110 stories of debris for three days and see if you don't get panicky. Also, Amy makes mention of knowing Silvertree since they were kids, and that their families assumed they'd marry; this doesn't entirely jibe with the plotline now (suffice it to say, Silvertree didn't exactly have a stable childhood OR family life), so I'm not sure how that goes, perhaps it needs fixing. *shrug* Lastly, I'm not sure if Amy's assertion that Reichert is Silvertree's first is true or not, though I guess it's possible; and I'm perplexed as to why she would assume he would be the bottom in a relationship, as in more recent scenes Silvertree does not give this impression at all. I noticed, however, that she makes this claim based on her impression that Reichert looks like he would be a top, and it's true, until he's actually in the sack with somebody one would probably assume he'd be the active party. This scene is from January 2005, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Payment" http://books.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600094940 : EXPLANATION: Potential spoilers. All righty. A LONG time ago, when I was just starting to get into THAT phase, I came up with a scenario involving Sokar and Hathor. No, not THAT kind of scenario. Keep reading. You see, Sokar just has this way of getting on everybody's nerves--witness him in Horus, and he really pisses off Ra in my short story "Challenge"--and one of the people he happens to piss off is Hathor. Being the goddess of love, she retaliates by...making him fall IN love and OUT of love and IN love and OUT of love and...you get the picture. But you see, Sokar usually does not feel love in the same way as others. He tends to fall more in...lust. So here's poor Sokar, falling IN lust and OUT of lust and IN lust and OUT of lust and...it's getting really frustrating, especially since he feels compelled to act on these urges. And his usual targets--human females--are rather afraid of him. (If you saw a scary black-cloaked shadowy dude with a hawk's beak and glowing red eyes, well, how would YOU react?) So Hathor wears poor Sokar down in this way, with him spending just about every waking moment either pursuing women or trying NOT to pursue women...as I said, poor guy. Eventually Ra, I think, gets fed up with the whole mess and orders Hathor to go apologize and put an end to the thing. (It MUST have been bad for RA to step in--he hates Sokar!) Hathor pouts but goes to see the god, with no intention whatsoever of stopping. When she sees how exhausted he is from all his skirt-chasing, however, she relents and they call a truce. She can't help but take a poke at him every now and then, though. Making him fall in love with her half-sister Selket was one such poke, at both Sokar and Selket, as Hathor detests them both--Sokar for insulting her, and Selket for being so slutty and making her look bad. She thinks she can turn the situation to her advantage by making the two fall in love. Selket, after being harassed by weasely tortoise god Apesh (check out the non-erotic novella "Obsession"), turns to Sokar for protection and...you see what happens. The two just have a thing for each other. Rather than be angered that Sokar is bedding one of his daughters, however, Ra...doesn't care!! Hathor is beyond pissed off, and an unwritten scene, "Upuat/Selket," is one bit of fallout from all of this...but that's then and not now. Followups are "Lap Dance" and "The Rivals," not to be confused with my other erotic story, "Rivals." (See the fantasy piece "Unreal" if you want, anyway, just for a bit of fun.) PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: The "Sokar/Selket" scenes are rather old, so there may be some inconsistencies (including some icky POV problems in "Payment"). I don't THINK Sokar would be quite so paranoid and afraid as he acts here but then again, when you're dealing with the daughter of a VERY powerful god... Also, a hawk god, with teeth--? Yep; don't expect me to explain it, though. How do you explain all my animal-headed characters kissing when they shouldn't even have lips, huh? I hate to think how ibis-headed Thoth manages. The mention of "money" is awkward; the ancient Egyptians DID have a sort of barter/monetary system (I've read that they sometimes used rings, which is the item of payment I use in my stories), but the word itself seems too modern to me. *shrug* And I only just now noticed how incredibly tame this scene is compared to others. Oh well. This scene is from circa 2003, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Bait & Switch" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104651 : EXPLANATION: See first "Jekyll & Hyde" for some deep background, then for some perspective "Kind Of Rough," and then, for the rest of the story with these two, "After The Storm" and "When The Mood Strikes." Yeah, I know that's a handful, but it'll really help explain things. Here we are, even further along in Wayne and Nora Rhoades's strange marriage, and they're still working out their "agreement" regarding what's allowed. Nora basically tolerates her husband sleeping around with just about any guy who's willing (maybe a few who aren't TERRIBLY willing...), but not with any other women (he has no interest in women other than her anyway), just as long as he plays safe and tries to be discreet. That's pretty much it. That, and no more horribly rough stuff at home. Since Rhoades tends to get rough when he's interested in men, and he isn't always able to go out and find any, they've started coming up with more creative ways to handle this. "Bait & Switch" is one such method. Oh yes, what the hell's up with the fantasizing?--turns out that Rhoades has been lusting after Det. Max Kristeva for quite a while now, not that the relationship has ever been pursued. He tried, just once, and...it did not go very well at all. This is described in a bit more detail in the forthcoming "Call Me Max," though I have yet to write up the scenario itself, since there's no actual sex involved. And even though Kristeva isn't in the least bit involved in "Call Me Max" (you're going to have to wait to see who is!), that scene has probably the most indepth Rhoades-hot-fantasizing-over-Max smut in it. Future scenes with Rhoades and his wife will be "Stolen Moments," "The Competition," and a currently unnamed novella. ("The Competition" in question is Kristeva. Nora and Kristeva are the only two Rhoades shows any interest in other than the purely sexual, hence making them "the competition.") PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: IMO, Nora isn't so adventurous as to really get into..."pegging," is that what this is called? Seriously, I had no clue that people actually DO this, I figured I just made it all up. Huh. Anyway, she doesn't strike me as the type to really get into such things, since she's the good little housewife type and isn't that creative in bed. (Even the mention of what she does to him in his office is a bit OOC, though "Stolen Moments" will blow all that out of the water, no pun intended...) However, she really is invested in keeping this marriage going, and in keeping Rhoades happy, so even if it strikes her as weird I guess she would consent to this activity. The problem is, I know for a fact Rhoades would not be the one to suggest it to her. So where the hell did she learn this from? Certainly not from me, since I had no idea people actually do this! Also, I always keep wondering if I should include an "M/M" disclaimer in fantasy scenes such as this; so far I don't, because it technically ISN'T M/M, but still... And lastly, Nora obviously talks to Rhoades during his fantasizing (even though he imagines her as Kristeva), which is odd, since he almost never wants to hear her speak at such times--it ruins the fantasy. This scene is from circa 2003, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Kind Of Rough" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104645 : EXPLANATION: The short version: Well, firstly, I wanted to pair Sheriff Rhoades with a guy who shares and/or understands his odd preferences. And secondly, I wanted to try out the erotic asphyxiation thing. *whistle* La la la. Mm-hm. That's about it. The long version: You might remember Sheriff Rhoades from "The Bribe" and "Jekyll & Hyde." His first scene ever, "The Bribe," left me with an incredibly bad taste in my mouth after I wrote it; I utterly despised this character, so much so that the scene made me terribly uncomfortable, because I tend to put police figures on pedestals. So to have such an apparent scuzzbag as the sheriff just...eegh. Then I wrote "Jekyll & Hyde." My opinion of Rhoades did not improve that much; if anything, the scene makes him look like even more of a monster, since it's his wife he's treating this way, not just some minor drug dealer. Plus they have kids. However...at the very end of that scene...Rhoades FINALLY shows a bit of concern for someone other than himself, when he realizes his activities do have an effect on the people around him. Does he mend his wicked ways? Hell no. As a matter of fact, as of late 2011 I've been writing a slew of Minot-centered erotica (I have no clue why), and of course, Rhoades shows up quite a bit. He and Campion can give Reichert a run for his money as my man-whoriest character. (Sorry, Tiffen, you come close but no cigar.) And except for the scenes where he's "straight"--i. e., prefers women, i. e., prefers his wife Nora, i. e., is in a relatively decent mood--he's just as brutish and sadistic as ever. (For some reason the side of him that prefers guys is just that way.) After "Jekyll & Hyde," I finally began to explore Rhoades a bit more, and that included this scene. I've come to realize he's not a TOTAL scuzzbag, though he's definitely not Sheriff of the Year material, either. (He must be a damn good sheriff to keep getting elected despite the rumors that must be circulating about him.) Expect to see plenty more of Rhoades and his weird interactions throughout my writing. Bonus tidbit: Throwaway character James (who appears so far only here), when I read back on this, strikes me as a good prototype of Jay Campion (his scene with Rhoades, "Call Me Max," shall be forthcoming), from Campion's own soliciting days. PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: Firstly, I have no clue what the going rate for a moderately classy yet affordable male prostitute is. I have no clue what the going rate for ANY type of prostitute is! Secondly, I don't know anything about erotic asphyxiation (it's not like I go looking for websites!), so I could be way off! As this is an older scene, Rhoades might act a bit out of character, though the sadism is definitely in character. I don't think he'd be interested, however, in going to the trouble of hiring a prostitute and using all the paraphernalia when he can just use his hands to throttle somebody and get things done a lot faster and more conveniently. Maybe he was feeling adventurous? *shrug* Lastly, I'm not positive on Rhoades's height (and, well...other physical characteristics, which seem kind of exaggerated to me now), though I assure you he's pretty imposing. This scene is from circa 2003, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Feeling It" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104643 : EXPLANATION: Here is my original author's note: "Wow, this scene turned out to be, like, a bust. Or. Something. Who knows. This was my very first romantic scene featuring relative newcomer Det. Justin Reichert, formerly of the NYPD. (He helped out the Minot detectives on a case, then quit the NYPD due to memories of 9/11 (he was buried alive for three days) and being disowned by his family (he outed himself, with some unpleasant results), and went to Minot permanently.) I think this scene takes place right after he moves to Minot for good. Stan Brooks, I believe, sets him up with Doug Nyrkkanen, and this scene and a followup scene (in progress) take place. I had intended Reichert and Nyrkkanen to be steady partners, much like Devetko and Brooks...wow did THAT not work out. Reichert ends up dumping Doug for no apparent reason whatsoever, then starts trolling the gay bar scene...then gets into S&M...then tries to get out, and temporarily partners up with a fireman...then dumps him and goes back to the bar and S&M scene...then sees another detective for a time...then dumps him...back to the bars...somewhere in here he's beaten and mugged by two sex partners of his, and sometime I believe he's slipped some Rohypnol and the inevitable happens (which he doesn't even bother reporting), AND I think at one point he even has a one-night stand with Sheriff Rhoades...and last I knew he was either with another cop or dumping him also and heading back to the bar scene. GAH, Reichert, SETTLE DOWN ALREADY! For some reason he turned into a real whore. I know the obvious reasons, but he doesn't want to admit them yet. So even while he's a good cop, his personal life is really a shambles...though it started out innocently enough, with this scene." And now, since that's from around 2003 or so, the updated version (I leave the old one as I feel it still has some merit). As things stand in late 2011, the story goes like this: Det. Reichert, who barely survived 9/11, a couple of years later fails to talk down a suicide jumper from a building. A higher-up insists he be put on desk duty as "not ready" to return to regular work; instead, his chief gives him a case eerily similar to what he just witnessed. Turns out there's some kind of epidemic (well, in lesser terms) of apparent suicides and the case Reichert is given takes him to Minot, ND, where he works briefly with Det. Kristeva, Det. Devetko, Det. Tulie et al. Whatever the resolution is (as usual, the story hasn't been written or even plotted out), he heads back to NYC, where he finally summons the courage to out himself to his family, but it doesn't go as well as planned when his mother disowns him. He starts to feel there are too many bad memories in New York, so amicably breaks up with boyfriend Matt (you should be seeing plenty of him in the so-far unfinished novella "Milk Cartons"--take a wild guess what exactly the title is referring to!) and heads to Minot for good, where he's been promised a spot on their police force if he wants it. As time goes on Reichert gets a little mopey and lonely as he has just his dingy little apartment (he never bothers unpacking most of his stuff, so there are boxes stacked around), and though he's friendly with the other detectives, he has no real social life to speak of. Enter Doug Nyrkkanen. In the new version of events, Doug works at some kind of fancy little store facing a public park; he's in charge of designing the ornate displays that go in the window. After spotting Reichert sitting on a bench staring forlornly out at the park enough afternoons, and picking the detective up on his gaydar (actually, he spots Reichert smiling wistfully at two men walking by holding hands, and takes a guess), Doug wishes to find out more about him but has no clue how without outright asking him; a pal of his takes it upon himself to ask around even though Doug doesn't want him to. He finds out that Reichert is a former NYC detective who moved here after 9/11. Trying to think of a way to get his attention, Doug ends up designing a commemorative 9/11 window display of a sparkly glowing Manhattan complete with Twin Towers. Of course, when Reich goes walking by on his way to his bench, he can't help but notice this; eventually he learns that Doug created it, they meet, and things pick up REALLY QUICKLY from there. Unfortunately as I already said, it doesn't last. After witnessing a plane crash (nobody is killed, but it still stuns him), Reichert starts to fall apart; he goes to a bar, gets drunk, and heads home with a stranger he meets there (this scene is in progress). This stranger, Roy, is a nice guy, but Reichert asks him to be downright brutal, and thus starts his downward spiral into endless self-punishment. The second guy he lets pick him up forces him when he changes his mind about wanting sex; since Reichert doesn't fight back, or protest much, and even sees the guy again, he decides not to report it. He then seizes on some tiny stupid reason to get into a huge fight with Doug, but Doug, confused, doesn't fight back. Reichert does all the yelling and breaks up with him in an hysterical fit. It's years before Doug ever learns why. Following this Reichert hops from bar to bar and bed to bed (to public restroom, to motel, to alley...), desperately seeking distraction without success, and getting pretty battered along the way. I'm fairly certain he's sexually assaulted plenty of times, but he doesn't view it as coercion, and even if it is, well, he deserves it for surviving when so many other people didn't. Currently Reichert has ended up with Officer Joe Silvertree ("First Ride"), a Lakota tribal officer with a sadistic streak that complements Reichert's masochistic streak just nicely. As always, Reichert tries every way he knows how to convince Silvertree to break up with him, but none of it works. Their relationship boils down to the two of them getting in a huge knock-down, drag-out fight (usually instigated by Reichert, usually won by Silvertree), coming to blows, having sex (sometimes willingly, sometimes against Reichert's will), then lapsing into vague disinterest toward each other for a while until they get in a fight again. And yes, he does pair up with Rhoades, just once, very unpleasantly (that too is in progress). HOWEVER...well through the writing of "Milk Cartons," a story of Reichert's NYC days told from ex-boyfriend Matt's POV, I'm finding it hard to keep Reichert stuck in this downward spiral. He and Matt really, really got along. I think Matt is the only one who can save him...so I'm thinking up believable ways for this to happen. In the meantime, Doug finally learns that he did absolutely nothing to instigate their breakup, though he still carries a torch for Reichert; although sad about their parting ways, he'd like to at least remain friends, and I think he helps out the detectives on a case somehow. (Really, REALLY awkward for poor Reich.) When this was originally written, Doug and Reichert were intended to be a steady couple, but as you can see it didn't work out. But it's good to see where things began. So here you go; enjoy Reichert, before he got really...well, slutty. PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: Keep in mind that while they seem happy together, this pairing just doesn't last...nor the next, nor the one after that...I really need to convince Reichert to get in and STAY in therapy... o_o Like the Brooks/Devetko "first time" scene, "Consummation," this is a piece I believe I could write much better nowadays, so there might be an updated version sometime in the future. So be aware that the way these two interact, Reichert's and Doug's thoughts etc., are seriously outdated. (Reichert's technically "virgin" status in this piece was written before I knew of Matt, but it still stands; he and Matt never actually did the deed, though they did other things together; that will be in "Milk Cartons," whenever it's finished.) This scene is from circa 2003, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Used" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104611 : EXPLANATION: These two share a rather odd history, and based on it, some people might think they are either insane or really, really stupid. Well, if you're thinking that, you're wrong. *cough* Anyway. Kristeva is a ritual abuse survivor who became a detective, and Natalie is an artist whom he met when...she ran into his car. Aw. After a very brief engagement they married, but it only lasted about three months due to Kristeva's abusive behavior--he tended to throw angry fits, during which he occasionally threatened her, hit her, and once held a knife to her throat. The marriage ended after he sexually assaulted her...but oddly enough HE was the one to ask for a divorce, when she had simply wanted a temporary separation. You see, when Natalie called 911 after the rape, she discovered that Kristeva had nearly passed out in the bathroom, incoherent and with a badly bloody nose; the ambulance that was meant to carry HER to the hospital ended up taking HIM. Afterwards, he claimed no memory of the event. Natalie believed him (she'd seen the blank look in his eyes as it was happening), but granted the divorce request; he didn't want to keep hurting her, and so they separated. (She also refused to press charges, insisting that she would lie if pressured to do so.) Some time passed, and Kristeva eventually went into therapy and started to remember what had happened to him as a child. He went home one night, sat down upstairs, took out his gun, and put it to his head--and just as he was pulling the trigger, the phone rang. Turns out that his therapist, worried about him, called his chief at work...who told his partner, Devetko, to keep an eye on him...and Devetko called Natalie. Natalie, as luck would have it, called Kristeva up just as he was about to kill himself. Well, to make a long story short...they started seeing each other again...and eventually remarried...and although he still hasn't taken care of all of his problems (turns out--he has multiple personalities!), he has yet to ever hit or attack her again. In real life, I would have no sympathy for a guy who hits or assaults women...but remember this is just fiction. I made up what's going through Kristeva's mind so I know he is truly remorseful; although Natalie has apparently long gotten over it, he still carries great shame over the way he treated her. Somewhere I had written up the scene immediately following Natalie's rape, when she finds Kristeva in the bathroom, but I hadn't been comfortable enough yet writing the rape scene itself for some reason. This has just recently (2011) changed; that incident, as well as pretty much the history of their relationship, will hopefully show up online sometime in novella format. Check out "Progress" and "It Shows" for other scenes with these two. PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: Yipes, I forgot. This scene, "Used," is from Max and Natalie's FIRST marriage, before he assaulted her. That's why he's acting so oddly. She touches him, and I do not think he would have liked this very much (at the very least, he flinches away when touched--the scene gets that much right, at first), so that detail may be off. There's also the issue of which personality is "out" during the sex act--One (the host), Three (the protector who covers for One), or Four (the victim who takes over in sexual situations)? A case could be made for each; but if it's Four, then Kristeva shouldn't be making any noises at all, as Four is mute. (Four also tends to have a blank stare and doesn't react so passionately as in this scene.) This scene is from circa 2003, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

Explanation & Personal Disclaimer for "Bad Trick" http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104610 : EXPLANATION: Oyyyy. o_o; All right. *cough* Kristeva is one of my more royally messed up characters, as you can guess from reading this. He is NOT really (well, typically) a violent person...just...messed up. He is a ritual abuse survivor, and at the time of this scene has not yet realized that, so is still going through some pretty wonky stages. I believe this scene takes place after his first marriage to Natalie Kristeva (the two were married for about three months, then divorced, then married again a while later); so at the time of this, he is not married. He hasn't had much luck maintaining a stable relationship; feeling frustrated, he decides to pick up a prostitute and...THIS happens. Poor MK. Poor hooker, too. Yagh. I'm fairly certain that after this incident, MK just decides to go solo, in both meanings of the word. TMI, I know. Now here is a TERRIBLY SPOILERIFIC bit about this scene and what I've since developed, characterwise, since it was written. I'd say not to read this if you don't want things spoiled, but seeing as the novels may never end up written, enjoy yourselves. Since this scene is so old (see the disclaimers below), particular details may be contradictory to what I'm going to explain now, just so you're aware; it should really be rewritten. Det. Kristeva, to put it simply, has multiple personalities. As with his abuse, he isn't aware of this yet at the time of this incident; and also at this time, most of his daily life is pretty stable, with very few memory gaps, since "Number One" (the host personality) is the one most often out, whereas "Number Three" (a protector personality and one of the oldest/most important), the other personality at the time who spends a good deal of time out, is able to "give" his memories to Number One so One thinks they're his own, thus minimizing missing time. Only later on in the storyline do things start getting really weird when One and Three come into conflict. Whenever there's a violent or unwilling switch between conflicting alters, MK gets a terrible headache and nosebleed. For the record, I was as yet unaware that he's a multiple when this scene was first written; he's not the only one who was surprised. It took me quite a while to find out, too. At the time of this scene the following known personalities (they all answer to "Max Kristeva," hence the lack of actual names) exist: Number One, the host, who came into being around age eleven following a traumatic event (also the age at which his abuse ended); Number Three, the protector, who existed before the real splitting began, but only at that time started coming out; Number Four, the victim, a mute personality whose job is to deal with abusive and sexual situations; and Number Five, the core/original personality, who is permanently stuck at age five (the age at which the abuse started, not when it ended) and barely ever comes out. Three, the only personality who knows pretty much everything that's going on, assists One without One's knowledge, and tries to keep Four and Five in check. Five is no problem at all; he just stays inside and plays around. Four is another matter entirely. Since he was created to deal with sexual situations, that's when he tends to come out, sometimes unbidden. This starts happening more frequently the further along the storyline goes (MK did have some normal sexual relations before this scene, e. g.), and Three finds it increasingly difficult to keep Four under control. It's the conflicting dynamic between Three and Four that results in Kristeva's sexual assault on his own wife (which leads to the breakup of their first marriage)--following a fight between wife Natalie and Three, who is occasionally physically abusive, Four suddenly pops out and much nastiness ensues; Three fails to regain control until after the act is over with. Well, that's a lot like what's going on here. Based on MK's attitude, it seems to be Three who's out at the time he hires the prostitute, though it could be a gloomy One, as indicated at the end--the blank stare hints at Four, but that's unlikely here; Four might pop out at some time during the act, I'm unsure, so this is why MK talking during sex is unlikely since Four is mute; then, when he awakens to her touching him, Three pops out again and goes ballistic. And then out comes One, who has no idea what the hell is going on. (One seems to recall hiring the prostitute, so he might have been the presenting personality at the beginning of the scene, or else Three "gave" him this memory; unsure.) As I said, many details are probably off and I could do a better job writing this scene today more accurately. (One, Three, and Four start to get along more cooperatively much later on, with the help of Number Two, who doesn't exist yet at this time. In particular, Three learns to not be so frigging violent. Though he's a work in progress.) Oh yeah. The landlord's threat that Kristeva won't get away with this? Turns out he gets away with it. Just as with his assault on Natalie, the other party refuses to press charges and Sheriff Rhoades (you'll see PLENTY of him in other scenes) isn't too interested in pursuing matters. (Also turns out he's seriously got the hots for MK. Yes, you read that right.) PERSONAL DISCLAIMERS: A LOT of them. This is a much older scene, written before I knew many of the details of Kristeva's abuse. For one thing, the hooker touches him, and he would NOT have liked that, at the time this takes place. As his character now stands, he might have allowed this, but he would seriously flinch first, and probably wouldn't like being extensively touched. For another thing, the dialogue and character interactions are probably off, as well as Kristeva's personality. He was not a fully developed character at the time and much has changed since this was written; I just KNOW I must have gotten something wrong. Some of the actual details are probably incorrect, also. Do cops carry ID cards? And what's with that mixed metaphor ("stabbing waves") at the very end?? And the wandering POV sucks. And I have no clue how much a middle-of-the-road prostitute would charge. Oh, the tattoo business. When this was originally written, that was meant to be a cult tattoo that he had been given during his abuse, and I think it was on his left shoulder. In the actual storyline this has changed so it is now a mandala tattoo that he himself got as an adult, on his RIGHT shoulder. (It still has cult significance, but that's beyond the reach of this story...contact me if you're interested, which I know you're not. Or else seek out any scenes involving MK and/or Det. Wesley Singer, whenever they might be written. How did the hooker see that tattoo anyway, when Kris was on his back...?) And lastly, the detail about Kristeva not wearing a wedding ring is likely wrong; in the newest version of the storyline, he continued to wear his ring following his divorce, until new partner Devetko pointed it out, at which point he removed it; so he should be still wearing it in this scene. So...a lot of this scene could be wrong. I also noticed on typing it up that this is actually more character interaction than actual sex. Er. Sorry about that. o_o; But you should have expected that by now. This scene is from circa 2003, so some details and the writing style may be out of date.

STORY INDEX Seeing as I write so many scenes featuring so many different combinations of my characters, I felt a sort of "index" of pairings would be appropriate and hopefully useful. This can be used if there's a particular character or pairing you're interested in but you don't know the title of the story they appear in, or if you want to know what other scenes a character appears in. Firstly I'll have the index sorted by STORY TITLE, showing what pairing is featured in that particular story; then there is the reverse index sorted by PAIRING, each followed by the titles of the scenes they appear in. How are the pairing listings sorted? I tend to place either the name of the male character (if it's a M/F pairing), or the name of the dominant character and/or more important character (if it's F/F or M/M or some other combination), as the first name. A good example of how this works (and how puzzling it can get, I know) is the character Justin Reichert, an important male character who is gay and usually submissive. In scenes with minor character Doug Nyrkkanen, Reichert is named first, even if he might not be the dominant party, since he's the more important character. In his scene with Sheriff Rhoades, Rhoades is given first place in the title, as they're both important characters and Rhoades is the dominant party. And in Reichert's scene with Michelle Rosedale (a woman?--he was drunk out of his mind), he again gets top billing, as he's the male party. In the M/F scene, even if it were Rosedale playing the dominant role and Reichert being submissive, he'd still get top billing as he's the male. Sounds sexist, I know, but it's the easiest way for me to keep things sorted when I have so many pairings switching around. If you find yourself confused ("I'm looking for Brooks! He's listed first under 'Brooks, Stan/William' even though he's the passive party, then he's listed second under 'Devetko, Chance/Brooks, Stan' even though he's usually dominant!"), well, it's not too hard to just browse around until you come across the character that interests you. Though this is a general rule of thumb in ordering the various pairings in my works. Some scenes feature more than one pairing; for simplicity's sake I've listed them only by the primary characters involved. A few of these aren't "X/X"-type stories in that they contain adult content but don't focus on a particular pairing; for those (they're usually complete stories/novellas, not mere scenes), I've listed just the name of the primary character that story is about. For example, even though "Savior" is from Fa'rukha's POV and he has more "onscreen" time, it's listed under "She'hekha" as ultimately the story is about him. You'll notice that a few characters (William, Matthew, Danielle, Manuela, Brianna, Eli, Mandie, Lori...that's just off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more) have no last names given. This is because I haven't given them surnames yet, if ever. But if ever they should acquire a last name, the index entries featuring them will be edited accordingly. Lastly is the issue of unfinished items, or WIPs (works in progress). I always have a LOT of these lying around and have finally included them here; excluded are scenes that could fit into the Ameni Chronicles storyline, as those could be part of the larger serial. Since these are unfinished, most have no titles yet, thus will be listed in the "by title" index as "Untitled"; in the "by pairing" index, they'll be listed as usual, by pairing. To make this simpler, all WIPs are marked with an asterisk (*). It's my hope to remove the asterisks, title the pieces, and edit this post whenever a scene should be completed and posted. A notable exception at the moment is the unfinished novella "Milk Cartons"--it already has a title, but is still a WIP, so is listed by its title and not "Untitled" but is still marked with an asterisk. I doubt my work will ever attract enough attention to warrant the efforts of this index, but thought I'd share it anyway, just in case. (Admittedly, it also helps me keep things sorted out too, considering how often I can't remember the title of a pairing or what pairing appears in which scene! I can only recall so much.)

AND...they've already paid a visit to my newest three items, posted about an hour ago. *rolling eyes* Maybe I should be flattered that their entire world seems to revolve around me! (Oops, missed the latest post. (On dialup.) Thank you and sorry they're making me such a pain to you!)

(To be quite honest though, I was kind of hoping they would strike so I could make up my mind and report them regarding the earlier one-star ratings! I just had no idea they were so bored as to go this far. I think they need a hobby.)

Thank you for the swift and thoughtful action. Unfortunately, they've hit again. They've rated almost everything of mine with a one. It looks like they specifically targeted items that hadn't been rated yet, too. In fact I think I can see only ONE that they missed. (Surely an oversight on their part.) From the looks of it some of the rated items had already been rated with ones yesterday or the day before (e. g., two items that had had fives were suddenly both threes), but I didn't want to sound like somebody whining over every bad rating, but now it's obvious it's not an actual reader doing it. It really says something about somebody when they have nothing better to do than go through that many items and rate almost every one! It's not driving me off the site, so they're really wasting their time. If only I could find readers as dedicated to my work as this guy is, I'd be set for life! It's kind of pointless linking to the specific items since like I said, it's almost every one of them. http://original.adul...rs.php?no=19457 (Ed. for really stupid typo.)

I write exclusively original fiction, so I doubt this in particular is the reason, unless I have some kind of weird fan who hates my own pairings! O_o (Stranger things have happened.) The only reasons I can think of are they don't like that I include plot, or they don't like that I'm prolific. I've had people complain to me in the past that I write too much. Sometime following my post here a couple of people showed up to up-rate the stories in question, raising two of the ones to threes and one of them to a four, but sometime between around nine or ten this morning and now (noon), someone again arrived and rated them with ones, bringing them back down to a two and two threes. (Now I have TWO people irked with me?? This is really weird, I'm usually invisible!) If it was somebody just not liking my writing, that hurts but I could understand, but these ratings coming so fast makes me fairly certain they're rating just to down-rate and are not actually reading anything. I do have to wonder what about me caught their interest and aroused their ire. :/ I'll attempt to send a PM though I'm not sure I know how! *is clueless*
