I've posted a handful of stories here, and have received many nice comments. But one thing that sort of bothers me is that all of the stories I've posted were written 10-plus years ago. I haven't written a single new spanking story in over a decade.
That's not to say I haven't written at all. While I was still writing spanking stories, I was also writing BDSM-type stories, and other stories with content not suitable for this site. Eventually, these other stories took up my time (mostly long-form, multi-chapter stories with complex plots), and the plain old spanking stories fell by the wayside.
An unfortunate casualty of this was a multipart spanking story I started, called, "Pamela & Richard". It's a story about a brother and sister who have a very close relationship, and the older brother regularly spanks the younger sister. I want to state up front that this is not an incest story. I deliberately wrote what has so far been written in a way that makes it clear that there are no sexual undertones to the brother-sister spanking relationship. The story is about a troubled girl who loves and looks up to her older brother, and sees him as her moral support and confidante, and a young man who loves and admires his little sister and wants what's best for her. The spanking part of their relationship is the result of their father deciding, when the girl turned 16, that she was "too old" for spankings. The brother was the only one to recognize the mental-emotional issues that started, or at least became stronger, in his sister when the spankings stopped, and to realize that she needed the spankings, even if she didn't realize it herself. The girl herself gets no sexual kick from being spanked, and in fact hates being spanked. But something inside her needs them.
Anyway, this is a story I have desperately wanted to finish for a very long time. I've gone back to it repeatedly over the years, intending to continue from where I left off, but ... every time, I find myself unable to get into the mental state I was in when I was writing the existing chapters. I know exactly how the story will end, and how it will get there, but I sit down, reread the existing chapters, and try to start writing the next one ... and nothing. I know what I want to write, I just can't write it. One problem that concerns me is the style and feel of the writing. As I said, I've written a lot of other stories since I started this one, and my style has changed and developed. So I fear that, at this point, if I manage to actually continue the story, there is going to be a jarring style difference between chapters six and seven.
But, I also suspect that part of the problem is that, until PhilK pointed me to this site, I simply haven't had an audience for my stories. My existing stories here were all originally written for another site, back around 2002-2004, and I found that having an audience prompted me to write new material. But as I started focusing more on different "genres", my newer stories were no more appropriate for that site than they would be here, so I stopped posting there, and eventually that site disappeared (well, it's still there, but under new ownership, and I felt like an intruder the last time I tried to poke my head in). So for ten years or so, I've simply been writing for an audience of one. Me. Oh, I found a site to post my other stories, but that site has also changed ownership, and the new owners have made technical changes to the site to where I cannot manage to log in (I even went to the trouble of repurchasing and registering an old domain name that I used to own, simply to get back the e-mail address I used to register at that site), nothing seems to work, and repeated attempts to contact the site owners have gone unanswered (I have one multi-part story there that I would really like them to take down, because it's been sitting there, unfinished, for ten years, and I hate having it there like that. And I can't even manage that.)
So now that I've found this site, and have an audience, I'm thinking of taking a chance that simply having you, an audience, might motivate me to continue, and finish, "Pamela and Richard". What I want to do is submit the first two chapters. The first chapter was originally meant to be a one-off, humorous short story, but then I decided to follow it up, and the much more serious chapter two made me realize that the story had potential as a "serial". Chapter three or four needs some rewriting to bring it in line with the site rules, so it would follow once the rewriting is complete. The last existing chapter I simply want to rewrite to remove or alter some of Richard's scenes that, in hindsight, are a bit gratuitous. But, having an audience ... I humbly think that this is a story that would have you begging for more, and perhaps such begging might help me actually write the next chapter.
Sound like a plan? |
