Happy Valentine's Day! To celebrate, here is a new story, Tales of a Secret Sex Writer, starring yours truly!
Before I give a brief introduction to it, let me just take a few minutes and talk about a few things I discovered about myself while I was writing this story. I know, I know. I do far too much self-reflection. If you don't want to read my ramblings, skip down to the last paragraph.
I realized, as I was writing Chapter 7, that to me, eroticism is all about crossing lines (and you'll notice that that seems to be the theme of Chapters 7 and 8). Having something is not as exciting as obtaining it. Or, as I've mentioned elsewhere, the journey is as exciting as the destination.
If you examine my stories, you'll notice several themes that run through them, many of which can be traced back to that one simple statement. For instance, the characters often start out innocent. Either they're virgins, or inexperienced, or they have never engaged in the particular act that the story is about. I use innocent characters because it backs up their starting line a long way to draw out the journey even longer, giving them more lines to cross. Likewise, the forbidden nature of the acts in my stories (incest in particular) pushes the destination further away, also drawing out the journey. You'll notice I'll spend a great deal of time on ambiguous flirting, because that holds the characters right on the line, not quite allowing them to cross it. That tension heightens the eroticism of the story by promising and then teasing by not delivering right away.
That leads to my favorite theme, incest. Incest is all about transitioning between two types of love: family love and romantic love. Again, along the way everything gets ambiguous so you're not quite sure where the lines are. That ambiguity causes sexual tension that heightens the eroticism of the story.
All right. Now let's talk about the story.
Warning! Spoilers!
This is one of those stories that got out of control and turned into something much longer. It was originally supposed to be just a short story involving the events from Chapters 1-3 (and the first part of 4), and in fact, the title of Chapter 3 was meant to be the title and theme of the story.
No Guilt. It was an intriguing idea, one that implied a question. How could you do something wicked without a blow to your conscience? The obvious answer, of course, is if you don't have a choice. If the wicked act involves sex, that usually implies rape. But if the victim is willing, and in fact wants it to happen, that lessens the horror of it. In fact, I removed the concept of rape entirely by the reversal of the typical aggressor and victim. In this case, the father is forced into the act by his daughters, despite the fact that he wants it just as much as they do.
In order to make the events believable, I needed a way for father and daughter to discover their secret fantasies so that the daughters would know they're not really doing it against their father's will (otherwise it really would be rape). I came up with the idea of all of them secretly having an incest fetish, and coincidentally exploring it on the same sites online.
Suddenly, I had a great idea. "Daddy" has a secret online identity that he doesn't want his family to know about. On the surface he's a good, wholesome, decent guy but he's got this dark side that comes out online. That is a perfect description of Daddycums. I took that spark of inspiration and ran with it, deciding to use my own online persona as the main character. Naturally that begged for a first person perspective, plus that allowed me to never give the main character a real name. Notice that not once does his real name appear in the story. It's always "I" or "me" or "Daddy" or "Daddycums."
With such a great idea, I couldn't just write a quick short story and leave it at that. Since this story was meant to show my fictional lifestyle, I decided to combine several fantasies into one. First, I invented this ideal family. A wife, at least two daughters (gotta have a threesome, after all), and no sons (I don't want another male interfering with my harem). I gave each daughter a distinct personality and look so that they weren't just clones of each other. I also projected some of my own philosophies (e.g. There are no real people on the internet) and experiences (e.g. strange and amusing comments on my stories) onto the character.
Finally, since this was an ideal family, I couldn't just get Daddycums alone with his girls by having him be a single parent, so I needed an excuse to get Mom out of the house. Since I didn't want her to be lonely, I added a third daughter and came up with the "special vacation" idea.
With the addition of Mom and the third daughter, I figured I needed at least three parts to this story. The first part would be my original "No guilt" idea. The second would be getting Mom involved so that she was okay with the new relationship. The third would be bringing the youngest daughter in on the action to remove all obstacles and bring some closure to the story.
Unfortunately, the buildup in the first part ended up being so long that I had to split it, which meant I had to draw out the other two parts as well. In the end, I ended up with nine chapters and over fifty thousand words, which is right on the border between a novella and a full length novel (although Allison and the Primdales is still over ten times as long).
