The Ultimate Submission (Jacqueline's Story) By Gato Medio [Not a chapter - just some preliminary comments] "_The Ultimate Submission (Jacqueline's Story)_" is my first long story. It's of the size which may justify calling it a book. It is divided into twenty-one chapters and - barring any unforeseen events - will be posted in seven weekly instalments of three chapters each. In a way, "_The Ultimate Submission_" is really my first story. I started working on it under the title "_Jacqueline's story_" roughly a year ago. There came a point when I felt Jacqueline needed some time to decide in which direction she wanted to go and I wrote four considerably shorter stories which were published between February and May 2004. "_The Ultimate Submission_" is also my first story which had the benefit of being reviewed by an editor before being published. I consider myself lucky to have had the help of Peter Z who scrutinized my scribbling and pointed out errors and other problems. There is no doubt in my mind that the final product has gained considerably from Peter Z's contribution. So, here's a big 'Thank you' to you, Peter Z! By the way: The story is written in British English, so don't blame Peter Z if you come across a word which looks 'kind of weird'. The British spelling and any errors which still made it into the published text are entirely my responsibility. Now go to Chapter 1
