Video: Inspiration for Weekend Away story

And just for the heck of it, here's the video that inspired the Weekend Away story, so you can see what I was describing. Because she never looks directly at the camera in this video, I had to find a different vid of her in a similar outfit to use for the earlier video edit that I "captioned" as the original version of the story.



Weekend Away (A Sex Mage Story)

So as I mentioned earlier, I’m still having trouble with the specific story I had planned to finish and post by next week. So I decided to work on a different one instead, and it was short enough that I finished it quickly.

This one started as a text story, but I realized it would be very short, so I decided to try doing it as a caption for a video I edited instead. But as mentioned as #5 in my Reader’s Poll, I always intended to get back to writing the prose version of it. So here it is.

This story is set in the Sex Mage World, created by Salamando Flame. You can find his work at https://sexmagesandotherstrangeness.blogspot.com/. And to borrow the note from the beginning of his story, “Celebrity Sex Mage” (which was my intended title for this story, before he beat me to it), “This story uses fake versions of existing celebrities as a narrative shorthand. It is not meant to be a serious speculation on what their real world counter parts would be like in this scenario.” I’ve also copied his method of substituting easily identifiable fake names instead of using the actual celebrity names.

Oops

I screwed up. You know how my last post said that I have a completed story, and I just want to revise the ending? And if I couldn’t find time for the revision, then I’d just post it as is? Well, I went back and re-read the story right after posting that, and realized it wasn’t actually completed after all. It doesn’t have any ending, not even one that I don’t like. So posting it “as is” isn’t an option, after all. This is what I get for opening my mouth without checking the story first, after not looking at it in roughly two years.

I have worked on it a little since then. I’m just not entirely happy with it, and it’s not done yet. In fact, the more I work on it, the less I like the story overall. But I’m still trying to finish it, or else maybe switch to writing something else.

I’m still shooting to have something new to post by my self imposed March 16 deadline. I’m just not sure what yet. It might just be another a chapter of a completely different story, instead of the finished story that I promised.

New story coming soon!

I have a little extra free time right now, and I'm feeling motivated to get back to my writing. 

And I have one story that I pretty much finished writing years ago, but I wasn't happy with the ending. I keep saying that I want to go back and change the part I don't like before sharing it with anybody. It's #2 on the Reader's Poll, in case you're wondering.

But I made a decision today: If I'll never actually get around to finishing the damn thing, then I may as well just post it as is.

So I'm setting a deadline of two weeks from today. I'm either making the changes that finish the story to my satisfaction, or I'm giving up on changing it and just posting the old, slightly less satisfying version by then.

Either way, there will be a new story on this blog by March 16, at the latest. I figure announcing it here will motivate me to actually do it. If I actually miss the deadline, I expect all 2 or 3 of my loyal readers to give me shit over it.
