Thank you. The shame element of bondage is something that I think about a lot. There is a part of me that wishes that it wasn't as stigmatized as it seems to be. But there's another part of me that wonders how the lack of such a stigma would reflect on my relationship with it. Part of me wishes that I could go to the supermarket and see somebody just wearing a ball gag like it's no big deal. But I also wonder if the taboo nature of it is what makes it so charged for me. I think to a certain extent that's what I'm trying to find out when I write stories.GreyLord wrote: ↑1 year ago Well done. The sisters are finally learning about each other. I expect Lexi will finally get the whole story. Excellent writing. You have expressed feeling that I expect a lot of us have. We do not think what we do is wrong. Yet, in our society, there is shame associated with it. I wonder if sites like this might do a little toward helping the public at large understand our kinks.
Lexi is certainly going to get her own chapter. It will be the only other chapter that rivals being as long as this one. And in it we'll get a better understanding of the dynamic between the two sisters. They are very different. And their relationship is often awkward because of these differences. But they absolutely care for each other a lot. And while they may prod and tease each other...they'd never willfully let anything bad happen to the other one. Lexi appreciates that Julie is in a pickle and wants to have "a little" fun with it. Partially because she believes that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. But she's not into the "distress" of bondage in the way that her sister is. Lexi almost exclusively operates on the lighter, "fun" side of the bondage coin. Sort of like when she left her dad to stew in bondage for four minutes back at No Proscenium. Just enough teasing to get your loved one a little worked up...but then Lexi comes to the rescue.Rtj65 wrote: ↑1 year ago Lexi comes across very well in this part, she was very understanding about the whole thing as expected, but didn't push Julie too much when she wasn't forthcoming about what had happened. I feel like she's going to milk this though, which is fair enough considering that she's doing Julie a huge favour here.
And you definitely conveyed the shame that can be associated with bondage very well - I thought that the description of Julie's dash across campus was really well written, it felt like a very accurate portrayal of what that kind of situation would feel like.
I appreciate it. Obviously Lexi and Brendan were going to meet and discover that they'd interacted with bondage prior to his meeting Julie at some point. I decided it might be nice to show the revelation occur within the scope of the story since Lexi and Brendan won't feature together in a chapter again for several months of story time (since this was a flashback and the current narrative is already seven months ahead). So I threw it into this chapter.charliesmith wrote: ↑1 year ago Another great update. Thoroughly enjoyed the interactions between Julie and Lexi. It was also fun to read how Julie discovers that Brendan and Lexi have met already!
I'm glad you're enjoying it. There will be lots more characters from previous chapters intersecting and interacting with each other. And we might even come to realize that some of them have already interacted with each other without the reader being aware of it.Lucky Lottie wrote: ↑1 year ago Loving it. The characters coming full circle into each other's stories is fantastic.
You have my promise that each of the sisters will get tied up at least once more in the narrative. And each of them will get to tie somebody else up at least once more. So we're certainly not done with Lexi and Julie.Rtj65 wrote: ↑11 months ago Seeing the different parts of this story connect to one another is what really makes this story brilliant, I think. After seeing so much of Julie and Lexi individually, it was great to see their dynamic when they are together. I'm sure the final part of this chapter won't be the last we see of them in these situations.
Thank you very much. It means a lot. I hope future parts deliver what you're hoping for.FabianStr2016 wrote: ↑11 months ago Everything is so great, the story, writing, characters... Im really exited for the next part!
This line sums up exactly how I feel, too. Great job!
I appreciate it. Once I introduce a character, I'm never just going to forget about them. Sometimes they might not make a return appearance, but oftentimes they will. And Tabitha and Dominic definitely still have parts to play in the story going forward.Lucky Lottie wrote: ↑11 months ago Just when I thought the story couldn't get any better, you bring not one but two characters out into the light. I can't wait to see where this goes.
Thank you. I've got a small series of "Kaleidoscope" stories that I've written (four at present). Because the narrators and POVs are constantly shifting and the stories are interconnected, it's important that I know where I'm going. So I do storyboard all of these stories before I ever start writing them. That's not the case with single narrator stories like Capture Club where I'm not trying to connect a bunch of threads.GreyLord wrote: ↑11 months ago You must have given this story a tremendous amount of thought and planning, [mention]Fandango[/mention]. The levels of complexity that you display continue to amaze. It was surprising to see Dominic as the road back to Tabitha. Now, I want to know much more about Tabitha. Well done.
Yeah. I didn't really expect people to just assume that Tabitha and Hazel were the same person. I made the descriptions match up (tall, red hair, green eyes, alluring beauty) but not enough that people would think that they're the same person. You also can't really draw too much about Tabitha's characterization from her appearance in Chapter 5 because she's playing a role there. Technically she was playing a role in Chapter 3. And she might be playing one in Chapter 7. Tabitha will eventually get a POV chapter and we'll find out who she is and what she's about.Rtj65 wrote: ↑11 months ago Really cool chapter, fascinating to see things circle back to the heist and hear about it from a different perspective, which definitely helped make the characters involved even more well-rounded.
Plus, learning about Tabitha's involvement in the No Proscenium show was a nice surprise. There's clearly a lot more to her than meets the eye. Looking forward to the rest of the chapter!
I don't have a problem spoiling this quandary. Dominic will tie up Tabitha in a future chapter. Both Dominic and Tabitha will find themselves both in the role of captor and captive again before the story is over.
Well then you'll be glad to hear that there is a good amount more of Tabitha to come. This story is 12 chapters and was designed so that the four main characters (Lexi, Brendan, Julie, and Tabitha) will each appear in four of the six chapters. They've each appeared in three thus far and only Brendan and Julie have had their POV chapters...so there is a lot more Tabitha coming down the pipe.charliesmith wrote: ↑11 months ago Happy to see you back again!
Enjoyed this latest update. Tabitha is such a beautiful and amazing character. I am falling in love with her. Haha!
