A foray into new territory

[wiseheart]

All right, originally, I planned to write a report about my time in language camp (which I hated) in excruciating detail, but somehow I didn't feel like wasting time and energy on conserving unpleasant feelings.

Besides, a fairly insane plotbunny attached itself to my ankle, and I didn't manage to shake it off. I've never written gratuitous smut before, but all that time spent on atlantis_slash must have rubbed off, so I've started a series titled The Darkroom of Atlantis, which, as you can guess, contains a(n un)healthy amount of spanking, bondage&discipline and all that stuff. The Prelude and the first part of Chapter 1 are already posted to hiddenrealms.

Now, the main reason why I posted this stuff at all was because I've read so many poorly written smut in several different fandoms. I thought I'd try to write something beyond the usual "how-to-do" manuals. With some characterization, character background and all that stuff. Whether I've succeeded or not, it's up to the readers to decide.

For those unfamiliar with the characters, I also provided visualisations, so that you can see whom I was talking about.

Erm... I think I'm gonna avoid looking into the mirror for the next couple of weeks or so.

First of all, thank you. :))
I was about to despair a little that people would be too shocked, either by the smut part or by the psychology part.

I'm working on Part 2 now, in which some more serious talking between Markham and Stacks will take place, and Jamie decides to experiment a bit.

So please continue, and if it helps I will comment on all the chapters when I read them.

That'd be awfully nice of you. I'm always interested in what people like in my stories (as they usually don't hesitate to tell me what they don't like *g*), and a dialogue with readers is always very stimulating.
