I've been spending these past four weeks doing daily content for the interactive "SkinsOpen in new Window. (note: graphic content within), trying to breathe some life into it. Being a fan of interactives like "The Book of MasksOpen in new Window. and being an on/off contributor, I was eyeing providing some work for it, and I finally got the chance after dealing with some personal projects.

I started the contributions with "To the David goes the SpoilsOpen in new Window. and worked all four options, at the tune of one branch per week. I had a general idea on what to work in, but as I went on, I saw that idea evolve into a very interesting and notorious set of characters. Most of the branches ended slowly introducing them, but running short of revealing the mastermind behind it all - until "Meet the WrightsOpen in new Window., where I introduced Tessa Wright, and the two following chapters showing how she "works". Even I'm surprised by the results, to be honest.

I feel this is a good moment to plug it, as well as thank everyone who has tipped and offered words of support. I plan to continue developing these branches and work on some others, since I feel this interactive has some promise. Hopefully this plug-in will allow others to experience the story and maybe even contribute!

(And yes, also plugging my own work, because why not? Always looking for people willing to check it.)

No issue with plugging your own stuff. I've been basically non-existant on my writing as even the things I have ideas for I don't feel enthused about because BoM feels kind of dead without Seuzz around.
rugal b. Author Icon - Keep trying. We could always do a Round Robin (maybe even complete the one we had left in the dust last big crash) to revitalize it, but you can always try to collaborate elsewhere.

I've been working on my own personal projects and after achieving a very important milestone, I went straight here while taking copious notes of that other project for continuity purposes. I've been wary about posting anything on BoM for the same reasons as you, but that doesn't mean I can't do other stuff. I even got a sort-of request from someone to continue one of the three stories I have in my portfolio, so there's that as well. (Curiously, I was gonna ask you about weather in your place, and whether that was the reason why you were so silent.)

Anyways, I'd like to see more "Student Bodies ReduxOpen in new Window., now that you unleashed it. (Sounds better than released, no?)
Almost three months after, here's the next chapter of my adult erotic story:

A Transition Proposal Open in new Window. [GC]
As he wears a synthetic skinsuit of a woman, Armando learns of its - and women's - secrets
by Nostrum Author Icon
.

This one has our hero Armando fully immersed in the act of wearing a skinsuit, but unlike other stories of its kind where the suit is downright magical and the wearer immediately loves being a woman, there's some resistance. I feel skinsuit stories could use some degree of realism, even though the suit itself is far more advanced than anything we could currently create. I hope I reach that degree of verisimilitude, where you can easily suspend your disbelief and enjoy the story.

(And yes, that includes putting the main character into the body of a plain woman with defects rather than a hot woman. But don't worry; at some point, hot women will appear.)

A Friendship Proposal Open in new Window. [GC]
Armando agrees to hear Evelyn's proposal and the gift of a new life that comes with it.
by Nostrum Author Icon


This is the next chapter following "An Unexpected ProposalOpen in new Window., where the eponymous proposal is finally revealed. As you can see, it is more complex than set on the previous chapter, and with an unexpected twist.

Furthermore, we finally see our protagonist wearing one of Evelyn's skinsuits. How will it fare? What new experiences will he live as Mathilda?

As usual - note that this story is meant for adults, and thus has very vivid depictions. Please show your support if you want to see more.
I promised I'd work it out during the weekend at my Weekly Goals post ("UPDATE: 2 out of 3 ain't bad, innit? (7/28)"  Open in new Window.), and while I finished it today, I started it *during* the weekend. Here's the follow-up to "Escape from Dhagor KeepOpen in new Window.

 Confessions along the Way Open in new Window. [13+]
Under the darkness of night, Aljar and Degor learn the truth about the orc mastermind.
by Nostrum Author Icon


It's less action-based and more focused on world-building, but it also serves to flesh out Hendak and Degor a lot more. It should be obvious by now that Hendak is cunning, but I'd like to explore his viciousness a bit more. I intend to show how he got the cart, because it serves as a good exploration on how a villain can be vicious and ruthless without being comically so. I also want to explore Degor a bit more, as he's setting up to be the "token good teammate".

Hopefully the pace isn't too slow - I wanted to give them a bit of respite after their daring escape, hence their lengthy conversation. Rest assured that that their escape wasn't unnoticed, and that it won't be left unchronicled.
Hey everyone. Here's the follow-up to "The Law of the LuchadorOpen in new Window.

The Start of the Luchador(a) Open in new Window. [13+]
El Hijo del Caballero sets Vernon's plans in motion by becoming a new talent - Cynthia
by Nostrum Author Icon


There's a lot of references to real-life wrestling, but it's set on an alternate universe where most of the major wrestling promotions never existed. There's no WWE, no WCW, no ECW, no New Japan, no Consejo Mundial de la Lucha Libre, etc. It should be obvious who's the RL counterpart to El Caballero de Plata (the cover spoils it), but I wanted a spin for his son.

It's a pretty emotional chapter with some humor mixed in. There's also the appearance of a new character - one that'll cause some problems in the future. Next chapter should show a bit of the internals of the Millenium Wrestling Association. What do you think of the story so far? Is it a fair representation of the wrestling culture in the US? Is it fun?

When is this set? It just felt odd that in a world where everyone knows the worked nature of Pro Wrestling and where Tessa Blanchard (convincingly) won a men's world heavyweight title, the concern of fighting women is in this. You said this is an alternate world, and yet the Kaufmann stuff happened. I know that was before Vince Jr took over the WWF, but without Vinnie Mac, then Lawler's Memphis territory possibly would have gone national instead, especially on the back of this. The NWA was already coughing up blood; someone was going to go rogue.

Apart from that, it reads fine. The concept of skins is interesting; how do they wash themselves?

Good luck going forward!
Interesting question. I'm starting to develop the idea, so I appreciate you mentioned this. Note, however, that this is still very early, and I wouldn't consider it canon unless it appears in the story as a whole.

I can say that it's set at least during the 2010s (probably early in the decade, as Internet becomes more ubiquitous), but there's still a lot of differences. I'm trying to make fights less worked - next chapter or two should show how the MWA handles combats, and subsequently how FAWN handles them, and how they approach "sports entertainment".

As for the Kaufman situation - it's a bit complex. Overall, the main changes in this story regarding ours is how wrestling evolved everywhere - US, Mexico, Japan and elsewhere. Again, it's too early to speak about it, but it's reasonable that there was a territory that got crushed by the AAWF in the same way the WWF/E dealt with the NWA, but it's also possible that Kaufman made his appearances in the AAWF itself, being the premier wrestling promotion, or whatever preceded the AAWF, and challenged women wrestlers before getting into a shoot fight with someone. (As a note: Ross LaQuale is a former wrestler, as most color commentators are, and he mixes aspects of Gorilla Monsoon and Jerry "the King" Lawler, so it's possible that "the Boss" was the one that fought Kaufman instead.)

As for how Blanchard's victory might influence the perception of intra-gender championships - I can't say much since I've mostly seen WWF/E and local promotions, as well as following a few wrestlers and see a few fights from AAA in Mexico. However, I feel that the story's reflecting the second Women's revolution in wrestling - well past Chyna, Lita, Trish and Mickie James showing a women's division could have interesting fights, but before, say, Beth Phoenix or Natalya or Awesome Kong or Gail Kim. (Definitely not the current trend - though I'm certainly a fan of Asuka and Becky Lynch.) That said, you might've noticed that Vernon's a little misogynistic, though he can see how a strong woman's division can help the business. And Esteban is old-fashioned, so there's that too.

As for the washing? That's for later, but I have to keep it 13+, so that'll be a challenge.
Hey everyone. Decided to post the follow-up to "An Indecent ProposalOpen in new Window. [GC]:

An Unexpected Proposal Open in new Window. [GC]
After learning Evelyn's shocking secret, Armando returns to listen to their proposal
by Nostrum Author Icon


As I mentioned before, this is meant to be part of a longer story, one that touches on intrigue and deception and full of candid moments, but also a touching one.

This chapter has less sexual content but it has nudity and therefore it retains the same rating as the previous one. It's also meant to expand the world a bit.

As with before, I'd appreciate reviews of both chapters (and any other show of appreciation - *wink, wink*), but most specifically, I'd like to hear if you want more content like this.
Hey everyone. Here's the other prompt I wanted to work with. I wanted to write a fantasy story from the perspective of villains, but ones that are actually smart and sensible. Hopefully I nailed it.

 Escape from Dhagor Keep Open in new Window. [13+]
An imprisoned mage in dire straits is given a chance to escape Grantier's notorious prison
by Nostrum Author Icon


My apologies to readers that are fluent in Klingon if I screwed up the grammar. I thought it'd be an interesting twist on a language meant for a sci-fi universe.
Hey everyone. Here's one of two prompts I wanted to work with, a first chapter for a longer story much like my first item, but this one's meant for a wider audience. Though it uses a trope from my other story (the use of a "skinsuit"), the focus is much different - wrestling, which I've loved since I was a kid. I had this idea running in my mind and I hope I translated it well enough for you to enjoy it.

Happy anniversary
Hey everyone. I usually contribute to "The Book of MasksOpen in new Window. and "The Wandering StarsOpen in new Window., but I decided to post something on my own: "An Indecent ProposalOpen in new Window.. (Note: not safe for work; sexual content.)

It's essentially a prompt - a first chapter that's nonetheless self-contained - for a longer story, mostly to gauge interest on stories like this. It's a very important milestone for me, and I'd appreciate if you were to review it for improvement and support if you like it.
