Phallic Friday - D/s

Dominance/submission is listed as a fetish, so it's in my list. It'll play a large role in my story.

I think D/s plays a large role in a lot of fetishes - sometimes in an obvious way, and other times with more obscurity. I'm hoping I might be able to show that.

D/s can be done well, or done poorly. In some relationships the Dom/me can be abusive rather than dominant. In others, the sub can be controlling rather than truly submissive. I want to touch on some of these kinds of relationships, have a look at pairings that aren't right...when sometimes the couple don't know they're not right.

To me, it's a mental 'game' so much more than a physical one. And I'm hoping this story might be able to work on that.

Peri is a submissive who's not had a lot of life experience. She's curious about everything and trying to stand on her own, so she's ripe for learning, desperate for knowledge and eager to work out how she's going to fit into this new world. That gives me a lot to play with...I hope!

So there'll be a D/s theme throughout the whole story, but there'll also be D/s themes and characters in scenes within the story.

I think there are some writers who do fantastic D/s scenes, so I'll be reading and re-reading to make sure I can get the right kind of feel. One of the most amazing submissive voices I've read is the opening story in The Big Book of Submission. That story blew me away with the clever insight into the submissive mind. Stories like that give me somewhere to aim ... way way up high!!!

Wildlife Wednesday - spiders (with photo)

Mr E taped this awesome show that was on sometime ago called Spider House. It was a BBC program so not a lot of our spiders, but an unreal program just the same.

During the second part, they talked spider sex and babies. They showed lots of baby spiders emerging from their cocoon/sac, which maybe got my eye in for looking for baby spiders. It's the baby time of year and in the next two days after seeing the show, I found 2 babies. This one I managed to photograph, even if it's a completely weird image! Let me explain :)

The spider is on a mirror. So I got my little camera right up close, and got a shot of the spider and my camera. That part of my camera is 2 cm across, so the baby's little. And he looks really coloured here but to the naked eye, he was like a spider husk. That's how I found it. I thought it was the dead spider and I blew it, but it scurried away! I think it's a baby huntsman, we get a few of them in our house.

On the Spider House show, they showed lots of webs and discussed web building and even dissected a dead spider to examine the spinnerets inside it's abdomen. It was fascinating. I didn't realise that spiders produce at least 4 different types of silk that have different roles in web building and prey capture. There's really high tensile silk that makes the anchor points for the web, then a lighter silk to make the initial circuits to bed down the shape/space, then a tougher, stickier silk to weave the web, and also a different lighter/finer silk to capture prey and house their eggs.

If you get to see the show, it's really worthwhile. But if you're not fond of spiders, they do lots and lots of close ups!!

Sunday Story - Secret Confessions: Sydney Housewives

Release Date: 1st March 2015

Lana is in print!!!

The lovely people at Harlequin have bundled the 11 Sydney Housewives up together and launched us into print, in one gorgeous glossy book.

We'll be out in Target and Big W, selected Dymocks shops and other booksellers, on 1 March, for (I think) $15.99.

I've never seen a book I'm in, live in a bookshop, so I'll be a lot excited to see this...I might even take photos :)

No idea how they'll sell...but it has to help that the 50 Shades movie is out now (I hope!).

Good luck, girls!!

Phallic Friday - mutual masturbation

Mutual masturbation isn't a very weird fetish, is it? I've written these sorts of scenes before. In Deep Diving there's one, with some musculature dancing.

Wikipedia has a huge amount of info on the different forms of mutual masturbation, if you're interested you can go here.

I'm going to look at mutual masturbation in a D/s role, I think. I'm also going to use frottage in the D/s scene.

This is from wikipedia: "Frottage is the general term for the act of rubbing any part of the body, including the buttocks, the breasts, abdomen, thighs, feet, hands, legs and sexual organs against the sexual organ of another person; this is done whether naked or clothed."

This is a great way to extend foreplay, and I think D/s play can really highlight this. I'm not entirely sure how it will go, but hopefully it'll be hot and steamy - and maybe a little eye-opening for Peri who won't have seen anything like this before. Well, I think that's what will happen! This book isn't writing as quickly as Fridays are coming around - but at least I'm thinking about it and working out how these scenes might fit together (well, that's what I tell myself).
