and the ancient porn stories on &#8220;About -&gt; Writing Genesis&#8221; if you haven&#8217;t noticed there&#8217;s stuff not available anywhere else there )<\/p>\n<p>Odds are that these will be interludes &#8212; heavy on sex, or stories with no sexual content from Danica&#8217;s World.\u00a0 Likely examples would be:<\/p>\n<p>Telling Geflon&#8217;s backstory that fits in with Casting Off Convention, To Catch a Merchant Princess, and the forthcoming Lowborn.<\/p>\n<p>Things like relating how the girls managed to &#8216;borrow&#8217; Andrea&#8217;s toy and learn the command word for it several chapters back in SOTM.\u00a0 All of that happened off-screen, and only the aftermath is in the published story.<\/p>\n<p>Stories about Andrea before she ended up at Zoraster&#8217;s complex.\u00a0 Because she was a virgin before meeting Danica, it limits the potential for stories I can post on Lit or SOL, but there are plenty of stories I could tell to highlight her life before the story.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve just had a lot of ideas kicking around that aren&#8217;t really right for publishing in my traditional venues, but which I believe regular readers of the stories in Danica&#8217;s world would very much enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to comment here, email, or post on the forum\u00a0if there&#8217;s a story you&#8217;d like to see told.\u00a0 Much of Blackhawk Hall and the whole of Ebon Genesis owes its origin to a reader&#8217;s suggestions.\u00a0 Many times, those are inspirational and really get me moving.\u00a0 At the same time, that inspiration gets other stories moving as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally getting the hang of one of the elements of the software suite that runs the forum and the website that I haven&#8217;t previously delved into.\u00a0 It&#8217;s going to prove extremely useful for the LST3K pages.\u00a0 What it will allow me to do is to accept uploads of documents even if the person donating a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":118,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,5,3],"tags":[12,17,20,21],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2015"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2015"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2015\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2016,"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2015\/revisions\/2016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/darkniciad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
