Bernadette Unchained, Chapter 1 [A+]
Where posted: ASSM
When posted: 2/9/00
Author: Aquillae
Author address: mailto:Aquillae@excite.com

Teenage Bernadette sneaks out of the plantation manse one night to admire the black, nude body of a slave named Ja'Har, who has been manacled in the barn for punishment. Her combined lust and skittishness, and Ja'Har's arousal, makes for arousing reading in itself:

Her heart began to beat faster. She swallowed hard. Her ears rung with the pulsating beat of her blood. Lightly she bit her lower lip as she tried to steal her nerves. After hesitating slightly she moved her right hand forward toward the thick shaft. Ja'Har glanced down to watch her hand's movements. She moved her hand underneath it. She swallowed hard again. Then, with her dark green eyes fixed on his great length, she placed her thin white fingers against the dark black flesh of his cock. The width of him kept her from wrapping her fingers completely around him. The heat and hardness of him took her by surprise. She squeezed him lightly but firmly causing Ja'Har to moan and roll his head back. The wetness at the slit increased. And soon a small droplet fell to the floor.

The rest of the encounter shows the same mixture of delicacy and animal heat. Afterwards, in teenage hopefulness Bernadette frees the slave from his chains so he can deflower her. But Ja'Har has other plans. He tricks her and strings her up instead, taking her virginity, and afterwards notes grimly:

[The] scene of her father finding his pride and joy chained and naked like one of his disobedient slaves with her virtue stolen...stolen by him, a man bought for a price. At price far less than the blood that now dripped to the ground from between her legs. He leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.

But the author plays yet another trick on us, as Ja'Har frees his victim to act as his guide to the plantation house, which he intends to raid for clothing and supplies for his escape. But both are betrayed and kidnapped by a third party, who I'll keep a surprise. It's only in this last section that I discovered the story was an SF one set on a colony planet, as prior to this it read like the pre-Civil War south.

Aside from that nit (if Ja'Har is an alien, he should be delineated as such much earlier in the story) I enjoyed the chapter a lot. A female-centered coming-of-age story, but a deeply sexual one.

Background to Story:
The driving force to write this story came about one summer day back in 1988.

Being the avid reader that I am, I went down to my local library to find something interesting to read during the long hot nights.  I found two books.  One was a James Bond type thriller titled 'Hopscotch' - a very good book that was later turned into a funny movie of the same name.  The second, was a romance novel written by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss titled 'Ashes in the Wind'.  While checking out the books, the librarian, an older lady, who's main goal in life was to include everyone into her own personal midlife crisis, questioned me in a nasal squawk, "You're taking out THIS book?"

This was my first post to ASS*.  After lurking for over a year, I felt I was ready to hit the big time and post something to the newsgroup.

The story, originally entitled 'Moonlight in the Barn', was my attempt to write a very graphic and erotic love scene between a slave and a young female.  The original ending for the short story left the two main characters, Bernadette and Ja'Har, in limbo as it were, because it ended when they were walking out of the barn.  I felt there was nothing wrong with the ending because I had only intended it to be a one shot love scene.

Several readers requested a more conclusive ending to the story.  So, I returned to the story, several months later and 'tacked' on an ending that would close up the story in one simple chapter.  The readers were, to say the least, not very receptive to the surprise ending of having the younger sister invalved in arranging for Bernadette and Ja'Har to be kidnapped by 'SPACE PIRATES'.

The twist of the younger sister was the readers felt they could live with, if it was explained in more detail, but the sudden appearance of space pirates, carrying laser guns and communicators, felt like a betrayal to the early development of the story which made the readers believe they were reading a historical romance set in the 1600's.

For over a year I tried to reconstruct the story into a sci-fi romance so that it would if in with the 'tacked' on ending to the story.   Every attempt was worse than the predecessor.  Finally, in 2001, I abandoned the story in frustration.

Over the past year I have received emails from readers asking if I was ever going to finish the story.

Reluctantly, I decided to reread the story once more to see if there was a chance of fixing the ungodly mess.

The biggest flaw in the story, now titled 'Bernadette Unchained' and several chapters long, was that I had tried a quick fix to the original ending, heard from the readers that it was at best disconjoining with the opening of the story, and had as a result, stubbornly tried to bash the story into some form that would fit the 'tacked' on ending to what had become the first chapter.

All this because I hadn't the stomach to cut away what the readers and my own inner self was trying to tell me about the story.

Well, I've done it.  Everything that was 'tacked' on and added afterwards has been stripped from the story.  The story, as it is posted now, is the simple love scene between two people, which ends with them walking out of the barn.  I have removed any hints or slights of reference that might be of a futuristic nature, and returned the story to the time period it should have remained in all along - the 1600's.

Is the story going to continue?

I don't know for certain.  But if it does, it will stay within the realm of the 1600's of the West Indies. (with maybe a side-excursion to the middle east)

Right now I am in the process of writing up a computer game for a friend based on the heyday of the Caribbean pirates.  Hopefully, this will help fuel the creative juices to perhaps continue the story, a little further.

About the Picture:
The picture shown above is a pastel and charcoal sketch that I drew back in the late 80's.   The sketch is of Marina Baker, a Playboy Centerfold from the 80's.  Ms. Baker, a writer herself, wrote to express an interest in the picture.  Unfortunately, the larger, finished picture of Ms. Baker, like most of my early work before 1996, was destroyed or damaged in a flood.  The only thing that remains of the Marina picture now is the simple sketch that I made before drawing the picture.

TABLE FOR ONE
Pissed at having been left off their list of the most influential people of the past millenium and not finding out about the party until the last second, a certain notable figure from the past makes his way into Dante's Tavern to join the party goers from ASSD at the first ever Winter Solstice Party.

Background to story:
Written for the Winter Solstice Party of 1999 held at ASSD. (What is/was a Solstice party?  The idea was to have a gathering place where the people of ASSD could meet, if only in the virtual world, and party it up big time.  For this they chose Dante's Tavern.   It was a free-for-all of wild antics as authors posted to threads and branched off or were pulled into other threads to do some unmentionable deeds, which were usually mentioned.)  The party started on the 22 of December 1999, the Winter Solstice.

The inspiration for this short story came from the continued posting at that time by members of ASSD of who they thought should be added or removed from the list A&E made of the supposedly 100 most influential people of the millenium.

Although the party was meant to be a continuing flow of interactions between authors, this story, which added some of the antics that were happening in other posts for the party, was meant to be read as a single post while I figured out a way to introduce my alter ego, Aquillae, who was going to show up at the end of the party.

Unfortunately, I got the flu, and spent the last two weeks of 1999 in bed.  So much for that wild celebration to ring in the new millenium.  No, wait, doesn't the new millenium start January 1, 2001?

(So I left the intro of Aquillae until the Summer Solstice.   There was going to be one, right guys?)

SUMMER SOLSTICE 2000
This story follows the paths that my main characters from Bernadette Unchained took to get to the Summer Solstice at Dante's Tavern.  It also introduces the fantasy character Aquillae to the group.

Background to Story:
Opps!  Did I do that?  Well, in a small way yes, I started the Summer Solstice 2000 party.  Although it wasn't my intention.

Around the middle of June, about a week before the Summer Solstice in RL, some newbies posted questions asking what the Solstice was.  They were told, and a few posts were made describing the after effects of the Winter party.  Katie McN, never one to miss the chance for a really good party, tried to get everyone to join up for the Summer version.  Most balked at the idea of going at it again.  Mainly because of the heat, the other projects, etc.

Into the fray steps our little hero, Aquillae. (Not to be confused with Aquillae, the one with the boobs and attitude) ((Read this story for an explanation of that last line)).

A little pissed at missing the Winter Solstice due to the flu, and the possibility that the Summer one was not going to happen, I decided to make a little post in fun.

The post had me driving up to Dante's Tavern with a case of beer and chips, and declaring that I was going to be the first one to get inside when the doors opened.

I meant that I was going to be the first one inside for the next Winter Solstice.   Everyone else took it to mean the Summer Solstice, and well, I direct you to the threads stored at google to find out what happened, and who did what to whom.

The end result was a fun time for all, the total trashing of Dante's, and ME getting stuck with the bar tab!

RACHEL'S DAY
The story follows the actions of teen wonder, Rachel, as she makes her way through the pitfalls of an average day in high school. 

Background to Story:
This is the first Write Club Duel I participated in.  It is also the first true teen story I wrote.  The response to this story, and the character of Rachel, has led me to write several 'High School' theme stories.  These newer stories will have more sexual action and focus on a variety of characters.

Testamalogical, Antidisestablishmentarianism & Other Silly Words
As filming is slatted to restart on the big budget production of 'Bernadette Unchained', the director, Aquillae, is busy flipping through an old dictionary from 1957 looking for obscure, pointless words to unleash on an unsuspecting future opponent in the write club duel's of ASSD.  Little does Aquillae realize that his giggles of vocabulary glee are overheard by the two young starlets of the production - Bernadette and Raquel.

Background to Story:
Believe it or not, but this story was written one week before my infamous write club duel with Nat, (Father Ignatius) or as some would call it  "The Write Club Schism".

The idea for this story came about during the fall of 2000, when everyone was still interested in competing in Write Club Duels.  Taking the WC format of having each writer submit three words that had to be used in the story, I took the idea to the next step by having my inept counterpart, Aquillae, plotting and scheming to use obscure and difficult words in his next challenge.

The words used in the title are, believe it or not, actual English words.  The use of the words in the title was inspired by the British TV Series, 'Yes, Prime Minister'.  The TV series excelled in the use of the English language as the driving force behind most of its comedy.

My apologies to any Peter Noon fans before they start reading this story.

Fundraiser Drive
Lights, camera, action!  Get a behind the scenes look at the taping of a commercial, promotional spot for ASSTR.

Background to Story:
The full title for this story is of course 'Second Server Challenge - The Fundraiser Drive'.

The Challenge was issued by Hecate as a way of celebrating the arrival of the second server for ASSTR.  As I recall, there were no real set guidelines to what must be included or may not be included in the story.  The idea was to get as may authors involved as possible.

This story, which of course was late, deals with a sort of telethon type fundraiser for ASSTR.  The idea was to show a behind the scenes look at the filming of a promotional segment for ASSTR.

At the time this story was written, the group was in an Australian frame of mind. (If there is such a thing) talking about Australian Football, not to be confused with Rugby,  and Foster's Beer, the official brew of Aussie land.

Karen's Diary
Fed up with the continued snooping into her private life by her little sister, Karen decides to play a prank on the little brat.  Unknown to Karen, however, she's not the only one set on playing pranks.

Background to Story:
This was my third attempt at a Write Club Duel.  My opponent was Katie McN, the Queen of Internet Erotica.

Not only was I facing the challenge of going up against Katie, but this would be the first time I would write a story dealing with blackmail and a lesbian character.

Although I consider this one of my weaker works, (I don't think I managed to explain the situations between the characters convincingly to the reader), it was the straw that convinced me to focus some of my writing efforts into the genre of the high school days.

A DAY @ ASSD
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday.  The regular crowd shuffles in.  Well...we were never really that 'regular' at ASSD, were we?  See just how irregular with this story.  And make sure to clap your hands and sing along when the big bunny comes hoppin down the trail with his special Easter chocolates.

Background of Story:
This is the story I wrote for the EASTER CHALLENGE that was proposed by Rui.  The story had to have an Easter theme and was due April 15, 2001, Easter.  Remarkably, I was able to get it posted to ASSM by the 12th of April.

The story itself was initially inspired by the song, 'Garden Party'.  (I hope that's the title.  I think it was sung by R. Nelson)

Although there is no sex in the story, Hecate does appear in a very sexy leather outfit.  And, if you look really close, you can perhaps see just a hint of skin among those strategically placed bubbles on Aquillae.  (If that is the sort of thing you're interested in seeing)

My main goal was to try and add as many ASSD personalities and as many subjects the group was currently discussing as possible into a coherent story, while still following the Easter theme.   Did I succeed?   I'll let you be the judge.

But of all the things I've written over the past ten years, both for the net and print, this one story was the most enjoyable one of all.

PS.  The little cartoon was drawn back in the early eighties during my high school years.  The question - "So when's Easter?" comes form the fact that Easter, unlike Christmas, is never a set date of the calendar year.

Background to Story:
How the heck did he come up with a title like that?  Well, the truth is, I didn't.   The title and the idea for the story came from an old high school friend named, Downey Flake.  (Yes, that was his nick-name.  And yes, he was proud of it.)  The title makes reference to my friend's explanation of my on-again-off-again association with society.  (Okay, so I've been known to drop off the radar screen for a few years here and there.  But never more then a decade, I swear!)

As my friend once explained to a college professor who asked where I was after missing several weeks of class.  Quote: "He fell through his bathroom mirror while shaving."

Needless to say the professor, who had no sense of humor,  was not amused.

As punishment for bringing a 'dirty' story into school and reading it during study hall, Sister Elizabeth had given Jimmy Bradshaw and his friends the choice of marching off to visit the school's head disciplinarian, Sister Adaley, or of finding and interviewing the person who had written the offensive story.

Jimmy and his friends chose to search out the writer.

A brief excerpt from the story:

“So, where the hell is this bitch?”

“It’s just a little past five,” Jimmy Bradshaw called back over his shoulder as he patiently watched the chat window that was open on his computer screen.  “Give her a few minutes.”

It was actually now eighteen minutes past five on a Thursday afternoon.  The gang, friends of Jimmy’s from before grade school, were hanging out in his bedroom playing video games and waiting for Miss. Kimberly KupKakes, the author of “Library Lesbians”, to enter the private chat room.  Miss. KupKakes had suggested the chat room, the day, and the time in her reply to Jimmy’s email requesting an interview for a school project.

Story Outline:
A high school English teacher gets a surprise when she reads the short stories she assigned her students to write for class.  One of the stories handed in is a racy, highly erotic tale of a young girl's first sexual experience with another girl.  The surprise is not the subject matter of the story, nor the writing skill displayed by the author.  The surprise is the person who handed the story in, 'claiming' it to be a work of his own creation when she knew positively that the story was in fact stolen from the internet.

A brief excerpt from the story:

Miss Sarah Robinson glanced up from her paper work and observed the fidgeting youth.  Inwardly she smiled to herself.  Never before had she seen ‘Mr. Cool’ rattled and jumping like a smalltime crook caught with his hands in the cookie jar.  Although she would have loved to prolong the torture, enabling her to exact some small revenge for Mr. Marcello’s disruptive behavior during her class, Sarah’s good nature stopped her.  Besides, she had other means to punish the young teen besides silence.

A shiver of excitement rushed through her young body.  Her nipples tightened and brushed against the lace fabric of her bra as she quickly went through the steps of her plan in her mind.  It was wicked.   Perhaps even grounds for dismissal should her student tell anyone about her little joke.  But she was certain, ‘Mr. Cool’, would appreciate the joke.

She glanced over at her prey, and when his dark eyes darted over to the clock, she quickly unbuttoned the top three buttons on her silk white blouse.
