An introduction to The Naughty Story Book

I once promised myself I would never be the one to publish something where I could not hit 'complete' right away.

Well… this is the one and only 'story' where I will leave 'in progress' in place for years to come.

I am writing stories, heck, you could say I am writing too many stories. I find myself starting a new one before I can finish the previous project and that just frustrates me to no end. It is also demoralising as I wouldn't start a story if I didn't love the idea I have in mind for it.

So I came up with a double project. Stella needs some positive distractions and I needed to finally complete a story. Thus the idea of me sending her multiple choice options and using her selection as prompts to write a short story. Okay, I started off with a thirty minute time frame but ended up taking a rather long lunch break (that was actually a working lunch) halfway through. For the next one I told her I would send it to her by evening. Then, for the one that followed this, I told her I would send it to her 'sometime tomorrow'. I went from 3000 words to 7000 words in those three days. The curse of my writing – I always want to add some more, elaborate more, be more explicit or feel things are too convoluted and need some clarity which means splitting things and making the story longer.

So, with all those 'short stories' that are on the raunchy side of things I suddenly felt that they should deserve to see the light of day.

Be warned, these stories are not the usual 'fall in love, have sex, all good' stories. Whoever decides to read them needs to be aware that there are things like 'student/teacher' relationships, not my usual Eris, kinks, BDSM elements and I even went as far as trying my hand on 'knotting' which means we are knee deep in AU and walking the crossover border. These stories are not as rounded out as my usual work, the challenge of keeping it short prohibits this and I am basically giving you part of a story that I could decide to extend any given time.

Stella wouldn't be Stella if she didn't persistently choose 'villain' over 'lover' and 'star crossed lovers' over 'soulmates'. I don't know why I still gave her that option by round three. Let's just say all my stories have a happy ending!

Here is an example of how I used her choices of 'blue', 'villain', 'Tris/Eric', '16, 18, 24, 28', 'student' and 'teacher'

This is copied from the actual email I sent her after she made her selection.

…

Tell me a story!

Eric is Erudite, 24 and a teacher. He plans and successfully seduces 16 year old Tris, his student. Eric is the villain with nefarious intentions but you can make him redeem himself if you want to. It is up to you which faction you give Tris.

Ready? I'll send you mine when the time is up. Send me yours, even if it is more cliff notes than anything else.

Go!

…

Oh yeah, I made her write too and I hope she is going to post some of hers.

Hope you enjoy them,

Michaela

PS: if anyone wants to join Stella and select the prompts for a new chapter from a list of choices, send me a PM.

I decided I didn't want to be kicked off fanfiction . net so I am posting these stories on AO3 only. It's the same username, if you are interested…
