Hi friends, Brother Sammy here,

If you're reading this, first of all the porn is in the other thread. You obviously misclicked. Its ok, your hands are..... ugh... preoccupied.

If for some reason you're STILL reading this, I just wanted to jot down some notes on this dumb little project I've wandered into, mostly for me to refer back to as I write, but if it interests you to know where the story is going or you'd like to submit a chapter for approval, you may find value here too.

Here's what I know right now. I'll come back to edit this as the story evolves.

• The pleasure dome consists of 6 levels
• Levels 1-5 involve 3 choices: Go find an increasing number of keys (risking lewd experiences), perform a lewd act on the spot to skip the hunt, or put on a **** collar, and submit to sexual slavery.
• Level 6 will serve as a climax (heh) level, where Nicole will have one more opportunity to submit to servitude or escape, with each choice leading to a different ending depending on her decisions throughout the story.
• I have already written: A "trunk" branch consisting of the 6 levels and their bypass conditions, and one corresponding set of endings. I have also written out the first three levels in depth (some cleanup work to be done, but its done)
• Three rooms of level 4 are essentially done, just a bit of denouement to write. I'm currently working on room 4, and have an idea for the first room of the next level.
• For artistic reasons, I want levels 4 and 5 to have 4 and 5 key rooms, respectfully, but that may not realistically be within my creative abilities, so we'll see.
• I want the sex and the slow build to be the kings here. BDSM themes are more than ok, but nothing too elaborate or ****, I don't think. My feeling is it will be too much of a jump to believe Nicole could do it. (TheArchitect has a great story with heavier bondage (The White Mall) if that's what youre looking for, and I'm sure there are others)
• I will write any collar chapters last. I put one in as a "I've been reading stories for 3 hours I just want to fap" branch, but they're the least exciting to me
• There's a bunch of convention work to be done. Branches can be trimmed, and I think my sex scenes need some work (kinda like my sex life), but my focus right now is on putting the ideas to paper to edit later.
• I've started to link relevant branches together. If I've done it right, you won't notice, but it's new to me, so if something seems broken or out of place, let me know.
• I'd also like there to be multiple outcomes in each room, and I think the solution as the story stands right now will be that each room will have a different experience based on Nicole's previous experiences in that thread. Her previous experiences may also trigger early "bad" ends or unique progression options.( I've got a few in the pipe.) I don't want to expand the branches much further, the story is already a behemoth. But if I have a good idea, I'll add it in.
• I'm checking notifications most days, and have a couple ideas for new stories I'm workshopping (we'll see).
• I'm definitely moving slower now. I don't want to put something half baked in, looking at some of my old chapters this is definitely the case with a few of them. Chapters also take me up to an hour to write and that adds up quickly to a lot of time to be writing porn, so slow and steady is going to be the pace for now.

Any constructive feedback or suggestions are welcome, even if they don't find their way into the story. I read it all

And if you've read this far, thanks for taking such an interest in my work. I never thought I would publish anything written, I certainly never thought it would be smut, and I DEFINITELY didn't think anyone would take an interest in it. So thank you,

Now go read the actual porn, Jesus. You're that person who does the stupid "collect 10000 green rocks " achievement in video games, aren't you? I ain't got nothing for ya, shoo.
