Quite surreal! It's rather different. I shall never think of puppies the same way again.

Hopefully I haven't ruined puppies for you. But I was rather hoping that you could see the puppy in the boy.

Oh I can. But, if boys are puppies, what are girls?

I feel sure, Timmy, that if boys are slugs and snails and puppy dogs' tails then girls are sugar and spice and all things nice!
I curl up at the edges with embarrassment with the pink Barbiness of little girls' tastes when they are under the influence of advertisements, the telly and so on.
Being a boy I think the right attitude to all this stuff is to ignore it completely. Do the philosophy tomorrow (and the sex now!)
Love,
Anthony

Their mistresses and caretakers, of course and always to be obeyed without question. I know you read the story. ;-D ;-D ;-D

Unlike previous stories I posted that each got a flurry of emails over the first couple of days, I've only received one comment so far.
If you like it I'd love to hear from you. If you hate it I still want to hear from you.
Drop me an email e@iomfats.org or post in this thread.

Hi e (and for that matter, all the other authors)
probably not what you want to hear, but I very rarely read stories until they are complete, so it's gonna be a while before I comment or drop you a mail.
I know that this doesn't exactly encourage authors, and I'm sorry about that. Perhaps I'd better explain a bit. I mainly read when I'm going through an acutely depressed patch (so, twelve or fifteen hours a day, for four or five days, every three or four months). And because of the state I'm in, I don't want to be left with a bunch of unresolved tensions in my head - which doesn't mean that I only like "happy endings", but that I do like endings that "work", or at least exist. That's why I so rarely read works in progress.
I'm sure I'll comment in due course.

I don't know what it is at the moment, but I received absolutely no reaction to my last story. Perhaps it's just that too much is available. I join NW in waiting until a story is complete before reading it; also I copy and paste it rather than read it str8 off the site.
I suppose we authors do write for ourselves, but not exclusively so. If I have something inside me, it's got to get out. The muse is resting at the moment.

I've read it very quickly. I really wanted to leave it until there was more. I get impatient waiting for authors to finish things and sometimes they don't and sometimes it takes years.
So I scanned it quickly and it is quite unique and rather strange. And it's captivating. I read the first chapter and only today noticed the second is up.
But I'm not into SM or the master-slave stuff. I was quite upset by the Jack Rowan "story of Tim". And I suspect that getting one's balls bruised enough to go purple is MUCH worse than getting a purple bruise on a leg.
So, you understand I'm not really writing about the story. I'm writing about my prejudices.
I suspend judgement but it is captivating and I'll go on reading so long as it doesn't get nasty!
Love,
Anthony

I understand your concerns and certainly the story isn't for everybody. That's one of the reasons I wondered whether anyone was reading it. When I read it the Rowan story it bothered me as well and I couldn't finish. So I certainly understand why someone might not want to read this.
But the story isn't about S&M or master/slave stuff, though that is a part of the story. Though I suppose there are those who will be turned on by it, that isn't the intended purpose though it is meant to be shocking. Mostly that stuff sets the stage and reveals the world that my little puppy has to live in. The plot doesn't actually kick in until about chapter 5 or so. The gay romance begins in chapter 4. So if you bear with the first few chapters, you might begin to like it later on as it evolves when the emphasis is more on plot than background and character development. I will warn you, though that chapter 3 contains a passage where Carlos discusses the worst thing that a puppy must endure and it is quite horrible and he is quite visibly distressed just talking about it. After that passage there is some reference to his being spanked for misbehaving, but I don't plan on any further graphic descriptions of events of that nature.

I understand that all too well. While I tend to start reading works in progress, nothing is more irritating than spending several hours reading a story that ends up being abandoned by the author.

Thanks timmy. The stats are nice to know. You probably couldn't put them on the page though without going to too much trouble. But at least now I know people are having a look and that's all I really wanted to know.
I realize that people are probably scratching their heads wondering what the heck it's all about, but I didn't want to simply begin with a long, boring monologue explaining the setting. Instead I opted to let the characters do that over the course of the first few chapters. Hopefully people will hang on long enough to gain an understanding.
Yes, I do write for me. I find it quite therapuetic. I would probably write this even if I had nowhere to post it and no one to show it to. But if I'm going to put in the effort to write it, then it's nice to know someone is reading it.

I tend to read even if I know the story is incomplete as long as there's hope it will be finished sooner or later. But I don't read much when I'm writing so it may be a while before I get around to reading anything.

... but like others commenting here, this more a product of my wanting to wait until the entire story has been posted, than a fear I might not like the materiél in of itself.
Too, I should add that I have received your e-Mail and will respond forthwith; e-Mail not being a big priority with me, I sometimes go weeks without checking my inbox, a consequence being that I oftentimes have a large backlog to deal with if and when I do.

Not a problem, Warren. Answer when you get time. I know you've been a bit preoccupied lately. Nice to know you got it, though, because some of the ones I sent at that time didn't get received.

I'm told this part is just the intro! I'm one chapter ahead, and I can tell you that I have no idea where he's going with this! I have half a feeling it might turn into a thriller!
