With the sun outside beating down some heavy ultra violet rays, I’m going to park myself inside and try to finish my goal for today. What is my goal? To finish that story that I was telling you about earlier in the week. It needs quite a workover but I am determined to get it done so that I can post it tomorrow.

The story does bring up a bit of fear for me though. It is a sort of repetitiveness that I try ever so hard to avoid. Clearly there is a style of spanking story that I like to write and there is nothing wrong with that. Heck I dare say that the people who enjoy reading my stories do so because of that style in the first place. I don’t want to pigeonhole myself though and get stuck in a rut telling only one type of story.

There is a story website out there where my own spanking snobbery is in full effect. There is one writer in particular who frequently writes stories, and I’m the dick that sits there saying “Oh look, the exact same story for the 75th time in a row”. There is no variation whatsoever other than the reason for the spanking, but the actual format of the spanking is exactly the same each and every time, it doesn’t change at all. Now like I said, I understand the whole idea that if people like your style of writing, then why would you stop giving them what they enjoy? But as an outside observer I would expect some variations when it came to the spanking. Not every spanking has to be naked, witnesses called in and take place in the kitchen every time, lol.

I definitely have my favorite authors out there which I read on The Library of Spanking Fiction. The style and concepts definitely play a part, but each story is different and dare I say sometimes challenging. I enjoy a clever plot, I enjoy reading about spankings as opposed to beatings, and these authors vary up the characters and the plotlines and the scenarios.

In fact here is a funny story. I was reading a story this week by an author who I enjoy, though not necessarily one of my favorite authors, but certainly someone whose work I would check out if something new was released. I’m reading the story and the plotline was awesome, a woman being spanked by someone in a full costume, but the trick to the story was that the person in the costume was not who she thought it was. Great story, really fun to read and told from the spanker’s point of view, and then out of nowhere the spanker decides to put his hands between her legs and fondle her. It ruined the story for me on the spot!! I’m enjoying a great spanking story and all of a sudden the guy sexually assaults the women in a non consensual manner. Man that annoyed the piss out of me, lol.

Anyway, I have some writing to do, wish me luck, I hope to have a new story posted tomorrow.

The following image will be added to my MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS folder.

By the way, I want to finish up today with a vanilla video. Quite honestly this performance blows me away. There are two songs, the first of which is an instrumental that combines rock instruments and traditional Japanese musical instruments, and the second song is more heavily influenced by traditional Japanese instruments, though the Western instruments still feature. Now this is what I love about the video, when I first heard this singer perform I was like “What’s wrong with her voice”?

I soon learned that it is deliberate, the singer is singing in a style known as Shigin and she is known for performing that style of verse at a master level. Also worth noting, there are a lot of ‘Youtuber reaction’ videos for this performance. In the first song virtually all of them get blown away when the young lady performing on the Shamisen first appears, and I have to admit, it really is a super cool moment. Also, 50% of the viewers comment on the bass player as if they are referring to a female performer. In fact there is one video where a Youtuber posts a follow up video apologizing for referring to him as a woman, but then says that it’s all good, you’re still a beautiful looking person. The bass player, Asa, frequently performs on stage wearing a dress as a part of a larger, more elaborate costume. Check it out, this is one of the most awesome intros to a show that I have ever seen. Unfortunately the music company will not allow video embedding, strange really because it is the same music company that my favorite Japanese band, BiSH, belong to, and I embed their videos all the time, lol. But anyway, if you want to check out this awesome video by The Wagakki Band you can DO SO HERE.
