I hope you’re all faring well! I’m… somewhat in recovery at the moment, all truth told! It turns out writing 200,000 words or more in a month? Can be very taxing if you achieve it be writing day and night, day and night, taking at most one or two days off at a time.
I’m recovering well, but it does mean that I’ve had to set this week aside and try to focus on recuperation. A shame, but this is a week I imagine many of you have been waiting for a while!
Annoyingly Amazon is taking its sweet time publishing the paperback, but if you want the ebook for The Argent Road compilation including Wherever I May Roam, Dust High, Misted Facets, Nocturnal Interlude, and Informant?
It’s available now!
The Argent Road available now!
You can find it on Amazon now, and get access to all five tales in one compiled piece of prose! And a version of the cover with no one in silhouette!
Hopefully the paperback will be up in a day or so. It says 72 hours, but it’s never been that bad. The time I trust it for a paperback, sigh!
Soon, The Argentum Project will begin releasing! I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to rerelease that saga. It’s such a big project in terms of its scope, the way it builds from these tales I once called “lead-ins”…
More plot heavy, The Argentum Project doesn’t sacrifice anything on the character front to bring a compelling plot to life. New characters, returning faces… this story has a lot going for it, and I think you’ll all find something to like as the story continues, and Sarah faces new challenges.
For now, that’s me! Next week will likely be a week filled with story recommendations and other things like that, and then the week to follow? We take a turn off of the Argent Road, and proceed onward, to The Argentum Project.
Until then, take care of yourselves, and each other!
I hope that you’ve all had an absolutely wonderful week! Mine’s had some bumps, but it sure is hard to feel too poorly when your air goes from toxic, to clean! As someone with asthma, air quality is a very real concern. Thankfully, that’s not an issue for the moment! We should probably do a bit more about that long term, but that’s not why you’re all here! š
My first big topic of the week is that I plan on slowly putting my Amazon releases up on Smashwords. KU has been less than profitable for me lately, and I really haven’t enjoyed the exclusivity from the start. As a result, every time I release a new story from now on, not only will it be up on Smash as well, but I’ll also be trying to throw up a few of my earlier releases!
KU terms are for 90 days, so unfortunately some of my stories renewed before this could be changed. Sorry to say there. However, I still fully intend on doing my best to make sure that, going forward, dual releases are maintained and my back library is more widely available. It’s also been brought to my attention that some sell erotic fiction on itch.io so I’m tempted to triple post, but that may be a bit much and I’m not sure the value. Let me know if there’s a place you wish you could buy my stories that allows direct submissions! iBooks, iirc, will not be too happy to accept most of my work…
Unfortunately, this will mean next week doesn’t have a Smashwords release, as it’s going to be The Argent Road, the complete compendium of the stories of The Argent Road that lead up to The Argentum Project.
These stories are Wherever I May Roam, Dust High, Misted Facets, Nocturnal Interlude, and Informant. There’s also going to be a paperback! Look forward to all of that hopefully going off without a hitch next week. I’m definitely eager to get my copy on a shelf! I quite respect/understand if you’re more concerned with a digital version. That tends to be how I read most of my smut, too.
So that’s what’s up next for Amazon: a compilation! I know, that’s not very exciting… but what’s going to come after that? That’s a fair bit exciting!
The Argent Road – coming soon!
Sadly, some of those stories are still in Kindle Unlimited, and it was either not release the compilation in both places at the same time, or expect everyone to grab up all of the individual pieces before the next big story starts to flow. Hopefully I’ve made the right decision. Let me know if you disagree! I’m certainly happy to hear feedback.
I’ve been doing my best to work up a buffer, because my next story release is going to be a rather big deal… for me, anyway!
The Argentum Project!
This story was originally 100k, the longest of the original series! However… I kinda found that it wasn’t really living up to its potential. Most of the series has become a fair bit longer as a result of this, but when you take a 100k story, and extend sequences, really let them flow and linger and be the hottest they can be, well…
You end up with a story that at the moment is about 245k. That’s 245,000 words!
I’ve done my best to make this story the hottest thing I’ve ever written, and I think it does a great job of achieving that goal. Lots of twisted fetishy heat. Lots of deep character moments. There’s a lot of varied forms of control, and one of the biggest casts the series ever gets! Some old enemies, and new friends…
For the first time, I’d like to show it off to all of you–the cover of The Argentum Project!
The Argentum Project – Coming Soon!
As you might imagine, 245k is… a lot of words! The original story took me a long time to write at 100k, and this one took a very large chunk of the year to get this far. Editing is on going, but…
I’m going to try something a little different with this release! We’re going back to Silver Girl’s serial roots!
No section will be released that isn’t a complete experience, while still being a part of the greater whole. When it’s finished the story will be compiled, as I plan on continuing to do with my stories once they get long enough.
Additionally, there won’t be weeks between the release! It’s going to be week, after week, after week, until the series is complete! What I’ll do right after is still up in the air. I have a few plans in mind. However, a week after The Argent Road’s compilation releases… TAP will begin to release, too, simultaneously on Smash and Amazon!
I hope you’re all looking forward to it! I know I am!
That’s been taking up a LOT of my mental focus as of late… but don’t worry, I’m planning to keep right on going! My hope is that I can release the rest of the original series of Silver Girl, rewritten to perfection, without pause! The world is in a chaotic place at the moment, but hopefully you’ll be able to rely on my smut for some fun distractions.
Until next time, take care of yourselves… and each other!
I’m sorry to disappoint, but this week my blog entry will be exceedingly short. Thanks to the smoke that’s been wrecking everything in Portland, life has been exceptionally unpleasant. It doesn’t help that I have asthma, as well as other issues that exacerbate the effects of this smoke.
Next week I hope things will be back to normal.
For now, please support my latest release, on Amazon and on Smashwords!
Pocket Watches and Glazed Eyes: Twenty Tales of Erotic Mind Control Volume 7
Pocket Watches and Glazed Eyes: Twenty Tales of Erotic Mind Control Volume 7
I hope that today finds you well. I’m currently in a somewhat… precarious situation at the moment. If things get a little bit worse then there is a very real chance I could be forced to evacuate. I live in Oregon and well…
There are a lot of fires everywhere, the air is basically smoke, and my windows all are glowing a bright and vibrant yellow!
I have no way of knowing what will be coming next, but I’ll be doing my best to not let it affect me any more than it needs to. If it does, I should still be able to blog on the go, though productivity may be… thoroughly affected.
That said, I want to provide some positivity here if I can, so my first topic today? Stories you should read, and can read, right now!
It Rings for Thee by Doctor D. is a story I’ve recommended to anyone who cares to listen, and it’s so close to its conclusion! Even still, we’re getting more lore, more hot twisted flavors of fun… A story of corruption, and twisted wrongness, if you aren’t reading this story you’re doing yourself a disservice!
Saturday Morning Cartoon by Doctor D. is another delightfully twisted story from the brilliant genius who brought you It Rings for Thee! This time the world is post-magical girl, or post-apoc magical girl? I Recommend this one as much for the fun take on the genre as the sexy prose and the fun situations. This one is just starting, so get in on it now!
Tasmania by PlanetSurf is a story I loved from the start, and now that it’s found its stride I love it even more. It had a lot to set up so this newly released second installment could be so sexy… and it is! It is a delight. The darker directions it aims towards are so fun, too! I can’t wait to see what happens next, and I think you’ll be as hooked if you give it a glance.
Trigger-Happy Girl Hunt by Modren is in some ways the polar opposite of the previously recommended stories. It’s a lot more care-free, a lot sillier… but it’s in a fun way! And frankly, if you think about it beyond how it’s framed, it’s still dark in fun ways… but it’s FUN and goofy and you should be able to enjoy this even if you’re in the mood for lighter fare than I am as of late!
Bourgeoisie Corruption by Skaetlett is similarly dark, but fun in a different sort of way. Written by someone who understands the socioeconomic stratification we’re dealing with right now, this story is about a punk being turned bougie… but it’s not offensive like that might sound. It’s sexy, and twisted, but it’s hot and really shows an understanding of WHY it’s hot. Read this story!
That’s all for my recommendations, I think!
I’ve been revising stories from 2007 as of late, and it’s been a trip to look back and see how the world has changed. Cellphones were already growing in popularity back then, but they were still a sort of bonus as opposed to a necessity. Smart phones weren’t a thing at all–not like they are now at any rate!
If you wanted to search something on the go, you called someone in front of a computer. If you didn’t have a cell phone you sought out a payphone, and now-a-days most of those are just hollow shells! Wireless phones are still a thing, but they used to be neat with the assumption that by default, phones were wired. You’d sometimes get someone else’s conversation cutting in, and it was a bit of a trip.
Why do I bring these up? Well, these could all very much play a role in how the stories we tell and enjoy are written. Like horror movies, cell phones let you call for help. Batteries can run out, signals can drop, but they’re a constant element now and that can stretch believably if it happens too often without a character’s traits suiting this kind of mistake. Heck, pay phones as a mind control device was I believe an underdog episode? Not a cartoon I saw much. You’re unlikely to accidentally get someone else’s hypnotic call cutting into yours…
In a modern story, anyway.
As I update the Silver Girl series, various anachronisms have been left intact. There’s a VCR in a fancy hotel. Sarah gets her first cellphone, as an adult, during the series. At that point she’s nearly twenty five years old.
It’s a fun thing to stop and consider how stories would be different twenty years ago, ten years ago…
Writing 90’s mind control period pieces should not appeal to me.
I hope that this week finds you well! I have a new story out this week, and it’s one that I’m very proud of, and today I’ll be talking a little bit about the cover in greater depth for some fun. Before we get started with the discussions of the cover itself though? I should probably put that cover here, along with links to where you can find it on both Amazon and Smashwords!
Traditions by M. Kistulot
This story is a fun one! Betrayal. Family traditions. Sexy women controlling other women and sexy women being controlled… It’s good stuff, if I do say so myself. I recommend picking up a copy today, but I might be a tiny bit biased.
Traditions is available now on both Amazon and Smashwords! Pick up a copy today, leave a review, a rating, whatever you’d like! I’m not sure how much it affects sales, but it’s on Goodreads if you want to go there, too!
So, with all of that business out of the way, let’s move on to talking about the cover, mm?
At its core, it isn’t a very complicated idea. It’s just a blonde woman with whited-out eyes, some very lovely painted lips, and some words. Anyone who is familiar with the erotic mind control community knows what blanked out eyes mean, and who doesn’t like a nice pair of lips?
By the way, the idea for how I put borders/colored transparent bits under some of the text on my covers? Owed 110% to covers I saw made/used by the brilliant a. regina cantatis, one of my earliest inspirations in fetish writing. If you haven’t read her Tenpack of Trixies or Willing Subject… you are missing out. All of them are good, but that’s where I recommend starting. Anyway, I owe her a lot, and you should buy her books, review them, comment on her blog… etc! Just be respectful that she’s been a bit busy with life to give us more smut. She deserves our understanding!
Whited out eyes is something I’ve found oddly erotic for a very long time. At this point, it’s basically for as long as I can remember? But I really got into it all over again when I found the yahoo groups that would become the Hypnopics Collective way back in the day. They’re all gone now, or they will be when Yahoo remembers how to actually delete them (I swear, Yahoo is just mess after mess after mess…) but for a long time they were the big way to share content online!
A lot of people would make tutorials, showing how to make a beam shoot out from off screen, or some object, and how to make the lighting look good, how to change this or that… and these days, I wish I’d kept a lot more of that. Those tutorials are basically how I learned to use photoshop. I was… bad. Terrible. I still feel my photoshop skills pale in comparison to say… Callidus? But I guess I also don’t have nearly the same level of experience.
So while making covers is a relatively new thing for me (at least covers like this! I actually used to make movie posters and book covers but they were both done with assets I didn’t have the rights to use, and with far fewer concerns than ‘that looks neat!’) theidea of manipulating photos and other art assets to make something sexy and fun? Something I’ve been toying around with for a very long time. That tradition of editing pictures to make something innocent into mind control, or to make something smutty into something kinky, is basically responsible for all of the art I twist today into something for promotion, or for fun!
Things have really changed a lot online, and a lot of us who have been using it since the Netscape Navigator and ICQ days can be a little bit obnoxious about just whinging for the past to return. While I miss things like Livejournal, I think that what we have now, for the most part, is actually pretty great! I wouldn’t want to be stuck back there, or to go back there… but some traditions, like manipulating photos to make them so much sexier in very specific ways?
A lot of fun.
If you’d like to talk with other fans of my writing more about Traditions, my work, or anything similar, join us over on the Madam Kistulot’s Domain Discord!
If you’d like to chat more generally with other kinky fetishists in a non playspace that is there just to discuss and explore mind control in all of its literary forms (games, movies, books, more!) then you can join the Mind Control Literature discord, right over here!
I hope things are going relatively well for all of you. I know I say that every week, but it’s very genuine. If you’re here that means you’re taking the time to care about what I have to say, and isn’t that enough reason to want all of you to be doing the absolutely best that you can?
This week has been a bit of a rest for me after pushing myself for broke and writing for two weeks straight. That basically means nothing else getting more than an hour or two of my time, and putting down at least 5-10k words a day for that while time. It means that the next major Silver Girl release is now in the hands of my editrix, and should be arriving fairly soon~
That isn’t what’s due out next week, of course. That’ll be a lovely new story called “Traditions” that I’m looking forward to sharing with all of you very soon! I think you’ll all rather enjoy it.
Traditions – Coming Tuesday September 1st!
In case any of you aren’t aware, I’ve also been making weekly blog posts, and releasing stories over on my Patreon which you can check out here if you’d like! I also have a new discord server exclusively for fans of my writing, Madam Kistulot’s Domain. I’m still running Mind Control Literature, but since the goal of that space is to not just be my space but be open for everyone, I don’t want to make it too much about my specific writing.
I’ve been working on other little things too, but as you can imagine most of my work for a bit has been on the next major Silver Girl release… The Argentum Project. It’s a story I haven’t gone back to as much, but it’s a real fun one! There were some issues that needed to be ironed out, but also I have a fun little thing to let you all know!
I really want these Silver Girl rewrites to feel the most full they can, to be the most intense, the most detailed, the most sexy, the most… everything. I want these to be the definitive versions of the stories. As a result, when a scene previously faded to black before something sexy, a lot of those sequences? Expanded upon. Obviously this doesn’t always mean back-to-back sexy times. The scenes all still need to have purpose without disrupting the flow of the story, and I think they do that quite nicely.
Just now, instead of knowing more sexy things happened, you can actually read it. Really should have had that policy earlier in my writing, IMHO. It’s making it feel a lot more fleshed out, no pun on ‘flesh’ intended… but I’m not deleting it.
A lot of these posts lately have included story recommendations, and I think I’ll make a few of some older stories that may have slipped through the cracks.
Have you ever read my Application of Control series? It was sort of my take on the Master PC phenomenon but updated for a world based on portable tech.
I hope this week finds all of you well. The world is still a scary, chaotic place for a lot of us right now. I can’t fix it, or do much more than take your mind off of it for a time, but I do genuinely hope if you’re reading this that you’re at least mostly happy.
If I do my job right? Maybe this post makes you a little happier! That’s the hope.
So, to get started? If you missed it, I have a new story out on Amazon… AND on Smashwords! Previously Smashwords sales didn’t really warrant the extra effort and I was doubling-down on Kindle Unlimited. At this time, only long stories feel like they make that pay off. So, for the time being? Silver Girl will remain in KU, but everything else will be dual-posted!
Quarry, a tale of mind control and monsters…
You might be able to guess what long running property inspired the setting for this one. You might not. It’s not fan fiction, but my own take on the idea anyway. Original character and all that. If you’d like to grab up this story, here’s the links for Smashwords, and for Amazon! I recommend it, but of course I would, right?
But Quarry isn’t the only thing that I have for you this week! Over on the Mind Control Literature discord (Join us! Join us!) I’ve been reviewing the weekly updates over on MCStories. I’ve been a bit slow to get around to the offerings from this Sunday, but I’ve been very busy rewriting the next Silver Girl novel. However… On this blog, I never got around to the week before, and it was a heck of an update for fans of lesbian mind control!
Recently the FF genre has been getting a lot of new writers, and that’s been great for us! While I recommend you check it out for yourself, I have some highlights.
Human Error by MoldedMind is a very fun “prisoner is a skilled mind controller’ story that even if you know where it’s going, you love the ride and savor the build-up. The prose here is absolutely delicious, and I don’t think you can go wrong with this at all. Highly recommended.
New Neighbor has two more chapters I haven’t read yet, but isadorable is really proving themselves to be a adept weaver of sexy prose. The fun ‘move into a new place, get mind controlled’ story is really on beautiful display here. I can’t wait to see where it goes. Read this!
Tasmania by PlanetSurf isn’t their first story on the archive, but it is their first pink story on the archive, and it is glorious. With fun nods to Tabico, this clearly long-time-reader is doing an amazing job with what I hope is just the start of a much longer piece. Truly some sexy science fiction mind control here!
Trigger-Happy Girl Hunt by Modren is one of those stories with such a goofy premise that leans into it so hard that you can’t help but love it. It has the vibes of a Sammynona story in that way, come to think of it! Highly recommended if you want some giggling with your porn. Who doesn’t, right? There’s no way you read this much of my porn without enjoying a laugh now and then.
Worry Stone by Carey Alphaville is another first time release, and I couldn’t be happier. The way it cuts in snippets of something you wont understand until later (by design) is absolutely lovely. The sexy slow-build of a large conspiracy being revealed is done so sexy here, and it really deserves the sf tag. Read this story!
Finally, City of Breasts by Autumn Oldaker is another story by a new writer that I’m looking forward to seeing more in the future. Her prose needs a little bit of polish, but if you want something fun, silly, and sexy, and don’t mind it being fairly rough it’s hardly a bad read.
That’s all for me–or it would be, but…
I’d opened up a special discord just for fans of my writing, but I decided that it didn’t really make very much sense to limit that to my Patreon? I think you’d get more out of it if you joined up but I don’t particularly want to use the Patreon bot to segment my audience, so…
If you’d like to join my Discord to get announcements as stories are released, to chat with me more easily, etc?
Silver Girl is receiving a LOT of my focus this week. I’ve been burning the midnight oil, staying up writing until well past 2am some nights. It reminds me of back in 2007 when I was first writing these stories.
Did you know Silver Girl turns 15 in November? She was 23 when she debuted, so now she’d be 38! Isn’t that somethin’? I’ll need to do something special for the 15th anniversary…
Until next week? Take care of yourselves, and each other.
I know that things are still precarious for a lot of us. Between our governments actively refusing to cease state-sponsored violence and repression, and the virus that rages on… things aren’t anywhere near where we need them to be. I hope you personally are doing okay, and that neither you or any loved ones are dealing too personally with any of these issues.
Myself? I’m healing. I had a follow-up with my dentist earlier this week and while healing feels to me like it’s taking too long? I’ve been assured by a professional that I look great. That’s done wonders for my morale, even if I’m wanting things to hurry up and be over as far as healing goes.
Still, this is very good news. It means there’s fewer things between you and new writing from me being consistent! Woo! š
This week was another bye-week, but might I recommend an oldie-but-goodie from my back catalogue?
Coiled, available on both Amazon and Smashwords!
Coiled is an older one of my published works, but it’s one that performed very well. It’s about an adventurer named Alannah and her exploration of a special ziggurat… and the snake-like creature she finds within.
Why do I bring that story up now? Oh, no reason.
Definitely not because of it being a more fantasy-themed story and that being similar, if not identical, to what you can expect from me next week~
But you should check it out if you haven’t–Coiled can be found on both Amazon and Smashwords!
That said, I am still hard at work on new stories! In a bit I’ll be putting the polish on a story to come out in another couple weeks, but we have a shorts compilation after that, and after that? A surprise!
One of my back burnered projects may get a bit more time on that part of the stove as I work to get out more Silver Girl quicker. The next major novel will be released serially as it was originally–but not in the same chunks as before. Each chunk will be a satisfying read in its own right, and with how much each chapter has expanded, well… let’s just say it is shaping up to be one thick paperback!
So that’s all for me for now! What more is on the horizon? Well… Tune in next week to find out!
If you want more fiction from me, $10/mo will help get you new stories at least a week before they hit MCStories, which I have begun to post to again. You can find those details over on my patreon!
For now? Please, please, please, take care of yourselves… and each other š
Finally, I’ve been able to (mostly) recover from my dental surgery–at least enough to be able to get down a lot of fun new words. A lot of my work this week has been on commissions that are likely to end up on the EMCSA, but in the meantime I did release a new story this week. Have you given it a look yet?
Too Much Of A Good Thing: The Exploits of a Lesbian Mind Controller
This story hit a bit earlier than expected due to Amazon’s unpredictability going quicker which is usually not the way things go! Regardless, if you’re in the mood for a sexy story about a twisted lesbian mind controller who has a bit of a quantity problem? I encourage checking it out. It’s got a fun sense of humor, and a fun resolution to our villainous protagonist’s problem!
I’m gearing up to start releasing some of my other projects I’ve had back burnered for a bit, and I think you’ll really enjoy them. There’s going to be some experimentation with serial releases soon, but each piece will be a satisfying chunk of erotic mind control sure to leave you hungry for more!
If you aren’t aware, I’ve also begun to post to MC Stories again and relaunched by Patreon. You can find my MC Stories work here, and my Patreon is here! Supporting these releases gets more free MC Erotica for everyone!
I hope you’re all drinking lots of water, staying inside when you can, and when you can’t, wearing a mask. A lot of places might be cancelling Halloween in advance, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep the spirit alive by wearing a mask!
It’s been a very eventful week for me. Hopefully if it has for you it’s only been eventful in positive ways. Recovering from dental surgery has been a far more arduous task than I originally envisioned, but for the most part everything’s just been up and up and up. I’d probably be more positive about my current state if I still had some Percocet lying around, but I’m making due without it more-or-less.
That said, I did finally get around to reading a story I should have read *years* ago… because it was released in 2014 by one of my favorite writers in the MC genre. Plus the title could be said to shamelessly pandering at me.
And that’sĀ before a character has the nickname of “MK”.
What story do I mean? Why of course naturally I mean A. Regina Cantatis’s (known to you familiar with the MCStories Archive as thrall) Union, Reunion: A Tale of Mind-Controlled MILFs
Union, Reunion, A Tale of Mind Controlled Milfs
As I said, this is a story I should have looked at sooner because it is incredibly delicious, and hits on so many of the reasons why Ms. Cantatis is known for writing such hot lesbian fetish smut.
It’s got all of the best stuff she’s known for. Sexy mind control? Check. Transformation? Check. A character who kinda wants it but is also at least vaguely sensible but not enough to escape? Check check check. Also a character that shares a nickname with me who is DOWNRIGHT ADORABLE.
If you enjoy mind control, it’s literally a dollar on kindle. Grab it, read it, review it! You will not regret it, and if you do, uhm… well, I’ll be shocked!
Thankfully if I can get a cover cobbled together I may have a release next week! My editrix has been continuing to work her butt off while I’m recovering, and that’s good for everyone! Seriously, thank Kia that I ever get anything in readable shape at all anymore.
And you can thank her, and talk with lots of cool people, over on the Mind Control Literature discord, here!
For now, I think that’s me. Hopefully next week will have a sexy new release, and I can get back to business as usual! Until then?
