A Story in the Damsels In Distress Universe
When I write a story, I have to put some effort into 'world-building', or figuring out all the details about the setting. I've cleaned up part of my notes for this essay. If you're looking for another incredibly exciting ZM tale, full of plot, action, sex, and gore, you're in the wrong place. This is only an essay about one of the things that make Chaos different. -ZM
A story in the Changes Universe
We prefer to think everything modern man introduces is new and unique. That is not really true. One sort of wise man used to say 'History Repeats Itself' at least unless man learns from the past mistakes. This story builds on that. If on Earth, things might have been different, maybe not though. Just recently a religious zealot I have known a long time told me things no sane, cognizant, rational man would be able to say with a straight face. Read on please.
The year is now 2186 and sex work is a common occupation. Nearly every young person knows at least one friend, sibling, or cousin who works in the industry, and no one would bat an eye when they saw a sixteen-year-old working behind the counter. It was a normal part of society, no different from any other profession. And the industry continues to thrive, despite its low wages. No one questioned how things had gotten this way. It was just life. And for Lila, this was just another night on the job
An 'In the Beginning' Story (2) Part of the Tales of Olympus universe
After the Fall of Ouranos, Cronos is King on Olympus. While he sits on the throne, schemes and plots are still brewing and the hidden threat of a prophecy which foretells that one of Cronos' children will overthrow him.
She’s Lascivious Livia, a charismatic, voraciously bisexual stage magician and hypnotist with an irredeemably cheesy sense of humor. He’s Marcelo Ambrose Knight, a handsome pickup artist with a dominant streak and a heart of gold. In an age of legwarmers, VHS, Aqua Net and valley girls, they’ll team up to create the most erotic, glamourous and outrageous (and the only) traveling adult variety show the world has ever seen! (There may be a wee smidge of fighting crime along the way.)
You may have read the books and watched the movies, but you have yet to see Katniss, Peeta, and others in this alternate-universe tale. Forcing sexual submission is the only way to win, and losing doesn't mean death, rather, but a fate worse than death for family members. EXTREME! Do NOT read if you have a queasy stomach! Our protagonists utilize every trick in their arsenal to achieve victory over President Snow and his ilk.
