[Writer Guidelines for Contributors]

Hi folks!

Thank you for the encouragement and comments on my branch of From Girlfriend to Sex **** - I probably never would have gotten around to starting this sequel if it wasn't for that. Now that I've gotten started, I'm hoping to keep adding to it for a long while, but I wanted to invite anyone who wants to add a chapter or branch to feel free to do so.

I decided to start my own thread because this may take a direction that goes beyond some of the original themes and guidelines of Bigtrain's amazing story. Be sure to check out his other work btw - he's a great writer with a solid feel for character (plus he writes some hot shit), and from what I can tell, an all around good guy. That said, I'm planning to take things a bit past where his guidelines would allow and want to respect his work. After all, if it hadn't caught me so firmly, I never would have published my own work on this site.

Things to keep in mind (other than keeping it within site guidelines - if people go past that, I'll have to start moderating):

• This story has NO SEXUAL LIMITS. Go on, do your worst! I know I will. Just keep everything below in mind. Consider giving a little heads up for content generally regarded as more ****, but other than that, write whatever you like.

• Megan isn't an idiot. Far from it. She's submissive by nature and nurture, and her sexual side has been repressed, but she's smart as hell, maybe smarter than Mike. She's torn between the feeling of release when she let's Mike take over, and the quickness of her own mind, as well as society's expectations. This conflict is central to the story, and in my opinion it's what makes the original story so dynamic.

• Megan isn't weak. She's disciplined and strong-willed, and she never would have made it to med school if she wasn't. Further, she probably wouldn't have been able to get through Mike's cruelty if she wasn't tough as nails deep down. She will push back and be **** instinctively, but the truth is she enjoys this treatment and on some level it's always her choice to stay in this situation. Her strength brings complexity to her desire to both give in to her submissive side as well as retain her independence and dignity. Besides, it makes breaking her so much more fun!

• Mike has a heart. He just has a complicated relationship to it and doesn't always understand what he's feeling, like most of us. When he's hurt, angry or frustrated he can close that down and get real cruel and mean, but when the fog of anger clears he will probably regret it. He's manipulative, sure, maybe even kind of an asshole sometimes, but he's not a sociopath. He has more empathy than he'd ever be willing to admit to. Yet he has his own dark side, and like any sane man, respects and fears it. That's his conflict.

• Mike and Megan really do love each other. This is not a sappy romance story, but that connection is at the core of this. That's not to say neither of them can fuck their relationship up. They are certainly playing a dangerous game and they may not stay together if things get too out of control.

• There are consequences to any actions taken. Yeah, this is porn, so there's a certain suspension of disbelief, but it's more fun if it's at least somewhat grounded in reality. Corruption and training stories only work when there's a kind of slow burn and somewhat realistic change. Megan's not going to change overnight, and certainly not in one chapter.

• No magic, sci-fi, etc. I love that stuff too, but it doesn't fit this world. So no mind control apps, etc, but some somewhat realistic hypnosis might be interesting...

That said, happy writing, and happy jerk/jilling!
