Hi Merlin

Many thanks for the interest, I'm glad you like the Debbie stories as I think I learn't a lot from writing those.

I've definitely not left them behind, the delay in writing (and even posting images) was due to a pretty busy work life for the last 4-5 years...  Thankfully I've recently changed jobs so am working more normal hours now and trying to catch up on all the projects I'd wanted to do

I've written parts 3, 4 and 5 - so far as a single story but I think this will benefit from splitting into at least two parts..  I also became distracted with two other stories  so essentially I have about 3 mostly finished stories that just need a final bit of polishing and editing.  I'll make at least a cover image for each one as well, but I was thinking of illustrating the stories with more images...  Historically I seem to have written stories - with next to no imagery - and images, with next to no story!

Of the other two stories - one is a novice fight  over unlimited rounds- The first time they've fought more than 3 rounds before, wearing much lower cut shorts than they've worn before, without breast protectors for the first time and using lighter weight gloves - this sounds derivative of the Debbie idea - but this is in a totally different style. Debbie was first person, this story is told from both fighters perspective, the mistakes they make as they adapt to the new conditions, the painful lessons they learn and what happens when two fighters are so evenly matched that neither can finish the other off. (well one does eventually)..  This story isn't as long as it sounds so will be a single story

The 2nd story might not be be one that can be posted here...  it is a much requested sequel to an older story (Sam v Julie) . A fighter retires to have a child but some months after she's given birth she is tricked into a grudge match against a rival. The rival isn't as good a fighter, but our heroine has a distinct disadvantage which is cruelly taken advantage off...  The winner is?  Actually, I have the last part to finish but I know where it is going. This will end up as probably 3 parts with part 1 definitely finished, part 2 more or less completely and part 3 I've just started.  

I'll hopefully post the Debbie stories, certainly fights 3 and 4 as a single story, in the reasonably near future. I want to add some images first. the final fight in her first 5 fight series is also finished in rough but needs a few re-reads and fine tuning. Then it's a case of what happens to Debbie next! I've set the scene for a continuation but haven't fleshed out how or what that will be in any detail.  

Other stories of mine are in a yahoo group - groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/th…. I'm sure some could be posted here so will look at that but some are probably not suitable. I know the limits with imagery, but I need to read up on what is/isn't allowed with text.

Best regards

Hi tj,

 

I am really pleased to hear that you are planning to post more boxing stories.  I really enjoyed the two parts of the Debbie story and was hoping that you might do some more.  I particularly liked the first person narrative that you used, which I thought was very effective.  I have applied to join the Kandibox Yahoo group and look forward to reading the stories you have posted there.

 

You are right to be cautious about running foul of DA’s policies on content.  I recently had some of my pictures removed and it wasn’t completely clear why some of them had offended the rules more than others that have been left alone.  Here is a link to the relevant page on DA about their policy in this area, if you haven't been able to locate them already:

Would you be happy for me to continue any conversation about your stories, etc via the notes?

 

Cheers,

Merlin
