According to my wife, I have a surplus of ego. The Vassal Group is a dark and dangerous story. It is all too possible, and I can't say with any certainty that it is not happening in some form or another. Again, a million missing persons reports in a year. That is one in three hundred of us. Mostly they return, or are found, but some never are. I could not bring myself to do the story as I feared it was happening, with children. So I made it adults, and walked everyone through the barbaric process of scientifically applied brutality. Not on many of the million missing, but just a few, a handful a week across this nation would be completely lost in the flood of other missing persons reports. No one would notice the difference between one missing person, and another.
I still get occasional emails about Family Tradition of Bondage (No incest despite the title's suggestion) where people write me telling me how much they liked the story. Several women have written and told me they wished they were the main female character Sherri.
Many more have written and told me that there must be a secret farm like the one I imagined for the Author. More than one has begged me to let them know how to join or where it is. That is the greatest reward for a writer of fiction, that the scenes you create are so real that people are able to suspend disbelief, sometimes to an alarming level. Let's be honest gang. If there was a secret Bondage farm between Macon and Atlanta where men and women engaged in Pony Girl/Boy action around a race track there would be no difficulty in finding it. You would just drive around until you saw the dozen or so circling helicopters and airplanes with long lenses sticking out the side. The secret would be out the first time an aircraft flew over.
The Vassal Academy was intended to be a cathartic sequel. I wanted to have a place for people to learn about themselves, and allow a characters I liked despite the situation, Devon and Jeannette, to continue to live. So I created a facility in fiction to allow the examination of the psychological environments of BDSM and to examine some of the practices. The rules of that facility prohibit drugs, and have as absolute hard limits some things that are outside of sane and safe even if consensual.
