Re: Taken! Author's note

I started writing in the 1990s. The first story written was "The Enslavement of Elena", followed soon after by "Taken!" and then a venture into poetry called "The Chastity Belt". In 1991 I began self-publishing the stories -- the first one in print was Taken!, followed by the Chastity Belt and then Elena. By 1996 I had begun putting together a website.

For awhile, the file for Taken! had been lost. But recently I located a copy of Taken! in print -- from that copy I was able to put together a textfile of the story that I can now share here.

I find it interesting to track the progress of the writing. Certainly, the quality improves over time. With Taken! and Elena being the first ones, you'll notice the difference from the later titles (by copyright years). For the archive, I'm glad to have this early piece back in the collection. It's one of the shortest as well as the earliest. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for posting it MrIvan. I have read it and aroused a lot.... :blush: :blush: It really seems kinda rude and vulgar on some level but to my shame it somehow touched me... You know, you seems not most talented writer, i have read more well thought out and better detailed stories, but your bluntness and candor still impress me surprisingly! So keep posting them if you have any more. And now i have to call my master! ;-)

blacklioness: I totally understand what you say about rude and vulgar. In part, that was the nature of the scene imagined. And in part, it was a starting point for myself in terms of learning the craft of writing. Compare it, and the Enslavement of Elena, two of my earliest works, with the likes of the Collar of Ambuchar, or The Belt. I know the style has evolved over the past 25 years -- and I wish there was the time and patience to bring it forward even more.

One of the most frustrating parts of writing is, for every story I've put out, there are about three more that never got done. :-)
