Lesson 8: The best stories end
with a hint of more to come.
This lesson is pretty obvious and
it's great weather out, so I'll keep it short.
Femdom stories are monster movies.
The monster has to be dealt with at the end, but no one in the
audience wants to see it killed. The monster is what they came to
see. It's on the movie poster.
So your main character makes the
Big Choice in the Finale (where else?) and solves the situation.
For now.
Then, after your climax (literally and
figuratively), have a small, low-key, catching-your-breath scene.
The characters are recovering. They are planning for the future.
And the future involves... more of the same teasing that this story
covered!
It can't be exactly the same, but
it can't be totally different as well (remember lesson 6: Stay on
Target). It should be the same tag, but in a different setting.
Jason's going to New York.
One of the aliens has survived.
Godzilla is dead... but she had a
baby!
You don't have to go deep into
description, you never even have to write that sequel. Just hint
at more to come. Leave the door open. Give a hint. And your
audience will be happy.
SPOILERS FOR MANY PF DEE BOOKS FOLLOW.
At the end of Kylie's story- she's
fully okay using all of her Powers on her family. (Quite an arc from
the beginning scene.)
At the end of Dude Ranch- Dexter's
girlfriend is going to keep him CFNM, outside of the ranch!
At the end of The Drake
Cheerleader Incident- well, I fucked that one up. No hint of more.
At the end of Summer Break- the
cousins are back for Christmas! (Same tag, different setting.)
And at the end of Sex Powers
University 1, that little scene with the three students and the
headmistress, (after the climax), Troy agrees to come back for a
second term. (Solidifying the big choice). We don't know WHAT'S going
to happen to him next time around, but the fact that it involves 'Futanari' and
that Troy doesn't know what those are, gives us a good sense of the
adventures to come!
SPOILERS END
So that's it- always leave them
wanting more. It puts a little lift at the end of the tale, a little energy and anticipation to leave the audience in a hopeful state.
Alright students, if any of you make it this far, no assignment this time. You've gone through eight lessons, and now you're on your own. Now you've got 4 weeks to write your own short story (usually 3,000-10,000 words, but you can go more or less) using all these principles. Feel free to bounce ideas off me in the comments. Or we can trade anonymous emails and I'll edit the best I am able.

Afterwards, post the stories on orgasmdenial.com, and if any of
them hit all my principles well, I'll ask you if I can post it here
or link to your site.
I'm going back to writing Sex Powers University 2 now, so I don't know if I'll run this class again for another set of students.
If there is a lot of buzz in the comments and readers ask for more, I may write another set of classes: "Everything I learned about how to self publish erotic fiction on Smashwords.com". That will teach folks how to format for ebook standards, create sexy covers with little effort, and publish their work so everyone can read them for profit!
Have fun, and I really do hope this helped. I can't wait to read your stories.

Any update on Sex Powers University 2? Originally it was Valentines Day, then push back to May but now it's July! The wait is killing me.
ReplyDeleteI know! Unfortunately, my dumb idea for this "Writing Better Femdom Fiction" series delayed every project for a month, sorry.
DeleteBut I did write a little last night, and I'm doing my best to get it out this month!
Thanks for your patience,
P. F. Dee
