Writing Better Femdom Fiction- 8 (finale)

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. 

P. F. Dee.

  1. 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.

    1. I know! Unfortunately, my dumb idea for this "Writing Better Femdom Fiction" series delayed every project for a month, sorry.

      But 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
