The cast of primary characters:
- Alán is a watcher of people. He is a vampire, though the one story I have started, so far, doesn’t reveal that. It will come out soon, I believe. (Predator Becomes Prey has vampiric elements.)
- Pete is submissive. His stories will likely all take place at his office.
- Charles Alexander is a switch. His entire life in the world of kink will be documented.
Charles Alexander … Is he, me?
Several of my writings feature Charles as the central character. All of the stories are interconnected and they take place at various points in his life.
“The Day He Met Her” is the beginning of his story in the kink world. Probably the beginning of any story worth telling about him. I don’t think his pre-kink history is interesting enough to be told anywhere.
“A Short Story” follows, being his first “public” scene.
“The Succubus” follows that being some undetermined time after he and his Mistress from the earlier two tales had parted ways. There is more to this story to be told, I just don’t know what yet.
“Phiona and Charles” follows that and is likely sometime during the “final chapter” of his story. I don’t think it will be his final piece, but I think Phiona will be the partner he stays with until his story is less tellable.
There will be more CA scenes and stories interwoven between the existing ones.
But to the question at hand, “Is he me?” … Yes and no. I have not experienced even a fraction of the things Charles has. These are not moments pulled from my life given a fiction setting. But, I do identify very strongly with Charles and his adventures are (mostly) my fantasies.
Ok, what about Alán and Pete?
C’mere, I’m gonna let you in on a little secret many authors have…
They’re all a little bit me. None of them are based exclusively on me of course. Pete’s office devilry may have been a short-lived fantasy of mine, but that doesn’t mean anything like that actually happened. Alán’s first adventure with Kaye is based (in part) on an actual encounter I had a bar one night. But the rest is just my fanciful mind wandering.
Why are all of these stories so old?
I have not written anything in quite a while, and the bits that are somewhat recent haven’t felt as real as earlier writing. The vast majority of my wroting was from a time when I was unsatisified in the real world and turned to writing fantasies in order to have some outlet. There was always a “muse” figure that I was flirting with online that would become so much more in my fantasies. Each of the women in my stories is probably based on one or more of these “muses.”
