Ok, finally the end of Act 1. Orchid has some agency, has accepted her mission, and has taken some active steps towards her goal. She has some clues to investigate and some hooks into the King and his daughter. Which direction is she going to go next? In Act 2 we’ll get into the action!
This episode was very difficult to write! There was a lot I wanted to introduce without overwhelming the reader with information. The story needs to be heavily sexual, while still following a complex plot. That’s my goal. Is this episode a success? Or does it only do one well? Or neither?
I think the sex in the scene is interesting, and different than what I’ve written before. Orchid doesn’t even have an orgasm! Good or bad?
I’m pretty happy with the paragraphs spent on Orchid’s mind reading. I really like the imagery of the King’s semen coating Azalea’s insides. Orchid will be using her magic a lot during the course of this story, so I hope it stays interesting. What do you think? Does it work as a story element?
Several commenters have suggested that the length could increase, and this episode is a bit over 4000 words — so longer than my original 2k-3k target. I think I’ll aim for 3k-4k words from now on.
I’m eager for your feedback, so please leave a comment!
