PS: Looking forward to seeing your stories. Any chance of a preview/excerpt, or are you not that far along yet?
No, I couldn't show everyone a sample yet. Once every plot detail has been scripted, then I can go over the prose to make it serviceable.
So far, it looks to be some 16 chapters: each a unit of time which might warrant 3 or 4 pages. As the events described take place over the course of one night, I couldn't release them out of chronological order.
My stories might as well take place in Stepford. Those are the values I would hope to promote in an erotic story. Domestification, transformation into ideally content, ideally co-operative machines. My focus I think is on the variety of degrees of self-knowledge a cyborg/robot may possess. The possible characterizations are manifold; and limited, programmed self-knowledge can be terribly endearing to me.
Many readers, it seems, worry that

transformation stories

cross a certain line of acceptable taste

; I've grown out of that concern. I know what I want in my erotica cybernautica, and it doesn't have anything much to do with who I am outside of my secret desires. So I hope that people will give in to the fun

, and not be put off

by unsolicited transformations which underlie my offering, an alternative for what The Stepford Children could have been in the right hardcore hands.
