Afterword - Winter Maid - Chapter 1
🕑 Added 2020-05-18 04:00:28 +0000 UTCI wasn’t into maid and mind-control before. But then, a while ago, I started to pay more attention to a category on Gromet’s plaza called “maid-bot.” At some point in the past years, I got to read a couple of excellent stories that were turning me on. Of course, as a writer, I always felt something was lacking. Either it turned into something I didn’t like, or it was ending too soon.
The only solution was to write my own maid-bot story.
Creation is like breathing out. You can do so much of it before needing to breathe in again. In my case, big names like Feliformia are the equivalent of breathing out, and small stories like Winter Maid are like breathing in. It is not as if I want to start another massive series on top of all the others. It is just that I needed to try something else in order not to lose control of my main titles.
A good example was when I wrote Feliformia 1-2-3… I wrote all that within such a short time. I wrote all three chapters within two weeks and without a break. Then I pushed through 4 and 5 that were the worse chapters of the series. I learned my lesson, and I took my time for 6-7-8-9-10, and they were much better, in my opinion.
Now, Winter Maid. It is a small story, easy to read that is supposed to be amusing. I enjoyed writing about Mia, who is bored at home and trying to empty the internet from all cat videos. And the scene when she attempts to go outside to play with the carnivorous squirrels. I don’t know for you, but in my head, it was funny as hell.
I wanted her to be the opposite of a maid. She is lazy, doesn’t participate in house chores or is unable to, and leaves everything in the hands of her boyfriend, who is maybe a bit too tolerant and lets her bury herself in her bad habits. I left a lot of room for future improvement.
Brian is very secondary in this story. He is merely an excuse for Latino Mia to end up in Canada, where the weather is incompatible with her personality. That allowed me to squeeze her inside a controllable environment.
Also, Brian was an excuse to bring the high-tech device home. It was not something Mia would have considered buying for herself. So Brian, just impulsively bought it for no valid reason, as we all do at some point in our life.
I wanted Mia to be skeptical about hypnosis and what the device can do. Then after her first accidental experience, I wanted her to try the device by herself. I know for myself that there are things I want to try in real life, but I don’t want anybody else to know about them. I’m sure many of you can relate to that. Getting caught rendered her unable to escape her faith.
Then, in the end, Brian, who is not very important, still shows a little side of him when he returns Mia to a hypnotic state before explaining how he configured the device. It was not so much to show that he was controlling, but more like showing that they trust each other. That part could have been written better.
Overall, I enjoyed writing it. The goal of this story is to have fun. I will more than likely ask all Patrons to tell me where they want this story to go and other elements. Like what kind of maid uniform will she get. What kind of activities she will do and any other ideas that can make the story progress. Then I will write it based on what was decided by you. :) I wanted to try something like this for a while. I think this story is the right candidate.
On a final note. Thank you for reading. I hope you appreciate the variety I’m trying to bring. I know a lot of you are waiting for the next big titles like Feliformia 10 and Building reality and the sun I can’t see. But as I said. Breathing in is very important.
Oh, and if you read until this line, here is a secret… Feliformia 11 is almost all drafted, it goes hand in hand with 10, so I had to work on it at the same time. So for the next two months, you should only see big titles. :) (I honestly wrote “big titties” by accident when I wrote this text)
Thanks so much for reading.

Thanks for reading the story. Yes, the intro was important to me. I have to admit that I wanted to describe winter properly just for my own pleasure as a northern person. Our extreme cold temperature is quite something to experience. I don't hate when readers suggest ideas, actually one of them helped me get out of a dead-end recently. Also, it helps me understand what the readers would like to read. But in the case of Winter Maid, that is a challenge I would like to try. To write what people tell me to write. I think it could be a fun experience to try on a minor story, its a way to say thank you. I would never do that on my main series, though. :)
The story seems to become very interesting. The introduction is very long and detailed and describes well the mood and motivation of Mia. I'm very curious to see how it continues! But I'm not going to make suggestions. I am a writer myself and hate it when readers try to push me in a certain direction. You have enough imagination to develop the story yourself. Write what moves you, not what the readers want to read! Yeah, I know the place. I read a story on Gromets and think to myself: Why doesn't it go on? Why this twist? That's how my best stories were written.
