Jeb's Adventure Bound
November 20th, 2009
Got a few odds and ends this week:
It was recently brought to my attention that folks who don't read all the way down this page may not be aware of some of my stories, so I think I'll go ahead and put a permanent link to my main Stories page here. And, again, the Friends pages are being reworked.
A few weeks ago, I was trying to come up with an idea for a new Halloween story. Not sure why, but I was kind of inspired by the great bondage séance scene in A.E.W. Mason's At The Villa Rose*, and decided I'd try something with a similar setting.
Well, as such things will, the story got away from me, grew well past what I'd intended, and the Halloween aspect's not all that prominent anymore; on the other hand, it does introduce a couple of new characters I've been trying to work into just the right story for a while now.
I hope it'll still prove entertaining, even with only minimal Halloween associations. Please enjoy the first three parts of Olivia Dunne and the Spirit Cabinet.
*An astute reader pointed out that, in my introduction above, I was mixing up two of Mason's mystery novels with Damsel in Distress scenes: the seance scene is from At The Villa Rose, not The House Of The Arrow, as I originally wrote.
However, both stories feature some highly entertaining Damsel in Distress sequences, and when I was looking them up to remind myself which story was which, I figured why not share them with all of you?
So, get ready for some vintage thrills and enjoy the distressed damsels of A.E.W. Mason.
Finally, here's an interesting little bonus:
In the November issue of the UK edition of Harper's Bazaar, supermodel Claudia Schiffer is featured in a number of photo sets, one of which casts her as an old-time movie heroine, with two of the pictures being of particular interest, and they are shown below.
To save the images in the size you see them here, right-click on them, and "save picture [or 'image'] as...
To save the larger versions (roughly twice as big), right-click and "save target [or 'link'] as..."
|
|
Mac folks, I'm sure, can work out the process for themselves (you're a clever lot, you are).
Here's a mini version of the entire photo set:
If you'd like to see all of the photos fullsize, not just the bondage ones, they're hosted in dozens of places around the web; just search for "Claudia Schiffer Mystery In The Moonlight."
Reminder: no update next Friday, November 27th. See you on December 4th!
And I can't say this often enough: if you've got ideas for a Damsel-in-Distress tale that you'd care to share with our readers, I'd love to hear about it. Previous writing experience is emphatically NOT needed! You can email me at: jebdel@yahoo.com.
Recent Updates:

This one is something quite special: a full-length novel of bondage and relationships that was sent to me by an author who prefers to remain anonymous. The material came to me complete in pdf form (you'll need Adobe's free Acrobat Reader program, which you can download here), and I am presenting it here in its entirety this week. It's a great pleasure to bring you Weakness and Strength.
I figured out why it was taking me so long to finish the final chapter of Pirates' Prey: it actually turned out to be two chapters! But here it finally is, the long-awaited conclusion to Lady Catherine's latest adventure, in Chapter Six and Chapter Seven. And don't forget, her first tale of romance and distress is still available: Love's Savage Bonds. Do let me know if you'd care to read more such tales in future.
As always, I've gathered all the holiday-themed stories into one big Holiday Assortment for your pleasure
Chloro fans get a treat with a new story by James, called Beauty and the Bondage. It's got a nice "hers-and-his" perspective.
Swords, sandals, sorcery, sorceresses, skimpy ouftits, seductive sequestered sirens ... um... I've run out of alliterative ideas. My latest bondage adventure is called Conyn and the Black Phoenix,. Enjoy.
Historian continues his latest adventure, in Chapter Three of Kelly and Kristi's First Case.
Here's a change of pace type story-- not really an adventure, but it does feature a distressed damsel in a setting of academic restraint. Enjoy Claire Harrison's New Detention Method.
Gerund Story returns this week with a sexy, tasty story whose title pretty much says it all: Pranks Gone Wrong. And do they ever.
I'm not in the mood for eulogies; I've had to do a couple in real life in recent weeks. But it is a sad day, as we post the final chapter that Nicole Sutter completed in the epic tale of Tai Anne Roper 2 . Quite a tale, that, combined with its predecessor, forms a bondage adventure epic unlike any other. Nicole's old writing partner, Peter Moriarty, has suggested the possibility of preparing versions of some of their collaborations for posting here, and if that happens, it'd be terrific. Until then, though, let's just say "Thanks for the memories, Nicole," and enjoy Chapter 31.
Bodices ripping, buckles swashing, and some real sexual peril highlight the first (and so far, only) part of Scarlette and the Adventure of Lady Katherine.
I know a number of readers are fans of my story A Night At The Opera. I've always been rather pleased with the ending of it, but then, I'm always more interested in the capture than prolonged captivity. Well, one of my readers composed a continuation of that story, to see what Regine and Anne get up to next. It's completely his idea, and I'm flattered that he made the effort. Enjoy Terron Childress' continuation of A Night At The Opera.
Historian thickens the plot in Chapter Six of The Dixie Detective Agency.
An unexpected twist or two wraps up the final chapter of Ed Mariner's Dangerous Business.
New author T.C. brings us the first chapter of a new story called Rehab.
Miss Vicky returns to visit some rather wicked therapy on an unsuspecting young woman who meets Dr. Brian.
Peter Moriarty presents a nicely chilling little piece called Slither.
Enjoy fourth and final chapter of my Christmas-themed tale of adventure in the good old Golden Age of comics: No Holiday For Heroines.
A new author, Mike Z, brings us a holiday tale he calls Lights. I should mention that, while this is a charming little story, it does have a couple of slightly explicit moments, but I think you'll find it worth your time.
All of our previous seasonal favorites are still available here.
Chapter Five of K.C. Hush's The Abduction Game continues with some smart banter (actually puts me in mind of a Tracy-Hepburn picture), and a bit of foreshadowing... much more to come in this one. Enjoy!
We continue our tale of rolling seas, ripped bodices, and restraint, with Chapter Five of my story Pirates' Prey.
I've had a few folks ask me recently about getting more superheroine stories here at the site, and wouldn't you know, Miss Vicky turns up with the first chapter of a brand new one. She gives a spandex sweetie a pretty rough workout in Chapter One of The Adventures of Hypergirl.
Is turnabout fair play? When good girls tie bad girls, I say "Of course!". Enjoy Chapter Three of Frank Fessler's Rivals. Our friend Docman certainly knows his way around a slinky villainess (so to speak), as he brings us Chapter Three of Finders Keepers.
Amy Flanagan puts her sexy secret agent through some pretty vigorous paces in Chapter Three of The Adventures of Agent Lisa.
A twist or two in Chapter Five of my story, The Adventure of the Happy Cat.
Some people will say that women can be harder on each other than men can... don't know if that's so, but Miss Vicky's latest story sure seems to suggest it's the case. Enjoy The Long Walk Home.
Amy Flanagan returns with a new story, The Violinist. I should probably mention that it might be on the rougher side for some readers, but it's a very well written piece.
Enjoy Chapter Two of Judging Melissa, written AND illustrated by BAD.
It's a bonus-length tale of peril in Chapter Six of J. R. Francisco's Reunion. Good stuff, and I look forward to more from this talented author.
Return with us now to the age of chivalry...of brave knights and fair maidens... who get themselves into a whole bunch of trouble. Enjoy Chapter Two of Sir Chard's The Knight of Her Bondage.
An older story of mine, and a bit different. I hope you'll enjoy The Adventures of Anne and Vicky.
Gag talk galore with our ol' pal Woody, as we resume Hover Lover Mayday with Chapter Eight and Chapter Nine.
It's Feds and cops and spies and... well, ropes and such, in the latest chapter of Nicole Sutter's Tai Anne Roper 2
Zella's another author to make their debut here, bringing us an entertaining, self-contained story of "ropes on a soap," with Bound To Be A Solution.
It's the Old Master himself, Brian Sands, with more of the type of adventure that made him the model for everything I've tried to achieve with this site. Please enjoy Chapter Six and Chapter Seven of Lisette Ruisseau & the Case of the Kidnapped Heiress.
Jim is a new author to this site, and (like all of us) a big fan of the late Gillian B. In her honor, we present Jim's first story, a very special adventure of Gillian's beloved heroine La Cioccolata.
It's with great pleasure that I welcome Charles Spencer back to Jeb's Adventure Bound, as he begins a most intriguing tale ("inspired by a true story", as they say at the movies!) called House Removals.
One of the best stories this site has ever hosted today comes to its exciting conclusion, as we present the sexy, pulse-pounding (and extra-long!) final chapter of Frank Knebel's Sky and the Starlets. This is one great wrapup, folks, with distressed damsels galore, and once more I extend my profound thanks to Frank for sharing it with us. We'll be hearing more from him in the future.
I'm delighted to be able to share more of J.R. Francisco's Reunion, as he brings us Part Five.
Amy Flanagan continues The Adventures of Agent Lisa with Chapter Two.
Enjoy the next chapter of Amona's amazing epic Cat War. I'm truly sorry this one takes so long for me to prep for posting, but it's clearly a labor of love, and I want to do it justice.
There's more spandex peril in Chapter Two of Gerund's exciting superheroine bondage adventure, Dawn of Twilight.
We have two more chapters of my collaborative superheroine story called Spider-Woman and the Books of Doom. In Chapter Six things look dicey for Spider-Woman... and then comes Chapter Seven. Whew. Much more to come in this one.
Yet another new author makes his debut here, as Dex Combo brings us the first chapter of a sexy tale he calls The Best Policewoman in the Land.
Miss Vicky returns with a tale of restraint and rough treatment for the hapless heroine of A Party To Remember.
The high-flying Hooper finally gets down to earth this week, as Frank Fessler brings us the exciting conclusion of Hooper, with Chapters Six, Seven, and Eight.
Our old friend Peter Walsh resumes his intriguing new story, Partners in Crime, with Chapter Two.
Miss Vicky returns with a charming little vignette called The Modelling Session.
We also have Frank to thank for adding another fine new author to our ranks. One of Frank's fans was inspired to try his own hand at writing, and as a result, we have a great new story this week: enjoy A Day At The Office, by Ed Mariner.
Remember, you can still savor a bit of cheer with the annual holiday update. This year's version features two brand-new stories: Silenced Night, by our old friend Historian, and a charming first effort from a promising new author, A Holiday Tradition
Maurice Llwewllyn once more whisks us back to the era of WW2 as we conclude The Misfortunes of Mary with Part Four. The author does indicate, though, that we've not seen the last of Mary and her compatriots. Hopefully they'll be back soon!
Ouch. That was certainly my reaction to Tollan's fate in the last chapter of kalan's Assassins. I have the feeling things aren't going to get much better for him OR poor Princess Mellindre in Part Five. And, as it happens, this is the last chapter that kalan has sent-- I'm hoping she'll have (cue Paul Harvey) "the rest of the story" for us soon.
Sadly, we now bring to an end the second of Stephen McIlvenna's great Swashbuckling Bound tales, with Chapter Six of Swashbuckling Bound II: The Pirate and the Highwaywoman. I'm sure I speak for a lot of readers when I say that I hope that we'll see more from him again soon.
And a new writer begins what I hope will be a long and fruitful career: Amy Flanagan offers us a very sexy (and somewhat explicit) tale of bondage mishap and misadventure in Not What I Intended.. This one's decidedly a mature readers tale, b
And we've got a story where bad girl meets badder girls for some comeuppance, as Miss Vicky presents her first offering, Hidden in Plain Sight.
As promised, we've got a chilling new story from our good friend Cordelia White. Beware of reading Halloween Surprise alone in the dark.
The plot thickens, and the ropes tighten, in Chapter Five
Another new author joins the site, as Ted brings us the first two chapters of Trouble in Paradise.
Servin' up gag talk like no one else is Woody, with Chapters Two and Three of Andy of Bindberry.
Two great new stories from Historian: Derby Day and Opening Night.
Luther Dean adds another few members to his cast of captured cartoon cuties in Chapter Four of The Riverview Robberies.
Two new chapters of Josh Hunter Shannon's Captives of Desire, a story that's added some fun new elements to our assortment. Enjoy Chapter Eight and Chapter Nine.
Chapter Six of Norm E's Penalty Minutes.
The master of "gag talk" is back. Yep, we've got more of Woody's Finnigan's Island this week: Chapter Three and Chapter Four.
A double helping of fun from Johnny Rocket: savor Chapters Three and Four of his latest, Surprise Acquisitions..
In memory of the late Gillian B, two previously unposted stories of hers: All at Sea: La Cioccolata, and All at Sea: Protective Colouring.
A new one of mine, that's a bit harder and more sexual than usual for me (though nothing completely unprecedented). If that sounds appealing, try Neighborhood Witch Watch.
More fun with Chapter Four of Thomas' The Co-Ed Sleuths.
What can she say? You can decide for yourself if our old friend Sooz Kink is in more trouble at the beginning of the latest chapter, or at the end, as Peter Walsh brings us Chapter Six of The 13th Hostage.
And while I hate to leave things on a cliffhanger, Chapter Seven of Veronica's Forced Vacation is the final one I've received so far. I'm hoping we'll see more before too much longer!
And remember, to catch up on earlier postings, the starting point for all the stories here remains the main Stories page.
See you next week!
