Deviation Actions
Copyright 2011 Knotty Silk Scarf Productions
There seems to be 12 stages for everything these days. So I decided to develop the stages of storyline fetish bondage. This is not a master/slave thing or even role playing by couples. It certainly does not apply to a video were a woman is tied up and simply struggling. This is storyline or plot-driven bondage involving a heroine who stumbles on or is the target of some criminal activity or who is tied up by a jealous girfriend or perhaps by the hero for her own good. Not only does this apply to productions designed to showcase bondage, but also to most TV and movies which have bondage in them. Whether the producers of these shows and movies intend it or not, their bondage scenes are searched for, evaluated and played over and over.
The 12 steps are similar in many ways to the steps which would occur in real life situations.
I give a few examples for each step. These are not intended to be complete. Some of the steps can come in a different order depending on the situation. It is also possible that some steps are completely absent in some scenarios.
Comments are, of course, welcome.
1. Point of No Return - The point at which our heroine will be bound and gagged.
No action on her part can prevent it.
It might be when she decides to return home (or work) unexpectedly.
It might be when the robbery team decides to rob her house or when she opens the door.
It might be when our heroine sees something suspicious and decides to investigate.
It might be when it is decided that she should be kidnapped.
It might be when the bad guy/girls realize that she knows something she shouldn't know.
2. Realization that she is in trouble.
It may be when she is surrounded by masked robbers or kidnappers.
It may be when a gun is pointed at her.
It may be when she is grabbed and a hand clamped over her mouth.
It may be when she feels something hit her from behind.
It may be when she is grabbed and a cloth soaked in chloroform
is held over her face...this one is really rare in real life.
3. The act of being bound and gagged - this can be a voluntary or involuntary act of submission.
She may be forcibly bound by one or more people.
She may submit to being bound without being threatened with force, but usually there is still an implied threat.
She may submit to being bound under threat of a weapon.
She may be unconscious when she is bound.
4. Being threatened
This is present at all stages whether the captor is present or not and instills fear in the heroine. She can be indirectly threatened just by being captured and restrained. There is always an implied threat during criminal activity. Even after the captor has left, there may a threat that they will return or perhaps that she won't be found. The only time a threat may not be present is when the hero ties and gags the heroine for her own good.
However, this stage doesn't refer those general threats, it specifically refers to being directly threatened if she doesn't obey or cooperate or perhaps give up information.
5. Pleading for release - This is a stage that can happen at anytime.
It can be an attempt to reason with her captor or out of fear or both.
It can be verbal pleading.
It can be verbal pleading while gagged.
It can be pleading with her eyes only.
6. Defiance or Anger (and Frustration) - This normally happens after the pleading for release fails.
The heroine realizes that her captor is not going to release her so her emotions are overwhelmed by anger at her captor and/or herself for being in this situation.
7. Panic Struggling
A combination of fear and anger that results in wild, unfocused struggling to get free. For the captor, this is very desirable. It is a reason to leave just enough slack in her bonds that she might think that she could pull free. The result can lead to exhaustion for our heroine, which will make her more docile.
8. Acceptance (and Boredom)
The point at which our heroine understands that she is well-tied and that her bondage might be for a longer time than she expected. Yes, being well-bound and gagged can lead to boredom if it lasts for a prolonged time, particularly in real life.
Boredom is never depicted in fetish bondage.
9. Testing the bonds and gag.
Even after the panic struggling, our heroine will periodically test her bonds and gag on the hope that something will have changed. This is just human nature.
10. Focused Struggling
Our heroine has a plan to get free. Her struggles are focued.
11. False hope
Sometime during her ordeal, our heroine will believe that someone is close enough to hear her gagged cries and rescue her or that one of her captors might let her go. Or perhaps the heroine escapes only to be immediately captured again.
12. Release - either by being found or working free of her bonds.
She might be found by accident or perhaps by people who are looking for her.
She might be found because she manages to get her gag off and can scream for help.
She manages to get untied and escapes herself.
In rarer situations, the heroine might be released by her captor

Lessons Learned from My AI Experiment
In my latest Midsummer Robberies post I did an experiment by including some AI generated images - two by DreamUP and one generated by @MadokaKawabata using a different AI generator. My purpose was to add some color and context to the prose. It is NOT my intention to use AI as a substitute for using an artist's work for my primary illustrations. [As you will see AI can not generate specific detailed illustrations like my friend, @mileshendon can or other artists.} The idea was to get content I would not ever ask Miles or another artist to provide - a phone booth, for instance. Problems with AI AI can't spell! It took many iterations to get one word (telephone) to be spelled correctly. DreamUp would add letters (teleepphone) and sometimes it looked like a foreign language. Even quotes don't work. I tried an image of Mary's Dress Shop and was amazed at how many different ways that was misspelled. I have seen 1st grades spell better (and they are really bad.) The bottom line is that if
Lady Spies - A New Chronology
Thomas Silk Copyright 2016-2023 Knotty Silk Scarf Productions Author's note 1: This version of the Lady Spies Chronology supersedes the older version which can be found here. This older version won't be deleted, but also won't be updated. It is referenced in to many places so a link will point to this new version in that journal. The older version was created with DA's older editor which was much more limited and harder to maintain. Author's note 2: It was suggested and I agree that some sort of chronology is needed for new and long-time readers of this series. While it is not necessary to read the novellas in order to enjoy them. Understanding the history does explain the background General Information The Lady Spies series of stories was spawned by my interest in the (primarily) television spy series of the 1960's. The style of those shows was campy, somewhat humorous, generally with a handsome guy solving crimes against his country. Although there may have been shows before the
Angela Morris, PI - A Chronology
Thomas Silk Copyright 2023 KSS Productions General Information Angela Morris and her partner, Wendy Larson, are private investigators in the 1950s. Women PIs are a rarity at that time and as such they not only fight cheating husbands, criminals, but also a male dominated world. Their clients are exclusively women. The rationale for the time period chosen is given in the Lady Spies – A Chronology Like spy shows of that period, PI shows, such as 77 Sunset Strip, were male dominated. The women were either worked for or with the main characters or were guest stars. The one except was Honey West, who was the lead in a show by by the same name Unlike the women in those TV shows, Angela Morris, Wendy Lawson, and the other women in these stories are risking more than their lives as the villains, both men and women are also interested in them as women, to be conquered and ravished. Some of the villains are murders and Angela and Wendy must kill themselves at times to save their lives.
Open Question Time
!KP-Presents (https://www.deviantart.com/kp-presents) had a great idea - open question time on his page. I thought I would do the same. You may ask any question of me that deals with my writing or stories. You may also ask questions of any of my characters concerning them or their actions in their stories. Questions addressed to a specific character will be answered by that character (not me). Do be careful - some of the characters are sensitive, particularly the villains, to criticism of their actions. They are villains, after all.

I like this article. The only thing is, a lot of companies don't have *real* struggling - the damsel just rolls around on the floor or just sits there, which is very annoying. Sometimes they don't even try to get their gags out when they easily could. I'd like to see more realistic struggling and escape attempts.
