"Incident in the Brambles" by Kortpeel

[C van D (imported)]

This little story has been around since 2005 and deserves to be better known. I myself only came across it yesterday. These comments are not meant to be critical in any way, but in reading the story there were several places where I wanted to know more.

a) Doc Granger is a busy lady - she figures in a lot of adventures, and that's why I dubbed by lady-vet Fothergill (the name of the vet who gelded the legendary Red Rum). How does she come to be in so many places, or alternatively how many Doc Grangers are there?

b) Dave and Rodney were evidently castrated by burdizzo (not recommended fo use on boys but no matter) We aren't told how much it hurt or how long it took to be effective.

c) Did it leave Dave and Rodney still able to get erections though not able to get a girl pregnant (they are amused by the storyteller getting Betty Enright in the club - surely unlikely if they are now unable to have sex)

d) Any boy with and gumption would have used a rubber when screwing Betty Enright.

Comments?

"Supreme Grand Inspector General"? Eh? What's that, then?

I spent 3 days recently reading (sometimes just skimming) all of Kortpeel's stories. I could only find 2 stories with Doc Granger in them, this one and "The Cobbler's Tale". Surely there must be at least one more. And I was disappointed there weren't more that packed an erotic punch. But then again, most of my stories are a little tepid, as well.

I wrote 7 stories about Doc Granger, myself. The only one that caused much of a cockstand is the one with Madam Zenobia.

Re: "Incident etc.": Korty bends reality a little in reaching for a humorous, ironic ending. I thought it was a nice story. It was short. Some of Korty's pieces are quite long and rambling. Tons and tons of discussion setting up the context for the castration. I guess he's trying to sexualize that kind of social interaction. But I'm thankful he doesn't stampede to the blood-and-guts of the castration like so many other EA authors.

Re: your profile, Mr. C van D: your mother must have been very unusual to be telling you about pageboys being castrated. I trace my own interest to having spent a couple months in traction when I a toddler. This amorphous tendency was crystallized a few years later by a much older sister's leering remarks about Vienna Choir Boys being castrated. My older sister deeply resented having been cheated out of owning a penis and testicles. I suppose I should add this to my profile.

I'll have to check out your stories, Mr. C van D. You seem like a kindred spirit.

Kindred spirit? Well, maybe. Who can say? Perhaps we should swap notes and see if there's any more common ground.

Supreme Grand Inspector General is a sinister figure midway between a senior Cardinal of the 1500's and the Head of the KGB. He has a penchant for wearing dress uniforms with a cape, and a lot of black and silver insignia.

Even more unusual than my mother's telling me about the castration of pageboys was my encounter, in a real live household, with Simon's 11-year-old prototype (if he's still around he'll be an old man, as I am). One of those classic dirty-minded kids whose few little snippets of knowledge about sex leads him on and on to find out more. His voice comes to me over the years "Oh, I LOVE talking about this!" His choir school career was far from being a success and I'd been saying that if he had his balls pricked, so that they dried up and disappeared, he would automatically be able to sing much better. I suppose that's how the Simon series started.

How did you get to choose that title, though? My title is just bland old "Active Member". I notice some other people have "I Am Shy", and "Admin". Whatever.

I read a couple of your stories and they're meticulously crafted, for sure, but not what I am into.

One fantasy I had recently was of an old bull, like myself, falling into the clutches of the castratrix I described in my (best) story, "Castration Slut". Just a tired, lonely old bull looking for some companionship and tenderness.

But castrating young boys? Do you put yourself in their place? In your mind, are YOU that young boy?

Another fantasy I had lately is for a game show called "Masturbation Castration" that would be a version of "Simon Says". The contestants would be naked with their scrotum tightly bound in a castrating device so that when they lose they're instantly castrated and do the "castration dance" where they hop about doing a jig while they clutch their crotch and yell "OWEE-OWEE-OWEE-OWEE!" to the great amusement of the audience. Maybe this has already been done by Classy Bitch or someone.

Have a good one, Camper van Duesenberg.

I see. I didn't read your profile closely enough. Your interest is in seeing others castrated, not in having yourself done.

You can set your own by going to "user cp" then "edit details." At the bottom of that page, you'll see "Optional Information;" beneath that, you'll see "Custom User Title." That's where you change your user title.

Thanks, Slammr.

Yes there is one more. The first story that Doc Granger appears in is called 'Horse Trade' She was created for that story and she only appears in the second half after a stable hand lets a young girl ride a dangerous stallion.

Regarding 'Incident in the Brambles and 'The Cobbler's Tale'; I had been reading that P.G Wodehouse, writing in America, had set his stories of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves in an England that never really was. What a good idea, I thought. Don't let the facts get in the way of a good tale. So both of those stories are set in a (slightly) fictitious England, where it's always summer, always sunny and happy contented peasants touch their forelock to their betters.

I completely forgot "Horse Trade". I'm getting senile.

The Doc Granger in "Incident In The Brambles" is so hot. Like a living feral goddess of femininity who is entitled to take young men's masculinity casually and effortlessly.

The story wasn't that erotic for me, unfortunately. Castrating young boys doesn't appeal to me, and it was too short. Somehow, suspense is an essential ingredient for me.

I'll be re-reading some of your other stories to see what I can glean. "Moving Forward" seems like a good one.

Peter Sellers did a funny 4-minute audio thing called "Lord Badminton's Memoirs" about the golden days of the Edwardian era: "It is not everything, I fear, that has changed for the best." These Peter Sellers comedy routines influenced me a lot in my formative years. Maybe too much.
