Charlie and Eric: Thanks for your kind words. Although I keep telling myself that Im writing for myself, that I dont care what others think, my frequent trips to the message board to see if anyone has posted comments about my stories, belie that assertion. Im glad youve enjoyed Tales of Pulkritude.
Although this is a cut and slash story-to post here someone much lose something, Ive tried to make it something more than just that. Theres plenty of sex, too, but, if boys were raised as Ive described, in an environment where there were no taboos and sex were encouraged, rather than repressed, I think that there would be.
I think that Pulkritude is plausible, given the conditions which Ive proposed, that men must be castrated to live. Would not women possibly regard men as do the women of Pulkritude? Im attempting to convey the despair that the men feel, the loss, of not only their balls, but the love that they experienced for each other while boys in the compound.
Ive come to care about the characters, to feel their pain.
As to where this will lead, I dont know. I enter each tale with some basic thoughts which come to me while riding my bike, or some other endeavor which allows my thoughts to flow. When I sit down at the keyboard, I never know, myself, how the tale will end.
