She Is Your Atsay. You Are Her Koya.

One of my newer things is out today from new local litjourno SPINDLE, a short interactive BDSM pornografia called ATSAY KILLER. It's the first of a planned trilogy featuring Inday and her Koya, enacting in a passion play of sorts the several collisions of class and gender inherent not only in the power structures of BDSM, porn, and household servitude, but also in the loopy oscillaty dynamics in the menage a trois of reader and writer and text, all in a short story about spanking the maid.

It's also a part of my running project on writing genre stories and novels but doing them in forms other than mere prose on page: ATSAY KILLER is my interactive porn story, SNIP (another hypertext) is my torture horror story, ITEM MITE EMIT TIME (a nivola) is my post-apocalyptic hard scifi story; I am very nearly finished with DEADLIMAN (another interactive novel), my survival horror story (soon, just two rooms of code away!); I'm currently prepping (to maybe re-edit) my romance novel THE LONG WEEKEND (a set of four twenty-hour-komix), an existential dark fantasy komix Apol Sta Maria and I have been planning to do, a soft scifi xeno-paleo-anthro novel (planned to be another interactive novel), a murder mystery cycle based on the Vizconde Massacre (planned to be a podcast), and a Mindanao war story (planned to be a box of eulogical ephemera). Lots of plans! I expect to be doing these things in the next two to three years. All of these stories are meant to be interconnected in the same way that Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion books and characters - Elric, Hawksmoon, Cornelius, etc - are all interconnected. Allow me my pretentions!!!

But today, it's ATSAY KILLER's debut. I'm hoping I'll be finished with the second one before September, and with the third one this Christmas. I gave myself a constraint for this story - one room, two characters - and as usual, I tried my best. Hopefully, it'll make some peeps try out either interactive fiction (which I plan to teach in a workshop soon) and/or BDSM (no planned workshops for this ... yet).

I'd like to thank the SPINDLE peeps for being so patient with me and this text, most especially April and Clara, and Pepito. Salamat talaga! More power to you! New Pinoy Writing FTW!
