Okay, so everyone knows Loki Renard, right? The “Doctor of Spanking”? The Mistress of Kink? The one who writes kick-ass F/F discipline and even some M/M discipline now. THAT Loki.
Anyway, so she just completed another story in the Bucket series. Woo-hoo! It just blew my socks off. Really excellent and a complete surprise in so many ways. (It also left me scratching my head as to what’s going to happen next, but that’s beside the point. *g*) I think we should all keep buying her books so she has time to slip in freebies like this one. π
If you love it as much as I do, please be sure to let her know. I think that the fact that she wrote it in less than two hours was a bit of bratty showing off, but I will overlook that just because it’s such a brilliant tale. π
Oh, and you can find it on the Stories page under The Bucket Series, or just click here.
Nu uh. It took way more than two hours. At least four. Four hours of *intense*, not remotely bratty effort. Early in the morning. Nose to the grindstone. Burning the midnight oil. Toiling away like like a spanky elf. A very toppy spanking elf.
Whee this is awesome!! thanks Loki!
Yeah cranking out something of this quality in four hours is TOTALLY showing off. but I have no problem with that. π
When you consider that the Lord of the Rings series was written over the course of a short weekend*, one can see how much more time was expended, per word, into this story.
*Some facts in this post may have been fabricated.
Wow, this is great! Thank you Loki. Unexpected for sure and sweet at times. π I’m so looking forward to HOW these two might manage to get themselves out of this, er… delightful plot, alive. Heheeh.
Alyx’s turn now, yes? π
Aw thank you SP π As you say, it is Ayx’s turn next, so it is her decision as to how they get out of things. Though I must say, I have never seen a brilliant bold escape met with such timidity. Imagine if, at the end of Shawshank Redemption, instead of standing the rain, arms outstretched to freedom, Andy Duphraine had muttered about the inconvenience of it all π
*ahem* I’m assuming you were referring to Callie’s timidity rather than mine! However I think it’s a mark of how well you’ve drawn the characters that both of us are doing this:

This is too cute!!! Looks a bit like my kitten Yolkie, but rounder. Love it! π
I know what you mean. *wink* Callie should just grab the freedom card and run with it! Like Thelma and Louise, I imagine Ms. Millicent Lemon (well, maybe a more dignified name? lol) and the Fish on their journey to freedom. The spirit, not the ending though cause we want them alive! π
Love this story, an excellent beginning!
Freedom is a truly wonderful thing, at least until Callie discovers that the real world is just as much of a prison as The Bucket. I pity poor little Loki when that happens!
As for the next chapter, Loki can you please, please maybe spare an hour or two and help out. I know It’s technically Alyx’s turn, but she’s still floating about, scratching her napper five days later!!
Sandy.
Where have all your other readers buggered off to??
Y’know, I’ve wondered that meself, Sandy. And to be honest, I’ve decided to take a break and not post any new stories for awhile. You (*hug*) and a handful of others are loyal readers who show their appreciation, but otherwise I think my stories are taken for granted these days. It’s human nature — when something is free it’s not as valued. But I’ll be back in a bit…after a break. Oh, and I do still plan to post blog observations occasionally. In fact I have a bunch more hilarious search words to put up one day! π
Please don’t think you’re taken for granted, Alyx…You’re site is the one I went to over and over again for a couple of years before I finally took the plunge and delurked…it was because of your stories and your great sense of humor that made me feel safe enough to come out and say HEY…Thank you for that, boss lady…
You’re not one of those I was referring to, Micah. *cuddle* Thanks for that and I’m glad you enjoy my site. Most of all, I’m glad you’ve come out and joined us all! π
Alyx…you are SO not taken for granted! I think you are just wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to write and share with all of us. Micah is right, (though I hate to say it), you give some of us the courage to delurk and open up to the wider world. Thanks, Alyx, for all your stories. I should have said it sooner.
Thank you for your sweet words, Tigger. I wasn’t trying to get everyone to come ’round and console me, honest. π I was just trying to explain why I’ll be taking a small break from writing stories. And I am very glad you are one of those that delurked too! *hug*
Alyx said “In fact I have a bunch more hilarious search words to put up one day!”
Oh, do post those please. The last batch was hilarious!! lol And I did see the thread on SD too. Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah They were very very creative. π (Maybe this time you oughtta put up a stern warning? Heheheh or maybe not.) *wink*
Always your loyal reader … *nod & hug*
Hope you are having a good day!
The brats on SD were very naughty, using that excuse to gain revenge on an overworked top. π But a stern warning would only encourage them, I fear.
Yes, you are my loyal reader, and only twice as naughty as the rest. π *hug back*
Missy, you’re lucky when I looked up “napper” it said it was Brit slang for head and not some other body part! *glare*
Look up “bahookie”, I bet you anything that’s what you thought napper meant!!
And shame on you for even thinking I would say that…I’m much too polite!
Ah yes, “bahookie” is what I thought I might find it meant, but I should’ve known better. You were the one who remonstrated me for coarse language once before, weren’t you? π
Thanks to you I now know two bits of slang for when I go back to Scotland. D’you think anyone would take offense if I got them mixed up? π
Haha, Sandy, you and your cheekiness. Loki isn’t that little, she knows that life is what you make of it. Nude imaging body scanners aside π
It’s definitely not the done thing to go about writing other people’s chapters for them, we will have to be patient, you do know that the most wonderful things percolate in Alyx’s mind when she is left to do things in her own time.
Definatley not taken for granted. I love Alyx and Loke stories (and some others too π ) and always look forward to reading more π
Loke, I like it. It can be a secret back up identity for when life gets too sticky π
*ticks bystander off the good brats and bottoms register* good news, Christmas will come for you this year!
Thank you, Bystander. I’m happy you had to guts to come out and join us as well. *hug* (Loki has a new story up, btw. I think it’s pretty damn awesome…be sure to check it out. π )
Please excuse the spelling…i meant to put Loki
Yay, i get christmas lol….i should make mistakes more often haha π
story was fab, thankyou for sharing it π
Can’t wait to read more from either of you π
And thankyou Alyx for the kind words, very much appreciated π
Alyx,
I have always enjoyed your stories and treasure them very much. Though I know it is not like you to seek a pat on the back, you have earned several kudos for all that you have done, not only in the story category. So, a big hug headed your way (I’m usually not one for hugs, but you are a special case.) and thank you X infinity. Enjoy the break.
1Chicklet, thank you very much for your kind words. π And a big *hug* back to you. I shall enjoy the break, but will working on all those fantasies which provide the inspiration. You know how it is. π
Alyx, i have been enjoying your stories for just a few days. Don’t stay away too long you never know what us brats could get into w/out the proper supervision that you and the other tops provide.WEG.
I’m glad you’re enjoying my stories, Ney. And I see that you’ve signed up over on the SD Forum. Hopefully that should keep you out of trouble until I start writing again. π
