Writer's Commentary: Damsels Anonymous Volume 6: The Return of the Bikini Thief (Patreon)

Hello Patrons,

I'm back with another Writer's Commentary for you guys. Usually I drop these on Fridays but since I'm working on a few patron requests and on vacation, I'm giving this one to you guys a little early. As always, this Writer's Commentary is accompanied by the complete volume of Damsels Anonymous Volume 6. 

Damsels Anonymous Volume 6 might be my second favorite Damsels Anonymous story, as I had a ton of fun writing it and it features some of my favorite predicaments for our bondage prone ladies, with the chocolate fountain one being a particular favorite of mine. If you read my Damsels Anonymous volume 5 commentary, you would know that Volume 5 was written as a custom for a long time. After finishing writing it, the reader expressed interest in other Damsels Anonymous custom books. While I was open to the idea, I wanted to finish Volume 4 first, as I had set it aside to work on this custom since I needed cash. 

But we all know what they say about best laid plans of mice and men. I had made some headway on DA volume 4, but once again in late 2019 found myself needing some quick cash. Since this reader who had commissioned volume 5 had been inquiring (or should I say, harassing) about another custom, I reached out to him about writing another story. Being the creator of the Anya character, it seems that this reader was quite enamored with this woman he had created and wanted her to feature prominently again in this second story. This time, he proposed the idea of Anya forming an uneasy alliance with the women of the Marston's Pointe Sheriff's Department. 

His idea involved Anya becoming the target of bounty hunters after stealing from Ace at the end of volume 5 and thus having to go to the women of The Sheriff's Department for help, and he also came up with the idea of Ace throwing a bikini contest with a golden sling bikini as a prize as bait for Anya. Together, we hashed out the particulars of the story and what predicaments he wanted the girls to be in, and then I filled in the connecting story thread and off I went to write.

This story opens with a bang, with Anya being ambushed by two bounty hunters on the beach, loaded onto a stretcher, gagged, and transported by ambulance. For this situation, the client wanted to recreate a scene from the 1966 Batman show where Bruce Wayne is kidnapped in a similar fashion. As I said in a previous post, this particular client had a unique relationship with bondage scenes featuring men, as he claimed to hate them but would talk endlessly about them, and most the scenes he commissioned from me were recreations of male scenes but with scantily clad women. 

As for the bounty hunters, I decided to base one of them on Instgram model and fitness girl Toronica Jenkins, while the other would be based on Latina fitness model Maripily Rivera, a woman that I have been obsessed with for quite some time. Both of these characters function as just two of a series of antagonists in the story, and I had a lot of fun writing them. Even though they do most of the binding in this story, of course I had to tie them up at some point, as they get bound and gagged twice near the end. Of course another bounty hunter, Amanda, is introduced later in the story, as we find out she was posing as a contestant in the Golden Sling contest. Amanda was a very late addition to the story, as she was originally meant to be a throwaway character for only a few scenes but then I came up with the idea of her being another bounty hunter going undercover. This character is based on Australian fitness model Amandan Jane Garrity. 

What happens to these three lovely ladies is left up in the air, as they are bound and gagged in the back of a van after our girls make their escape. Will Ace be forgiving to these three after they lost his prizes? Only time will tell. I really enjoyed writing these characters and if ever an opportunity arises to use them again in another story I definitely will, but for the moment, what happens to them is up to the reader's imagination.

Speaking of reader's imagination, two characters that are conspicuously absent are Tanya and Shelly. Mainstays since the very first volume, this book marks the first time Tanya and Shelly have not appeared in a Damsels Anonymous book. When we last saw them, they were bound, gagged, naked, and being dragged behind a boat by Shelly's "ex-stepson" Brad, though when Brad went to pull both MILF's back on board, he found out that the line they had been tied to had snapped and there was no sign of the two naked captives anywhere. Neither woman appears in this story, nor do any of the characters know what happened to them, so why isn't the cliffhanger around these two resolved? The answer is quite simple: We simply didn't know how to fit them in the story. Since we couldn't come up with any scenarios for Tanya and Shelly, I didn't want to just shoehorn them into a book, and I liked the idea of leaving the reader to wonder what happened to them for a little bit, maybe cast some doubt on if they will ever return in a future story or if they both did indeed come to a watery end...

Once Anya arrives back in Marston's Pointe, she discovers that the girls are being held by one of their own, Eva, who decided to keep them as prisoners at the end of volume 5. Forming an uneasy alliance with Janet, they stage a daring rescue that involves Janet dressing as a belly dancer while also discovering that Eva was playing out a cannibal roleplay that involved Felicia being gagged with an apple and having a carrot up her bum. For this, I had seen a clip of fetish star Goldie Blair doing a belly dance while gagged and I loved that image and wanted to do something similar in a story. I've also always wanted to do a scenario where a damsel is tied up on a serving tray, oiled, gagged with an apple, and had a carrot up her butt. At first I almost wrote a scenario like this for Tanya in volume 3 but didn't think it fit, but I realized that for this story it could work since Eva is so kinky, and I wanted to give the sense that this was just the latest in a long string of humiliations she had visited upon the girls. 

It was always my plan to have the character of Eva "break bad" so to say and have her become an enemy to the girls of the Sheriff's Department, and this story sort of speeds that evolution along. We also see her relationship with Felicia evolve as well. I really liked the idea of Felicia wrestling with an attraction to Eva in the last book and I wanted to explore that more in this one. After they escape, the girls have Eva bound and gagged on a couch behind them as they debate their next move, vaguely inspired by an episode of The Real Ghostbusters where The Ghostbusters have Winston bound and gagged on a couch while they watch TV so he cant' spoil it for them. 

After this, we have the girls split, as Gina and Caitlyn go off to investigate a club, while Felicia is left alone with Anya. We get a bit of turnabout, as Felicia first binds and gags Anya and stuffs her in a trunk, but of course Anya gets her comeuppance. Anya being in the trunk and trying to use her watch to call for help was inspired by a scene from a Dick Tracy cartoon where the titular detective is in a similar predicament and wishes he could use his wrist radio to call for help but knows that since he's gagged that he wouldn't be able to talk clearly anyway. 

Felicia runs into trouble in the form of Blondie and his boys, who release Anya and tie and gag Felicia before putting her in the trunk. After using Blondie briefly in the last volume, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for him to make another appearance since the client and Destro both liked his character so much. Felicia being in the crate, tossed in the back of a garbage truck, and taken to a landfill was all the client's idea, as he has a "smelly" fetish and wanted a situation where Felicia was covered in filth while helpless. 

Cutting over to Gina and Caitlyn, they both go undercover at Ace's club, but of course, anytime our girls go undercover, they end up bound and gagged. For this, the client came up with the idea of Gina and Caitlyn being tied to batwing doors and gagged. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that a lot of fun could be had with these two as prisoners in a fetish club, and several scenarios ran through my mind, including both women being bound, gagged, and forced to serve drinks, and then also having their asses played like bongos while tied up. Then it suddenly hit me: The image of Gina and Caitlyn tied and gagged under a chocolate fountain while club members lick the chocolate off their bodies. I loved it, and then the more I thought about it, the more of the scenario came to me. Encasement is another thing that I'm a big fan of, and I loved the idea of the chocolate hardening on Gina and Caitlyn's bodies, and then I loved the idea of someone breaking into the club and stealing the encased women thinking they were sculptures. Originally I intended for this to be the end of the story, with Volume 6 ending on the cliffhanger of what would happen to Gina and Caitlyn next, but I decided against it and to have Gina and Caitlyn figure prominently in the climax of the story. 

Some major friction is thrown into Felicia and Janet's relationship courtesy of Eva. At first Eva ambushes Janet at her bar, ties and gags her, and then humiliates her in front of her patrons before having her butt chug quite a lot of alcohol. I came up with this after seeing the movie Blockers where John Cena's character butt-chugs a beer and thought it would be interesting if a character had to do that while bound and gagged. Later, Janet is bound and gagged in a closet while Felicia and Eva get hot and heavy, which is another scenario that I've wanted to do for a long time. I love the idea of a character being tied and gagged while two other characters have sex in front of them, of course though, Felicia doesn't know that Janet is in the closet. Later, we get Felicia and Eva tied back to back and pleasuring each other, an idea I got from a clip of two men tied in a similar predicament. 

This story ends with a rare victory for our girls, as they leave the three bounty hunters bound and gagged in the back of a van and make their escape with a helpless Anya and Eva in tow. Wallace, one of Ace's lackies, is arrested for the part he played in kidnapping Gina and Caitlyn. It's a small blow against Ace, but it's a start. I liked the idea of ending on a positive note, even though I love tying and humiliating our girls, every now and then they need a win. Felicia though can't catch a break, as even though she isn't kidnapped at the end of this, her and Janet break-up, meaning Felicia and Gina are now roommates, something that will have interesting implications...

As for Anya, she ends this story in police custody, though Gina decides to get a little revenge on the bikini thief by tying and gagging her and placing her in a cell with Eva. Originally, the client who commissioned this story had rather ambitious plans for Anya, eventually wanting her to become an ally to the Sheriff's Department, become romantically involved with Eva, and even get her own spin-off story at one point. Me and this client had a falling out though. After allowing him to play in this sandbox for a bit, he started behaving as if he had ownership over all of these characters and the story and started referring to them as "our girls" and tried to dictate where the story would go. I kindly informed him that these characters were mine and that I had the story planned out all the way to the end and while he was allowed to play with them, he still had to run everything by me. While he accepted that, the more we talked, the more I found his behavior, opinions, and politics abhorrent as time went on, and ran out of patience with him. Given that, this story is the last time the character of Anya will appear in a Damsels Anonymous story. Despite the bad blood between us, I did really enjoy these two stories and writing that character, but have no intentions of using her or any of his ideas after this.
