There's no telling what is going to inspire me and create a story. Sometimes it's my own twisted version of a movie or scene from a book. Sometimes it's as simple as a picture. 

Women as pets, women as degraded animals. Yes, it's a subject I've written about several times. And this picture, and a few others like it, have inspired me to write a few more. One is about a world where debt bondage exists (well, it exists now, but only in a few third world countries), and a young college grad who can't pay her debts is "bought" as a debt servant by an evil lawyer. Another is a semi-incest book where a lesbian moves in with a submissive women and begins to turn both she and her daughter into pets.

I came across these drawings a couple of weeks back, and they've inspired me to take a new look at the whole white slave in Arabia thing, being more cruel than usual for me. Why not? There's a lot of anger, rage and savagery over there these days.

Why did the picture below inspire me? I can't say. But it inspired me to do a nasty scene in a dark cave, and because this is a picture of a well-known Star Trek actress, it inspired me to do the story as a science fiction story. Now SF erotica doesn't sell as well as straight erotica, which is one of the reasons I don't write it much. But there is a freedom to writing in a made-up world, in doing things which wouldn't be possible here. So I can let my feverish imagination come up with perverted little scenes which would otherwise be impossible.

So what else could inspire me, now that I've got a lovely maiden in a futuristic cave somewhere? Something as demented as... this?

Oh, yes, there are a lot of strange scenes which can be written in a science fiction story. You just need a little inspiration.

Of course, you can't set a whole story in a tunnel, however interesting the neighbours. But there are all sorts of other things one can come up with in a future universe to thrill the perverted fans of Argus. And when I'm done, you'll get to see them!
