Pleasure Cruise 
         
        This is actually a collection of stories written around a common
    premise:  a hypnoerotic-themed Caribbean cruise.  Each piece can stand
    on its own, but you'll find a number of recurring characters and themes and
    interwoven events throughout.   You can read the individual parts
    through the links below, or download
    the whole collection in PDF form.
        The original Pleasure Cruise stories were written by me and artie. 
    Since then, other authors have asked about contributing pieces and two have
    actually done so.  The Cruise is open to any author who wants to
    participate, provided you're willing to abide by a few simple rules.

        The Rules 
         
        From time to time, authors contact me asking if they can write stories and
    add them to the Pleasure Cruise series.   In general, the
    answer is yes --  but there are some rules that apply to all prospective
    additions.  These rules are not meant to limit you, but to act as
    guidelines to ensure that the new pieces blend smoothly into the work as a
    whole.
        
      - Be faithful to the people, events, and realities that have already been
        defined in the existing stories.  It's okay to borrow existing
        characters as long as you remain true to their established personalities and
        appearances; it's okay (even encouraged) to make reference to known events
        as long as you don't contradict something that has already been written
        (such as having someone other than Suzerain headlining on the second night,
        or inventing cabin numbers and locations that don't jibe with the existing
        descriptions of how the ship is laid out).
 
      - Any character, location, or event that hasn't already been defined by
        another story is fair game.  That includes the ship's crew and
        performing talent.  Similarly, any detail about the ship or the program
        that hasn't already been documented can be made up to suit your purposes as
        long as you don't contradict anything already invented.
 
      - A major component of all Pleasure Cruise stories is the way they integrate
        together.  Each part is a separate storyline, but they each contain
        small details or references to people or events from other chapters -- those
        references are what glue the different parts together into a cohesive
        whole.  When possible, new stories are expected to continue this
        practice.
 
      - Before you post the story anywhere, artie and I need to see it.  We
        will make the final decision on whether or not the story can be posted as
        part of the Pleasure Cruise series based on whether we think it's a
        good fit. 
 
        
        If your story is accepted for addition to the series, artie and I will
    determine where in the order of stories it fits (if you have a place in mind,
    suggest it).  I ask that, at a minimum, it be posted to Simon bar
    Sinister's Erotic Mind Control Story Archive. 
    You can also post it anywhere else that you like -- it's your story, after all
    -- but the EMCSA is a requirement.  (Note:  this means
    your story will have to meet Simon's requirements for posting on his
    board.   See his FAQ
    for details on those requirements.)  I will probably also ask your
    permission to add the new piece to the downloadable
    PDF.
