Praefectus Praetorio

R.I.P. Brother of the Quill
I shall list here, by date of writing, oldest to newest, every story that I have posted on Crux Forums. I will include links to the original story thread, the Archive and e-book version, as well as the cover art, and a helpful description of the story with tags.

I hope this helps those who are interested in my work to find examples.
 
My first effort at writing was shortly after joining CF. Back in 1962, when I was a wee shy lad, I ran across a men's pulp magazine in a gift shop. Being far too terrified to buy it, I suck reading the cover story in the back in segments. It always stuck with me as a core part of my SM fantasies. I never managed to get a copy in my later years, so I figured - why not write my own version (I do have a good memory) I inserted @Barbaria1 as the lead female and @Eulalia and @Kathy as supporting. Barbara read my drafts and made invaluable comments and suggestions.

Told by a jaded CIA agent concerning an adventure preceding the Bay of Pigs Invasion, saddled with a novice, young girl side-kick, named Barbara. It has a special place for me as my first BDSM story.

My second story was a short-short written as a love note to the fabulous @Kathy.

A little bit of BDSM to start the morning:

The Agent, The Angels, and The Mexican Connection

After the modest success of the "Fidelistas," I was interested in extended the story to a series starring the indomitable agent, Jewels, and his sex female associates. This time the story was invented out of whole cloth but again featuring a hook to real history. In this case the JFK Assassination. I need to thank @Jon Smithie for support, suggestions, and corrections. And @Madiosi for a manipulation which will be at the very end which is well worth waiting for.

Agent Jewel and his beautiful female agents (nicknames the "Angels") are assigned to break up a Mexican drug and prostitution ring. The White House has insisted that it be done before the President's upcoming visit to Texas.

Cynthia Wondered

My next, relatively short effort was another gift to a member. @cynthia the inocent joined CF about that time and as a welcoming present to her, I composed a story of a woman loosely based on her being enticed into a BDSM biker bar. There she encounters some life-changing experiences.

Palais-Royal Reno - A Study in the Modern Gaming Business

In October 2018, I started a story set in a modern casino in Reno, Nevada, a place and business I know well. I had grandiose designs for the story, involving a Russian-mob-controlled casino that caters to the perverted interests of the uber-wealthy and powerful (including a future UK Prime Minister) which have not been realized. I became interested in other threads and left this unfinished, though I hope to add chapters in the future. There is enough to give a taste of what was to come.

If you are interested in skimming the posted chapters, here is the original thread:

Gang Rape, A fantasy inspired by Kathy

Another short story inspired by and dedicated to the incomparable @Kathy . Her dream of walking dangerous streets dressed to attract men, evil men, and the consequences.

The Three Pears

A short and somewhat brutal story of a master using expanding pears in a slave girl's body. As the pain increases, so does her arousal. Very fantasy, yet perhaps very erotic. Not named, but @Kathy again provide inspiration

The Nude Nurse and the Master of the Whip.


My second most downloaded story (as of the date I write this), and one of my personal favorites. A very long tale of a young Scottish student nurse named @Eulalia Burns, who is taken by the secret police in Chile under Pinochet and subjected to extended and brutal physical and psychological torture. CIA Agent Jewels appears again. Warning: the cruel and brutal breaking of a young woman both mentally and physically.

"Agent Jewels races to save a girl from Torture and Death. Will he be in time?"
Eulalia Burns was a third-year student at The School of Nurse & Health Care at the University of Glasgow, working for a Bachelors of Nursing with Honours. A lineal descendent of the immortal Robert Burns (though by one of his seven children born out of wedlock), she had a strong amateur interest in poetry, but at her core was dedicated to helping people. Shortly after arriving at University, she had become active in the local chapter of Amnesty International.

A Slave's Diary
A Young Woman's Journey to Independence, Slavery, and, perhaps, Love

A new and totally out of character, at the time, attempt.
I have never been in a master/slave relationship in RL and don't want to be. However, I decided, because of interesting interactions here on CF with wonderful women who happen to be submissive, to try a story exploring these relationships. Technical assistance was provided by @Eulalia

The story is told in the form of daily diary entries (included the actual weather at the location on the date of posting - an unnamed, but possibly guessable place) of a slave, chronicling her life and recalling her journey into slavery.
Told by a young girl in a slave/master relationship with a much older man. More Romance than BDSM - to indulge my own incurable romanticism. It was an attempt to study the personalities and psychologies in a dom/sub relationship. I quickly fell in love with my protagonist, an independent and rebellious girl with undeniable submissive desires. I hope you do also.

A Master's Diary and A Slave's Love Notes

Two short sequels to a Slave's Diary. Both allowed to trail off without conclusion. The writer reserved the right to restart at any time.

If you enjoyed A Slave's Diary, you may wish to read these short additions. Same characters, different purposes.

Master's Diary extends the story from his point of view

Love Notes are missives from the master to the slave when he is away traveling. Usually, a BDSM image, followed by a short story or meditation on the image.

It's Good to be the Duke!

A short story, shamelessly stolen with minor edits from a posting on Bring Out the GIMP (Girls in Merciless Peril) http://ralphus.net/special/stories/moreauthors/ there listed as “Alice”, by Ed. At least it is attributed.

Featuring Barbara Karlson (@Barbaria1 ) and Duke Geoffrey Chaucer (with Wardress Erika von Heim ( and Lady Katherine (@Kathy ))

The plot to murder Duke Geoffrey Chaucer failed. As the Duke’s agents rounded up suspects, other scores were settled. Barbara Karlsson had unwisely refused the advances of the Sheriff. Now he easily induced a suspect to name her as a plotter. Wailing her ignorance and innocence, the beautiful young woman was taken to the ducal Keep. A day later, frantic with fear, she was brought to a luxurious waiting room to face the Duke still wearing the black and red dirndl dress she had on when the soldiers dragged her from her home. Standing at her side was a strong, blond-haired woman with a cruel look on her face, the ducal Wardress, Erika, a German. Another woman, Lady Katherine, Baroness of Newfoundland, a pretty brunette noblewoman, sat with him on a long low couch.

The Duke proceeds to put Barbara through an excruciatingly painful test.

Taken - A Fantasy?

A short story started with no inkling as to how it would proceed or end. I was just taken (pun unintended) by the concept of a rich, socially awkward guy (warning - I am only one of those). The hero (?) uses high-tech, untraceable techniques to kidnap a lonely college girl. He puts her through elaborate torments, mostly mental as a strange relationship develops between the two. Some of my irrepressible romantic instincts appear.

Operation TOF by Old Slave and P. Praetorius

Reports by Mossad Agents in São Paulo, Brazil, January 10, 1995, on the surveillance of two former Gestapo officers, living under assumed names in Brazil. The two meet for coffee and sweets once a week at an outdoor café. Audio surveillance and recordings capture their conversation. The story name comes from the code name for the operation which in turn was coined for the age of the targets (Two Old Farts).
The Gestapo men are,
Hans Bettleman, aka Antonio Oliveira, Obersturmbannführer, Gestapo Kriminalrat, 84, and Ernst Wagner, aka Carlos Silva, Sturmbannführer, Gestapo Kriminalrat, 82.

The two gentlemen recited four stories from their infamous past. I hope to add more sometime in the future.

This was one of my most treasured efforts here on CF, because I got to write in collaboration with @old slave . For that reason alone you should check this out!

Minnesota Moore and the Emperors' Treasure
Barbara Moore as You've Never Seen Her Before in a Sprawling Novel of History, Romance, Sex, Torture, and Treasure!

In the 1970s, a little-known author wrote a little-noticed book that a Hollywood producer (initials GL) stole to produce the mega-hit, Raiders of the Lost Ark. I was able to obtain the original book and, with the author's permission edited it to include some Cruxgirls (with @Barbaria1 in the title role) and update by several decades.

A swashbuckling adventure story spanning much of the European Continent and almost two thousand years.

A warning to readers: this is an extensive, full-length historical book. Be prepared for deep-dives into Medieval and ancient history as well as descriptive visits to Oxford University, Frankfurt am Main, Venice, and the Balkans, all told within a fascinating treasure hunt. The story is written in a light, flowing style which never bores. The author claims that all historical and geographical references are true, only the names of the characters changed for privacy concerns.

If you are interested, get in a comfortable chair, pour yourself a glass of fine single malt, and settle in for a long, cozy read.

Please note two prominent features. NO! not those, you perverts. I mean the silver and gold coins with images of Emperor Diocletian and Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who play key roles in the story.

The Nazi Lust Ordeal of the Virgin Belly Dancer

Another story inspired by a Men's Pulp Cover. I never read the magazine story, so what I wrote all came from my own, twisted mind. I became so involved with the characters, that I had to write an alternative ending.

"In the respected tradition of “The Agent, The Girl and The Fidelistas,” and “The Nude Nurse and the Master of the Whip,” we are pleased to present the newest Pulp Magazine story adaptation. It is a gripping and terrifying story of an Arabian Sheikh, his virgin daughter, and her slave-maid caught up in clutches of Nazi war criminals. The daughter, Aisha, is forced to perform a belly dance and more for her cruel captors. Will Abdullah, Aisha's betrothed, be able to rescue them? Will he be in time? Or will she suffer a fate worse than death?"

We get to learn about the traditions of Belly Dancing and of the important difference between the general Raqs sharqi and the more specific Raqsat alhijab. Eventually, we might encounter the Raqsat shakhatt, particularly appropriate for a young bride like Aisha. Be prepared for a liberal sprinkling of Arabic.

Featuring @Eulalia in a stunning portrayal of the Scottish slave-maid, Yawlali.

Nessun Problema, Capufamigghia!

Another story inspired by a pulp cover. A story of vicious retribution, set in Sicily. Like its narrator, “Curto”, it’s short and brutal. You have been warned. Also, be warned, that I've been told my smattering of Sicilian is rather poor here.

Crime and Punishment in Modern Singapore
or "Barb Needs Another Rest,"
Part I of Barbara's Singapore Saga

Pardon me, but there is a lot to explain here.

This started as a little, private gift to @Barbaria1. I was going to write a short episode of Barbara, on vacation in Singapore, being arrested for chewing gum and caned and then sent home on the fourteen-hour flight, sitting on her sore bottom. I know Barb likes fantasizing about being caned on her tight little. And she likes, even more, to stand up defiantly and resist unfair, unjust authority (an excellent chance to complain).
However, the character of Barb, the fascinating City-State of Singapore, and the intricacies of the criminal justice system there led the story to grow longer and longer and caused me to begin posting publicly.

The initial crime of gum-chewing rapidly escalated with Barb's complaints and lack of cooperation to her being jailed and suffering far more than initially intended. Many local characters appeared that also complicated the plot. As her time in Singapore drew to an end, matters arose that couldn't be concluded in this one story. Hence this became the first part of a large trilogy. So. be prepared to do a lot of reading.

Though I’ve never been there, I understand that The Republic of Singapore is a marvelous country and a fine place to visit. Unless, of course, you are a silly, spoiled, petulant child, habituated to complaining, lying, and defiance. Warning: this story contains frightening and menacing situations and brutal, but deserved, corporal punishment, however, NO sex.

I now shall go out of strict chronological order to list the rest of the Singapore Trilogy

A Capital Punishment Trial in Modern Singapore
Part II of Barb's Singapore Saga

The Sequel that had to be written! Ripped from the Headlines! A courtroom Drama! Barbara Barbaric Punishment! Not for the faint of heart!

In a rapid escalation from her original offense of gum-chewing, Barbara Moore may face charges of manslaughter or even murder.

The second part of the Trilogy moves to a broader and more sinister scene. Powerful forces in Singapore want Barbara to suffer. A dedicated team from the US Embassy leaps to her defense. With the growing complexity of forces, the chain of events soon is out of Barb's control as her actions no longer are the cause of her distress. Instead, she is caught up in a cruel and corrupt prison system.

The story climaxes in a stunning courtroom drama with Barb’s life on the line.

Imprisonment and Execution in Modern Singapore
Part III of Barb's Singapore Saga

Our story resumes directly after the end of Part II, March 25th, 2019. Let the incautious readers be warned, this will be as cheap, prurient, vulgar, unjust, and all-around ridiculous as its justly mocked predecessors.

All good (bad?) things must come to an end. The concluding part stretches out as the many plot lines and character lives needed to come together for a spectacular conclusion. The result of Barb's "Trial of the Century" only intensified the efforts of all to get their wishes. Barb suffers unspeakably in prison as other females are placing in great peril. You will be on the edge of your seat as you try to follow the labyrinthine plot twists moving toward a heart-stopping conclusion. Characters appear and characters depart, but none are forgettable.
