Then End Of the Favor

OK, I know I've been a bad boy. I've been gone for quite a while, but I've been having fun for most of it, so I'm not that sorry. On the other hand, I have received so many great emails, some begging, that I did feel bad. Of course, those that told me how good it was, and that they couldn't live without it ... well, aren't we all mostly ego ;-)

In addition to all that, I am a reader of my own work, and I didn't know how Favor ended, so I was very interested as well! Finally, though, I was able to sit down and pound out the ending. I'm happy with the way it ended, though I think there is a lot more to be said about these characters. It always seems when I write something that I can't tell everything that there is to tell about the story, but I guess that is what a sequel is for, or spin-offs, side adventures, back stories, etc. I don't know if I will do any soon, but I'm open to ideas and suggestions, perhaps even collaboration.

Before I start thanking people individually for Favor, I want to thank everyone who voted for Tired of Being a Nice Guy, which won the Golden Clitoride for Best BDSM story! It made me feel so loved!

This story received a lot more help than my previous ones. First and foremost, I need to thank Peter Z for his excellent editing. He kept up with me, correcting and improving my work. My entire body of work would be much poorer without his help.

There were large parts of this story that we based on comments and ideas from my readers. Many readers sent me suggestions that didn't make it in, usually because I couldn't figure out how to insert them appropriately, or I felt that they just didn't fit into the story. Some of those ideas may become part of another story; one already has.

I'd like to give credit to Harry Carton, for helping me build the dungeon and for the Halloween chapter; for the principal's office, to sofla69 and David Scott (didn't come out exactly as you had suggested, but oh well!); and to Kelly Anne for the Cheerleader. Also thanks to Kelly Anne, David and Rex for ideas that they gave that made their way into the story in little, but important, ways.

Thanks to: Bully, David Scott and Rex Praedo, for comments and encouragements on most chapters, as well as prodding me for more chapters!

I'd like to especially thank those readers who kept sending me encouraging comments. They kept me interested in finishing the story. You all know who you are!

This is the point where I ask you what you thought. If you've gotten this far, you probably didn't hate it. But what did you like about it? What struck a chord? What do you want to see me write about next? The comments that I get are what feed into the next story, so if you want more, tell me what you think!

I have a couple of stories on the back burner, but nothing that is compelling me to write, so it may be a while before you hear from me again. Then again, maybe inspiration will arrive sooner than I think ...
