The Big Dragonverse

Disappointingly enough, not many people have picked up on the fact that most of my erotic fiction and muscle stories are actually set in the same universe and there is a lot of give-and-take between the stories.

Each story contributed one big element.

BIG DRAGON kicked the whole thing off, gets everybody off into the swing of things, and introduced the idea of the reality-changing rings.

CONFESSIONS OF A MUSCLE STUD GROUPIE, among other things, introduced the idea of Beast-Gods, the weird ancient history of the universe, and the mystery-project headed by the as yet unknown Tsarina. It also gave the first clues as to the Big Dragon rings' origins.

ARMS OF STEEL: THE LOST CRUSADE gave us Teddy Roosevelt (a major figure whose backstory was hinted at), the nation of Rupalistan, and discussed the idea of the "Dreamtime." It also established that Emil, from Funbird's story, is definitively in the "Big Dragonverse."

MY BOYFRIEND IS A BARBARIAN! has a connection to the rest of the stories that is, as yet, unrevealed but will be more apparent as the serial story continues.

BIG DRAGON III, BIG DRAGON: MODERN THESEUS is a story in progress, and has many more connections to the rest that are as yet unrevealed. This is where everything gets put together. There are connections to ARMS OF STEEL, not just a casual mention of Rupalistan.


One might argue all this is unecessary for what are, basically, fuck stories about muscle gods. Maybe that's true...but the sex stories I always liked were ones like Morpheus. Now, I don't share his fetish for transfer, but Morpheus wrote the best fetish fiction around, because he had stories with a definite beginning, middle and end, long-term development, and he had surprising, unpredictable characters. I said to myself, "hey, I'd like to write stories like that."

Oh, I love all those stories! I've thought for years that there should be more parts to them and keep hoping you'll write more.
