This is OJ, my account seems to be playing up.

I enjoyed the latest chapter as well.
I liked the way Marcy was robotized as compared to Alpha Woman and Valiant Girl. Marcy's fate seems much more permanent than the other two and you can just imagine the delicate circuitry infusing itself through Marcy's brain and spine. The thing about the helmet method is that if you take off the helmet, the control is broken. With this, I find it a much much better method. The spinal splint was great since I mentioned I liked it

It's a bit like the Borg from Star Trek but they were a bit of a turn-off for me because they were too extreme with their sickly skin and over-emphasis on mechanical parts. Also, they were of one hive mind whereas I prefer the servant to have one master. So the great thing about Marcy is the robotization went far enough to be effective but not so far as to be a turn-off like the Borg.

One thing I was wondering...can Marcy retain parts of her personality? Robo Woman and Robo Grrl are great for the mindless puppet types but perhaps Marcy doesn't need to be the "I repeat everything you say" type? You mention in one of the panels that Marcy is now a fusion of human and machine retaining the advantages of both. In this sense, I imagine Marcy as having free will. However, that free will has been altered by Sentius' programming so that she is completely committed to Twisted's cause and is confined within those parameters.

So for example, if Twisted were to tell her to solve a problem, she would be able to use her smarts that she had in her previous life and combine that with her new super-processing abilities. In other words, she wouldn't need to be spoon-fed orders the way the other robo minions are but would be capable of serving Twisted with some semi-autonomy and even speaking independently when the need arose. She may even be able to devise her own schemes that would help to further Twisted's cause.

A big button pusher for me would be for Marcy to be able to remember everything about her past life but simply not care anymore. Sort of like "in the days when I was inferior". It could even be "in the days before I was joined" since what Sentius did to her is essentially a "marriage" between the two. If I was Twisted though, I'd be wanting Marcy for myself and be relagating Sentius to merely Marcy's "working partner" (I'm sure Twisted could find other female subjects for Sentius' needs). Anyway, Marcy can use all her knowledge of technology and the police to further help Twisted's cause.

Thanks for the great story and I hope there will be another story arc sometime in the future. I'm looking forward to the final part where we see Marcy's future role in Twisted's organization (maybe a mole in the police?)And hopefully we'll see more of Twisted and the other robo minions with some hot and heavy action). I'm also interested to know what sort of costume you have planned for Marcy...I'm guessing skimpy enough to keep the implanted units exposed.

Thanks to Finister Foul as well for his great poser artwork. How long does it take on average to make one of those panels?

Just wanted to thank you folks for the GREAT superheroine MC stories. Your first two installments of "Twisted Tales" justified my subscription to this site. I see that you're carrying the banner forward with "Carnal Knowledge." Keep up the outstanding work.
Any chance you'll be posting a preview of what is to come?
Thanks, again. Back to lurking for me!

Thanks green. I'm very pleased to hear that you have enjoyed our work thus far. One of the reasons that I wanted to get into writing stories is that I saw the need for more good mind control comics, superheroine themed or not. Outside of some of Jpeger's work and that of a few others, there hasn't really been a lot to speak of, certainly not in comparison to the more universal fetishes of this genre like bondage or heroine peril.

The next installment of "Carnal Knowledge" is scheduled to be posted this Monday, October 31. I'll check with Finister and see if we can get a couple of sample images made in between posts to tide you over...

Thanks Green and Timo

After this Monday's update, perhaps Doc and I can whip up a short appetizer inbetween the following update.

Any particular fantasies come to mind, Green?

I haven't been a big fan of MC, although it a perfectly good way to dominate a person [read: woman], almost as good as bondage.

I was wondering something: when controlled, does the woman have any awareness of what is happening to her. but is powerless to do anything about it? Or is the period of control just a blank in her memory?

Either way can be very disturbing to the subject. Being aware, in the first case, that she is controlled and doing things she would normally not do and is horrified by. Or, in the second case, waking up to find herself in a situation [bound, naked, in a cage, etc.] and have no idea how she got there and concerned about what happened in the period she can't remember.

Of course, this inner torment would be very difficult to render in graphic form.

Any thoughts?

Good questions, Mike. In the "Twisted Tales" series I imagine that the women who have been 'robotized' have no idea what is happening to them while they are in Dr. Twisted's power. The computer (via the control helmets) has effectively sealed off the parts of their minds that contain free will, memories, emotions, or personality. They can think in very basic terms, which are mostly related to receiving, processing, and executing the commands beamed into their brains from the helmets. If the helmet is removed, so is the control over their minds. They slowly regain their senses, but have no recollection of what happened to them while acting as 'human robots'.

Now that is just what is happening in "Twisted Tales". There is a large segment of the mind control fetish that enjoys the idea of controlling a woman's body while her mind, still active, is effectively trapped inside and a wintess to the events that she cannot control. That's not quite my cup of tea, but I can on some levels understand the attraction.

That is the one that piques my interest. Could you point me towards some stories [text] that deal with that aspect of MC?

Certainly... there are literally hundreds of them. I suggest going to www.mcstories.com (the Erotic Mind Control Story Archive) and just clicking around until you find one. Try the 'humiliation' and 'non-consensual' categories for starters, but the categories are not by any means absolute. There's also a 'comic book: super hero/heroine' category with 40+ stories (including one of mine) that everyone might enjoy.

Thanks, I'll check out that site.

-Mike

Let me know if you find anything you like. I'm always checking that site out for new stories to read.

There must be more than 1000 stories there! It will take me some time to search through them....

I did find some X-Files stories that look interesting. The idea of controlling Scully's mind [and everything that goes with it] is intriguing.

-Mike

Actually, there are over 4,000 stories on that site. Approximately 4,170 last I checked. I am partial to the 'robotization' category myself. If you look hard enough, you may even find a familiar name among the authors...

Gee, that sounds like a hint.... now, what could that mean...

Wow, I don't know what to say other than it feels good to know that I'm not the only freak out there who enjoys this stuff.

I think I speak for all of us writers and artists when I say that the greatest compliment you can give is to spend your hard-earned money each month for a membership to our little club. It truly means a lot. It probably doesn't get said enough, but your patronage and feedback are very much appreciated.

You know what, OJ? You might have a point. Perhaps I have been shortsighted and have forgotten the 'erotic' part of 'erotic comics'. I guess I get too wrapped up in the mind control fantasy and telling the story and forget that a major appeal of these comics is the overt sexuality. I will try to work some of that into the end of "Carnal Knowledge". Thanks for taking the time to write.

Regarding the helmets, we chose them for RoboGrrl and RoboWoman specifically for their how gaudy and conspicuous they are. Dr. Twisted has become so cocky and full of himserlf that he doesn't see the need to disguise his 'creations'. When he sends them out on a mission, his is confident that they will leave no witnesses, so to speak.

I do have something a little different planned for Marcy, although you shouldn't necessarily judge her final appearance on that single cover page. That's more along the tradition of the cover exactly reflecting what happens in the story. You'll see when the "Carnal Knowledge" is over, I promise.

OJ,

You make a lot of great points, many of which I had not considered. I guess I can get too caught up in telling the backstory and forget about some of the 'important' parts of an erotic comic. While I have my reasons for doing things the way that I did, I am always open to suggestions on how to make the stories more appealing. I especially understand the idea of showing more about what happens to the robot women after they are transformed. I guess I always assume that there will be another chapter in which to show these things, and forget to show more in the current chapter. I also tend to think of the transformation scene as the climax of each chapter, when it doesn't necessarily have to be. I'll see what I can do to add more details to the end of future stories, starting with "Carnal Knowledge".

Thanks again for your input. It is very much appreciated. If you (or anyone else) would like to chat with me directly, my email and instant message information are on my profile.
