Some of the best...

I've read authoritarian stories since I was 14 and an older guy online sent me a link to a story on nifty. I don't remember what it was but it led me to this giant library of a world I'd never really thought of. 

Two years ago, I stumbled across the Bred Slave series

The storyline of a boy coming from two parents who are slaves was an interesting concept. More than that, the characters seem real. The author doesn't waste a lot of time spelling out their heights, weights, likes, dislikes, no personal ad writing. The characterization is done through continuity in the 17 chapter story line. The characters react the same in chapter 1 or 2 as they would in the final chapters, unless there has been something to explain their shift in character. It's really well done. 

The author publishes a new chapter every six months or so. It's always a schedule clearer when I see one pop up. 

Though sadly, he's never responded to any email I've sent him. But maybe that just adds to his appeal... 

What are your favorites?

  2. I hope he does write more! He has a great gift. I can get through a whole chapter and love it and then realize there wasn't any sex really. The writing stands on its own without it.
