| Central Point High School - A New Series by Jack | |
| By: Jack Date: August 8, 2022, 4:56 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| in case there's anyone here who is interested, but doesn't check | |
| MMSA on a regular basis, I wanted to mention that I have a new | |
| series. | |
| https://malespank.net/viewStory.php?id=51588&login=author | |
| To be clear, this is NOT a spanking story. There are spankings | |
| in almost every chapter, and I try to make them hot, | |
| interesting, and relevant, but this is intended to be a high | |
| school soap opera, where a lot of the characters happen to be | |
| gay and many of them happen to be into spanking. Sure, it's | |
| wish fulfillment, but hopefully it's interesting wish | |
| fulfillment. | |
| Originally, this was intended to be ten chapters, but it ended | |
| up at twelve, and those twelve are over 70,000 words, so it's | |
| definitely novel length. In case you didn't guess, that means I | |
| did write the entire first Season before I began posting it, to | |
| be sure I wouldn't become discouraged and quit partway through. | |
| I have called these first twelve chapters 'Season One' and it | |
| ends on a cliffhanger. I wasn't sure if I was going to continue | |
| or not, but I've had enough fun with it that I've already | |
| started writing Season two. | |
| I also want to take a minute to thank Adric, who's been my | |
| editor for this series (and other writing) as well as Zac and | |
| Kier, who've been beta readers and helped a lot with feedback | |
| and continuity. | |
| Hope that, if you check it out, you enjoy it. | |
| Thanks | |

| You will want to read this one. I mean I love everything Jack | |
| writes but this one is special for a number of reasons. | |
| One it's new. How long has it been since Jack wrote something | |
| new? I don't know. | |
| But the main reason I'm having fun with this story is that Jack | |
| is going to have the entire student population in this thing. | |
| (Exaggerating) (I think) and yet each and every character it | |
| distinct and most importantly you can keep them all clear in | |
| your head. | |

| It really IS excellent. So good that, having beta read it, I am | |
| rereading each chapter as it posts on MMSA. I can't wait for | |
| series 2. | |

| It appeared a few days ago but somehow came in under my radar | |

| The first five episodes of this series have now been posted, and | |
| I have to admit that, while I'd love more feedback, I'm | |
| extremely happy with the number of readers who've stayed with | |
| the series this long. | |
| REQUEST AND DISCUSSION: | |
| It's interesting to me that, of the five episodes currently | |
| posted, three of them received a staff recommendation. Now, I | |
| don't know if these were all reviewed by the same person or not, | |
| but I'd be interested in hearing what anyone thinks about | |
| reasons that some of them were recommended and others weren't. | |
| I have my own ideas, but I'd like to hear yours first. | |
| Thanks, | |
| Jack | |

| Jack, I find that same thing with my stores, especially the | |
| series. | |
| Some will have the Staff Recommendation and others won't and | |
| they were all usually written at the same time, just broken up | |
| into series. | |
| My thought about this is that it depends on who reviews it. Now | |
| I rarely know who reviews my stories. Occasionally a reviewer | |
| will send me feedback and tell me they reviewed and liked the | |
| story, so those I know, but most I don't. | |
| I do find it odd, when I will write a story in two hours and | |
| send it in, and it gets a Staff Recommendation, and I will spend | |
| weeks going over and over another story to get everything just | |
| right and no Recommendation. | |
| The only way I can explain that happening is different | |
| reviewers. Which makes sense, because each reviewer has their | |
| own personal taste in a story. Being a reviewer, I would assume | |
| that review stories that aren't their personal taste, so it | |
| would only make sense they wouldn't put their own recommendation | |
| on a story that isn't of their taste. | |
| I know I could never be a reviewer. There are many reasons why, | |
| but one of those reasons, I only read stories that I find | |
| personally desirous. I mean I read stories from a lot of | |
| authors, but not all the stories written for a particular | |
| author. Some stories are in my wheelhouse and others aren't, | |
| even those written from the same author. | |

| I just wanted to make a couple of announcements here. | |
| First, let me remind readers that the Raven's Guide to CPHS is | |
| available here - | |
| https://docs.google.com/document/d/19-Q08ldlpMVjux2_Pg2VSkCtISrfyUoDDI0jnDjHGCQ… | |
| Second, I'm happy to announce that all of season three has now | |
| been submitted and the last five episodes should be appearing | |
| over the next month or so. S03 is actually longer than the | |
| first two at 16 chapters. A lot of the reason for that is, I | |
| burned out while writing season two and just jumped to a close, | |
| rather than leaving things hanging. At that time, I really | |
| didn't plan to come back to it. However, like Dad and Me, I | |
| really enjoy these characters. However, that meant S03 had to | |
| explore and explain a number of things that were supposed to | |
| happen at the end of S02. | |
| Finally - I'm also happy to announce that I started the actual | |
| writing of S04 today. | |

| Happy to hear the announcement. Excited to pre-read the new | |
| season chapters, and then get to read them again on MMSA. | |
