It's Just a Collar (Complete - 7/19)

[MissAriel]

Thanks for the very enjoyable story, MissAriel. The ending was very satisfying as well: I have never liked bad endings where the girl's life is ruined, because they make me sad.

As a side note, while nude art modelling is a very common trope in ENF stories, I think it's one of the least embarrassing experiences in reality. Running a lap completely naked in front of your teammates is much worse! A nude model is supposed to be naked, so nobody really cares, especially not art students who are only focused on drawing.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the ending. I appreciate the feedback; it's comments like yours that keep me writing.

As for the nude art modeling, I can see where you're coming from, but I don't think it's inherently the activity that makes something embarrassing. For example, Lady Lucia has the lovely dancer story where a girl has to be a stripper for a night. There's nothing embarrassing about being being naked as a stripper. It's in the job description. Yet I think that story is quite a fantastic enf scenario.

Perhaps I did fail to make the art show as embarrassing as the naked lap and that's a fair criticism.

To share my thought process, I felt I needed to do something to Jennifer that would escalate the situation for her. But I didn't want to redo anything with the track team because a) repetitive and b) it wouldn't make sense to risk more trouble with coach burr. I decided I needed to introduce Jennifer's nudity to new people, but realistically it had to be somewhere there was a permissible reason to be nude. Because of the schools reaction to the mystery streaker and the crackdown on public nudity, it would've been difficult to write the chapter in public. If I write somewhere secluded like say the top floor of the library, the embarrassment wouldn't escalate as there would be no audience. If I write somewhere public with an audience, I have to address how Jennifer isn't being arrested/expelled.

The art show made a lot of sense to me as an embarrassment escalation for a few reasons. There were boys there which up until this point Jennifer hasn't been exposed to. She also had to surrender control of her body while being posed by other people, which is an escalation from the race track where she chose to uncover herself to feign confidence. And finally, that she was being recorded for the first time in ink.

Again, though, I totally understand where you're coming from. Sometimes things can be a little less sexy when the nudity is 'expected'. For example, I do not enjoy any story where the word 'wife' comes up, as any sort of nudity between a married couple is not very believable to me as enf. I could see how someone might feel that way about art modeling, too. Cheers.

One of the most fun things about enf stories is that the whole body shame thing is so arbitrary and slapped together. It has never made any sense, and no one's allowed to really discuss it, so its rules are extremely nebulous. Someone can resist being nude for a dozen different, contradictory reasons. And life (even real life, without even getting into fantasy situations of which there is an infinite supply for stories) provides a huge variety of opportunities and excuses to violate it. No two of them have to be the same.

Perhaps my previous comment was not clear enough, probably because English is not my first language.
I think MissAriel did a very good job of increasing Jennifer's shame. I also think that deep down Jennifer wanted to be exposed and humiliated, because otherwise she could have easily walked away.
I was simply reflecting on the fact that in real life being a nude model is not as embarrassing as it is portrayed in ENF stories, while running a lap completely naked obviously is!

Not sure if you were replying directly to me, but I was just musing on how little sense the rules make in real life, and how that provides for a wide variety of moods in these stories. Like basically anything is possible, there are so many little things in life that excuse nudity. And that's why I love the genre so much. As long as you give the right context, almost anything can be as embarrassing or as casual as you need it to be. And providing that context in the story makes the storytelling richer.

To go on a tangent, it reminds me of how people have noticed that any media involving incest, by its nature, must do more for characters than the bare minimum. Since you need to establish who they are, what the relationship is. Like there's no way for a single random image to be incest if there's no text or we don't know who these people are. It's kind of like that.
To write about embarrassment requires you to establish the rules of this specific situation. If it's exposure in front of family, you have to establish what the norm is for the family. If it's in front of friends, you have to establish how close and how casual they are with each other, etc.

Thank you, MissAriel, for this story <3

I love when a story is long and complex enough to make a satisfying read, but also does get wrapped up and ended—that's a part of the satisfaction.

And this one made for an amazing read. Love the dynamic between the two, loved the characters, the overall vibe, you got very creative when the roles got almost, but never quite switched. Some people are just natural born subs and aren't meant to lead, hehe

A really entertaining, sexy read. Thank you for the time spent writing, editing and sharing this!
