I had received some good technical suggestions on writing from a couple of the experienced authors on this site (which, by the way, is one of the really wonderful things about this community!) and decided it was worthwhile going through and fixing some of my earlier postings. The suggestions had to do, primarily, with paragraph breaks and nuances relating to punctuation, not substance.

I started with Duet, and the experience was a bit disconcerting. One of the primary characters in Duet was the protagonist in the sequel that I wrote after Duet was done. I realized that both the character and the tenor of the story had evolved quite a bit while I was writing the sequel, but I hadn't realized quite how much until I went back and did a line-by-line.

I went back and forth on this. Quite a few more people had read Duet than read the sequel; quite a few more people had liked the sequel than liked Duet (proving, once again, that the perversity of life tends to a maximum). Was it fair to those who liked Duet as it was to change it? Hem haw, haw hem.

Well, I made some changes. The story is intact, and it's still got femdom elements that many people won't care for, but were nonetheless important to the arc of the story. But, I dialed it way back. I think it now forms a somewhat more harmonious read with the later work, and at the end of the day I feel better about it. For anyone who disagrees, and preferred the original version, I apologize.
