I really enjoyed reading ‘The Trophy’. Especially the last part. Is there a chance you’ll be making something similair in the near future? Or was it too extreme in retrospect?

I don’t think it was too extreme, no. I mean, it was very extreme, don’t get me wrong, but most of the stories that end up going to those sorts of extreme ends don’t really start out headed in that direction.

“The Trophy” was initially just going to be a fairly standard straight to gay slave story with a large amount of humiliation focused on cutting the guy’s hair. It wasn’t until the guy cut his prey’s finger off that I realized the character would hardly be interested in stopping at just turning him into a slave. Everything else emerged as a consequence of that particular choice. 

So, to answer your questions more directly:

Will I be making something like that in the *near* future? – I don’t know. I never plan on writing the extreme stuff really, I just follow the story where it wants to go.

Will I be writing something like that in the *future*? – Almost certainly. If you have a particular idea that you’d like to see explored that might jump start my imagination, that would probably accelerate the process.

Was it too extreme in retrospect (and implied here, was it too extreme to repeat?) – I don’t think so. It is one of the stranger things I’ve written for sure, but at this point I don’t really have much interest in censoring myself as far as horror elements go.
