The Deal (Kaitlyn Bringhurst) - A Review

Part One - The Author

The author is one who was active on Amazon between November of 2012 and September of 2016 and published fiction dealing with a number of fetishes, the majority of which seem to be smoking fetish stories. To quote their Amazon biography:

"I'm hopelessly addicted to writing. My works vary and are generally considered speculative fiction. I enjoy mixing genres, thus you will often see elements of romance, time-travel, historical themes, erotica, thriller, horror, supernatural and paranormal, drama, humor, and more in my writing--really anything I think I can pull off!..."

This same bio also notes that the author has an obsession "...with the Victorian era, along with the early decades of the twentieth century, you'll often see a nod to Victorian times or "the Jazz Age" in my works because it is so much a part of my life."

Part Two - The Deal

Sarah, a devoted smoker has a problem, her 14 year old daughter, Hannah's anti-smoking push is becoming increasingly annoying. However Sarah has an idea about how to solve that problem.

Part Three - Comments

The title chosen is that of an early smoking fetish story An02's 1995 tale(1) that spawned two 'reprises' of the ending one by an author using the nym Don and the other by an author who's nym was An284773. It also spawned a quasi-sequel 'Metamorphosis' by An443252 which featured the characters from 'The Deal' in secondary roles.(2).

An02's story falls into the 'Blackmail' category, in this type of story a character is asked to perform a specific action, in this case start smoking, in exchange for a reward. An443252's 'Metamorphosis' also has a blackmail plotline, with a daughter demanding a mother try smoking for a period of time in exchange for a promise that both will quit the habit if the mother choses not to continue with smoking.

Bringhurst's plot is however more akin to the 'swapping of vices' plotlines in Tjhcmp1's 'Proposition for Jill'(3) and SStoryman's 'Transformation of Angela'(4) with the mother agreeing to quit smoking for a month in exchange for the daughter trying smoking for a month.

To the authors credit they make the outcome of the deal not quite what the average fetishist would expect. The writing is competent and I give this one a soft recommendation.
