Research on medications - anxiety, compliance

Writing a long (very long) story, and I need to find some information on medications.

Without hypnosis (I won't use that), I need to find a medication for a story. The main character is being really put through the wringer, and while he has significant motivation to comply with the 'torture', there's suggestion that additional 'help' to ensure compliance / reduce defiance would be needed. It needs to:

antidepressant
mood stabilization
increase sense of compliance
reduce ability to be defiant or objectionable

I need a fill-in story reviewer / possible collaborator

I have a long story in work that Dawn Jehs was reviewing / collaborating with me on. As a previous post noted, I haven't heard from her for many months, and the lack of someone from whom I can get feedback has really affected my writing. While I don't want to replace Dawn's role, I do need to get someone to assist with this. The role is reviewing chapters or sections as they get written, reviewing / assisting with the story outline, offering suggestions, and generally helping keep me on track.

Missing collaborator

Has anyone heard from Dawn Jehs (author of Stick-Her-Shock and Stick-Her-Shock 2)? She's been collaborating / co-authoring a lengthy novel I'm in the middle of. A couple of months ago, she said she wasn't feeling well, Since then, I haven't gotten any response to e-mails. I'm worried - not for her contributions / collaboration, but for her personally. With the pandemic, it's a little more worrisome than normal. If you've heard from her, please let me know.

Research for story - facial feminization surgery

I'm writing a rather lengthy story (working on it interspersed with Whateley) and I have some questions relating to facial feminization surgery. I've looked up what I can on-line, but I'd like to gather more data.

I've identified the following procedures:
brow reduction, eyebrow lift, hairline alteration, rhinoplasty, cheek implants, lip lift, lip injections/implants (minor amount), chin reshaping, jawline reshaping, tracheal shave. others?

Need reviewer for novel-length story that's in work

I have a collaborator (you know who you are, and you're doing a great job!) who's helping write a new story - it's in work when I find time. Not sure if I'll try to publish for revenue (earn a few $$$) or publish it serially here.

The problem I have is that sometimes I get a little too verbose, and I need someone who can read and then say "this section or paragraph is not needed" or "tighten up the long, boring dialog" or "why don't you narrate it instead of doing the longer dialog thing?" Also any obvious "WTF? This could NEVER happen!" bits.

Preview of my latest project

I've been a bit busy, and the whole recovery thing from Hurricane Harvey is very slow, laborious, and the conditions keep making me sick. 14 months and counting until our house and lives are whole again - or as close as possible. While I've been very much slowed, I have been working on a few projects. I figured y'all might like a preview of one tiny bit of this already-massive project. It's quite likely that I'll try to sell it. It's tentatively titled "Corporate Coup"

Idea for collaboration

I’ve been thinking about a couple of items; the primary one is to find a collaborator who does 3-d graphic “novels” or stories, to work with to do a rewrite/adaptation of one of my stories or universes into a graphic novel. Possibly to sell if that interests an artist (with me taking only a small share; i know that art is hard and time-consuming).

If I do this, what story would you readers like to see as a graphic novel?

I'm still here - and thoughts on a nagging idea

It's been 5 months since I posted? How times flies when you're NOT having fun. This flood repair stuff is getting VERY old. To get a quality contractor means getting your name on a wait list and then trying to be patient. Add in that the mold and dust and normal allergens have my sinuses messed up, and it gets even more un-fun. I'm on my sixth or seventh course of antibiotics for upper respiratory infections. But today we got cabinets! It is making progress slowly, so that's a bit encouraging.

"Watch it!" Dump Truck exclaimed, having come around the corner of Schuster Hall and running directly into Danny. "You should watch where you're going!"

"You ran into me!" Danny protested, already thinking of how to escape the bully.

Assistance on a story - legal perspective

My muse has me writing a story that is turning into a novel-length epic. Workplace situation, contract, etc.
What I'd like is for someone who has some familiarity with the US legal system to review the setup to make sure I'm not making any dumb mistakes. I'm trying to quite thoroughly box in the main character, but if it's too far-fetched, I'll need to modify it.

Kayda 9: Crying for a Dream

by ElrodW

Part 1


On a night as I lay sleeping, in a dream I saw the shore of a distant land where
Promise lay in wait
And I heard the sound of voices of a million hungry souls
Now it comes to me to lead them to the gate

But I am just a man, not worthy of this plan
With a strength that's not my own,
I must rise

And I...will bear the light, (and the vision leads me onward)
That blind....men have their sight

Assistance on a story or two

I've been having some difficulty getting my muse working, primarily due to extreme fatigue relating to shoulder pain (repair to a torn rotator cuff) and the disruption of life caused by flooding from Hurricane Harvey. I've been so physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted that my muse seems to be on strike. So I've been doing a bit of reading, and I hit a story that is good, but the ending just didn't quite fit me. So my brain locked on a 'what if' - which got me to at least write something. But ....

Flooded - slowing my writing considerably

Well, it's been a while since I've managed to write anything, even on the Whateley site - because we got a bit flooded. As in water in the house. We had co-workers swarm in to get carpet and drywall out - now it's sorting lots of stuff to see what's ruined and what can possibly be saved. I haven't looked at national news in over a week - and it seems like it's been a month! And I haven't felt like writing in over a week, even though I have 2 really interesting stories bopping about in my brain.

"Didn't she say to calm down?" Kim calmly observed as Mike calmly
slowed to forty miles per hour to make a screaming hairpin one-eighty
leading towards the entrance.

"I am calmly getting away from someone who transforms people and
influences thoughts," Mike said back, calmly. "While I still have a brain
and thumbs."

"Go faster," Tucker suggested from the backseat. Calmly, of course.

The Bikini Beach Universe

At first glance, Bikini beach looks like just another water park along the side of the highway in an unspecified, southern coastal city. On second glance, an observer might notice that most of the people going into the park were women, many of them young, scantily dressed, and very pretty.
