For this year’s A to Z Blog Challenge, Richard and Jayden are worldbuilding! Using Rebekah Loper‘s book The A-Zs of Worldbuilding as a guide, we have teamed up to give descriptions of the world we’re creating, along with snippets of what it’s like to exist in the world. Enjoy!
Background by Jayden for S is for Science:
Well now. I know you’re expecting to hear about the science of how the dinosaurs were made. Well, how could I disappoint our adoring fans? It was just like in Jurassic Park, and the difference is (spoilers) that the dinosaurs run loose at the end like in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. We have until June 10th to find out how they resolve that one…

Background by Jayden for R is for Religion
Honestly, this is one of the most difficult things for me to write, worldbuilding-wise. When I write real-world fiction, I tend to stay away from religion. As I mostly write smut, I try to write it so that anyone reading can see themselves in the main character (or side characters, etc.). If you notice, I don’t give a lot of physical descriptions of my characters on purpose. I focus more on how they’re feeling and how someone else makes them feel. That allows my reader to get more into the headspace of the main character.
I feel like religion takes away from that. So between the fact that religion often has Opinions about sex and the fact that I want all readers to be able to access my writing, I generally stay away from it.
So rather than talk about religion in this world (which won’t be featured in the novel), I thought I would demonstrate what I’m talking about with my descriptions.
1. Select a kink. You’re a first-time visitor to a dungeon, and you are ‘center stage’ because a sizeable crowd has gathered to watch you: a. Writhing from bare-hand spanking b. Restrained on an X-cross receiving a whipping c. Dangling in air wrapped in an ornate web of rope d. Naked on a floor mat with 3 people pleasuring you
Jayden: e. Yes please? If I have to choose, I’d probably pick a. But b has its merits… But it would be up to Richard, ultimately…
Richard: D is tempting, but I think C is the most fun. Assuming I get to try to wriggle out of it. Good way to make a first impression.
2. If you selected #4 in the last question, tell us how you are pleasured?
Jayden: I didn’t select it, but I’m going to tell you anyway. Let’s see… three people pleasuring me… I would want one licking my pussy, one playing with my nipples, and one to make out with. Can I clone Richard, please?
Richard: 4 wasn’t a choice/letter. I think I’ll take one person licking my ass, one on my balls, cock, and one bossing them around and lending a hand as needed.
3. Bind, blind, tease. Write a 50-word story and include those 3 words.
Jayden: My desire is blinding. My skin feels like it is on fire. I wonder if it’s warm to the touch, or if it just feels that way. But I can’t check. The bindings on my limbs are too tight for me to move. My Richard is such a fucking tease.
Richard: I don’t know why they thought blind-folding (totally counts) me was going to stop me from getting out. That is the whole point of binding (also counts!) someone, right? To tease them until they get out and try to get revenge.
4. Sex Doll play: The ‘doll’ is the human version of an inflatable sex doll. The ‘doll’ must lie completely still on a bed and let their partner have at it. The partner is free to control the doll’s body and movements, and do what they please. Which will you be–the doll or the doll-master? Why?
Jayden: The doll. Richard and I have done something similar once or twice. He likes to hear me scream too much to make me be silent often, but it can be sexy.
Richard: Yeah, I’ll be the doll-master. I had an ex who was really into this kink and it can be fun. I’m no good at staying quiet anyway.

Background by Jayden for Q is for Queens:
As everything is in Adirlachson, the government is run by the Dommes. There is one who is in charge, though she has a number of advisory positions that other women hold. She has other positions such as security, agriculture, architecture, and so on, making sure that all aspects of their society can continue on. When she chooses to step down (or in the event of her death) one of her advisors will be promoted to the head position. In this way, the same group has stayed in power, replacing women as they’ve left their positions. The woman in charge always chooses the women to fill all of the advisory positions.
Although the government has been unchanged as long as anyone can remember, they have been fair enough to all of the women that they don’t want to usurp the group in power, and the men are happy to serve the women in the society. When they aren’t, the loyal men run them out of town and they’re never heard from again.

Background by Jayden for P is for Plants:
We mentioned a little bit about the plants that Adirlachson has before (let’s see if we can keep our details straight, haha!). They have some underground areas where they grow some crops using artificial light and water-based plants. For the plants that they can’t grow that way, they built up some fields with high walls to keep most of the dinosaurs and other animals out, though, of course, the flying ones can still get in. Richard shared with us about the “scarecrows” in F is for Food not too long ago.

Background by Jayden for O is for Oblectation:
The adults have many games that they enjoy. They have managed to keep alive some card games from the distant past as well as create new ones. But mostly, the Dommes play with their submissives. They have found a variety of games that they can play with their boys, from betting on races and wrestling to finding out who can withstand the most pain or who can cum the fastest.

Background by Jayden for N is for Nuptials:
Well, given that women rule the community, they make the decisions about relationships. The submissive men can certainly ask, but it is entirely at the Domme’s whim to decide if she’ll give a collar to a submissive, and how many men she’ll give a collar to. Then those promises are made via contract in ceremonies where members of the community gather to watch the promises made.

Background by Jayden for M is for Military:
We already learned about the BEARS (Bondage Enforcement Armed Response Squad). They make up the majority of the military in Adirlachson. The highest officers, of course, are some of the dominant women. They direct the military into any action that needs to be taken, but given that the community is mostly hidden underground, it’s all internal struggles. They do monitor the surrounding area closely to be sure that no dinosaurs or (dare we speculate) people who don’t conform to the values of Adirlachson intrude on their community.

Background by Jayden for L is for Language:
Everyone speaks the same language. Other languages have died out in the community. The original area is the Northeastern United States, so English was the dominant language in the community when they went underground, and other languages have died out.
They have developed some slang, since that’s how language evolves…

Background by Jayden for K is for Knowledge:
In Adirlachson, all children are expected to go to school. They learn to read, write, and use a computer. They learn math and science. Their history education is very tightly controlled. They understand that the rise of the dinosaurs was the downfall of their civilization, and that was when they went underground.
Other than that, specialized training and education are offered based on the career paths people choose.
1. Could you fall in love with and set up home with someone who has $100,000 (usd) in debt?
Jayden: Yeah. I essentially did in a previous relationship. But it’s okay. Richard is super debt-averse, which is fine by me!
Richard: Depends on their income, the type of debt, etc. 100K in student loans for someone pulling down six figures isn’t horrific. 100K in payday loans someone making 50K is a problem.
2. Is it important for you to be the breadwinner or make more money than your significant other?
Jayden: No. I don’t care. It all goes into one bucket.
Richard: I want to be a house husband/kept man and throw lavish parties.
3. Are you happy with your chosen career path? What could be better?
Jayden: Some days I love it. Other days, I lose 3 hours of sleep agonizing about it (and I’m on vacation this week!!!)
Richard: Not particularly. I don’t love my job, and I’m pretty sure it’ll be gone before I’m 50.
4. Would you start a business with your significant other? Why or why not?
Jayden: Sure. I’ve done it. I started one with my ex-husband. We still own it together. And…it’s fine. Sometimes he frustrates me, and I’m sure sometimes I frustrate him. But in the end, we’re both supportive of the business.
Richard: We’re totally going to get a movie deal, so I guess we’ll have to figure something out.
Bonus: Can money buy you love?
Jayden: I’m sure a sub could woo me by spoiling me financially, but I don’t think it’d ever be actual love. Money is great and all, but there are more important things. And boy did I prove that in the last ~2 years.
Richard: No. I’ve dated some girls who came from money, it doesn’t really help that much.

Background by Jayden for J is for Judicial Systems:
There are community leaders who create and enforce the laws. The same group has been in power as long as anyone can remember. Each time one of them dies, they are replaced by another who is selected by those already in power. There is no voting. All of the leaders are women.
The laws are designed to keep power to those in power. The leaders have a team of men who enforce the laws. They are the submissives of the Dommes in power. They all faithfully serve their leaders. No one outwardly opposes the Dommes or…they aren’t heard from again.

Background by Jayden for I is for Interior Design:
Everyone has living quarters, but they are generally shared when they are younger. They grow up mostly segregated by boys and girls, until they are of age. Then they can choose mates, if they like. In the female dominated society, the women get to choose their partners, and then they can live together in underground quarters, but they have communal bathrooms by gender. Decorations themselves are sparse. There isn’t a lot to work with, but often dried leaves or wildflowers are brought inside as gifts from the submissive men to the women they serve.

Background by Jayden for H is for History:
No one talks about the before times. No one wants to discuss what happened when the seas rose and the air became too warm. No one wants to talk about how the dinosaurs broke free and took over the land, driving people underground and to areas where they could live safely. The younger generation wants to know. What happened? How did they end up this way? And who else is left out there?

Background by Jayden for G is for Geography:
With dinosaurs roaming the Earth and the breakdown of civilization, the roads became impassable long ago. Cars stopped being produced, and the society doesn’t believe that anyone else managed to survive the harsh climate changes that are finally abating. They took a long tunnel that had been dug out of a mountain and closed off the ends so they could use it as a stronghold. Over the years, they dug out more rooms, and eventually worked their way into a cave system that keeps them safe. They had some technology and were able to use natural power sources. An underground lake and well give them plenty of fresh water. It’s a self-sufficient area.

Background by Jayden for F is for Food:
The society grows all of their plant-based food in an area adjacent to their mountain home that has high walls to keep the predators out (though there are occasionally flying dinosaurs, of course). They also have some underground chambers that are climate controlled so they can grow some of the warmer weather crops. They don’t have anyone to trade with outside their community, or so the average person thinks. They do have some livestock, but fresh meat is a rarity. They use a variety of spices to give the food lots of flavor. Yes, they do eat dinosaurs when they’re able to capture or hunt one.
It’s our one year anniversary with IWSG! I’m impressed with us that we haven’t missed a month, though we’ve squeaked in a little late here and there.
If you’d like to chime in and let us know your answers to the questions or drop a link to your post if you’re participating, please do so in the comments! And check out the IWSG website for more answers!
April 6 question – Have any of your books been made into audio books? If so, what is the main challenge in producing an audiobook?
Jayden: I can answer for both of us. Nope! For me, I don’t even know where I would begin to produce an audiobook. Although, fun fact, I once recorded about 90% of a novel as an audiobook for a boyfriend in high school. It was his favorite book and there was no audiobook of it. When I couldn’t buy one, I wanted to record it just for him, but I never finished and then we broke up. Ah well. Would’ve been a copyright issue, anyway
Richard also said no, but he did make a writing observation today that we’ll share: He’s enjoying our A to Z Challenge blog posts. I (Jayden) am writing the worldbuilding details, and he’s writing a story to go with it, except he’s purposefully not quite writing about the same thing I am. For example, coming up on 4/7 is “F is for Food” but he somehow wrote more about firepower and scarecrows than food! It’s worth the read though!

Background by Jayden for E is for Economy:
Everyone has a card that they use as their identification and money. They just scan it whenever they need to purchase something, and they are all given money every week that they can spend how they like. Everyone has a job in the society and they contribute in whatever way they are needed. The women get to pick their jobs, and the submissive males get whatever is left. They have to keep their society safe from the dinosaurs that are lurking outside their walls all the time.

Background by Jayden for D is for Death:
When a dominant woman passes away, they are given a lot of honor and respect. Ceremonies are performed for them with large parties. When a submissive man passes away, his funeral is at the discretion of whoever his Domme is. Some of them are just as lavish as those of the highest women in the society. They take care of their servants.

Background by Jayden for C is for Clothing:
Clothes are necessary, of course, but in the female dominated community, the women wear whatever comfortable clothes they want to. Mostly, they wear flowing dresses or stretchy clothes made of soft, synthetic materials. The submissive men are often clothed in very little, their bodies always available to the women. When it’s cold in the winter, they have soft blankets, sweatshirts, jackets, and pants that they can wear. And of course, good sturdy footwear. But, because they live mostly underground, the weather doesn’t particularly affect their dress. They’ve adapted to it being chilly, and most people don’t have to bundle up even when it gets into the lower temperature ranges.
