Welcome to the rewrite of 'How Analea Became an Orc Queen'. The objective here is simple: fix technical errors and storyline problems and contradictions, and this introduction is simply to say a few words about the story and offer chapter descriptions. If you are a fan of the original series 'How Analea Became an Orc Queen' you will find the first seven chapters to be nearly the same except for the corrections mentioned above and some additions for clarification and foreshadowing; the benefit of writing the entire story out before posting anything.
Analea came about in '23 as a spur of the moment idea having read some non-human stories here (many that I very much liked) but wanted to write one of my own without repeating what others had already done so well, and a life long love of folklore, fairytale, and mythology.
This is intended to be a relatively simple and straight forward fantasy story, revolving around one elf and one orc, their union and how it came to be. Although many readers will undoubtedly be disappointed that I have not created a fully realized world as there are no place names and even some characters refered to (but not appearing in the narrative) have no names, there are reasons for that. The main one being it seemed overboard and I did not want to create a whole world. I wanted to write a simple straight forward story that revolved around 2 characters and the implications and complications of their union, sexually and dynastically in their world.
You will not find in this story the humiliation and degradation of an elf woman at the hands of orcs, you will not find forced/rape in this story (although the threat of these things is pervasive throughout); what you will find is group sex, woman/woman, oral, cum, bukkake, first time, monogamy, inter-species sex and things of that nature. What this story revolves around is actually a love and lust story between an elf and orc and the desire of both to bring peace, served with a side dose of vengeance to wrongs committed against them and others.
And this story being heavily influenced by folklore, for those of you who love it as I do, you will find many references to fairytale tropes, like a nod to Black Annis (in this story spelled Black Anis) from English/Scottish lore, and our modern view of faeries with their translucent wings when Analea displays her power, the archaic idea of the sun 'losing' heat and power in the evening, the moon and it's 'cold' rays. And maybe if you've read Russian folklore, you will recognize my nod to one of my personal favorite folkloric figures Baba Yaga, the Russian cannibalistic witch (I also had Mother Holle in mind), and even a quick reference to brownies, those little forest people so rarely used in stories today, though the word I use for them is a truncated German word, and of course the stone circles, for so long in Western thought associated with faerie people. All of this rolled up in a novice writers' attempt for a fantasy love and lust story.
Again, for emphasis, this is something of a light hearted fantasy story with lust, sex, intrigue, betrayal, and love, with just a tinge of darkness in the story line, though it is kept intentionally basic. Why? Because I am not a professional writer and did not want to bite off more than I can chew lol. I am a relatively new hobby writer, nothing more. I do not claim to be a professional writer nor do I have any illusions of being one. I try to make my stories interesting with different narrative techniques and story ideas, and hopefully likable characters, partly for my own interests and partly not to imitate what others have already done so well.
It is hoped that you, the readers, will enjoy this narrative and the characters involved, as I have enjoyed the challenges of writing it. And yes, this narrative is first person, written from the perspective of Analea so the story is very much character driven, if that is not your thing, no offense taken on my part unless you down vote and shred my story unreasonably as so many readers (not all of course) are wont to do, especially stories not professionally written. Pardon my bitterness here, but the unreasonable vitriol I have received from readers is unconscionable. In fact if anything about this story, from subject matter to story line to narrative bother you, it's best that you find another story to read. No hard feelings. And for those prone to harsh and mean reviews (if I even allow comments and voting, which is in doubt but you will still be able to add my stories to your favorites), there is no use in being rude and mean (not just to my stories but the many hateful comments I've read to other people's stories), we are all better served with thoughtful criticism coupled with encouragement. Kindness should be the rule, not spiteful and hurtful in the interest of 'being honest' or 'truthful'. It's mean and spiteful, and serves no justifiable end.
Why put this under novels/ novellas? Because it is a longer narrative where character, plot, and subplot matter. So again if that is not your thing I get it, I understand that this is something of niche writing anyway, so again no hard feelings if that is not your thing. And lastly, because there are chapters towards the end that do not include sex; 2 things here. One, it is a reason I put this under novels and novellas, assuming that people who read those here are interested in the story as well as the sex, and two, I felt a break from the sex would lead to the build up of the final three chapters. I needed those chapters to wrap this story up without distractions, and the situations in those chapters simply do not allow for it. If this is a problem for you, take comfort in the fact that the last 2 1/2 chapters will be primarily sex, or you simply do not have to read them.
One more note about this story. Things in the subplots mentioned throughout the narrative do not happen and are not told here, they are yet to come. They happen in the future after the events of this story which is as the title says, the (sexual) claiming of Analea. All the events mentioned yet to come will not be told, there will be no sequel as the sex part of her story is here and I am very aware of where I am posting. At most I am not stating the series is over as I may add appendices later, stories about characters here that have little or nothing to do with the main story. For example there is my story 'Talia's Gangbang', and possibly a few about Melee, and most certainly the orc Zogreb and the elf Lynxcia are getting their own scene, that'll be fun to write, but not for a while yet.
If you are reading this introduction it means the entire story is finally completed and ready for posting. I will release this intro and ch. 01 at the same time, then 1 chapter a week after that.
Hope you all enjoy this little story. Thanks for reading.
