PigtailPrincess Posted July 5 Author Report Posted July 5 Hello all as promised here are the rules!!! Check back throughout the week as I will be tweaking and adding but this gives us a functioning set!!! Thpugh I know yall are good folks and dont even need them! Naughty Novel Club Rules 1. Obey all forum rules. 2. Don't make things uncomfortable. While I know we are reading smut I think we all know when to tread careful and which details to leave out. Just read your audience and move on if someone is uncomfy. 3. Along the same lines is : being here isnt consent to anything. So please dont ask personal questions. For instance if someone in the book is being tied up it is inappropriate to say "Oh do you like being tied up?". This isnt a sex club it is book club. 4. Be welcoming and friendly! We want folks to like it here. 5. Only talk about NNC with other members!!! Anyone is welcome though so invite who you like! 6. No book shaming. 7. Respect spoilers!!!!! Don't ruin it for others. 8. While we dont judge please do not advertise stealing books and I will not be posting or allowing pirating links. 9. Have fun and participate!!! 1
PigtailPrincess Posted July 5 Author Report Posted July 5 Hello to my fellow Lights Out readers. Here is your official first assignment. The first three chapters! Due by Wednesday when the next assignment comes out. Please feel free to discuss, post quotes, ect here just make sure you spoil properly and give page numbers like I mentioned. Below I am posting the first set of questions. These are 100% optional so no pressure but I like being a little extra. They do have spoilers so I would answer at the end. Happy reading 📚 Spoiler Question 1: In the first chapter our female lead very much insinuates that her unusual/violent tastes in the bedroom are a direct result of her job. Do you think this can happen or is common? Or does the job just trigger what a person already wants? Question 2: Our male lead talks a fair bit about his friend Tyler this chapter. Describing alot of his less admiral qualities but following it up with why he appreciates him as a friend. My question is do you think people who are "flawed" lean towards deeply imperfect friendships like we see here? Would you call this friendship healthy? Question 3: Why is it, in your opinion, that some people desire to be watched and some are repulsed by the invasion of privacy? There are so many kinks and I am just curious as to what we think makes this one tick. 1

PigtailPrincess Posted July 5 Author Report Posted July 5 The moment you all have been waiting for!!! You are officially free to read this week's assignment chapters 4-6! And since yall enjoyed those questions I have a fresh new set. Once again they contain spoilers so only look after you have read the chapters. Spoiler Question 4: So our stalker man claims that if she went to the cops or was really upset or such that he would have backed off and covered his tracks. What is your opinion on this? Would he have been able to? Is this how extreme obsessions that are uncontrollable start? Question 5: Aly mentions wanting spicier time because lately she has been numb and not feeling much. So the spicier sex makes her feel again. Thoughts on this? Can it be safe and helpful to shock ourselves into feeling? And also how to you think our masked man would feel if he knew the reasons behind this? Question 6: What percentage of people today do you think would enjoy this extreme level of "play". More common in male or female? More common in certain generations or countries? Interesting to know we may pass people everyday that are imagining these extreme scenarios. Question 7: In this stalker romance we are meeting the stalker as he is made rather than after he is 100% like in alot of books. How long do you think it takes for them to go full psycho? Do you think many start stalking and decide it isnt for them or do you think it is a slippery slope once started? 1
PigtailPrincess Posted July 5 Author Report Posted July 5 Alright all the moment you have been waiting for!!! Chapters 7-9 are now Open!!! Read away!!! Questions will be posted today so be on the lookout! Been a busy week but now I am free elf and will be responding to questions and such within the next few days.

PigtailPrincess Posted July 5 Author Report Posted July 5 Sorry all I didn't feel well so these are a few hours late but as promised the questions for chapters 7-9. Things are picking up and I cant wait until we get further! I am planning a get together and talk for all of us so be on the lookout for a pole because I wanna scedual it when everyone can come. Spoiler Question 8: Our favorite girl talks about having a SA victim and the perp in the hospital and talks about wanting to let the family accidently have access to the man who assaulted her and then references that it is essentially much further than she would have taken it last week. Do you think this is a risk when you get involved in this kind of extracurricular activities? That we would be less controlled, moral, and willing to go to lengths we would not before? If so do you think there is any way to keep the lack on control just in the bedroom? Question 9: In the car we see this almost domestic everyday interaction with the lunchbox. This question is for yall to guess. They seem happy and this is exciting now but we all know the third act breakup is coming. My question is what do you think it will be over? Any guesses on our couples future problems? Question 10: So our faceless man is very caring and nurturing here, even wondering at why he wants so badly to take care of Aly. We see this duality in BDSM type relationships alot. The desire to hurt to a certain extent, to frighten even, and then the urge to care for them as well. In your opinion what is the explanation behind these conflicting desires? 1
PigtailPrincess Posted July 14 Author Report Posted July 14 Sorry all! Been a very hectic hard week but as promised here are yalls questions! Thanks for joining me in this as it is starting to get GOOD!!! Cannot wait for our first major discussion this Thursday at 5pm PST!!! Put it on your calendar! Without further ado... Spoiler Question 11: Alright so I think we all already assessed our guys friendship with Tyler and found it to maybe not be the healthiest. Thoughts on the fact that even Josh was suprised by the fact he has been screening the people he brings home for knowing about Josh's criminal Dad? We know he loves him dearly so do you think subconsciously he knew Tyler was capable of this sort of kindness? Does it change any of your initial thoughts? Any guesses on Tyler's involvement in Josh's life moving forward? Question 12: Let's explore Josh's father for a second. We know by now that his father has done some pretty aweful things and that Josh is desperate to not be like him. My question is, is he really? I mean he says he wants to avoid, even going so far as to never touch an animal prior to Alys cat, but we see him gleeful about "stalking and games of deception being so much godamn fun" as he puts it. What do you think this says about him now and about his future self? Any thoughts on whether or not being a monster is transferable? Could this actually be healing him and avoiding future twists in his nature? Question 13: So in chapter 11 Aly states she knows Josh is the Faceless Man. Do you think this is realistic? What do YOU think tipped her off? And as a self reflection do you think you would know in her place? Bonus points if you have any ideas on what Josh could have done better to throw her off. Question 14: So in our book our people are HOT. Like physically attractive, it is mentioned many times that they dont just find eachother attractive but are objectively hot. Do you think their "arrangement" only works because of that? Do you think there is a possible correlation between extreme looks and extreme play? Confidence and such seems a key component. Or do you think this is just how the romance book world plays out? Question 15: Here we see our masked man hesitating on annialating our girl in bed and instead making her breakfast. We are seeing that this is already much much more than sex for him. When do you think that happened exactly because this is early in a mostly sexual based relationship? Also do you think our female lead harbors the same extra feelings or is it just physical for her at this point?
PigtailPrincess Posted July 24 Author Report Posted July 24 Once again a few days late 😅 but as promised here are your questions for Lights Out chapters 13-17! Thanks all for reading with me cant wait for our chat today! Spoiler Question 16: So here we have some INTENSE play where Aly admits to feeling fear and excitement. In your own words what do you think are the key differences in this play and true fear of a stalker? What makes it real enough to scare but not to terrify? Question 17: In the hospital we meet our horrible horrible rapist. I have a couple questions on him. She talks about his eyes, about the dead and creepy alive at the same time look. Do you think this kind of monster is made or born? And at the end of the day since legal means havnt worked, do you think vigilante justice is justice at all? Question 18: Josh has made several comments by now about enjoying Aly being the somewhat dominant one even saying he would like her to tie him up and that it is a bit unusual for him. Do you think that when Doms are in love they enjoy everything they may not normally? Or is this just Josh discovering another side of himself? Question 19: Josh seems very affected, even physically ill, over an accidental murdering. Are you suprised after all the bravado talk? Thpughtz on his reaction compared to Alys?
PigtailPrincess Posted August 4 Author Report Posted August 4 Hello all!! Here are your questions for chapters 18-22. I am concerned where this is headed lol. Spoiler Question 20: So Aly says she wasnt affected by the death of Brad because she "sees death all the time" do you think this is normal for someone in her profession? Or may Aly be more messed up that Josh? Any guesses if she will get less in control as the book goes on? Question 21: Would you have brought Brad's body to Uncle Nico? If not what would you have done instead (feel free to use all your true crime knowledge 🤣) Question 22: So once again a question about our gal Aly. She helps kills someone, has knife sex, has mafia family, and still seems the most thrown by hearing Josh has a serial killer father. Thoughts on this? Question 23: Aly jokes about how she would stalk Josh now if he tried to leave. What do you think would happen in reality if Josh changed his mind? Question 24: Of all the things Uncle Nico could ask for, why do you think he picked dinner with Aly once a month?
