Story Competition - Nalen Kara's 'Retirement'

Hey everybody, it's that time once again. Throw your hat in for the chance to win some art

So, before I start transitioning my work schedule over to a patreon model (Don't worry my art will still be hosted here on DA as well) I wanted to do one last story competition, since I may not get another chance, at least for a while. I feel like these competitions are one of the reasons that people started paying attention to my page early on so it feels fitting to do one more before changing things up a little.

And what better theme for that than "Nalen Kara's "Retirement"" by which of course I mean an end of her career as Warden Nalen Kara and the beginning of a new one involving copious amounts of bondage. To clarify, I've been on a bit of a kick of stories that act as a kind of "Bad End" for Nalen recently, stories that involve Nalen being disposed of for good, no last second escapes, no "until next they meet" scenarios - Nalen's foes ensure that the only thing her future entails are tight restraints and mouth filling gags.

To be clear, I am not "retiring" the character, I'm treating these as like "non-canon" ends or alternate timelines or whatever as stories about how her adventures could end. The funnest part of that is that you can all decide how to go about this without having to worry about any existing "lore" or whatever.

Info and Rules

1. The theme of the competition this time is Bad Ends for Nalen, game overs with a sense of finality to them - involving bondage of course. There will be no escape for the Warden this time, whoever her foes are in this tale have gotten the better of her and will ensure that she will never trouble them or anyone else ever again. How they achieve this is entirely up to you - maybe she is whisked away to parts unknown, locked away in a deep dark dungeon, replaced by a doppelganger, committed to an institution or even captured by some magical creature. It really is up to you, so long as the bondage is tight and the gags are big haha. Some of you may have criminal OC's that have tangled with Nalen before and would like to revisit that, maybe you want to create an entirely new character or organisation that has seen fit to put an end to the Warden's meddling. Maybe she is betrayed from within by a scheming subordinate or the higher ups? There are a tonne of possibilities and I want to see all of your takes on it

2. Other rules and restrictions, based on personal preference:

• This is a DiD themed story, that means ladies getting tied up and gagged and not for play play.

• I don’t like death traps or death/gore. Feel free to have violence in the story, just don't fetishise it. For the ultimate fate of the heroines, think of alternatives for death: Captured, Permanent imprisonment, Sold into slavery, whisked off to parts unknown, that sort of thing.

• As always, I don’t wish to see actual sexual abuse in any of these stories. If you are ever in doubt, check my gallery out and you’ll get a general idea of what I like about DiD.

• As always, no stories about underage characters. (18+ Only)

3. Word limit and how to submit. I won’t be setting an upper word limit, you can write as much or as little as you like but try not to go below 2000-2500 words as it is nice to get a little context to the situations. To submit the story simply tag me when you post it, or if you would prefer you can upload it to a stash and send me the link, just make me aware of its existence so I can read it 

4. I can only judge one story per person to keep things fair. For instance if someone writes 4 entries and someone else does 1 then, naturally that gives them more of an edge in the competition which would not be very sporting. So, technically, you can do as many as you want, but you will have to pick one to count as your entry for judging purposes. To clarify, you can have a single storyline that has multiple parts, you just cannot submit several different stories all from different narratives.

5. Hard deadline date of Sunday 27th May -any extenuating circumstances will be considered on an individual basis.
