Hey guys! For obvious reasons, most of my stories are stand alone; kind of hard to bust a sack that's already been turned into paste. However, most of my stories take place in a generic Western style city that exists in a loosely connected continuum, kind of like the mega city in The Matrix. Over the years there have been several connections between the stories that place them in the same universe. Here is a fun little recap of some of the connections over the years.
The City
A coastal, unnamed and sprawling metropolis with expansive suburbs and ring cities. The well-heeled suburb of Chrysanthemum Heights is where The Photoshoot took place, as well as every story in The Good Doctor series. The aspirational new suburb of Dream Hill Estates was the setting of Cousin Busting (Simple Gifts) set in the far-off year of 2025 (it was far off when I wrote it...). It is also home of the prestige residential tower The Places at Avalon Park where a cocky rich boy named Kyle got put in his place; the dowager character in Mother's Boyfriends, Son's Toys was an initial investor in that tower.
Downtown is home to several impressive buildings including The Shard, a glittering office building where Golden Loads has their offices as well at CB & T, a firm where a certain employee learned that He Should Have Said Yes. If you plan on staying in the City for a while, you may want to grab a room at The Lux Hotel, where Cristiano Ronaldo Got Deflated and the hotel was host to the International Iron Guy Competition featured in Jesse's Fantasy.
As the region's hub of culture and education, the City is home of Amajor University, a large residential college in the City. Amajor University has been home to all manner of ball busting shenanigan's. The Tau Omega Chi fraternity in particular is always catching the eye of the Dean with their family-tree trimming antics! Some of the more notable stories that took place at Amajor University are A Woman Scorned, The Conquest of Tau Omega Chi and A Quiet Roommate. There was also a devastating game or roshambo featured in Epic Roshambo featuring the boys of nearby Quintero University, who also showed up in Frat Boys Painting Eggs and Last Man Standing. The guys aren't all play though, they regularly contribute to the local community like in Winter Charity Balls, The Twelve Nuts of Christmas and Easter Egg Coloring Contest. For culture, the City boasts numerous museums including the Ronnie Pollack Museum of Art from Mother's Boyfriends, Son's Toys and the City Ballet Theatre.
Major corporations are also based in the city and because of its size, the City is home to major, entertainment, shopping centers and medical facilities. Genecontreo is a biotech firm that has offices in The City along with Consolidated Iridium, both of which have been known to dabble in technology that could be used - accidentally or on purpose - for ball busting. Genecontreo's testicle melting sonic gun was featured in POPS: Side Effects and Sonic Boom and their less 'explosive' experiments were highlighted in The Orchidometer. Consolidated Iridium's crushing glove was in Rupture Fest 2013: Market Mashup and their industrial androids pulped a line of testicles in Rupture Fest 2020: Model K. In the mood for shopping? Lawson's Department Store was featured in Happy Elves and The Cup Test. For night life, The Firm, an upscale bar, was mentioned in Shattering Clay and its gay night made an appearance in Tyler's Rampage.
If you're ever hurt in the City, turn to Westwood Medical. One of their nurses was featured in The Hot Nurse, and one of their clinics was the scene of a grisly accident with a scanning machine in The Mammogram. Westwood is also a sister facility for Genecontreo's network of clinics, where a Fake Doctor nutted several guys over the night shift. Pip, a character from The Super Bet (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4), sought treatment for a personal issue at one of Genecontreo's clinics with predictable results.
Just outside of the City is the Country Club where Rupture Fest 2013 and Rupture Fest 2020 took place (thanks again for everyone who volunteered for Rupture Fest 2020; click here to see the lineup as well as links to each guy's story). Even if you're late to the show, one of the friendly guards will give you a warm welcome like in Get Rid of That Junk Redux. The perfect way to de-stress after a hectic visit to the City.
With shopping, dining, nightlife and culture, the only guys who don't want to be seen in The City are any wanting kids!
I hope you enjoyed this random little entry. Did I miss a connection? Let me know in the comments, regular story coming up tomorrow!
I like this a lot! As I mentioned once; this is your BBU=BaLL Busting Universe :D I have always thought that your stories occur in the same milieu(this is something that I'm doing with my own Saga as well). Amajor university ones are one of my many favorites, but where those dark powers come that some practise to destroy stud nuts? Is there some kind of Wiccan cult hidden from the public eye and where are they practising their ways?
ReplyDeleteThanks Whistle! Yeah, there are lots of dark, testicle-crushing corners in the City.
DeleteOne of the things that I love most abour writing is your fantastic "worldbuilding", and this post gets right to the heart of it. The world you have created is compelling and believable - with all the incredible, unbelievable things that are happening in it LOL. Thank you very much for drawing out this little map for us. Your world is awesome, and I am looking forward to all the fantastic stories that are yet to be told. :-))
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Alex! I'm glad you appreciate the 'world building' though its a wonder its still populated.. >:)
DeleteI really enjoyed this! So many connections I hadn't even noticed before, and so many possibilities for future throwbacks!
