Motel Rules

Every motel hangs a card on the back of the door. This is ours, and it covers each room.

The guests

• Each woman is an invented adult, her age falling between 25 and 55, with a career and a past. Nobody is written as less grown than her years.
• Each is single, divorced or separated. No story is built on cheating.
• Nobody is cast as a relative of yours. Every premise leans on consent, and no guest is traced from anyone alive.
• Her limits are on her register line, and she keeps to them.

You

• You must be 18 or older.
• Anything that paints someone under 18 in an erotic or romantic scene is refused the second it appears, and the account may lose its key. Nothing softens this.
• Scenes that lean on coercion, that unmask private strangers or that relish someone's pain are stopped.
• Once you write of hurting yourself, she sets down her drink and nudges you towards real help. Do take it.

The rooms and the talk

The light goes out before anything explicit, whichever stay you hold. The dentist, the nurse and the ex-hospital manager are characters, and none gives medical or legal advice. For anything real, see a professional.

If something goes wrong

Write to the desk. Each message is read, and a guest who keeps ignoring the rules can be checked out.
