← Gavin Wolfe · The Pwned series

Appendix – Origins

Prompt — Chapter 1 (“Room 14”)

F/M.  First person (from the sub/spankee’s perspective).  Narrator/protagonist (the spankee) is a software developer and closeted spanko.  He consumes a lot of spanking porn online — stories and videos and such, browsing in incognito mode.  One day he finds his development laptop compromised by a hacker — a strange terminal pops up so they can chat.  Hacker (turns out to be female, but we don’t know this necessarily from an all digital interaction) says she knows his dirty little secret and will expose him to his wife, his employer, etc. (not to mention make use of his access to his employer’s systems and such) unless he agrees to meet.  He agrees.  They meet in a motel.  Hacker as it turns out is a very attractive woman about the same age as the protagonist, and is also into discipline/spanking, as a top.  They talk.  She questions the protagonist about his kink, and discerns he’s a bottom, has never really acted on his kink to any significant degree (wife knows about it, but isn’t really into that sort of thing).  She knows from his online activity he’s into more domestic scenes and discipline role-play, not really whips and hard-core domination.  She kind of takes pity on him.  She says she’ll not expose him, and she’ll help him secure his laptop and cover his tracks a bit better in the future, but only if he agrees to let her spank him.  NOTE: Protagonist is overweight and almost certainly too big and heavy for over the knee.

Prompt — Chapter 2 (“Shambhala”)

Let’s continue Daniel’s story. It’s been maybe a few weeks since Daniel’s meeting in the motel. Female Hacker (we should probably give her a name in this part) texts Daniel. She lightly scolds him a bit, somewhat disappointed he hasn’t taken her up on his invitation to call her. But she actually is looking for his help technically. They meet in the motel again to discuss further. Despite his personal laptop security being a little lax before (which she helped him beef up), he’s a decent code with some cyber security knowledge that will come in handy for her latest project. She’s a hacktivist, and currently trying to bring down a human trafficking ring forcing women into sex slavery. (We can take the angle of “this isn’t like the paid models in your soft-core videos — these women are suffering terribly”). She wants his help to break into systems and such being used by the sex traffickers, get at their money, etc. She might also be a little bit of a technical mentor too — she’s gonna groom a lowly commercial software developer with some chops into a first-rate hacker himself. We can also start to develop a few subplots and character arcs — how far does Daniel take it with Hacker (vis a vis the offer of spanking + after care ‘with benefits’ from the first chapter) without being unfaithful to his wife Jenna (whom he loves very much)? Eventually too Jenna will be getting suspicious if Daniel has too many late night “meetings”. (Like probably sometimes this is not unheard of for his job, but it’s out of the ordinary.) We can _maybe_ try and figure out how to work a spanking into this chapter if it fits smoothly, but don’t force it too much — we can focus on plot development if necessary. At the very least some spanking related banter between Daniel and the Hacker mixed in with talking business about her campaign against the sex traffickers.

From there, the story became Pwned, then Pwned: Redux, then Pwned: Restitution.

The books themselves were written with Claude, Anthropic’s AI model, as a collaborator. Claude helped plan and outline the story, kept the outline, timeline, and character notes, did the developmental editing and continuity tracking, and drafted much of the first-pass prose, which Gavin revised. Where Claude’s drafts and Gavin’s ear disagreed, his ear usually won. The idea for Book One’s cover (the strap on the desk beside the open laptop) came from Gavin’s wife.
