If you're a fan of traditional, tongue in cheek, honest to goodness one Top and his brat stories, then the Jack and Danny Chronicles are just the ticket. Packed full of laughs, quips, disasters and of course spankings. That's basically what Bratfic is, a blend of comedy and spankings.
Intro:
Meet Daniel Macintyre, a young, happy go lucky, short but beautifully
proportioned romantic and intellectual action hero, at least in his own
mind.
From computer fires to escaped tarantulas Danny seems to
causes chaos wherever he goes. He wouldn’t mind so much, but none of it
is ever his fault, well, hardly ever!
Danny’s partner is the
stereotypically tall, dark and handsome Jack Kinross. When it comes to
communicating with Danny, Jack relies heavily on sign language executed
by hand, though often aided and abetted by a large wooden hairbrush.
Jack does his best to keep his mischievous young lover in line in this comic tale of misadventures.
Warning: contains strong language, highly improbable situations and gratuitous use of puns.
Available at Smashwords and also in kindle editions.
INTRODUCTION
The
Danny and Jack stories fall into a category of M/M domestic discipline
literature often known as ‘Bratfic.’ Such stories usually, though not
exclusively, involve an older man (the Top or Dominant) partnering a
younger man (the brat or submissive) It can be a rather stylised form
of fiction with inherent rules and regulations about the forms
discipline takes. The Jack and Danny Chronicles are both an affirmation
of the Bratfic genre and an affectionate parody of it.
There is
without doubt an element of parenting involved in most discipline
fiction, especially Bratfic. The truth is that parenting is an element
present in almost all real-life power exchange practices, to varying
degrees. Parenting isn't just an adult to child dynamic. Parenting is
about caring. Lots of adult men fantasise about submitting to an
authority figure. You only have to peruse gay spanking forums to see how
many mature men advertise for partners to play out Dom/sub, Daddy/boy,
Top/brat scenarios. It isn’t just about spanking and sex either. It’s
about care and guidance and comfort and it's about relinquishing an
element of control to a person that is trusted.
Bratfic has
attracted much criticism as a form of discipline fiction. Some writers
of M/M discipline fiction look down their noses and deem it to be
immature. So what! Dressing up as a schoolboy or schoolgirl in order to
legitimise a need to be spanked might also be deemed to be immature, but
I don’t question the right of such people to express and fulfil their
need in that way. We all have a right to express our kinks, interests
and needs in ways that are meaningful to us as individuals. When it
comes to written fantasies that mirror deeply felt emotions then no one,
absolutely no one, has the right to tell another person they are stupid
or wrong.
I hope in general that the fine and often tongue in
cheek tradition of ‘Bratfic’ where the hapless bottom always gets his
just desserts from his Top will live on, despite the derision it has
attracted from some quarters. To my mind ‘Bratfic’ is not only a
legitimate form of discipline fiction, it’s an essential and often
supremely well written one that gives rich expression to the spanking
kink we all purport to enjoy. Let there be no discrimination against an
art form that has spawned many good writers and entertained numerous
readers.

REVIEWS
Macintyre
excels at playing himself in this moving true story of his life. The
boy’s a natural. Never have I seen such beautifully executed foot
stamping and tantrum throwing, he’s a joy to observe. (A Critic)
Macintyre
follows closely in the fine brat tradition of Scarlett O Hara:
impulsive, manipulative, and yet strangely vulnerable and sweet. Kinross
is a worthy Rhett Butler to his small, but beautifully formed, partner.
Tall, dark, handsome, he conveys a stern, brooding, yet caring,
presence that is hard to resist. I look forward to discovering more
about this unique and deeply complex relationship (A. Nother Critic)
I’m
sorry, but this is disgusting. Macintyre is in need of intense
psychological counselling, as is Kinross. Macintyre’s pride in his
unorthodox relationship and lifestyle is unsavoury. (A Bigot)
I
found nothing amusing in this pathetic boy’s tragic life of hell with
his oppressive partner. Furthermore, should we really condone the
barbarous use of hairbrushes as instruments of retribution? (Miss D
Point. Literary critic for the customer message board in Kwik Save
Supermarkets)
