Hello from Shandra and Anne, who helped too.
            One evening, I was sitting up late watching TV. There was a series of programs on sexual topics that I had been watching. This particular program was on exhibitionism and people appearing nude in public. One event they briefly featured was a party held in Sydney, Australia, called a Ripper Stripper Party. It didn’t show too much, but it captured my attention and imagination. Later, we based the opening of this story on my experience.
            There was not too much in the TV program describing how one of these parties would work, but it was clear that only a few people entered a contest to get naked. We decided we would have to invent our own party because I wanted everyone to end up naked, not just a few people.
            Because I was already working on a couple of other stories, Anne took over the project, but she didn’t get too far with the story until we all went away camping. (See Brian's Page for more on our nude camping trip.) We then began to work on ideas until Anne ended up with a pile of different ideas written out on pieces of paper.

            The first thing was to work out how this evening might go. We came up with the idea of having a mix of professional acts and contests for members of the audience. From that point, we began building a plan for the evening hour by hour. But as I said above, my idea was for everyone to end up naked, so we were trying to decide how to do this. The best way was for people to remove more and more of their clothing as the night went on. That was where the step-by-step undressing came from.
            We worked with the idea of having professional strippers doing themed acts dressed as a cowboy, Little Bo Peep, a Roman soldier, etc. This got us thinking about how each of these acts might go. One of my favourites is the act put on by the Roman soldier where he asks two girls from the audience to help him. He ends up getting naked, of course, but he also gets both of them naked as well.
            Then we had the contests where members of the audience competed for prizes. Notice how these got sexier as the evening progressed. We think these contests would have given many in the room the chance to get into some things they would have never normally dared to do.

            One of the first highlights of the evening was the joint strip by Shanti and Mike. This was my idea, which was always a part of the idea of the Ripper Stripper Party. At one point, I considered Jenny and Peter doing it too. We even had them swapping partners and both pairs doing it, but finally, we left it with just Shanti and Mike entering this contest. I didn't want to push things too fast.
            After Reshma had shown us how a sari strip would go (see below), Brian and Susan suggested that Anne and Allan show us how a couple’s strip would go. They got dressed and did that. First, they tried undressing together, but that didn’t look good. Reshma then suggested that they take each other’s clothes off, taking turns to remove an item. This worked really well, and so that was how Mike and Shanti did it in the story.

            One of the best scenes in this story was going to be Shanti’s strip dance, an idea which came from my sister Reshma. As Allan told you last week, my younger sister, Reshma, had joined us for this holiday. At first, I was a bit unsure about taking her, but once my parents caught on to the idea, we really had no choice. Anyway, she said she was OK with the nudity and by the second day was even joining us like that herself.
            A few days into the holiday, we had worked out a rough list of the many contests and competitions that could be held at one of these parties. One was a single strip done by one person at a time. It was Reshma who suggested that since the girls in the story were Indian, then maybe there should be a strip from a sari.
            Allan asked her to explain more about how this would work, so Reshma was describing how a sari strip would go. I hardly ever wear a sari, but Reshma often does. She actually came on the trip in one, which sort of surprised all of us. Anyway, as she was telling us how this would work, Brian (Susan’s boyfriend) suggested that she could show us with the sari she wore the first day. Reshma got a funny smile on her face. I think part nervous and I think part cheeky too. Then, to my surprise, she actually agreed to do it. I could not believe my little sister would actually do this. She went to her tent and, in a few minutes, arrived back fully dressed in her sari.
            I know we had all seen her naked over the past few days, but doing a striptease was a lot sexier. I had found some Indian music, and while I played it, Reshma began to dance. She is a very good dancer and put on a good show as she slowly removed her clothing to the music. (See the background of Letter 36 for more on this.)
            The way she did this is how we wrote it for our story. Then the problem arose of Shanti entering two contests, one after another. Since Shanti never wore a sari anyway, we decided that it was better that she do the couple strip with Mike. The story about the sari strip was put aside and kept as a feature for the second Ripper Stripper Party, which we were already planning for when Joseph and Lizamoa visited New Zealand. This sari strip eventually appeared in Letter 36.
            Sorry, Reshma, I know you were expecting to read about your special performance here, but you will need to wait a few more months.

            It is hard to remember where every piece of this story came from, as during the holiday, ideas were added, removed, improved and modified, in some cases several times.
            When she got home, Anne had a list of all the stories we were going to use with some linking notes between them, so she typed each of the idea stories onto her computer, and then she was quickly able to work these into one continuous story. After Allan, Susan and I had done a bit of work in various places, we had the story which we have posted here.

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.
                        Anne, Allan, Shandra and Susan.

Dear Joseph and Lizamoa,
        Hi, you guys. I have a very long letter for you, so sit down and make yourselves comfortable. I will follow up with some ideas for your trip to New Zealand in my next letter. Mike is also arranging to get some information on various tourist locations and attractions around New Zealand.
        So, without any further small talk, here is my story.

Letter 23 – Part A Background.

Index of Letters.                      Return to Letter 23 Part A.

Also see - Brian's Page.

Hello from Allan and Anne.
            This story was supposed to be just a shorter one concerning the idea Shandra had for a party called A Ripper Stripper Party. But during the writing process, the story quickly grew to become the longest story in Volume One. Because of this, we have decided to divide it into three parts, published over three weeks.
            When we came to write the background, we decided to divide our background story into three parts as well. In this first part, I am going to tell you an interesting account of how we wrote the complete story in a very short time period, and then next week, Shandra will be telling you where she came up with the idea for this story. In our final background for this story, Susan will look at some of the special acts.

            So, how did we go about writing this story? As I have said already, Shandra came up with the idea, which she will tell you more about next week. Since this letter was supposed to have been written in New Zealand by Shanti, we decided that Anne should take on the project, as Shandra was involved in a couple of other stories already.
            From the start, Anne struggled with this, and after a couple of weeks, she had nothing more than a page or so to show for her efforts. Then the whole project stalled as Anne moved on to begin working on other letters and stories. For a while, we even went as far as considering dropping the idea altogether.

            Now it was getting close to Christmas, so Anne and I were planning a holiday away camping at a beach near Whakatane, which was well known as an unofficial nudist beach. When Susan heard about our plans, she asked if she and her boyfriend could come with us. Then, when Shandra wanted to join us too, we had a problem with her parents. They didn’t really want her to go camping, but Anne paid them a visit and somehow convinced them to let Shandra go. (I don’t know why, but for some reason, Shandra’s parents have a lot of respect for Anne. They must think of her as an angel or something.)
            Then a new problem arose when Shandra’s sister, Reshma, asked if she could come too. Of course, it was just our luck that Anne had done such a good job, and Shandra’s parents thought Reshma's going was a great idea. Going to a well-known nudist beach and a 16-year-old girl wanting to come with us, I think you can see what our problem was.
            Well, Shandra finally decides to take her sister aside and explain just what this camping holiday was going to be like. We hoped she would quietly decide to pull out, but as you know, things don't always go according to plan. Reshma was at first a bit surprised when she learnt that this beach was a nude beach, but then she asked if she needed to go nude too. When Shandra said no, she didn’t and then Reshma surprised us all by saying she was OK with that and she still wanted to come. (This real conversation has actually inspired some other conversations in the Letters stories.)

            We selected our camp at a site near the far end of the beach, where it was a bit more private. We quickly set up three tents, one for Anne and me, one for Susan and her boyfriend Brian and the third for Shandra and her sister.  (See Brian's Page for more on this nude camp and writing Letter 23 and Letter 36.)
            After the camp was set up, it was down to the beach for a quick swim before we began preparations for dinner. We all decided to go nude, not even bothering to take anything except a couple of towels. We were ready to set off down the track when Reshma emerged from her tent. She was wearing a one-piece swimsuit, and I think she was a bit surprised to see all of us naked. I don't know why, as she had been warned, we would be going nude most of the time. But she came with us, anyway and went swimming still wearing her one-piece.
            That was the last time we saw her in that swimsuit. The next morning, Reshma was wearing a T-shirt and shorts. It was obvious she wore nothing much underneath. When we went swimming, she quickly slipped off these clothes and joined us topless, wearing only Shandra’s bikini bottom. Later that afternoon, she went without even the bikini bottom, naked like us. For most of the rest of our holiday, she remained like that, only putting on clothing when it got cooler in the evenings.

            The first evening, while we were sitting around the fire, Anne told us how much trouble she was having writing, and she asked if we could help her. A plan was quickly made to work on this project while we were camping. Over the next eight days, the story took shape in the form of a pile of handwritten pages.
            Very quickly, the problem turned from trying to think what to write to trying to select the best of a number of great story ideas. Six people brainstorming, six people coming up with great ideas and improving each other’s ideas. Here is the result: The Ripper Stripper Party.
            Some ideas that were left over were kept and became the base for the second Ripper Stripper Party.
                        (See Letter 36 Ripper Stripper Party 2.)

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.
                        Anne, Allan, Shandra and Susan.

            To Shanti,

                    Auckland,
                        New Zealand.

Dear Shanti and Mike,
        Thanks for your letter. Thanks also for your photos. It’s always good to receive both, but I’m not knowing which to like the best. Well, our correspondence is continuing, and in the interest, it is continuing too. I never know where it might be taking us next time. But always we are interested, and that is the most important idea.
        The idea of you on that beach all alone with a stranger hidden nearby is very exciting, but also, don’t you think it was a little dangerous for you, too? We don’t think you should be going to such lonely places in the dark, by yourself. That man could be a bad man, willing to do those terrible things to you.

Hello from Shandra.

            As you have probably realised, this is a fill-in story to keep the order of letters flowing back and forth between New Zealand and India. Later, when the Letters become Stories, there will be no need to maintain this order.
            Joseph opens this letter by telling Shanti that while her story was exciting, it was also really dangerous, and she shouldn’t be taking such a risk by being on a lonely beach at night. I think you would expect a good friend to offer a warning like this.

            In the next part of his letter, Joseph talks about what a Ripper Stripper Party might be about. Both he and his wife, Lizamoa, are looking forward to reading Shanti’s next story about this interesting event. (I suppose all you readers are as well.)

            The final section of the letter is about their travel plans for their trip to New Zealand. Joseph is asking about possible places to visit, as well as asking Shanti and Mike if it is possible to stay at their house.
            He mentions Lizamoa is asking if it is possible to visit s topless or nude beach. From here! Joseph is a bit surprised at that.

            There is a PS at the end of this letter where Joseph describes the four photos included in the letter, which they decided to enclose at the last moment. These photos show the three couples who played the game “Strip” in India before the game began. This was back in Letter 18 - Playing ‘Strip’ in India.

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.
                        Shandra.

Forward to Letter 22.

From Shanti,            
Titirangi,            
Auckland,            
New Zealand.            

            To Joseph,
            The Game Reserve,
            Andhra Pradesh,
            India.

Dear Joseph and Lizamoa,
        Again, we thank you for a lovely letter and an interesting story too. We are doing well here in New Zealand, and we hope you both are doing the same over there, too.

        Here are the last four photos of the “Red Sari Series.” Now you can see the end of the story. Yes, Joseph, you did guess the ending in your last letter. Here are Mike and I on the floor, as you can see, we were doing two different sexual positions. Do you like them?
        I think it is very sexy to know you both will be seeing photos of us like this. But then, you've already sent us some of you and Liz together, so I suppose it's to be expected that we would return some of us too.

        I showed your fantasy idea to Mike, and he made a couple of suggestions to make the show even sexier.
        What if both you and Mike walk into the hall naked and take a seat on the stage? You sit for a few moments, legs wide open as you both play with your cocks. Get them nice and hard. At that point, both Liz and I walk in, both naked, too. We walk up onto the stage, Liz going to Mike, while I go to you, Joseph. Facing the audience so they can see all the action, we fuck you both until you almost cum. At the right moment, we lift off you cocks, reaching between our legs to grasp you with our hands. When you cum the audience can watch your cum shoot out in front of us.
        Do you and Liz like that better?

Letter 21 Background

Index of Letters.                      Return to Letter 21.

Hello from Anne.

            First off, Letter 21 opens with Shanti telling Joseph about the last three photos of the Red Sari Series enclosed with this letter. The photos show Shanti and Mike in a couple of sexual positions. At this point, we decided the swapping of photos theme had run its course, so we dropped it after this letter. From here on, we will mention that photos have been sent or swapped, but there will not be another series like the Red Sari Series.

            Then the letter moves on to Shanti’s story, “Alone on the Beach.” While Allan and Susan were working on their story together, the second beach story from Letter 19, which you got to read two weeks ago, I found myself a bit on my own. I began to feel a bit lonely, a bit left out, which, when you think about it, was really quite silly. This is where the theme of this story came from.
            The basic story is actually very simple; a girl sitting on a lonely beach making herself cum while she fantasises about her boyfriend, meanwhile, up on the hillside in the darkness, a man is watching her. To me, this story had a couple of ideas that made it both a bit sexy and a bit dangerous at the same time. The thought of making myself cum while a complete stranger watched me became a big turn-on for me. Then the fact that it took place on a lonely beach at night also added that element of danger, as well.

            When the story was almost finished, Allan began reading it one day. He mentioned that Shanti and Mike could have been talking with each other on the internet the night before, and she would be reliving that conversation in her mind as she made herself cum. I liked the idea, but it took a bit of rewriting to work this into the story. Anyway, it is worth the effort as it made for a far better story.

            Finally, Shanti finished the letter by promising a really good story next letter. This is the big one, the Ripper Stripper Party which we will get to read in Letter 23. But first, there will be a short reply from Joseph, Letter 22.

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.

Forward to Letter 21.

From Joseph,            
The Game Reserve,                
Andhra Pradesh,                    
India.                        

            To Shanti,
                Titirangi,
                    Auckland,
                        New Zealand.

Dear Shanti and Mike,
        We were pleased to get your letter and even more delighted when we found there was another story for us to enjoy. It was good to hear that you are happy with our travelling plans. We will be able to take 3 or 4 weeks, but which time is the best time to visit New Zealand? I have heard it can be cold and rainy in the wintertime time so maybe we should planning the summer is best.
        So we are still seeing more of the “Red Sari Series”, but the red sari disappeared many months ago. Yes, we see you both on the floor. Is it the massaging that you're both getting up to? What will you both be getting up to within the next letter? Maybe it will be the sex. Please tell me it is.
        Now we are happy to read your story. Lizamoa said it was a little bit like the other beach story, but she liked this one better. I am thinking you always seem to be losing the red bikini. My advice is, don’t be buying the red bikini again.
        I was a bit confused with your last two stories. It seems in your last letter you are younger than in the story before. Can this be right? In the first story, Lizamoa thinks you and Mike are married, while in the last, it seems you are dating. Also, which is the first time skinny dipping? It can't be both times. I am confused.

Letter 20 Background

Index of Letters.                      Return to Letter 20.

Hello from Susan.

             Shandra and I writing together for Letter 19 was so successful that we decided to try a similar style again, but this time I teamed up with Allan. You will notice that the writers are now beginning to mix up the characters we are writing about and working together on stories as well, which is having the effect of blurring our different writing styles, but at the same time making for much better letters and stories.
            By the time this letter was written, we had begun reading our work to each other at the group writers' meetings. Usually, others have suggestions on how our stories could be improved, and so as we began working on these suggestions, our stories changed, from the way we would probably have written them ourselves.
            My boyfriend Brian sat in on the writers' meeting when this story was read to the group. He enjoyed it so much that he asked me later what this letters thing was all about. It was at this point that he became involved in the project.

So, How Did We Write This?

            We wrote this story using two different viewpoints, with Allan taking Joseph’s view and me taking Lizamoa’s. We first wrote down some ideas separately about how this story should go, then we worked together writing a story outline. Next, we began filling in the outline using our separate notes until we had completed the major sections of the story. We then went back over the story, filling in and changing details here and there. Finally, we did a major work-over of the conversation, adding in a lot more, including some of the sounds made during the sex scenes.
            Writing a story like this was a major change for us, and we believe the story that was produced took our writing skills to another level. For a while, this Letter stood out as being so different, but you will notice that over time, other letters will begin to reflect this same style of writing.

Now, The Ideas Behind This Story.

            We had two great stories about Shanti and Mike at the beach, sharing some very special moments between them, so we thought it would be great to have a special story from India, too. We also wanted a story that would develop the personalities of Joseph and Lizamoa while at the same time showing the close relationship between them. The perfect solution was this story about one special evening when they were able to achieve a new level in their relationship with each other.

There Are a Few Interesting Ideas.

            First, I wanted to break the traditional Indian idea of the man being the head of the house. Catching Joseph in the shower allowed Lizamoa to take the lead in the scene that followed. She played this to the full, and they both were surprised to discover that they rather liked her doing it.
            Secondly, Allan added something from his and Anne’s sex life;- walking into the shower fully clothed. I had found this a turn-on when Anne told me she did this, and so we decided Lizamoa would do it too. You will find in future stories that Lizamoa does this several times with some interesting variations of it, too.
            Thirdly, we wanted to explore the idea of talking dirty as well. Lizamoa in the story admits she has never used the words she used here, which was a sudden turn-on for both her and Joseph as well. Again, this is an aspect of sex we hadn’t considered before, and so it was a bit of extra fun to try it in this story. You will see ideas from this story appear in several future stories, too. The outcome for Joseph and Lizamoa; a greatly improved sex life.

Criticism of This Story.

              Some negative points about this story influenced how we wrote future stories. First, Joseph was apparently telling this story, so how could he know what Lizamoa was thinking? Now, in larger stories, we tend to give different sections to different characters to tell. It became confusing for readers. Secondly, we weren't comfortable with the sex noises, so we have never really used them again.

            So what do you think of this story? It is different, one of the best up until this point. It's really stepping out there for us, experimenting, taking a risk. In many ways, defined many of our future stories.
            I enjoyed working closely with Allan. He is a great guy and a good writer, too. I wish I could find a man like him.   (I did actually - him!)

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.

From Shanti,

            To Joseph,
            The Game Reserve,

            India.

Dear Joseph and Lizamoa,
        Wow! So you two got to play “Strip.”The thought of you guys stripping to the fate of cards is almost as thrilling as when I got to do it the first time myself. Did Lizamoa enjoy stripping and baring her body in front of those men, too? I know you well enough, Joseph, to know that you welcomed any chance to bare your erection for the ladies. Am I right?
        That fantasy proved that. Just you with all those women watching you wank off. Wow! What about something even better? Why not get Lizamoa to also walk on naked, then sit in your lap facing the audience? They can watch her sit on your cock. Watch her take a cock that they are not allowed to have. Seeing your cock sliding in and out as she fucks you. Would that would be sexier?

Letter 19 Background

Hi from Susan.

            I am a friend of Shandra and Anne. This is the first background story I have written for our online version of Letters because this was the first story I helped with from start to finish. Since Allan did a great job writing the background for Letter 17 Background, we thought it was a good idea for me to have a go at one too.
            I wanted to try something different. A different font colour, headings, etc. See how this works.

The Letter Opening.

            This letter opens with Shanti commenting on the story about Lizamoa and Joseph playing the game ‘strip’ with their friends. This talking about being nude then led to her talking about the next few photos from The Red Sari Series. In these photos, Mike and Shanti are giving each other a full nude massage.
            Next, Shanti added some more to Joseph's sexy adventure. She suggested that Lizamoa should join him nude and fuck him in front of all those women.

Now, About Writing the Story.

            Shandra had been given the story about playing the game ‘Strip’ in India, and she was a bit disappointed that she couldn’t go all out and write a great story, one even better than the ‘Strip’ story Anne had done. She then heard that Anne and Allan were working on another story about skinny dipping and sex on the beach. We were all together one day when Shandra told Anne that she would like to write a story with a similar theme.
            Anne replied that she should give it a go. The problem was that it was very unlikely that in a crowded country like India, Joseph and Lizamoa would ever get a chance to skinny dip and make love on a beach. So Anne suggested that she should write a story about Shanti and Mike. Since Allan and Anne had teamed up to write the first beach story, Shandra decided to ask me to join her in writing this second beach story. We got together, and this is the outcome.

The Story.

            This story is set on an east coast beach north of Auckland. There are a couple of beaches that might just fit, but we didn’t really have a particular beach in mind when we wrote this story. The main features we needed in this story were a lonely beach and rough surf. There also needed to be a private place where they could have sex together after their swim. A line of sand dunes behind the beach worked perfectly for this.
            We knew that Anne and Allan were writing a story based on their first time together, but we didn’t know they were also writing about the first time Shanti went skinny dipping as well. So we based our story on the first time Shanti ever went nude swimming at a beach. It was not until later that we realised we had actually written about the same thing.
            We also realised that in Anne and Allan's story, this couple appeared to be married, while in our story, they appear to be dating. Perhaps if we had managed to swap places, our stories might have fitted better, but we didn't realise this second mistake until we were preparing to publish this second story.
            At first, we considered changing one of our stories, but then, since both were great stories, we decided to leave them both just as they were. So here it is: Shanti’s second time skinny dipping for her first time. Or is this her first time skinny dipping, and Story 17 is her second time? Ha! Ha! Who knows, and in the end, who really cares?
            The story talks about the first time Mike took Shanti to a surf beach, and she enjoyed this until she ended up getting sand inside her bikini. She took it off to clean out the sand just as a wave hit, sweeping the bikini out of her hand. She ended up swimming naked in the surf. One point we thought about later was why Mike didn’t join her naked as well. At the time, we never thought about him doing this.
            Of course, there had to be a sex scene up in the sand dunes where Shanti and Mike made love to each other. It was a bit different because of the sandy location; in fact, Shanti was a bit reluctant at first because of the sand, but still, the sex scene worked fairly well. After they had sex together, they still had to get back to their car without Shanti being seen by anyone.

Other Details.

            In this story, Shandra and I used a slightly different style of writing where we each took the point of view of a different person and merged them into one story. This appeared to work well, and it stands out differently from other letters before it. Even in the story, Shanti mentioned it, and she explained the difference by saying that she got a lot of help and input from Mike. Writing this way worked so well that we gave it another go in Letter 20, where I teamed up with Allan to write that story.
            After reading our story, Anne suggested a reason why Shanti took off her bikini, which she then lost in the surf. This worked better than our original idea, where we didn’t really say why Shanti took her bikini off. Finally, after Allan worked on the conversation a bit for us, we had another good beach story. Hope you all enjoy it.

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.

            To Shanti,

                        New Zealand.

Dear Shanti and Mike,
        Thank you for the very good letter with the very good story too. Also, I am thanking you for the very good photos as well. In return, I also are having a good story to be telling, too.
        But first, we want to be asking about you in New Zealand. If you are, in fact, healthy? Are you in the best happiness? We hope to hear that you are. Now here in India, we also are very healthy too. We enjoy to be getting the best correspondence from you because each letter has much of interest for us. Please send us the complete copy of our letters so we can also see them all together.

Letter 18 Background.

Index of Letters.                      Return to Story 18.

Hello from Shandra.

            Finally, we come to the story about how they played ‘Strip’ in India. However, first, notice that Joseph was in such a hurry to get into his story that he hardly mentions the photos Shanti had sent, and only briefly talks about gathering all the letters into one book. We purposely wrote the letter in this way to present more of Joseph’s character, or dare I say, that he was just like a typical guy.
            But once his story started, Joseph side-tracked to a fantasy he had of wanking in front of a room full of women. Is this a real fantasy for men? Three horny teenage women thought it might be. You'll see this fantasy is improved upon during the next few letters.

            I was a little disappointed that I had to intentionally make this story not as good as the one that Anne wrote for Shanti. I wanted to write a better story than hers, and I think I could have, too, but I understood the reason why Joseph’s story shouldn’t be better than Shanti’s.
            The problem is that Joseph is not as good as Shanti at writing stories and letters since English is his second language, and so, of course, the story had to reflect this. So by putting in a bit of bad grammar and using the typical way Indians talked, I added to this effect, too. You will notice that Joseph’s English will improve with time.

            Notice Joseph spent as much time telling you about the people who were going to play the game as he did in actually telling you about the game. He also made no attempt to tell you the rules or anything like that. My intention was to give Joseph’s impression of the game rather than give a complete and accurate account.
            A final touch to make it more readable was to get Joseph to copy off Shanti’s story by adding a list of the players and what they were wearing. At the end of the story, we added another small chart giving the final results of the game. In the end, it turned out to be a pretty good story, and it is quite different to Shanti’s.
            This story is important to the letters series since it introduces us to two more couples, Sarvesh and his wife Amita; and Jeevan and his wife Mandara. These two couples will appear in many of the great stories we have for you in future letters. By building up the size of our cast, we could now write a greater variety of sexy activities and adventures.
                        Regards from Shandra.

September 2016.
            When this story was being written, we were wondering where this series of letters/stories was taking us. We realised we needed something to generate more sexy stories. That is where the idea came up that one couple needed to visit the other, then later the other couple could make an exchange visit. Little did we know it at the time, but it would take until the end of Volume 4 just to complete the stories about both of these trips.
            So to start this new direction of Letters off, Joseph ends his letter with a P.S. hinting that he and Lizamoa might be able to come to New Zealand to visit Shanti and Mike. This idea will develop over the next few letters until the actual trip is organised. We think doing it this way, over a series of letters, is much more realistic than Joseph just saying, “Hi, we are coming to New Zealand,” and then turning up there in the very next letter.
                        Regards again from Shandra.

December 2023.
            During the recent work on recoding and correcting the early stories of this blog, Anne has given me permission to rewrite and improve this story. I've added more detail and some conversation while trying to keep within our writing style and the ability of that period in our writing.
            This is the first step into social nudity for everyone in this game. I wanted to capture this in the story. Finally, I wanted to get those at the table to agree they would be open to doing something like this again. Joseph mentions the possibility of a nude picnic. Even the shy Mandara thought this was a good idea.
                        Regards yet again from Shandra.

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.
                        Shandra.

From Shanti,            
Titirangi,            
Auckland,            
New Zealand.            

            To Joseph,
            The Game Reserve,
            Andhra Pradesh,
            India.

Dear Joseph and Lizamoa,
        That was another interesting letter from you. I am always glad to get letters from my dear friends in India.
        Yes, we can make our correspondence into a book. I have a computer, the one that I type all my letters to you on, and so I can open the file where all my letters are located and then add your ones in. These will then give us a complete set of every letter that has been posted between us. I can then print off a set for you, too.

        We found and enjoyed the nude photos of you both. Yes, of course, we liked them, and they have been added to our growing collection of photos sent by you. Mike was interested to view Lizamoa with her body bare for his inspection, but I was more interested to see you with that great erection sticking out. The final touch was when you caught the hidden watcher on film. I really liked that, what a nice touch, although I think you said it might have been by accident. Thank you for these photos.
        In return, here are our nude photos. But the Red Sari Series has not ended yet. Yes, I know I am standing before you naked, showing everything I have got, but there is more to the story yet. For you to know what happens next, you are going to have to be patient and wait until my very next letter to arrive. I wonder how you are going to keep yourself entertained in the meantime. So there you are. We are before you in the nude. What do you think? I know what I think. It makes me so very randy just to think of you viewing my naked body.

Letter 17 Background.

Index of Letters.                      Return to Story 17.

Hello from Anne and Allan.

            Hi, I am Anne’s partner, Allan. Since I was involved in writing this story, we decided that it was time I did a background story for one of the letters in ‘The Letters of Shanti and Joseph.’

            Before we get to the story, I want to talk about Shanti’s opening first. The letter opens with further ideas on how they can make this series into a book. This will develop until, in a later letter, you will read that Shanti does, in fact, get all the letters into one book. Having all these letters together in one book is an important part of some future stories.
            As has been mentioned in previous backgrounds, the real Anne and Shandra had been thinking about this same idea for a while, too. Finally, they did get the Letters series together into bound volumes. Now we all have our own copies of the Letters Story, which get updated as letters are added or changed.

            Next are Shanti’s comments on the photos sent by Joseph and Lizamoa of them both nude. When this letter was originally written, both Anne and Shandra were turned on by the idea of swapping sexy nude photos with a total stranger. Once they hatched the idea of the Red Sari Series striptease, the whole thing quickly developed into this exchange of photos. In this letter, we learn that Shanti sent off nude photos of herself and Mike in return. But notice she teases Joseph by saying there is still more of the series to go.

Now on to the story.
             This story is very special to Anne and me for two reasons: -
            First, this is the first time that Anne and I had worked on an entire story together. Up until this letter, I had been involved in a number of stories and letters, but usually, I was just adding extra conversation or improving small sections. Yes, back then, I was their conversation expert. This time, I was involved in the story from beginning to end.
            Secondly, this story is actually based on a very special event in our relationship, the first time Anne and I made love together. For Anne, it was also the point where she lost her virginity. This explains why it is probably a bit more romantic than many of the other letters.

Let me tell you the true story.
            The location of the story is made-up. I do not know if there is, in fact, another beach beyond the main beach at the end of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula. The real story actually took place on Auckland’s west coast at a place called O’Neil’s Beach (look it up on Google). Just to add extra realism to the beach in this story, much later in Vol 8, Shanti and Mike took some visitors from India to their little secret beach to show them where this story took place. (See Story 106 The Little Beach.)
            In Anne and my case, we had a walk up over the hill from Bethell’s Beach (Te Henga) to get to O’Neil’s, which sort of explains the idea of walking up over the hills in the story. When Anne and I arrived at the beach, there were only a couple of people down at the very far end. It had been our intention to go hiking and not swimming, so we hadn’t brought our swimming gear, but since it was a hot day, we decided to go skinny dipping.
            Anne was OK with going nude in front of me because we had often gone skinny dipping either at this beach or at the hot pools near Helensville. It is fun to swim here as the surf is usually good and there can be some great waves. O’Neil’s is a popular surfing beach.
            Still naked after our swim, we retreated up into the sand dunes under some shady trees, where we stopped to have our lunch. After lunch then became me applying some sun lotion to Anne’s back, which then turned into more of a massage. As far as we can remember, the massage Shanti received in the story is similar to the one I gave Anne. She likes getting a massage from me, but it was the first time I had given her a full nude body massage, doing every part. Yes, I mean every! At first, I had not intended to do her pussy as well, but I did, and then I did I discovered how wet she was down there.
            Anne then asked if I wanted to make love to her. When I said yes, she admitted it was her first time. She didn’t need to say that because I knew that already.
            I decided the best position was with me on top for her first time, which I sort of knew. I gently entered her. She was tight and hurt a bit, but since she played a lot of sports, she was soon feeling OK. We could then start with my plan to give her an orgasm if I could. We actually didn’t make it that time, so I finished her by making her cum with my tongue.
            In the story, we had to change the lovemaking scene a bit since Shanti at that point was not a virgin, while in the real story, Anne still was. A closer version of the real first time between Anne and me appears in a much later story where the young Indian girl called Katrina has her first time with Shanti’s husband Mike.  (See Story 102 Katrina’s Story (Part Five))

            I know the story is not quite the same, but it is still a very special story for both of us, and I think for that reason I would have to rate it as one of my favourites too.
            Oh, and by the way, as far as we know, there was no one hidden in the bushes watching us, too. That came from this exhibitionism theme the girls had been exploring through these early letters. This was also a follow-up on the watcher seen in Shandra’s story about the photo session by the lake in India in Letter 14.

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.
                        Anne and Allan.

Dear Shanti and Mike,
        I am again thanking you for the great, sexy, erotic letters. The letters are very good, and like you, we are having the very large collection. I agree with you. The problem is that we are both having only the half collection. I am knowing whatever you are writing to me but I am forgetting whatever I am writing to you. If we get all the letters from both sides into one book, the ones I am sending and even the one you are sending and putting them together and that would be a very interesting book for us to be reading. Can we do this thing?

Letter 16 Background

Index of Letters.                      Return to Story 16.

Hello from Shandra.

            This is the second of the two small letters before we begin a series of five great stories, closely following each other. I think that more and more we were beginning to think about these letters as being published somehow and available for others to read. I believe that this began to drive us towards higher standards in our writing.

            The idea of creating a book was now well established, and we were just considering how we could do it. Back then, it was harder to get a book such as this bound, and so we were considering getting the equipment to do it ourselves. Of course, binding machines weren’t as cheap to buy as they are now, so at first we tried punching the pages and placing them in ring binders, then we looked at getting display folders and placing the pages in plastic pockets, but neither of these systems really worked for us.

            This letter contains more about the Red Sari Series as Joseph comments on the photos of Shanti topless. He then goes on to describe his physical reaction to seeing her like that and what he did with Lizamoa because of it. Then, because Shanti promised nude photos of both her and Mike, Joseph and Lizamoa included nude photos of themselves in this letter.

            In describing the photos taken at the small lake, Joseph points out the guy watching them from the bushes. This extra touch of him pointing out the watcher in one of the photos was suggested by Susan to add extra realism to my story “Nude Photography by the Lake” (Letter 14).

            The final part of this letter is about an attempt they made to play the game ‘Strip’ with their friends. It appears this was not possible due to personal reasons with their friend Amita, but Joseph assures us that it will be fine next time, and they will actually get to play the game.

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.
                        Shandra.

Auckland,            
New Zealand.            

            To Joseph,
            The Game Reserve,
            Andhra Pradesh,
            India.

Dear Joseph and Lizamoa,
        We were glad to get another letter from you in India. We hope that things are very good over there as they are here in New Zealand. We have a large collection of your letters and some great stories, too. It would be a very good idea to put all our correspondence together, both from you and from me, and make it into one book. What do you think?

Letter 15 Background

Index of Letters.                      Return to Story 15.

Hello from Anne.

            Originally, the next letter was supposed to be the story “Love on the Beach” by Allan and me, to be followed by Shandra’s story “Playing ‘Strip’ in India.” By now, we were putting all the letters and stories together into a folder with the idea of eventually creating a book. It seemed a bit unlikely that each couple would suddenly come up with another adventure so quickly, so we were looking for some way of slowing things down.
            The solution came in the form of another two short fill-in letters, which we used to develop some themes running through the Letters Series at this point. I know these two letters might not seem too exciting, but stay with us because following this, you will find five sexy stories, one after another.

            So, this letter opens with Shanti suggesting to Joseph that they collect all the Letters and put them into a book, which was kind of what we were looking at doing for the real Letters books as well. In the story, the Letters were eventually placed in black leather folders with copies printed off and given to all those involved in the stories. If you want to see how we produced the real Letters Books, go to the Main Index Page, and you will find a photograph of all six volumes.

            Shanti then talks about the photos that Joseph and Lizamoa sent. Particularly of interest to Shanti and Mike were the photos of Lizamoa topless. As Shandra said in her background for Letter 14, it is kind of surprising that Lizamoa sent her topless photos first without waiting for the ones from Shanti. It shows how turned-on they were becoming with swapping all these sexy photos.
            I must admit that us girls who were writing this were getting a bit of a turn-on from the thought of sending other people photos like these. The thought of sending a stranger a photo with our breasts bare was really bold and sexy. We had heard that a girl we knew had actually done that too, which was really where this photo-swapping idea came from.
            Next, Shanti gets to the story about how Joseph and Lizamoa did their photo session by the lake in the Game Reserve. I enjoyed reading Shandra’s story, and in bed that night, I was imagining it was me in the story.
            She then talks about how they found someone watching them and decided to carry on anyway. That was very sexy Shanti said, but even more was when they invited the guy over to get a closer view. I think the thought of doing that really captured Shanti’s imagination, too. Throughout this period, we had a thing about exhibitionism. We had this fantasy about being seen at a beach, either topless or nude, and this idea appeared in our writing a lot, too.
            But, of course, neither Shandra or I would dare do it. Perhaps Susan would have, but not us. As you will see in the next few letters, we eventually did get into exhibitionism, going both topless and nude is public beaches and pools. But that is getting ahead of ourselves. When this letter was written, both Shnadra and I were keeping our private parts well hidden, just fantasising about showing ourselves off in public.

            She finishes the letter by telling us she has enclosed the next few photos of the Red Sari Series, which show her now topless, and she promises that the next set of photos will show her and Mike nude.

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.
                        Anne.

Dear Shanti and Mike,
        Thank you very much for another letter. We are very happy when the post brings in letters from New Zealand to us because we are knowing them to be from you. We are enjoying this correspondence, and we hope that you enjoy it as well as we are too.
        Oh, my dear Shanti. You wouldn’t even listen to your mother about the wedding sari. You are very strong minded, I am coming to know. Ah, now, the thought of you performing your wedding naked. Please! Please! Put me at the head of the guest list.
        Shanti, you should have listened to your mother and husband, as wearing the wedding sari showing your submission to your husband. Shows you are open to following him and his ideas.

Letter 14 Background.

Index of Letters.                      Return to Story 014.

Hello from Shandra.

            Joseph opens his letter by telling us how much he enjoys getting a letter from New Zealand because he knows it will be from Shanti. He also says thank you for the story, they enjoyed reading it and writing out a list of the strip demands as they went. He also said how surprised he was to receive the parcel containing the game “Strip.” They have talked with some friends who are interested in playing it too.

            He then begins talking about the photos Shanti sent. He notices that in the next instalment of the Red Sari Series, Shanti will be topless. He says he will be enjoying these photos and then going to have a good time with Lizamoa. Later in the letter, he tells us that since Shanti is about to bare her breasts for them, Lizamoa has agreed to Joseph sending some topless ones of her in this letter. It is interesting how they didn’t wait for Shanti to go topless first, but jumped straight in themselves.

            His telling Shanti about the photos and their photography together leads nicely into the main story of this letter. The photos that were sent with this letter came out very dark because they were taken indoors. To get photos with better lighting outside, they decide to go to a private place by a small lake in the Game Reserve. While they are having their photo session, they discover someone watching them.
            Surprisingly, they continue with their photograph, each getting totally naked, knowing someone is watching. Later, Joseph even invites the guy to come up close a have a better look at Lizamoa while she poses naked for him.

☆       ☆       ☆       ☆       ☆       ☆       ☆       ☆       ☆       ☆       ☆       ☆       ☆       ☆       ☆

            This was another of my stories that got changed once my friends had viewed it. I came up with the Game Reserve idea based on the real Joseph’s original letter. He mentioned the Game Reserve where he worked, so we decided this might be a likely place to find somewhere outdoors and private in a crowded country like India.
            The idea of the hidden watcher was also always part of the story, but the major change was made in the part where Joseph invites the younger guy out to view Lizamoa up close. This was mainly the work of Allan and Susan, with Allan providing that short conversation bit leading up to the sexiest part of the letter. This is the second time we used conversation to build up towards a sex climax in a story. Again, I think it works well, don’t you?
            When we wrote about how Lizamoa lay back and played with her pussy and masturbated while a complete stranger was watching her and was masturbating too, it was just so hot and sexy for us young girls. The thought of doing such a thing was a bit turn-on for us, but at the same time, something we would never dare do. Then came the part where all three of them made themselves cum. What we didn’t even think about at the time was that the two guys could have cum all over Lizamoa’s breasts and pussy. But since the original story wasn’t written like that, we have decided to leave it as it always was.

            Remember this special place at the little lake in the Game Reserve because it will appear in many other stories. Also, don’t forget the secret watcher whom they discovered and invited over to view Lizamoa because he will be appearing in some future stories as well.

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.

Letters Extra - Playing Strip in Japan.

Index of Letters        Letter 13, Playing the Game Strip       Letter 13 Background

(In a few weeks, this post will be moved and linked with Letter 13 as an Extra Background.)

This is a True Story.

Hi, Anne here.   (2 Dec, 2013)
          This extra is going to be quite different to anything we have ever done before. Sakura and Tukiko agreed to tell us more about their evening in Japan. They had enjoyed the story in Letter 13, Playing the Game Strip, and they decided to have a go at this themselves. As can be seen in the comments below, they told me of their plan and asked for my advice.
          They then told us a very brief version of what happened that night. When they came to write this story again, they were unable to get started on it. I suggested they start with their comments and expand it into a story. With some feedback from them and help from Asami here in New Zealand, the idea evolved to us using the comments from Letter 13 Background and developing them into this story. 

          In the first comment dated 22 Nov, they told me they were considering playing a stripping game and asked me for any advice I could give them.
