ENERGIZE! Shower Gel (nsfw)

Thanks for the reply Monty. Be waiting for more!

I've been browsing a fitness,model site in search of "muses:" for "Baker's Dozen."

This picture put me in mind of the mom in "Energize!"

Model: Darlina Brown

Thanks Argo! Never thought I'd see this thread "re-surface"! Here's one of Sarah re-surfacing in her mum's hot tub at the family home...
ETA Looking forward to more Baker's Dozen!

I always hoped for a continuation of this story. Especially the power up of Sarah in the last two chapters intrigued me.

Thanks njae; It started around chapter Six Five. All credit goes to Rednecko for the transformation idea ... I would never have come up with his idea without his input. That's why the story discussions work well.

Yeah, the discovery of new powers through the use of the ENERGIZE! gel was one of my favorite parts of this series. Unfortunately things slowed down on that front when Emma and Claire were catching up to Sarah. There were a few hints with Emma's glowing as she used the ENERGIZE in the bedroom but nothing that could be considered a new super power like Sarah's transformation. I keep wondering how the storyline with Tiffany would have worked out in the end or if Sarah and Mark could have a nice time without the latter getting hurt for once.

Well, I've been tinkering around with DaZ3d and actually made a small scene inspired by Sarah's first flight. Not too accurate to the actual chapter but I thought I might as well share.

The pictures you have created are brilliant! Thankyou Njae!

You're welcome. But it is interesting how fast you can get results with Daz3d. A few years ago I tried Poser but found it a bit too hard to learn (plus a few problems with my PC). Now with DaZ3d things are way easier - and using IRAY makes it pretty clear that I should turn my back on AMD if I ever want to make a scene with background in reasonable time. The bathroom is really simple, yet each pic took several hours to render.

njae,

Nice pics, I liked this story too, wish it had continued.

I was an AMD fanboy for years, but after starting to use DAZ a couple of years ago, switched to Intel CPUs and now have 2 970 GTX for Iray. You have a nice start there, keep up the good work.

I love the night scene landscaping in the background, it is as impressive as Sarah! I pick up Energize! every so often, but felt it was running out of steam (ouch!) towards the end. Thanks again Njae!

I've stayed loyal to AMD processors mostly because of their good prices and backwards compatibility. I even switched my broken AM3 Mainboard with an AM3+ back then, so that I could easily upgrade the processor when the time came. Of course DAZ3D is the first thing that actually uses all of these eight cores. In graphics AMD also offers more bang for the buck. Back when I bought my HD7870 I could decide between more performance or PhysX support. I took general performance. Won't happen next time.

The background was not part of DaZ3d but rather a background I had used for my futile attempts at mastering photoshop. Thankfully the render and photoshop mix well.
As for the story, I sound like a broken record if I say I'd like to see it continue. But if you think you wrote yourself into a corner, you could try to reboot the story as a new one. You wouldn't be the first author to do that and it would give us new RE-ENERGIZED stories to read.

Back in the day when Energize was rolling out, Lfan suggested an open idea for other writers to write their own versions but I wanted to keep the story "In the family" so to speak. After seeing Njae's great work and seeing still some interest in the story, if any writers want to pick up the 'bottle' and run with it, feel more than free. Goose had a splash around with the gel, and after I got over my "diva ways" (Yeah, yeah Goose, I remember my little tantrum!) ☺ I enjoyed the contribution. Anyway, the (shower) floor is open to anybody.

Now that's a really tempting idea. Part of me really wants to take you up on that offer.

So, I got an email from Emma this weekend. As you would expect, Emma doesn't mess about and can be (ahem) very forceful in her ways.

She said;
"Hey! What are you playing at? What the hell have you done with MY story? Get it sorted or I'm gonna fly over there and kick your ass!"

 

I could only reply;
Ok Emms, I'm on it...

Does this mean that the story has a remaster in its future?

It is hard to say. There is a new character introduction towards the end here. I'll be looking into a second draft tomorrow with a fresh set of energized eyes....and it will all depend on Emma's tolerance!

And here I thought, the main character was Sarah. Emma totally took over.

I found it hard to keep up with and maintain Sarah.
Woodclaw mentioned the very same thing as you have above.
I think Sarah became an introductory character as the story rolled out, but Sarah still has plenty of involvement. She definitely has her moments!
I think I had inadvertently pigeon-holed Sarah as the lab assistant who accidentally gained great powers. Her sister Emma became more of a fun, adolescent and interesting persona and character to run with.

Stories can evolve like that. You start with one idea and then it changes as things develop, and other things catches one’s interest.

After some thought last night, I'll bring Sarah back into the fold. After all, she has been the Super Inspiration.

"So Monts, did you really think you could leave me out, away from my shower? ​​​Could you?"

That is the latest chapter sent through to the library as per Emma's persistent requests.
(Phew, you really can't say no to all that power from the gal with the gel!)

 

Now to wait for a week until it's published, I guess.

Thanks Goose!
Here is Sarah and with her new-found fame, she has splashed out on a new swimming pool at her apartment. I tried to say, "Now don"t be putting your fizzing gel into the pool, young lady!"
Then I saw her video clip at 30 to 40 seconds...
I could only say, "Oh. ok then, so do what you want to do"



(I wouldn't have been able to stop her anyway.) ​​​​​​
