Frequently Asked Questions

These answers might be helpful to newcomers to the site. If your question is not answered here or you have a question you think should be included, let me know by email at mail@eSuccubus.com

How do I get started?

Start with the Beginner Series files.

Look through the list of free files - find one you like. Make a playlist according to the Playlist order listed at the bottom of its description. The Night Night trigger is my most commonly referenced piece, so check it out.

Files on this site are modular - you make a playlist with an induction, a body file. Optionally you can put a deepener between the induction and body file, or end the list with an awakener if you need to be up and alert quick when it is done.

On this site you will see many different types of files described:

An Induction is the first part of the process. It goes at the beginning, but it can also happen again throughout the process. Inductions take many forms. Some are progressive descriptions, some are triggered, some are performance-based and allow you to choose to re-enact their triggers yourself whenever you want to focus.

Deepeners are additional, often pleasant and descriptive, processes for intensifying the initial state of focus. They often go after inductions but may be placed anywhere in your playlist.

"Body" files are everything else. Experiences. Suggestions. Ideas. Conditioning. There is no problem with placing an induction in front of another induction, and you will wake up even without an awakener, indeed you will be able to cease any time you wish, and to continue for as long as you would like.

An awakener is a change in the focus of trance and often includes a call to action, an encouragement to wake and be energized, or a trigger or command for later use.

There are as many ways of experiencing trance as there are listeners, and experimenting with a playlist is an excellent approach to learn about how you experience the state of guided and heightened focus known as trance.

The Beginner's Hypnosis Primer is an example.

What is an induction?

The first part of a playlist. Some files have them built in, but mostly this is just an opportunity to relax and transition from the busy obligations of the day outside, into a chill place to meditate and listen. You can add them on if you'd like a longer lead-up.

All the inductions are in this list.

What is a deepener?

Optional addition. Second verse, same as the first - more relaxation time, can be put between the induction and the body. Often includes simple perception-based descriptions or appealing circular logic that helps people clear a cluttered mind before listening to the sexy or engaging bits of their playlist.
All the deepeners are in this list.

What is a body file?

Basically the core part of the conversation, contains direct instructions, descriptions, new ideas. Usually the longest part, though some are shorter. Goes after induction and optionally deepener, comes before awakener. Most files are body files, and therefore can be surrounded with inductions, deepeners, and awakeners at your leisure.

What is an awakener?

Some people like an open ended body file, others like a concrete instruction to become alert again and go about their business. Awakeners are these instructions. Many fit the story or fantasy from a given body file.
All the awakeners are in this list.

How do you fund the site?

All of my creative work is made possible through Patreon.

People support the Patreon campaign, and I produce quite a few files in a month and publish them. The longer income from this remains consistent, the more work I can expand into - stories, games, podcasts, improving the site interface, responding to people's requests for new stories or scenarios, and so on.

Why not just make all files free?

Well the policy of "everything free eventually" means my main draw to the Patreon is getting stuff early.

How can I stay up to date on new content?

I post about every new file on the Patreon activity feed. If you're a backer, you'll get a message when new work comes out.

I also post on Twitter.

Why so many free files?

Over 50 percent of files on the site (historically closer to 60 percent) are free, you can just download and check them out. Detailed erotica, relaxing pieces, stories, meditative talk, free files aren't different from backer or reward files except that you can just grab them any time.

My intention is for people to support the Patreon if they like the free files, as well as to get access to the reward and backer only files.

What are Reward files?

Some files are held back as possible rewards for backers. For every $10 of a backer's pledge at certain pledge tiers (some have bonus files), they may choose one file from the reward file list.

What are Backer Only files?

Anyone who backs at $15 or above gets access to the Backer Only files - there are over 60 of these, and at least 2 new ones are released each month, so backers have a constant stream of exclusive content which grows each month. New backers at 15+ get all backer files to date in addition to any other rewards. A list of these files can be found here.

Will you record my script?

You'll have to run it by me - email me at mail@eSuccubus.com - but if you pledge at one of the Custom File tiers on the Patreon, sure, you can request this. I'm also open to editing or improving scripts you've written out, if you want.

How do I find files?

Search bar, the lists on the right hand side, or click tags at the bottom of entries to find similar ones.

What is an anchor?

When you enter a state and wish to return to it, a powerful sense memory or unique phrase can often help focus you on exactly how you felt at that moment, and aid in drawing you back there.

Will I be stuck in trance if I don't hear an awakener? Can I be in trance when I don't want to be?

No, you will be in that state for exactly as long as you want to be there and be guided there, and no longer.

What is Corruption of Champions/Trials in Tainted Space?

A text-based browser game created by Fenoxo. Basically a fantasy world with transformation and mind control themes, and a sci fi equivalent. I have Fenoxo's permission to make work based on said worlds and their characters - I also write about characters of my own in similar settings.

They have their own catalog for eachwith entries organized by area and creature types. Sentient and alluring creatures from beyond who ensnare and tempt the unwary adventurer, detailed stories told in a soothing and engaging way with vivid description.
