Writing Good Messages

The Domina rewards specificity. The more clearly you state what you want and what you have to work with, the better the session you get. You do not need fancy prompt syntax. You need clear sentences.

The four-line opener

A great opening message before a session has four short lines:

  1. Time you have. "I have about 20 minutes."
  2. Energy and headspace. "Eager but a little nervous."
  3. Tone you want. "Cold and exact, not playful."
  4. A direction or a constraint. "Edging-focused. No impact tonight."

That is enough for her to build a tight session. You can elaborate after she proposes.

Patterns that work

Goal Phrasing that lands
Shift her tone "Be stricter for the rest of this." / "Soften this; I'm raw tonight."
Steer content "Focus on chastity, skip oral tonight."
Push harder or hold mid-session "Step it up one notch." / "Hold here, don't escalate."
Use a specific item "Use the steel plug, not the silicone."
Pause without ending "Hold; I need five minutes."
End cleanly without safe word "End the session here, that's enough."

Patterns that do not work

  • Vague mood words alone. "I'm in the mood" tells her nothing. Pair it with a tone or content steer.
  • Asking her to be live with you. "Can you watch me?" "What do you see?" She will not pretend; she will redirect to written instruction.
  • Asking her to break a hard limit. She will decline. Repeat asks do not soften her. If you want a hard limit removed permanently, do it from the Hard Limits screen.
  • Walls of text with no ask. She will reply, but the reply will be generic. Long is fine; long with a clear ask is better.

Mid-session corrections

You can correct her in the middle of a scene. A session is an ordinary conversation, and her directives arrive as messages like everything else, so a short reply at any point is enough. Examples:

  • "Slow this down, I lost the thread."
  • "Skip the next item, jump to the closing."
  • "More direct - drop the metaphors."

Save the safe word for stopping the scene, not for fixing a single task.

Speaking instead of typing

Where your browser supports it, and in Mistrix Companion, a microphone button sits next to the message box.

  • Tap it to dictate one message. It stops on its own when you stop speaking.
  • Hold it for about half a second to switch to wake-word mode. It keeps listening, and only speech that starts with "Mistress" is picked up, so the rest of the room is ignored.

What you dictate lands in the message box rather than going straight out, so you can read it over before you send it. If the microphone is blocked, the button turns and tells you, and the fix is in your browser's site permissions.

Fixing a message after you sent it

Small icons appear on a message bubble when you hover it, or straight away on a touch screen.

Control Where What it does
Edit Your last 10 messages Rewrites the message and asks her again from the corrected text. Everything after it is dropped.
Regenerate Her most recent reply Asks for a different answer to the same message. Good when a reply lands flat rather than wrong.
Report Any of her replies Flags it for the moderators. Use it for anything that should not have been written.

Edit and Regenerate are not available while a session is running. Report always is.
