Ernest Bywater
Ernest Bywater was born and bred in Sydney, Australia in the mid 1950s. He was the youngest of three children born to a local truck driver and a mother with a rare eye condition. She went totally blind before he started school. Thus he grew up in an environment where nothing was left near a table edge, and he spent a lot of time in an adult world as his mother's eyes while still a child. After leaving school at 16 he's worked at everything from door-to-door sales to middle management while also earning many qualification through studies in his own time. At work he wrote many millions of words in reports, technical documents, and training documents. Since his retirement due to health issues he's written over 3 million words of fiction stories in over 100 stories as novels, novellas, and short stories.

Damsels in Distress Universe Rules - Ernest Bywater
Background
The Damsels in Distress (DiD) universe was created by Lazlo Zalezac. It is his brainchild and he is the final arbitrator of what does and does not constitute the allowed DiD canon. He has been very free in what he's allowed so far. He also opened the universe for others to write stories in. The rules of the universe have been mentioned in various stories, and they've grown with the stories. Most of the rules mentioned here are from the stories by Lazlo, others are rules and expansions provided in stories by other authors and were approved by Lazlo. However, there are some stories set in the universe that have unapproved changes or break minor rules. Even so, most of those stories are good reading.
The bulk of the DiD universe stories are on the web site Stories on Line (SoL), storiesonline.net, and many include graphic sex scenes. Some stories do not include graphic sex scenes and are also available at SoL as well as at Fine Stories (FS), finestories.com. Most of the canon has been spelled out in the early DiD stories at SoL, and much of this has been repeated in the early Chaos Calls stories set in the DiD universe so the information is there for those reading them on the FS site.
The basic concept is women from the planet Cassandra travel to the planet Chaos to place themselves in danger, then a man from Earth comes and rescues them. After the rescue they go to Crossroads and have sex until the woman is pregnant. Crossroads is an administration centre, and each Earth Hero involved has a female assistant / co-ordinator there.
The Worlds
There are four worlds used in the main universe - Earth, Crossroads, Chaos, and Cassandra. There is a spin off series that uses another set of portals going to another section of Crossroads then to another world, this is not part of the main DiD canon and rules, but it has not been ruled out, either. You need to read the relevant stories for the rules of that planet, if you're interested in it. Those stories are on SoL in the DiD story list.
Cassandra
The planet of Cassandra was involved in a war some centuries earlier than the stories are set in. There were DNA changes in the men and women of Cassandra as a result of after-effects of some of the weapons used. It's almost impossible for the men to get the women pregnant, and they all reach orgasm very quickly during sex. The weapons' effect on the men is sending them mad with a form of dementia. Thus, very soon after the war the men were unable to handle any form of leadership role. All Cassandrans have a much longer lifespan than the people of Earth do, and the women are attractive to males from both Earth and Chaos.
Crossroads
Crossroads is a facility on a habitable moon near the spatial centre of the triangle formed by
