Sunny Sunday - End of the Week Edition

Hot Pressed

Despite all the recent distractions, I'm still been making progress on this story. I'm at a bit of crisis stage with what I'm going to do with it when I'm done, however. The length is not so much the issue, but the simple fact is that it hasn't really turned into a smut story while I've been writing it.

Yes, there's mind control. Yes, there's bodily transformations. But so far there's been very little body horror, and no sexual situations whatsoever. The main romance is going to be more of a one night stand at the end due to the length of the story and where it's been taking me. The main character just won't be spending enough time for the potential love interest for sparks to fly.

I could increase the length to make the story a novel, but I'm not invested enough in the idea to do that, and that would require me to plot out a second half to the story. What I've got is a good starting point, but hell if I know what would happen in the second half if I did that.

And then even if I did that, I'm not sure where I'd post it. I could post it here, but it wouldn't really fit in with the other smut I'm writing. Maybe ya'll would be interested in it anyway.

What a pickle. Perhaps I should just cut my losses and release it when I get to the original plotted stopping point.

While I wrestle with that dilemma, I did sit down this week and figure out what the airship interior should look like so I can write the "final" scenes with some consistency. It's almost time for some action, some battling, and some sexy times.

Now if only I knew where I was going with this story... how frustrating!

Robotic Restitution

I finished editing another chapter this week, putting me at 15/20, with six chapters remaining. That will conclude the most time consuming part of writing this trilogy, though there still remains another proofreading pass to go once that is done.

After each chapter is finished with editing, they seem to gain between 300-400 words in length on average. This shouldn't be too much of a problem, since the last two book are around 65,000 words now, slightly under the target of 70,000. I don't see the need to cut anything out, so that's good news.

I've fooled around with images trying to figure out covers, with no success. That process will have to continue in the upcoming weeks.

I did, however, put together a synopsis for each of the three stories with tentative book titles. Everything is subject to change, of course. I know there's danger that Kindle books can be put into an adult-only box where they are not discoverable based on the synopsis, but I can't do too much about that. I have to be honest about what's actually in the story so I don't put off anybody who's actually interested.

 Here's what I've got:

 The Hive Elusive

 Adele is forced to visit her Aunt Clara by her father, Emperor of the Frysian empire, in order to remove her from danger while peace talks occur. Instead, she sails right into danger along with the rest of the crew on her ship. She is captured along with three other unfortunate crew members and subjected to sinister manipulations of body and mind. How long can she hold out before giving in to her robotic captors and their Hive? And what other underhanded machinations of her father will she discover along the way? Each careless action brings her that much closer to being the perfect Hive Drone.

 The Hive Advancing

Adele has been ransomed and sent back to her father. However, nothing is as it should be. Her memories locked away, she cannot remember the ordeal she has suffered at the hands of her captors or the blossoming romance she had experienced while in captivity. Worse, a corrupting intelligence has been implanted in her mind, fracturing it into multiple warring personas. Which persona will have the strength to succeed? Will anything be left of her original personality after the dust has settled? And will she ever remember the Drone that she loves?

With more Drones to deal with than ever before, how will she juggle each of her new companions to keep them all satisfied while fulfilling her duties as Director?With Hive spreading, can anyone in the empire stop the invasion?
