Week End: Sad Horn Noise Edition

Dampest Dungeon: Flower Progeny


Progress on this story has been agonizingly slow. I'm still planning on getting it out for Wednesday, but plans are currently up in the air. I may have to put together an intermediate blog post before then... unless I can get some serious work done on it.

There's only a few scenes left, but I've found this more difficult to write than I had originally expected. Trying to maneuver the main characters into position for the finale has proven a challenge, and I'm still not completely happy with what I came up with. Oh well, I guess I just need to push myself to finish this out because I badly need to get back to Drone Metastasis.

Robotic Restitution: Drone Circus


I'm still making progress on this as well. I edited the third chapter last week, so everything is still on schedule.

I even spent some time working on the cover art, though I am nowhere near satisfied with what I have so far. That's going to require some serious work to get done on time.

And I still need to write a 'previously on' section for the last book to remind the readers what's been going on!

Yikes. I really need to buckle down and get some of this done. If only my health would cooperate!

Update


I pounded out a draft of the 'previously on' just now, so at least some more progress has been made! With any luck, the completed trilogy will be out at the end of the month!

Update Two

I pounded out the finish to Dampest Dungeon - Flower Progeny today, the story that has bedeviled me for a month. It turned out to be a fairly easy write once I broke the blockage. It's nothing more than a strange stroke story, but that's okay.

Turns out the setup is really too much for what it is, but hopefully somebody enjoys the ending at least, which got pretty hot in my opinion. Lots of strange, plant based sex and eggs. I do like writing about eggs for some reason.

Week End: Technically Saturday Edition

Desaturated Detente


I hope you all have been enjoying chapter two. There is one more chapter of this story to be posted, and I shall do so Wednesday.

Unfortunately, this story was blacklisted by Literotica, likely due to being fanfiction, so it is now only available here and on Hentai Foundry. Too bad.

Dampest Dungeon: Flower Progeny


I'd like to say I've made great progress on this story so that I can start on Drone Metastasis, but real life (tm) has not been great to me lately, so in turn I have not yet gotten back on the writing bandwagon.

I need to finish this before the end of this week, however, as I will need something to post on the blog next week!

At least I have plotted out what needs to happen next, and there's only really a few scenes that need to be written. I just need to scrape together the motivation to get it done.

Robotic Restitution


Chapter two has been edited, leaving five more to go. Five more weeks!

I'd be less frightened if I had actually started vectorizing the cover art, but I haven't, so indeed this is terrifying. I need to get my butt in gear if I actually want to have that done at the same time as the manuscript.

Additionally, I still need to write a 'previously on' section, so yay for more work!

So much to do, and so little motivation... it's kind of that doldrums where I need to keep pushing to get the last stretch done. I'm sure I'll make it, and I'm sure it will be painful.

Good luck to me!

Cheers everyone, and I'll see you again next week!

Week End: Dungeon Edition

Desaturated Detente


It looks like the first chapter has been fairly well received, though nobody has made a comment!

There are two more chapters to come, which I will be posting in the next two weeks - I need something to make Wednesdays interesting as we come up through the end of the year!

Up next: Wonder Woman has some fun with Black Shine, and Supergirl is in her crosshairs. More fun heroine bondage to come!

Dampest Dungeon: Flower Progeny


Progress on this story this week has been anemic, to say the least. Perhaps coming down off the success of Desaturated Detente has left me a little listless, but I must press on! Since this should be a shorter story, with any luck it should be done this week, though I won't be posting it until after my run of Desaturated Detente has completed.

To give you a taste of what's coming, let's just say that there's going to be some plant based tomfoolery going on in the dungeon. I have the main introduction scene fleshed out, but it's the interstitial that's kicking my butt. I just need to give it some quality time and it should come out in the wash.

This image by Lerra serves as inspiration. I love the idea of organism forced bondage.
I need to get my butt in gear on this one so I can start work on Drone Metastasis. That story is really what I ought to be working on right now!


Drone Circus: Robotic Restitution


I wish I could say progress was going smoothly on getting the final novel prepared, but of course it's giving me special problems!

Even so, I still managed to get the first chapter edited. With six more weeks to go, the final debut is coming up rather quick!

I had better get down to work on the cover again. I have a draft sketch of what I'd like to see in there, but it's much rougher than previous sketches. I suspect this last image will be the worst in terms of getting something looking acceptable.

Still, I shall prevail and get this all done!

Saturday, September 14, 2019

Week End Update: Second Book Published Edition!

Drone Shuffle: Robotic Restitution Book Two


As regular readers may know, book two is now out! Go find it in my previous blog post!

If you're waiting for book three, read the bottom blurb, I'll talk about it there.

A hearty thank you to everyone who has already taken a look!

Desaturated Detente


I've finished writing this commission. Wonder Woman and Supergirl are having lots of lesbian sex with each other and their Mistress. I still have twenty pages to edit before this is off my backlog. Again, depending on the commissioner, this may or may not be posted somewhere.

Dampest Dungeon: Flower Progeny


I've decided to start a new 'universe' for story ideas involving monsters that don't work in a more casual setting. Let's just say that unfortunate adventurers are often going to meet their fates in the darkest depths of the dampest dungeon.

Up first will be a strange tale of a captivating Alraune. This female plant girl is attractive, but dangerous. You won't know how dangerous she actually is until you step into her snare.

This being a short story, I expect to pound it out during this week's writing schedule, though I'm unsure whether it will be ready for Wednesday. If so, that would be ideal, but quite a squeeze. We shall see.

Drone Metastasis


The next project after Dampest Dungeon, I'm going to get back to working on this tale about what happens after the robotic Hive invades a city. I already have a ~3000 word starter which I need to review before I can dive back in again.

I suspect this may be a 3-4 chapter story, so I've got to get cracking on it soon!

Drone Circus: Robotic Restitution Book Three


Editing on this novel begins this week, and I expect it to take seven weeks to complete. At the same time, I'm working on the sketches for the cover, but I haven't come up with anything I like yet.

I'm an amateur artist, so I'm going to need to find some references to help me out. Gotta do some more research to bring it up to my standards (which, to be fair, I consider barely adequate, but one must start somewhere!)

Cheers!

Week End Update: All Engines Firing! Edition

Desaturated Detente

For a story with a target of 12,500 words, I'm getting close to smashing that barrier already. So far, I'm around 12,000 words, and there's at least another two bulky scenes that need to be written - likely another 5,000 words before I hit completion.

This will definitely be over the top of what I've been commissioned for, but over delivering doesn't bother me if it ties up the story neatly.

All that remains, really, is to have a few sessions training Supergirl, and then this story will be completed. It seems likely to me that I'll have this wrapped up by the end of the week, which would be nice, because I have so many other ideas on the docket!

Fallen Destiny

This has been on my mind for quite some time, and with a free day, I finally got a chance to write it. I've been a fan of the fallen fairy, mother D worm, and expand bee in 'Fallen Fairy' since I first noticed the game, so it was fun to dabble in that universe.

The readers on Literotica so far haven't enjoyed it, but oh well. Perhaps they are not futanari aficionados.

At least another story is off my backlog!

Robotic Restitution

I've finished editing the fifth chapter, so there's only one chapter remaining to edit! With the cover art finished except for some tweaking, I put this at a 90% chance that it will release this week. Now that I have the procedure written up for epublishing, I expect I won't need an extra week to get this formatted and released.

Look forward to it!

I've been thinking about what the cover for the last book should look like, but I haven't done any sketches yet. I'll have to tease out what this should be further before I commit to it.

The Future

I'm trying to figure out what to do this week. Since I'll still be working hard on getting Desaturated Detente finished up, I won't have anything to post! Either I need to write another short story, or I need to dip back into my well of old porn to talk about things I like.

Or, perhaps, I'll just get my second book published, and announce it. Doesn't that sound like a good idea? :)

Week End Update: Burbling Along Edition

Desaturated Detente


Only two projects are currently on the docket, though I'm debating whether to slip something in this week so that I have an opportunity to post something this Wednesday. Perhaps not, I really should probably take a break!

Anyway, this week on my commissioned piece, I'm working on the capture of Supergirl at the hands of a latexed villainess. Will she be able to resist her brainwashing charms, or shall she succumb at her hands and become her girlfriend and live in slave?

Well, the outcome isn't really in doubt, but how we get there? That's all the fun!

I'll ask the commissioner what he wants to do with the story as it nears completion. At my current rate of progress I'm predicting another week and a half before I finish this, as I'm about 60% done with the second and final chapter (depending on what training I decide to implement for the unfortunate heroine).

Robotic Restitution


Great news on this front. I finally broke my roadblock with the cover artwork in the last week and have made significant progress. I expect there's only a few hours of solid work left on the art for book two before I'll be able to call it complete.

Which is excellent news for the publishing schedule, as there are only two chapters left in this book to edit! I managed to do battle with the longest chapter last week, leaving two shorter chapters to edit in the weeks ahead.

This means I'm still on schedule to publish book two around the 15th. I'll certainly post here when it has been released!

Drone Metastasis


When I'm finished writing my commissioned work, my plan is to restart work on the 'sequel' story that takes place after the events of Robotic Restitution. There won't be any spoilers or characters from that trilogy involved - it will be standalone.

The goal is to advertise the Robotic Restitution trilogy as well as provide something free for the fans to read, so hopefully I can get a good move on this once I've cleared off the rest of my backlog!

Saturday, August 24, 2019

Week End Update: Superheros Ahoy!

Desaturated Detente

I've finished the first chapter of the superhero story that was commissioned of me and have delivered it to the commissioner (sounds almost like a police situation!)

Wonder Woman has experienced an unfortunate downfall at the hands of a latexed villainess. Most excellent. I've started work on the second chapter, which will have her also pursuing Supergirl.

With about 11,500 words necessary to finish off the second chapter, I'll likely be occupied with this the next two weeks so that I can close out this commission. Afterwards, I will likely be shifting over to work on a (free) story that I intend to be a tie in to the Robotic Restitution universe. It seems like a good time to write that story, since I'll be working on getting the third book ready for publishing at the same time I'm getting that story out.

I already used the tentative title of that story elsewhere, so I'll have to think up a new one. C'est la vie.

Robotic Restitution: Drone Shuffle

Progress on book two is going well. So far I've finished editing the first three chapters, and there are three more to go. Unfortunately, the next chapter is the longest, so I'll have to gird myself to get that completed next week.

In other positive news, I've made significant progress on the cover art. There are two characters I need to figure out poses for, draw, and vectorize, and then it will be done. So far, it's looking like I'm on schedule to complete this at the same time as the book editing, but we shall see.

I don't expect I'll need a week to figure out the publishing like I did for the first book, but that does mean that it will be a difficult schedule when I get close to completion! I think I'll be able to make it work without slipping my schedule, but we'll see.

As such, I'm expecting that I shall be ready to publish the week of September 15th. Look forward to it!

Week End Update: Superhero Conquest Edition

Atonement


Atonement is finally wrapped up. I do thank everyone who sent me kind comments about this story. It turned into a project far larger than I had originally anticipated, almost reaching novel length!

I can't promise I'll be writing more in this universe in the future, though I do have a vague idea that could possibly be turned into a sequel. Still, I kind of feel like I would overstay my welcome if I attempted to write it. The largest thrill of the story is the ongoing transformation of the cows, and writing a story about political intrigue wouldn't be quite as interesting for me.

I'm certain I'll be writing something about human cows being milked in the future, eventually, but probably in a different setting.

Desaturated Detente


I mentioned this story last week, and writing on it has commenced. I'm about 6000 words into it now, and I fully expect the first chapter will easily reach 10,000. Wonder Woman is going to face a rather grueling time as her mind is twisted to suit that of her new mistress.

I don't quite know where it will be released, as that will be at the discretion of the one who commissioned it.

As such, it probably won't be ready for a Wednesday posting, so I'll have to post something else. I don't have any other writing going on at the moment, but I'm sure I'll come up with something to talk about.

I expect that the first chapter should be completed in about a week and a half, since I don't have a writing day this Monday to work on it. A second chapter has already been plotted out, so I will likely will be booked for the next four weeks before I can start a new project.

Robotic Restitution


In the last week, I've edited the second chapter of this novel. There's four more chapters to go! The end is coming up quickly!

The artwork isn't going as well, unfortunately, though I have picked it up and started working on it again. I suspect the major elements will drop into place, but the character art I need to do will take the most time and will take a long time to finish. I'm just hoping that completion on the art will coincide with completion on the editing, as I don't want to delay the release of this novel longer than necessary!

Week End Update: Commissioned Edition

Atonement

I've made some small progress on the final chapter this week, putting me at around 5000 words. There's really only one more sexy scene that needs to be written, after which point I should be able to have this wrapped up and completed.

If you want to see MU2 being milked a few more times, you're going to get your wish!

There's more milking to come! Look forward to the conclusion this Wednesday!

Desaturated Detente

I have been commissioned by engpix to write a sexy story about a latex mistress, Wonder Woman, and Supergirl. It's not really my place to elaborate further, but this will be the next story I'll be working on once Atonement has been completed.

Robotic Restitution

Coming down off the joy of publishing the first book, the real grunt work begins. I've edited the first chapter of Drone Shuffle, the second book, this week. There are six chapters in this book, so I should be close to publishing in about five more weeks.

I've started working on the cover art, but there hasn't been much progress there so far. I'm going to have to get a move on if I'm going to be ready in time!

Saturday, August 3, 2019

Week End: Publishing Edition

Atonement

Despite what I had feared last week, and my general poor health, I was still able to get out the fifth chapter of this story. Unfortunately, there hasn't been much progress on the final chapter as I only had one writing day last week, so I'm only about a thousand words in. I expect that I may be two weeks away from seeing the conclusion on this story.

Plotting has already been completed, however, and we're in the home stretch. All the main plot threads have really been wrapped up, except for one: what happened to Kylie? I'll answer that question and we'll have some more fun milking times in the conclusion. Stay tuned!

Robotic Restitution

The first book of the trilogy, 'Drone Envy,' has been formatted and submitted to Amazon. How exciting!

I'll make a special post on this blog once it has been accepted with the relevant details (if I do manage to get past the Amazon censors).

I'll be looking at getting this formatted to go on Smashwords next, so do look forward to that as well. I'll make updates as I get information back on how these processes go.

Since I've spent hours figuring out formatting and how to publish ebooks this week, I haven't had a chance to edit the first chapter of book two, but I rather expected that would happen. I'll work on getting that back on track next week. I also need to get started on the cover art... yikes!

Since Atonement won't make it for this Wednesday, I'll probably post about the formatting process for publishing instead. I found it significantly challenging when starting from an Open Office document, but there are tools out there that did help!

There's plenty more work yet to go!

Saturday, July 27, 2019

A Long Week Update

Atonement

I haven't been doing so hot this week, after last week's nonsense. As such, progress this week has been minimal. Yuck.

I only have about 3000 words of the next chapter completed, and it's going to take a lot more effort to get to the finish line. I do believe there's still only about 1-2 chapters left in this story, and I need to pull myself together to drag myself over the ending. 

The problem, in my estimation, is that the flash of inspiration is long since gone, and all that remains is a dogged determination to finish. That, coupled with my recent poor health, has made it difficult to move forward.

Still, I believe I shall get there in the end, even if it takes more time than I had expected to get there.

I'm currently working on getting through the next part with Natalia, after which I believe I'll start to enter the end game on this story. By the time it's done, it will be close to a novel length story. I need to stop doing this to myself! :)

Robotic Restitution

Good news on this front, at least. I was able to get through the seventh chapter yesterday, which means the manuscript for the first story is more or less complete. During the next week I expect I will be trying to figure out how to get the final copy together and published! Wow, that will be neat!

Expect more news on that front at some point this week as I get it figured out!

Next, I really need to start work on vectorizing the second book's cover and proofing the copy. I need to work fairly quickly as the first book ends on a bit of a cliff hanger and I don't want to leave anybody waiting for too long! There's always so much work to do!

Saturday, July 20, 2019

Week End Update: Sadness Edition

This hasn't been an amazing week for me. After having a migraine Wednesday, which halted progress on Atonement, I learned of the Kyoto Animation Fire. That's left me pretty sad the rest of the week, as some of their recent work is some of my favorite animation - specifically, Violet Evergarden.

That all said, I'm starting to do better, but progress has been slow this week.

Atonement


I released chapter four this week. I don't consider that to be my most inspired chapter, but it was necessary to progress the next stage of the story.

I've started writing chapter five, which starts focusing on what happens to Natalia, but as I said earlier, progress has slowed. Chapter five definitely won't be released this week, and the week after is looking iffy too.

However, there are only two chapters left to write, max, so I can say this story should be wrapped up sometime into next month. I'll keep at it!

Robotic Restitution


The delays hit this project as well, however, I was able to catch up this morning by editing chapter six, so this is still on track. I'm planning on getting the last chapter edited this week, and then I will need to work on putting together final manuscript. I would be willing to say that book one should be published around the beginning of August.

Slug Academy...II?


I don't currently have anything ready to post for this Wednesday, but I have thought up a semi-reasonable plot for another story in the Slug Academy universe. I think I'll have a go at that and see if I can get something ready in time. No promises, but the slugs may ride again!

Saturday, July 13, 2019

Week End Update: Push Ahead Edition

Slug Academy Retrospective


Looks like 'Slug Academy' was fairly well received this week. I'm pleased that it came off so well for something I jotted out in a day. I'd like to do that again in the future, but it really depends upon finding the right idea that fits into a day's worth of writing, as well as the motivation. Neither of which always arrive simultaneously...

I can't say I'll be writing more in the Slug Academy universe, though I have briefly toyed with the idea of either showing some of Autumn's training at the school, or swapping to another Freshman and showing her treatment at the hand of her slug masters as she works to become obedient with her classmates. OBEY.

I like the premise, but no interesting plot has jumped out at me as of yet, so that idea seems dead in the water at the moment. I rarely am able to write sequels in the same universe, so I definitely won't promise anything.

Atonement

I've been trucking along on this story this week, but damn has writing been slow on it. I'm just not *feeling* it this chapter, which is making things even slower than usual. It may have been a mistake to temporarily change the point of view for the chapter to Nina, but it just made the most sense to push the plot forward. It also feels awkward writing a sex scene between an older alien keeper and a younger cow, but that also makes the most sense plot wise.

Even so, I'm up to 6946 words, and I expect this chapter can be finished out in another ~2000 words. If I gear up tomorrow I could probably get that done. I certainly need to clear the decks so I can start moving into the end game on this story.


Robotic Restitution

No progress yet on making the cover art for the second story, even though I know that's going to be a royal pain in the ass. I'm all setup to work on it, but I haven't yet buckled down on it.

Perhaps that's because I know there's two more chapters to proof before I can publish the first book, which, by the way, is still on schedule for release in about two week's time. I will, of course, make an announcement here and elsewhere once I've managed to figure all that that (oh boy, I'm really looking forward to that).

Other Stuffs


On deck is a story called 'Fallen Destiny,' a futa tale inspired by 'Fairy Fighting.' That's a story I've been meaning to write for several weeks, and might be a good candidate for a 'flash writing' experiment during non-writing hours. I'm still uncertain on that one. Probably will work it in after Atonement depending on what happens next. I always reserve the right to change my mind.

Saturday, July 6, 2019

Week End Update: Slow Progress Edition

Atonement

As expected, progress has more or less stalled on this story this week due to the holiday. I have managed to get 1700 words down, but that's paltry compared to usual progress. Definitely nothing ready for this week, unfortunately. With any luck, and a standard writing schedule, I should have something ready for next week.

I'm currently still estimating two chapters left for this story to be completed, but there's some wiggle room as I haven't quite nailed down the final scenes. Depending on length, there may either be an epilogue or another chapter.

Robotic Restitution Trilogy

With the cover of the first book more or less finalized, I only need to finish proof reading the first book, put together the final manuscript, and figure out how to publish it. Since I've finished proofing the fourth chapter last week, that leaves three more chapters to go, which should be about three more weeks. It's coming up quick!

In the mean time, I've put on paper what I want the second cover to look like, and I shall be working on the artwork soonish. That means I'm on schedule so far. Whew!

Still a lot of work to go, but the light at the end of the tunnel is starting to become visible!

Other Errata

I don't really have any short stories on deck, but if I come up with something between now and Wednesday to write on my 'off hours', I may have something to post. But that would probably mean actually vanquishing the usual ennui and doing some writing instead of woodworking. We shall see. I keep having the idea of a revolting story about insect control bouncing around the back of my head, but there's nothing definite yet. Hard to say if that will result in anything as of yet.

I do have a blog post already written, but I'm not sure if it fits for a Wednesday debut, so I may have to write something else. Either way, I will have *something*, but what that something is I don't quite know yet.

Friday, June 28, 2019

Week End Update: Cows on Hiatus Edition

Atonement


Progress on this story is going fairly well, but I doubt it will be ready in time for the upcoming Wednesday post. This is more or less as expected, as I usually only crank out about 2500 words per writing day. I technically have had enough time, since there's been four writing days, but the reality is that I haven't been able to keep my quantity up this week. And even if I had, I've already made it to 9000 words, and there's still one more scene left to write in this chapter, which will likely be at least 2000 more words.

So if I don't make it for this Wednesday (which seems unlikely), it will definitely be ready for the Wednesday after. We shall see, it all depends on how much work I can get done between now and then!

Speaking in vague terms, at least two of Natty's Pirates are going to have a lot of fun in the next chapter, leaving three more to go! The final conclusion is probably at least two more chapters away, meaning this will probably end up a 50,000 word novel!

Not bad, looking at it objectively. Hopefully somebody enjoys it.

Robotic Restitution


I edited my required chapter this week, making next week chapter 4. Four more weeks to go until the final draft of the first novel is completed. Time marches on quickly.

The last edits are a little terrifying. I've had to rename one of my main characters due to the number I had chosen for her name having 'other' connotations (420 is a fine number, but I don't want people to think of marijuana while reading my novels). Silly little pop references like that all went on the chopping block. My opinion is that smut like this is to entertain, and to do that I endeavor to not bring people out of the fantasy world. Anything that distracts the reader has to go.

And so it will. But I must be super careful while editing to ensure no trace of the old name remains. It would be very embarrassing to miss anything. Find/Replace is your friend!!

Speaking of books, I have the first book cover nearish to completion!

Yes, indeed, my poor art skills are getting a workout. I only hope it's acceptable enough to sell a few copies. Which is all I'm realistically going to sell anyway, but this has been rather a labor of love, overall, to push the boundaries of what I'm capable of. The longest and most complicated thing I've ever written. It deserves to have my personal stamp on every corner of it. Can't promise that for any future works, because it's simply so much effort!



Adele and a Hive Drone

I'm finally at the point where I'm more or less satisfied with the cover image for the first book. I need to resize things a bit, add title text and author etc etc. but otherwise I think it's pretty much done. Not terrible for a first time artist, but not all that great, either. I feel kind of meh about it, but it's about what I can accomplish at this stage.

I have an idea for what the cover for the second book should look like already, but the execution is going to be a problem (as always). Stay tuned for more information next week (if I have any, that is!)

Saturday, June 22, 2019

Week End Update: More Cows Edition

Oof, been another busy week. I'm holding up well so far, but if it gets to be too much I may have to spread out some of my releases. Hopefully not, but I can't be on my 'A' game all the time!

Atonement


Chapter two of this story has been completed, and I expect I shall be getting it edited this weekend in anticipation of posting it this Wednesday. I've begun chapter three as well, but I'm facing a bit of a roadblock in that I need to plot out the next section before I can push on full steam ahead. I have a few ideas bobbling through my head but nothing firm yet.

At any rate, that means chapter three may not be ready for the week after, but I expect the week after that I should have something to post. With the current remaining ideas, I think there's about two or three chapters left to go on this one.

Robotic Restitution


I've proofread chapter two of the first book for the second time. I'm making the expected amount of progress, with the final draft taking shape. This looks like it's still going to be on schedule to be ready in about five more weeks.

I've also been working on the cover for book one and it's coming along better than I thought it would. That's probably at about 60% now, so I think it should be finished in time for the release of the first book. Good news!

The bad news is I have to do this two more times and I'm not certain whether I'll be able to keep up with the schedule. It is what it is!

Look for all this effort to start coming to fruition in late July!

Friday, June 14, 2019

Week End Update: Cow Edition

Yes, it's that time of the week again. Okay, it's early. But it's still that time of the week. I have quite a few projects to talk about this time!

Atonement

This is the new story I've been working on recently. I'm about a chapter and a half in, ~15,000 words. I've been progressing at about ~7500 words a week, which is a pretty good clip in my opinion. I'm spit ball guessing that this story is going to finish around the 3-4 chapter mark, ball parking it at 30,000 - 40,000 words. I should be selling these as novellas! :)

The only downer is that I need to edit the first chapter to get it ready for this Wednesday's update, which I really ought to do this weekend (did I mention what a chore editing is? Blegh)

Anyway, if you're a fan of women being turned into cows, aliens, lactation, and a whole lotta breast expansion, this story is for you.

Fallen Destiny

After getting sucked into playing the Hentai game 'Fairy Fighting' again (there's some nostalgia involved, I must admit), I ended up writing a blog post and plotting out a story where the main characters get truly fucked by Cthulu beasts.

This won't really be anything more than blatant fan fiction, but for those of you who like futa girls and ass parasites, you'll probably like this one. This story is on my list to work on after I'm finished with 'Atonement,' so stay tuned for that. I also have a blog post about 'Fairy Fighting' for a mid week update. I'll post that on a week when it makes sense, given my other release schedules and my proximity to getting this story finished.

Robotic Restitution

Progress rolls along on this trilogy. I've re-read chapter one this week, fulfilling my goal of getting a chapter done a week. I'm still on schedule for releasing around 6 weeks from now.

I'm also still working on the title image for the first book, but progress is agonizingly slow there. Vector art can really be a beast to work through if you're not an expert/not motivated to get it done right away. I think some of it here is that I'm trying to turn something I've seen in my head into art on paper, and I really don't have the skills to do it. This will probably turn out okay in the end, but it's going to take a hell of a lot of effort to make it happen.

I'm sure I'll get something done, but it's pretty hard pretending to be an artist.


That's all for now, folks. Should have the new story starting to roll on Wednesday, so keep a weather eye out for it, unless something majorly derails me!

Week End Update: Finished the First Pass Edition

What's up, everyone? It's the start of a new week, and I find myself with several projects simmering simultaneously. I'm not sure if I'll have anything from my next story ready to post Wednesday, but it sure would be nice if that were to happen!

Octopodded


No feedback on the third chapter, but people on Literotica appear to be liking this one. I've changed my mind about posting this on MCStories, I think I'll send it to Simon and see whether or not it will pass muster for being posted next week. I'll probably throw up 'Extraterrestrial' at some point as well.

Drone Envy


I've outlined a new story as a bit of a post-quel to my Robotic Restitution stories. It's meant to go through what happens after the Hive invades the capitol planet of the empire, and how that affects a nuclear family of four.

I have a pretty good idea of how this story is going to go, and have about a ~2500 word start on it Monday, before I decided to change gears on Wednesday.

This probably will get back onto my schedule after my next story drops, but it could easily be some time before that occurs.

Atonement


This is the story which derailed my attempts to work on 'Drone Envy,' primarily because I got a really good idea for the conceit behind the tale and I wanted to start a story 'in media res.' This was meant to be a short story, but as is usual, not many stories I come up with WANT to be short stories.

Taking me back to my roots, this tale is about human cows... in space! *Theremin sound effect*

Yes, I can't seem to stay away from those big breasted milkers, and I'm going to be transforming a whole bunch of women into happy cows. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? There couldn't possibly be an ulterior motive behind the penal system sending women off to the Farm to become cows...

This story is already ~6000 words in. I have a quick sketch of an outline, but I suspect I'm going to get into a lot of trouble with the finish because my ideas for it keep changing. I pretty much know how everybody is going to look at the end of the story, but I'm not sure how long it'll take for me to get there.

I'm hoping to serialize this story and get it out as fast as I can write it, without too much delay. Seems likely the first chapter will debut next week at this rate, unless I can get my ass into gear today.

Robotic Restitution


Yes, the story trilogy I've been talking about all year so far (and have been obsessing about for the year before) is still on the agenda (when isn't it?)

This week is a bit special however, since I have finished the first editing pass for all three novels! Final word counts are around 75,651, 65,978, and 69,563, which are about perfect for novel length.

This week I intend to loop back around and start reading chapter one again. At a chapter a week, we're about seven weeks away from having the final copy of that story in the can, at which point (*shudder?*) I have to figure out what the hell I'm doing to try and get this published, a whole different can of worms.

Which leads me back to generating covers for these stories. I've made the (probably bad) decision to try and draw them myself. I've come up with something that I think will work for the first cover, but I'm not an amazing artist. I'm just hoping that once I turn it into a piece of vector art I won't hate it. No guarantees.

That's all for now, back to work for me!

Week End Update: An Early Update and Future Speculation

After surgery, I'm supposed to be resting and recuperating. If I get up the motivation, I may start working on my next story... I definitely don't feel right doing absolutely nothing, so here's the blog post early this weekend!




Octopodded


So far I've gotten some good comments about this work. It's one of the strangest stories I've ever written, and it came out the fastest. It's hard to capture lightning like that in a bottle, so I wouldn't expect a miracle like that again in the near future.

Though, if I magically start feeling better, who knows what I might end up accomplishing?

At any rate, the third chapter, which comes in at about 15,000 words, will be posted on my usual Wednesday schedule. The first chapter has been posted to Literotica, and the second shall be following as soon as their scheduling system decides to allow it through.

Robotic Restitution

I've waded through editing the nineteenth chapter today, putting me one chapter away from the first editing pass being completed. That will be a major milestone, but will simply herald the start of the next phase of editing, where I hope to catch any embarrassing errors before I attempt to publish the books. 

There's a lot of fun scenes in them, so if you're a fan of my work, stay tuned, this is still on schedule so far. I expect to publish the first book in about a month and a half, and then hopefully the rest shall follow on a more or less monthly basis until they're all out and released.

This has consumed so much of my time, I really do hope there turns out to be a few fans of this work out there!

Purple Balls

What is it about circuses that attract a fair number of fetish stories? Perhaps it's the ability for almost anything strange to happen, especially since the circus has been known to attract more than a few nonstandard types of people.

Anyway, I've been tossing around the idea of writing a strange circus story the past week, ever since I saw Junkrat's new circus skin in Overwatch.


Crazy clowns are pretty popular in horror stories, no?


The purple balls he fires are delightfully wacky.


Now, it wasn't the costume that is giving me the first glimmers of inspiration. No, it's the wacky purple balls he's shooting from his grenade launcher.

Those bring back a memory of art from the early 00's where someone had drawn a grotesquely transformed futa sailor moon with gigantic balls that had stars on them. S/he was impregnating another sailor scout, corrupting her and transforming her into another similar monster.


After doing some Bing searching, I was able to locate the image I was thinking about on hypnohub. I don't know the original artist, so I can't attribute this image properly. If anybody knows, let me know so I can credit it properly.


Anyhow, what if a couple goes to the circus, and the male is captured by the evil ringmaster for use in his circus? He's bred with the existing, single humanoid female beast. Somehow, this makes his balls grow. He takes on a purple skin coloration and his balls get gigantic with stars on them.

His girlfriend is turned into a clown and becomes his trainer, perhaps. Maybe he ends up impregnating and transforming another of her friends into a second, female beast so that he has more than one in his harem?

Maybe others are visiting the circus with them, they split up to experience the different attractions, and end up encountering different fates? 
  1. One of them goes through the hall of mirrors and falls prey to their reflection?
  2. Another visits the snake charmer, and through her charms, is converted into a humanoid snake she uses for her performances.
  3. One of the performers is a succubus, and has her sights set on the main character's best friend.
  4. The trapeze artist is secretly a vampire and she steals away one of their party to become her thrall.
  5. A crazed puppet master coerces one of the group to see his doll collection and she gets turned into one of them.
So many good ideas for bad ends! Probably too many for a short story. But enough for a medium sized one without getting too fatigued? Not sure, I'd have to start writing to find out.

But maybe I really ought to be starting that other Hive story in preparation for the release of my novels? We shall see.

Week End Update: The Work Continues Edition

Octopodded


I've received some feedback on this story, and I want to say 'thanks' to those who took the time to write me. It's always appreciated, since I rarely receive feedback, good or bad.

For those of you interested in finding out what comes next, I have good news. Chapter two is in the bag, edited, and will be posted this Wednesday at 7 PM. It is around ~9000 words.

I can't/won't release it sooner because sometimes I need to change or tweak something before the final copy goes up, especially while I'm editing the next chapter.

Which leads me to the next bit of news, which is that I've finished the first draft of chapter three in a marathon writing session today. Dropping in at ~14,500 words, this is likely to grow to ~15,000 after editing, a bit longer than I usually like for a chapter.

Still, I'm not going to split it, as I don't feel it's necessary.

Look for that to be posted the Wednesday after, on the 5th of June.

My life is going to be rather complicated after surgery this Wednesday, so I don't know when I'll be able or motivated to get back to writing afterwards. Therefore, I plan on getting the editing of chapter three done tomorrow, so at least this story won't linger incomplete.

I suppose that means I could post the finale sooner, but quite frankly I'm low on blog post ideas and I need something to cover the gap so I'm not under pressure to write during any necessary recuperation.

Robotic Restitution


I know nobody really cares about this trilogy of stories yet, since it's still too far away from release, but I did manage to finish editing my requisite chapter this last week. With two chapters left to go, I am rapidly nearing completion of the first editing pass.

The second proofreading pass will begin the week after. If everything goes as planned, the first book should be ready for release in about a month and a half.

I hope to sit down and try to work out the book cover for that story before I reach that point, but we'll have to see how it goes. I'm playing it by ear, since there are so many unknowns around this process for me. Please be patient!

I'll be back... hopefully soon


I have at least 4-5 story ideas on the backlog, and quite a few more sets in my notes. There's one in particular I find rather interesting, but I'm not sure if it's something I want to dive into right away.

Writing something shorter would probably make more sense, but most of my stories tend to run long no matter how much I intend for them to be short.

I'll have to drag out some ideas the next time I feel well enough to work on a story and see if any of them are worth pursuing. Perhaps I'll even post here and see if anybody has a preference for what I work on next. :)

With any luck, I'll be back in the saddle soon, but with life, one never knows. Sayonara until next time!
