Matterotica Newsletter #40

Greeting patrons

It's been a while so I wanted to give a brief update on what's going on in the world of Matterotica.

The Kingswood Saga

The Kingswood Complication

With Christmas out of the way, we're back into the main story now and it feels like we're already speeding towards the end! Thank you all for the ongoing feedback and comments, and apologies for the delays in responding. Things have been a bit hectic, but I'm caught back up (for now).

Some of the ongoing mysteries from the start of the book are beginning to be revealed, but there's still a lot more to come, as well as a few dramatic twists, because I do love a good twist! Anyway, new chapters continue every Friday up to the conclusion in June.

The Kingswood Amelioration (Book 5)

Things have slowed to a crawl on book 5, due to a mix of real-life commitments and the unexpected work required for The Humiliation Games 2. That said, I'm still looking to be on target for getting it finished, which means it will be able to start posting extremely soon after book 4 concludes.

The Humiliation Games 2

Despite preparing myself as much as I could in advance, and telling myself I had a word count limit on the humiliations, this has once again got bigger than I anticipated! While it's eating up a lot of my time, I'm still really enjoying it and, as always, want to give my sincere thanks to those of you who are reading and voting eacxh week.

With the first humiliation of the final round due to post this weekend, that means we're only a couple of weeks from the story's conclusion!

Just so you know what you've still got to some, I will be doing the same as the first Humiliation Games and posting a single collated volume of the entire story, which will post shortly after the story ends.

The first book also included a gallery at the end with full-page pictures of the characters for those who wanted to fully appreciate the visuals. I started to do that this time and realised... it's not possible!

Don't worry though, that just means you're getting MORE not less! I started collating the pictures into a collection called 'The Men of The Humiliation Games 2'. I know, I'm great at naming things!! This collection will include all of the pictures included throughout the story, but will also include a LOT of extra content that wasn't (alternative pictures of the characters, alpha versions, unused characters etc). In total, it's currently 13 volumes, with over 800 pictures!

Now admittedly, for those of you who just like the reading and don't care about the pictures, this is nothing exciting, but for everyone else, you've got a lot of extra content to come, which will gradually be posted after the conclusion of the story.

Future works

As mentioned in a previous newsletter, my plan is currently to scale back a little and not post an additional story for a while once THG2 ends. This is just for my own wellbeing, as writing two ongoing stories whilst doing a full-time job and having a life is as exhausting as it sounds! I wanted to mention it again, so that anyone who feels they want to cancel membership before the weekly posting levels reduces can do so. I would never want someone to be paying to be here and feel they're not getting what they pay for! So you have been warned! (and also, no hard feelings for anyone who does go, there never is, I appreciate everyone who signs up for however long they're here!)

Despite that, I know how my mind works, and being free from the burden of a second weekly posting just means my mind will start to wander onto other projects. I've already got ideas in mind for other one-shots, limited-run follow-ups to older stories and also some bonus Kingswood stories. I'm not committing to anything, but I have no doubt there will still be stories getting posted, even while I'm taking this 'break'.

And that's all, folks. Thanks again for being here and I hope you continue to enjoy!

Matt
