Matterotica Newsletter #36

Greetings all. I know it's not been that long since the last newsletter, but I was about to post some info about The Humiliation Games 2 and figured I may as well intergrate it into a full newsletter update, so here goes...

The Humiliation Games 2

For once I'm not starting with Kingswood! That should probably tell you how excited I am to get started on this story! As you may know, Daring Kai has now finished, which means it's finally time to start a new story and the Humiliation Games are back! Bigger, better, more humiliations, more bad AI nudity!

The current plan for posting will be as below. Please keep in mind though that posting is always subject to change, but this is especially true with an interactive story as I have only a relatively short time to produce each part and if life gets in the way... you'll have to be patient. That said, I think I've got things sufficiently in place to stick to the following schedule:

Tuesday 3 September - The Humiliation Games 2 Prologue will be posted, which sets up the overall story and introduces most of the ongoing characters.

Tuesday 10 September - The Humiliation Games Part 1 will post 5pm UK time. This will be a short chapter which will introduce the first 'volunteer' and present the options for his humiliation. Voting will open immediately and remain open until either Friday night or Saturday morning - ideally, make sure you vote before Friday to ensure your vote can be counted!

Sunday 15 September - The Humiliation Games Part 2 will post 5pm UK time. This will be the first full humiliation chapter, based on the voting outcome from Part 1.

From there, new parts will continue to post on Tuesdays (short chaoter with voting options) and Sundays (full story chapter). It should be able to continue like this - with a few minor variations at certain points for story purposes - until the end of the story which is currently expected to be in February 2025.

Although the Tuesday (voting options) chapters will be short, I've decided to spice them up a little bit this time, so hopefully they are just as enjoyable as the main story!

Daring Kai

It's finally over! It started off as just a short one-shot, quickly grew into something bigger, expanded to a planned 70 parts(!?!) and eventually settled back down to finish at part 50! Kai and his friends have been through a lot in their time together and your feedback throughout the story has been wonderful. If you've not finished the story yet... go do it now! As always, any other constructive feedback on it is very welcome.

And to answer a question that seems to follow at the end of every story - there are currently no plans for a sequel/to use the characters elsewhere, but it is always a possibility in the future.

The Kingswood Saga

The Kingswood Complication

We're really speeding through this story now! Obviously the main big drama for the year has become apparent, but that's not to say there aren't still big surprises ahead! New chapters will continue posting every Friday up until Friday 4 October.

What? But that's only five weeks away, surely the book isn't finished already? Don't worry, it's not! As always, book four comes with its own bonus story. Technically it's still a continuation of The Kingswood Complication as it involves almost the full cast, but it's being treated as a bonus story simply because it covers a short period that deserves its own focus. It's called A Kingswood Family Christmas - safe to say I don't need to tell you when it's set! It will run for 7 chapters from 11 October to 22 November (inclusive).

Regular chapters of The Kingswood Complication will resume posting the following week on 29 November and then continue through to the conclusion next year.

The Kingswood Amelioration

I love this book. I'm hoping that comes across to you when you read it, but I'm loving writing it so much. It feels like the characters are really growing and developing, while dealing with all of the issues from their time at the school so far. I want to say so much more, but I also want to avoid spoilers!

I'm not sure yet when/where the book five bonus story will be set, but I'm also not sure about the number of chapters either. Book 4 ended up with the most chapters so far, but I'm up to chapter 10 of book five and only six weeks into the school year. This could be a long one... but who cares, I'm having fun :)

Kingswood Questionnaire

I recently posted a questionnaire that I got the main characters to answer while writing book 4. So far I've only posted the questions, but I will shortly be posting the answers each of the boys provided. I hope it's enlightening!

And that's all for now. Keep on reading and keep, on enjoying.
