Let's get this out of the way immediately: this is a Mature work -- to wit, a sex comedy. As such, I'll understand if some people are uncomfortable with it. I put up a blog post asking if I should even write this one at all and the majority of respondents indicated approval, but... if anyone here doesn't want to read it because of the material and rating, I'm not going to be offended.
For whatever it's worth, it's also OC-focused: I wasn't going to do this with any of the usual cast (although there is a little bit at the very end). And it is very much not a 'verse story -- although it's possible that I might use the new characters and their assigned jobs as background in such stories. But it's very definitely around the 7200 word level. And as my first Mature story... we'll just have to see how the site reacts. Who knows? This could get me discovered by a whole new group.
...it would probably be a positive...
The next thing to be worked on will likely be a new Triptych chapter. Let's just hope the contractors working on the apartment below mine keep the background noise down. Some stories require more concentration than others, and earplugs only do so much.
Or I could just overturn my life and write between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
...
...I'm thinking it over.
