Patreon informs me that we're precisely one member away from hiting one hundred subscribers. It's a pretty awesome achievement, and I'm truly grateful for the support--and the vote of confidence--and thrillled that there's at least a hundred people out there interested and invested in these stori...

“I need you,” I repeated. “I want you.” My voice trembled with excitement.

Of the individual scenes making up this chapter, this is the one I'm least pleased with. It's very much a bridging scene between her return, and everything she does with and to David.

2024-06-11 00:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt was difficult to decide what to pick for this week's sneak peek. But following the previous scene with Stacy at the bar, I thought readers might enjoy seeing what that leads to. So: imagine following that conversation that David, Julia and a man they've just met, Caleb, return to Julia's condo...

More exclusive fan art by Fraylim. This one's from the hedonistic Halloween party at Volumina International, the one that leads to an unexpected and explicit encounter with Cindy's boss, Mr Connor. Here's the relevant extract from Constant 3, Chapter 2 that leads up to the wonderful image above:<...

You may have noticed something a little different about the appearance of the Patreon front page today.

I'd already planned for David to have an encounter at the bar at Noir. Initially, I plotted for a man to hit on Cindy. David would reciprocate in a (foolish) attempt to make Julia jealous. However, as a 'thank you' for their art, I asked Fraylim if there was a scene they might like to see. Frayli...

They're there for a singular purpose: to pick up a man for Cindy and bring him back to Julia's. Tomorrow: a piece of fanart by Fraylim capturing a surprise moment at the bar....

The way Fraylim's interpreted the outfit Cindy's wearing here is fantastic, but it's the way they capture the expression on David's face that I love here. Below are extracts from the chapter that detail the clothes. The artist asked if I used any specific models for Cindy. I don't, but at around ...

I really like this one. Though not tied to a specific written scene, it's easy to imagine Cindy being sent off to bring back coffee for Mr Connor. Working late, compelled to check in on the boss. Perched at the edge of the desk. Seething inside with resentment, but also--a little excited.

You're probably familiar with Fraylim's art: they've been producing brilliant images alongside a range of TG fiction for years, now. Favourites include Family Therapy and My Uncle Fifi, both stories by Jenny North, with art by Fraylim.
Not long ago, Fraylim got in touch to say they'd been e...
