And as promised, a little something to tide y'all over while I'm away on vacay. I'll be back home next Monday and getting to work on part 22, but for now, here's this, and enjoy! More to come.
2020-09-10 14:50:42 +0000 UTC View PostHuzzah! I got this post done pre-vacation, and have a draft ready for another I can dole out next week while I'm away. It still needs editing or I'd just share it now and let y'all pace yourselves however you like. We're getting closer to some big stuff, though I know some of you feel there's too...
2020-09-03 22:13:14 +0000 UTC View PostFirst a couple announcements!
1) Patreon now has the option to pledge support annually rather than monthly. So for those of you sure you want to stick around or just grant me the serenity to know I won't be eating out of a dumpster this time next year, there ya go. There's also a 10% discou...
2020-08-30 07:15:41 +0000 UTC View PostWhew! Man, this one took me some doing before I got it like I wanted it. After leaving you with what seems to have been everyone's favorite twist, this chapter focuses pretty heavily on the addition of Tabitha Hutchings to the ensemble. I had a good idea who she was, but it took a lot of doing to...
2020-08-21 19:50:09 +0000 UTC View PostThis story has gotten long, folks. And yet stupid google docs still insists on suggesting that every single instance of Canon be corrected to Cannon. Yeesh. Anyway, here we round out the week with some good times with the whole teen gang. Not a lot to say here, but ya know, more to come. :) Enjoy...
2020-08-16 03:14:46 +0000 UTC View PostHey, look at me practicing healthy work-life balance and not just cranking out 5000 words a day. :D But here we are, part 16. It's a bit of a montage, Monday evening to Friday morning of the second to last week of the GHS school year. Once again I gave some thought to breaking it into separate pa...
2020-08-12 10:51:41 +0000 UTC View PostHere we have part 15. This honestly could have been part 15 and 16 - feel free to let me know if you have thoughts on whether they should be released as such when I get around to sharing them with the broader public. It's split fairly evenly into two parts, one dealing with what has now bec...
2020-08-03 10:51:17 +0000 UTC View PostSo here we have the so very very long awaited sequel to The Chill Pill. I didn't even realize until it was over that I'd once again given the title internal rhyme (or near rhyme, at least). This takes place a few years after the events of The Chill Pill. Hopefully it's easy enough to imagine the ...
2020-07-29 05:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostSometimes, I amaze even myself. (I have an incredibly low capacity for self-amazement though, so take that with a grain of salt.) So, to set this up, a note on my SOP for commissions. Typically, I send it off to the individual who commissioned it, then head over here and set up a time delayed pos...
2020-07-29 03:47:05 +0000 UTC View PostHere's one of those stories that came down and I never got around to putting back up. It was originally intended as a prequel to Tolerance/The Tolerant, setting up the origins of DJ Swanson's power through the exploration of his father's invention of the eponymous pill. I drifted off into other p...
2020-07-24 06:58:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe dinner party is here! Canon joins Isa and Candy for a pleasant evening of food, drink, and... well, other things. :) (Ho, hum.) We even get some resolution to some old questions some of y'all were wondering about, too.
More to come!
2020-07-23 20:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostWHEW. I knew this was going to be a big one, but damn, just shy of 14k words. Part of me wanted to cut it in half, but the first part isn't enough for a Part, and the rest is basically one great big scene. I would have had it out yesterday, but I was up all night Saturday with a very very anxious...
2020-07-20 17:38:41 +0000 UTC View PostBack at it, folks! In this installment, we get a little time with some of our as yet lesser-revealed presences, school resource officer (SRO) Louisa Barbour, and would-be blackmailer Megan. I don't know that either will become characters with as major roles as Canon, Abbie or Taylor (or Cassie, f...
2020-07-16 18:45:26 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy! If you panicked that I'd finally written myself into an early grave with Teaching Her A Lesson, don't! I am alive and whatever passes for well in 2020. I've been catching up on all the work I put off for my contribution to an idea Limerick proposed a couple months back on the MC Forum, nam...
2020-07-10 21:03:17 +0000 UTC View PostDouble digits, baby. Here we are with installment 10 of THAL. It's split pretty evenly between two scenes, one giving us a little introduction to Cassie Brown, and other revisiting matters between Mr. Canon and Abbie. They're both very dialogue-centric, in their own ways. I am a big fan of dialog...
2020-07-03 23:58:48 +0000 UTC View PostFirst things first, note that there are 2 stories attached below, so don't just download one file and stop there or part 10 will probably confuse you.
Whew. So I wrote part 8 on Sunday, and I was like "Hmm, I want more. I need more out of this. Boo." So I dove right into part 9. A day...
2020-07-01 21:48:43 +0000 UTC View PostJust kidding, it's Teaching Her A Lesson part 7. They pushed the deadline back for the charity anthology, which I took as a plain invitation to procrastinate. In this chapter, we unmask our blackmailer from part 4. I absolutely loved the ideas you guys had for their identity, but alas, tempting t...
2020-06-27 16:12:02 +0000 UTC View PostSo yeah, here's more. For all the folks worried I'm going to write myself to death, don't. Trust me, if you'd had to teach Taylor (or "Taylor," as it were), you'd still have a chip on your shoulder about it most of a decade later, too. I did manage to miss having "Abbie" in class, but only becaus...
2020-06-24 16:37:17 +0000 UTC View PostAway we go! This chapter opens with the arrival of Abbie and Taylor at Candy and Isa's place. It's a little shorter than some of the other chapters, but I thought it hit a good point for a break, and I know some of you like it more digestible anyways. I've already started on part 6, and I will no...
2020-06-23 07:38:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe good times keep on a'rolling. First off, recommend you read first, return for my rambling commentary later. That said, I hope you're all still having fun with this meandering monster of a tail. I will confess, I have done a lot less foreplanning on this thing. It's not stream of consciousness...
2020-06-21 06:41:04 +0000 UTC View PostI realized pretty on this story might have a little length behind it before I got done, and given the presumptive age of one of the characters, I knew I wasn't going to be able to sell it, so I figured what the hey, the EMCSA is a lot more accepting of line-fudging. Then I saw their next update w...
2020-06-18 08:40:43 +0000 UTC View PostOK, so let me say up front, I definitely cannot sustain this production schedule, but sometimes, I get into something enough that sleep and other so-called essentials simply can't compete. Here we have part 2 of Saturday's new post, Teaching Her A Lesson, picking up where we left off. Without fur...
2020-06-15 15:43:32 +0000 UTC View PostSo you know how I said I had all those other things to work on? Yeah, well, men plan, and god laughs. I had a chance encounter the other day (and of all the times you'd think odds of chance encounters were minimized!), and I wound up getting obsessed with this idea to the point that I just stayed...
2020-06-13 16:22:49 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody. Chiming in here with a fresh commission for you, The Limits of the Power. A tiny forewarning for those of you who don't spreche the Deutsch that you may want to have a G...
2020-06-02 07:05:51 +0000 UTC View PostI'm back, folks! My new mouse fits my giant hands like a dream, and a week's rest seemed to really do the trick. I finished up Living the Dream Part 3 last night, and here it is for you folks in time for the weekend.
Because it has been forever since the last installment, I'll do a li...
2020-05-15 16:54:05 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy, everybody. Apologies up front for a post with nothing happy attached. I just wanted to let y'all know I've been struggling with some pretty uncool carpal tunnel syndrome over here which has been slamming the brakes on my writing pretty hard. (Of course, since I can't go anywhere near a hos...
2020-05-08 15:28:30 +0000 UTC View PostGood news for any of you who prefer to use your ereader - the $20 patron post has been updated to include epub files. It contains every piece I've ever sold (i.e. not simply posted here on patreon or elsewhere on free ...
2020-04-24 08:36:24 +0000 UTC View PostAnd I am caught up on monthly commissions! (Gold star for me!) This one was a fairly open-ended assignment, more of a prompt than a script. The task was to write about a boyfriend who winds up with a mind-controlled girlfriend even though he couldn't be there to do it firsthand. I wasn't honestly...
2020-04-23 10:12:42 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy! Here we are with the slightly less delayed March commission winner, At Stemmler Farm. A young woman is forced to spend her summer on her uncle's secluded farm while her parents are away, and... shenanigans ensue.
Hope you're all doing well and staying safe. More to come!
2020-04-15 19:16:28 +0000 UTC View PostHere we have the much-belated February commission. The basic premise involves a young man who gets a virtual reality video game and gets more than he bargained for. Since I was working so much on Gamemaster's Screen at the time, which those of you who've picked up a copy know is full of VR shenan...
