Hey friends! Hope everyone is having a great month as we start to roll into the holiday season. I wanted to give you all a glimpse into what to expect this month and kick off a quick poll for a story idea for the future. The focus for the month of November is going to be Newlyweds. I'm committed to getting the last 2 chapters of the story out this month but that may be at the cost of everything else. Insiders and Supporters should expect to see both of these chapters drop this month.
If you're part of the fan tier, don't worry. I haven't forgotten about you. I want to release the remaining chapters of Seduced by Salvation to fans, along with another chapter of Newlyweds. However, I'm a little concerned about the AI that is used on this site flagging stuff incorrectly (members who were with me while Seduced was being written will know what I mean). In an effort to avoid that, I will likely post the remaining chapters altogether as a pdf. Hopefully, that format is acceptable.
Below is a list of all the stories that I'm "actively" working on and updates on those. If there's something not on this list that you're interested in, please leave a comment. If there's enough support behind something that has been shelved, I can always unshelf it.
Newlyweds: I plan to release chapter 23 to Insiders this week. I'm out of town on business, but as soon as I'm back later this week, I will start on Chapter 24... the last chapter of the series. That will likely drop the last week of the month (plus or minus a couple of days based on how quickly I can write it.) This won't be the end of the series just yet, though. I still have an epilogue planned for it, along with a sort of behind-the-scenes/Q&A about the series in general.
Executive Privilege: I'm taking the month off on this one to complete Newlyweds.
Neverland: There is still an outside chance I get this one wrapped up this month, but it will likely slip into next. This should be the last installment of the story.
Newly Voted on Story about Ugly Neighbor: No, that isn't the title for the series. I have a rough outline done for this (plus a surprise to share about it). This is another one I'd like to get out this month, but may slip into December depending on how long Newlyweds takes and how much free time I get on this work trip.
As some of you know, I've loved the idea of a choose-your-own-adventure style story. Rabblelaid has something like this on his Patreon (The Bet) and it seems to be a huge success.
As some of you know, I’ve always loved the idea of doing a choose-your-own-adventure style story. Rabblelaid has something similar on his Patreon (The Bet), and it’s been a huge success.
The concept I’m exploring would feature shorter chapters — around 3,000 to 6,000 words each. From a scheduling standpoint, this project would always come after the two long-running stories I post each month, so it wouldn’t replace any existing content.
Insiders would get to vote on the choices the character makes at the end of each chapter, directly shaping the story’s direction. Supporters would still get early access to read the story (after roughly 10,000 words), just on a slight delay and without the voting rights.
This would be an extra interactive experience for everyone. Something fun and a little different that lets you influence where the story goes next.
The basic premise for the story is:
Disgraced sex therapist Dr. Nathan Coleman relocates to Harmony Falls after a scandal with former patient Emily Hart. He befriends his neighbor Ethan, who asks Nathan to treat his wife and help her become more daring in the bedroom. Nathan has three choices at his disposal as he prepares for their first session. He can take the lawful good route and help Mei through ethical practices. He can take the chaotic good route and use some controversial hypnosis techniques to help push Mei to greater heights, or he can take the chaotic evil choice and use hypnosis to shape Mei into the image he wants.
And now a poll :)
Does this story and style sound like something you would be interested in?
