Congrats Terra on 2 years

Hey everyone, a whole bunch of shit’s been hitting me and all of that. Don’t really have a lot of time to hit everything in detail but I’ll let you know what’s up.

Firstly for the second anniversary of the day I started Terra, I posted a companion reader for it, going into detail about some of the characters, and some of the major plot points. Few enjoyed it but I, as always, appreciate those who did.

Beyond that I’m back on the horse writing the next chapter of Terra. Now that I’ve sprung past the wall that was holding me back, I think that I’ve come up with exactly what I need to really get the chapter going. There are a lot of loose threads that I still have to go in and take care of, tying them up into a tapestry of a story… that or fail spectacularly. But hey, either way it should be spectacular.

Yeah, other than that, just dealing with life and what it throws at me.

Oh, one more thing, a head’s up really. Right after thanksgiving my job gets incredibly busy. Those who read last year at the same time know what I mean. It depends on how much I work, and what else I’m doing for recreation, but there’s a chance that my writing will decrease significantly, especially as I need the money. But c’est la vie. 

PS Sorry it took me forever to answer your question anonymous, but yes I will write a sequel to that, when the inspiration hits. Just so you know the best way to contact me is via IM and not blog comment. Thanks as always for reading.

I’ll get back to you guys soon. Take it easy.


Peace

Devil in the Details is Done

Well hey everyone, here’s the newest news on what’s going on.

Firstly I apologize for taking so long to get to you, Sunday was my birthday and I was busy with the family and everything. I haven’t had a lot of time to sit down and really work on things.

Now the biggest news as of the moment is that I’ve posted the last chapter of the Devil in the Details, Copulation. It’s really more of the obligatory sex scene, but it does serve to show their love and compassion and hell, a sex scene never hurt. 

The next thing I’m up to, while not working on the next chapter of Terra directly, is a sort of companion chapter for the story. I just wanted to do something special for the second anniversary of the story, and realized that this is going to be a long chapter, one I’m not going to be too likely to post anytime soon. So I’m going to go into a little bit of detail about the various characters in the story, some of the technology, looking back at some of the points in the story, and a background look at how a chapter gets written and the prewriting and thought that goes into it. Maybe it’ll be something interesting, or at least worth reading.

Anyway, I’m just taking the time off to recover, hopefully I’ll have something worth reading soon. Hope you enjoy the story and I’ll do my best to post soon.

Peace

Since we've no place to go...

Hey everyone. It’s snowing. Huh, well, that’s neat. I hope that the winter isn’t too long then. But it probably will be, the summer was especially mild.

Anyway, I’ve finished the rough draft of my story and I’m working on the kinks. A lot of it is in language, I’ve tried to strike a balance between old timey ‘Thee thou thine tis etc’ language, and more contemporary language. Though the most important thing is telling the story and making it both interesting, and good. I think that the beginning is well done, but later on in the story it needs more work. But I’m about 25% done editing already, which is a good pace.

Also, my tooth is killing me. I’m seeing a dentist about that, but I’m hoping that it doesn’t hurt me too much until that’s taken care of. Lord knows it can’t be as bad as the wisdom tooth I had yanked out.

Well, hopefully there’ll be more stuff, and things in the future. Have a good one folks, I’ll see you around when I do.

Peace,

God does anyone read this…?

Hey folks, what’s going on? There’s not a whole lot going on with me lately, but I wanted to let everyone know what was going on with me.

Firstly, I went and did the whole ultrasound thing on Friday. I was going to write an update, but there wasn’t really anything to update. I did it, it happened, and I’m waiting for the results. I’m hoping to hear back sometime this week, but first they have to send it to my doctor, and then he’s got to look at it and inspect it. I’m guessing that they do all of this by some type of postal service, god I’d hate to imagine them doing it either via UPS or email.

When I know I should let you know. If you care, honestly, I don’t know how many people really give a fuck. I mean I don’t want to BAWWW here so I won’t. I’m not looking for sympathy from complete and total strangers. I’m not an attention whore, I don’t want people to worry about me or anything. If something happens I’ll let you know, otherwise I’ll just try to struggle on through the daily shit that we all deal with. If I could get over these allergies and breathe easier that’d help. Sorry if that sounds rude but I don’t really know how else to phrase it.

Anyway, beyond that the FP story challenge is chugging along, I guess. Haven’t had a lot of people go and write stories, but I’m hoping that they take their time and come up with something good. I’m working on my own thing, word count wise, its almost 7000 words, which I figure will be just over 1/3 of the story. Once I finish the sex scene I plan an action scene, followed by the climax, another action scene, and finally one last sex scene as some falling action. I know I’m being genericly vague but I don’t want to ruin any of it. I’m still probably a month from posting it anyway, I plan on posting the story on my birthday, one chapter a day or so. Or I might wait to finish it on Halloween, or maybe the day before Halloween. I haven’t decided yet.

Watched the new Fox shows tonight. Simpsons was slightly better than it has been lately. Cleveland Show wasn’t that good but I wasn’t really expecting that much from it. Family Guy is good, better than I expected over the last season. The Robot Chicken world had to be my favorite. The American Dad was better, they seem to have found a way to make Steve less annoying, or perhaps I have just gotten used to it.

So I beat Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2…in under 10 hours. Dang, what a short game. Seriously, it was good, but nothing special. Not worth the money for sure, maybe when it comes down to like 20 bucks, but it was ok. Still not sure what I’m going to move onto next, I’ve been testing the waters with Atelier Iris 2, it’s better than the first but I already played the third, which was much better. I dunno, I guess I’ll come up with something.

God I hate allergies worse than anything, having difficulty breathing is the worst, it sucks shit. But forget it. anyway, that’s it for now. God does anyone read this…?

Whats new pussycat?

Well hey everyone, it’s Sunday night and time for an update.

Firstly I want to correct myself. Shortly after telling you all that it might be my kidney, I received the results of my blood/urine tests. Apparently it’s now my liver, or at least that’s what we’re thinking now. So I get to have an ultrasound on it. Not exactly what I wanted but maybe sometime I’ll find out what’s wrong with me. It’s on Friday, but chances are I won’t know for sure until the weekend after that.

Moving on…I decided to go forward with my idea for a Futanari Palace Halloween Story Challenge. I don’t want to call it a contest, because I don’t want to make it competitive. I’m actually surprised at the amount of interest that has been shown, far more than I had initially expected. I hope that as many people that are interested actually write and finish a story.

I’m working on an idea for a story, but I think I’ve got the base of it cemented. I don’t want to spoil it but I might wind up pushing the 20,000 word limit. Damn it, who made up that stupid rule?

Also I’ve been working on Terra, although I’m afraid it might be on hiatus while I write the Halloween story, then I’ll pick it back up. I’m only like maybe 15% done the next chapter anyway.

The reason for that is, of course, Mana Khemia 2, which I finally beat this week. It was a good game, a fun one, though very repetitive. But I’ve moved on from a repetitive 70 hour jRPG to a repetitive 20ish hour beat em up, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. It’s basically the same as the other games based on that engine, X-Men Legends1-2, Fantastic Four, and its predecessor. The storyline is more interesting, because it’s based on the whole Civil War storyline in the Marvel universe, although it sorta sucks because instead of actually splitting up the camp into two different groups, you can basically play with just about everyone except for a few, like Iron Man on the pro-registration side, and Captain America on the anti-registration side. Someone like Wolverine, who was very anti being on Stark’s side, or Spiderman, who actually revealed his identity being on Captain America’s side, is kinda silly. But whatever, it is a video game based off a comic book, so it’s all good. Thankfully the repetitive nature of the game won’t have me as sucked into it as I was with Mana Khemia 2.

I’ll let you all know what’s up with me when I know. Frankly not knowing sucks the most, but there’s nothing I can do. If any of you care, I’m still alive, and I’m not dying, at least I hope. I’m just not 100%. Dunno if I’ll ever be.

Anyway, have a good one folks.

Trying at least

Hey folks, what’s going on? Thought I’d try to get back to at least a normal weekly schedule for updating.

Right now the news is no news basically. Due to family obligations I haven’t done anything writing-wise this weekend. Nothing major and nothing to worry about, but it just ate up my time. Add that to the fact that I have a doctor’s visit on Tuesday and I haven’t been too inspired to write really. I don’t know what’s up, my side just feels…strange. Not pain but, well, I don’t know, if I did then I guess I probably wouldn’t have to go see the doctor. Whenever I have anything on the side of my body with my liver I always get a little concerned.

I’m working on Terra next, and did get a little bit of work done last week, a scene or so. I’ve tried writing things a little differently, always going to try to change things up, make it interesting, use different styles and so on. right now I’ve got like, a cast of almost thirty major and minor and tertiary characters to keep in mind, and keeping that fresh in the reader’s mind is difficult without constantly reintroducing everyone. I just try to pepper things in. A mistake I made, and I’m sure that others have as well, is that when you write you often times assume that once you’ve said something, it’s etched in stone. For an example (just a random one, not actually from anything that’s happened) Terra’s a redhead on page 50, so I won’t need to bring that up ever again.

Besides that there’s very little going on. I’m still playing that RPG Mana Khemia 2, playing through many of the same assignments for a second time is rather dull, but as my characters are mostly invincible thanks to the armor that I had left over from Ulrika’s quest, it’s hardly challenging or interesting. The character side stories are really what’s interesting, though I have to say that Roze’s story unfolds much slower than Ulrika’s did. I’m about halfway through the story and I’ve barely started to go on his story. Considering his conversations on Ulrika’s quest, it sounded like more had unfolded already. I guess I’m just getting antsy, I kind of know what’s happening, but not entirely yet.

Anyway folks, right now I don’t have a lot to talk about. I’ll let you know if my liver is dying or something. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised with my luck. Have a good one people.

PS people if you want to help me earn a buck, sign up for this thing. You don’t have to actually use it. It’s one of those fill out surveys for money programs. For signing up you can earn me a buck. Like I said you don’t have to do it, but if you do then you get some money, and I get some money too. And hey, literally will take you under five minutes and get me a buck, and they start you off with 2.50 of your own money that you can use on whatever you want. I don’t ask for paypal donations or commissions, so if you enjoyed my stories give it a shot. Couldn’t hurt. Thanks either way.

Back from vacation

Hey everyone, what’s going on?

First thing I should do is probably apologize for not posting last weekend, when I got back from my vacation. I didn’t have a whole bunch of stuff to say really, but still, I wanted to do this. I didn’t want people to think I was just MIA or anything.

The news is actually news right now. I’ve finished the draft of Terra that I had been working on for a while, and sent it off to Theromen. This one is kind of an odd chapter, it’s sort of a bridge for many different things going on. It’s going to have more meaning as things unfold, showing a few different aspects of characters and where the plot and interpersonal relationships are going to go.

The other “big” news is that I’ve picked up Club Vanilla again. Honestly I didn’t know that I had gone almost half a year without writing anything in it. I have a bad tendency where I don’t really finish stories. I start them, get going fine, and then when I get towards the end, I don’t write an ending. I think to be honest I just don’t like watching characters end. I don’t like seeing their stories go away, seeing them be over with and having them gone. But writing a story, finishing one, it’s better than leaving the characters in literary limbo.

!SPOILERS BELOW FOR CLUB VANILLA READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I look at the story of Club Vanilla as having roughly 3 more chapters to close Julie’s story out. after that, I don’t know for sure. I can’t say that I can come up with another story. CV is at it’s core a story about a woman struggling with her feelings of sexual inadequacy, and trying to find a love. She’s become sure of herself sexually, now she has to find that someone. And that’s what the last 3 chapters are about.

!SPOILERS AHEAD FOR CLUB VANILLA READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Beyond that I’ve been planning on getting the last of Chrysanthemum done, hopefully that’s just another 2 chapters there, and I’ll have my two most popular stories finished, and maybe I can move onto new and different things. I’ve still got a lot of stories beyond those two I’ve never finished, probably won’t ever, but it’s fun at least to finish these couple, and hopefully Terra.

Anyway that’s all I’ve got for now. Hopefully I’ll have some new stuff for you all soon.

New story/vacation

Hello folks. I’m sorry I haven’t been too active lately.

First things first, there’s a new story I wrote. It’s called Casey at the Bat, and it’s another one of those novellas set in the ‘What You Need’ series, with Joan’s baby and Jamie and Phillip, Pwomises. This one is focused on the titular character Casey and her attempts to play baseball. Granted it too is non erotic, but still, you may find it interesting. It’s at FP, I haven’t gotten a chance to update my website with it yet.

Other than that the big thing is that I’m going on vacation for a week. So I won’t be around much, if anyone needs me you can email me but other than that, just hold off for a bit. I’ll be back.

Sorry it’s short but I have to finish packing. Hope everyone has a nice and peaceful 4th.

Peace,

How I Solved My Nightmares

Hey folks, I haven’t updated this place in a bit, not really.

First thing I want to do is clarify what I meant with the poll. I was asking if people were in any way interested or cared about the blog itself. I realize that I don’t have a lot to say here, it’s one of those things where it’s difficult to really come here and have much of anything to say. I kind of doubt that anyone really has that much interest in what I have to say, and most days I’d rather write 1000 words in a story, rather than writing it in a blog post, when I don’t have a lot to say.

Anyway, if you were wondering what’s been up with me. last Tuesday I started having a small toothache. As the day progressed, the tooth got worse and worse and worse until the point where I was nearly in tears. I saw a dentist and had emergency surgery to remove the root of one tooth which had come out on it’s own, and to extract a wisdom tooth. That was more pain, and more unpleasantness. 

For much of last week I hadn’t written a lot. I was on Tylenol 3 with codene, prescribed by my dentist, which was good for the pain, but bad for my liver. My liver has been in a bad situation, which of course isn’t good. 

I’m not personally in a good spot, to be honest. I’m bumming for money, I don’t have much good going on right now, and even my health is failing. I’m stuck in a shitty go nowhere job, working at UPS. Due to the situation, I can’t really go to school to learn anything, and with the economy there is no way I’m going to find a better job which pays more or even equal money, with the benefits that I get. Now would be the best time to go to school, but it’s just not going to happen. My teeth are terrible, but with only a part time job, I can’t really afford to get them fixed up. My liver more or less has to fix itself on it’s own. And my mp3 player, one of the few things that was going well, is messed up. Apparently, the joint circuit or something has to be resoldered, which I could try myself but I’m sure I’d just fuck up, so I’ll have to pay someone probably more money than it’s worth to do it for me. The only thing that’s been working decent is my diet, but I’ve messed that up in the last week. 

Anyway, that’s what’s been happening with me lately. 

I’ve written a new story. It’s a strange one and I don’t think it’s especially good, but I’ll let you be the judge. It’s at Futanari Palace, F3, and World of Futanari right now, and at my website soon. How I Solved My Nightmares is a different kind of story than I usually write, but it came to me and wouldn’t stop being written.

The other thing I’ve been working on is a novella, well probably closer to novel length non-erotic futanari story set in the ‘What You Need’ future Terraverse involving a high school futanari baseball team. 


That’s about all I’ve got. I want to thank the people who read. Thanks to anonymous and netviper for kind words. Here’s a helpful hint for the future. Keep on replying and I’ll keep on posting those stories.

The news is no news

Hey folks, how’s it going? I don’t really have too much to say today. Because I had some other things going on this Saturday, I wasn’t able to write any Saffron this week. It’s okay though, there’s a bit going on right now and I’m not going to mess around until I’ve got it cemented in my head what to do next. There’s a good amount of sex coming up, but I’m not sure how I want to go about doing it. I’ll figure it out I suppose. I basically want to have a scene with Saffron and Lin Mai, and a threesome, but I’m not sure if I want to have it be one scene or not. Leaning towards two scenes, with Lin Mai helping show Saffron some new tricks.

Other than that, I’ve basically finished another chapter of Chrysanthemum now. It’s done really, but I’m going to hold off on it for a little bit and just give that a try. I’ll post it eventually, of course. Thinking about jumping into another chapter of Terra next. Just a week from tomorrow and its baseball, with hockey and basketball playoffs around the corner. Might wind up writing that story about Jamie and Rose’s sister.

Thank goodness that a couple of people continue to post at FP, WoF and F3 are both dead lately for posts. Sometimes it’s kind of like, why bother posting if you won’t get ANY response, you know? It’s like, I get what I get just for writing, the only reason to post is to get some kind of feedback. Who am I kidding, it’s to get some kind of acknowledgement for what I’ve done. Ah I’m just a broken record now, I’ll just shut up.

I’ve gotten into Okami lately, that’s a pretty fun game. I’ve spent about 20 hours in the last week or so playing it. I’ve got a stack of games starting to pile up now, but a lot of them are sports games. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t like playing a lot of sports games by myself. Then again I’m a big shit talker, and why would I talk shit to the computer?

Anyway, I’m rambling so I’ll just say peace. Another week, another update done.

Peace
