Founders and Staff?

Several people have asked about what happens if a Camp Founder is ready to reduce their pledge to a normal level but the Staff Member level is sold out.

Short answer: I'll add a staff slot to accommodate the returning founder.

Longer answer: If you pledge as a founder for a month, your name goes in the hono...

Oh, Tessa!

Tessa only has a small part in the story (so far, at least), but a huge part in our imagination.

And why not? Look at her!

Oh, wait... one picture isn't enough. So here's a whole gallery for you to enjoy: Pammie Lee at MetArt. 2017-08-14 16:19:19 +0000 UTC View Post

Can I use a nickname? Can I make my pledges private?

[Sept 1 Edit: I'm just bumping this to the top and sending it to all the new people. If you've been with me a while, you probably remember when I posted it the first time. - Nick]

Do you want to use a nickname when you post comments? Maybe use your first name and last initial?

New Reward Level: Camp Founder

I added a new Reward level yesterday: Camp Founder.

I want to give people a way to "pay" for all the Summer Camp books and stories from the pre-Patreon days. That's 5 full books—Books 1-4 plus Nereids—for the price of $8 each.

I see the Camp Founder level as a one-time thing: ...

Lazy Days of Summer

Ah, the lazy days of summer... camp. I can almost smell the cocoa butter and sexual tension.

I love how the artist (Tzratzk) portrayed Kendall. She's always been a bit of a tragic character, and she looks wistful here. Beautiful, but maybe sad at the same time.

Gina is Gina... fun-loving and beautiful.

Collectors, be sure to check out...

Wren, Make Your Move

Lorelei Wren... a lovely name for a lovely woman.

She's also a wonderfully complex character. I mean, what's not to love?

Those eyes. Those lips. Those... well, you get the picture. 😇

Need more? So do I. Check out Eufrat ...

New SC-B1 Cover

I've been working on new covers for the eBook versions (ePub, Mobi, and PDF).

Book 1 will be available soon for all VIP Pass holders.

Once I'm happy with the design and layout, I'll roll out the other books on a regular schedule.

Stay tuned, campers!

From the Archives

What was Summer Camp like in the beginning? Well, if you read my Author's Afterword in Book 1, you know that I never really planned to write almost 2 million words and 5 books.

The story really started out as a "what if" thing, based on bits and pieces of my real life. But then I decided that maybe I had a bigger story to tell after all....

Volleyball!

Nudist volleyball is really one of the greatest sports ever invented. I mean, c'mon!

Even better when Gina and Kendall play.

Bump, set, spike!

P.S. - These illustrations are part of your VIP Pass. They're one of the few things that cost me out of pocket, to the tune of $100 each. I think they're totally worth it (and...

Oh, Erin (Eats, Shoots and Leaves)

This pic makes me think of the panda joke. You know, the one that ends with, "Eats, shoots and leaves."

Just sayin'.

Paul & Wren posing for Life Drawing

I love Paul & Wren's relationship. I don't know who has more fun teasing the other.

Any guesses what she's thinking?

Pretty sure I know what he's thinking. 😇

A Little Christy to Brighten Your Day

Last night in the VIP Chat we were talking about pics. Several people mentioned Christy, so I took a few minutes to find a pic of her.

She's one of my favorite characters, for lots of reasons.

How could she not be? I mean, look at ...

Sara, Back in the Picture

You remember Sara, right? Sara Gilman?

She's always been one of my favorite characters, and she's back in the picture in B5-Ch4.

Back in a good way? A bad way? Too soon to tell?

You'll have to read to find out, but you knew I was going to say that.

Leah in the Limelight

Everyone ready for Leah's birthday party in the next installment?

You'll have to settle for pics till then.

But oh, what pics! Check out Gwen A from MetArt.

P.S. - The post title is a hint. What's it mean? Post your bes...

Birthday Girl, Leah

I thought we needed some pics in honor of Leah's birthday (in B5-Ch1).

Check out Gwen at FEMJOY.

(See why Leah's one of my favorite characters to write? Okay, maybe it has to do with her personality more than anythin...

Must. Write. Tessa

Yeah, I need to write a side story about Tessa.

This is from today's MetArt affiliate email, so I thought I'd share.

See more Pammie Lee on MetArt.

Enjoy.

Sunny Sydney

You remember Sydney, right?

You're excused if you don't. She's one of Stacy and Jason's friends, and is part of their regular swinging group.

She has a brief appearance in B5-Ch2, so I thought I'd post pics to remind you why you love her.

Without further ado, here's the link:

Where'd all these people come from?

Holy wow, campers!

I knew I still had a decent following, but wow! Just... wow!

(That's a lot of exclamation points, I know. Sorry. But wow! Ahem. I'm done now.)

Thanks for making Summer Camp fun again.

I wouldn't be doing this without you all.

Thanks again and thanks for reading.

P.S. - When th...

You know what would be really hot?

I get that question a lot. It's always rhetorical, since the person follows it with suggestions for couplings or scenes or even whole stories in the Summer Camp universe.

I always thank them for the suggestions, because it's definitely a form of praise.

But...

I'll probably never write your Hot Story.

Why?

Lots of...

New Model: Stacy

Stacy makes a brief appearing in B5-Ch2, so I took the opportunity to find a new model.

(The old model is from a defunct site. So not only is she not working anymore, the photographer isn't either. So, lose-lose.)

In any event, say hello to the new model for Stacy.

New Character: Meet Sabrina

Meet Sabrina, Christy's brother Danny's girlfriend.

You'll hear about her for the first time in B5-Ch4, but you'll meet her for real in Ch7.

Till then you'll just have to dream about her.

Pandora B at MetArt

Sweet dreams!

Thoroughly Modern Mindy

So... where am I going with Mindy?

I have plans for After Camp stories set in the modern day, probably the 2002 Prologues time frame for Paul and the wife's generation. (More on other time frames later.)

Mindy will still be around in 2002, I think, as part of the group of swingers that Paul and the wife party with.

So that's wh...

But I Don't Wanna Ride the Short Post

The people have spoken! And you overwhelmingly prefer longer chapter installments. (That poll is still open at the time of this writing, but it's pretty clear what you all prefer.)

So today's installment of B5-Ch1 is the last of the Short Posts, which sha...

Learning As I Go

I can't believe it's only been two weeks since I started this adventure. Less than that, actually, since tomorrow is officially the two-week anniversary.

I'm still learning what you all like, and I'm trying to balance it with what's easiest for me and doesn't distract from writing the story itself.

My initial thoughts were to post story ins...

Long vs Short Installments?

B5-Ch1 has a lot of installments, 23 including the Prologue, but it's an extreme case.

Most chapters will be 12-15 installments, posted over the course of a month. So, about 3/week.

With that in mind, here's my question:

Do you want smaller posts more often (each scene will be its own post/email)?

Or do you want longer ...

Early Bonus

Everyone,

We just passed the $1000 goal to kick things up a notch. So I'll be posting a new chapter every month now, starting with B5-Ch1.

And in order to reward all of you, I'm going to publish the final installment of B4-Ch28 today (instead of tomorrow).

I still need to write a wrap-up and Afterword for B4, but I'll get to it sooner...

Lots of Familiar Names

I see lots of familiar names as patrons, people who've been reading and sending me feedback for more than a decade in many cases.

I don't know if I can describe how happy that makes me feel. And I'm supposed to be this talented writer? I know... right?

Thanks for all your faithful support over the years.

It means more than yo...

Patreon vs Donations

So, why did I decide to do a Patreon instead of just accepting donations (through PayPal, for instance)?

First, let me throw a massive amount of shade: PayPal censors the type of content you can consume as a consenting adult. That's right. PayPal is actively hostile to adult content creators. Their TOS prohibits many things that ...

Holy influx, campers!

We've had a lot of new members in the past few days.

I think we're going to make the $1000 Goal pretty easily.

Wow. Just... wow.

The tl;dr is that I'll go ahead and start releasing B5-Ch1 at the faster rate.

It's a whopping 22 installments with the Prologue (which I still haven't written). So y...
