And here it is: the new chapter is ready, yay!
Even though the writing went smooth enough, editing this one took me much longer than expected, but finally it's done and I'm happy with the result.
Actually, I already have a fairly good idea of where to go with Chapter 4 and possibly 5 too, but that's a discussion for another d...

Just a quick post to let you all know that the writing of Cul-de-sac Moms Ch. 3 is proceeding smoothly. In fact, I only have to finish putting together the final scene, then the story will be concluded and I'll get started on the editing.
I plan on starting to post Previews later this week, or during the weekend,...

As you probably know already, after the tie between An Offer He Can't Refuse and Cul-de-sac Moms in the last poll, my personal vote went to Cul-de-sac Moms. At that point I was still only 99% sure, but since then I've reached a 100% level of certainty.
In fact, I've already started writing Cul-de-sac Moms Ch. 3! So yeah, long stor...

Alright, I think this is a first: the poll ended in a tie!
Even though Little Sister's Big Butt came close enough, An Offer He Can't Refuse and Cul-de-sac Moms both did very well, equally well in fact, getting the same exact amount of votes, no less!
So, with no clear winner emerging...

Okay, time to pick the next story I'm going to write!
As I mentioned before, my first choice would be to go right back to Cul-de-sac Moms and write chapter 3, which I already have very clear in my mind.
However, the latest An Offer He Can't Refuse chapter was very fun to write, so I ...

Alright, here it is: after some delays in the past months, the new AOHCR chapter is finally ready!
Like I mentioned before, this episode is focused around a smaller cast, namely just Mike, Julia and Jennifer. In terms of sheer word count, I guess Jennifer takes a larger share here, but as far a...

Just a quick post to let you all know that the writing of Cul-de-sac Moms Ch. 2 is proceeding smoothly, but not exactly as quickly as I initially hoped.

Well, these are interesting results for sure!
On the one hand, the single most voted option is the 'group thing' one, but on the other hand, the second most voted scenario (by just one single vote) is the 'just Mike and Julia' option.

As I mentioned before, I've been wondering about the many possible directions that An Offer He Can't Refuse could take moving forward.

Right now the main cast is pretty broad, including Mi...

So, like the title says, this is just a very quick YES/NO poll that I feel is necessary to have before I get to work on the next project.
Basically, the issue is this: the latest poll was won by An Offer He Can't Refuse, so I should just get on with the new chapter, period. However, I already sort of deviated from t...

Okay, based on the survey results, it looks like adding a bunch of new character into the LSBB cast isn't going to be a viable option. I guess it makes sense: the cast is already pretty big as it is, so there's no need to bring in a bunch of new characters from Gabby's family as well.
Long story short, for the t...
