Viv was sitting at Lauren's kitchen counter, eating one of the bagels we'd had delivered to fuel what I was increasingly thinking of as a Saturday-morning war council.
And she was eyeing Michelle -- who was still zip-tied to a chair -- with concern.
I gave Viv the full ...

So far this month:
A Choreographed Release (the sequel to A Tailored Release!)
Author's Note: I'm tagging this as a stand-alone for now because it's not really a full 'series', but this is actually a sequel to A Tailored Release! Read that first before this.
Many thanks to roxas_duh for sponsoring t...

Author's Note: A longer chapter with some exposition to set up the conflicts ahead. No chapter poll this week, as there's not a specific choice we're ending with, and I'm already well underway on the next chapter (it might go up as early as next week; I haven't decided on sequencing for the month yet.)
But I'll have another p...

The Thaumaturge, Chapter 17 (and poll!)
The Thaumaturge, Chapter 18 (and poll!)
Author's Note: To try to make this more readable I've put full character information at the very end instead of throughout, although Chloe does give them a thorough once over. Hoping that works best for those of you who are interested in the mechanical choices (which I assume are the people who actually read these between-scene updates in de...
2025-09-25 13:00:19 +0000 UTC View PostHello, Diane.
Happy to be back, I suppose.
No, no, no. I'd assure your viewers: there's no bad blood, not from my perspective. It's obvious we have some disagreements, but I certainly appreciated the spirited back-and-forth. I just wish you brought the same enthusiasm for rigorous conversation to som...

Author's Note: A shorter chapter this week, but only because it ends with an important choice. ;)
In the end, deciding what I should ask Lauren to focus on next was actually an easy choice.
I had to learn more about thaumaturgy. That was foundational.
It was like jiu-jitsu, I decided. Sure, it ...
2025-09-15 13:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: Another Speedrunner interlude chapter! Chloe's got a few upgrades to pick.
Becky and I chatted for a few minutes, comparing notes.
Well, kind of. I'm not sure she did much note-comparing. But I asked her questions and compared her answers to what I'd gone through in the level so far.
Her experie...
2025-09-11 13:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: Here's the Reader's choice from August's poll! Admittedly, this turned out a little differently than expected as I started writing it, and ended up about 50% longer than I expected with a slower build, but I'm pretty pleased with how it came together. I think it all works. Enjoy.
Two brief subject matter disclai...
2025-09-08 13:00:18 +0000 UTC View PostHello!
One thing I'm curious about -- independent of my usual monthly what-should-I-write-next polling -- is what, bigger picture, people have generally enjoyed reading the most. This will help inform how ongoing series evolve, what new stand-alone stories look like, and just generally help me determine what to write more of.

Authors Note: A fair amount of narrative ground to cover in this chapter, so it's a little longer than usual. I thought about splitting it in two, but wanted to make sure I got some smut in there. So the smut's in there. Obviously.
I'm already hard at work on Chapter 18, since this is a two-chapter month for the Thaumaturge, s...
2025-09-01 13:00:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe next week was odd.
Every time the door opened, I was sure I'd see Natalie, or if not her, maybe Mia or Kate. I'd become accustomed to their periodic visits.
But evidently post-surgery wound care was handled by a different nurse. So for the next five days, I got to know Donna. Donna was an older, severe-looking woman who ...
2025-08-28 13:31:09 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: Played with some genre tropes this level; let me know what you think!
I'll do another 'interlude' chapter with more mechanics stuff early next month, that will include a poll for Chloe's new advancement choices. This chapter was already pretty game-mechanics-heavy, so I figured I'd peel off some of that s...
2025-08-25 13:37:20 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Late August/early Sept kicks off the busy season at my day job, so I'm going to keep this brief and forego the usual mid-month update that includes the list of things I've written/list of things that are coming up. The plan for the month is covered here...
2025-08-21 13:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: It's been a long time since I updated this series! You may wish to review at least the most recent few chapters so you recall what Phil and his therapist(s) have been up to!

2025-08-18 13:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: Hi there!
Usually I post the "what should I write next" poll around this time. But as it turns out, I hit 100 paid subscribers yesterday! A big milestone.
As a bonus, in lieu of the usual poll, here's a passion-project story I've been working on when I’ve been blocked on other things.
Author's Note: Hello!
Apologies for what's about to be a long preamble. This is the start of a sequel series to Dungeon Mistress and so I wanted to take the opportunity to set some expectations.
This first chapter is from Mike's perspective, but they won't all be; we'll be back inside Chris's head soon enough, a...
2025-08-11 13:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: if you've for some reason decided just to skip ahead, please understand that this chapter is one of four different endings to the story. This is the last one and completes the Masseuse remastered!
They both blinked.

"...So the werelions are taking care of her, and Diana should be fine sometime tomorrow." I finished.
I'd left out the graphic details, but it wasn't like I could hide the fact that I'd been having sex with Diana from Lauren and Viv. They understood how thaumaturges worked.
The explanation had taken a long time; Lauren had pep...

Here's what I posted in July:
The Thaumaturge, Chapter 15 (one of the Reader poll selections)
2025-08-01 13:00:24 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: So, this bears some explanation. This is not a "normal" full chapter with a fleshed out sex scene, but as I started working on next month's Speedrunner chapter, I realized there's a fair amount of conversational exposition and information dumping to get things from where we left them at the e...
