Harem Hotel Ch. 30+31

Back at it! I've changed up my writing style slightly for the last several chapters, and I feel like it's working relatively well for me. Most of these are broken up into ~600 word vignettes with ~5 of them to a chapter. It gives a chapter length ~3k words which is a pace that feels right, without requiring a massive investment in a single chara...

Harem Hotel Ch. 28+29

As I was finishing Ch 29 I hit a wave of burnout out of nowhere, so I'm going to take a couple days off of writing to give my brain the chance to reset.

In the meantime, though, here's chapters 28 and 29

Harem Hotel Ch 26 + 27

Next two chapters, I'm starting to work on the 2nd round of TF's for post-1st-dungeon dive.

Harem Hotel Ch. 25

Quest day resolutions, getting spicy with Stheno.

Harem Hotel Ch 23 + 24

Continuing the Blue's Quests arc of Harem Hotel. I'm also trying to use this as an opportunity to think through how I want to handle the building infiltration arc of Dark Path. I stalled out on that because when I started looking at the events I had planned, I realized that they were missing impactful consequences of any sort. It felt hollow, so...

Harem Hotel Ch 21 + 22

Starting the first big arc after the intro in the Harem Hotel series.

Harem Hotel Ch. 19 + 20

Starting to speed things along in terms of action, looking forward to using this next section to start to develop some characters and spice things up. Rough drafts, but I'll update the post with edited versions at some point.

(Update: Slightly edited versions w/ spelling & grammar corrections)

Harem Hotel - Chapter # Update

Just to fully confuse everyone:

I got tired of my chapter numbers (where the first chapter I wrote for HH was #1) not matching up to the ones on CHYOA (where Chapter 1 was AliC's initial intro post), so I've re-labeled and re-numbered all of them.

The good news is that they're structured in such a way that they'll now match CHYOA goi...

Harem Hotel - Ch. 1-15

Just for convenience sake, putting them all in one place, including the latest few.

15 is new content, chapter numbering is slightly different from section to section in chapters 11-14, but if you're caught up to date prior to this post you don't need to re-read anything before the latest one.

Elsie making bold moves to secure her f...

Harem Hotel - 11-14

I'll probably actually break chapter 14 into a couple sections before I post it.

Harem Hotel - Revised Chapter 10

Mostly the same, but cleaned up and removed an extraneous section, fixed some grammar.

Also bonus Week 1 Character Sheet.

Harem Hotel - Class Results (Chapter 10)

Technically there's still a while left in the polls, but the results aren't really changing now so I'm starting to write up what happens next.

If nothing changes by tomorrow morning, I'll end the polls early so I can get on with writing what's going on.

I'm still working on the next section of Dark Path and Magic Notebook, but while ...

Harem Hotel - Polls Live

If you've been following the Harem Hotel chapters going live at CHYOA, today is the day we finally reach the first set of polls:

https://chyoa.com/chapter/The-season%27s-explanation.1688061

1st set is the class selection for each char...

Magic Notebook - Reading Order

This isn't anything new (I think, pretty sure my posts for these are up to date) but to make it easier to catch up on Magic Notebook I wanted to put together a reading order post. I'll try to keep this one updated as I add new chapters, as well.

I wish Patreon would let me pin a post in the collection, but it only lets me pin one on the ma...

Magic Notebook - The Interlude

This is a short Magic Notebook chapter designed to act as an interlude between the addition of Sophia and going after the next former Nootbook victim. I'll do the next victim's chapter next, and will probably alternate for a little while, showing the process of recovering the victim, and then what happens back at home as a result.

Chapters...

HH - Chapter 9 Revised

Thought about some of the class options I'm offering and re-wrote a bunch of the descriptions to better fit what I have in mind. Also updated some of the dialog.

HH - Chapter 9 Update

Added some interludes to get to know the party a little better, rewrote some of the dialog.

Harem Hotel Chapter 9

Final HH post for a while- these are going up at CHYOA 1/day until this one is posted, then I'm going to open polls for each of the character classes for a week. In the meantime, I've got some more Dark Path in mind, maybe also some Magic Notebook.

Harem Hotel Character Intros

The rest of the character intros - I'm publishing this over at https://chyoa.com/chapter/Kevin-Burgmeyer---A-37-Year-Old-Forever-DM.1685261 but I'll always post them here first. After the first round of posts, though, I'm goi...

Harem Hotel

I've been browsing through some of the stories that have been put together on CHYOA.com lately. One of the ones that stands out to me is the Harem Hotel family, which revolve around a reality show-style setup where a bunch of women are involuntarily dragged in to serve as a harem for...

Master of One - Chapter 12

I will certainly need to come back and add/remove/update some sections from this chapter later, given its nature, but it's good enough now to let me move forward with getting the next part of the story written.

This chapter serves as a delineation between the story 'intro' and the entry point into the larger plot - basically, everything be...

Dark Path Chapter 6 Update

Added a thousand words to the end of the chapter. It was originally going to be the start of the next chapter, but I feel like the flow will be better if it's added on - it's mostly about Rachel, so this chapter winds up focused around her. I think that's fine in this case.

The next chapter is going to skip ahead until the next day and be ...

Dark Path Chapter 6

The next couple chapters are likely to be a little lighter in sex than the first few, as we've got some actual plot to tackle to move the story along. This serves as our introduction to the third member of Azalea's conspiracy, as well as showing Alex giving in to his dark urges that little bit more.

It also introduces a slightly more LitRP...

Dark Path Chapter 5

Relatively short chapter, introduces the third girl in Alex's harem and sets the stage for the final preparations to catch up to the prologue. I've got some events that I need to work out still, so it may be a couple of days before the next update on Dark Path.

Next update will probably be Master of One unless inspiration for a different t...

Dark Path Chapter 4

I took a stab at re-ordering the previous sections into new chapters, so I'm re-uploading them here. If you're catching up from the beginning, this is the current story in order. If you're already caught up, only Chapter 4 is new.

This is my 100th post with the "Writing" tag. I feel like I should celebrate somehow, but honestly, writing sm...

Dark Path

I've re-exported the sections of Dark Path I have written into days. Again, this probably won't be the final groupings for the story, but it makes enough sense for now. There are a few changes to some sections here and there, but if you're up to date on it and only looking for the latest section, I've uploaded that here separately.

I like ...

Master of One - Chapter 11

I'll probably need to come in and do some revisions to this chapter, it felt a little rushed, but it's taking longer to get to where I want to go with the story so I figure I'll just knock out a draft and figure out what it's missing.

Dark Path Chapter 4 next, we need to take Priya and have Azalea reveal the extent of her ambitions.

Dark Path - Chapter 3

Introduction of the new Priya. Right now, I'm labeling these by chapter, but I'm not certain where the actual section divides are going to sit. I decided that part of what I didn't like about my first attempt at writing this was the lack of time pressure, so I created the flashback/flashforward framework of the DETA raid to give myself a strict ...

Dark Path - Chapter 2

Much shorter than Chapter 1, but the stopping point felt right. I know what things happen next, I just need to figure out the right order, and what events bridge what. My plan is to do another chapter or so of Dark Path next, so look for another update within the next couple days.

Master of One Chapters 9 and 10

Back from my trip, back to writing. I have some edits I'm going and making through earlier chapters of MoO, I'll update the master doc in the next day or two.

I'm also getting progress made on the next chapter of Dark Path, that should come out in the next day or two.
