Thinking of creating a new OC specifically for the purpose of whumping him brutally…

But I already have so many OCs…

But I want a new one

Okay, so…

Ciaran’s heart will never stop beating.

At first, it sounds like a superpower. But it’s not. It’s a curse, because it means that no matter what kind of torture he has to endure, he can’t die.

Or can he?

Dark magic might just be the answer to his problem. But it won’t be pretty.

The “Where Have You Been andi, It’s Been Six Months” Update

It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?

Not that it’s been a big thing. My follower count here has been steady, but I feel like 90% of my followers no longer visit Tumblr. Probably higher?

No matter. It’s been about 6 months since I last posted something, so I might as well update and explain what’s going on.

Bad Cuts

When I last posted, I was recovering from a knife injury. That sapped all the motivation I had in completing the standing projects I had at that time. After I mostly recovered from that, I entered a depressive funk for unrelated reasons for about a month. Eventually, I recovered, especially when I realized I needed to move from my old place. 5 years in a glorified basement was long enough. So I made an effort, and two months ago I moved to a nice new place. A week after I moved in, the landlords decided to sell the building. You see how this is all going.

Regardless, I made slow strides in finishing up what projects I could. And now I can say I made enough significant progress to talk about them! So let’s do that, and be on with it.

A Long Trip, Part 2

So, I’m at a point where I can say I’m finished with Part 2 of A Long Trip to Nowhere Important. As it stands, though, it’s about 4 times as long as Part 1, and possibly longer than [REDACTED RETCONNED NOVELLA]. Who knew that introducing a new character would be so difficult?

Furthermore, I’m at a standstill. I’m undecided whether to add yet another sex scene. It sounds like the weirdest point to be undecided, I know, especially when there’s some character development that is possible through that sex scene. But I’m also just…you know, kind of done with this part? And I kind of want to move to edits so I can move to Part 3, where another character will be introduced. (Joy!)

At this point, I’m going to hold off doing anything further until I deal with the other two projects first.

A Fun Little Swim, Part 2

This one is in editing stages still mainly because I haven’t done anything to edit it since I heard back from the new editor (who thankfully is still around). I’ll be reaching out to them to let them know that I am working on it again, and then we’ll see if we can make another round of edits work.

The Great Lake

This one…well, this one is about to get interesting. First off, I finally went and finished Chapter 3 of this story this past week! Huzzah! Of course, now I’ve all but completely forgotten the entire arc I had in mind for this story, buuuut at the very least certain parts of it will remain. I know the ending at least, I know the parts I want in there.

But here’s where things get interesting: I once again have no editor to look at this. The person I have editing A Fun Little Swim was reading this from the perspective of it being a monster piece. The Great Lake is more…futa-centric. And honestly, they’re not into that stuff, which is fine.

As I finished up Chapter 3, though, I began to think that I couldn’t just constantly hold out hope that an editor will show up and look these stories over for free, much as I would like them to. Not to mention I’ve lost touch with my original editor, who was…having a time in this pandemic. Moreover, these stories are unique in that I wrote them on my handy typey thing (aka Freewrite Traveler. Aside: Can I just say the Hemingwrite they just showed off recently was…kind of an overpriced joke?).

Eventually I came up with, or perhaps accepted, the idea that I should just publish these regardless of whether they’ve gotten polish from an editor or not. Admittedly, it’s frustrating because I risk getting whacked with poor ratings. But at the same time, it does mean that I will actually publish more than one story this year! How about that!

So I’ve been doing my best the last couple days polishing up The Great Lake into something decent. Then I will submit the first chapter to Literotica. I will probably do that tomorrow. Yes, you heard right: We might have something new by the end of August!

If these first three chapters do well, I may move to do the same to some other stories that have been gathering cobwebs (though not all of them) for lack of an editor. Scene from an Abandoned Bathroom in particular stands out in this regard. If they don’t do well…I’ll just chalk them up as a loss, and go back to seeking out editors.

The Immediate Future

So, this is what the plan looks like for the next month, month and a half:

• August-September(ish):The Great Lake, Chapters 1-3
• September/October:A Fun Little Swim, Part 2
• September (maybe): Scene From An Abandoned Bathroom

No guarantees though. We’ll see how this all pans out.

Anyway, take care. And hopefully the next blog post will happen before the end of February.
