Update 22nd Sep '24

A weird thing happened this week. Because I have a lot of plates spinning and I'm not sure what to focus on, I put a poll up on Monday to see what patrons would prefer.

Very quickly this looked to favour HoHH, but because I have an extremely contrary muse, the first reaction was "I've got to get as much of this regular writing done before the official poll results next Monday".

I don't, of course, but I wasn't going to tell my muse that, not when it triggered a bit of a writing rampage.

The start of the week was very productive. It tailed off a little at the end as I had to handle some other distractions, but was mostly good.

The first draft of the new Annette Brite story is written. That has her trap an unsuspecting client in "The Big Black Chair". I originally had no plans to put it in the next collection, but then wrote a sneaky little segment at the end that perfectly sets up the final story in the collection. I need to have a quick reread of the other unassigned Brite stories to make sure the sequencing works, but I think this will be a good fit.

As for the collection, I might have finally made progress on the running order. The problem story is the title story: "A Succubus for Social Justice". This is a multipart story where someone gets hold of the succubus tablet and sends the succubus after various enemies. The multi-part nature was putting the running order in a state of flux.

I'll talk about this in more detail in future, but I think I've got this sorted out now. It does mean the new collection will have more new material than I initially intended, but it also means I'll likely have enough unassigned stories left over in my stockpile that the next collection after will only require maybe 3 new stories.

The other thing I did was finish the first draft of a Halloween story for Literotica's upcoming competition. I finished and typed up the first half a few weeks back. The second half had been on hold for a while as it's a fairly complex group sex scene involving 5 succubi. I managed to figure that out and was very pleased with how it dropped into place. That one is very hot.

I'll go over the poll results and how they affect my plans tomorrow.

A lot will depend on what I get done today. I did want to have another of the collection stories finished as that would tempt me into going nuts for the last week in September to see if I could actually get most of the collection done. If I can break the back of most of the work, I'm fine with going full steam ahead on it and getting the new collection out before the end of the year.

However, if the initial rush dies off, I don't want to let it drag through October and maybe even November, especially when the majority of you here want me to be working on HoHH.

I'll see how today goes. Next week I'll need to type up "The Big Black Chair" and the Halloween story. I'll see where I'm at after that.

Thanks for the continued interest and support.
