So, good news: my writing mojo has returned! Bad news: not in time to get an extra chapter under the hood for this week! Good news? You get to see the second half of the (still unfinished) space combat fic!
Content Warning: The Terran half of this continues to be military sci-fi logistics wank with a mild dash of feralism.

Hey! Hey! Guess what?! I ran out my buffer entirely! It finally happened!
By way of a mea culpa, instead of a preview of next week's chapter of The Floret in the Mirror, you get an excerpt of like length from a fic I've been writing off and on for over a year at this point. Someday it'll get finished — until then, it's languished on the back burner. But you, o' patrons, get a sneak peak at what I have occasionally described as "What if that Star Trek TOS episode "Balanc...

Hey y'all. So, good news, bad news. Bad news, I don't have a finished chapter due to the various factors I mentioned last week. Good news, I have, I dunno, about half a chapter that I can post, and it's more or less a complete scene, so you don't go totally without.
(I'm starting to think this time of year in general is just hell on my creative impulse — which is weird because I prefer it by far to summer!)

Hey all! Still on the content treadmill here, plus finishing up some freelance work on the side — hopefully that won't interfere with my uploading things on time, but if it comes to that, I'll let y'all know. I doubt it'd result in more than a single-week hiatus, but obviously I'd like to avoid that if at all possible.

Okay, back on schedule!! This week's chapter may well change significantly in the next week or so, so don't get too used to how it looks right now, but that's the nature of seeing things less far along in the process of being written and edited — as outlined, this chapter did a lot of other things that might still sneak in!

You know how life finds a way? Yeah. Sometimes life finds a way to really mess up your schedule. Hence why this post is coming in two days late. Sorry, y'all. You're getting a hot-off-the-presses draft this week, which means it's probably gonna be draftier than normal, so mind the rough edges.
The good news is, you get a sneak preview at five thousand of the smuttiest words I've ever written. Mind those content warnings, though, they're not foolin'.

Hello, y'all! Time for another draft preview, and the beginning of (finally) getting into the intended cadence of the story, alternating chapter-for-chapter between Jess and, well, Jess. (I'm also running up against my buffer — the trip really took a toll on it — but worry not, I should have a finished draft preview ready for y'all this time next week!)

Greetings from not-that-sunny [REDACTED], where I am holed up and watching my chapter buffer slowly tick away while I turn my attention to other things (such as fun new allergic reactions). Today, our draft preview concludes Digital Jess's tutorial with a bit more extreme lewdness and a whole lot of Kana bloviating about perceptions of digital networks. Following this chapter, we should more or less stick to a rotation between the Jesses, chapter for chapter — introducing them both too...

Hey folks. I am writing this a day ahead of time, so forgive me if I'm a little perfunctory about it. Y'all ready to shift perspective? Because I just wrote a whole-ass 100k word story without a perspective shift and let me tell you, I love me some perspective shifts, so buckle up and get ready to meet Jess's co-protagonist: Jess!

Welp, I've posted the first chapter publicly. Committed now. ;)
Chapter 2 picks up right where Chapter 1 left off - mostly because this all used to be Chapter 1 and it just got too long. Once things settle down I do want to trade off chapters between Jess and... well, you'll see. ^^

Hey, friends. Been a hot minute, hasn't it? I've been plugging away the last couple of weeks at The Floret in the Mirror, and I've got a decent lead built up, so I'm going to start releasing it publicly starting next week — and you know what that means! That's right, you get a sneak peak at the opening for this story about identity, digitization, mystery, and sex so hot it's physically impossible. I'd been planning for this to be a shorter story, more in line with Sui Gene...

The final chapter. It's always bittersweet, ending a story and knowing you may not ever get to come back to these characters that you've spent months getting to know as intimately as possible. Stories need an ending, though. Endings give closure, give meaning, give structure to what came before.
I'd been planning to start up novelposting, but alas, my brain has not been in gear on that for some time, despite the hyperfocus on researching I had going for it. Frustrating, to say the...

Greetings! I actually remembered that I update on Saturday this week!
This week's preview chapter is a bit short — I sat down, wrote this in almost a single sitting, and then realized I'd said everything I needed to say in this chapter. I'm honestly not sure what I'm going to do with it, since it's very necessary but it's also just barely over 2000 words, and that feels so short for such a key moment in the story. I will probably end up fluffing this out a bit over the ...

So, I have been sleeping really poorly this last week, and uh, I kinda lost an entire day in there. Mea culpa, y'all — I'm trying to keep to a pretty firm schedule here, I promise!
In any case, we continue to close in on the conclusion of Sui Generis! Here, in this chapter preview, is the moment you've all been waiting for, the actual weight-carrying argument that will determine Judy's future! Except there's something else going on at the same tim...

Y'all, we are getting so close to the end here. Four chapters left, including this one, assuming I don't pair up one of them with one of the others and make an extra large chapter because it's very, very short. But that's a concern for another day — right now, it's Sui Generis draft time.

It's Saturday, and we've only got five more of these left, y'all! Inclusive of today! Wild, isn't it? Pretty soon you're gonna be getting draft chapters of completely different characters doing completely different... well, not completely different things, anyway.
The ending of this chapter will probably change just a little — I'm very particular about the way I leave off my chapters, and this one just feels unfinished to me — but please enjoy the callback to som...

Once more, it's advance draft time, this one with an actual bit of a hole left in it that I still need to fill — but that's a problem for Tomorrow Kana (or, more likely, Next Week Kana). Today, apart from other commitments, I'm going to try to get to draft completion on Sui Generis. Yes, really! I'm that close!

In other news: I'm getting very close to text-complete on Sui Generis. Pretty soon (with any luck), I hope to be done outlining the novel I'm working on, so look forward to that. I also have an outline more-or-less complete (in a structural sense, if nothing else) for what's probably going to be my next long-form HDG fic, a sequel of sorts to No Gods,...

Guess what, y'all? It's time for the advance look at next week's chapter of Sui Generis, and this one's a doozy. Not only is it a good bit longer than the usual chapter, it's also much, much lewder, with some good old-fashioned on-screen Affini/floret filth. I love my job.

Sui Generis is fully caught up on ScribbleHub, so tomorrow the great NoGodsNoMasters-ing begins; at one chapter a day, that'll take me roughly a month to get through.

It's that time again — chapter 11 has gone up on AO3, so here's the draft of chapter 12! This one's in pretty good shape even just as a draft, probably because this is a scene I've spent a lot of time thinking about beforehand. As a result, it just sort of fell out of my head and onto the paper (or, well, the screen, in this case). It's kind of an important scene, in that it sets the stage for a decent chunk of the story moving forward.
Of note: I've also started uploading back ...
