Hey everyone, Bobo here with your monthly Cicada Springs update.
I hope everyone has been doing well! We're all officially halfway through the year 2024, which has been a MUCH better year for me than the one prior. Incidentally, that success has had some effect of me not being in the office as much for this past month. I started a new job very early on in June, and between training and getting into a new schedule, I haven't had a lot of time to be in my office.
As such, I thought ...

A, um... expanded tale around the original Tamberland Tonnage.
Fully... uh... fleshed out... into four-part sequel series with an alternate ending.
Aw jeez it's hard to not write these with puns.

The End of Game Special is a very important part of every round of Mix and Match - it's where I get to reward you all for playing and voting and generally just keeping up with it! And that means that it's time to unveil the winner of this year's Mix and Match game!
Revisiting these is always pretty fun - Mel and Avery make for a fun pair, and any excuse to revisit some of my favorite characters is always appreciated. I think that this was a good round to end out on, and with an addition...

The next round of the mix and match endgame special will be posted tomorrow - I'm out of the area at the moment and for some reason the scheduled post didn't save for that submission. Don't worry! I'll get it posted asap

Oh yeah, this one is about Cerys and her daughter Juno.

The End of Game Special is one of the most important parts of any round of Mix and Match.
In the format that I've been working with throughout this game, there are three winners that each get representation in the form of a sequel. Included here is the original round that inspired it, as well as the sequel story.
The second place winner was a continuation of "Help! I'm an obscenely powerful Demon Queen but I'm trapped living as a modern-day Fast-Food Worker, and all I can think ab...

Gosh, YEARS at this point.
So, in order to spice things up, I made a new format! The Gold Format works more like madlibs where characters will be slotted into roles within the story. Three out of the five rounds this time followed this setting, resulting in some really cool stuff! Then we had two "standard" rounds that work with the typical subject meets prompt format, resulting in some more wacky stories.

Hello, everyone! I'm endeavoring to get these updates out sooner in the month. It's always a good time when I'm not scrambling to slide in at the last possible day in the month.
I hope that May has been good to you all! I start a new job next month, which will hopefully lead to a little more spending money around the house. After a hellacious last year, things are starting to pick up a little - hopefully they'll continue if I furiously start knocking on wood.
This update is very ...

I figured that I'd give you guys on this tier a little something extra this month.
For those of you that don't know, Fallout has been one of my favorite series since before even the Buttercombe days of my writing career. My Xbox 360 existed almost solely so that I could play Fallout: New Vegas. I'm a massive fan of the series, and the new show has given me fucking brainrot, dude.
It's all I can think about it. I'm watching hours-long videos on Youtube about useless facts ...

Being the love interest of a superhero is one of the most stressful things that you can be in the Marvel universe. Your lover can die, get brainwashed, body-swapped, get weird powers, or just get broken up because the Powers That Be decide that you're better off not together anymore. Whoops.
Mary Jane Watson's relationship with Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man, is one of the biggest sources of stress in her life. So what happens when she learns to cope with that stress using fo...

No way that they would do that on purpose, right?

Hey kids! I write a lot.
More specifically, I have written a lot. Over the course of the past three years, between commissions and personal projects and game development, I've probably written over a million words. And that's a lot.
Due to me uploading a lot of my stories in chapter-length increments over the course of the month, that can make it kind of hard for people who haven't been following me this whole time to keep up, y'know? I try to do stuff w...

I've been writing for a long, long time.
There is a large chance that, if you're following this page, you haven't read everything that I've ever written - mostly because it's scattered across various websites, or it isn't easily compiled, or so on and so forth.
So, as a treat for my free members and my more game-oriented subscribers, I want to change that! At least once a month (until I run out) I'll be taking some of my favorite stories released to the public and re-releasing the...

a 1k continuation for the 3rd place winner
a 2k continuation for the 2nd place winner

I hope that April has been well for all of you! It's been a very fast month for me. I've been searching for another part-time job that pays me better so that I can better supplement my earnings from Patreon. And while that, and my average commission slate, has taken me out of the office more than usual this month, I still have some things here that I think you're going to like.

It's always been Serena's dream to own a bakery. To get out from behind the desk of her thankless job as a social worker and to do what she's good at.
Unfortunately, this just isn't the world where dreams can just come true. Not without putting a lot of money and effort into it; and that's not even taking into consideration that owning a business is at least 50% luck.
However, there are powers that be that favor Serena and her quest for opening up a bakery. Cute little devils that...

A long, long time ago Mollycoddles wrote a story called Alice the Fat Cheerleader.
And then, only just a long time ago, I started writing fanfiction for it that answered the question: What If Alice's bitchy mom Lilith got fat instead?
And now, here we are.
This has been requested by lots of people, and I finally sat down and did some editing, formatting, and streamlining to make this whole thing possible. Starting from my very first chapter (written like seven years ago, I t...

The response to this story has been really good - so I figured I'd give it a quick edit and throw it all together. So that anyone who doesn't feel like going back and finding the last few parts doesn't have to.

Write Nights are when I get too drunk and let people shout prompts at me.
The rules are that I drink, then I write. Then when round two starts, I drink more and then I write more. It's all very simple.
This time, the first round was topicless, and the second round was memes! If you're interested in reading more of my drunken stupidity, all of the other write nights are located on my discord.

Felix de la Rojas has been in the market of ruining people for years. It's his fetish, his kink, to watch good people become corrupted by the love and affection that he showers them with. After years of playing it safe as a well-liked B-list actor, after years of ruining his wife and her family, some issues have come home to roost.
Like wife, like sister, like mother.
