My Little Ventrue Pt.6 Ch.4 (Ch. 79)

Gonna take a while to explore what's going on here.

An Inhuman Love 4

Wow this took a lot longer to do than I wanted. It's rare for me to get mentally stuck. Normally I can put out a lot of writing pretty fast, so this was an experience. Learning experience!

AIL 5 was voted on mooooonths ago, so I'll get to work on that asap, while votes for AIL 6 will be up soon.

Edit: Forgot to add, this is the picture that was used for inspiration for the inhuman in this erotic pairing. She's not identical to what I've written in the story, but there's...

My Little Ventrue Pt.6 Ch.3 (Ch. 78)

Excited to get here, terrified of where it'll go!

~~MINOR SPOILERS~~

I had fully intended for the sex scene in this chapter to be small, but after realizing where this chapter would end, I felt like making it longer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Little Ventrue Pt.6 Ch.2 (Ch. 77)

Getting a lot of work done. MLV will be back on the 8/18/28 schedule next month, and I've finished the draft for The Alien Negotiator for the An Inhuman Love bonus series. Votes will be starting for the next AIL chapter as soon as it's polished and released.

Minor Spoiler:

Having a little (lot) fun with the first few chapters of Part6 before it gets serious. I swear, I'm actively trying to write less sex scenes, but they keep happening!

Tax?

Patreon is being forced to start taxing people their Patreon pledges based upon the living location of individual patrons, since each country/state has their own rules.

I imagine this won't apply to a lot of my patrons, since everything on my Patreon is generally 'early access to public stuff' which should be tax free in many places. But you never know.  This starts next month.

Patreon will be releasing a public statement/e-mail about this soon, but I figured I should give yo...

My Little Ventrue Pt.6 Ch.1 (Ch. 76)

Time to build up another Part. Very excited, and terrified, to write this Part.

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.21 (Ch. 75)

So this whole chapter was a guilty pleasure, and was definitely following a 'theme' from the previous two. >.>

Next chapter is the beginning of Part 6, and will start unfolding some heavy story things, things I've been dropping hints about for a long time. It's enough to make a writer nervous!

I’m also going to start capitalizing more things with unique terminology in this setting, to help alleviate confusion. Not everything, but a few things that are easily mistaken for s...

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.20 (Ch. 74)

I'm hoping this chapter might be more popular with my female readers. 

:3

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.19 (Ch. 73)

This chapter might take some readers out of their comfort zone, but personally, I absolutely love writing this sort of stuff. Hope you enjoy it. :)

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.18 (Ch. 72)

Things happen! I can't say, or there'd be spoilers. But future chapters will start having sex scenes again, woo!

Next chapter will come on the 20th. The chapter after that, I'm not sure, but the 30th at the latest. I need to get the chapters onto an 8th/18th/28th release schedule, and then I can start working on bonus content again.

Bonus chapters are proving difficult to fit into my writing schedule, but know that I'm still trying to make it work. Sometimes it fits, sometimes it ...

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.17 (Ch. 71)

Building it up!

There's a scene in this chapter that I could take many pages to describe in greater detail, and maybe I will in a future chapter, but I didn't want to sink 5k words into it here. Watch 20 seconds of this https://youtu.be/jaHoK_V3OsY?t=195 (from that point, 195 seconds) to get a feel for it, though.

Next chapter will be probably three days delayed, probably releasing on the 13th, t...

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.16 (Ch. 70)

I'm not sure I managed to capture the chaos of what's happening in the previous chapter. People were far too calm. Hopefully this chapter does it better.

Stay safe out there

Welp, Canada just closed its borders to all countries (except the US).

As a healthy person who lives an extremely anti-social life, I'm not concerned about myself, but the world's getting pretty fucked up right now. Stay safe.

Literotica Awards

I won another award! Yay!

MLV 1.10 won an award long ago.
MLV 3.13 won an award last year.
MLV 5.04 won an award this year. Woo! https://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=1519500

These are awards based on total votes and vote scores in a single month, called 'Reader's Choice Awards'. So I owe thanks to all of you readers who vote. Thanks!

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.15 (Ch. 69)

Setting the stage.

Lot going on this chapter, building up to a lot of things for Book 6 (and the conclusion of Book 5, but a lot of Book 5 has been about building up for the future).

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.14 (Ch. 68)

Still no editor. Sadness.

I'm finding time to get back into the writing groove again. That means putting in more bonus content, or getting future content done earlier. An Inhuman Love - Alien Negotiator is at 10.5k and will probably be done somewhere around 16k.

Enjoyed writing this chapter. Guess who's back.

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.13 (Ch. 67)

My editor is alive! Unfortunately they're out of commission for a while. Hopefully they come back soon.

Part 5 is taking its sweet time building up various story points. I'm excited to reap the rewards in future parts. But, in the mean time, Part 5 has been a bit muddling, and I hope Part 6 will find a faster pace without feeling rushed.

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.12 (Ch. 66)

Little bit of sex here, little bit of sex there. I jump around characters a lot in this chapter. Not sure if that annoys readers or not.

Pt5 Ch10 Error

I said to be on the lookout for any weird errors that might appear due to my new editing process with an editor (who is still sick. I am very worried). Well, I found one!

In Pt 5 Ch 10, there was this block:

“… I missed this before. An exception to that would be if, instead of 'the Shadow World', it is written as, 'a shadow world', or a non-specific mention of the concept, rather than the specific place.)

Somehow, in grabbing the edits using my diff program, I...

Beautiful art

Sometimes I stumble upon art that really captures the look I had imagined for a character. I put those images in my reference album, which you can find here: https://imgur.com/a/mrfcJlt

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.11 (Ch. 65)

My editor is sick! They're in the hospital! So I did my usual double edit pass approach to this chapter, but it'll never be as tight as having a proper editor. Hopefully my editor friend recovers.

You may notice I spend a little time poking at what makes the Jen character 'tick' in this chapter. Jen is based on a woman I know in real life, a very open-minded person, and with how much MLV is based on sexual exploration, I enjoy getting across her very unusual views in the story. I know i...

As I'm editing and writing, I'm noticing a pattern.

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.10 (Ch. 64)

TWICE in this chapter, I wanted to insert a sex scene. Took a lot of willpower to not. :(

Clitorides/Literotica Awards

I should start getting involved in this, since I do put my stories on this website too.

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.9 (Ch. 63)

Back onto schedule! Now I just need to put writing on 'An Inhuman Love' into the new schedule, and we'll be back on track. Might not be able to make an AIL chapter every 6 weeks though, which is a shame. It's a target I'll continue to aim for, but my editor thinks it's not realistic.

Keep an eye open for any weirdness in the chapter. Still working out the pipeline between me and the editor. You might find some // marks, or maybe some sentences that make absolutely NO sense, if my mergin...

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.8 (Ch. 62)

This poor chapter was sliced and diced over the past month as I dealt with all my life issues, so I'm not entirely happy with it. It was also my first chapter with an editor, which had its own bumps that still need to be smoothed out. You may notice some of my prose are a little 'punchier' now, and there shouldn't be any/many typos, but you might also notice weird crap if I made a mistake working with converting the editor's feedback. Keep an eye out and let me know if you notice any issues.<...

Update & Discussion

Well damn, sorry about the lack of updates and chapters.  Life threw some curve balls.

BUT the cat is gone, and a half-dozen other things are dealt with. I'm still ironing out some issues with an editor, but I expect to have another MLV chapter out this month, and then we'll be back onto schedule, 3 MLV chapters a month, and An Inhuman Love chapter whenever I can fit it (ideally every 6 weeks. I'm 9k words into Alien Negotiator, but it's been on the back burner while life's been ch...

Update

Poor kitty is going back to the breeder in a couple weeks. Very sad. I would have loved to keep her, but there was an issue with the kitten that forced the situation. Bleh.

As you readers know, Goal 1 has always been a sort of 'fake' goal. It's my 'I need to hit this or eventually I'll have to get a part time job instead of writing full time' goal. But I'm going to tweak it slightly. If I hit Goal 1, I get a dog... which has absolutely nothing to do with this Patreon or my writing or an...

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.7 (Ch. 61)

Mmm, story threads doing things.

Bad news! While MLV will continue as scheduled, 3 a month from now on for as long as I can help it, An Inhuman Love will have to suffer, because I have no time due to some major issues with the kitten. Long story short, I have to return the kitten to the breeder sometime soon. Very sad story, and it's eating up a lot of my time.

I don't plan to get a replacement though. I will remain petless for the foreseeable future once this kitten is gone, and ...

My Little Ventrue Pt.5 Ch.6 (Ch. 60)

For those that are squeamish, I apologize.

I also apologize for being a bit slow with the next An Inhuman Love chapter. I just got a kitten (I am fully embracing the starving artist stereotype) and adapting to her, and her adapting to me, is taking some time. Poor thing is quite scared of her new home and a lot of my energy and time is going to trying to make her as comfortable as possible. :(
