Runaway In Stepford: Chapter 2

Hope everyone is ready, because it's time to meet Dad!

I wanted to thank some friends from discord who gave some feedback on the first two chapters of this. Aubree and Jamie, you both gave some very useful feedback and I appreciate it a lot!

Molly is a prickly little thing, but she's not mean or rude, just a bit wary of others. That's how I try to write her at this point in the story anyways. This story is very much about her learning to open up and accept the family she's being ...

CMSN: Overwatch Goes Stepford (Chapter 4)

Thank you to Shinylamp for commissioning me!

We've got a continuation of the Overwatch Goes Stepford series, which follows Sombra as she falls under the thrall of a company dedicated to brainwashing women into 50s housewives, with a retro futuristic twist. Last time we had a detour to focus on Dva, but now we're back with Sombra and Widowmaker!

Enjoy!

Runaway In Stepford: Chapter 1

Thank you to my $5 and $10 Patrons for voting on this story! I gave them the option of voting for a few different older stories of mine, all of them one-shots, which I wanted to redo from the ground up as multi-part stories. The winner of the poll was, of course, A Runaway In Stepford, the story which introduced recurring character Molly Johnson.

For those who have read the original story, this isn't just going to be a beat for beat remake. I have a few specific changes in mind I've be...

Story Roadmap (Early 2025)

Helloooooooo neighbors! I hope you're all doing swell! Or, well, as swell as is possible, considering the state of the world right now. I won't delve into that, but I do want to say that I hope my work can be a nice escape from everything that's going on.

Last year had its upsides and downsides, with some stories I'm very proud of such as Bad Beat and Switching Proper Places, as well as some less than fun things like me being bedridden throughout October. Thankfully, I'm feeling much ...

Double Or Nothing (Bet On Black/Matron's Handmaiden Crossover)

After New Year's, we're kicking off 2025 with a story that is, shall we say, very important to me.

Last year I started reading the work of an author named clairanette over on AO3. I'm a massive fan of all of her stories, but my personal favorite is The Matron's Handmaiden, which I highly suggest that anyone and everyone who enjoys my work read for themselves. It's the length of two novels, and is incredibly rich and carefully thought out in a way I admire more than I could possibly des...

Burn It To Cinders (Happy New Year)

Happy New Years!

I originally wanted to write both a story for Christmas and one for New Years, but sadly the Christmas story took too long and still isn't finished. I will post it once it's ready, but thankfully this one is ready for its proper holiday!

I've had a few ideas for how different holidays are celebrated in Stepford, and one of the more interesting ones is New Years. We associate New Years with resolutions, new beginnings, and being better versions of ourselves. So how...

CMSN: Good Morning, Stepford!

Thank you to DocBrown3 for commissioning me!

Here we have the beautiful tale of a girlboss news anchor from California, who found joy in smalltown Stepford suburbia. How so? And what became of her beloved wife? Well, I'll let you find out for yourselves!

Bad Beat: Chapter 7 (Finale)

The time has come, my good friends and neighbors, to wrap up this story and the year 2024 along with it!

This story was a bit different for me. I really feel like I struggle to show actual scenes of torture and classic conditioning, and oftentimes I try to make myself write those scenes specifically so that I can improve. I hope I was able to do that with this story, and the various scenes involving Angela at the mercy (or lack thereof) of Maddock. I feel like I have gotten better at it...

Drawing Commissions Open!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am currently taking up to 2 drawing commissions! These will be full body, color commissions with basic backgrounds, like I typically do.

Fictional characters and OCs are okay, I would just need references to work off of.

Pricing is $80 per character, paid upfront via paypal.

DM me if interested!

Patron Update: Art Packs

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know about something I'm trying out/experimenting with.

I recently posted an art pack which can be bought for $20. It contains 7 drawings that haven't been posted to Patreon, since they're more on the lolita fashion/new edict side of things than stepford.

Part of the reason I'm trying this is because I'm tight on money and have bills coming up, and part of it is because I wanted people to have a way to access this art in case it inter...

Bad Beat: Chapter 6

I hope you're all looking forward to some quality time between Elaine and Angela!

It is interesting how this whole story has developed. Originally, Nurse Maddock was just a character I created so that I'd have a regular character to use in stories set in a brainwashing facility. Then I introduced the idea of Gabriel Chesterfield having a sister separately from the entire idea of Nurse Maddock. But I just thought it'd be a fun reveal to show that these two distinct characters are actual...

Family Legacy (CMSN)

Thank you to Angus for commissioning me! I hope you enjoy this story! I had a lot of fun writing something for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday!

Bad Beat: Chapter 5

Thank you to everyone who has been reading so far! I'm incredibly happy with the way that Bad Beat has been going, and despite being set back a fair amount by a truly awful double-whammy of viruses while I worked on this chapter, I did manage to finish it! In fact, it's probably my favorite chapter yet, due to some of the events that finally occur.

Hope you enjoy~

Story Roadmap (2024 Update)

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to give another update on upcoming things!

Back in July I gave a bit of a look at what stories were coming down the pipeline, and several of those have since either been posted or have started coming out, so I figured I'd give another update!

Bad Beat, the Nurse Maddock prequel story, is going right now, and a new oneshot featuring Brent and Annie and Patricia from Two Ladies just went up recently as well.

I'm also still working on Mya'...

Bad Beat: Chapter 4

Whoops, somehow I forgot to put up commentary here! I think because I scheduled it while I was bedridden lol.

I hope everyone is doing okay right now, and that this story serves more as a welcome distraction than a reminder of the bad things in life. Take care of each other, and be kind as much as you can.

Don't be a Nurse Maddock, basically. But I do hope you enjoy reading about her past.

CMSN: FLF Turncoat

Thanks to Vasily for commissioning this story!

It's set in the FLF Stepford universe of stories, which Vasily created and which I'm personally a big fan of! If you like this, highly recommend checking those stories out over on DA!

I actually wrote this back at the end of September/beginning of October, but sadly wasn't able to post it due to my illness. Thankfully I'm starting to feel better now, so I wanted to post it ASAP!

Odd One Out (Oneshot)

Sadly the fourth chapter of Bad Beat is a bit behind schedule, so I've got a fill-in for this week!

It's a return of Brent, Annie, and Patricia Taggert from Two Ladies, although it's set prior to their appearance in All Hallows Eve. I think their little neighborhood and those in it (the Taggert trio, Eve Landen and her "mothers", and Doctor Sang and his wife Cassandra) is a lot of fun to touch on, even though I don't return there quite as often as the Bet On Black neighborhood. I do pl...

Medical Update

Hi neighbors! I wanted to give you all an important update.

I've been pretty badly ill the past 3 weeks, and as of today I finally have a diagnosis. Turns out I caught mono, and so I've been on bedrest and will continue to be until I've recovered.

Now, I do have stories and art scheduled for the next several weeks, so you hopefully won't see any disruption in updates, but I really would appreciate any assistance possible in this time, as I'll be out of my dayjob for a while. <...

Bad Beat: Chapter 3

Now we're properly into the flashback section of the story, so I hope you're all ready to find out how exactly we get from Angela Chesterfield to Angela Maddock~

Enjoy!

WRITING COMMISSIONS OPEN

UPDATE: COMMISSION SLOTS HAVE BEEN FILLED!

CMSN: Conformity Is Our Creed

The commissioner of this story has opted to remain anonymous. If you like bigoted people getting their comeuppance, you'll probably enjoy it!

Please enjoy!

Bad Beat: Chapter 2

I hope that the reveal of who Nurse Maddock and Angela were having dinner with wasn't too obvious, but also I wanted it to be properly foreshadowed. There's nothing I like less than a reveal that doesn't have proper foreshadowing, and I'd rather people figure it out way ahead of time than have it be nonsensical.

So yes! As it turns out, her Angela is the very same Angela mentioned in Bet On Black. I threw in another mention of her in the Bet On Black Interlude I wrote recently, but even...

Bad Beat: Chapter 1

Bad Beat: A sudden downturn in luck which ruins a gambler at the last possible moment.

A brand new story, featuring the grand return of one Nurse Elaine Maddock, previously the recurring antagonist of the Stoplight Stepfordization stories, as well as the story Becoming Baby Betsy which I had to remove from Patreon in order to prevent my page from getting taken down! Good times.

I've wanted to bring her back for a while now, and I finally settled on the next story to tell involvi...

Ruthie Jean's High School Reunion: Part 2 (FINALE)

As always with these final chapters, I struggle with what to put here, because so much of what I have to say involves things that are revealed this chapter, and I don't want to spoil it for anybody. So please, do forgive this little lady for dancing around it~

What I will say is that it feels really nice to return to these characters, and this part of Stepford. I'll always love stepfordizing new characters, but there's a reason that I've commissioned art of Mya and Mallory and Vaani, a...

Smoke And Mirrors (CMSN)

Thank you to Vasily26 for commissioning me!

I've got quite a backlog of commissions I've been working my way through, and right now I still have a few more to finish before I can take any new ones, but we are making progress!

This commission in particular returns to the little curio shop that was first seen in The Stepford Game, and later appeared in Turn Back The Clock. Its owner is a fun character to write, and I think I have a few more stories involving him and his wares that I...

Ruthie Jean's High School Reunion: Part 1

Last time we had a story set during the midst of Bet On Black, but this week, we're jumping ahead to after Mya became a permanent resident of the wonderful little town. But Mya, much as I love her, isn't the star of our current story.

This is alllll about Ruthie Jean and her family, baby.

I was actually talking to my partner about Bet On Black and the characters in its cast when I realized that Ruthie Jean and Gabriel would have attended high school together. After all, they're ...

CMSN: Survivors of Stepford

This was commissioned by Angust! Thank you so much!

I don't want to spoil anything about this story, other than that it was an opportunity to write a type of story I've been interested in writing for a long, long time.

Hope everyone enjoys~

Bet On Black: Interlude

What's this? Bet On Black?

Indeed it is! I wrote up a whole new chapter of Bet On Black, set between chapters 3 and 4, before Mya found out that Stepford was brainwashing women into housewives, but after her relationship with Gabriel turned physically... Intimate.

It's just something I really wanted to revisit, and I personally always felt like chapter 4 came too soon after Mallory's introduction in chapter 3, so this story exists in between the two to give them some much need...

Patron Update: Second Half Of 2024 Roadmap

Hi everyone! It's been a bit since we had a state of the neighborhood update, and I figured now is a great time.

With Switching Proper Places having ended, I'm already hard at work on what's coming next to the Patreon. To be more specific, my plans for the back half of 2024 are to focus more on existing characters and neighborhoods in Stepford, and to continue telling stories about these characters; how they became brainwashed and what they continue to do after their initial re-educat...

DRAWING COMMISSIONS OPEN

Just letting everyone know that I'm still doing drawing commissions for $80 per character!

I've got 3 open slots, open to anybody, regardless of patron level. Just DM me if interested!
