The Chess Girl Encyclopedia!

I'm going to get these pictures up so you don't think I'm just pulling your leg here and then gussy up the post with all the stuff I have to say about it in a bit. Maybe a bit-bit. Here we go!

The Princess and the P...

...I'm not going to lie, this story's title makes me laugh, and I feel super clever for coming up with it, just incredibly clever. But I also feel real weird posting it as a big ol' title for a post.

Prince Edmund believes that a princess ought to be...princess-y! If he's going to marry a woman, she ought to be princess-y! And Mabel is absolutely not princess-y!

Catnipped

There's quite a bit going up tonight, and this is the first part of it! Up first is a story called "Catnipped." You know, for someone who claims to not like cats, I sure seem to like catgirls.

Marcus doesn't make a habit of letting strangers into his house, especially not when it's as late as it is now. But... Well, what could one catgirl do to him?

Brushstrokes

This is the second of the two stories tonight, and, honestly, this one is a bit...different compared to what I typically write. I'm not unhappy with it, though! That's high praise, I know, but I don't exactly know what to say about it because it's very much not a Typical Carol J. Story. If you don't care for it, I won't begrudge you at all for your opinion, and you can rest assured that this sort of thing is not going to happen very often at all.

Wrong Place, Right Time (w/ Art!)

Tonight, there are two pieces to read, and this is the first one! This is definitely the more conventional of the two, and this comes with the bonus of an absolutely fucking incredible piece by my buddy CuddleSword! This is a noir story (noiry?) called "Wrong Place, Right Time" !

Loot Get! (WIP)

The second post tonight is one that...isn't quite finished yet. This one is going to have some special formatting in it that I want to get just right, especially because I'll be able to use that formatting for other stories going forward, too. Trust me, you'll know it when you see it. Hopefully you'll like it, too!

It should be up soon.

Until then, thank you so much for your support and for your patience, too.

Inn Dependent

Hey, everyone! I've got two posts tonight, with a few more (hopefully) coming up in the next few days! The first is a story titled "Inn Dependent".

A hero's journey isn't merely dangerous outside of villages; it can be perilous in villages, too. Quint might think that he's safe now that he's made it out of the treacherous mountain pass he had to hike through, but is that really the case? A warm bed is very temptin...

Digital Dread

This is an anthology of some flashfics, all of which share the theme of "the dangers of being perpetually online."

I apologize if some of these are a little light on the NSFW elements, but I'm confident that they're all at least enjoyable reads, if perhaps a little truncated. You gotta remember, these were all written in chunks of thirty minutes!

...More than that, though, this is kind of meant as a prelude to something I can finally, finally show off soon! The only thing...

Busting Out 2: Snake Eyes

This is a sequel to my story Busting Out, and it features the second of what has always secretly been a pair of outlaws!

Chess Girl Encyclopedia Profiles (ft. art from Moldykins!)

Hoo! OK, so, the posts today were kind of sparse! Sure, there were links to the stories and whatnot, and I guess it'd be fun to read them, but why were they just one measly sentence? Is it because I'm "exhausted" and "going to collapse into bed" or something?

No! Certainly not! I'm wide awake! I am vibrating with excitement! You see, I was just fine-tuning the formatting on something I am 100% thrilled to finally be able to show off! Without ...

Case of the Cumbrains - Sweetheart Reserve

I'm exhausted right now, but I at least have these stories to post. I want to update the post soon, but my brain just isn't capable of doing it this moment.

Sheep Shearer (WIP)

...I'm doubly sorry for this one, but I hope that the things that I've been working on in the background will help you forgive me. There's a lot of very exciting stuff going on, but things have made it kind of tricky to manage the deadlines that I'd otherwise have hit.

Which, you know, probably sounds like a lame excuse, partially because it probably is.

Anyway, this should be updated very soon (a day or two, basically), and by then hopefully I'll have some of that Super ...

Frigid Reception (WIP)

I know, I know, it's never something that you want to see, and I'm sorry that I have to do this. There's been a lot going on - a lot of good stuff, mind you! - but it's cut into time that I would've liked to use polishing up stories. This should be finished soon, but until then, hopefully this will whet your appetite:

It was... Well, it was barbarism! They scorned the world of sticks and stones, and thus it seemed barbarians thought it appropriate to make theirs one of pelts and bon...

Giving An Inch

Hey, everyone! There are a few posts tonight, and this is the first thereof! Descriptions will be fairly scarce, because I'm very tired, and I still have a good amount of work to do. This first story, however, is ready to read, and it's called "Giving An Inch!"

Miles is a mystographer, one of the brave souls that charts out newly-discovered dungeons. This one seems safe enough...but are appearances deceiving?

Santa Baby

Hey, everyone! Happy Holidays! Or, you know, Happy Post-Holidays Wrap-Up. Unwrap-Up? I don't know. Regardless, I hope that you all had smooth sailing through the perilous waters of gift-giving, gift-receiving, and family interactions. I know that things aren't really technically over until New Year's Day is up, but I guess this is the home stretch?

Anyway, this month's story (singular, I'm afraid) is decisively Christmas-themed. For those of you who aren't "in the know," the so...

Snake Eyes: A Body Shifters Story

Not gonna lie, I'm kind of hoping that some of you will be like "OH, WHOA, WHAT?" when you read this one. Hell, when you just read the title! If you know, you know. If you don't know, you're gonna find out, in part thanks to this updated description!

Chris has walked by the mysterious nightclub "Snake Eyes" nearly every day on his walk back from work. There's a risk that it's run by the mysterious shape-shifting organisms known as Body Shifters — known for feeding on huma...

Destress Signal

Updated the description! Hopefully this will shed some insight onto the piece. At the very least, it'll give you a little summary to whet your appetite!

Lucas Allen and Scott Midvale are halfway through a six-month mission for the Intergalactic Alliance of Planets when they receive a distress signal from a commune located on a small planetoid. Amara of Hestia-55 is the sole member of her group capable of operating the communication array; the rest of her community has been infected ...

Flashfic Frenzy!

Hey, everyone! Like I said, I've got a bit more for you tonight, and these two little tidbits are...

...Well, they're flashfics.

What's that mean? It means they were both (more or less) written in a half-hour each, or at least half-hour chunks. No thoughts, no plots, just sprinting to the juicy parts as fast as I possibly can! You shouldn't expect Tolstoy, but I nevertheless hope you enjoy them!

In the first flashfic tonight, a surly, cat-eared librarian finds himself fr...

Essence of Desire

The second of two stories tonight! Let's get to it with Essence of Desire!

Dungeons used to be the sort of place where heroes tested their skills in battle against ferocious foes. Now there's much more of an emphasis on feminine wiles, but that doesn't mean that the encounters in the Dream Den are a walk in the park! A young man is about to discover that firsthand!

Childhood Fiend

Hey, again! There's not much to say right now. In this specific moment. So I'll just post the story! This one's called Childhood Fiend.

Siegfried the hero has been chosen to do challenge the champion of Hell, and he's ready to play his part in the annual ritual to determine who will have free rein of the kingdoms of man. He's much stronger and much more experienced than he was as a novice adventurer, and there's no way he'd ever lose to some lowly imp like he used to! Unfor...

Sea-Kissed

Right now, I'm burning the midnight oil editing this piece. I've been trying to sprint through it so that I could get it posted without doing...this again, but I feel like the story would've come out sub-par if I did. I appreciate your patience immensely, and you can rest assured that it'll be ready very soon!

Chances are, you woke up in the morning and didn't even have to fret over this liminal bit.

As always, thank you for your support...and your patience, too.
