Next Bonus Chapter

Hoping to keep the next bonus under ten thousand words, but sometimes ideas have a way of getting away from you in their word counts. Four of our five options are decent setups for our Waifu-tier characters: Foxy of fucking Loxly, Melanie "Melaneko" Campbell, Jordyn "Synn" Wells, and Fletcher.

Holding a position in Waifu-tier, but yet to submit a character are: alethiophile, andy may phan, Luke Mofford, and venef. If you're interested in submitting a ...

RE: Trailer Trash pt 4

/// Wait. Haven't we already been done this? To be honest, I was always extremely unsatisfied with the way I wrote out the summer sections here. Felt like I was glossing over a lot of interesting things that I really want to explore in my rush to get to other parts of the story. So, I'm doing this again, and doing it right.

Bonus Chapters

As someone perpetually on the edge of poverty, I naturally want to give readers great incentive to support me. At the same time, it still seems a little despicable to hide content behind a paywall from readers who love the story but simply can't afford to send money.

So far, my Patreon page has basically acted as a tip jar, as everything on it's been pretty much public to read and free for all. As much as having exclusive content seems like the very best incentive to offer... it also me...

Yee McBear Cover Art

   I found Yee through our AHE character artist Zaph, and hired her on to do background crowds as her art style is pretty compatible with Zaph's. In-between one of her bg illustrations I tasked her with drawing us up a RE:TT cover! She sent us three test sketches to choose from, and the middle option there won the reader View Post

Progress report and future plans!

Since I started living exclusively off of Patreon income here last August, I've updated with eight teasers every month. For comparison, my monthly average before then on Patreon (from July '17 to July '18) was three teaser updates per month, with my record being eight (that awesome Christmas break I extended with my vacation days). Quite a few months had no story updates at all (I was otherwise working full time).

My general metric for a teaser is roughly two thousand words, an...

Opportunity Struck in Proofreading

I've reached the editing stage where I know there's still issues, but am having trouble identifying solutions. Rather than trying to puzzle them out alone for another few months, I'm opening up to final proofreading.

AnimeCon Harem Bonus: The Cosplay Contest

   “Welcome, everyone, to the main event—the AnimeCon cosplay contest! We have a great turnout of cosplayers this year, and I hope everyone’s excited to see them! First in our lineup for this evening is Sarah Star, and she’s cosplaying the Vampire Princess Marcilla, from Magi Hunter!” With a subtle fade-in, the haunting organ melody of Marcilla’s theme music began to play.

   Although more than a little miffed that she hadn’t been introduced a...

Stephanie & Kelly WIP (Oct)

The other, other bonus project, neglected for too long. I dream of one day having a little bit of story art for each chapter. Cleaned up a bajillion lines and adjusted quite a bit, I've been aiming at a 'Kelly's lifting up the back of Steph's dress' sorta thing. I'm just caught up right now in dozens of redraws of the dress hem and their hands. Hoping to make time in my writing update queue to do one 'drawn' teaser a month, for variety's sake.

RE: Trailer Trash 6, First day at Springton High.

   Tabitha Moore didn’t remember what it was like stepping onto the bus for the first day of high school in her past life—because nothing had happened back then. She’d been greeted with indifference and summarily ignored, never given a second glance. As she climbed up the steps within the large yellow school bus at the end of her neighborhood and first laid eyes on the rows of high schoolers seated there... she realized that everything about this life was destined now to ...

   “Congratulations,” Jordyn grinned at the guys.

AnimeCon Harem 6: Guardian Angel

Emily hadn’t been in an immediate rush to find Brian—even if that jerk wasn’t answering her texts. Confident she knew exactly where he was supposed to be at noon—the Hero Hero Haruki meetup—she’d gone over her hair and make-up, double-checking everything, conscious now more than ever of the way she would look to him. The impromptu run earlier had put her out of sorts, but now she was more or less presentable, as ready as she would ever be.

I look… cute, she gave...

RE: Trailer Trash 5, The trials of summer.

  As the pounds steadily disappeared, Tabitha found that everything was becoming easier. What began in her first days as a walk became a slow jog, and then a run. By now, her daily run was laced with sprints to get her heart rate up, and even that didn’t feel like enough. Holes had worn into the crease of her sneakers where they bent with her step, and she had to superglue the soles several times as they were starting to peel off.

AnimeCon Harem 6: Playing Decoy

Stephanie was sitting in Brian’s lap in the middle of a packed panel room at the convention, and someone had set her on fire. She was burning with desire from the top of her sex-addled head all the way down to her toes, flames curling with delight as she felt Brian plant the first of a series of slow, savory kisses along her neck. Roiling pink heat seemed to blaze from every inch of her body as though she’d been doused with gasoline arousal, but no one around her seemed to notice. It was su...

AnimeCon Harem 1: Gijinka Training

Outta luck after all, huh. Raven locks of hair swept down over one of the scene girl’s eyes, and Kelly blew that fringe of her bangs up with an annoyed puff of her lip. Fuck.

She resentfully kicked at one of the discarded pamphlets littering the main lobby as she surveyed the aftermath of AnimeCon’s first day. The skylights had long since fallen dark and the tempestuous sea of convention attendees, once hundreds thick, had since dwindled down to bare dregs. Scattered...

AnimeCon Harem 6: Playing Coy

It was just after noon when Brian arrived back in AnimeCon’s main lobby for the Hero Hero Haruki cosplay group meetup. Despite the months of time he’d invested in making his Darkmask costume, however, Brian couldn’t stop thinking about Stephanie, and even Kelly. It was pretty common to get separated from your group in the chaos of an anime convention, but both of them knew where he was supposed to be at twelve o’clock. Although he’d gotten a little sidetracked leaving his phone ...

AnimeCon Harem Bonus: Auditions

   “Okay, I think that’s all we need to see. Next,” Foxy commanded, drumming his fingertips across the legal pad on the table out of boredom. The Perseus cosplayer from Dice Duelists who’d been standing in front of them at the judge’s table nodded and shuffled off in dejection.

    A faint smile played across Foxy’s handsomely arrogant face. This year he’d gone from being the local Mana: the Mastery pariah to one of the esteemed ...

AnimeCon Harem 1: Flight from the Poisoned Oasis

The last strips of daylight crawled up the high-rise hotels as the sun sank beneath the silhouette of the distant cityscape, painting the horizon brilliant shades of orange and pink. The downtown area surrounding the convention center had become a gala of convention-goers and cosplayers as they trickled out from beneath the gigantic AnimeCon banner and spread through the streets to seek out restaurants or the comfort of their nearby hotel rooms.

“What do I say to him, though?” Emily groaned in frustration, struggling to keep up with Rebecca’s longer stride. The pair were now journeying on foot across the walkways and pedestrian thoroughfares of the city—they would be at AnimeCon soon, and even after two hours of discussing it, Emily still had no clue what she was going to do.

“Sarah, that goth bitch over there is totally casing you,” Qin Wanwan muttered in a catty voice, leaning in close.

Short Chapter Form

I know, I know. We just went through the short chapter versus long chapter format debate. I'm personally in the long chapter camp; I'm a fast reader, and I prefer having a whole bunch of story consolidated together so I can just read it all at once. However, my girlfriend again pointed out her views in the short chapter camp; she only puts a bookmark in if she's at a chapter break, and she gets frustrated if a chapter runs on too long, somewhat like not having a save point in a game, I suppos...

Bonus Content Integration?

I've been putting a fair amount of thought into how to make the bonus content stuff as simple and straightforward as possible, and it boils down to two options for us. Either way, the bonus content would be exclusive to Patreon.

The chapters are in one place to read, and the bonus content in another. Pros: Makes the bonus material easily accessible to those who've already read all the AnimeCon Harem chapters on another site.

Cons: Makes thi...

“Hey, s’your foot actually on the gas, Rebecca? Or... are we just idling forward?” Emily grumbled, rhythmically tapping the armrest of her friend's station wagon in irritation. “‘Cause we’re movin’ a little slow.”

“Really?” Rebecca asked sleepily, squinting through her unruly tangle of auburn curls. “No one's going faster than us, though.”

“Maybe 'cause they're all stuck behind us? Like, right behind us. That huge line of cars breathing down our exhaust pipe....

AnimeCon Harem 1: Painting the Roses Pink

By late afternoon on Friday, Animecon was simmering with excitement, a soup of colorful costumes and eager, chattering geeks. Pockets of empty space opened and closed in the packed multitude of people like bubbles on boiling broth as cosplayers were stopped for impromptu photo-shoots. Incredibly large, elaborate costumes towered over the press of people, and there were entire groups of cosplayers representing large casts from different animes. Intricately detailed monsters, gorgeous couples i...

RE: Trailer Trash 4, Finishing middle school.

  Laurel Middle School was a sprawling relic primarily made up of old-fashioned portables; small rooms hauled into place and assembled into what should have been temporary classrooms. All of the older, outdated structures, aside from the cafeteria, auditorium, and administrative buildings had been razed to make way for new middle school facilities, which were tied up in state funding and never seemed to appear.
