Dresden Files Crossover Snippet

One of these days, something was going to happen in Chicago and the White Council wouldn’t assume I was either the cause of it or knew who was. Apparently there was someone running around Chicago killing with magic, and thus breaking the First Law of Magic. The last time a wizard was using magic to kill people in town, he was using a demon to do the dirty work. But he was in jail, and was the first thing I checked when the local Warden, a sour old wizard named Morgan, came to deman...

Jumping at ROB's Behest: RWBY 1

I’d been subjected to falling at terminal velocity more than once in the six months I was an Animorph, so I quickly adapted and managed to orient myself so that I was facing the ground and caught sight of the bright green forest spread out below me. Step one: don’t go splat.

Concentrating, I focused on my favorite bird morph: a sharp-shinned hawk. Immediately, I began to shrink, as my face pushed out, my lips hardened into a beak, feathers erupted from my skin, my fingers merged tog...

Chimera Time 12

Chapter 12:

“So how was it?” Kori asked the next morning as I sat down with a mug of coffee and a pair of sweatpants.

“You want details, you’ll have to get those from Brit,” I chided as I started gulping down the morning dose of caffeine.

“From the lingering scent, I’d say they both had a good time,” Greer chimed in as she sat down with a… was that a quart jar of coffee?

A pitiable groan from the living room drew our attentio...

August's Personal Projects

The three top ranked results will be the three chapters I work on in the month of August, with a goal of at least 4000 words written for each.

Jumping At ROB's Behest (Jumpchain)

I sighed, staring at the crater caused by the crashing Pool Ship. Or rather, what was left of it. Still can't believe that the plan worked. The sound of feet on gravel made me turn, meeting the blank faced Rachel. Blonde, athletic, and even now without so much as a hair out of place or any sign of the sheer hell we’d been through.

"Jake?" I asked, even if I knew the answer. The fact that it was just her approaching told me everything I needed to know.

"Free," was all she said in...

Public Posting Question

How should I go about deciding when to post chapters for free on QQ?

Update

So I have decided on a few things going forwards. First off, I'm doing away with a hard schedule. With how unpredictable my schedule's been, along with the difficulty in arranging time to meet with my commissioners, it's just added pressure that doesn't amount to anything worthwhile being achieved.

Secondly: I'm going to limit myself to 3 personal projects per month. What those projects are, will be voted on by you, my patrons. I'm still deciding the exact details how how I'm going to ...

You Troll! 2

"Honey, I'm home!" I shouted as I entered the abandoned subway tunnel I'd claimed as my lair.

“Go choke on a sandpaper dildo!” Mitsuki shouted from where she sat on an old couch, her arms hugging the swell of her baby bump. She looked to be around four months along, despite only about five weeks having gone by. “It’s bad enough you knocked me up, would it kill you to get some lights in here?!”

Yeah, that last one was a fair point. Despite my best efforts, I hadn...

Prison Island (D&D/Pathfinder Snippet)

Aiden knew his muttering was going to get him killed one of these days. It had gotten him the belt from his father more than once, gotten the guard captain shouting at him a few dozen times, and then the Trade Prince heard his muttering. Two weeks later he was crammed into a ship’s too-small hold with at least a hundred other sods.

Three weeks of hard sailing had allowed him to figure out the common thread of everyone’s story: each of them had done some crime and found themselves st...

Co-Op Kingmaker 1 (WC Pathfinder: Kingmaker)

It was one thing looking at it through a computer screen, it was another to actually be standing in an Aldori mansion, no matter how powerful the computer or how good the graphics card. Computers just can’t duplicate the atmosphere of polished wood walls, the feel of thick rugs under your boots, the smell of a fire in the hearth, the deliciously toned booty on that barbarian.

“Where are they? This is taking forever!” said barbarian shouted, drawing attention to her and sparking sn...

Bear's Beauties: Existential Crisis 35

[center]<<Bear Sandosen>>[/center]

I’ll admit, I didn’t expect the conversation that followed when Bill burst into the library. After Fleur, Taylor and I got dressed and a quick clean up (via a few spells from Fleur), Bill pulled me aside and took me to a bar. Not the Leaky Cauldron or the ones in Hogsmeade, but a normal bar in Dublin. I was a bit surprised, but thinking about it for a moment made me realize that wizards had apparated longer distances from London to Scot...

Divide & Conquer 11

“I can’t believe you made a business call while screwing this delightful engineer,” Revy said with a grunt as she thrust into the near comatose, fuck drunk, and thoroughly creamed Tali.

“I had an idea and wanted to make sure I didn’t forget it,” I said in my defense as I basked in the sensation of lips and tongues along my cock. The orcish waifu and the draenei were both sucking along my length, while Storm suckled on the head. “Besides, consider how much better off our ab...

Return of a Pirate (Homebrew Starfinder Short)

The stars were like a breath of fresh air after nothing but stale, recycled air on a three month journey. How long had he been in there, dormant, all but sleeping? The power generator had long since run dry, so even when he used magic to bypass that issue, the systems couldn’t tell him how long it had been since his last check in.

Well, sort of. He had been dormant for ten revolutions of the nearest planet around the red dwarf. Leaning back in the surprisingly comfortable seat of the ...

The Stryx Spreads Its Wings (Original Superhero Short)

Damien flexed the gloves, testing the fit. They were originally a pair of rubber gloves, but now there were five flash drives with a cobbled together extension leading to the USB ports at the fingertips. Taking a deep breath, he reached out to the ones and zeroes that he could feel resting in the flash drives. The formerly dark room lit up a vibrant blue as claws shot out of the ports at his fingertips.

“Well, the board did say that most supers found powers fairly instinctual,” the ...

Blood in the Water (D&D Fantasy Short)

The nervous seaman looked over to his captain at the front of the boat, before cautiously asking the question that was at the forefront of his mind, "Cap'n, ya sure this is a good idea?"

Turning his head so that his steely gaze locked eyes with the question asker, index finger pointedly stroking the hilt of his sword. The lone blue eye, like chips of ice for all the warmth they held, stared into the mud colored eyes of the ship hand, the only other acknowledgement of his question being ...

Announcement - Posting Delay

Unfortunately, work and life in general last week were unusually busy, so I'm going to bite the bullet and just say that the next chapter will go live on regular time Monday the 9th. That will give me some time to try to get a backlog going again, so I don't have this happening again.

Terenta-Tech 5

"Name and Rank."

"Dooku, Count of Serrano and head of the Confederacy of Independent Systems."

"Step forward, follow Corporal Varnes to Medical for preliminary examination. Next!"

Padme couldn’t help but feel amusement at the man who’d been trying to kill her for weeks being shepherded along like the rest of the prisoners. For a brief moment, anyway. One by one, they were being led deeper into the warship. She still couldn’t believe it, she was standing on a warship th...

Dresden Files/SWTOR 3

“Morgan,” I greeted the Warden as he glowered at me. For fuck’s sake, I’d just gotten the White Council off my back, and their faithful dog was at my doorstep not even a week after I’d barely managed to prove my innocence. There wasn’t much I could do in the moment, so I invited Morgan inside, past my threshold (weak as it was), and asked, “I don’t suppose you have something you can tell me about him that he couldn’t?”

Morgan’s eyes narrowed as he stared m...

Divide & Conquer 10

Draugur

I didn’t bother keeping the satisfied grin off my face as the most well known and fapped over quarian in the multiverse slowly took her suit off piece by piece. Her face was mostly human looking, it had to be since her eyes and nose were visible through the visor, similar to asari now that I think about it. There were dermal plates on her head, reaching back almost like the petals of a flower, under which were dreadlock-looking tendril things like the...

Dresden Files/SWTOR 2

In hindsight, perhaps inviting an apparent Sith Lord into my home wasn’t exactly the best idea. But this was way beyond anything I’d ever heard of, so I needed to consult Bob, the closest thing I had to a magical encyclopedia. A Spirit of Logic and Reason bound to a skull, a few hundred years old, and about as sex-crazed as a hormone addled teen.

“Wake up, Bob,” I snapped as I all but raced down the stairs to my lab where Bob was kept. “I need your help on making an a...

Bear's Beauties: Existential Crisis 34

[center]<<Nymphadora “Don’t Call Me That” Tonks>>[/center]

“Yo, Rookie!”

I bit back a groan, knowing that Buckling’s voice never meant anything good. Still, I looked up from my desk covered in case files at the more senior auror, “Yes sir?”

“Need a report on the Macnair case, Minister Fudge’s taken a personal interest in it.”

It was difficult keeping my hair from shifting color, but I managed it, “I see. I’ve only just started on t...

Helluva Time 12

Where: Appalachian National Scenic Trail, Georgia, United States of America, Earth

When: 206 days to next Purge

Who: Collin, Employee of C.H.E.R.U.B.

Cletus had transported Mr. Lyle along with Keenie and I to one of the many national parks, before gesturing out to the glorious expanse, “Look around Lyle, God’s Gift of nature is a wonder to behold. Regardless of age, o...

I groaned as I came to, my head pounding like an entire herd of elephants was doing a four legged rendition of Riverdance inside it. Sitting up, I pinched the bridge of my nose before rubbing at my eyes. There was a medicinal smell that filled my nose, before a small hand took my free one and placed a warm cup in it....

Bear's Beauties: Existential Crisis 33

[Center]<<Bear Sandosen>>[/center]

It should have been weird, seeing Harley wearing a white, button up shirt with her hair in a bun instead of pigtails and a pair of reading glasses perched on her nose. Should have been.  But we’d been having these therapy sessions at least once a week since shortly after we’d met and Doctor Quinzel mode was as professional as Harley mode was playful. The office she’d secured on the Yamato for professional mode was pretty much as ...
