Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 28

“Hello? Helloooooo?” Amara called out, doing her best to call as loudly as she could. Despite the complete absence of, well, everything, the sound of her voice didn’t seem to carry very far. She was currently on the campus quad and knew from experience that the surrounding buildings normally amplified louder sounds, but no such thing happened now.

Growing nervous, she manifested her true form just in case. A strong red tail, massive red wings with black spines, and dark horns atop...

October 2024 Update

Whew, what a month September was! I did a LOT of writing, and managed to finish Book Two of Suddenly A Succubus while also keeping up with my regular releases of Blood & Chlorophyll.

Speaking of Suddenly A Succubus, I was absolutely floored by how well the ending of Book Two was received. I had a feeling it would do well, but I never imagined the reception it ended up getting. Chapter 26 spent a whole day as the highest rated story on all of Literotica, and is now comfortably sitti...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 09 - Reflection

This was a tough one, wasn't it?

I'll admit, I wasn't fully prepared for just how grim this chapter was. It sort of came up naturally when I looked at the context. I've spent the entire book so far stressing that Katrina can't survive on pig's blood, but she's also clearly alive and well four years after the Change. She has a lot of pent-up trauma, is scared to be close to people, and seems intensely aware of what might happen if she loses control.

So, all things considered, there...

Rough Draft - Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 10

“—and, with the rations, I was finally able to settle down. Each day was no longer a battle to survive, but after a year and a half of hunting, I had no idea who I was anymore.”

Both girls were sitting on the couch, holding each other’s hands. Alicia had her legs pulled up underneath her, and had quietly listened as Katrina shared what her Change had been like. She’d wanted so badly to speak up, to try and offer comfort, but she could tell how hard it was for Katrina to recoun...

Katrina’s phone buzzed on her pillowcase, falling to the floor with a heavy thud. Looking over to it, she groaned in frustration, but didn’t bother picking it up at the moment; she was far too distracted trying to wrangle her ha...

Suddenly A Succubus Ch. 27 - Reflection

Hey! I wrote two whole books! What a wild place to be in, picturing the ending of Book Two all those months ago, and then finally having everything click together. Chapter 26 even spent a whole day at the top of Literotica's charts (Literally, Number One of any chapter across the entire site), and now it's settled comfortably into Number Two. I've said this before, but thank you to everything reading this. Your support means the world, and I'm so happy to have found so many people that enjoy ...

Quick, Crazy Update

Alright, I'm sorry for the clickbait title but I couldn't for the life of me think of what to title this post.

ANYWAYS Y'ALL WANT TO HEAR SOMETHING CRAZY??

As of right now, on Literotica, Suddenly A Succubus Chapter 26 is the highest rated Chapter on THE ENTIRE SITE.

NUMBER ONE.

This is absolutely bonkers and I can't get over how insanely surreal this is. I knew people would like this Chapter, but not this much!

So, I wanted to take this opportunity to th...

The underground complex was eerily quiet. Just a few minutes earlier, the hallways had been filled with the sounds of fighting, hellfire explosions and collapsing portals. Now, Amara led the search through the myriad hallways, trying to retrace her steps back to the room she’d originally been summoned to.

“I know it’s around here somewhere, just gimme a sec,” Amara said.

“How do you not remember?” Tessa asked. “It was like, half an hour ago!”

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 08 - Reflection

So, you may be shocked to hear this, but I actually released two chapters last Friday! I have a sneaking suspicion that this chapter got a little overshadowed by the huge, bombastic finale of SaS Book Two, but I really don't mind. I like sticking to a schedule, and I didn't want to delay B&C just because I was hastening the last few chapters of SaS.

This Chapter is really special, though. I got to share a lot of really cool pieces, and I think something cool happens at...

Oh boy, here we go. Chapter 26, the last chapter of Book Two, and the longest chapter I've ever written. It's longer than chapters 24 & 25 put together! Unlike last time, however, the length of this chapter was always part of the plan. There were so many plot elements floating around, and I knew I wanted to give myself plenty of time to explore all of them.

Before I start rambling, which I know I'm prone to doing in these Reflection pieces, let's start tackling everything in chronol...

(V2) I've added more to the opening scene, giving us more time to explore the immediate aftermath of the ritual. I still montage through the week of media coverage, as that's pretty much inevitable, but I think this gives a little more connective tissue between last book and this one. I added a few extra lines at the start of the scene where Tessa and Amara are hooking up, as well.

Let me know what you think, using the usual (V2) denotation!

Alicia nervously paced back and forth in her room, the space filled with the vibrant oranges of the setting sun. A pile of clothes sat in the corner, remnants of her pre-Change body, and the pile was growing larger with each passing minute. A full-length mirror hung from the closet doors, and she walked past it to grab another dress. She held it to her body, looking in the mirror, and scowled in dissatisfaction. Another addition to the pile.

So, although I've told this story in a couple other posts, I'm going to tell it again here. Maybe some of you missed it, but also, maybe new people will come in later! They probably aren't going to read the various update posts, but they're more likely to read these Reflection pieces. Hi future people!

Anyways, originally, this book was only going to be twelve chapters, with 25 being the last. I wrote around Chapter 24, and it was a little longer than usual, but it wasn't terrible. Then...

Earlier that day


Amara’s vision was blurred, the edges of her world tinted with blood and anger. The fight against the possessed cultists had been going well, in her opinion, until multiple spears of Enochian energy had lodged themselves in her back. Now, as she leaned on Tessa to try and escape the cult’s headquarters, it was taking all of her strength to stay lucid.

“That will buy us some time, we need to move!” Vee shouted.

This was an interesting Chapter to write. Initially, it was supposed to be the penultimate chapter, and my first draft had over twelve thousand words. So what happened? Why did the original Chapter 24 get split into two chapters, now being Chapters 24 AND 25?

Well, last week, I was writing up a storm. I had some really productive days, which I really needed; I was away at a wedding all weekend, and didn't have Friday to finish up my writing like I normally do. Anyways, I finished the c...

Blood & Chlorophyll Ch. 07 - Reflection

It was honestly quite refreshing to write this chapter. The last few chapters were a bit tense, and quite busy, so it was great to have a chance to slow things down again. I've often said I love depicting downtime, and boy am I doing that here. I still laugh at the fact that, essentially, this first scene with Alicia boils down to "She surfs the net for a bit and then masturbates". I thought it was important to check in with Alicia after last night, with how chaotic everything was at the Dung...

September 2024 Update

Wow, it's September already. Where is the year going? Time for another quick roundup of all things Nyx, so here we go!

First off, I want to apologize that Tessa Ch. 02 isn't out yet. I ended up with slightly more work than expected with the end of SaS Book Two. I was actually doing a bunch of work on Tessa's story last week, and realized that I needed a timeline of all the events in SaS so I could avoid continuity snags. I took all the events of SaS Books One and Two, as well as all my ...

The next morning, after barely managing to get any sleep, Amara joined up with Nick at his apartment before classes began. She collapsed on his bed, eager to vent about how poorly last night had gone, before sharing every detail she could remember. Best case scenario, he might notice something she didn’t about the scene, and worst case, she got to vent to him about how frustrated she was.

The whole opening scene of this chapter is a great example of the quieter, more slice-of-life style content that comes naturally when I'm trying to flesh out my chapters. My initial outline didn't have this section, didn't have the sex scene with Nick, didn't have Amara giving Chloé a half-truth about her and Nick. I'm extremely happy with this whole section, I think it gives us a great look into Amara's thought process now that she's tentatively maybe working things out with Vee.
