Tanya shivered as she rushed down the sidewalk, a hurried hitch in her step. The meerkat woman never acclimated to Midwestern weather, despite spending a majority of her life up north.
She pulled out her flip phone, grumbling to herself as she stared at a dead notification screen. Of course she forgot to charge it again. Not that it mattered. Once Vicki embroiled herself in one of her personal projects, nothing save the apocalypse would tear her away fro...

A haze surrounds the area; the intrepid group of explorers traverse the gaping maw of the chasm’s darkest crevices, its stalactites intentionally sharpened into the shape of deadly fangs. The smell of brimstone and charred flesh creates a miasma that makes your blood run cold. The smoke eventually parts, revealing what lies ahead; a veritable trove of glittering gems and glimmering gold. But the adventurers are not alone

Hey everyone! This will probably be a rehash of the last post, but I prefer being transparent over keeping silent.
Anyway, I have the first couple of parts of A Rodent of Unusual Size (and yes, that will be the title because I find that more exciting than an acronym) just about ready to go, with the third episode ready for proofreading, and the rest of the first major act outlined and ready to put to paper!
However, I also recognize I'm moving a bit slower ...

Sorry about the quiet as of late, but wanted to let everyone know I'm hard at work on the next serial which should start up next month, so payments should resume as normal. I do plan on throwing up a think piece or two in the coming weeks in preparation for what's to come.
Thank you again for being patient with me, and I promise to make this all worth the wait!

Well, *one* R.O.U.S. in particular, whether she wants to be or not. :)
I'm still in the preliminary stages for my next serial (because while I am still resting up from Dogs Chase Squirrels, you never really *stop* writing), which will feature a new character, a new setting, and hopefully a new challenge for me to dive into -- at my own pace.
Admittedly, the idea started with thinking about "Attack of the 50-Foot Woman" (ha ha, real original, I know), but then evo...

Hey, everyone! I'm still taking some downtime after finishing up the serial, and I'd feel bad about charging you all without something to show for it, so I've made the decision to freeze February's payment cycle. You shouldn't be charged for next month.
I'm slowly poking at some thoughts about what to do next, and when I have something I want to sink my teeth into, I'll let you all know. Expect payments to resume in March.
Thanks for being patient with me!

A whole year. Hard to believe Dogs Chase Squirrels started back in the beginning of 2020, when the world looked slightly more optimistic and less...well, like what we ended up with.
While not the largest project I’ve ever planned, Dogs Chase Squirrels is certainly the largest project I’ve seen to “completion”. (I use quotation marks here because this is, technically, still a draft.) It’s a story I’ve wanted to tell since in...

The cougar whistles at the rabbit waitress after she hands him and his friend -- a ferret -- their drinks. She looks away, flustered, trying to avoid eye contact as she beats a hasty retreat. The cougar grins as he watches her leave, staring at her cute ass and fluffy tail; all of it tucked away in a red Santa’s Helper costume, with the skirt cut just a bit too short. Over the noise of the music, the pair’s cat calls go unnoticed by the bouncers on the far end of the roo...

Thanks for your patience, everyone. Quick update to say that regular posts resume this Saturday!
My horror-themed A.I. story, Command, is finished and will be up for $5 supporters this Saturday, with access to $3 supporters the following week. Dogs Chase Squirrels resumes October 10th, and (hopefully) will need no further breaks until the finale. And I still have that yet-unreleased side story for a certain rat lady with legs for days ...

The road towards completing Dogs Chase Squirrels has been long and fraught with periods of struggle, but through a lot of perseverance, we’ve made it to the end of the second major act of the serial. This arc was a tough one, both for the cast and for myself, and as you’ve noticed, I’ve been taking more frequent breaks in order to recharge and get the creative juices flowing. I expected this to be the toughest part to work on, and it didn’t disappoint, whi...

The bar was unusually quiet tonight, especially for a Saturday, but he wasn’t complaining. More options, and less competition. The less he had to work to claim his prize, the better. Doubly so if he could get past first base.
The rat man (tall, grey and at least passably handsome) nursed his whiskey sours as he picked up on bits of conversations around him. His ears flicked as an argument -- definitely one-sided -- arose at the far end of the bar. A racco...

He heard all of the rumors growing up; a powerful witch that lived among the feral beasts, who conjured terrible potions and horrendous curses. He never believed those stories, not for a second.
Yet, here he was, staring at the trail that led deeper into the woods, his bushy tail flicking back and forth.
He didn’t tell anyone where he was going. His friends were too busy with the festival going on behind him stuffing themselves full of funnel cakes and popcorn, and h...

(Note: This short story was something I poked at during my down time from the serial. Originally, it was just supposed to be a wolf staring at the night sky, but with this being me, I decided to make it a little bit more than that.

Hey, folks. I think I'm hitting another burnout point with the serial, and with writing in general. I think it's best if I step away for a bit, clear my head.
There won't be a post this Saturday. If I feel that I'll need more time, I'll let you know. Thank you for being patient with me.

Author's Note: This particular episode is NSFW -- or at least more so than any other episode up to this point. Fair warning if you're sensitive to two cute and sexy girls having lesbian sex with one another! Although if you're read up to this point and it hasn't bothered you yet, then you're *probably* the right audience for this kind of stuff.
Anyway! Onto the episode!

Hello, everyone!
So, as you've noticed, I don't have a serial post for this week, and I do apologize. Again, I won't make excuses -- it's been a hard few weeks, and I did come across a bit of writer's block that slowed things down.
That being said, I think I've found my muse again (in more ways than one), and I've been tackling the next part in earnest, and am eagerly planning the next couple of episodes following that. No more delays -- next Saturday *will* have a po...

“Ugh. I hate flying.”
The buck grumbled quietly, scratching his nose in an effort to ignore the terrible itching around the base of his antlers -- their growth had only ramped up since spring began, and the velvety skin had yet to break around the protrusions, adding to his irritation. It didn’t help that his ears had yet to pop, giving him a dull headache to boot. “You’d think Greenwood would at least spring for business class.”

This week kicked my butt. I just completed training to assist a department that's getting overburdened with requests, which left my brain completely full two days ago, and with no energy to do anything whatsoever.
I was hoping to get She's a Big Deal ready tomorrow, but that has not happened, and I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. I'll aim for next Saturday, and push the next serial posting back to May 9th.

Hello, everyone. It’s been a crazy few weeks, hasn’t it?
Since it’s been a while since I’ve talked to you all directly, and because there is a lot happening right now (both inside and outside the life of pretending to be an ever-growing power vixen), I want to take an opportunity to touch base and let you know what’s going on. It’ll be mostly good news, I promise!

Forrester Library was busy tonight, much to Irene’s surprise.
The main foyer was small and quaint, with several portraits aligned on the wall, leading to a door a short distance away. Upon opening the door, the library opened up, extending around her in all directions, its open space adorned with bookshelves, filled to the brim with books old and new. In the center of the library on the first floor were two rows of tables placed end-to-end, extending off towards the ...

Irene could feel the wind nipping at her cheeks as she whizzed past a car going fifteen miles per hour slower than it should have been. Her arm reached out to flip the bird at the driver as she passed them by. Her moped was still a champ during the winter months, whether it was on surface or highway, and the last thing she needed was someone who didn’t know how to drive in clear conditions to slow her down.
She was still dressed in her work attire, deciding she’d rather ...

Frank’s eyes moved across the table towards each of his band mates, his demeanor that of a general commanding his troops -- except his troops seemed less than eager to participate in the battle at hand. And he was having none of it. Not today.

Her head was pounding. Light seared through her closed blinds, a stray beam hitting her directly in her eyes, making her headache worse.
Camelia groaned quietly as she turned over on her back, blindly reaching to retrieve her glasses from atop her nightstand, only to find nothing sitting on top of it.
“Odd, I always keep my glasses there,” she muttered to herself. “Where could they --”
Oh.
“That was my favorite pair of glasses.”

So, unfortunately, looking at where I am at with the next part for the serial, I'm not quite sure I'll be able to have it ready in time.
That's because...my birthday is coming up! I turn 35 on Friday, and I'd love to spend some time with friends and family, and treating myself over the weekend. Given what still needs to be done to get the next part finished (and the copious amounts of alcohol I'll have consumed), releasing a half-finished product wouldn't be fair to you all....

Camelia sat down at her desk, her eyes falling back to the stack of papers still left neglected from earlier. She flipped through the small stack with her finger, letting out a quiet sigh. She tried her best not to let the mundanity of her position get to her, but every once in a while, even she felt a tinge of ennui whenever she found herself staring at a pile of paper that demanded her attention.
As she stared at the pages in front of her, her mind couldn’t help but wand...
