Enjoy, Patrons!
Thank you for your generosity and support while I produced this work.
It's been a great journey and I've been glad to see so much patronage, especially from Christopher, who has been with me for the whole year.
Cheers,
Xavier.
P.S. You'll have to let me know how the Kindle format looks, since I can't see it myself. Please consider it a Beta :-)
2019-10-01 10:34:51 +0000 UTC View PostYou should shortly receive a copy of the e-book in your inbox, assuming Patreon shows your donation amount as $3 or more.
As people cross that threshold, I'll send out a new round of emails.
I'm not sure what I'll do going forward. I could switch the account over to one of those "pay up front" type accounts, so that I can make the e-book available in the $3 tier without me having to monitor the donation list. But I also know that's a sensitive issue and I'm not sure of...
2019-10-01 02:33:51 +0000 UTC View PostYou've all got three days to guess where it fits in.
I will give the following hints:
a) it's ridiculous
b) it fits inside the present story (not before nor after)
c) there's room for it without ret-conning anything
Cheers,
Xavier.
2019-09-28 17:29:46 +0000 UTC View PostI'm thinking this might be the best way to distribute the e-book.
Patreon isn't really set up for "everyone who has ever given at least three dollars" can have certain access. It only works in Tiers. So, unless we can come up with a better way to distribute the e-book with its bits of bonus material, I'll release it on Oct 1 in the "Keeper" Tier.
Cheers,
Xavier.
P.S. For this first book, I will still honour my promise to send the e-book to anyone who has hi...
2019-09-28 17:18:21 +0000 UTC View PostI set out, when writing this story, with two major goals (besides, you know, making an erotic, funny story about spanking).
1. Use the term vulva correctly in erotic fiction (19 times!)
2. Focus on consent
This whole thing takes place in a tiny world where three people understand consent, where they trust each other, and consequently feel more free to explore their kinks. Anyone who is seriously into the BDSM world will tell you that consent comes before everything. 2019-09-25 01:40:42 +0000 UTC View Post
- Bailey's journal
- Bonus chapter (neither sequel nor prequel, but rather an interregnum)
- Clothing lists and other tables
I have a lot of stuff in a background file, but it's mostly useless notes and random thoughts, even things I didn't use.
2019-09-22 22:38:11 +0000 UTC View PostAll good things, my friends, must come to an end.
Bailey counts down the last of her debt and she and Kent must come to terms with the third member of their trio.
2019-09-17 02:31:08 +0000 UTC View Post
Glad to see this chapter is being taken so well.
2019-09-03 01:27:43 +0000 UTC View PostAs mentioned before, thanks to the patronage of everyone here, I have a license for Scrivener and can publish my work.
My intention is to use Scrivener to produce Two Hundred Dollars as an e-book. I'll release it through Patreon to any of my Patrons who have donated above a certain level (probably about three dollars, I'm not super greedy or anything.)
The e-book will have a bonus chapter, an appendix of Bailey's note book and a few other things from the notes an...
2019-08-27 14:19:38 +0000 UTC View PostAt long last.
This one felt about double length and, as we're getting close to the end, Bae and I spent a lot of time going over to make sure it all clicked nicely.
We're running the debt almost down to zero, Kent meets Laura's parents, a new game is introduced and, my god, a lot of spanking.
2019-08-27 04:17:12 +0000 UTC View PostSeriously.
It's just twice as long as all the other chapters, and a lot happens.
I haven't forgotten. I'm still working on it.
Cheers,
Xavier.
2019-08-19 20:43:40 +0000 UTC View PostLaura and Bailey, caught in a lie, are required to do something special together, by way of apology.
After that, it becomes a question of competition in terms of, shall we say, 'exposure'.
2019-07-28 13:25:27 +0000 UTC View PostBailey wants to find a method of payment with a lot less spanking involved, but she won't cross certain lines.
Kent has a proposal.
Also: Deception! Oh noes!
2019-07-12 22:06:18 +0000 UTC View PostIf you've ever wondered, "How does he keep track of all this crap?"
It's a lot of tables in LibreOffice, to be honest, otherwise I'd be toast.
Maybe you can all read this one.
Bailey, bereft of Laura, begins her mad rush for the end.
(Version 2, with the correct statement of debt at the end. Thanks, Mark!)
2019-06-29 12:46:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe next step in my fictional career should lay somewhere in the slightly more professional publishing realm.
To that end, with your contributions, I've acquired a copy of Scrivener and am learning how to use it. It looks pretty powerful for editing and keeping tracking of characters. This will be way, way handier in Talla's Temple.
(Admittedly, keeping track of Bailey and Laura is pretty complex, but there are just 3 people in this story, so all I worry about is count...
2019-06-14 01:40:59 +0000 UTC View PostWherein the characters adopt a fascination with photography and the artistic side of nudity and spanking.
The question is, how close to prostitution is it to sell pictures of your naked body? Is it closer or farther away than spanking your debt away?
Time will tell.
Also, a treatise on the subject of good and bad, good and evil, good and crappy.
2019-06-14 01:36:47 +0000 UTC View PostAnd Laura wakes up with a boy in her bed.
We find out how that works out for her and her apron.
2019-05-29 00:28:20 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 23 is in the final proofreading stage.
Sorry for the delay but we've been dealing with a lot of stuff here lately.
I should have it posted tomorrow.

In which cupcakes are baked and an evening at Laura's is completed.
2019-05-11 01:44:01 +0000 UTC View PostIn which every wishes Bailey hadn't done the thing she did, but she kind of had to, because Reasons.
(This one took a while longer in proofreading on account of its length.)
2019-04-19 03:56:11 +0000 UTC View PostIn which Bailey is deeply concerned about her inability to remove her clothes and takes measures to move herself along.
This time around, with certain debts resolved and feelings cleared up - to an extent - the girls feel a bit more free to give flight to their own sense of generosity.
In which there is a degree of nervous exhibition and plans are laid for the next step in Laura's adventure.
2019-02-27 01:25:18 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I just hit two milestones, really.
1. 20 Patrons.
Thanks for your support. It really means something that my work is worth your donation.
2. I hit the minimum amount of money in the account to make a withdrawal worthwhile. I could actually use the money to do something.

2019-02-17 14:22:40 +0000 UTC View PostHey, did you notice it's an acronym now?
That's right. You're all fans of THD, right?
In Chapter 17, we have a little scene with Laura by herself, and Bailey sets a new goal with regards to paying off her debt. It's going to mean pushing herself a little harder, but that's how goals work. To get there sooner, she proposes a new deal to get to an old spankings per dollar ratio.
2019-02-17 14:18:08 +0000 UTC View PostI got some feedback from a couple of readers (it means a lot when two of you agree on something) that I overdid the "preacher voice" inside Laura's head. Especially with the bolded text and the repetitive nature of his imprecations.
In the future, I'll clean that up, although this voice in her head doesn't show up in 16, I have to be careful to get her inner demons out where we can see them without letting it tangle up the whole story.
Chapter 16 is here, taking off from where the chapter in which Laura had spanked Bailey.
It looks like the round trip approval time on Literotica has hit 11 days, so my patrons are getting a good head start on the good stuff.
Cheers,
Xav.
2019-02-06 22:46:54 +0000 UTC View PostThis chapter is the first one in which we see the inside of Laura's head.
We get to hear her internal dialogue (not monologue... dialogue) and get a bit of her background and her motivations. We find out how she got to the point where she wrote "$2" on Kent's white board and exactly what she meant to happen from that point on.
Not that anything ever works out the way the people plan it. Life's just not like that.
Enjoy!
2019-01-25 03:27:58 +0000 UTC View PostJust a head's up.
We're finally going to take a look inside Laura's head and see what's going on in there.
I've never tried to right a semi-rehash chapter with a different point of view, and since it overlaps with the end of Chapter 14, I basically had to hold up 14 until I was sure it lined up with 15.
I'll probably post it tonight.
