January 2022 Updates

Thank you all very much, my generous supporters. As we begin a new year, I’m starting fresh on a number of things. I’ve finally caught up with most of my commitments, but there are a few things I have to finish up, still, which will be at the top of my list this month. I remain genuinely grateful for all of your support, no matter how much or in what way you support me. You keep me writing, even when I’m feeling a bit worn out from everything. I hope to keep on writing for you, through ...

Baskets (Commission)

Here’s an AR commission for Toddles101. Enjoy!

Todd was drunk and planning on getting drunker. At the moment, he had something to say to his cheerleader girlfriend.

“You see,” he shouted into her ear, in order to be heard over the noise of the party. “Cheerleading isn’t a real sport. There’s no league for it, even if you get trophies.”

Brittany nodded and fr...

Two (Commission) - Chapter 7 - Split

An alternate ending for Two, this time splitting the candles between Greyson and Ethan.

Greyson dreamt of Ethan. In the dream, Greyson was a boy again, about nine years old, and his mother had just returned from the hospital with his new brother. The baby seemed so tiny, so delicate. Greyson refused the first time they offered him a chance to hold his little brother in his arms. He was scared that he might drop him or hold him the wrong way. Eventually, they caught him sitting ...

See the following list to find out what I will be writing next. Also, check out the winner of the Next Story Idea Poll for December.

Sweet Celia: New Flavors (Commission)

Commissioned by randomguy93.

Chapter 4

At the bus stop, Tom stood wearing a backpack, waiting for a big yellow school bus to arrive to take him to his old middle school. He sighed, still struggling to believe this was what his life had become. Quietly, he cursed Celia for ruining his life this way. Just days ago he had been an adult with a job and a life. Now, he was ...

Sweet Celia: Candy Addict (Commission)

Commissioned by randomguy93.

Chapter 3

Tom looked at the peppermint candies in his palm. His mouth watered. He nearly popped both into his mouth, but he managed to summon up enough willpower to grab his own wrist with his other hand. In the struggle that followed between his common sense and his new candy addiction, he dropped the candies on the crushed gravel path. 2021-11-18 19:26:26 +0000 UTC View Post

Wandplay

They found the wand at a garage sale and bought it for $4.99. It was sitting in an old trunk from who-knows-where, and the person selling it knew nothing about it. Tracy thought it might be a fun addition to her cosplay. Her boyfriend, Dan, was happy to buy it for her along with some vintage clothes.

It was only after Tracey pieced together a movie witch costume that they discovered the wand was real. Dan was being sort of a dick about something, so Tracey thought it might be fun to cur...

November 2021 Updates

My generous supporters, thank you! Thank you so much! Recently, I have seen a lot of records broken for numbers of supporters and the amount of support they are giving. It’s overwhelming, literally.

This incredible support has made me rethink a lot of what I’m doing, with commissions in particular. In the past month or two I have been experimenting with new ways to take commissions, including increasing the upper tiers of support here. Ultimately, I found myself too...

Teen Witch: Familiar

Halloween had officially begun at sunset. Kevin walked the sidewalks of the subdivision, wearing his zombie makeup, wanting to trick-or-treat but knowing he probably should not. Costumed kids ran past him to collect their candy. He wanted to join them, but at thirteen, he knew that he was most likely too old for it. Middle school was nearly over for him, and this was yet another bit of childhood to let go, his last Halloween.

At the very least, Kevin had a costume party to go to, althou...

Sweet Celia: Sweet Tooth (Commission)

Commissioned by randomguy93.

Chapter 2

Minutes later, Tom was outside following Celia to a nearby nature trail that circled a duck pond. Once they were in the relative privacy of that wild place, he started asking questions.

“You did this to me,” he said, walking next to her. “Didn’t you? It was the candy cane.”

Celia nodded with a proud smile. A...

Escape from the Nursery Planet (Commission) - Chapter 3

The scene in the ship’s hallways was not much different from what Stephen and Vicky had witnessed in the classroom. Some crew members seemed perfectly normal, hurrying around the ship to deal with the new damage caused by the most recent waves. Then, there was the occasional child that hurried by, some of whom seemed focused on an important task. Others wandered around looking lost, confused. A few even giggled and played with each other, racing around in a game of tag, as the beleaguered s...

October 2021 Updates

My generous supporters, welcome back for another month. Last month was pretty successful as far as completing stories goes. There have been some setbacks along the way, but I feel that I’ve got things organized in a good way now. Barring more interruptions in my personal life, I feel that I should be able to get through most of the list below this month. First priority will go to commissions that I owe to a number of patient people. After that, I will work on stories from the polls. See my ...

Years for Sale - Chapter 3

It's back. Thank you for your patience, and thanks for the commission, adobeman10.

Lying on her bed the next morning, Caroline heard her phone buzz, but she ignored it. No doubt it was a text message, and she knew from whom, which was reason enough to leave it alone. In the clear light of the morning, she had made up her mind to do the sensible thing. There would be no more babysitti...

Sweet Celia: Good Neighbors (Commission)

Here's a quick one. Chapter 1 of a new commission series for randomguy93. Esme of "Teen Witch" has a big sister, who has a passion for sweets. Now, if only the man she wants was young enough for her...

Tom slowed his jog to a walk when he noticed the girl sitting on the porch swing. Her piercing sky blue eyes followed him as he approached, wavy dark hair framing the sides of her pal...

Just Like What Mom Used to Make

He recalled the delicious aroma before he even knew what he was smelling. Some dusty old memory emerged from the dark corners of his half-forgotten childhood. A meal... His mother... With old age approaching, he had already given up those experiences for lost. But, this scent… His mouth watered.

Following his nose, he turned a corner and discovered a restaurant he had never noticed before. It was located at the base of a narrow building with a pair of windows flanking the door. Veneti...

Warp My Mind

(Hypnosis Story)

Scott told Tiffany, “Watch your head,” as she followed him down into the basement.

Anyone who looked at the two of them could tell their social roles by their clothes. He was a nerd. She was a cheerleader, and a tall blonde one at that. An odd pair to be seen together.

Tiffany ducked under a low beam and asked him, “What do you have down here?”

“Something I want to show you,” Scott vaguely explained. “Don’t you want to know wha...

September 2021 Updates

My generous supporters, thanks for staying with me. Last month I was fighting off some serious burn out that I did not notice until I was deep into it. Life was very stressful. So many projects are sitting half-done right now. Additionally, I realized that I was publishing too many chapter stories and continuations. I really need to put out more short one-offs. The good news is that I will be able to publish quite a few things this month if I manage to finish what I have already started. See ...

Two (Commission) - Chapter 7 - James

An alternate two candle ending for Two, this time involving James with the candles.

Greyson dreamt of James. He was an adult again, sharing a drink with James in the bar as they chatted and laughed together, but there was no sound, just the image of his friend and himself enjoying each other’s company. They had known each other for so long, and more than anything else about his current situation, Greyson regretted never expressing his feelings to his old friend back when they...

Next Story Idea Poll - September 2021

Escape from the Nursery Planet (Commission) - Chapter 2

Stephen and Kelly took turns in the shower. Stephen went first, and as he dressed in his grey clothes, Kelly took her time cleaning up. Apparently, she felt particularly dirty. Then, wearing a towel wrapped around her chest and hips, she gathered up her uniform and took it with her back into the bathroom to put it on in private.

They had a quick snack, and drank plenty of water, trying to get over their hangovers. Neither of them spoke as they ate. Then, they left to track down the scie...
