Stripper With a System 10-14
It's here! On time, despite the snap poll ;-). For those only sorta paying attention, I shut that poll down early morning on the 7th, and the winner (Kara) only ended up showing up at the tail end of this update. So it worked out that I didn't need any sort of delay to get this out on time. At full length too, coming in at just over 15k.
I'm mostly happy with the results. There was a little bit too much time spent in characters' heads or doing exposition for me to be happy wit...

Alright, folks, gather around! Originally, I thought I was going to put off the next 'Help' summons in Stripper With a System until after this upcoming release. I'm around 4,000 words into it now, though, and it's becoming pretty obvious that I might want to push forward with getting them some more 'Help' before the end of the update. Maybe. I might have enough to cover to chew up the additional 11,000 words. I mean, I could always throw in a lemon to pad t...

Alright! First, I rarely post twice in a single day, and I don't want you to miss the Halfway Broken release. So, you know, don't do that :-p.
With that out of the way, I finally got the results of the belated story poll for this month tabulated. That was a headache and a half, since I accidentally left it wide open to all tiers for a couple of hours and had to weed out a lot of votes that shouldn't have be...

Well, since this is already done and its the weekend, I don't see any reason not to put it up this morning, so it can help people enjoy nice lazy day ;-). Or a frantic and hectic one, if that's what your Sunday looks like!
I'm quite pleased with this release. I must have been in a bit of a creative slump when I wrote the arrival to Weatheria, and the post where I complained about how little was known. While that is frustrating, I normally am pretty good (I like to think) at ext...

Alright! Time for the Displaced Hero Release of the month. Though, a quick alert for those that weren't paying attention yesterday...I put the Feb Story Poll up very late. I also screwed up and it was open to everyone for a few hours, so I'm going to have to filter out a lot of votes when it finishes T-T. Don't trust that the apparent leaders are actually the apparent leaders, I have no id...

Alright! Second half of One Piece: Halfway Broken for the month! In this case, unusually, it's the slightly smaller half. That's entirely because the release on the 1st was around 8,500 words. Meaning that, even with this one only being around 7,500, we're still hitting 16,000 for the month. So, in total, actually on the larger side.
Anyway, these chapters feature a first date for Vivi, some interesting (I hope) bit interaction with King Cobra, more training, and their arrival at Weathe...

Behold! The new release of Why Was There No Truck?! is here! Just over 15,000 words of new, hopefully awesome, story!
Honestly, this release might be a little slow for some readers, as they spend most of the time recruiting and base building. There is one fairly large fight that takes up a solid 2,000 words of the release, but otherwise there is a fair bit of talking as the various new characters get introduced and interact with the team a bit. Don't worry too much if...

Edit: Alright! I've gotten the list I'm using sorted out for now! Thanks for all the help, folks. Don't hesitate to keep suggesting people I might not think of, though ;-). There will be future recruiting beyond the initial dossiers, as well as the need for encounters with other heroes in general!
Hey all! I need your brains ;-). No, I'm not going to eat them, promise! I'm working on Why Was There No Truck!? and running headfirst into a problem. Specif...

Or, you know, whatever your personal preference was, if not warm socks. ;-)

Whew! Just barely managed to get this one done on time. Which, well...I also produced a nearly 15k extra this month, so that's not exactly a surprise :-p. Anyway, the next batch of chapters for Displaced Hero are here! Also, Merry Christmas to all, if I don't poke my head in between now and the 25th ;-).
A special note about the chapters this time. Pay attention to the date markers.

Merry Christmas a bit early!
So, this is actually been done for a couple of days. Originally, I was going to hold off and release it around Christmas since, you know, it's a Holiday Extra. Then, of course, I realized that...Displaced Hero already releases on the 22nd every month, and I'll probably not be doing much posting on the 24th or 25th because of family time. Net result, I said 'heck with it,' and decided to give you all your Christmas present a bit early ;-).

Happy update day, everyone! Time for the second monthly installment of Halfway Broken, which pushes us through the end (almost at least) of the Drakestone original island. Between the 5,600+ words of the release on the first, and this 9,400+ set, it also neatly hit the 15k word goal, which I'm pleased about. It always annoys me just a tiny bit when I fall short, even if I do so because its simply the right place to stop without cliffhangers or such. Bit of an OCD thing, really, I guess.
January Story Poll
Alright, boys, girls, mysterious eldritch beings from behind time and space, and others! As I mentioned when I put the two polls up yesterday (Zoey's Next Pokémon and 2B's Next Pokémon), today is the day for next month's Story Poll to go up! Even if, you know, it was originally going to be yesterday, if I ...
2025-12-11 19:40:28 +0000 UTC View Post2B's Next Pokémon!
Part of a pair of polls with Zoey's Next Pokémon, make sure you catch them both!
To be honest, 2B's options in Mt. Moon aren't as good as Zoey's, so this poll actually extends a bit beyond Mt. Moon, to include options that will become available to her around Cerulean as well. Frankly, she's less in immediate need of more team members than Zoey anyway.
Zoey's Next Pokémon!
Yikes! I'd intended to post these two polls (Zoey's next Pokémon and 2B's next Pokémon) the same day as the story update! Then I was going to post the monthly poll today. Only, I went to post the monthly poll...and realized that my absent-minded dumbass hadn't posted these yet T-T. So, you're getting these two polls today, and the monthly poll will start up tomorrow.
Now, first off, and why I'm doing this poll first of the two, is that Zoey is the only one who 100% absolutely is gett...

An update for this story is here at last! In which we finally get to see 2B's Gym debut, lewd handholding, and more! This update pushes through the end of their time in Pewter, then they are off to Mt. Moon, where it ends...on the closest thing to a cliffhanger I think I've ever written ;-). Don't worry, it's not that dramatic. It ends where it does, despite that being about 500 words short of the 15k goal, because I didn't want it to be too much of a cliff hangar, given it ...
2025-12-08 17:04:36 +0000 UTC View PostHalfway Broken - Chapter 94
Time for the first release of the month! Just one chapter this time, but it's 5,500 words, so the same rough word count as usual for the 1st of the month. There just really wasn't a good place to break the chapter in two, which is what I would normally do if it ran that long. Anyway, I'm decently happy with how it's turning out so far, I'm trying my hand at another One Piece staple with it. Though I'll save explaining that for the author's notes so I don't spoil anything!
As usual, the ...

Alright folks, we've got two polls to cover this time. Foremost is the December Story Poll, of course, but we also have the Stripper With a System Companion Poll to get the results of.

Whew! Finally done with this, even if a day later than usual. On the plus side, it's also nearly 16,000 words instead of the usual 15,000...and may or may not include 3,500 words of kinky bits ;-). Marked and skippable of course, for those that don't want to read that sort of thing.
A major note in general is that, as of these chapters, we're starting to accelerate into some longer time skips. Nothing huge, but jumps of a month here or there instead of the more typical week or two we've...
