The RA Volume IV, Part Seven: The Alternate's Tale

Well, turns out these edits go faster when you're not rewriting half the original and doubling it in size! Also, Vanessa is such a fucking delight, and this thing was really good the first time around. That's right, we end our journey through some of the side cast of The RA with the Higgins 2 RA, Vanessa. Shy and quiet, the sort of person you could, as one of my own hall managers once said, knock over with a feather. There's not a lot to say without spoiling what is a really lovely little sto...

The RA Volume IV Part Six: The Triplets' Tale

Another freakin' whopper for y'all, but considering it covers the backstory of not one, not two, but three Hotties, what choice did I have? This one is something else. I sort of regretted after publishing book 1 introducing the concept of hot identical triplets. In a story that's already doing some work at keeping its blinders on, the emergence of triplets pushed it pretty far. (Some of you probably rolled your eyes, too. No one blames you.) Triplets are something like 1 in 6,000 births, but ...

The RA Volume IV, Part Five: The Gamer's Tale

As many of you know, when I'm in book mode, I release the first draft of chapters to $20+ patrons as they complete, and then later when the book is done I go back and edit and proofread and make it seem like I know how to spell a little. The end result is usually pretty similar, just better focused on its themes, more colorful, less disruptive with typos and proofreading. If you read the original, you can skim or skip the rewrite and get the gist.

This is not that. This is so much b...

The RA Volume IV: The Lesbians' Tale

Good news! This one will not make you cry. (Sorry again, Amy.) No, this story is a good old-fashioned Ice Bearriffic sweetheart of a story about Higgins 3's best known lesbians, Sydney and Peyton. For a tale about two insatiably horny teenagers, it's sort of adorably wholesome about it, the two of them trying to figure out how a relationship between two people can work when they're both being infused with libidinous bio-weapons by their RA. It's much more in the tone and spirit of Toni's stor...

The RA Volume IV: The Warrior's Tale

More RA IV for you. Kind of. I want to be up front with everybody that this is not your typical Ice Bear story. It's not really even erotica. (You might squeeze a drop or two out of it, but for the most part.) This one comes with legit trigger warnings for sexual violence, self-harm, and suicidal urges.

That said... this is a thing I wrote. I personally like it, but it won't be for everybody. This chapter of The RA IV follows Amy, one of the few sophomores on Higgins 3 and sort of a wal...

The RA Volume IV: A Slut's Tale

When I first wrote Shauna's story over the summer, I knew it was racier, but I forgot I'd gone full scorched earth. Meet Shauna, everybody. Heretofore one of the little-known quantities around Higgins 3, but in this story we get to know the inveterate friggin' slut that she is. (Her words, not mine. She's getting spitroasted by the second page, so I don't feel like we're being super unfair.)

Initially, I think I just wanted to explore what the Spencer Effect would do to someone who alre...

Commission: Cedar Breeze

Hey folks! Here we have a commission, Cedar Breeze. I made some art for it, so the files are split into the vanilla story (Cedar Breeze) and a version with the imagery inserted if you're into that (Cedar Breeze Illustrated). It was a fun challenge - the request was basically to have a protagonist surrounded by women unexpectedly throwing themselves at him, things getting increasingly out of hand. And I was like "oh, so like, The RA" and they were like "what's The RA?" So I wanted to take it i...

The Influencer's Tale: The RA Vol 4.1

(Update: The initial upload was missing the pdf entry. It has been corrected!)

I'm back! I had a great trip last week and we are back in the swing of things. Today, I bring you the first edition in the RA Volume IV series! This will be pretty different from the previous 3 volumes. Here, we have each "chapter" as a fairly lengthy short story, told not from Spencer's perspective, but from one of the women inhabiting the RAverse. There's seven such stories drafted that I'll be edi...

Early release: Perfect GPA, conclusion

Whew. Sorry for the delay on this folks. (More on what's been keeping me below.) Here we have Perfect GPA part 4, the finale to this mini-series. This was such a fun little lark. It's rare you get to write md mc erotica from the male perspective and still get to play with that delightful trope of a mind control victim with no concept of how totally mind-fucked they are. 

I've been playing with the AI some more -- pretty easy to just refresh, proof a paragraph, refresh, etc. This ti...

Perfect GPA, Part 3

Hey, more Perfect GPA! A few more pics for lolz! Huzzah! Probably one more part to go, which I'll tackle this coming week.

As for me, I have my annual Week o' D&D to plan for, the week itself coming up the end of the month. I'm GMing this year, so that'll slow me down a bit here for the next few weeks and then I'll be going hard. We'll finish this, proof and finish RA4, and then I'd like to split myself between RA5 and Toy's Toy, finally giving Devon and Brian a little closure. So t...

Perfect GPA, part 2

Promised and delivered! Here's part 2 of Perfect GPA. I don't know how long before I'll have a part 3; for now, this is as far as I've written, but I am having lots of fun with this one so I doubt it'll be that long. Like I said in the post for part 1, I feel like this is one of the most predictable things I've ever written, but who cares, you know? Maybe I'll surprise myself before it's over, but for now, it's just hot. I also threw together a few AI images for a couple characters, appended ...

Perfect GPA, Part 1

I tell ya what, if this is the kind of story that hits your buttons, it's gonna punch the fuck out of 'em. The other day I had a stray idea, and what I thought would be a long-winded intro leading to a hot scene or two blossomed into what's so far 20k words and maybe halfway done. So here we have part 1 of Perfect GPA.

I'm not even going to bother to preview. We had a brief talk the other day on discord about mind contr...

RA4 Sneak Peek 2

Hey folks! I'm out on the road last week and this coming, having a good time and getting little done. In the meantime, I figured so folks didn't miss me too much, I'd do another broader mini-release from what I have so far on The RA 4. As it stands, I have five chapters (really five short stories). I already shared Destiny's piece, The Gamer's Tale. We also have Terri with The Influencer's Tale, Sydney in The Lesbian's Tale, Shauna starring in The Slut's Tale, and most recently Vanessa in The...

The RA volume 4: The Gamer's Tale

Hey folks! Normally I share these early release novel chapter posts as an exclusive perk with the $20+ crowd, but I wanted to broaden the scope of this one a little bit. I'm back at work on The RA Volume 4, this time a series of shorts following various residents (and maybe staff members) on and around Higgins 3. These posts are always done first draft quality, so expect some ugly parts. I don't even hit spellcheck.  It can be bumpy at times, but since I know how I tend to get pretty myo...

The RA 4 Ch 1: Toni's Story

So I'm back at it. Before I get into this, let me get into my thoughts on volume 4 as a work. After three volumes of Spencer easing his way into Higgins 3, I feel like we have a good enough grasp on the setting and the cast to branch out and explore some other perspectives. That's what this volume will be, stories told from the perspective of various Hotties, and perhaps a staff member or two. The plan is to start them wherever they make sense to start, then montage our way up to the...

The Toy's Toy 7

Guess who's back? Back again?

Devon's back. Tell a friend.

Fun fact: that song didn't come out until after this story is set. That's right, time to journey back to the aughts to a time when it was exactly as mystifying that Pat Sajak and Vanna White were still doing Wheel of Fortune. (Although guess who announced their plans to retire just the other day? Turbulent times.)

So yeah, as a refresher, we left off with Devon contriving some truly horrible romantic entangl...

The Learning Annex

Attached is the results of last week's live write. Usually I do a lot of explaining about the story here in the patreon post, but because of all the oddity surrounding it -- it's a snippet; it's from Last Woman Kneeling; it's a live write; etc. -- I embedded the explanations in the file itself to help make sense of it. This way, the necessary context for it to not be pure chaos remains al...

The RA, Volume III: Violations

I wrote another book, you guys! This is the third installment in the RA series. On our cover this time out, thanks to the assistance of Griz T. Orc himself, we have Higgins 3's governor Tori, glowering like none other and looking amazing doing it.

This book picks up about where we left off in volume 2, with the Hotties returning from fall break. Spencer's ready to do his part to lead his floor to sexual greatness, only what becomes fast apparent is that everything is not so chill as it ...

The RA 3, Epilogue

Just a little closure, folks! On further analysis and good advice from smart people, I think we're going to kick off volume 4 with the Halloween party. Something to look forward to, right? We have a couple scenes for closure, a bit with the goons over at Hancock, and fin. Oh, and we have a fresh Lexi pic! (It's a different model. Sorry, purists!) It's in the Higgins Hotties google drive folder, but attached below as well.

Now... to revise.

The RA 3, Ch 11

Here we are, near the end of part 3. When I started this chapter, I was sure it would end here. I'll do a handful of scenes of Spencer checking in as needs be, wrap up the Lexi issue, have a proper erotica Halloween party and there we go.

Then I wrote... this.

I'm really, really happy with how this chapter turned out. It wound up being entirely occupied with those check-ins, though. (I titled the chapter Rounds, which as jargon is bad, since Spencer is not making rounds in the sen...

The RA 3, Ch 9

Now back to our regularly scheduled harem. We're drawing near to the end, now. A few threads yet to resolve, but there's an end in sight. With Spencer deciding he's going to switch off his eponymous effect, which is a decision he has made and will absolutely stick to, it's just down to see if he can fix things with his girls and get back to business as usual. Get ready for The RA volume 4: hanging out in the lounge playing board games and stuff.

The RA 3, Ch 8

All right, so for those of you who like exposition dumps, I have good news. (It's, ya know, that.) Not our sexiest chapter, sadly, but if you want to learn a few things, here's some things to learn. If you don't, well, chapter 9 is only a few days off, most likely!

The RA volume 3 Ch 7

More RA! We do a bit of montaging this chapter, some back and forth, but hopefully it works. In a perfect world, every Hottie succumbing to Spencer and his trademarked effect would get a nice thorough scene, but that's a lot of scenes, ya know? Life is long, though, and there are many scenes still to be written. There's an element of just kind of opening the roster and playing around, exploring dynamics between Spencer and various Hotties that feel interesting and giving them a little breath ...
