I’m finally back to writing again. I have a new story ready to roll, and a couple more that I’d abandoned well underway. I can’t for the life of me figure out why I’d given up on them. LOL
Keep your eyes open for “A Fine Substitute” soon, and you can get a preview teaser on the forum, if you’re of a mind.
Pawnographic is now available for download in cross-platform RTF format and Kindle compatible .prc format. Grab your copy for offline reading on my downloads page.
I finally finished a new story and it’s live on Literotica and Storiesonline.
Go give “Pawnographic” a read and a vote at the site of your choice!
( Because it exceeds Lush’s single-submission length and I don’t want to chop it into two parts, it won’t be posting there )
“Vicki Cleans Up” and “Sucksess” are now available for download in .prc format for your Kindle reader and RTF for offline reading on pretty much anything.
They’re collected into a single volume called “Hot Shorts Vol. Three”.
“Like Riding a Bike” is also available in both formats, and you can get your copies of all three right here:
I finished the first draft of a new story a couple of days ago. I’m going to start working on the first-pass edit either today or tomorrow. It’s called “Taste the Rainbow” and will be an entry in the “This is Hardcore” contest at Lushstories.
It’s a naughty college sex story, and as the theme of the contest implies, it has an edge.
I’m still trying to figure out where to work it into my release schedule next week. ( Or technically, this week, since it’s Sunday ) Chapters of Jackin’ Jill as Les Lumens will be coming out on Tuesdays and Fridays, so those two are out. I’m currently leaning toward Wednesday, since there doesn’t seem to be any particular day that is better or worse than another on Lushstories. That will give it a couple of days of exclusive time if I plan for it to post on Lit and SOL the following Friday.
A same-day posting on Lit and SOL isn’t as much of an issue as it would be at Lush, and that’s one of the better days on those sites.
That would also have me putting it in the queue at Lit on Wednesday. The more I think about it, the more likely it is that will be the plan.
The other story in progress is a Milf ( genuine Milf – has a daughter ) story called “A Fine Substitute”. I’m about halfway through the build-up of that one. I think this is going to be a quickie on the shorter end of my average story length in this pen name.
Just thought I’d drop a line about upcoming events, since I’ve been so quiet through my slump.
“Send in the Clone” just placed second in the “Toy With Me” contest at Lush.
Never saw that coming, because as far as I knew, it hadn’t received the necessary ten votes to qualify by the time the contest ended. Surprised, and naturally happy about it.
No clue what I’m going to do with the store credits that are the prize, though *laugh*
My latest story is live in the Literotica Summer Lovin’ contest! Go give it a read and a vote, won’t you?
Rob is having a few beers down by the old pond when his Mom’s best friend Ms. Lake catches him. Things turn out far better than expected for those circumstances, though.
Lit and SOL readers can now have a little proxy fun with the babysitter when they “Send in the Clone”
In the strangest happening to date, the SOL posting currently has more votes than Lit and Lush combined *laugh*
I just put “Send in the Clone” in the queue at Literotica. There’s been a two-day lag in posting for quite some time now, so I expect it to go live there on Wednesday. With that in mind, I’ll submit it to Storiesonline on Tuesday night.
If the Lit posting goes up earlier, or gets marked for an earlier posting ( sometimes stories are pre-approved ) I’ll adjust my SOL submission accordingly.
This was written for a contest at Lush, but I think I may stop entering there. Most of the recent entries haven’t even managed to qualify. I tend to get exactly 9 votes, which is one short.
I’ve really seen no benefit of entering the contests there. It doesn’t increase readership the way the Lit contests do. If anything, it seems to keep people from voting because they’re participating in the contest, or a moderator charged with narrowing down the field, etc.
It’s getting to the point where posting there at all isn’t worth the effort. Even a good showing is less than 30 votes now that they’ve disabled anonymous voting, and anonymous comments have never been allowed. So, I’m getting very little feedback there.
The overall readership has plummeted since they got rid of the incest category as well. On the day they abolished the category, they had an Alexa world rank of 5362. Today, that rank has nosedived to to 8121, and is on the verge of dropping below ASSTR again.
If conditions don’t improve, I may not bother with Lush any longer. The submission form is annoying to me because it won’t recognize my italics from Wordperfect, forcing me to go through and manually put them into every story. I do that for Lit as well by adding the tags, but I can do that in the document before submission. I have to do it in the submission window at Lush.
I’m also not getting any referral traffic from Lush. I’ve always had constant referrals from Lit, SOL, and even Lit’s forum, but lately, Lush isn’t even showing up on the radar. Even Facebook and Twitter send more eyes to my site than Lush, and I don’t really post or tweet there that often.
The effort vs. reward is rapidly deteriorating. As it stands right now, if I do decide to drop Lush, I’ll probably leave everything up there and simply stop posting new stories. There have been some troubling things coming from management/moderation in the past, though. If something like that comes up again after I’ve decided to drop them, that could prompt me to wipe out my work there.
If that happens, all the stories will still be available either on my website, or at Lit and SOL.
A brand new story just went live on the Hot Shorts page!
It’s Rick’s last day working at the chicken joint, but his busty Milf boss may just leave him with fond memories of the place in:
If you like it, why not take a moment to leave a comment? Link is at the end of the story 🙂
