Old category returning to Lushstories

Looks like Lush finally realized that staying afloat without the incest category wasn’t working.  Their traffic dropped by 50% when they removed it, and even going to a pay model didn’t do the trick, it seems.

Against vehement protests from the same people who gloated when it was removed, the category is back.  So, over the coming days, I’ll be uploading some of my stories again.

First up will be Sunny Daze.  It’s already in the queue.  I think I’ll go with Paige From Her Diary next.

I probably won’t be posting the Adam stories there any time soon.  That’s a lot of chapters, and I doubt any of the stories in this category are going to be approved quickly.  I also probably won’t post No Purer Love, as that story is pretty week.  The structure is all wonky, and I’ve never been really happy with it on re-reads.

Mom’s Stocking Stuffer and Peppermint Patty will go in the queue some time in December to take advantage of the season.

That leaves the two Kindled chapters and Mom’s Second Chance, which will probably hit right after Paige.

Meanwhile, I also have a quickie off for editing to post in the voyeur category there ( working on getting my Omnium badge by posting in every category, plus I needed another short to team up with “Pot Head” for the Ebook here. )

Also working on a story for the “Boobies” contest at Lush and the Winter Holiday contest at Lit.  No clue if I’ll finish either of them in time for the contest or even the season.  If not, they’ll go in the next year folder and I’ll try again then.

Nude Day story in progress

Dug the start of a story out of my “Next Year” folder and it was singing to me, so I picked it back up for this year’s Nude Day contest at Lit.

I’m already into the sex, so it shouldn’t be too long before it’s finished.  Dipping back into the MILF well again with this tale.

Vicki will go into the queue at Lit today for an expected Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning release, and I’ll get it in the queue at SOL to hopefully release at the same general time.

Still have “A Fine Substitute” sitting at the beginning of the sex, waiting for me to pick it back up as well.  The two contest stories took priority when I had to take a break from my Magic of the Wood story as Les.

Had another flash of inspiration, so I have an outline for another story built up and ready to roll as well.  Should be at least a couple coming soon to all three sites.

Quickie coming soon.

Just finished a quickie for the contest at Lushstories.  The plan is to get it out for editing and try to get it posted there tomorrow.

Probably save it for Lit and SOL until next Friday.

Have a couple of other stories that have been in progress longer, but this one was talking to me today.  ( Started and finished today )  I’ve learned not to ignore a story that’s talking to me.  LOL

New stuff on the way.

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.

“Incredible” news.

First, apologies for not posting the Lit and SOL links here on my blog, Twitter, or Facebook.  I don’t have any real excuse other than laziness.  You can find them linked on those sites from the website, either on the Latest Releases or My Stories pages.

As to the news, it’s doing well in the contest at Lush.  More comments than the bulk of the stories in the contest, a solid vote total ( at least if my timeline count is correct, since actual vote totals aren’t shown while a contest is running ) and better than average view numbers.

Of course, that doesn’t mean jack with respect to placing in the contest.  The only thing the reader voting counts toward is the 10 votes to qualify.  Everything else is up to a panel of judges.

At Lit, it’s my third story outside a contest to break the 1000 vote mark.  It’s pulled in over 40 story favorites, quite a few ( rare, nowadays ) public comments, and a few emails.  It has solid view numbers, and a better than 2% vote to view ratio, which is great for Lit.  Holding a 4.67 score as well, which is nice.

The author favorites coming in after posting this story have also pushed me over the bar into the top 200 all-time favorite authors on Lit, and still climbing.

On SOL, it has a solid score, and has garnered a couple of emails ( also somewhat of a rare thing ) The big things there are that it picked up a glowing review on the site, and climbed all the way to #3 on the weekly downloads list.  On a site with such a bias toward epics, having a short story pull in those kind of download numbers tickles me.

Even before all that good news started coming in, I was working on follow-ups, though.  I don’t usually do that in this pen name, but these characters were still talking to me, and doing so loudly, so I’m writing it down.  I’m probably three quarters through a Ch. 2, with at least a Ch. 3 to come.

There’s even a possibility of a website exclusive, non-canon addition of it that fulfills a request I seem to get every time I write one of these stories with these character archetypes.  We’ll see about that.  All of the stories on my “Hot Shorts” page so far are unconnected one-shots, and I’d always intended to post continuations of stories there for readers who visit the website.

Anyway, that’s all the news for now.

Never saw that one coming.

“Send in the Clone” just placed second in the “Toy With Me” contest at Lush.

Toy With Me Contest

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*
