Added 2020-12-17 17:27:01 +0000 UTC

So the other day I hit 100 active patrons. It's 99 now but still, that's awesome. Thank you guys so much for all the support.

I've got a draft for a bonus story that I plan on dropping on Christmas. It's called MUNCHausen by Proxy. It's about Shirley Crawford, the creepily possessive mother of Ashley, both of whom were featured in my story Visiting Nurse. A prequel of sorts, the story will take us back to the tail-end of Ashley's time in high school. Ashley is a very big girl. She suffers from an incurable gland disorder that causes her to gain tremendous amounts of weight regardless of what she eats. As it's incurable, Shirley has no choice but to care for her daughter as she continues to balloon.

I really like the premise and am very curious as to what you'll think of it. I really liked writing Shirley and the story itself is dark in a different way than my last few dark stories. Depending on how it does I could see myself doing at least two more installments. So once that story goes up I'll make a poll, gauge reactions, and go from there. The first draft would still make a fine standalone story if you guys aren't into it.

Army Wives! I hope you guys are digging it. The consensus from Deviantart and what I've gotten here seems to be that I'm headed in the right direction. Even though it's a slow burn and advertised as such I do worry sometimes that I spend too much time on exposition. Now that I've set the stage and introduced you all to Sinead, things are going to begin to slowly pick up. Gradually. But the payoff will be worth it.

I'm gonna be whipping up the January release schedule soon. If you guys wanna offer suggestions to what you'd like to see, by all means, go right ahead. I think I may do something else with Sandra and Shauna from Big Ol' Bimbos. There's two weeks left in the month though so I'm not setting anything in stone.

OH! And I've chosen and paid the illustrator for my debut crossover novel. I don't wanna announce who it is before they give me the go-ahead. But I'm very excited. So yeah! Thanks again guys!
