Welcome to a whole new universe! I don’t write too much sci-fi, but a commissioner dared me so here I am. This story is planned for five chapters, but we’ll see how it’s going when we get there.
The idea for this one comes from Moonwing, who you may recognize as the guy who commissioned Becoming Monsters: Stay In Vegas.

Alright, this should be short.
This week is Third Friday, regularly scheduled for Quaranteam: Remote Work. If the present pace of writing doesn't do something miraculous, that probably isn't happening. I'll do my best to get it out this month, but the combination of it being a longer chapter with life deciding that I didn't REALLY need all those spare hours I use to write for the last wee...

This is a short tale of the Becoming Monsters Universe by AiLovesToGrow.
The idea for this one comes from a commissioner. He gave me a story seed and asked that I use it in three different ways. This is me daring him to read the rest of Becoming Monsters, he came to me through other tales.

Apologies to all my regular readers, this week’s updates will be a few days late. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I won’t be home to do my uploads until this weekend. Next week will be back on schedule, don’t you worry! I will try to get them out here, but that historically has not worked out from my phone

Had to wait for today’s Tidbits chapter to come out before I could make this post, you all understand.
So! Let’s address the Succubus in the room: Tidbits is not over. It is, however, going on hiatus for a couple of months so that I can catch up on coms. I am presently working on the second chapter of Nine Lives, then a commissioned One Shot Story, then I need to catch up Ten Thousand...

This series remains a place to put those random ideas which may not fit into longer tales. This one was requested by a Patron commissioner, and I’ll say “woman transforms to be sexy and powerful, and guy gets some benefits” is so directly up my alley he might as well have just told me to write whatever I felt like.

Perhaps my most-requested short, from both readers and co-writers. There is no consolidated guide to the universe, and this is intentional, but a little primer of what “everybody knows” is apparently much desired. Thankfully, I happen to have a university and a friendly professor who happens to look ...
