Once more into the breach! Welcome, welcome, welcome to Book Two of Becoming Monsters: In The Mirror! There is still a lot of story to tell with Jay and his crew, and given I’ve literally had dreams of the ladies of the Guild sitting me down to ask when I was going to keep going and tell them the rest of what happened, I decided not to keep them waiting.

Hey everyone!
We are a week away from the start of National Novel Writers Month! Exciting, no? I didn’t participate last year, but the year before I hit 73,000 words on the story that became In The Mirror. I’ve been working like a mad otter getting the stories ready for posting throughout the month of November, because I won’t be working on any of them normally. Instead, I’ll be a...

Warning: this story is not like most that I write. It is much darker in tone, and treads into dubious consent territories that I usually specifically keep out of my writings.
These tales are not in any particular universe, nor meant to be read all that deeply. I occasionally get really random ideas in my head, and need to get them out of the way so that I can do my actual writing. Some ev...
2024-10-18 22:54:59 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone! I've made a short story, about 2500 words from start to finish. It is... not my normal tone. Much darker, and treads into non/dub-con territories. Things I usually specifically keep out of my tales. I jotted it down to get out of my head so that I could write the stuff you're actually here for (in this case next month's chapter of I'm Blue). My question to you is: should I post...

Really don’t like having to say this one, but here it goes. For my USA followers, election season is upon us. Early voting has opened already in several states.

Hey everyone! Otterly here with a brief update. Okay, a couple of them, but let's get to them.
First, the reason I'm making this post at all is because Patreon has enabled Recommendations for 18+ pages. As a result, I am going through and finding ones I personally recommend to add to mine! More will be getting added over the next few days, but every one is solid and, IMHO, well worth at l...
