Hi!
Bit of a quick impromptu poll. (Admittedly, I've got another set of somewhat-similar poll choices for Speedrunner that'll show up on Thursday. Apologies for inundating you all; I'm hoping contributing to the direction character development goes in is fun instead of feeling spammy.)
Per the reader poll results, my plan for next month is to write a Dungeon Mistress story, prob...
2025-07-29 14:05:58 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: As mentioned in one of my other recent posts, I'm still working on the final chapter of Hospital Stay; it'll be released in August at some point as a bonus to the usual cadence of Monday releases. But here's the second June poll-winner -- a stand-alone story, although as you'll see, maybe it leaves room for a sequel at some point. :)

2025-07-24 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: Well, the results are in, and voting puts Matt at a 1.7 on the 1 (forgiving) to 4 (over it) scale that I invented.
So he'll land on the forgiving side of distrustful when it comes to Viv and Lauren, for now, at least.
Thanks for voting. I may do other, similar, polls going forward, where they're less about an immediate choice and more about estab...

So far, this month, I've posted:
The Masseuse, 24A (the first of four endings!)
Author's Note: In reviewing the first few chapters, I realized I've had some inconsistencies in one of the names of the stats; it ought to be called Performance, not Physical. I've tweaked the first few chapters to correct the inconsistency; just wanted to clarify any confusion.

2025-07-07 13:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: If you haven't read this before, I've written four different versions of Chapter 24 -- four different endings for the story. That's why Chapter 23 ends where it does. I'm going to shoot for editing and posting one ending a week for the next four weeks, so you won't have to wait too long for the ends.

2025-07-03 19:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostI'm fresh off vacation (which hopefully went mostly unnoticed; I had everything scheduled out to go live at its usual pace!) and now raring to go.
Here's what I posted in June:
“Well,” Dr Carlson said, drawing the word out dubiously. “It’s certainly possible that the surgery didn’t work. We discussed that possibility. You feel some sensitivity, you say?”
I nodded.
I was doing my best to tell myself that what’d happened with Kate wasn’t, uh, dispositive.
After all, she’d showed up after I’d been basically edged by Mia, und...
2025-06-30 13:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: Doing this as a short bonus post plus a poll as an addendum to Speedrunner 0.2. It's the first time any of the characters have “leveled up” so there's a bit of a mechanics-dump, and I'm going to treat this as a voting opportunity.
If you're hoping for more sex-related game mechanics, you've come to the right place!

Ah.
Yes, we gave it everything it asked for. Of course we did.
Apologies if I sound tired, Diane, but I can see the moral hectoring coming from a mile away. That's the whole point here, the entirety of what makes this little experiment in entertainment interesting: AI led, human assisted

Lauren was looking at me, steadily. "It's your call, Matt, I'm not about to pick for you. Which will it be -- getting her off, or finding some way for you to get off?"
It was an easy choice, really.
