Mr Anton Pipe: Blog

I know some of you are still savouring "Grandpa Tom's Cabin". There's no need to rush these things and please remember to vote when you get to the end ;-)
For the insatiable ones who've already finished it though, you'll be happy to know that Part 1 of "Freshman Spring" has been posted and will appear soon.
I've divided this one slightly differently. There will be just two larger parts (10,000 words+ each) instead of shorter chapters. It means you lose out on the chapter name Dad jokes and obscure references but who really digs those anyway? It seemed to make more sense for the slightly more rambling, multi POV, style I've drifted into. Feel free as always to tell me where I've gone wrong and if this is better or worse than the short chapters.
Part 2 will follow as soon as I've ironed out the typos and soothed all the sore bits. It will be considerably more plot heavy than Part 1.

Things are picking up again around here. The final four chapters of Grandpa Tom's cabin have been posted and will appear soon.
Please check story codes and relevant health insurance clauses before diving in. The lake can be dangerous even at this time of year ;-)

Stories from Rose and her lovers' second term at college are being collected and turned into a narrative. We won't be able to follow every little detail of every relationship of course but there should be plenty of flavour to carry the narrative forward to more significant events. Not that every little touch isn't significant. I'll try to slow down for some of the good bits along the way. Enough of the inuendo, on with the...

With many thanks to the hard working site editors, Rose Does College is now complete at 25 chapters. To celebrate there'll be a short (1300 words) Molly story appearing later today for the espresso minded. For those who prefer it longer and slower, don't worry. The first term at Alm College is over but the Baxters will shortly be off on holiday and Rose is bringing some of her new friends along. Stuck in an eccentric billionaire's snow bound retirement palace for a week with nothing but each other for entertainment. What will they do?

I'm delighted to get so much interest in Rose Does College so quickly. Especially when it's been ages since I posted anything. There are lots of fun incidents from Rose's teenage years that I would love to tell you about but I tend to need a larger narrative to tie things together.

So what can my avid readers expect from upcoming Rose Dose College chapters. Will it all be flashbacks?

No. We will get a few flash backs to Rose growing up and some background on her new friends but the college love life narrative picks up shortly (Ch.6->).

Twenty five short chapters (roughly 1200 words each) are already written and edited, taking us up to the end of the 2089 fall term. There'll be more about 2090 another time but suffice to say the writing is now a year of narrative ahead of the editing. You can tell from that which I find easier and one reason why I haven't posted in months.

For the true fan who is actually following the background futurist story here [All three of you ;-)] you'll be glad to know that it's ongoing but first year college students aren't concerned about saving the world. They're way too busy hooking up and getting laid.

Molly's original tale will pass a significant round number milestone of downloads this weekend. I should celebrate by posting something new. I promise I have 25,000 words of unpublished chapters but it's still coalescing. Mostly around Molly's daughter Rose and her college years. Her life and loves. I'd post some of it, if I was sure it wouldn't need to be radically restructured to make it coherent.
The big question is do I write Rose's coming of age entirely in flashbacks within this narrative or as a separate story? It's bound to be hot either way. The flashbacks would have to be tight and straight to the raunchy action. The separate story could wallow in the debauched details but which is best?
