Posted the next chapter for "Mongrels and Music." I think Kupper is gonna get to the sex before anyone else. One more chapter and they be fuckin'. Roscrow's not getting any fucking because he went radio dark on me. Right at the good part, you dick! You do this all the time! It's like having a sapient telepathic cat in my head. "I'm shunning you. Do you see me shunning you? WITNESS ME SHUN YOU!" Fine. Roan's getting all the elf pussy. But not for a bit yet. So, guess that'll be Kupper. That's okay, he's my favorite, anyway. You hear that, Roscrow? Kupper's my favorite! You could be my favorite if you weren't moodier than a teenage girl at an all girls catholic summer camp.
Speaking of Roscrow and "The Dragon Tamers," my proof reader has been indifferent to my puppy pictures. My method of torture is ineffective. Must come up with something else. But, as I promised, there will be a NEW chapter to Dragon Tamer. I've made it short. Like these other stories, I'm trying to maneuver through the stream of consciousness and find break points that make sense and make the reader want to turn the page. You will see tomorrow what looks like 2 new chapters, but I'm breaking up the last one into 2 in order to shorten them and keep myself equal with other sites. I had posted that chapter here first rather than elsewhere and that's why it was one big one instead of the 2 little ones. The idea came to me later. Also, the part where Jasper does his Tender thing makes for a chapter called "A Tender Moment" while this new chapter mocks that one with "A Tense Moment." So it has to happen.
I'm still working on the rewrite of the first chapter, "Girl in the Snow." My friend helped me realize what my intention had been and how I fell short. Later in the story, his love for S're is brought into question. I wanted from the start to make the reader question. Is she controlling him? Could it be? Does he know this? And I did not even hit the board the target was pinned to. So, if he still has not caught up next week, I should have that chapter touched up and repost it.
And on Saturday, Roan's gonna find out his elf and her pussy[cat] have secrets. I use a lot of the old version in this encounter, but I touched up the conversation quite a bit, and I think the dialogue makes more sense. I hope you all think it makes more sense, too.
I have a question for anyone who has gotten this far. Would you be interested in a less... fantasy driven story? One that may be a little more down to earth? This Earth, specifically? No magic. No aliens. Something I've not done before. It was a concept someone planted in my head and the seed has taken root and is growing like a weed. The thoughts have skittered through my mind like sand and it's becoming a storm. He was struck by the idea that I started writing smut at 13 not knowing a thing about what I was writing and made mention that such a story- a journey of coming of age and learning about it through writing- would be immensely alluring. An autobiography of sorts, with some poetic license. I'm not sure how sexual it would be. I've never thought of it since I wouldn't want to read such a thing, myself. But now, I can't stop. Hmmm, real life? Don't I get enough of that simply living in it already? Well, in any case, it has been an interesting idea and I've been mulling it over.
Maybe once all the elves clear out. Uuuugh, but then the assassin girls want to play! And after that is a totally new story about a dude who can sort of see the future and gets put in a gladiator type thing run by an ancient clockwork technomancer. Dude makes friends with a werebear warrior, a necromancer feline alien person with a giant skeleton warrior, and a goblin-like elementalist. They escape and get chased by a sapient shapeshifting plant that can appear as a person or an animal. And he's evil as they come. For once, no smut. Just a story. But I've had to let it sit for years. Staven's been a very patient man, hanging out with all these dangerous characters.
