I had only a bit of spare time this week, and so decided to read trust. Such a warm feeling inside when I was done, as you gave definition to their (up to this point) ambiguous relationship. The self-contradictory nature of having to undertake a decision as hefty as choosing to spend your entire life with someone is well-presented, and the symbol of Natani needing Keith to put the collar on is beautifully thought out.

Also, best ship! :keith: :heart: :natani:

A bit belatedly, but: So, wait, I ended up double-tricking you? In ToaK, you thought that they would bang, and in FH, you thought that they wouldn't? :grin:

The ToaK reaction is pretty expected. (It is, after all, after EP.) With FH, I'm not sure if I'm expecting that there should be expectations one way or another -- it is, after all, after ToaK -- but it would be nice if the reader was hoping for something. That may require a specific audience, though.
I'm confused. I read Too Late recently, and Entertaining Possibilities sometime before that. I don't think I've read Two of a Kind.

I love the phrase 'adding a hypotenuse to a love triangle' :grin:

Since you felt this was a bit secondary, what would you say were the primary stories in FH?
Keith and Natani + Zen, for one. Also Keith and Nick. Natani and Maddie might constitute another secondary one.
amenon wrote:Also, since it came up somewhere else, I have a bit of a puzzle relating to Natani and Maddie, for anyone willing to take it. To quote FH:
Full House wrote: "What am I going to say to her mother?!"
Nick had already been thinking in that direction. He'd be making his report sooner than Keith or Maddie. He discarded the first three responses that came to mind. "That she's showing initiative in matters of interracial relations?"
The question: What is one of those three responses that Nick discarded, that might have immediately come to his mind, but he might not want to state, to the King or in general?
"He looked like a Basisitin after a few drinks."

I have completed a zeroth draft for the story I've been working on! One more story to go, and then the wonderful world of editing...

I guess I'm not on record here, so I'll go on record: I should have this all wrapped up in about 3-6 more months. Deadline is summer solstice, and somewhere around there is much likelier than April.

The stories themselves are pretty much set -- and have been for a long time, really -- but there's still time to have your voices heard to possibly influence the details, and what I do and don't address.

Damn right! And thank you so much for the kind words :heart:

Also, a note for the thread, since I keep pushing people to read DfO: Discussion of DfO is absolutely welcome in this thread. It's the original forum smut, after all :grin: Optimally, it would still be nominally on topic through comparing or contrasting my stuff with avwolf's -- something I think both of us would like to see -- but if you just want to gush about how awesome it is, I'll allow it :P

This is the horribly confusing part. The second book is called (Knot) Too Late (because the knot on the cover is part of the title), or KTL for short.
KTL contains two stories. The first of those stories is called "Two of a Kind", and its working title was "Too Late." (So, Too Late == Two of a Kind, except sometimes people confuse it for the name of the whole book, which... I don't really blame them for.)
The second story is called "Full House", and its working title was "Not Too Late."

Which leads us back to the multifacetedly awful pun that is the cover :P

*looks at calendar*

Ah well.

Now available in way too many formats:

Read, enjoy (well, maybe!) and if you feel inspired, give me a cover quote!

Also, you may want to watch out for that first story, if you haven't seen it in the thread yet. It means business.

I guess I'll use this as an excuse to list my own views on them!

EPUB is recommended for anyone who generally likes doing the whole ebook thing. (Or alternatively, the AZW3 if you're a Kindle-type person.)

The HTML is pretty nice, but since there's no good mechanism for keeping your place, that's a bit of a drawback / relies on memory.

The PDF format is literally cursed, but I've actually got them to the point where they look pretty good, and having page numbers is really nice for keeping track of where you are. The big PDF is what I'd probably pick myself if I went with PDF, but basically it's just whatever looks better for you on your device. (And if someone wants to print the thing, the big PDF is conveniently letter-sized.)

Finally, justified vs left-aligned is purely a religious matter, for everyone to reach their own conclusion about quietly in their heart.


In other news, it has come to my attention that I've managed to consistently have the name of the wolven capital wrong (;_;) So 'Karnak' in my stories is, in fact, supposed to be 'Karne'. This will be fixed in some future printing.

A bonus story, this time! Should also make a decent standalone even if you haven't gotten into this whole mess, so maybe check it out: About That Apron (NSFW)

Happy Thanksgiving :P

(sofurry link for now, will be collected and properly releasified later)
Edit: Sofurry link is still totally legit, but the story has now been releasified and can also be found in all of the too many formants under the title Bonus Stories.

And here's the second bonus story, which is pretty unique out of my stuff. This should also be a passable standalone, so do check it out! Adult Humor (NSFW)

This is more of a first draft than this stuff usually is, so might still see some editing before final.

(Same deal, sofurry link for now)
Edit: Same deal, the story can now also be found in all of the too many formants under the title Bonus Stories.

Ha! Not only will I take that, I will put it on the actual cover if that's cool with you :grin: (wip)
And thank you for reading!


Anybody else want to go for a spot? You have up through Thursday or so before the cover needs to be final :P

I'm running behind with having all one million alternative formats available, but since 1) I'm the only one who actually cares about that, 2) I do have the story and 3) it's release-time, here we go!

Edit: And we're fully in business, see the next post!

Other formats will be available when they'll be available. For now, Merry Christmas, happy holidays, all that good stuff :)


Also, Dadrobit: Where the hell you at? There's no way you don't have something to say about that previous story :grin:

And here we go, lurching that last bit to the finish line! Bringing you the collected version of the bonus stories, appropriately enough called Bonus Stories:

and the last story in this series, The Day Before Her Birthday:

And so, this is done. Thirty-three months. Five covers. Nine stories. A bit north of 150k words.

Anybody feel like saying anything?

Take a bow, take a drink, take a break, and start thinking of the next project. Because there's always a next project.

Need to pick it back up. I stopped reading at where I messaged you last in Going Far and haven't put in the time yet to finish from there. I really need to do that...
