January 2024 Updates

Hello, my generous supporters. Happy new year! Thank you for staying with me into 2024. I have so much news to share with you. There are many changes happening with my writing and publishing, and I want to detail all of them to you here.

Firstly, I apologize for there not being a Next Story Idea Poll last month. I simply forgot about it. Sorry. It was a bit of a crazy month, and I was mainly focused on writing the stories I had already promised to complete. I will have a new poll up this month for sure.

Secondly, a number of people have left Patreon, due to changes in the way the platform moderates content. That has made me rethink how I use the platform as a place for you to support me and read my stories early. I would like to move away from publishing here altogether, but right now, I don’t see a better alternative that is either not as restrictive in moderation or not as easy to accept payments without confusing currency exchanges. I welcome any suggestions for where you would prefer me to publish my work. For now, I plan to use Patreon as my main communication hub and to continue publishing stories here. However, I may begin deleting stories from here that may get be seen as inappropriate. To keep those stories available, I have created a Discord server.

Thirdly, my lostandwhatever Discord server is open and now has content published on it, including PDF copies of recent stories and the full Edits COYA story in the form a Google Doc with bookmark links. Much like with how I use Patreon, supporters here and members on Ko-fi have early access to these stories on Discord through the “Subscribers” role if you have your Discord account linked where you pay. I recommend all my supporters link their Discord accounts either here or on Ko-fi. Message me if you want an invite to the Discord as I don’t plan on making a link publicly available to avoid spammers. Unfortunately, I don’t have a way to conduct polls through Discord, but I will take into consideration messages from Ko-fi supporters when picking what I write next. This is not a perfect solution and may change in time, but it is the best I could come up with for now.

Finally, I continue to work on completing stories, with the final chapters of Mary being my main focus for now. I want to have them published in the next month.

Now, check out the list of what I plan to write and publish soon:

1. Mary Christmas 2 (The Ending) - Christmas never has to end but this story does. This one could qualify as my first serious extended story. After all the years since starting it, it is finally time to finish the tale. I am committed to realizing the vision I had for it so long ago.
2. Teen Witch: Principal - (TG, AR, AP, Mental Changes) - Esme gets in trouble, again. This time she needs to deal with her principal, a strict, domineering woman. Esme arranges for some role reversal with her, as well as a bit of gender reversal and regression. (I asked poll voters to give me an idea for a very short story. They requested AR and TG. However, there were no ideas provided, so I decided to go with this brief Esme scene I came up with recently. I hope to have it ready soon.)
3. Babysitter Girlfriend - (Next Chapter) - (Male AR to baby, diapers) A teen boy wants to date a cute teen girl. Unfortunately, her parents forbid her from dating and keep a close eye on where she goes. However, some dark forces can transform the boy into a baby, so she can pretend to babysit him. (This one has gotten much darker as I plotted it out. In fact, it might end up as one of my darkest stories when it is done. I think you will enjoy it.)
4. Fountain of Youth Water Park - (AR, AP, Uneven) What if the fountain of youth were a water park, a secret place where people go to change themselves for a vacation? The slides will make you younger, while the stairs will make you older. The other attractions have different unusual effects. What will become of a pair of families when they unwittingly enter this magic water park?
5. My Best Friend the Witch: Boyfriend (AP, AR, TG, Shrinking, Growth, Reality Alteration) Esme needs a boyfriend for a party. Since no guy is willing to do it, she transforms her friend into a guy to fill the role. Unfortunately, her friend starts absorbing the maturity and masculinity of the other guys at the party, transforming everyone’s lives in the process. Expect to see a lot of age and size changes as well as some unusual relationship dynamics with teen girls being stuck with very youthful boyfriends.
6. Babysitter Reversal - (TG, AR, Mental Changes, Reality Changes) - A 30-something-year-old man and the 19-year-old teen girl babysitter he's cheating on his wife with are punished as the babysitter is turned into elementary school age girl and the man is turned into a teen girl and older sister and babysitter of the now elementary age girl.
7. Chronological - (AR Story) - A character wakes up one day in their own body from when they were a child. The next day, they wake up as a teenager. The day after, a baby. It becomes clear that they have begun traveling through time, living their life out of order for some reason. Will they figure out how to get back to the present? (Not sure if I want a male or female protagonist for this one. Would be happy to try non-binary even. Let me know what you would prefer.)
8. Virtual Escape - (AR, AP, Shrinking, Growth, Animal, Mind Control) A teen girl’s immersive virtual reality experience is hacked by her bratty younger brother. What will she do when he decides to put her through some humiliating physical and mental transformations?
9. Vacation Body: Dolly - (Doll TF, Inanimate, Shrinking Woman) For her vacation, a woman buys a spell that will shrink her to doll-size and occasionally transform her into an actual doll. She enjoys some play time with her boyfriend before being doll-napped by her little niece. Will she be able to get home again? What might her naughty nephew do to her before then? (This could become a series with different TFs.)
10. The Kinky Wizard’s Ring: New Story Arc - (Shortstack TF, Shrinking, TG) Mo has some new problems. She has been transformed into a little green-skinned goblin. She has also lost the magic ring after insulting the wizard. It looks as though she will be stuck that way until a little pixie appears at the bistro. It turns out that the pixie is a transformed person now stuck wearing the ring and wants to get rid of it. The wizard asked to be returned to Mo, but will he go back? And, what secrets does the pixie have to hide?
11. My Roommate Turned Into a Genie - (TG, Size, Age, Animal) A frat-boy type guy is transformed into a pretty blonde woman genie when his roommate tries to summon a genie to be his wish-granting slave. Despite his new body and supernatural powers, the genie dude keeps on acting and dressing like a total bro, more interested in video gaming and sports than warping the fabric of reality. He can grant wishes, if you offer him some beer, but watch out. He was never the smartest guy, and his wishes tend to go a bit wrong. What misadventures will they get into now?
12. Teen Witch: Toes - (AR, AP, Muscle, Feet) Some boys in Esme’s class request she give them a way to grow bigger and stronger. She takes their money and casts a spell. However, they are shocked to learn that the spell will only transform them if they suck on a girl’s toes. They refuse to do it until they discover that they will get smaller and weaker (and younger) if they don’t suck toes. Most of them give in and do it, but one of the boys is too stubborn and keeps getting younger. How young will he get? Will he ever get to suck a girl’s toes to grow up again?

The Next Story Idea Poll for February will be posted around January 18th. Anyone paying $3 or more can vote in the polls, and, if you have paid at least $5, you can add an idea to the next poll. Message me here or on Discord or send an email to me at lostandwhatever@gmail.com before the 18th.
