Update 21st Sep '25
Added 2025-09-21 13:09:45 +0000 UTCAfter a wobble, I got things moving again.
I typed up about 7,000 words of the [succubus tablet] story. About four and a half of the sub-stories are typed up, which still leaves the 6th piece and a lot of short interludes that move the plot to the climax.
I'm really happy with how the collection is snapping together. It reinforces how most of these stories are taking place in a shared setting, and you'll get to see various characters move in and out of stories and hint at their own plots taking place in the background. The danger of this is it might confuse first-time readers, but I have a way to fix that. The [succubus tablet] story is the main spine of the collection, with separate parts sprinkled through it. Various recurring characters will show up in some of the parts, but I'll also be able to place a standalone short story featuring them before their appearance in the main story, so they shouldn't feel like characters coming in 'from the cold' so to speak.
It's a complicated little puzzle, but it is coming together very nicely.
The one story that is being a little slow is the Nicole story. It's a direct sequel to "Incall with a Succubus" and also ties into some of the other characters and plots. I just need to figure out the sex scene at the moment, while also keeping it understandable for people that haven't read "Incall".
There is still a fair bit of work to do - mainly in typing up and editing. I still want the majority of it done in September so I can get back to HoHH as fast as possible. This means I'm going to have to work my ass off next week! To remove distractions, I'll skip the art previews and you might not hear much from me until the usual update post next Sunday - hopefully with the news the collection is pretty much done aside from editing and formatting.
Right, back to it.
Thanks for the interest and support.
