Just finished the first draft of “Devan: Deflowered” for the Web Shorts page here on the website.
Also have about 2800 words written on “Friend of the Wood”, which I hope will be this year’s Earth Day story for the contest at Lit.
So, after my long zombie period, I’m finally getting some writing done. Going to chill out for a little bit, and then get back to the wood. I’ll let Devan sit for a day or two before I go in to do my first pass edit.
I added a new genre to the series listing on My Work for Les Lumens: “Poly/Group Sex”.
With this inclusion, I’ve moved “Thricegiving” and “Center Piece” to the new genre from “Other Les”
As I add new stories that have a similar genre to existing ones, I’ll create these groupings and move them out of the catch-all that is “other”.
The long work hours are still kicking my ass. It gets a little better as time goes on, but it takes some adjusting to. I’m not as young as I used to be.
I’m on vacation this week, though. With any luck, I’ll get some rest and relaxation, which will let me take advantage of the quiet time to finally get some writing done.
I’m sure as hell not going outside much. It’s bloody freezing! *laugh*
“Documentary: Cougar” is now on Lushstories!

It’s looking like the biggest part of my stories as Dark aren’t going to go up at Lush. Reading more closely through the guidelines, it appears that they pretty much require sex in every chapter of a story, and anything violent is taboo, whether it’s related to the sex or not.
So, for instance, Merchant Princess won’t work on multiple levels. Odds are that the first chapter would get rejected for lack of consent during the scene where Alicia has to sacrifice her dignity for a chance to escape her captors — even though she’s never actually touched.
The second chapter has no sex, and she has to kill one of her kidnappers when he finds her and threatens to do the same.
So on and so forth.
A few such as Genie Valentine, King Thakkorias, Queen Alicia, etc. are within guidelines, but the best stories that have actual story are just too much for Lush’s sensibilities, it seems.
Not going to change the tales to meet their guidelines, so those stories just won’t post there. It’s much the way that “Sister’s Shadow” is a Storiesonline exclusive — and will remain so — because it would likely get rejected by Lush for violence and non-consent. I couldn’t post it at Lit because I felt Danica had to be 16 in that story, which didn’t meet their guidelines.
Going to try to get some writing done on Lowborn today.
“Mom’s Stocking Stuffer” is now up at Lush.

Wasn’t able to finish His Christmas Wish, and there’s no chance of it making it out on Lit now, so I’ll probably file it away to finish next year. My work hours are up by 25-50%, and it’s taking me a while to adjust.
Musing the next Magic of the Wood, but as far as writing, I’m working on SOTM and Lowborn when I have time and enough presence of mind to write.
Finding Karen is now up at Lushstories. You can find it right here: Finding Karen
Give it a read and a vote!
Still trying to finish “His Christmas Wish” but work doesn’t seem to want to cooperate with me there. This jump in hours is really getting to me. Realistically, there’s no way it will post before Christmas if I don’t manage to finish it tomorrow.
Starting to look like this one may sit in the folder until next year. *sigh*
