After all the recent negativity over Patreon being a bunch of Orwellian cunts, here's me trying to be positive with plans for 2019.
2018 (and 2017) were a little weird. In terms of word count I'm still producing a decent amount of content. In total word count, "2019-01-02 13:51:25 +0000 UTC View Post
Thank you to the people sending me comments over the past couple of days.
In case you were unaware, Patreon have been de-platforming creators on what appear to be ideological or political grounds. I object strongly to this for both ethical and practical reasons.
Ethically, I bel...
2018-12-31 16:58:13 +0000 UTC View PostFirst up, apologies for the quietness this December. Some other-life stuff cropped up at the start of the month and by the time I was through it I was caught up in the holidays.
And then Patreon decided to shit the bed…
I'm not going to go into it in grea...
2018-12-28 18:30:40 +0000 UTC View PostApologies for the belated update. I've had some dental work done which has knocked me about a bit (having bits of metal screwed into your skull will do that!).
So, what has Hydra been up to?
As part of my commitment to patrons, I've been looking at posting story i...
2018-11-30 12:59:08 +0000 UTC View PostBit of a late update post as I've been fighting off winter lurgy for most of the week. As a result things have been a little spotty this week. I have a free weekend, though, so I'm hoping to catch up again.
The booby monster story is into the sexy snu-snu phase. I don't think she...
2018-11-17 20:14:22 +0000 UTC View PostA quick update post as I'm away this weekend.
The boob monster short story is progressing nicely. I managed to wrestle the back story to roughly where I want it and now it's time to give the protagonist some fun in the boob dimension. I'm aiming to try and give patrons somet...
2018-11-09 12:37:46 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, I did say I'd give patrons some insight into my creative process. Although I... uh... might have gone into greater detail and length than I originally planned on this one (it was supposed to go up on Monday). I've also added it as a word .doc as it's probably a little too long to b...
2018-11-07 14:05:14 +0000 UTC View PostI'm currently creating passages and flinging them around in Twine for the next CYOA scenario. Working title at the moment is "Escape Petalina's Flower Show". I'm not sure what Petalina is and I don't think the CYOA will clear this up. She looks elfin, likes gardening, and is quite ...
2018-11-02 11:05:57 +0000 UTC View Post(or should that be Bubblicious. Hmm....)
As part of my continued efforts to try and offer something more to patrons (you will get semi-exclusive stories at some point!) I thought I'd open up the ideas file.
One of the best bits of advice I can to an aspiring writer (or any other creat...
2018-10-29 23:52:34 +0000 UTC View PostWhoops. I think my last post might have come across a little more flippant than I intended, as it looks like I lost a couple of you. My fault, I'll have to put out more juicy succubus smutness to win you back.
And on that subject. I didn't think I was going to make 2018-10-24 17:10:24 +0000 UTC View Post
I was abducted. They did... things to me.
Just kidding. I took a little vidya break to recharge the batteries and it seems to have worked as a short story I've been stuck on for a while appears to have unlocked. It might be the entrant I get done for Literotica's Halloween compet...
2018-10-20 16:17:04 +0000 UTC View Post"Escape Volumpula, the Pink Jelly" is out. If you're a patron, you can grab that file from the previous post.
Please let me know what you think - what worked, what didn't (and most importantly - let me know if anything seems broken!)
After completing these things I usually like to revi...
2018-10-04 14:01:26 +0000 UTC View PostWhew. That took longer than expected. I'll have to take a look at my work process and see where I can improve things for future scenarios.
The CYOA scenario is ready though. I'm going to make it available early to patrons (because you lovely people gave me money to make this...
Whew. I'm glad I asked on that. No credits or Opt-in seems to be the more popular option.
Okay, so I'll tentatively go Opt-in. If you don't mind being on a list of patrons included at the end of the CYOA, let me know in the comments with the handle you'd like me to use.
If...
Okay, this is the second, patron-only, post I alluded to in the weekly update post.
I'm not far from release. This will be the first thing I've put out since starting up the Patreon. I'...
Here is the weekly update. As with all things coding, things take longer than I think.
I'm now at the debugging stage. So far the easy stuff looks fine - a few formatting fixes, editing typos, etc.
Sugarcube for Twine does have a few quirks related to arrays. I'm read...
Actually, it isn't. However, my estimations at how long things will take...
Turns out there was a little bit more than just plugging text into the existing skeleton. There was also a hefty bit of formatting and some tinkering with conditional logic.
The CYOA scenario breaks ...
It's been a little slow and sludgy. For some reason I always run into productivity problems whenever a phase/chapter/story runs longer than I'd like, and the last week or so has been a bit of a brutal crawl.
The majority of the scenes are now all typed up. I'd say all of them are done,...
2018-09-05 13:54:40 +0000 UTC View PostSluggish is probably the best description for progress.
Like I'm stuck in a big ball of her jelly and trying to run for it. She's not letting me go...
It is progressing though, just a little slower than I'd like.
I made a slight error with a couple of the sex acts. O...
Been bounced around on real-life work related things last few days, but on the positive side all the waiting around in airports and flying did allow me to get the 1st draft of the Escape the Pink Jelly CYOA written. It nearly filled the whole notebook. I'm curious to see what the final w...
2018-08-15 15:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostWork on "Escape the Pink Jelly Girl" is progressing. I'm currently in a weird hybrid state of typing up the various passage entries while still writing the final scenes. (This normally happens when some scenes are proving a little awkward to write - I move to the 2nd draft stage and give...
2018-07-25 11:37:55 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome. If I've got this right, this should be visible to patrons only.
First, thank you very much for supporting me. It is much appreciated.
This is where I will be posting updates as well as some original content. You will also get to see work before I officially r...
