Current mood: Should be working, doing this instead!
Well hello everybody. I hope life is treating you well. Time for a brief update on my happenings and doings and whatnot. In a bizarre mood today, as you can probably tell!
Tales from Kingswood
Tales from Kingswood continues to progress as planned. For anyone who hasn't read it yet, the latest chapter included the school's annual Halloween Party and I couldn't resist an opportunity to embarrass a couple of the fellas. Don't worry, they enjoyed it as much as you do, the pervs!
New chapters are still on course to be posted weekly, usually on Fridays. That does mean that chapter 40 (the final chapter) will end up being posted shortly before Christmas.
Pacing has been a bit of a challenge for me with Kingswood. Most of my stories tend to happen over short periods, while this one has a full school year for each book. You may have noticed that thirteen chapters in, they were still only just up to the first half-term break. From the current chapters onwards, things start moving a little faster, usually with a week or more between chapters. If you have any thoughts about this as the story goes on, do let me know. I enjoy feedback, but I also learn from it :)
Kingswood Year 8
The Year 8 book is well underway and, as you may have noticed, remains untitled! I was originally going to call the overall series 'Tales from Kingswood' and Year 7 was going to have the subtitle 'Dorm 1.01' but things didn't quite work out, so now I'm looking to come up with a whole new title for Year 8 (and onwards).
Still very much hooked on writing this story and even just a year in, it's wonderful seeing the characters really starting to develop their personalities and interests. I'm currently on track to have Year 8 written by the time Year 7 is fully posted. That would mean I can jump straight into posting it in January, which would be wonderful.
Ideas and Inspirations
While I remain focused on Kingswood, I always have other ideas or urges pop up. Lately I've been thinking a lot about doing another interactive story. For anyone who hasn't seen my previous ones (Brian's Big Mistake, Jake's Exposure and Phil's Naked Adventures), they were stories made up of short chapters which ended each week with a choice. Readers then voted on the choice they wanted and that was what I wrote next. Not sure what the story would be yet, but based on the other three, something humiliation/exposure based seems probable. Watch this space!
I've also been dabbling with an idea inspired by a story on Nifty.org called 'Swim Class Speedos'. It's about a guy who gradually gets manipulated more and more into gay sexual activity with his friend. I love the subtle manipulation in it and would love to write something similar. Current ideas involve two friends away for the Summer, horny but with no suitable female companionship around with one slowly tricking the other into going full-on gay. All just a rough idea that may never happen, but it's where my head's at!
Your Ideas
This page has been going a while now and my 7 (at time of writing) patrons may not seem colossal, but to me it's huge. A thank you again to all of you! That said, if you have any suggestions or ideas for stuff you'd like to see me putting on here, shout up. Not prmoising I can do it, but as my dad always says, 'If you don't ask, you don't get!'
