Update 17th October (Patreon)

Up and down week.

In the first half I put out the v0.025 release of House of Hellish Harlots.  This is an interim, mid-month release that adds the missing cures for Lips Fetish and other ailments, as well as fixing some bugs with the tweaked selection algorithms.

I haven't heard any complaints of bugs, so I'm hoping that version is stable.  Next week I'll look to update the public site and see if I can do a little more promo to bring it to people's attention.

After that I looked into finishing off a new short story for Literotica's Halloween competition.  That didn't click, unfortunately.  I found I'd written more than I thought and was initially positive I might be able to get it done.  As I was typing that up I was hit with the nagging sensation something wasn't working.  It was the same feeling that had caused me to stop working on it a while back.

One of the characters isn't right.  It's an interesting story idea as it has a monster girl (a cushionblob slime girl) need to co-operate with a human soldier to survive some more powerful succubi.  The problem is the story also needs her to use her slime girl abilities to fuck the soldier's brains out in a very dominant way.  The trouble is she's a bit too nice at the start so it doesn't have that ambiguity of something like "Locked in with a Succubus" or the early chapters of "Succubus Summoning 101", where the reader should have some doubts over whether the protagonist is going to survive.

A couple of days dragged into the rest of the week trying to fix it, and then I put a hard stop on it as I realised I was making a similar mistake to last year of letting myself get sucked away on other projects.  This time I remembered to leave a note with what needs to be done to get the story back on the right track.  I might quietly go back to it at some point.

That was a bit disappointing overall.  Working on House of Hellish Harlots has improved my discipline and productivity, and I was hoping to bring that to short story writing.  Not quite yet.  I will make some spare time and keep at it, though.

For now it's back to House of Hellish Harlots and more work on harlots.  I finished typing up the last remaining scene for the boobfairy.  I'll look to start implementing her next week.  I also typed up more of Misty (the fog succubus from the original demo).  Her scenario will be fairly short and straightforward, but I do need a few of those to balance out the longer ones!

Thanks for the interest and support!
