I'm not sure, but probably in the next month or two. I'm working on some other stories at the same time.
Sorry for the slow response. I'm traveling, and my access to the internet has been spotty.

Hey, all. Not too much to report this week; have been kind of busy getting ready to go out of town to teach a class. Also, still waiting on the beta of TMTM chapter 4; beta said he was halfway through it when I checked with him a week ago, so hopefully it will be ready soon.
SWP1, haven’t heard about the police drone. Maybe I’ll search it.

Hey, all. Spent this weekend at a convention for scifi and fantasy writers, learning about everything from how to start plotting a novel to the mechanics of self-publishing. It was great.
Still waiting to hear back about chapter 4 of “The More, the Merrier.” I just sent my beta a message to make sure he actually received it.
Probably the next thing I’ll finish is chapter 9 of “Country Summer.” It’s Franny’s birthday, and her party is gonna get wild...before it even starts!
SWP1, there is actually a review response thread for “The More, the Merrier” – it’s just a bit empty right now. You can find it here. And I hope you had a good Mother’s Day.

I do think Rey is a Mary Sue (she just seems to know everything instinctively about being a Jedi), but I still think the current trilogy is pretty good. I’m glad Lando will be back. (Billy Dee Williams has aged rather well, it seems.)
My moniker aside, “They called me Mr. Glass” is my favorite last line from a movie.

I know they’re doing it. Fuck ‘em. The Last Jedi was a good film too. My neice fuckin’ loved it. My favorite of the new films was Rogue One though. That was a hell of a good film.
Heh, I hope he comes back with “Please, call me George. Mr. Glass was the bad guy in Unbreakable.” I kid I kid…

Oh man, SW ep 9 trailer was epic. Lando’s back too! I don’t fucking get all these assholes hatin’ on Rey.

Made lots of progress on chapter 4 of The More, the Merrier this week. I decided to move a couple of scenes into the next chapter, because the this chapter is getting pretty long as it is. I hope to be finished with it pretty soon.
SWP1, I agree with you about Endgame. I already bought tickets to see it this weekend. (The theater lets you choose your seats in advance, which is nice because that way you don’t have to show up really early just to get a good seat.) Looking forward to Godzilla: King of the Monsters, too. I had low expectations when I watched Kong: Skull Island, but I ended up liking it a lot, and I liked the Godzilla movie, too. (I loved that the arthouse theater where I saw it put “Gojira” on the marquee.) And the trailer for SW ep 9 looks pretty sweet, what with Rey charging a TIE fighter on foot. 
Hope everyone’s weekend is off to a good start.

That would have been my second guess.
What? No! New vocabulary words are gold, at least ones that I could see myself using the next time I talk to my English-major sister.

Well, I had to look that up, but tragically no.  It actually looked like a small apartment in Florida with lights that never seemed bright enough, and a dog who had a creeping sense of separation anxiety.
Ain’t nobody debating the hotness of Mizore!   Though I will say there’s something kind of funny about calling a spirit associated with snow “hot.”  As for the yuki-onna themselves, I’ve done a bit of research into them, along with other yokai, for a story I’m writing (no idea if I’ll pull it off, but I’m shooting for “creepy romance”), and there are a lot of different depictions depending, it seems, on what region of Japan you’re in.  Sometimes yuki-onna are terrifying (some stories have them stealing children or eating children’s livers), sometimes they’re just kind of sad, and sometimes they’re both (the aforementioned Snow Bride story), so authors have a lot of leeway in terms of how to portray them.
Sorry!  That was my fault; I should have just said “reapers” or “guides to the afterlife” or something.

Wow, what’s it like there? I’m picturing damp stone walls, bare bulbs dangling from the ceiling...basically Drusselstein.
I learned about yuki-onna from watching Rosario + Vampire.  (I don’t watch a lot of anime, but now and then one sucks me in.) I thought the young yuki-onna Mizore was hot, and I liked the concept – sort of sirens of the snow.
Thanks! Sticking to the limit definitely took some doing.
(Full disclosure: I had to look up “psychopomp” at Dictionary.com.) I have the idea that members of Hisashi’s family have been doing this for a few generations at least. (They’re prone to cancer, but it doesn’t tend to strike until they are in their 40s or 50s, after they’ve had kids.) They know where to go to find a yuki-onna; then she gets a meal, and the terminally ill man gets a pleasant death. 
Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Of course it’s weird. That’s why I like it.

SWP1: The next and final chapter of Little Rose is going to take a bit longer than the previous chapters, because unlike them, there wasn't any material already written for this chapter; I only started writing text for it a couple of weeks ago. I haven't written any of the "action" scenes yet. 
Had a nice Easter dinner with friends. Hope you had a good Easter, too.

For GeorgeGlass’ comments on Mabel Pines Saves Christmas!:
I’ve always been rather pleased with how this one came together, so I’m very glad that you found it fun!
Rest assured, a Northwest always collects on her debts. That three-way is coming like a freight train...a very slow freight train that’s made a lot of unexpected stops and detours, but is definitely on its way! Trust me, there are good reasons for this chapter coming first.   The long delay in between...not so much. But it’s definitely on the horizon!
Mabel is just 100% pleasure to write, or at least that what I found. And her misinterpreting Wendy’s Christmas feast, her festive underwear, her afterglow lines, it’s all just so fun and full of that essential ‘Mabel-ness.’ It makes me very happy to know that you got a kick out of her in this as well.
As for Wendy, yeah, her confession about missing her younger bod is the kind of thing that hits some particularly high notes for me as well...great minds think alike and all that.  That little revelation is also one of the reasons for not diving right back into Pacifica & Dipper that I mentioned. 
Well, I do feel like I’ve got a bit of fire lit underneath me to come back to this story now. (Famous last words) But whenever the next part does come out, I hope you’ll enjoy it as well! (It’s actually a New Year’s Eve story, but I refuse to be a slave to the calendar! )

People are real polite here. Other people, I mean. I’m pretty unpleasant.

Thank you! Our forum staff works hard to make sure this is a welcoming place, and I know they’ll love hearing from you!

Can I just say it's really nice to have a forum and a writing forum especially where the atmosphere is generally pretty comfortable as well as actually helpful? Like I feel perfectly fine asking staff or other posters a question or for advice, because I’d actually get legit answers with no drama attached. I've been on plenty of forums before, and this is one of the very few that I feel like I'm going to be sticking with. For some reason I've noticed that people who are open about writing adult material come off as much less high-strung then people who don't (or who loudly proclaim to be against it).
TL;DR: Just wanted to show my appreciation to AFF’s forums for being a non-toxic place (if it is, then it’s very well-hidden, lol). I don’t see that very often.

But you had to wait for season 3 for the legend that is Reg Barclay, played by none other than "Howling Mad" Murdock himself Dwight Schultz!

Given the sheer, insane volume of your work, I really figured I shouldn’t stop looking through it just because I didn’t like some of the stories.  Heck, there can be stories in the same series that net different reactions from me.
That’s pretty neat.  I caught a mention of “beach glass” and “fish” at the beginning of the story, but it never occurred to me that the deities were based on actual people.  I actually just assumed the King of the Mists was a reference to your loli stories. 
At the risk of sounding weird...well weirder, that’s actually exactly what I like about “nursing” like that: beyond the purely sexual aspect, it’s a warm, soothing form of intimate contact, for both partners.  I’m a big fan of gentle affection (hugs, cuddling), and nursing has always felt like part of that, an act that bridges erotic and emotional intimacy.
That’s just in general.  As you said, it’s even more powerful in the context of the story, given Tony’s parental neglect and Annie and Cherisse’s maternal attitudes.
So yeah...sorry if that was weird. 
No problem!   There’s another story of yours I’ll be reviewing fairly soon.  It’s going to be a few days, though, since I won’t have internet for a few days, and while I wrote this post on my phone, I really don’t like writing reviews on it.

Re: A Beach Like No Other
From InBrightestDay on April 18, 2019
 No problem. I’m happy to have a review on any of them, any time!
We all have our  things. I’m glad you weren’t so turned off by Guidelines et al that you stopped reading my stories all together.
The contrast is deliberate. Tony really appreciates their kindness because he knows too well what the lack of it is like.
Because the story is sort of a tribute to the art of Glassfish, I wanted to include her in the story in some way, and making her the creator of the Beach seemed appropriate. (Also, the bit about the King of the Mists is a nod to the artist Fogbank, who mainly draws pics of lolis cavorting with adult men.)
I like to mix different kinds of desires. Tony’s “nursing” on Cherisse is a sexual thing, but at the same time, it’s a reflection of his wish for a real mother figure, which Cherisse (and Annie) provide, in a way.
I’m glad you enjoyed it and that you appreciate the spirit in which it was written. Thanks very much for the review!

TNG definitely got off to a wobbly start, but it improves substantially in the second season: fewer stories cribbed from TOS, better-defined roles for the characters, better uniforms, and Riker grows that awesome beard.
