Whereas some people stress-eat, I stress-write. Between dealing with my parents’ deaths and some nasty stuff at work, the first thing I want to do when I get home is throw myself into my imaginary worlds. 
As a result, I’m finishing things left and right. I’ve just posted “Imaginary Tokyo” (in which a man describes his travels in a land where anime tropes come to life), and tomorrow I expect to post the first chapter of “Mia: Confessions of a Dickgirl.” And I think the next chapter of “Country Summer” will be ready very soon after that. 

As with most of the stories on the List of Twenty right now, progress on the next chapters of TMTM and “Little Rose” is slow but steady.
Here’s what currently appears to be closest to being finished:
--Chapter 7 of “Country Summer”
--Chapter 3 of “Auntie’s Home”
--”Imaginary Tokyo”
--Chapter 1 of an as-yet untitled dickgirl story

The alternate ending of “Splinter” is posted! I think readers who were hoping for something darker are going to like it. I certainly enjoyed writing it.
Of course, as one story drops off the List of Twenty, a new one leaps on to take its place: “Wishful.” My friend Jomahawk, who has beta-read for me for years and has asked for very little in return, offered to commission me to write it, but because I don’t do commissions, I’m doing it as a thank-you.  
 
 

Yesterday, I had another one of those decision-paralysis moments in which I couldn’t decide which story to work on, so I decided to do another cycle through them all. That usually takes me at least a couple of days, but I’m nearly through the list now. 
The next thing I’ll finish will probably be the penultimate chapter of “The Miss Cutie Patootie Pageant.” The next chapters of “The More, the Merrier” and “Little Rose” are likely to follow. 
Howdy. My weekend was uneventful, but that was fine; I really needed to relax. And yours?

Oh, yes, Dr. Hirano definitely chose those tight yoga pants to be appealing as well as functional. 

I initially filled in the chart with what each character was wearing in “Hot Yoga,” just to give myself a place to start with regard to their wardrobe choices. Then I looked at the Phineas and Ferb Wiki to see what Pedro and Sally wear. (Being typical cartoon characters, they always wear the same outfit.) Roger always wears a suit on the show, but he wouldn't wear that to “yoga class,” so I just made up an appropriate outfit for him.
Clothing is a little bit important in this story because it shows how the situation has evolved since the events of “Hot Yoga.” In that story, everyone was dressed for an exercise class; they didn't know it was going to turn into an orgy. This time, in contrast, everyone knows what they're getting into (except maybe Sally and Pedro), so although they are still dressed for the exercise class that everyone else in their lives thinks they are going to, what they have on underneath may not be merely jockeys and sports bras.

Made good progress on the next chapter of “The More, the Merrier” tonight, this time mainly with regard to Balthazar, Melanie, and Roger. Also spent some time on the Victoria’s Secret site for research purposes. (Is it better or worse when that’s actually the truth?  )
This story is chart-intensive. Not only is every chapter outlined, but I have a big table showing what each character is wearing (top, under top, bottom, under bottom), and each item of clothing is color-coded according to the chapter in which the character takes that item off. (I decided this was necessary after I discovered that in “Hot Yoga,” I mistakenly had Jenny take her pants off twice.)

Glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you’re liking it.

Re: “Auntie’s Home”
Well, that’s not ALL that’s left...

I guess I should ‘splain my motivation for starting this thread. I’m working on turning my story “Eddie Forever” into a legitimate novel, and at one point, the MCs hear a song by the villain (who moonlights as a hip-hop artist) on the radio, which helps them figure out who the villain is.
Because the hero and villain only interact a few times during the story, I thought it might be useful to actually write and include the lyrics to “Burn It Down” as a way of giving the reader a little more insight into what’s going on in the villain’s head. But I don’t want to do that if it’s just going to end up being a mental speed bump for readers.
I wrote a couple of original songs for my Loud House fic “The Miss Cutie Patootie Pageant,” and a couple of people mentioned liking them, so I feel like maybe it can work. Or maybe there were a hundred other readers who didn’t like the songs at all but didn’t want to say so.

So I recently read Patrick Rothfuss’ The Name of the Wind, and I noticed that although the main character is a bard (among other things), there aren’t any song lyrics in the book. The author sometimes describes what the songs are about, but we never see the actual words. 
That got me thinking: Is it a good idea or a bad idea to write song lyrics for a fic? Unless it’s a “sung to the tune” of kind of song,* the reader won’t know how the melody goes. But maybe readers will make up their own; I don’t know.
Thoughts?
*Or, in the case of the Hogwarts school song, a “pick any tune you want” song

Can do! Thank you for the interest. I keep making little changes to it and then changing again. Come the end of the week I’ll just say fuck it and stick it up anyway
 

This sounds like something I might like. Will you give us a heads-up when it’s posted?

Taking a different route. I’ve re-written one of my old stories as an Original story for the first time, and stuck in a cameo from Kizzy and the team. It’s currently about twice as long as the original while still maintaining the PWP urgency. I’ve been very careful that the new characters have nothing in common with the original story except for still being brother and sister. I’ve made them twins, and changed details of age and height and build and setting and lots more. It’s hackwork, to be sure, but no worse than if someone changed a Twilight fanfic to an original one.
The working title is Twinpregnation and I have finished several drafts (and before I finished it the first time, several more) and I feel I need to read it through a little more, after a break, to check for more spelling errors. This is one I’ve got a really good feeling about. There’s no violence and it might even qualify for a WAFF tag. Though that could be a step too far. I hope to post it by next weekend!

So I came up with a story centered on mass family incest during Thanksgiving. But I’m having trouble thinking of a a title. Any ideas? 
Just tell me if you need more information 

A few off-the-top-of-my-head ideas:
A Family Holiday
Thanksgiving Stuffing
Dressing, and Undressing
A Feast for the Senses

SWP1, because this is a review of “Hot Yoga,” I’m going to respond to it in my review-reply thread for that story here.

Hey there. I consider a story active if it has made it beyond the “idea” stage and has actually been outlined or written to any degree. Although some of these projects take years to finish, I plan to finish each of them eventually. 
Just for the heck of it, here is my list of currently active stories: 
In progress and partly posted (multi-chapter):
1.    Country Summer
2.    Delta Delta Delta
3.    Make It All Better
4.    Multiversity
5.    Splinter
6.    Auntie’s Home
7. The Miss Cutie Patootie Pageant
In progress, not yet posted (multi-chapter):
8.    Bad Mother
9.    Keene’s College Weekend
10.    Little Rose
11.    The Power Arcane: An Erotic Anthology
12.    The More, the Merrier
13.    Untitled dick girl story
In progress, not yet posted (one-shot):
14.    Goldilocked
15.    The Happiest Place
16.    Imaginary Tokyo
17.    Untitled sequel to “Miss Match”
18.    A Sweet Little Girl Like You (Raffle story)
19.    Apprentice
In progress, collaboration:
20.    Tales from the Glory Wormhole
Actually, it’s “Splinter” that I’m writing the final chapter of; “Multiversity” has 3 chapters left to go. The next thing I expect to post, though, is the next chapter of “Auntie’s Home,” which is currently in beta.
Sorry—I meant to answer that question the first time you asked it. The answer, though, is that it’s almost impossible for me to say how long it takes me to write a chapter, because I’m always jumping from one story to another. (I have ADHD, and that’s the only way I can manage to be consistently productive.) I even jump among chapters of the same story; for example, I’ve written at least a little bit of text for each chapter of “The More, the Merrier.” Of course, I preferentially work on earlier chapters, but if a scene in a later chapter has written itself out in detail in my head, I strike while the iron is hot and write it down.
Have a good one.

Reply to Star wars player 1’s review:
Thank you!
On the show, Melanie is generally portrayed as a bored office drone, and I thought it would be fun to write about what might lie beneath that blasé exterior. Then I decided that in her heart of hearts, she's into young boys (and, to a lesser extent, teenage girls), and that Jenny's special incense was going to set those impulses loose in a big way. 
I hadn't used shifting perspectives much before then, so I thought that would be fun to try. Also, it would enable me to better describe what the characters were experiencing.
Thanks!
Part of why I chose Dr. Hirano to include in the story was because of my "mother's duty" fetish (ie, I'm into moms who teach their kids first-hand about sex). She has a sultry voice (courtesy of Ming-Na Wen, who voices her), and I could easily imagine her using that voice to instruct her daughters and Coltrane in the finer points of lovemaking. And I wanted Coltrane to have a role because we don't see much of him on the show even though he is ostensibly Stacy's boyfriend.
Yeah, I'm into that too.
I don't have plans to continue with that, but there's a forthcoming scene in "Auntie's Home" that that brief scene with Dr. Hirano and Baljeet inspired. 
Yes, we'll get a good look at the evolution of that four-way relationship in this story.
I figured, this is the girl who went on a "Save the pigeons" campaign, so she's got to be an animal lover. Plus, she's a total granola with lots of far-out ideas, so it's pretty easy to take her in crazy directions sexually.
You too! And thanks for the review. 

I just saw a quote from fantasy writer Scott Lynch that made me think of “The Man in the Tree”: 
“Elegant worldbuilding is the act of using little things to invite big inferences.
When you tell us that a woman in a fictional world has bought an apple from a vendor, you have also told us (if we care to make the inferences) about farmer, orchard, tree, and seed.”
