Yes, I actually reread “Bell of the Ball” before I read “Afterparty Pressure.” And I’m halfway through “Mabel Pines Saves Christmas!” Looking forward to seeing whether she succeeds.

Hey, all. Earlier this week, I sent a draft of chapter 6 of “Auntie’s Home” to my friend and beta Jomahawk, who pointed out some issues that I’m now fixing. I hope to post the new chapter tomorrow night. I’ve also made good progress on the next chapters of “Little Rose” and “Country Summer,” and scattered progress on three different upcoming chapters of “Wishful.” The “Little Rose” chapter will almost certainly be the next thing finished. SWP1: I haven’t seen Shazam yet, but maybe this weekend. I also want to see Us. And then, of course, Endgame.

Yeah, it would be fun to see Joan actually get it on with her many-limbed friend, but even the fantasy was pretty nice. As for Bruce, at his age, he might have to be “The Evil Granddad.”

Under Joan's Bed was one of those stories I meant to try and do more parts for and never got around too. Seem to have lost my plan for it, but I remember the spider under the bed was going to have a role, too, also as a friend to Joan. Maybe now I’m picking at the prompts again I might try and reconstruct some of it, at least take a shot at some of the graphic tentacle content that the summary and codes suggest without really delivering on. Thanks for the review! Joan certainly thought about getting that friend into a specific low place in the shower. I’m glad you liked the ending, I think I had a bit of fun coming up with that. If I ever do write more the Daddy will show up and things’ll go badly. The spider might well get involved. Also, if someone ever did a parody called “The Evil Dead” they probably could get Bruce to star in it Thanks again!

For GeorgeGlass’ comments on Afterparty Pressure: Firstly, thank you again for reading and commenting, always a pleasure! I was always rather proud of the ‘apples made of fire’ line, so I’m glad you got a kick out of it too! If I’m going to give a character a big secret kink like that, I usually like to try and give at least a little explanation for it...it’s more satisfying that way, I think. Plus I quite like the idea of lil’ Wendy and Tambry taking their big wheels to a secluded spot for some fun. <3 Pacifica owes a lot of her portrayal in this story to Fairy Slayer’s portrayal of her in ‘Bell of the Ball.’ (I mean, this was a follow-up to that story, so, obviously, right? )But she was so sweet and earnest in that, I wanted to try my hand at her as well. And, given my personal predilections, I guess that sweet earnestness made me want to put her through the wringer a bit. >:D I like characters that are stronger and better than they think they are, right up until their backs are really against the wall, and that’s just Pacifica all over. As for the criticism about Wendy’s reaction, I get it. I’ve thought a couple of times that I should have addressed Wendy’s state of mind a little better, but at the time I didn’t really have a graceful way to squeeze it in without getting out of Pacifica’s head and into Wendy’s, and I really wanted to keep it to Paz’s POV. My concept was that first of all she was drunk, horny and not thinking clearly, of course. XD At that point Wendy had no way of knowing there was anything more to Pacifica than the classic ‘Mean Girl’ persona she’d wrapped herself in, and Wendy’s in high school, so she’d be familiar with what that kind of girl could do to a sweet boy like Dipper. And sprinkled across the top was a bit of residual guilt from having to turn him down, the source of the ‘already had his heart broken once’ line. That was the idea, but I would have to agree that I could have expressed it better. Well, live and learn. I’m quite pleased that you enjoyed it overall though! If you do ever get around to giving the next part a read, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
