In the interest of transparency (hey, it's right in the thread title), I must confess that I recently broke one of my own rules and allowed the List of Twenty to expand to 22 stories.
One of these is a short story that I found so erotically compelling that I couldn't resist the urge to start writing it. It's titled "Conscious Sedation," and it's told from the POV of an anesthesiologist who takes advantage of a very young, not-very-awake female patient. Yeah, I know, I’m a mess.
The other new story is the one I'm writing for the AFF Holiday Party. I wanted to get started on it to give it a reasonable chance of being finished in time for Christmas. It has no title yet, but it's about a new reindeer joining Santa's team. There's a lot of work involved in getting ready for The Big Night, but there's also a fun initiation.
Fortunately, having just posted "Lincoln's Lesson" got the list back down to 21 stories, and I expect to post "Conscious Sedation" soon, which will make it an even and completely not-insane 20 again.
Speaking of finishing things, tonight I completed the rough draft of chapter 4 of “Wishful.” Assuming that I have enough free time to proof it, it could be posted as soon as tomorrow evening.
