Chapter 5 of Mia is posted. Be warned, it’s pretty brutal. Big thanks to JayDee for his beta!

Earlier tonight, I had an unexpected, massive surge of inspiration regarding the next chapter of Mia: Confessions of a Dickgirl. Now, chapter 5, which was nowhere near done, should be ready for beta in a day or two. (Heads up, JayDee!)
Regarding Little Rose, I was stuck on this final chapter for quite a while because of decision paralysis: With the addition of Opal and Evie, there were so many things I could do that I had trouble figuring out what I should do. But then I asked myself, what are the truly essential things that need to be in this chapter? What expectations need to be paid off? Once I thought to ask myself those questions, it wasn't hard to answer them, and I've been making steady progress on chapter 9 since then.

My response to Star Wars Player 1’s review of “The More, the Merrier”:
Thanks!
Thanks! I want this story to cover a whole range of sexual experience, from the utterly depraved to the genuinely loving.
When I first thought of including Roger in the story, I didn't even think about pairing him with Vanessa. Then I realized that this was an incest opportunity I couldn't pass up.  Especially when I had the idea that they had been fantasizing about each other for a while.
I'm really happy to have added a girl who is even younger than the others. Makes for all kinds of Little Rose-esque fun.
A shota and a dog double-fucking a teenage girl ticks a lot of my boxes.  And it seemed like a good character moment for both of them.
The Melanie/Pedro thing was planned from the beginning, but I couldn't bring it to fruition until this chapter. 
Sometimes writing about what characters are thinking is more fun than writing about what they're doing.
I wanted Monty and Vanessa to be like sex tutors for the kids. In the next chapter, we'll learn more about how Vanessa has been mentoring Balthazar in that regard.
I'm pretty sure you know, but yeah.
Thanks for the review!

Hey, everybody. I’m back in the full writing swing, and I’ve been pretty productive over the past several days. Still not super close to posting anything, but I made progress on a lot of stuff—including a new one-short story to be titled “The Ball Pit.” A little girl, a tentacle alien, all kinds of badness.
SWP1, thanks for reviewing the latest chapter of The More, the Merrier. I’ve posted a response in the thread for that story: 
Oh, and I too am looking forward to Godzilla vs Kong. 

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.

Sorry, no—this one is about high school girls. 

Actually, this next chapter – titled “The Worst Day of My Life” -- will be a flashback to a couple of years after Mia left home, and it’s going to be about the one time when Mia completely lost control of herself. 

Hey, all. I’ve finally returned from my travels and am catching up on things (including sleep  ). 
Not too much to report on the fic front; the only story I made much progress on while I was gone is a new Loud House story that I won’t be ready to start posting until I finish with a couple of the nearly finished stories. I do hope to have chapter 9 of Country Summer finished reasonably soon, though.
FYI, I just saw a matinee of Godzilla: King of the Monsters and enjoyed it (better than the critics did, certainly). It was fun to see various monsters in action, including my old favorite, Rodan. 

I'm not sure, but probably in the next month or two. I'm working on some other stories at the same time.

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.

Re: “Snow”
From InBrightestDay on April 24, 2019
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! )
