What are we all writing right now?

I finished Ch 2 for my Non-Human series Thirteen Scalp Avenue. I sent it to my beta and for edits.

I am flirting with my On The Job story. Just about 9,000 words into it. It’s tantalizing but a real slow burn. I added a bit of my youthful thrill of a Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 883 to this character. Gawwd I miss my bike.

🤷🏼‍♀️
 
After some reader requests on my 750 word story, A Good Decision, I've begun the full story. Working title - A Great Decision.
 
Expanding my 750-word romance into, hopefully, a novella on friendship, encouragement, and personal growth.

I've put through my chain story chapter, and have another 750 essay-that's-not-an-essay (but doesn't really fit anywhere else, either because it's not non-erotic, it's not a fictional story, and it's not a letter. It's a reflection on my past relationships and how I learned to adapt and survive through sexual partners and their expectations of me.) going up on the 18th. The wording went weirdly poetic toward the end and I don't know why. But it's not a poem, either.
 
Carry on with the Writing the Same Thing for a Year challenge with Day 61. Also, I have three sheets of paper (all of them of different sizes) where I'll handwrite three different stories. Whatever I put in there I will polish and publish here. This is just to study how much words I can fit in a (literally) blank page judging by my handwriting.
 
I'm still working on my selkie story for Pink Orchid.
I've been reading celtic mythology and the tales o the fae in Scotland and Ireland, looking for inspiration for a follow up on my vampire novel from 2013. I feel like Vamps are not nearly the fad they once were and the fables of the northern/weestern parts of the British Isles seem like an underused platform. I'd be very interested in reading your Selkie tale when you upload it. Please let me know!
 
Hopping back and forth, fitfully writing on what might be the last chapter of my first series, and the second chapter of a new series...

Gosh it's hard finishing a series after falling in love with all of the characters, wanting to do right by them and by your readers, wanting to draw up a satisfying conclusion... Ughhh 😭

Agree I have loved some on my characters so much I never wanted their series to end. I even contemplated the integration of a new series but I didn’t want to spoil it.
 
I'm working on a story that started off as a parody of Christmas romance movies and has turned into a full length novel! It is by far my longest, most complicated work and I'm super proud of it. I doubt I'll drop any of it here, but writing, posting, and honing my craft here on Lit def helped me get as far as I have and the end is in sight!
 
Oh my gosh, I had a total breakthrough with the chapter of my scifi series I'm working on...
I was having trouble with dialog for a particular alien who needed to be deeply sad and grief-stricken, it just wasn't working...

Then I remembered reading Miranda and the Vine, by @Katie_Mae... It's a non-con tentacle-monster story (not really my thing) but the part that stuck with me was that the creature spoke in rhyme... brilliant!

This story is very different, but now I'm running with the idea of a telepathic alien whose thoughts take the form of rhyming couplets (I don't know the right poetry terminology).

Suddenly a voice rang out through the ship, deep and rich and motherly.

Leave me to my grief alone,
that I might drift until I die.
You have a mission and a home,
no such privilege have I.


“Hello? Who is?” Blue called out.

Guardian of seeds am I,
or so I was once in the past.
Now in sorrow I do lie,
mother only to dead ash.

It's a very silly gimmick, I don't know how it's going to land with readers, but now I'm in poetry mode, digging through an online rhyming dictionary... squeee! :love:
 
I wrote a first draft of an April Fool's story. I think it works okay. It's got mirror twins and exhibitionism and it's nice and short (and hopefully funny), but there's a dark voice inside telling me to take it one Act further into incest territory. I think I'll give it a go, but if the twins say no to me, it will be separate beds after all.
 
Im in the early stages of a story that mainly revolves around harem breeding/impregnation fetishism. The setting is in the near future where massive corporations have taken over in the wake of an anarcho-capitalist movement that dissolved the federal government. Essentially entire cities are owned by the company, everyone there is an employee, everything they buy is from the company store, etc. That old (currently relevant) trope.

Im hoping to develop it in a way in which it is initially unclear if this is a utopia or dystopia. The target audience will enjoy the power fantasy as presented by the ignorant main character. But eventually, the cracks in the system will become apparent.
 
The last few weeks I've struggled to maintain any focus in my writing. I've worked on a dozen stories here and there - sometimes adding a thousand words or so, sometimes staring at a single line for two hours - without making any real progress.

But the other day I began work on a new chapter to Dungeon of Desire: Level 1, and the words have been flowing. I've got nearly 6k words done, with all the ingredients of a D&D dungeon crawl: fights, traps, secret passages, backstabbing, mistrust, MacGuffins and hot sex! A surly dwarf, a hot elf, an honourable knight and a tiefling just trying to fit in.
 
Currently finished with a “YAY Team Sex & Sports” if the 2025 event occurs. I have an “On The Job 2025” story in review for that event. I am finishing a two part chapter for The Cruise Companion series.

In draft I have started a story for the “Born To Run” event. In draft as well is a new series, Brenna Daugherty.

I have an idea for the Fairy Tales and for Crime and Punishment but nothing solid yet
 
Actively working on chapter 4 of my summer romance series, which may also become chapter 5. I've got a new key location, a new major character and an assortment of supporting characters to introduce, plus need to have some character bonding time in the leadup to what (I hope) will be a series of three MF sex scenes in chapter 5 or 6, each of which will have a different emotional tone that needs to be supported by the preceding chapter. Plus, this series will be the setting for my On the Job event entry.

I'm also vaguely noodling at a vampires-in-occupied-Berlin story and a series of 1750s piracy stories based very loosely on the ballad "William Taylor." The first of those stories has ~2500 words written but is on hold; the other one (two?) exists only as a two-sentence seed right now. The vampire story needs some more conceptual work, but if I can figure it out it'll probably be my Hammered entry, if I do one. "If I can figure out how to write this story it'll be entered in the contest if I enter the contest" -- that's the kind of commitment you can take to the bank.
 
I just finished one that involves a woman who goes to bars with her boyfriend to prowl for older guys for her to blow out back near the trash while he watches. He gets off on insulting her on their way home after and degrading her by dressing her up in expensive clothes only to kneel next to the trash to blow these gross older guys. The latest guy he picks for her shows his true intent and gets far more than a messy blowjob near a dumpster.

The other is a blend of masturbation, monster fucking, accidental exhibitionism, and a friend realizing he wants much more with her and gets it after showing up at her apartment to shut off the live feed of her masturbating, which their gaming group is watching and she didn't realize she was streaming.

Next is finishing up the expansion of Cookies, Commands, and Subroutines.
 
I'm working on my entry for the April Fool's Day contest. It's almost ready -- Oh, Look! A squirrel!
 
I was working on another story for my "Book Club" wives, stories of a neighborhood book club ("His Vixen" and "Going Down Together"), and how the latest book relates to the personal life of one of the wives. Then I thought of tying in my older story "The Fucking Bitch!" about Stacy, a wife who set up a brothel for wives whose husbands cheated, for the women to get "no strings attached" sex revenge.

Just approved for publication tonight: 10K words of my Loving Wives story: "Cheated Wives Club." "Cheating husbands might be surprised how we spend our time."
 
Nothing short of the best idea I’ve had in a year. It achieves just about everything I’ve ever wanted to do with a story, and it’s all about contrast. Every other element just serves the thematic contrast at the center of it all. There’s the missing element of an ethic that my old stories lacked or had buried beneath too many layers of sexual content. I’m only having certain issues with certain things like certain dialogue that hasn’t come yet and bridging the transitions between the beginning and the middle part with all the sexual stuff in it.
 
I'm wrestling with (another) April Fools' Story. My problem is that it most likely belongs in Loving Wives, where of course it will be savaged by angry hyenas. There's a romance in it as well between the two injured parties, but they don't want to get together until a couple of years after the story ends. They're hurting too much right now, and she's just told him that she doesn't want to get together as a revenge fuck on their about-to-be-exs. I want to respect her choice in that, but gee it's going to be tough for them to sleep out in the Loving Wives campground just for the sake of respecting feelings...

Actually, done correctly, that could work very well. The one thing that sets off the 1-bombers is reconciliation; if it's two adults who've both been cheated on deciding to be smart and wait until they're in a healthy place, that could get some decent ratings.
 
Spring is nearly upon us, so I'm being very timely and working on a few things for story events that won't even be happening for a few months.

Hey, I've been working a little slowly lately. I need all the lead time I can get.

So far, I think I've got pretty good ideas that will be appropriate for Nude Day, the A.I. event, and Summer Lovin'.
 
My recent post is doing well, or at least well for sixteen people, it seems.
It is a reflective piece based on some life experiences. I've woven a tale of a man in his twilight years and a mysterious caretaker who arrives to comfort him. It is a mixture of mirth, sadness, and humor–trademarks of my dry wit, I suppose.


Jin and Donovan's Path
Where Fate, Faith, and a Mysterious Past Intertwine.

Just started something new. Working title - The Red Velvet Collar.
Taking a page from Anne Rice's Beauty series it's about as a young nobleman who must go through a year of "training with a "dominie" before he can take his place in adult noble society. Kept a virgin until the age of twenty, she will now train him on how to please his woman as a proper gentleman should, while acting as a servant in her household.

It's taking a fair bit of world building as I'm creating a new culture and a society that's a little more sexually liberal, so I decided to set it in some sort of steam powered world, where oil is very rare. Gonna be fun. I have the beginning fleshed out but the rest is a big question mark in my mind. I'll likely be doing more 'pantsing' then I've done to date.

Have you read The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi? It's set in a fossil fuel-depleted world where a lot of industrial work and energy storage is done using nanomaterial springs that are wound with human and animal muscle power. A very dark, vibrant setting full of agricultural oligarchs and genetically modified geishas :love:
