Tl;dr: I'm stopping commissions (except for ongoing commissions) in favor of Jack's Blacks prompts. If no prompts come, well, I've got a number of my own to work on. A week before the start of 2023, I listened to an audiobook that described the difference in intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivators. Without going into great detail, … Continue reading Trying Something Different

Announcement: Kindle Vella
Update 2022-07-26: Nope! Hey, guys. So, I don't think I've mentioned it on here before (though I did mention it on IB since I seem to get more traffic there), but Amazon has come out with a new writing service called "Vella". Basically, I write and publish chapters individually rather than as a complete story, … Continue reading Announcement: Kindle Vella

Changes to Commissioned Stories in the Works
Hey, all. Just dropping a quick note to say that I've been working on an app that will let me just about 100% automate the non-writing aspects of my commissions (exporting to Word / PDF, invoicing, sending to clients, and posting online). To that end, the easiest way to address the interface to WordPress is … Continue reading Changes to Commissioned Stories in the Works
New Jack’s Blacks and Other News
Hey, all. Excited to say Amazon published another Jack's Blacks installment this morning, The Family Business, in which the protagonist is from a family of stallions long-rumored to be immune to the village curse, which periodically makes males feel the desperate urge to bottom for other stallions. You can find it here. I also created … Continue reading New Jack’s Blacks and Other News
Commissions Permanently Closed
Hi, all. Effective immediately, I will not be taking any more commissions. Apologies to those on the waiting list, but after struggling off and on for years with burnout, it's time I faced the fact that I'm not getting the spark back that I had in 2018. I'm thankful to everybody who's put their trust … Continue reading Commissions Permanently Closed
Jack’s Blacks Volume 7: Raw Material Collection

I've begun the submission process for Jack's Blacks volume 7: Raw Material Collection.Theme: Assisted masturbationSynopsis: The world is at war, and and since drilling for oil was … Continue reading Jack’s Blacks Volume 7: Raw Material Collection
Status Update 2021-01-23
So, I'm finally posting commissions again, which is a big step up over the last several months. That said, I've amassed a bit of a backlog—people who asked me about commissions while I was on hiatus—and I'm trying to work that off. I've currently got 5 people left in the queue, so if you've talked … Continue reading Status Update 2021-01-23
2019-07-26: A Real Status Update
Hey, all. I know, I know...I've been really, really derelict in maintaining the site. It's been a crazy-busy several months, but I'm finally settling down. Well...sort of. Long story. Pull up a chair, and let's talk about the last few months... Let's start with work. I forget how long ago now, I got a promotion to … Continue reading 2019-07-26: A Real Status Update
Anything Broken?
I know, I know, it's been a really long time since I've posted anything on here. And that's going to continue—so much going on right now—but I just downgraded my plan from the premium plan, so some things might not work that used to work. If anybody notices anything like that, please shoot me a … Continue reading Anything Broken?
