That Which We Hate

Hello,

So, I've been posting some writing on the internet again. It isn't much, but it's more than I was posting. The Changing Mirror has quite a number of interactive story threads, one of which is titled "That Which We Hate". The premise is that there is an apartment complex and people who move into it find themselves changing into something they despise. I've posted to the thread many times over the years. I'd forgot all about it until Anonymous51 reminded me about it in a comment to this blog earlier this month.

I've been having a lot of fun adding threads over the last couple of weeks and it feels good to be posting online once again.

Hello again

So, I never got around to posting an update on my writing progress like I said I would back in February. Sorry about that. I haven't written all that much since I last posted. Most of my writing time has been spent on the story that is being illustrated for TGComics.com. The illustrations look amazing. The artist doing the work is very talented. Still, there is lots to do even if I am not the one creating the illustrations. I don't know when that story will drop, but I suspect that it will be more than a year from now.

Spray for Trouble - Chapter 4

Spray for Trouble: Chapter 4
By: Firingwall

Trevor led the two women back into the theater lobby, heading straight to where an older woman was standing. She was wearing a similar employee tag as Trevor, the name on it reading, “Dorothy”. She appeared to be in her forties and rather heavy, curiously eyeing them as they approached.

Trevor spoke to her, “Miss Kale. This is my sister and her friend. They want to take a look around at some of the backend stuff.”

“Don’t worry!” Tina spoke up, interjecting herself into the conversation, “We’re just curious about seeing the projection room and how it works. My friend is really curious to see it as well!”

Dorothy casually eyed up the two young women, Emma fidgeting and glancing at the ground. The young woman thought, there’s no way she’s going to let us do this.

Spray for Trouble - Chapter 3

Here is chapter 3 of the story that Firingwall wrote for me over the last six months. There are 3 more chapters on his Firingwall's Patreon page. I'm not going to be commissioning anymore of the story at this time, but if you have ideas on how you'd like to continue the story and you're willing to part with a few bucks, I'm pretty sure that Firingwall would like to hear from you.

“Be right back mom!” Tina declared, rushing to the bathroom, “Give me a second!”

Julia Parker sighed, taking a brief drag off her cigarette, before saying, “Alright, but don’t take too long or we’ll miss the movie!”

Emma sighed peacefully, taking a very long drag from her own cigarette before blowing it out. Curious, Mrs. Parker asked, “Something the matter?”

“No,” Emma replied with a pleasant smile, “I’m quite alright.” And she really was. While enjoying some of the changes brought upon by her spray bottle, she had been feeling really tense and worried a lot of the time as well. So, going out to a movie with a friend and her mom, especially one that she had been really wanting to see (for some reason now), Emma felt at peace about everything for once.

Spray for Trouble Chapter 2

Sorry this one took so long to post. I'll try to be quicker with the next few chapters. So far five have been written and a sixth will be completed at the end of this month. I don't know if there will be a chapter seven.

You can find more of Firingwall's stories on his Patreon page and on his Deviantart page.


Spray for Trouble: Chapter 2

The door slamming behind her, Emma instantly yanked out her lighter and pack of cigarettes. She took out a slim and lit it up before putting them both back. Her body eased up and shivered delightfully as she took a long drag.

Blowing the smoke between her plump lips, she sighed, “Damn, I really needed that.”

Dinner seemed to drag on for eternity, even though it only lasted barely half an hour. Between her constant worrying about her sister and her new habit, Emma was in desperate need of a cigarette to calm herself.

The whole spray bottle situation was absolutely crazy. In just the past few hours, she was now the proud owner of a badass motorcycle, loved wearing black lipstick all the time, and was a big-time smoker. Not only that, but Anna, her sister, sported a large ass and strutted around in high heels all the time, a wild contrast from the plain, homely girl she usually was.

The results are in

I want to thank everyone who voted in the poll, left a comment or sent me an email to let me know which story that like to see worked on next. I really appreciate the input.

Jersey Shored 2 won out, so I'll be working on that one first. Since it was such a close second, I'll follow up with the next chapter of Heather's story. After that I'll most likely work on the next commission in line. At that point I think that I'll put up another poll and let you decide what comes next.

Besides working on Jersey Shored 2, I am also finishing up the latest revision for the TG story that will eventually be posted to the TG Comics website. Femur has been giving me some amazing feedback. I've had to put a lot of work into the story, but I think that the finished product will be worth the effort.

I'll be posting more of the story, "Spray for Trouble" that Firingwall has been writing for me in the coming days.

Thanks for listening

I need some input

Does it ever feel like you spend more time trying to decide what to watch on Netflix than you finally spend watching your show? That's what I feel like with my writing at the moment. I have too many writing projects. I want to write them all, but when it comes time to actually write, I end up wasting time, and especially energy, trying to decide which project I am going to work on.

So, I have placed a poll on my blog and I am going to let you help me decide which story I'll work on next. I'm keeping the selection down to four choices to start.

Heather chapter 14 (Heather goes wild at a house party)

Jersey Shored 2 (A tanning bed starts changing people. There'll be more hot tub action, too)

The Road Trip part 7 (The gang crashes a wedding)

Something Else. (If this one wins I'll make another poll with a bunch of my other stories. Comments added to this post will count as a vote, too.)

Here is a list of other projects that fall into the Something Else category.

Rafting trip (Primarily TG story about five guys in their 20s who are transformed into a family of four with the fifth guy becoming the family pet. It is about 3/4 written.)

Keeping up with Kim K (A geeky girl is taken under Kim K's wing and is slowly transformed in body and mind)

The Man (There is a man who will grant your wish for a price. Haylee wants to ace her college entrance exam and the man wants her to become a smoker. When she balks at this he ups the price - about 2k words written so far)

The Ring (Taylor encounters a genie who grants wishes, but only ones she wants to grant. The genie has a mischievous streak. Taylor soon finds herself hanging out with a  group of metal heads at her high school. First draft is complete)

Ghost 2 (This is a TG take on The Birth of Bethany. In this version it is Paul, Elizabeth's boyfriend, who encounters the spirit Wilson's house. First draft is complete. 30+k)

Sleepover (A group of high school girls have a run in with cigarettes from the Tobacconists shop. This one has racial TF in it. First draft is complete. 40+k)

Trailer Park (A college coed and her mother are stranded in a trailer park that is always looking for new, permanent residents. First draft complete. 50+k)

Road Crew (A road contruction crew are hit by the magical wand from The Road Trip. TG/AR. first draft complete. aprx 6k)

Horse Ranch (A couple visit a horse ranch that has been affected by the magical wand from The Road Trip. 3/4 complete aprx 10k)

One of the girls from the epilogue of A Perfect Match, Every Time (short story that explores the transformation from academic scholar, to fitness instructor and a eventually stripper. Not started, but it sounds like a fun idea to explore further.)  

The Encounter (A young woman hits a pedestrian on a lonely road late at night in her mother's car. The pedestrian turns out to be quite demonic. As punishment it forces her into assisting it in the corruption of the people in her life.)

Lots and lots more.

Well, that's it for now. I'll post the next part of Spray for trouble in the next day or so.

Thanks for voting!
