What I Wrote and Read in March (2026)

It has been a challenging month at the House of Pierce. Not all bad certainly, but lots of distractions.

On March 1, I drove home from a weekend retreat at our family’s little weekend house in the NC mountains. I started coughing while still on the highway and it turned into a full-on bout of bronchitis. I went to the doctor after a week and got some prescription meds (which helped), but I’m still suffering the after-effects a month later. That’s made it almost impossible to focus on any original writing.

In better news, I gave my boss notice on March 16 that I’m planning to retire in August. I’ve been an IT professional for 44 years as of this year, and I’m done. They’ll have 5 months to find a replacement and for me to bring them up to speed, after which you’ll see my writing output go much higher. At least that’s the intention.

What I Wrote In March

In the meantime, the final few chapters of “Devil Inside: Finale” were posted on Medium, with the final one out March 31. It’ll mark the first time in quite awhile that I’ve got nothing finished and in the pipeline to be published.

If you are not a paid member of Medium, my evil doppelganger Anthony “Mean Mister” Moutarde has published the whole thing on Literotica. Some of it was written years ago and is rougher (and nastier) than the edited version on Medium. And hey, it’s free to read - just do an author search on MeanMrMoutarde.

I’ve reached a bit of a crossroads in terms of what platforms I’m going to publish my work on. Other than this blog and other non-fiction essays, I will likely not be posting on Medium for the next few months (although – who knows?). My readership has fallen way off (in part due to the indefinite hiatus of “Exceptional Erotica”) so I may focus on Literotica the next few months until I retire and have time to explore other possibilities.

I am working on a couple of things that I think you’ll enjoy. One is a follow-up to the “Know What You Write” series – this next chapter is going to probably be the first “traditional” hotwife story I’ve every written. I think you’ll like it.

I’m also working another story that’s been rattling around my brain for a few years. Trailer parks get a bad rap (I lived in one for a couple of years and it was actually fine) – I’ve starting writing a long trailer park story with some supernatural elements that I think you’re going to love. You’ll want to go to there. That one may be exclusive to Literotica. Or not - can you tell I’m at a crossroads?

What I Read In March

This is going to be long, both because I read a lot of stuff while I was partially laid up and because what I read brought up some interesting thoughts.

For example, I’m going to spend a little more time than usual talking about Coco Lust’s “Hotwife Cuckold” series on Medium. She’s twelve chapters in and I’m still not sure where it’s going to go, and I count that a good thing. I like surprises. It starts with the “billionaire boss taking a subordinate’s wife” trope, but every time I think she’s going to zig, she zags.

To be honest, there is not a lot of descriptive sex in the story (although there is a lot of build-up and aftermath). This story is much more about power. The evolving power dynamics within the threesome and the broader power of unimaginable wealth. Coco spends more time talking in detail about private jets and Michelin-starred hotels and Maybach town cars and bespoke tuxedos than she does about fucking – and it works (even if it can get a bit repetitive). I’m very much enjoying it.

I’ve written before about my view on billionaire fantasy – the fact that there are fewer than 1000 in the US and most of them look more like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons or like the guy that you gave swirlies to in the restroom in junior high than they do Christian Grey. But hey, it’s fantasy, so I’m more than happy to suspend my disbelief.

But I want somebody somewhere to tell one of these stories from the perspective of the billionaire bull! Coco’s story shifts POV from the wife to the husband and back, but the alpha that they both revolve around is kind of a blank. From a story-telling perspective, there’s a reason for that, but I want somebody (anybody) to tell this type of story from the alpha’s viewpoint. It won’t be me as I have not the slightest idea how their minds work – maybe that’s the problem.

There’s a ton of emotion in this story (even if a lot of the sex is off-screen), so if you want that heart-squeezing feeling as our gazillionaire fundamentally alters this couples’ relationship (over and over), this’ll get you pumping.

I mentioned last month that I’d started reading “Best Hotwife Erotica III: Empty Nesters”, which features some of my favorite erotica authors. So far I’ve read the offerings from Paul Garland, Lacey Cross and Sean Geist, and they are all excellent! I highly recommend this volume (and I’ll be going back and picking up the first two). As an older man entering retirement, I love reading (and writing) about people in their 40s and 50s having (and sometimes watching) great sex!

I’ve been focused on some of my favorite authors the past few weeks, so you’ll see some familiar names pop up here. Vivian White (RoleplayLiterate on Literotica) has finished “Cuckold Consequences” (at least for now) and I found the ending to be very satisfactory. She’s writing about the emotional trainwreck that can result from two people jumping into a poly/hotwife/cuckold lifestyle without any forethought. This story is honest and absolutely brutal and hot as fuck – and I love how she wraps up this first round. Looking forward to what’s next!

Another favorite is Lizette Monroe, who writes as Erozetta on Literotica. Her story “Secrets Learned; Secrets Kept” is a terrific hate-fuck story that has heart and heat and two people that shouldn’t work but somehow do, in their own twisted way. This is the kind of story that I constantly look for and I’m so happy when I find it. It was a joy to read, despite (or because of) the sometimes difficult storyline!

There are some noncon/dubious consent stuff going on in Lizette’s story (and in Vivian’s), which brings me to a topic that I’ve never written about and haven’t read much of. You can call it non-consensual, dubious consent, reluctant – however you slice it, someone is having sex that isn’t sure they want to (or maybe they know fucking well that they DON’T want to).

I’ve written before about a sort of hierarchy of erotica sub-genres, with romance and couple sex being on one level and then increasing levels of transgressive subject matter until you get to subjects like non-consensual sex and real, honest-to-goodness incest. (There are subjects even beyond that of course – and I will not speak of them, I do not read them, and while I generally don’t kink-shame, I will shame the fuck out of you if you speak of them positively. You can likely guess what I’m talking about.)

I’ve written a bit about mind-control as an erotica sub-genre (you can give me a hard time about that if you want, but I enjoy some of it and have some stories in mind to write myself). But take that away from the noncon genre and you have sex under physical constraints, blackmail or a corrupting influence.

I find that last one more interesting than the others. I ran across an author on Literotica called Rabblelaid, and he (?) sort of covers all of those parts of the category in various stories, but the one that caught my attention was “The Bet”, which is about a rather despicable character corrupting a prim and proper wife after betting with her husband that he can bend her to his will (and over his bed). I haven’t finished it yet (not sure he’s finished writing it, to be honest) but I will do so.

He also has a series co-written with Vivian White that I’m looking forward to reading in April – with Vivian’s ability to write sympathetic but broken characters and Rabblelaid’s focus on non-con and outright corruption, it should be an emotional disaster, in a good way.

Then there’s incest. That’s probably the only erotica subgenre where I think everyone that admits to reading it feels like they have to say “but I would never even think about something like that in real life!” I would never even think about something like that in real life! I get it if you are so squicked about it that you don’t even want to read about it – feel free to skip to the end.

As a genre, it’s waaaay out towards the end of the transgressive scale (at least I think it is), yet it has the second-most stories on Literotica, behind the catch-all “Erotic Couplings”. So clearly some of us sickos are intrigued.

I recently ran across a couple of stories on Literotica with similar set-ups – young man spends the summer with a wild aunt that is younger than his parents and is ready to teach her nephew… things. And in each story, there are some things about the relationship between the aunt and her siblings that later get revealed.

In both ObsceneVice’s recent “The Forbidden Summer” and yakboy69’s “Aunt Megan” (hey, I don’t make up the names – I’m “flipnmelonfarmer” on Lit, for God’s sake!), our young hero is staying with his aunt over the objections of his mom. I’m not going to tell you what those objections are – you’ll have to read for yourself. Both were hot and fun, but the five part story from ObsceneVice is both scorchingly hot and full of emotion in the very best of ways. I highly recommend it!

I’m not normally a big fan of revenge sex stories, but at the very end of the month (like, yesterday), I read P. T. Brown’s three part “Revenge in High Definition” from February on Medium and it was straight fire. A woman walks in on her husband fucking the 18 year old from next door, and after she storms out, let’s just say she finds herself in a surprising situation that helps ease the pain. Very sexy, very hot, very satisfying.

Oh, one last note. Someone asked a very reasonable question — why don’t I include links to the stories that I’m mentioning? It’s a fair question. I publish this blog both on Medium and on Blogger. I have found that when I include links (probably primarily to Literotica) on Blogger, the post gets flagged as NSFW, which means you have to be logged into a gmail account to read it. I do not want that. So I try to give enough information that the stories are very easy to find!

So that’s March wrapped up! We’re in the middle of Pollenocalypse here in North Carolina Piedmont, where the air turns yellow and pine pollen actually drifts across the road like snow. Once that is over (Easter-ish?), we’ll spend a weekend cleaning off the porch and enjoying the brief time until it’s too fucking hot and humid to do anything outside.

Don’t forget I’ve got a bunch of novels and an anthology available on Amazon, including “Neighbors: The Beach Trip” if you want to get in the mood for summer! Y’all be good to each other!

 

What I Read and Wrote in February

February was a short month, but I probably read more erotica and spicy romance than normal — guess it was the cold weather for much of the month! On the other hand, I didn’t get a lot of writing done. Work was almost all-consuming, but I did get some stories posted and prepped for some more — never fear!

What I Read in February

I’ve written a few times in the past about hotwife/cuckold stories. They were not something I read much of before joining Medium a couple of years ago. Then I kind of immersed myself in them for a few months, finding some really terrific authors, many of whom I have mentioned in previous blog posts. I often write about happy people having happy sex, which is great and it’s often what I read as well. But sometimes I want to amp up the feels! That might be from the taboo nature of stepcest or fauxcest (or out-and-out incest on some platforms). Or it might be the frisson of fear or horror from non-consensual or reluctant surrender (more on that NEXT month). But there’s not a lot out there that squeezes the heart quite as much as the guilty pleasures of hotwife stories. And for whatever reason, I found myself mostly going for all the feels in February.

Let’s start with Erozetta’s “One More Night” on Literotica. You may also know her as Lizzette Monroe. On the surface, “One More Night” is about a woman in a bad marriage that gets tempted by a work friend into a liaison with a colleague. But it’s so much more than that. It goes hard — really hard. It’s an emotional train wreck in all of the best ways that a story can be. This isn’t just good genre writing — this is good damn writing, regardless of genre. I highly recommend it!

I ran across an author new to Medium who goes only by the name Robert. His “Wedding Meadow” was a clever “enemies to lovers” story that I really enjoyed. But his longer “Remembering” hot-past story is one of the hottest stories I’ve read. It’s got blazingly hot sex, the jealousy and guilty voyeurism of the husband and a terrific ending. Excellent stuff!

My cyber-friend Sifu likes it when dalliances outside of marriage are balanced — what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Robert’s “Remembering” strikes that balance and in a somewhat different way, Wilkie Winters’ “A Wife’s Secret Revealed” does as well. Check out his very hot two-parter on Medium.

I’m have more to say about Coco Lust’s “Hotwife Cuckold” series on Medium next month as she is still publishing chapters. I read the first two installments in February and liked them both enormously. It’s a “wife has sex with the husband’s boss” story but it hits differently than most of those stories. I like it and I’m looking forward to seeing where she takes it!

Like I said though, sometimes I just need to read about happy people having happy sex — no guilt, just good fun. I’d put Fsqueeze’s “In-fucking-sane” on Literotica in that category. It’s not complicated — wife’s sister moves in with the couple and, well, we know what can happen with that kind of forced proximity. It’s lighthearted (as you can likely tell from the title), maybe even a little goofy, but it’s well-told and very hot.

I’ve already got some things lined up to read in March, including a volume of hotwife erotica from some of my very favorite authors, so it’ll be a hot month!

What I Wrote in February

My main focus was to finish writing the final arc of “Devil Inside”, which I finally did last weekend. I don’t know why it took quite so long (I actually started writing the original story over four years ago) but I’m very pleased with the ending. Chapters 1 and 2 of “Devil Inside: Finale” were posted in Feb and the rest will come out each week in March. I do hope to pull the whole thing together into a novel soon!

Before that, I posted the final two chapters of my first erotica novel “Neighbors: The Beach Trip”. I really love that book and I enjoyed reading (and slightly editing) it again. It is definitely in the “happy people having happy sex” category which is sometimes all ya really need. And it was the first thing I wrote that won an award — a monthly Star recommendation from All The Filthy Details!

I’ve got a ton of stories in my head that I’ll be working on in the next few weeks — most will be posted on Medium but some may be more appropriate for Literotica (and in some cases, why not both?). So stay tuned and keep reading!

 

What I Read And Wrote In January

It’s been a hectic start to the year here at AJP Headquarters! Lots of work in my day job that piled up over the holidays is now ALL top priority, we headed out of town for a weekend to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and of course the country slipped further into authoritarianism. My wife’s family is from St. Paul, so the news out of Minnesota was of particular interest to us — and made it hard to focus on anything else.

What I Read In January

I’ll admit to needing a little escape and there were a few writers that provided great escapist fodder the past couple of months, including a couple of female-dominant stories that were not my normal thing but that I quite enjoyed. These are all on Medium.

The first is a nine-part series on Medium from Maya D'Souza called “His Whore, My Rules”. When the protagonist discovers his husband’s cheating, she takes total control of both him and his affair partner, who is more than willing to be her sub. Hubby might have been a harder nut to crack, but crack him (or them) she does. This thing is white-hot and I loved every word.

In Sean Geist’s “My Wife’s Best Lay”, a couple slides into a hot wife dynamic without really talking about it, with our hero’s boss as the lucky recipient. In so many hot wife stories, there is planning, discussion, rules — not so here. This one is all about opportunity, and pushing until someone yells “stop!” But maybe they don’t?

In a very different vein, Jordan Lubov’s age gap story of an inexperienced young coed that looks to an older man for guidance is told with sensitivity and patience. I’m doling the chapters out, taking my time with it as he does with her. Jordan’s stuff is always good!

A married pair gets a very special, off-the-menu couples massage for their anniversary in Scarlett Erotica’s “The Anniversary Massage That Broke Us Both Open” — her titles tend to be very descriptive! This is a short one but very hot.

A couple of months ago I wrote about a couple of non-fiction writers I was following on Medium (one of whom has sadly now left and doesn’t seem to be posting anywhere). More recently I’ve been reading The Career MS and enjoying her takes on relationships, trends, etc. As I’ve stated before, it’s possible she’s really a 60 year old guy in Des Moines with a beer gut, but he’s really really good, if that’s the case. She is very prolific, but I find that I agree with most of what she writes, which seems impossible, but there ya go.

What I Wrote In January

Well, not much, although I am continuing to work on the finale for “Devil Inside”. To buy myself some time, I’ve been posting two chapters of my award-winning “Neighbors: The Beach Trip” every week on Medium. It’s the first erotica novel I published and some of my very earliest fiction writing, so I’ve tried to clean it up a bit but I’m mostly left the story itself intact. I quite enjoy it — I hope you do too! It should run into the second week of February.

If you’re impatient to get to the end, of course it’s available on Amazon.

After that, I hope to post the last arc of “Devil Inside” starting the second half of February, then wrapping all of it up into a novel.

If you want to stay warm this winter, I suggest you read lots of erotica, whether it’s mine or some of the other folks I’ve mentioned! It’s a long way ’til spring!

 

Looking Backwards and Forwards (with a little aside about AI porn)

This is usually the time when I update you all on what I’ve been writing and reading, both to highlight my own stuff as well as erotica that I particularly liked and can recommend. But that would make for a very short post, as I’ve little time to read or write in December. Between end of year work deadlines and holiday prep (and enjoyment!) — let’s just say that trying to write was mostly a non-starter.

So instead, here’s a quick recap of 2025! I published a BUNCH of stories on Medium, many of which also ended up on Literotica (I write as ‘flipnmelonfarmer’ there). I submitted four stories to two anthologies that JK Mill is putting together for later in 2026 (hoping that at least a couple of them will be chosen!).

I also published one short novel (“The Consultant: Mothers and Daughters” — a sequel to my previous “Consultant” book) and I collected over a dozen short stories from the past 18 months or so into an anthology, called “Filthy Bedtime Stories for Adults”. Both are available on Amazon as ebooks and as paperbacks.

Looking ahead, 2026 is going to be a year of major changes. I’ve got a ton of story ideas that I’m ready to write, but I’ll be experimenting with platforms other than Medium, given the massively reduced compensation from that platform since the end of 2024. All the platforms I’ve investigated have their problems, and I need a little time to sort through them and decide on a couple to try.

If all goes well, I’ll have more time to do that research and experimentation (as well as more time to write) as I’m hoping to retire from my 44 year IT career sometime in the middle of 2026. Fingers crossed!

I am in the middle of serializing my novel “Neighbors: The Beach Trip” on Medium — we’re about halfway through at this writing. It was the first erotica novel I ever published, and I’ve enjoyed going back and rewriting/reediting parts of it — I think it’s good but my writing has improved so now I think it’s even better!

I’m also working on the final arc for “Devil Inside”, my crazy erotic horror/mind control story. The final arc will be a little lighter on horror but will feature lots of sexy sex!

# # #

When I first started publishing stories on Medium early in 2024, I started using a generative AI engine to produce racy-but-SFW “artwork” for my posts. I found it somewhat addictive, to be honest. It was easy to get sucked into creating fantasy scenes (many of them definitely NOT SFW), and I got pretty good at creating prompts to get the results I was looking for.

As I thought more about ethical considerations (massive power consumption, training on artwork without the artists’ permission, etc), I stopped using AI “art” and started hitting the free photo repositories instead. That’s a personal decision and I’m not shaming anyone who makes a different one (at least not in this post!). And I will assure you that I have never used gen AI to write and I don’t intend to in the future. There’s just no fun in that!

But having played around with image generation a bit 18 months ago, I’m fascinated by the discussions around AI porn that are really only now starting to hit the public consciousness. There is a LOT to think about!

Porn has driven adoption of tons of technologies over the past few decades. The VCR, the hi-def standard for DVDs, and tons of internet-related advancements have been fueled by, and in some cases dictated by, the porn industry. Sites like OnlyFans allow porn actors much more control over their careers and even when some of them do cross over and start working for the studios, they seem to have much more control over their schedules, working conditions, etc. It’s easier (and safer) to be a porn actor, but probably a lot harder to get noticed.

So what happens when consumers of porn can relatively easily create their own custom porn? Go hit Reddit or XVideos and you can already find a lot of it — most of it of fairly poor quality yet but some is hard to tell from real people.

Some porn stars are already using GenAI engines to create chatbots to interact with fans in their voice, adding another potential income channel (engagement is KING!). But lots of sites offer AI-generated girlfriend experiences — how is that going to affect real-life interactions when guys (and it will be almost all guys) are used to having an AI girlfriend that never says no, that is down for whatever kinky shit they’re interested in, and who are programmed to please? Real people are likely to be even more of a challenge for these guys than they already are.

I’ve seen some of the ads that some of the girlfriend experience sites run — create a woman that will never ask you to take out the trash, that will never be too tired, that will never spend the evening talking about her day or her problems — who will never say no to any sexual experience.

I find it interesting that in watching a few of the longer AI-generated videos, there’s almost always lots of fellatio (usually the unseen guys have inhumanly-large dicks, of course). There’s lots of athletic sex in various positions. But while my sample size isn’t huge, I have yet to see AI guy go down on the AI girlfriend. Wonder why?

There’s also a ton of fantasy stuff out there — big-boobed futanari with giant cocks, monster-on-monster sex, tentacle sex — all of which has been around for years as anime, but now I’m seeing it being generated by AI.

I have no idea where this is going to go. When it comes to human relationships, I can see the guys who fall down this rabbit hole will either take themselves out of the dating/breeding pool and stick with their ever-more-realistic looking AI babes, or they will try to base actual human interactions on what they’ve learned from their AI booty calls and let’s just say that that will not go well, for the guys or the women.

As for porn performers, who knows? Does human-centered porn become more boutique? Or a fetish thing? Porn companies, and porn performers in general, have weathered a lot of changes — I suspect they’re more concerned about the latest puritanical movements in the US and other companies than they are AI, at least for now. But changes are coming quickly.

Any thoughts from you folks? Have you seen any AI porn? How does this play out?

What I Read and Wrote in November

Hard to believe that it’s December! I hope those of you in the States had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and/or friends and those of you in the rest of the world enjoyed a couple of days without those Americans you work with bothering you. A global holiday!!

What I Read in November

November is always a nutty month for us. In addition to Thanksgiving, my wedding anniversary is in the middle of the month and the first two weekends are usually taken up by my wife’s art exhibits as part of the local artists guild Fall Tour. But I did get some good reading in!

Jordan Lubov is one of my favorite writers (and she seems like a very cool person). I particularly enjoyed “Sharing Mom’s New Boyfriend” on Medium. It has been suggested that my stories don’t have enough conflict in them, but sometimes ya just want to read/write about nice people having fun sex because sex is awesome. This is one of those!

Sharing Mom’s New Boyfriend

Vivian White (Roleplayliterate on Literotica) is another favorite and she never disappoints. Her continuing “Cuckold Consequences” is one of the hottest and intensest stories I’ve ever read and her “An Interview to Long For” was hot in an entirely different way. A power couple goes through a tough initiation to gain an exclusive membership and whoo boy, ya gotta wonder if it was worth it! I think the couple agree that, regardless of what they learned about themselves and each other, it definitely was worth it.

An Interview to Long For 

I’m drawn to people that can do more than just write heat — they can tell stories. They could write in any genre, and some do. Jordan and Vivian definitely fit that bill, and so does Emily Miller. She’s just published a novel-length story on Literotica (“The Story of Nix”) that is actually just really good sci-fi with a lot of sex. I’ll admit that I’ve only read the first installment (see aforementioned busy November) but I will absolutely finish it in the next couple of weeks.

The Story of Nix

 

What I Wrote in November

November was not a great month for original writing. Instead I used the time to do some writing adjacent stuff.

I mentioned that Exceptional Erotica, the Medium publication that I was a part of for the past 18 months or so, is on indefinite hiatus. However, JK Mills is pulling together a couple of anthologies for next year and I took the time to clean up a few of my stories to submit. Fingers crossed!!

I also did publish an anthology of many of the stories that I published on Medium the past year or so (I held out some that are hopefully destined for JK’s anthologies or that I think I might expand into novels). It’s called “Filthy Bedtime Stories for Adults” and it’s available on Amazon in both ebook and paperback formats.

Filthy Bedtime Stories for Adults

I also finally got around to doing a paperback cover for “The Consultant: Mothers and Daughters”, so now all five books on Amazon are available in both ebook and paperback.

The Consultant: Mothers and Daughters

I entered my story “Beach Bum Christmas” in the Literotica Winter Holiday contest as well — it probably wasn’t overtly Christmas-y enough, but I think it’s a good story.

Beach Bum Christmas

And finally, I started serializing my first erotica novel — “Neighbors: The Beach Trip” — on Medium. It has some of my earliest writing and I think I’ve improved a bit, but I’m trying to keep the edits to a minimum.

Neighbors: The Beach Trip

For December, I’m posting chapters of Neighbors: The Beach Trip every Tuesday and Friday — that will take me well past New Years. I’m also still working on the finale of Devil Inside and more of the Know What You Write series. My friend Sifu on Medium will not be happy (nor will be be surprised) at the direction it’s about to take.

Stay warm, stay safe, stay sane and keep reading!

 

What I Wrote and Read in October

I’ve mentioned in the last couple of newsletters that I may not be posting as much on Medium going forward. Maybe, maybe not. I don’t intend to submit work to a new publication, but given that my current membership has another 8 or so months to run, I may be posting stories directly for a bit.

What may change is the nature of the stories and the way I tell them. As I mentioned, I have felt a little boxed in by expectations of length etc on Medium — if I’m posting just under my own name, I can play around a little more with those expectations. I guess I’ll figure it out over the next couple of months. Regardless, I’m definitely not stopping writing.

What I Read in October

Ran across some really terrific stories during the month! Maya D'Souza's three-part (so far) story “His Whore, My Rules” is a wonderfully smoking-hot story of a woman who catches her husband fucking around with a kindergarten teacher and instead of running away, she stays and takes total control of both of them and of the situation. Highly recommended!

I waited until Rick Scott finished publishing his slow-burn of a hot wife story “Benefits Renewed” because I frankly wanted to see where he was taking it. I get a little tired of the woman being taken by an “alpha male” (such an animal does not exist, kids) and leaving her poor weak husband (or at least leaving him behind sexually). On the other hand, stories where it’s all about the love the husband has for his wife (and she for him) and their trust that her heart is not wandering — those I can get into. Rick’s story might be a slow burn, but it absolutely smolders in every chapter. You should definitely check it out!

If you don’t have a lot of time and you want an age-gap story that gets right to the point, check out Mona Rivers’ “Saturday Shenanigans: My New Step-Mother Is A Whore”. I mean, the title kind of says it all, right? Hot fun in a single-chapter story.

MelissaBaby may be the best pure author of any erotica writer that I read regularly. Her Bluesky profile says “I don’t write sex stories, I write stories about people who have sex.” That is a damn fact. If you’re looking for a haunting Hallowe’en story, look no further than “Mr. Spooky’s House of Halloween Fun” on Literotica. But don’t blame me if you have trouble sleeping afterwards.

I’m sure I’m leaving some other good stuff out!

 

What I Wrote in October

I was surprisingly active in October! Surprise to me, at least.

Part 3 (of 3) of “Belonging” was published on Medium early in the month. I then posted the whole story as a one-parter on Literotica and so far it is the highest rated story I’ve ever published there. I quite like it myself! Olivia was wild in her undergrad days but her life as a grad student at a small private university is way too quiet, until suddenly it isn’t.

I published a continuation of the Bear and Cat age-gap story with “Danielle: A Bear and Cat Tale”. This one is focused more on Barry’s younger brother Adam, and a young woman he meets at his bar. It’s got everything — love, sex, threatened violence, and a brief return of Bono the Beagle!

And they’re all available on Literotica under my ‘flipnmelonfarmer’ pen name.

I introduced the erotica writer Lauren, her husband Mark, and her stepsister April in “Know What You Write”. They’re all back in “Know More Of What You Write”, as Lauren keeps pushing boundaries and Mark finds himself reluctantly intrigued about things he never would have expected. This is evolving into the most straightforward hot wife story I’ve written to date — more to come for sure.

Also available on Literotica — free as always!

Finally, the 3rd arc of “Devil Inside” titled “The Grove” was published just a couple of weeks ago. It seems pretty clear that Sir is starting to lose control of the demon inside of him, or maybe he’s just letting the power he’s borrowing from the demon corrupt him. I’m working on a 4th and final arc and I hope to wrap it all up into a novel and get it published before the end of the year.

That’s all for this month — I’m hoping to get a short story collection out on Amazon over the next couple of weeks, as well as finish the Devil Inside story. Then we’ll see what’s next!

Thanks as always for reading!

I joined Medium initially as a reader a couple of years ago. After some months of enjoying reading, I posted a few non-fiction essays about writing and with some of my thoughts on erotica. Somehow they caught the attention of the wonderful JK Mill, who invited me to write for the Medium publication Exceptional Erotica.

And boy, did I!

The support and positive feedback I’ve gotten from JK and Celia McKinley and all my readers (I’m looking at you, Sifu!) has been nothing short of phenomenal and I thank you all from the bottom of my filthy little heart.

Sadly, as many of you have written or read, Medium is not the same platform as it was last year. My income has dropped to 10–15% of what it was last year, and my readership has dropped, even while the number of people following me has risen.

Not all of that is due to Medium’s changing payment schedule. I’ve done some experimenting with different types of stories, some of which may not have had the same appeal to folks as my earlier stuff. I’ve also had less time to write due to several personal reasons, so my output is down. So while I still see other authors getting tons of responses, I’m getting very little feedback. At least not on Medium.

I was toying with exploring other platforms when it was announced that Exceptional Erotica is going on indefinite hiatus after this month. My “Devil Inside” arc that was just published this week will be my last stories for them. Sad but I totally understand why they’re shutting down.

I could look for another Medium publication to join, and I’m sure I’d have no trouble finding one. But I’ve realized that writing for Medium is limiting (or driving) the way I write. Generally, the expectation is for 1500–2500 words per post, which demands a particular style of writing. If I have a longer story that I’m breaking up into multiple posts, I find myself trying to make sure I put some heat in each one, even if they story beats don’t really call for it. It also feels like I need to continually publish on a weekly basis to maintain interest, which is difficult to keep up while I’m still working a full-time job (fingers crossed that that will change in twelve months or so).

So while I will maintain my Medium presence for the near future and my previously published stories will still be out there, my new posting will likely be limited to newsletter/blog posts like this one while I explore other potential platforms.

In the meantime, I plan to continue to post stories on Literotica (you can find me at ‘flipnmelonfarmer’) and I will continue to put out the occasional novel or short story collection on Kindle. I’ve also submitted a couple of stories for consideration for an anthology that the Exceptional Erotica folks are putting together next year. Fingers crossed!

In no way am I going to stop writing, although without the self-imposed deadlines for writing for Medium, actual publication may be a little more sporadic. But that’s okay.

I’ve got at least a dozen potential stories rattling around in my head — no, probably closer to two dozen. Some of them would not be appropriate for Medium (or Kindle) anyway — I’ve got a very dirty mind, kids. So some of those stories will likely be exclusive to Lit, which gives writers a little more leeway. And oddly enough, I find Literotica readers are much more comfortable with longer stories than Medium readers are.

I’ll talk more about some of what I’m working in my month-end missive in a few days. For now, I just want to say again how incredibly much I have appreciated your feedback, your claps, and your highlights. Not gone, hopefully not forgotten, but a little quieter…
