Gratuitous video posting

Because frankly I don't have much else to say (Yes, I'm writing; no, it's not done yet, whatever it is you want to read) and because YouTube seems to have gone wonky and posted this as a week old, here's a recent Kitty video which impressed me:



That is a Greyland Films 'Liv' which I have to say, has never looked better. Looks so real I just want to rip it right off....

New release: Spider-Girl, issue #13

Bennett Brant is dead. Betty must now face the responsibility of claiming his body - and then deal with her mother, also recently hospitalised. Meanwhile, an old foe is about to re-surface in an unexpected way....

Issue #13: Crossing Over
Download from Maskingwriter (Yahoo! Group)

The definitive end to the Dr. Octopus arc... even though Dr. Octopus doesn't appear in it, the repercussions of Spider-Girl's confrontation with him will be felt for a long time to come. This is really a 'bridging' issue, wrapping up a lot of plot threads and pointing the way towards Crossover, as you might have guessed from the title....

As always, if you have enjoyed this or any other issue of Spider-Girl, please scroll down on the right and click on an ad for me. Takes a mere second and makes me feel all fuzzy and warm inside. Although sadly, not rich at all.

Finally, to anyone leaving an anonymous comment: thanks for starting to leave your initials... makes it so much easier to figure out who's saying what. Keep it up for me okay!

More news on 'what's next' soon.

Very, very quickly...

Much to my own surprise, Spider-Girl 13 is done!

I'd been tapping away at this for ages in fits and starts, just getting a few paragraphs done here and there, maybe a scene at a time... and then last night I realised I was a scene away from finishing. So I just wrapped it up.

It's a bit of a 'wrap up' issue, and completes most of the dangling plotlines from the previous arc... and also establishes things for the next arc, which I know you're bored of hearing about right now - Crossover.

I'll do some clean-up on it in the next day or so, and hopefully will post before the weekend. Then it's back to Project T and whatever else the noggin decides it wants to write!

Have a great day or night, depending on where you are....

Sunday morning word count

Project T now stands at just over 44,000 words. (I'll admit, I came to a natural break point just shy of 44K, so I added a few more. Just so I wouldn't lie to you. I'm like that.)

I have a strong feeling there's at least 15, maybe 20K more in this thing; the scene I'm writing now is probably several thousand long, and there are several more scenes just like it before it's done. I guess I'm over half way... maybe. I don't know, I'll just keep going and it'll be done some time.

I know it must be annoying to some of you to read this, but I figure you might prefer to know I am actually writing, as opposed to just jerking off or checking YouTube all day.

Also, Spider-Girl 13 is progressing, slowly. It's probably likely, all things considered, that I'll release it before Project T's completely done. Right now though, Project T has it's hooks in me, so that seems to be what comes out whenever I sit at the keyboard.

So how're you guys?

It's good to talk

I highly appreciate everyone who writes to me - in email, comments or IMs - and I hope you keep doing so.

Kind of an out-of-the-blue statement, maybe, but I've been thinking about it. There have been some days recently when I've been anxious to talk about my inner thoughts, inevitably intertwined with my fetishes, and of course in those cases the only people I can go to are people like you - people I know online. While I may never have met any of you, and may never do so (Kind of a sad thought, in a way) it helps me enormously knowing you're there.

In some cases you're just an amorphous 'thing' - an audience member, a person who I know will appreciate a piece of writing. In other cases you're identifiable people, people I've gotten to know over months or years of correspondence, who I'm able to talk about very specific, precise and personal things. That is really incredible to me. While I love my wife, and can talk to her about anything including this - she doesn't really get it. Which is fine; I don't need her to. Some days, though, I just need to talk about this stuff, and sometimes I need to do it in exacting, nerdy detail!

For those times - past and future - thank you to those who have listened, and to those who have responded, whether it's been somewhere like this, in an email, or an IM conversation. It's always welcome and I hope it is for you too.
