I know that we all like to get into the meat of the action, and too much setup can get boring... but there's something about obvious setups and stupid prey that bugs me, a bit. So I was inspired to write a riff on the classic "doctor, my tummy hurts!" trope. Except the doctor isn't stupid. He's not going to get up close with the otoscope to look down her throat (all the way down.) He's not going to do a physical exam. He's not even going to shake her hand.

So, what's a pred to do when the prey is wary and smart? Read and find out!

Two young men go looking for fun on a remote, hard to reach beach in Corfu. They think they're looking for love, or at least lust. But have they considered what might be looking for them?

This story can stand alone, but it's also part of my world-building for the overall Marshkin Saga. I had the idea a while back, and decided to knock it out this weekend. Hoping this clears some mental space for the bigger challenge, which is getting the main saga back on track.

In the meantime, since you can guess how the story ends, it probably won't surprise you... but maybe it will, after all. It's a bit of a spin on post-vore regret that you might not see coming. Let me know what you think!

Just a little something to mark Voretober, to help chip away at the writer's block amid general life busyness and stress. This one is an experimental piece - pure, 100% dialogue. Nothing else. Have fun filling in the visuals in your minds!

Chapter 7 of the Saga is written, mostly, but I'm not happy with it. The plot line of the next few episodes looks like it needs some surgery, and I think I need to flesh out some background threads some more, so they all make more sense when they come ripe later... It's a lot of work. I could probably use the services of an editor, in all honesty.

Happy Voretober!

A little 5000ish word something I dashed off for 8/8, not connected to my other work in any way.

Hope it signals a thaw of my writers block, though my day job and other commitments may have something to say about that as well. Hope you ate (or got ate, if that's your bag) for 8/8!

The muse moves as the muse wills, and this time it delivered me a short, sharp tale of a greedy pred, with a "perfect" plan.

Hope you enjoy it, and as always, I appreciate any and all comments!

I’m coming up on two months since I decided to take the plunge and share some of my work with this community. Thought I’d take a moment and share my thoughts on how that’s going, what I’m doing, and what I’m planning to do next.

I believe that I have ideas for years of writing, ideas that several subsets of the vore story consuming population here will enjoy. I did decide to dive into one of the most complex and intricate ones in my (virtual) notebook first. It’s fundamentally a (anti-)hero journey, exploring one vision of how vore might be “hidden in plain sight” in a world that has closed its eyes to magic and all the good and bad that come with it. I find it stretching my story-crafting skills as I go along - a weight I can just barely manage to carry, IMHO. I see flaws...

Next installment of the Marshkin Saga is up!

https://aryion.com/g4/view/1017468

This one took a little longer to finish than expected. Had a little writer's block, then decided to take some things in a somewhat different direction and tone than I'd had them in my outline. The story and the characters develop on my mental stage. Sometimes they just tell me who they are and what they want, and it wasn't what I'd initially expected them to be.

In this episode you'll get to see more of the supporting cast take the spotlight, bumping into one another as they do. More tastes of what more experienced Marshkin preds can do, as well. Elizabeth is the Mother's Chosen for more than one reason, though. Despite her inexperience, she's a quick-thinking survivor...

I needed a break from the heavy lifting of a multi-viewpoint multi-chapter story. So here's another tale in the same storyverse. Two young men decide to explore a mysteriously abandoned boat, offshore near their poor Indonesian fishing village. But who would leave such a luxurious yacht, full of high-tech gear and jewelry, just sitting there on a sandbar?

You don't have to read the saga first to enjoy this, nor do you have to read this to follow the saga. It does give a little color, though, about just what sorts of cousins the saga MC Liz Foster has, lurking around the globe.

Enjoy, and remember, your feedback is my payment! Please tip the author!

Chapter 5 is up!

https://aryion.com/g4/view/1009487

Liz finally gets some answers, but at what price? She's running, but has to stop to fix one of her previous mistakes, eating plastic and metal that just won't digest. But some campers just don't know how to mind their own business...

I've reorganized the files into a comic-style folder, to make it clear that each story is also a chapter in the larger saga. Hope this helps my readers, both current and new.

Hey, 10000 views! More nice round zeroes!
