Well, it is Christmas Eve here at Casa Bulgroz, and I am officially giving up on getting The Adjusters #47 out in December. For the first time in four years, I am missing a monthly installment. Which sucks, and makes me feel miserable. Installment #47 will come out as the January installment. I'm incredibly sorry about that. Not only because I feel I've let you all down, but mostly because I've let myself down.
But in the spirit of the Holidays, I shall try to forgive myself, and forge ahead with happy thoughts and a renewed hope that I can get my writing process back on track.
In the meantime, Merry Christmas if you celebrate it, and if not, well, have a Happy Last Wednesday in December!
Here are two stories to keep you entertained during the Holidays.
First, Digital Spy, by Davet1: “Surveillance expert meets horny divorcee.” The guy is a ethically-challenged bastard, and he meets an insatiable nymphomaniac. What could possibly go wrong? Actually nothing—it goes amazingly right. A fun not-so-consentual tale of depraved sex.
Second, Amber: The Making of a Fuck Toy, by Richard Bissell. No official description, but it's not hard to make one up: Amber comes to her teacher Mr. Bradley asking him to fuck her. He says that he only fucks sluts. She says she can become one for him. He says he's not so sure. She proves him wrong. Sexy tale full of sex and happy domination.

Update on The Adjusters #47
This should come as no surprise given the delay on The Adjusters #46, but that delay means that #47 is not quite ready yet. I'm hoping to cross the Ts and dot the Is by this weekend, barring unforeseen eventualities.
The difference between writing #46 and #47 is rather astonishing. Both #44 and #46 were really difficult to write, and I kept making major changes at the revision stage for both of them. Comparatively speaking, #43, #45, and the upcoming #47 are straightforward. It's pretty clear that I'm finding it difficult to write Jenn at the stage she's at, and #44 and #46 have been entirely from Jenn's perspective, with a lot going on, most of it internal. And I find it tough to get it right. In contrast, #43, #45, and #47 are straight-up plot development, with a clear direction. Action versus character, I guess.
I suspect there's a lesson there that I could study, but I'm too zonked to think about it tonight.
I'll leave you with a pair of long stories that I've just discovered, The Chronicles of Rita, and Delia's Story. I have no clue if they're any good, but they seem to be well written, and the setup is certainly intriguing. They take place in a world were slavery is legal again, and they feel very... Gorean in nature, if you allow me the expression. But as I said, I don't know if that's true. Still, pointer tossed your way, for your smutty edification.
