Hey all, it's been a brutal five or so years, and I wanna post an update to go through it all. It will be a long update, but I'll do a tl;dr version, so no fear. Basically I've been getting a bit of trouble to get my Patreon back up and running because of changes made to their policy regarding adult

Hey all. Things have not been well. I'll just do a writing update first and say I haven't been able to produce anything of value since the last update, though not for a lack of trying. The interruptions from my health problems have been too much to really allow me to get into any kind of groove, and

So, shortly after my last update, I had another medical incident and had to be hospitalized again. This one wasn't as bad as the previous one which required emergency surgery, but it was a major cause for concern since I've been taking all of the necessary precautions to prevent this from happening,

Hey all. So, I'm out of the hospital. Have actually been out for close to a month now, but the situation was (and still is) pretty bleak. During my last stint, I ended up being barely conscious/asleep for extended periods of time, and it really did a number on my body. I lost a lot of basic limb fun

Brief update again. I'm back in the hospital, but this time there is a bit of good news with the bad. It seems we finally have a definitive answer about what's going on with me, and knowing what we're dealing with will go a long way towards actual recovery. That said, I'm looking at long term treatm

This update might be a bit brief, but I've not been well. The short explanation is that I'm experiencing health problems that I thought were side effects of my meds but may not be after all. I don't know what's wrong yet, and I'm in the process of doing some tests to figure it out. Will do a more de

I seem to have hit a bit of a serious wall with Banished. The chapter stands at about 60 pages, but in the final few days of the month I could not for the life of me work it into something readable/acceptable enough to post, and I suspect it'll take a bit of work to fix it. The problem is that I thi

The work on chapter 23 has been difficult. I think all of the interruptions really messed with my idea flow a bit, so I spent some time trying to get things back on track last week. I think it's starting to come together now, but the writing is still coming along a bit slowly. I'm gonna hunker down

Been working on Chapter 23 of Banished. It's at ~20 pages atm. This week has a lot of interruptions, but I'm gonna keep at it. Will do another update over the weekend. ~Kousaka.

Chapter 20 finally came up on lit this morning. You can check it out here: https://www.literotica.com/s/banished-pt-20 If you can drop by and vote etc. when you have some time, it'd be much appreciated. Chapter 22 is done and edited, but I haven't posted it yet because something feels off about it.

Chapter 22 of Banished is almost done. There is a scene that I had to cut that I'm still trying to figure out how to work into the chapter, but apart from that it stands at 56 pages. I'm gonna still try to work the additional scene in while doing the edit, but I also can't seem to catch a break this

Mini update just to say, yesterday (Saturday) was my birthday. (I know some of you were curious about my age; I turned 32. Lol). As for the writing, I continued work on chapter 22 of Banished. Difficult to say though how many pages I'm at since I had to throw out like a dozen pages, and apart from t

Well, let me start out with a happy new year to everyone! Apologies for the lack of updates at the end of last month but it was a nightmare period of time that I'm just hoping to recover from and get on with writing. As of my last update, I was going into working on Trapped again, but that really re

Okay! So, last week I got a little stuck with Banished, so I decided to try working on Trapped for a bit. I kept at it for most of the week, but it was quite miserable. It did, however, help me through the little block I ran into on Banished, and I was able to complete chapter 21 today (tentative le

Chapter 19 of 'Banished' went live on lit this morning, so drop by and give it a vote etc when you can! https://literotica.com/s/banished-pt-19 Was pretty busy this weekend (since Friday, really), so wasn't able to get any writing done, but I'm planning on wrapping up chapter 21 of Banished this wee

So, I'd planned to have another release up for you this month, but this weekend was a disaster. I still might have been able to manage it if I pushed myself w/ an all-nighter tonight into tomorrow, but I kind of realized I need to stop going overboard like that because it's really not sustainable. S

Doing a short update just to let you all know what's going on; this morning I was contacted by someone via lit asking if I was aware of one of my stories being sold on Amazon. The story turned out to be 'Trapped in a Game', which had been renamed as 'The Game Warden' by an author called 'James Tigra

Wrapped up writing the final chapter of 'Banished' last night. The final tentative length is ~69 pages. Will go it over and give it an edit tonight, maybe into tomorrow. I'm not convinced that there is anything major to fix, but given that it is the final chapter of the arc, I'll prob double check b

Okay, so Banished chapter 20 is up to 61 pages. I was unfortunately not able to get any work done at all since Friday, but it is very very near to the ending. I basically just need to write one scene which gives an air of finality to proceedings, then it'll be ready for the edit/posting. For the upc

Chapter 18 went live on lit this morning. When you have some time, please drop by and vote/etc (link below): https://www.literotica.com/s/banished-pt-18 I'm going ahead with the proposed event of choosing a scene from the story to illustrate. To that end, please make some suggestions! Reversal and S

Lit has confirmed that the new chapter of Banished will come out over there tomorrow, so look out for that. Chapter 20 is at 43~ pages. I was hoping to have finished over the weekend, but wrapping up is taking some time. Cameron is, as you might expect, a little broken up over the loss of her son, a

Chapter 18 of Banished has been submitted to Lit. Chapter 20 is currently at ~35 pages, and I estimate it might end up being somewhere in the vicinity of 50 pages or so. I'm still hoping to be able to wrap that up by this weekend. In other news, I've gotten into contact with someone willing to recor

Let me start by welcoming aboard the new pledgees! I'm going to be submitting chapter 18 of Banished to Lit on Tuesday, so if anyone wants their names added to the patron thank you list, please hit me with a message to do so. Those who are on the list already need not message unless you want out of

Chapter 17 of Banished came up on Lit last night. You can check it out at: https://www.literotica.com/beta/s/banished-pt-17 Please drop by and vote etc. if you can, I'd really appreciate it. I've continued working on chapter 20. It's at ~12 pages so far. This chapter is going to have two parts, with

I'll be submitting chapter 17 of Banished to lit tonight, so just a quick call for any new/current patrons, if you would like to be acknowledged in the chapter for your patronage, hit me up with a message and let me know what name I should use when thanking you (this is optional, fyi). Regards, Kous

Well, Chapter 19 is done, I think. Tentative length pre-edit is 119 pages. This one might take me a couple of days to get through editing but hopefully I'll have it ready for you by tomorrow. There will also be an additional surprise along with the release. 😁 With love, Kousaka~

Okay, off to a little slow of a start. Chapter 19 is now up to 110 pages, and I think it might be done in another ten or so more pages. I am not looking forward to that edit, although in the past week before getting back into writing, I did try to rework some of the more problematic bits (mostly jus

So, a bit of good news in the bleak pit of despair that was September, but holy crap Chapter 15 of Banished placed second overall for August month's reader's choice award! Serious, mega major thank you to everyone who voted and just supported my continued writing in general! September was pretty bad

I am a mess. Started throwing up on Monday morning before my doctor's visit. Had to get drips/IV while there, but the nausea lasted well into last night. Haven't thrown up for today, but if I do I really will have to be hospitalized. Feeling like crap, though. I actually thought I was feeling much b

Okay, some bad news. I got confirmation this week that my sickness was in fact Covid, which at the time, I didn't take on too much since I'd suspected as much for some time now, but also because I felt as if I were getting better. Checking in with a doctor today, however, it seems that I'm not out o

Holy balls sacks, we just hit 150 patrons! Let me just say welcome aboard to all of the new pledgees, and say a mega-thank you to all of you awesome people for contributing to my work! As for progress, chapter 19 of Banished hit 60 pages today. I was able to finally get back to writing these last fe

Quick update just to say 'Achievement Unlocked'! Banished is unofficially at 1,000 pages and 400,000 words. 😁

Okay, so I am at home now. My wife is with my parents staying at one of her relative's house, and I did get tested but the results may not be in until Tuesday, maybe. Since I am sick, we're taking the necessary precautions, but I'm not seriously sick, and hopefully it'll remain that way. I am doing

Okay, so a bit of non-writing stuff came up this past week. Since I've been home during this virus crisis, I've been part of a neighborhood initiative of sorts to help some of the older folk get around to do the stuff they need to (basically just making trips to the bank, getting groceries, other ne

Chapter 18 of Banished is currently at ~46 pages. I was hoping to have it done by today, but my weekend got a bit derailed since we're returning to a partial lock down where I'm at, and my wife had a bit of a dental emergency. 😢 I'm hoping to wrap it up tonight, since I don't think it'll really cro

Been working on Chapter 17 of Banished. It's at ~35 pages right now, but I think this might be a short one. Originally I'd planned the final 3 chapters to go recovery/training-> final battle-> aftermath, but the recovery part of this chapter is still ongoing so I think I might just split that chapte

Chapter 14 of Banished came up on lit last night, so head on over there and vote etc. when you can. :) (Link below) https://www.literotica.com/s/banished-pt-14 I've decided to take a shot at this twitter thing, so if you're on there and want to, follow me @kousakacomplex1. I know I said I was gonna

Chapter 14 has been to submitted to Lit. I'm not sure if it'll come up by this weekend; but maybe by Monday/Tuesday next week. There are a few days left in the month, so most likely I'll use the time to rest a bit, and also go through the skill suggestions submitted this month. I am also considering

Thanks to a fairly productive weekend, I just wrapped up the writing of chapter 16 of Banished. The tentative final length is 61 pages, though there are a few things that I plan on adding in while doing the edit. Ordinarily I would get to work on it immediately, but I didn't get any sleep at all las

Chapter 13 of Banished came up on lit this morning, so head over there and vote etc as soon as you can! :) This week I decided to press on with chapter 16 of Banished, which is now at ~30 pages. This might be another long chapter, though, so I'll probably do another update when the weekend is done t

Submitted chapter 13 of Banished to Lit, so that might be up by next weekend. Will do an update of the character cheat sheet a little later tonight as well, to add in the new characters, as well as the ones that I missed. I'm a little torn on how to proceed atm. The plan was a third chapter of Banis

So, the writing for chapter 15 of Banished is more or less done, although there are a few parts that I think need expanding a bit when I'm doing the edit/reread. I had intended to get it up today, but I don't think I can manage it. Had a bit of a family emergency to deal with over the past few days,

Was really surprised to see Chapter 12 of Banished coming up on lit last night. I'd figured it would come up later on in the week, so please drop by and vote etc when you can. I've been working on chapter 15 of Banished, but work seems to be going slow once again. I'm currently at ~21 pages, so I'll

Chapter 12 of Banished has been submitted to Lit, though with the special contest being handled this week, it may take a little while to come up. As for our own 'special event' for this month, I've decided to go ahead with the 'suggest a skill' idea. I've created a survey via surveymonkey which will

Gods be praised, I'm finally done with the writing for chapter 14 of Banished! At least, I think. :S I'll try to give it a read tonight and get it posted, but the tentative length is ~63 pages, so it may take a little while. Take care, Kousaka~

Chapter 10 of Banished is up on lit, and I plan on submitting chapter 11 tonight. Chapter 14 is coming along, though a little slowly since I had some stuff to do. It's presently at ~14 pages, and I also didn't manage to get around to the storiesonline page. :S I'll probably try to get around to it a

WOOOW on hitting 100 patrons! I wanna start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who pledged, especially the new pledges this month. Welcome aboard, and I hope you'll continue to enjoy my writing. When I got back to writing and posting in February, this goal seemed out of sight, but now I'm starti

The short story I mentioned is up on Lit, and the title is 'Beck Takes Her Clothes Off'. Votes would be appreciated, though I do think it's not in the running for any places at the contest, which is fine. I mean, I wrote it primarily as a form of stress relief, and in like 2 days :S As for Trapped,

Ugh, this weekend was terrible. Work on trapped started slowly, then turned outright frustrating. I think I rewrote the opening ten pages about three times before I decided to take a break from it. I thought about working on Banished a bit, but since I've done three chapters this month, I didn't thi

I've decided to make the switch from per creation to monthly official, since the per creation thing was only to prevent patrons from ever being charged for a month in which no content was produced while I was working. Now that content is being consistently delivered, and I was only ever charging onc
