Confession Time!!!
So, my new editor (who goes by thegoofyproofyreader on Literotica) has caught up to current a few days ago, and has given me a bunch of fixes to be made. We are no longer waiting on them... we're waiting on me.
I hoped I would be finished working with them on the edits and be posting the chapter now, if not have posted it a few days ago and be working on the hundreds of things they caught in my the previous chapters so I could post wonderful edits to Literotica to be published (whenever they get approved, edits have taken anywhere between two weeks and two months to be approved and applied).
Well, as you can tell by the fact I'm making this post... that hasn't happened. My main job has been crazy, the holidays are taking some free time, and my wife and kid have been sick. It's taken a fair about out of me, but I appreciate your patience waiting for there next chapter. With Christmas being next week, and me taking the week off from work, (yes, I'll be spending time with my wife, son, and family I have living nearby) I hope to get some good work in writing as well.
I make the same promise I've made before. I'm not stopping writing the stories I've started until they've reached their (hopefully) satisfying conclusions. And I assure you, I have more ideas. I have 11 more stories that I have starts for (so like a chapter written and a storyline fleshed out) from before I started publishing, in addition to the new ideas I've had since I started. Some of those ideas are probably better than others, but I'm hoping to eventually finish and publish all of them.
I started writing my erotic (smut) stories because a medical procedure put a kink in my (very active) sex life with my wife and I needed an outlet. So while you all seem to really enjoy these stories... honestly, "A Hero's Rebirth" is the first story I started writing with the intent to publish. I never thought anyone would read, or like, anything I was writing. I started publishing figuring, hey, they were better than some of the stuff of Literotica (though I acknowledge there is some stuff on there that's probably better than mine, or more closely hits people's kinks) so I published my first stories. Then when they were popular, I decided to see what people thought when I let my nerd out, so "A Hero's Rebirth" was born.
Now, I'm almost certain that their will be more fantasy erotica once I work through my current stories. But in my writing, like everything else I do, I make long term commitments. I don't want to rush things. I don't want to cut things short. So, I expect most of my stories will end up quite long before teaching their conclusions. I might try and throw in shorter stories that are "one and done" just to feel like I'm not leading you all on (Tell me what you think about that in the comments), but I'm going to keep writing until the stories are told.
Sorry if this has been a bit of a ramble. I'm tired. I'm exhausted. But I felt like you all deserved an update and a thank you for your continued support. It's a great motivator to interact with you all. I appreciate you. I hope you all are having a fabulous holiday season, and I hope to be giving you the next chapters soon. Sorry once more for being slow.

Regarding the shorter stories: I feel a bit conflicted about that. Right now, I would prefer you to focus on your current stuff (perhaps with a priority for A Hero's Rebirth and What Happens In The Dark). Though the occasional short story would probably be good in the grand scheme of things. I suppose my opinion depends on how much effort a shorter story is relative to a long/normal chapter. (And an example of a NaughtyPaladin short story may help me form my own opinion) Thanks for the update! Don't worry too much about getting the next chapter out. While I am excited for more chapters, it is better for us all if you don't burn out. I hope your wife and kid get well soon and that you enjoy the time off. Happy holidays :)
Thanks for the update, i dont think many people will be surprised Christmas gets crazy
