Next Story Idea Poll - January 2023
Vote on story ideas from the list below to help me choose the order of what I will write next (after commissions and other commitments), and I will try to start writing the winning story in January 2023. (In the situation of a tie, I will select a winner from the tied stories.)The winner of last month’s poll, Mary Christmas 2 (The Ending), should be done sometime around Christmas. Taller is still in progress. The last part of Sweet Celia should be coming soon as well.Consider the ideas below. Please let me know which one you want first.Your o...
Year-End Poll 2022 Results
Thank you so very much for participating in this first-ever (for me) Year-End Poll!There were 120 votes total for the different categories with some clear trends evident. However, there were some more inconclusive responses. So, I thought it best to just share the overall results with you in the attached images. Maybe you can help interpret the data with me.In the first section, I inquired about story length and the desirability of multiple parts. There was a clear interest in longer stories with multiple parts, which is a bit of a departure fr...
Bare New World - Ch 1 (Commission)
Enjoy a new reality-bending series commissioned by Jazper Hemsath.The lab was as cluttered as the young woman’s mind seemed. Jax followed her in, taking care not to catch an elbow on exposed wires or the sharp edges of electronic equipment. The whole room seemed to be wired together into one large machine.“You built all of this?” he asked her.“Yeah,” Andi admitted, proudly. “It’s been two years of constant work, but it should be ready for a full test soon.”Jax looked her over, trying to decide if she were 18 yet or not. He knew ...
Year-End Poll 2022
With the end of the year approaching, it seems like a good time to reflect on the past and look forward to the future. I appreciate you all for supporting me throughout the year, and I would hope to give you a reason to stay around. It is difficult, though, to know what type of writing you want to read most. The other polls have been good for specific circumstances, but I want to get an overall sense of what type of writing is your favorite. So, here is the year-end poll. I have tried to list out most of what I do here. Please pick all of the t...
December 2022 Updates
My generous supporters, thank you for your continuing support. As always, I appreciate you being here to read my weirdness. There are some big things on the way this month.First off, a little change for the start of this month. More new chapters of Edits are on the way, but there will not be a regular CYOA poll this month. I already have a few chapters to finish up, which were voted on earlier. In the place of the poll will be a, sort of, year-end poll. I want to get a sense of the type of writing you wish to see me doing in the year to come, s...
Sweet Celia: Mature Palate (Commission)
Originally commissioned by randomguy93.Tom returned from the bathroom to find Janice finishing his French fries.“Sorry,” she said, wiping the salt and oil from her fingers with a napkin. “I thought one of us should eat the fries before they got cold. The licorice is all yours.”The black strip of bitter candy that Celia had made for him was lying there on a napkin, waiting for him to eat it.The peppermint had made him younger. The chocolate and cherry treat had turned him into a girl. What awful thing would the licorice do to him now?“...
Edits - Ch 4.3.3
Chapter 4.3.3 - He turns Mr. Jacobson into a sexy woman.<< Previous (4.3) / OutlineIt seemed that Tim could not get Danielle off of his mind as he kept wondering what Mr. Jacobson would look like after a similar gender reversal. While it might not change the teacher’s attitude, becoming a woman would make him a little less intimidating and maybe a bit easier on the eyes.Tim edited the text of the teacher’s caption to revise the appearance, name, pronouns, and age (because, why not?):Evelyn Jacobson is a surprisingly sexy 36-year-old history...
My Best Friend The Witch: Suckers
My best friend is a witch, a real spell-casting witch. I know you probably think that sounds cool, like Esme and I must have lots of fun adventures with her magic. I wish. Most often, I just feel terrified of her. She’s frighteningly powerful, as well as dangerous, reckless, and cruel.Let me give you an example of what I mean.***I was home alone one afternoon, babysitting my twin baby brothers. They were hungry, and I was… feeding them.I heard the front door open, and Adrian, my younger brother, walked in the room a moment later. He took on...

Thoughts on the Death of DeviantArt
Hey, everyone, I could use your help.DeviantArt has been good to me. I found an audience there. If you are reading this now, most likely it’s because you found me there or you found the link to this post there. Now, with the new AI stuff they’re forcing on people, I can imagine that many artists will be abandoning the platform. As a writer, I’m not too concerned about AI copying from my work, but I think this might lead to the death of DA as a place for people looking to find art or publish it.For a little while now, I’ve been casually ...
Edits - Ch 6.1.1
Chapter 6.1.1 - He makes the bully more petite.<< Previous (6.1) / OutlineTim decided that this current female version of Chris was still too big and dangerous. If only Chris were a bit shorter and skinnier, he would be much easier to handle. Before approaching the bully, Tim would need to do something to cut him down to size.Tim opened the caption for Chris and tried out a few edits before settling on:Chris Baker is a petite 17-year-old girl. Her body is much shorter and skinnier than average. (Show more.)Tim made sure that the previous custom...
Edits CYOA Poll - November 2022
Here is a list of story options from reader comments and my own ideas. Vote on all the ones you would like to see added to the Edits CYOA (you may select multiple options). I will write chapters for some of the most popular ones. Post comments here as well if you want to share any other ideas not on the list.

Edits - Ch 4.1.2.2
Chapter 4.1.2.2 - He keeps them all at 8 years old.<< Previous (4.1.2) / OutlineTim was curious what would happen next if he kept everyone this age. Besides, it might be fun to spend some time as an 8-year-old. It had been a while since he had seen the world from this perspective. He waited for the end of class, wondering what would be waiting for him out there. Then, the bell rang, and the class filed out into the hallway with Tim bringing up the rear.The hallways were mostly full of ordinary teenage students, who towered over Tim and the othe...
November 2022 Updates
Thank you very much, my generous supporters. I appreciate you staying with me for another month. Expect to see some interesting writing this month.First off, here is what should be ready soon. As per usual, more new chapters of Edits are on the way. The CYOA poll for this month will start shortly, including a mix of new ideas and old ideas. Additionally, there will be some commissions ready to be published soon as well, but they are not included below.Check out the list of what I will write soon, as well as the winner of the Next Story Idea Pol...
Any Day but Halloween
Halloween was coming, and I wanted nothing to do with it. I figured that no one else would want to have anything to do with it either, not after everything that had happened this year. I was wrong, though.“What do you think of my costume?” my 6-year-old sister asked.I had been staring out the window, off into space, thinking about how life used to be. Turning to face Brittany, I was forced to confront what life had become. She had fashioned a pink princess dress out of some old sheets. Christmas-tree silver garland was wrapped around her he...
My Best Friend The Witch: Talisman
My best friend is a witch, a real spell-casting witch. I know you probably think that sounds cool, like Esme and I must have lots of fun adventures with her magic. I wish. Most often, I just feel terrified of her. She’s frighteningly powerful, as well as dangerous, reckless, and cruel.Let me give you an example of what I mean.***One night, I woke up when I heard someone knocking on my window. I knew it would be Esme since my bedroom is upstairs. I figured that she would be riding her broomstick.“Jamie,” she whispered to me. “Open up.”...
Edits - Ch 5.1.1
Chapter 5.1.1 - Alter Steven’s thoughts to make him attracted to Tim.<<Previous (5.1) / OutlineWhat good was this app if not to allow him to alter things to his advantage? Tim reasoned. Steven would be happy with him. He just needed to make sure that Steven felt the same way that he did.Tim checked the caption again:Steven Roberts is a 16-year-old boy. He enjoys athletic competition, including playing soccer and wrestling. He lives with his father, mother, little sister, and two pet dogs. Although he has only come out to a few close friends, ...
Next Story Idea Poll - November 2022
(Sorry for being a little late again. It has been a crazy week for me.)Vote on story ideas from the list below to help me choose the order of what I will write next (after commissions and other commitments), and I will try to start writing the winning story in November 2022. (In the situation of a tie, I will select a winner from the tied stories.)The winner of last month’s poll has been renamed My Best Friend The Witch: Talisman, and I have decided to divide it up into a series of stories instead of one huge collection. Part 1 will be publis...
The Minotaur Djinn: Wishing Ring (Commission)
A commission for Kayllik.The magic ring fit on Cameron’s finger, but just barely. However, nothing happened when he slipped it on. He had been expecting the gem to glow or a breeze to kick up in his living room. At least a little tingle of static electricity would have been enough, but there was nothing. It was only a simple gold ring with an emerald gem, an ordinary antique. Just when he started to believe that he had been scammed, he heard floorboards creak behind him. Annoyed, thinking that his roommate had come home early from his party, ...
Billing Poll
Should I change the billing from the current 1st of the month cycle to the new date joined option?You've probably been asked this before by other creators. It makes sense not to charge someone twice in a month when they join. The only concern I have about the change is how it would affect access to polls. My current monthly polls are set up to be available on certain dates. If someone joins too late for a poll one month, would that be seen as not getting what you paid for? I'm not sure what people would think. Give me some feedback if y...
Edits - Ch 6.2
Chapter 6.2 - He regresses the bully.<< Previous (6) / OutlineChris would be so much easier to handle if he were smaller and weaker, and making him younger would be a simple way of cutting him down to size. Obviously, that was the way to go. But, what age would be best? Also, what setting would allow for the maximum amount of humiliation for Chris?The hallways cleared out when the passing period was nearly over, and Tim headed to his next class. He barely paid any attention to what was going on as he pondered how to regress Chris.In his noteboo...

Second Person
(Self-Hypnosis)You think this is just a story, something experimental, written in second person. Very well, you can believe that if it makes you feel safe. It’s possible that belief might save you, but it probably won’t.Keep reading.You clicked the link, thinking that you might enjoy an entertaining bit of transformation fiction. You wanted to read a story about somebody else transforming. Maybe you wanted to experience the change, vicariously. However, his story is not about someone else. It’s about you.You’re curious. “Where is this...
Game Room not Baby Room
“Welcome to my man cave,” Bob said, leading Dave in.“Wow,” he said, genuinely impressed. “You really did a lot of remodeling in this old bedroom. How big is that TV?”“Seventy-five inches!” Bob said. “With a full surround sound system. Of course, every game console from this generation.”Dave looked at the art on the walls and gaming collectables on shelves. “This is pretty impressive.”“I’ve dreamed about having a room like this since I was a kid,” Bob said, taking a seat on his recliner. He offered a controller to D...

I’ve got some fun stories featuring fantastic creatures and weird witchcraft on your way in the spirit of the spooky season.

Three Little Wishes 4
The weather had begun to turn on the beach, growing cloudy and cool. Owen was tired of shivering in the water and had turned his attention to treasure hunting. He was sifting through the sand with a plastic trowel in search of pirate gold. Already, he had found an old soda can lid and an odd chunk of red plastic, which signaled to him that the gold was near.“Owen!” called Ivy. “Mom said we’re leaving now. Come back to the blanket.”Owen pretended not to hear his big sister and dug a little deeper. Plastic and metal made contact, and he...
Edits - Ch 4.4
Chapter 4.4 - He turns everyone female.<<Previous (4) / OutlineDanielle must still have been on Tim’s mind, because all he could think of doing was turning more boys into girls.Tim checked the caption again and made a quick change:This world history class is made up of mostly 16-year-old students, all girls. (Show more.)Tim pressed save, and as with Danielle, a text box appeared that asked him “Do you wish to automatically revise the subjects’ names and pronouns?” Once more, Tim pressed “Yes.”As the app started “Initializing chang...
Suitable
It was supposed to have been the dog. Daniel loved his pet labrador, and Missy had been his loyal companion for seven years, over half his life. No doubt she would not have objected to it.However, the screams from Kelly’s room indicated that something unexpected had happened. Leaving Missy behind, Tim ran over to check on his big sister, hoping that whatever was upsetting her had nothing to do with the spell he had just cast. Unfortunately, it was just as Daniel had feared. He found Kelly sitting on her desk chair, staring at her hands, watch...
