For this week’s spelunk through the glittering caves of Archivelarond I’ve collected ten stories from the updates posted in June 2013. Eight years ago! Honestly, for me “eight years ago” feels like it should be some time in the ‘90s, when New Kids on the Block and Take That were… wait, nevermind, I get it now. Anyway, some great stuff down there, so check it out, and as always please upvo...

This week I decided to revisit the fantasy story “The Winds of Brsa”. Now I kind of want to spend a week there on vacation, or maybe a decade. It’s been a stressful spring and I could definitely use some time on a pleasant mystical isle with an amorous breeze to make me feel welcome. And there’s more down there you might find interesting, so check it out and make sure to upvote and comment th...

NEW CHAPTER: "The winds of Brsa," Part 2 by BRK—Doran meets the handsome leader of the Brsans and discovers that his acquisition of scryspeak and the wind’s amorous attentions to him may all be part of a larger tale.

For this week’s expedition through the fabled storylands of the Lost Continent of the Archives, I’ve collected ten tales that hinge on graduation ceremonies in one fashion or another. As the transition-point between the artificially insular academic world and the new realities to come, commencement always seems to seem like a moment between the two, possessing both unreality and mundanity and bel...

This week I’ve returned to “Finding Owen”, the sequel to the commissioned story “Love/Shift” involving a shifter named Owen meeting some werewolves and inadvertently stirring things up within their pack. This segment sets up the final stage of the story and as such turned out a bit darker, and there’s some violence which is now tagged; but this is one thread of a story that’s mainly abo...

Hmm, now that I’ve written it out that daffodils reference doesn’t really go with the idea of redheads. What flowers are most typically orange-red in color? Marigolds, maybe? So, let’s picture William Wordsworth wandering through a host of marigolds instead. Of course, thanks to a segment on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me that venerable and august poem is now, for me, forever reass...

Picking this one up was fun in an unusual way because I had ended the previous chapter with new changes to be applied overnight, so now I had to lay out the consequences of what I’d written, triggering the bombs I planted several months back. Anyway, hope you like. Lots of other interesting stuff down there too, s...

Novellas are customarily said to range 17,500 or 20,000 to 40,000 words. The implication is that anything longer than that is a novel, but these days if you look up the definition of novel you’re told that the length of a novel, like a man’s legs in Abraham Lincoln’s famous joke, is however long it needs to be. Fair enough, but that’s a lot harder to build a flashback around. I figured I’d ...

(I'm posting this in my various channels, including here.)
This week sees a new set of chapters in the Patreon-commissioned story “One Hot Summer”. There’s a lot pending with Mike, Bran, and Eddie, and with Jay, Zac, and the rest; but I had to go back and check on Benji and see how his sudden, more extreme growth was treating him. If you’re wondering why the update was a few hours later than usual, well, I was making sure Benji was as happy as I coul...

NEW CHAPTERS: "One hot summer", Parts 30–33 by BRK—Benji has grown out of all his clothes, so, donning a comically too-small pair of sweatpants, he seeks out the local menswear store for help—not knowing that the associate he’s about to meet is the right man for the job in more ways than one.

For this week’s trip on the George Pal time machine we’re visiting May 2015, six years in the past. The resulting collection is an interesting variety, and I hope there’s something for you to enjoy—yes, you.

This week’s flashback celebrates guys with three legs. Since there are a over a couple dozen stories on the site with the “three legs” tag, I left out stories where three-legged guys appear as part of a larger story and tried to focus instead on stories where the main characters have that sweet trio of thighs, calves, knees, shins, and feet.
The next update is tomorrow, 1 May. In the mean...

This week I have one story instead of the tentatively promised two, but I still intend to compensate for last week’s schedule slip with an extra story sometime in the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, my contribution this week is “The Misspent Curse”. The title gives you the basic premise, and any more than that would be spoilers. Hope you find something to enjoy in this week’s offerings, and ...

This week’s tromp through the past-forest takes us all the way back to April of 2012, during the site’s slightly thrilling fifteenth anniversary. It was the early days of the wiki version of the site (an archived version from later that year can be seen here, if you dare), and having reached such a milestone I was more intent than I had been in recent years on growing the site with content, mine ...

Um, no story from me this week, sorry. The one I was working on needed a rethink in the middle and I didn’t have time to fix it properly, so the plan is to have two stories next week if I can swing it; but I wanted to go ahead and have an update and share this week’s contributions with you anyway, because I think still having an update on Saturday and then catching up on my contributions the foll...

In my database I use X as the highly imaginative and original placeholder title for these flashbacks, and this week I decided to make it the theme: story titles that feature someone or something with an “x” in its name. There are a lot of story titles that happen to include that letter, so I made it so had to be a name (maybe some other time I’ll survey all the “experiment”s, “experience...

This week I have two commissioned stories, one via Patreon and one through Paypal—my first direct commission outside of Patreon. The first submission is two chapters of a new story in the Arsenalverse called “The Smuggler”, involving a randy thief, a sexy prince, and an artifact that sure looks like something you’d call a cockdragon. The second story, “Muscle Crush”, involves a nerdy guy ...

Muscle crush by BRK—Nerdy Vince has a hopeless crush on his hunky coworker, Johnny, which only gets more painful when they have to room together on an extended business trip. Knowing Johnny only hangs with other hunks like himself, Vince unexpectedly finds a way to put on muscle and make Johnny notice him at last.

This week’s peregrination through our repository of previously posted prurience looks at stories that take place at one of those unusual and hard-to-find gyms where the staff and clientele are randy and impossibly-built and strange things happen not just in the showers or the locker rooms but right out there on the floor amid the free-weights. All that, while the other gym-goers and personal traine...

For this week’s traipse through the back catalog, we’re looking at stories from April of 2018.
