So, how am I doing?

Fri, 03 Jun 2016 16:06:24 -0400

Hello all those who actually read these things. An update. First, you’ll notice two chapters have gone up. The one I just finished, while I was just lazy with chapter 6. I wasn’t in the mood to update the web site, so it was just up at Storiesonline. You have everything now. I’m working on a short story, untitled. you may see that before chapter 8.

As for my health, it’s gone down hill a bit. Fell last night. I’m more tired and unstable, vision reading/writing wise is bad so things like this take awhile. Pleasue forgive any delays.

I’ve tossed a donation link to the right in the sidebar. I don’t expect much, but you never know. I’ve realized I need something bigger than my iPad mini. as with my eyes it can’t make comic or some websites big enough.

Clitorides and an update

Sun, 17 Apr 2016 16:15:50 -0400

You’re probably seeing a flood of old blog posts in the “new files” list. I apologize. I updated the sidebar, and it’s probably updating every blog page.

First things first. Voting for the Clitorides ends April 30th. Please vote. I have one story nominated, “The Bells Ring for Squirrels”. If you prefer it to the other stories, give it a vote.

Second, I’ve done a physical printing of the third Nowy Poland book, The Spirit of Poland, with a cover by my niece. A new printing of book 2 with her cover is coming up, as well as a printing of book one and A Servant of Wisdom. If anyone is interested in a copy, it’s $12 for Spirit. I’ll have to see what the printing costs of the others are now.

Third, some of you are probably annoyed that I never posted the last chapters of The Wizards of Nowy Warsaw here. It has no sex, so really didn’t fit. But, I’m slowly re-writing it and will probably update it here then. The first draft is complete at Storiesonline.

Fourth, my health is stable, meaning I can write some of the time, and no longer fall if I’m using a walker. The weather is good, so I may venture out for walks in a week or three. On food stamps, but all other aid is caught in the usual paperwork nightmare. A thanks to those supporting me on Patreon.

Lots of new stuff

Sun, 27 Mar 2016 19:24:10 -0400

After a few weeks of being in rather bad shape, I’m now at least functional. So much so, some writing was done. First, I’ve posted all five chapters of My Heart has Seen the Glory. I was writing this when my attack happened, and I’m in no mood to continue. If someone wants to continue it, feel free to ask.

Second, you have the third chapter of the new story, Have Cane, Will Travel. With luck, this story will get at least two chapters a month.

Third, a non-sex story that fits between the second and third Nowy Poland books, Dyngus Day.

Thanks for your support. Patreon and store links are in the sidebar and menu.

Note from Invid Fan: My Life Has Now Changed

Wed, 27 Jan 2016 17:16:52 -0500

A stroke-like attack has left me unable to work, drive, or walk without a cane. There are good odds this won’t improve. I’m downsizing my life, moving into a small apartment, and signing up for every social service I can.

This could take months, a year.

So, I’m turning to you, my readers. There’s a lot of you. Even a dollar a month from enough readers can really help. I know I haven’t updated ASSTR for the last few month, and I’m sorry. Those chapters will go up soon, and I promise all future stories will be here as well. So, if you can, please to to https://www.patreon.com/invidfan. It will really help.

Thank you.

Invid Fan

New book starting: Wizards of Nowy Warsaw

Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:18:24 -0500

So, yes. After two short sex stories, we’re back to long books with little sex. I apologize. I’ll probably be doing some short erotic stuff to keep you satisfied as I take breaks from this. I have ideas floating around. Anyway, this one is the fourth Nowy Poland story, and starts off a day or two before A Leader Born. Expect it to parallel the other stories for a bit.

The Spirit of Poland is finished

Wed, 10 Sep 2014 19:13:25 -0400

Another story finally done. I hope you enjoyed it. I know the sex content has been too low for this site. I plan on making up for that with some erotic short stories. Hell, you might even get one I’ll be unable to post on SOL due to content restrictions. We will see. I’m not sure when I’ll return to Nowy Poland. Someday, most likely.

Sorry for the delays

Tue, 05 Aug 2014 15:52:58 -0400

Hello.

First, I apologize for the delays. Various things have come up, and I’ve just been lazy. Literally, I’d sit down to write, do a few sentences, then decide to do something else. Re-installing The Sims 2 hasn’t helped. Oh, what a time sink that is… Anyway, I think I can keep things going until this book is finished. We’re getting close to the end, but I’ll put no chapter count on it. Book 1 was 15 chapters, Book 2 18. This will be somewhere in the middle, probably.

I have ideas for various short sex stories, so that will probably be what comes next. I may also revise A Servant of Wisdom a bit. The story is fine, but I’m now more familiar with the religious concepts behind it. So, any changes will be for me more than for you ^_^

Another chapter of The Spirit of Poland

Wed, 28 May 2014 20:17:42 -0400

Hello, readers. Or listeners, if you’re using some sort of text to speach program. Can’t forget you.

Various things are going on. The new story, at least on my end, is progressing well. I’m enjoying it, which is the main thing. I have an ending in sight which I consider a good one. We’ll have to see if anyone agrees with that. My goal, posting wise, is less that a week between chapters. So, no real schedule, as life will interfear with any attempt to keep to one of those.

Some of you may have noticed the problems ASSTR is currently having. Most of them seem to be solved now. Over in a rarely used author’s mailing list some are complaining about the email forms not working. If you’d like to drop me a line, do so at invidfan at gmail. I’ve yet to get any feedback from this site, so if you like the story let me know.

I’ve yet to have anyone use my new store, although there have been some visitors. Buying ebooks makes a great way to donate. As does my Patreon page, naturally!

New Book, New Bookstore

Thu, 08 May 2014 15:16:13 -0400

Hello.

Well, first things first. I’ve started a new story, a sequel to A Nation Forged. Two chapters of The Sprit of Poland went up today, with one or two more coming each week. Enjoy.

I’ve also bitten the bullet and changed bookstores, actually paying money for a decent storefront. If you’d like ebooks, or even print versions, check it out. I now have A Nation Forged and Where Friendship Leads available in both formats, with A Servant of Wisdom coming soon.

New stuff is coming

Wed, 23 Apr 2014 22:17:14 -0400

Hello, all.

Well, first, I want to thank all those who voted in the 2013 Clitorides Awards. My stories lost, but it’s not about winning or losing. It’s about highlighting the good erotic stories out there, and I think we did that.

Having said that, next year you guys have got to step it up and get me at least one win :)

I’m currently working on two projects. One is a secret project with Letoria, which is going slowly but well. More news on that later. I’ve also started the thrid Nowy Poland book. The first chapter is done, but while I plan on posting while I write, I’ll be holding off until another chapter or two is done to make sure there actually is a story here. Have patience.

A Nation Forged is finished

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 21:13:08 -0400

Well, it’s done. 18 chapters and way too many weeks. An ebook and print version will be coming eventually, but given past history those will probably just be for me to enjoy. Anyone who wants to prove me wrong can go to my bookstore :)

Thanks to all who have followed along, and to my Patreon sponsors. I am truely grateful.

There will be a book 3, eventually, but nothing is planned now. I’m moving on to other stories.

Oh, before I forget, final voting for the Clitorides awards are now open. Three of my stories have made the final ballot, in the Humor, Fantasy, and Gay/Lesbian catagories. Please go and vote!

A New Chapter, a New Bookstore

Mon, 03 Feb 2014 23:47:32 -0500

Well, it took less than a week for this chapter to come out. We’ll see if that trend continues. We are closing on the end of this book, but we’re not quite there yet. There may also be a surprise short story for you to look forward to.

You may have noticed all my web pages uploaded again. This is due to my changing something in the main menu, namely my bookstore. WePay, where I had my old one, is phasing out that kind of thing, as well as their donation buttons. So, I’ve had to find a new site. It uses Paypal, which isn’t ideal, but I can sell ebook downloads so I now offer that in addition to physical books. As some of you may know, I’ve sold a total of one book through the old site. Can I double that? We’ll see!

The Clitorides Awards

Tue, 14 Jan 2014 19:02:46 -0500

Hello all.

I’m happy to announce that, after a long absence, the Clitorides Awards are back! What are they? Well, they’re a yearly way to highlight the best internet erotic stories. Some of you, while looking at the pages of older authors, may have seen the better ones boasting of winning. They’ve been dead for awhile, but Lazeez, the owner of Storiesonline.net, has brought them back. Here’s how it works:

1. First, look around the internet and find your favorite authors and stories. Any author which has released an erotic story in 2013 may be nominated for best writer (or best new writer), and any erotic story completed in 2013 may be nominated in a variety of categories. The story must be finished, and available for free online. Sites like SOL, which have a pay membership but let you view their stories for free count, although those only available to pay members wouldn’t be.

2. Go to Clitoridesawards.org. A valid email address is needed, to prevent ballot stuffing. There, nominate any writers and stories you want, in a variety of categories. The ten stories with the most nominations in each category will be offered up as the finalists, from which the winner will be chosen.

An Update on the State of Stories

Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:19:57 -0500

I figured you guys deserved an update.

First, I'm happy the current tale is being received well. Readership is over 7,000 on SOL, which is less than what A Leader Born ended with but very good. No complaints there. You may have noticed, though, I've dropped down to about a chapter a week. The holidays were to blame for the last few, but now I just have to blame mood. What I want to write is worked out in my head, but I just find things to distract me when I sit down to write. I'll get through it, but a chapter a week will probably be the norm for awhile.

I will say, though, writing this particular story is starting to be work. Not as fun. I have no intention of ending it early, having learned from the fiasco that was The Magic of Life (where ending on a cliffhanger, with the intention of coming back, lost me 75% of my readers for the next few stories. Fewer than 500 came back for the sequel). Worse comes to worse, I take a long break between chapters, but I'll try to avoid that. What I may do is work on a second story along side it. Alternate. That has worked in the past, so you may get your two chapters a week but just in different stories. I've been re-reading Where Friendship Leads, which I haven't seen since I wrote it. Damn, I forgot how fun that was. Maybe I'll continue it. Hmm...

And we finally have answers to various questions

Mon, 23 Dec 2013 22:05:07 -0500

Chapter 7 of A Nation Forged is now up, and should finally answer many of the questions left from A Leader Born. Not all, but most.

I want to thank everyone for reading, and hope you have a good generic winter holiday. I want to send out an extra thanks to those of you supporting me on Patreon. It is an incredible help to me, and much appreciated.

Watch Harry Potter for Charity Dec 7th

Fri, 06 Dec 2013 15:31:25 -0500

We interrupt this blog for a non-commercial announcement.

Saturday, Dec 7th, the movie podcast Friends in Your Head is doing a 24 hour charity recording of commentaries for all 8 Harry Potter movies. During this, they will accept donations for the Against Malaria Foundation, which will provide malaria nets for those in Africa who need it. 100% of the donations will go the charity. So, if you have a copy of the films on hand, or the ability to stream them, go to the site and join the fun. They're kicking things off at noon Pacific time, as they're based in Hollywood, which should translate to 3PM Eastern. I'll probably be able to catch the first two films live. Hope to see you there!

Harry Potter Charity Event!

New Chapter, repair bills

Wed, 04 Dec 2013 12:12:47 -0500

Hello. I hope everyone is having a good holiday season, even if the holiday is “stop annoying me with these holidays!” Day. I’ve just posted chapter 3 of A Nation Forged for your enjoyment. Chapter 4 will come soon.

I’ve just been hit with $800 in car repair bills. If any generous readers have extra funds left after their holiday shopping, donations would help. Also, printed books make great gift ideas!

Sequel to ‘A Leader Born’: ‘A Nation Forged'

Sat, 23 Nov 2013 14:30:56 -0500

Well, the start of another new story is upon us. We’ll see how it turns out :) Thanks to the holidays for the next month keeping a schedule might be a bit tricky, so be patient. I’ll try and at least get a chapter a week out, more when possible.

In other news, I actually sold a printed copy of 'A Leader Born' this week. I’m so happy! Feel free to check out the bookstore if you, too, would like to own a piece of quality literature!

Tradition

Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:54:14 -0500

Well, here’s a new story for all of you, Tradition. The idea could have been expanded, but I already have a series about a blue skinned girl :) I hope you enjoy it.

In other news, I’ve added more ebooks to my subscription package. Anyone donating now gets A Leader Born and A Servant of Wisdom in addition to the others, all with new introductions. That leaves just Where Friendship Leads without an ebook. Soon, when I get a moment. I’ve also gotten in my print copies of A Leader Born and The Magic of Bells. I’ve lowered the prices in my bookstore, if anyone would like a copy.

I’m starting to get my head around the sequel to A Leader Born. No idea when the first chapter of that will see the light of day, but in the near future.

A Leader Born finished, blog trimmed

Tue, 29 Oct 2013 18:18:23 -0400

The final chapter of A Leader Born is now posted, or will be in a bit. This isn’t the last of the story, just of this opening part. The characters shall return at some point.

I’ve taken the opportunity of this update to trim the excess blog entries. You guys don’t need all those up here forever :) At some point I’ll also reorganize the FTP area. It has gotten a bit messy.

I’m going to be doing a print run of the thrid and final Bells book. This most likely will consist of three or four copies. If anyone would like physical books, contact me.
