Happy New Years! News and Ro-Sham-Bimbo 3

Happy New Years, everyone!! I'm back and with good news: Ro-Sham-Bimbo 3 is finally finished!!!

Amazon: Published

Barnes and Nobles: Published

Smashwords: Published

But news first. I know I've been gone a long time, over a year since my last post even! I did not intend to go so long without an update. This past year has been very hectic unfortunately and most of my plans have had to be put on hold.

There's been some bad health issues in my family that have taken up my time, and even my own health hasn't been the best. One of my chronic problems finally got out of control just last week and I had emergency surgery the day before Christmas, which I am still recovering from.

Don't worry to much however, I'm doing very well now and my sick family member has recovered nicely as well, so I can't complain too much about this last year.

However, that is largely why I haven't made much progress on my writing or posting new captions here for so long. I'm very hopeful that is finally over with and I will absolutely be posting more in the coming year again, I promise you all.

A huge thank you to everyone who has sent me emails this past many months worrying about me, I hope I've responded to you all but if I missed someone, comment here and I'll try to find your email to get back with you.

One the plus side, being stuck at home all week in bed finally bought me the spare time to finish Ro-Sham-Bimbo 3!!

It's easily the longest story I've written yet, at well over 30,000 words long, or about 75 pages in a Word document. More a novella than a short-story, at that length. I do hope everyone enjoys it, I tried to work in a little bit of everything into it.

I will be updating this post with links to the ebook as it goes live on Amazon and the other sites. I just wanted to get this post out before the New Year.

Let me know what you think, and if you just want to chat. I've been gone far too long and I'm excited to finally be back and posting again! I have a lot of ideas that have been percolating and some AI-generated art that might be fun too.

Also, some people have mentioned not being able to join my Subscribestar page. There appears to be some paperwork issue there, but I think I have it fixed. It might take a few days to go through their system, however. Hopefully they'll have it open again after the Holiday period.

A belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all! Sincerely,

New Ebook

Greetings, all. As promised, my new ebook has been published, titled "As You Wish". [I considered going with "InDjinnUity" but it didn't look right on the cover.]

It hasn't gone live on Amazon or Barnes&Noble just yet, probably by Sunday it'll be available there, but it is already live at Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/928789

The story ended up a bit longer once I finished my last edit, and I also added a second short story about a woman dealing with a body-altering curse, which brings the entire ebook to a little over 10,000 words long. So you get two stories for the price of one, and at a fair length altogether.

Incidentally, the second story is heavily inspired by a certain Chrystal Wynd story, that was itself heavily inspired by a certain Stephen King book.

I hope you all enjoy these two new ebook stories, and please let me know what you think of them if you purchase this new book.

P.S. Thanks for the feedback on the last post. If you all are really in the mood for some meaner captions, I might be able to oblige. I've actually had a lot of darker caption ideas that I haven't done much with, for various reasons. I'll see if I can finish a few in the next couple of days.

Pussy Dialogues and Ebook News

Hello everyone! This is probably the weirdest caption I've posted in a while, and I haven't really ever done much in the whole "turned into a body part" fetish before, aside from a certain superheroine caption set. So, fair warning, this one might not be to your particular interest.

Aside from today's captions, I also really wanted to ask for your thoughts on my next ebook. A while back I posted some captions called "As You Wish", which served as the opening portion of a story I'm writing about genies and bad wishes.

The issue I'm having is that I've finished the story finally, but as I read back through things (looking for spelling errors and editing as I go), I actually feel like the more natural stopping point is several scenes earlier than my ending.

And now I can't decide whether to keep the longer version, which is about 9-10,000 words long, or to end the story earlier and publish it as shorter ebook, a little over 6,000 words long. Which might be a bit short for $2.99, but due to Amazon's payment system, I really can't sell it for less without losing most of the royalties.

Any feedback, suggestions, or just your thoughts on the matter would be hugely appreciated. I still need to format the story and make a cover, so it'll be at least a few days before I can publish anyway.

Thanks in advance,

- B-Rex

As You Wish....

Apologies to everyone for my sudden disappearance, I'm in the midst of two big weddings in my immediate family and spent all last month helping get things ready. The second wedding is coming up this weekend, thankfully, so that should be the end of all the showers and all that.

I have been making new captions in the meantime, however, and will be posting more this week. And working on a few new ebooks, which I want to talk more about in a bit.

But first, today's captions. I started writing a new ebook a few months ago about a genie and bad wishing. These captions are just the first opening chapter and a few pictures that inspired me. The full story is over 6,000 words long so far, so this is just a teaser of sorts.

The rest of the story moves involves wish twisting, breast enlargement, and all those other sorts of things I enjoy writing about. I'm hoping to finish it soon.

Also on the topic of ebooks, I was recently emailing writer Holly Sharp (http://www.tgstorytime.com/viewuser.php?uid=2981), whose stories were a major inspiration for my old The Black Widow Club transgender captions, by the way.

Our conversation inspired me to compile some of my favorite captions together in a new ebook, along with some unpublished texts that I never found a suitable picture for. Right now this is about 12,000 words long, but might end up longer or shorter once I finish editing it.

I'm a bit worried people would be annoyed if my next ebook turns out to just be a collection of mostly previously-posted captions, so I wanted to let you all know and get some feedback from you. I've read books that are just collections of vignettes (which are exactly what my captions are, tiny scenes or one act stories), but I've never tried publishing anything like flash fiction before.

So please, let me know what you think of the idea, if you hate it or not. I'm so out of practice with formatting for Amazon/Smashwords, that I sort of need to publish something just to remind myself how to publish ebooks again.

Stocking Stuffers 4: Christmas Pie

Happy Humpday! My annoying internet connection issues seem to have sorted themselves out, and now I'm back, at long last!

Today's stocking stuffer is a prize caption for Dr. Psycho, for his submission to my Thanksgiving contest. It's a followup to an old series, that many people seem to have enjoyed. I especially hope you enjoy this new installment, Doc. I tried to heap on the feminist-nightmare-fuel, one humiliating detail after another.

And on the subject of feminist nightmare scenarios, I've finally published a new ebook! :-D It should be up on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo sometime today or tomorrow, but is already up for sale on Smashwords.

It is called 'Bubble Gum Bimbo', which I think I mentioned starting to write nearly a year ago. It's a mind control tale, heavily inspired by Downing Street's wonderful tales. I posted an excerpt a year or so ago, but ended up massively rewriting the whole story. Now it is more of a prequel to the excerpt scene, with a fair bit left to come should I write a followup in the future. But as it is, I think it stands alone quite well. And I hope you all enjoy it too. :-)

(And yes, I'm still working on Plastic Surgeon's Revenge 3. I'm rethinking part of the ending, so might have to rewrite a few scenes. But I'm hopeful that I'll have it up for sale soon too.)

A Quick Ebook Update

I'm hard at work on a new caption (honest!), but I wanted to mention that I have resubmitted my ebook, The Doll, to Amazon a few minutes ago. Now it is entitled The Living Doll, and has a different cover.

As much as I love the old boob-oriented cover, I think it got the story flagged by Amazon's sales-killing adult filter. I've noticed that, despite being brand new this month, it wasn't showing up in my searches on Amazon. The adult filter hides stories from the main search; to see the filtered stories, you have to actively select the Kindle Store in the search bar. Which most people don't seem to know, yet.

I have also successfully gotten Angela's Last Resort 1 back on Amazon. I still need to get Angela's Last Resort 2 back up, but for right now I'm going to focus on making a few new captions for you all. Thanks again for being patient while I deal with all this. :-)

Update on Amazon Ebook Censorship

(UPDATE: Yay, it went through! Angela's Last Resort 1 is up again on Amazon! Now just to get ALR2 up and running. 

I'm also thinking of resubmitting The Doll, but with a new cover and title. Amazon seems to be blocking it behind its Adult filter suddenly, which has totally ruined my experiment with higher prices. How very annoying!

Sorry for all the boring Amazon-related crap, everybody. I promise to get some new captions up tomorrow, so just bear with me for a bit longer. :-) )

As mentioned in my last post, Amazon has blocked two of my ebooks, Angela's Last Resort and Angela's Last Resort 2, with no explanation as to why. I want to give a huge, HUGE thank you to all of you for sending me your sympathies and being patient as I deal with this whole mess.

I've spent most of the past thirty hours altering synopsis and tags, and even removing the occasional nipple, from all of my other ebooks still published on Amazon. It has been a lot of work. Hopefully I have finally removed whatever is causing them to arbitrarily censor my books, before they get around to messing with the rest. Fingers crossed, folks.

The most altered book is my Pledge Week Revenge: Sissy Makeover story, from last June. I have made a totally new cover, and changed the title to Panty Raiders' Punishment, which seems like a better title all around to me anyway. The book has never sold particularly well, though I have always been rather fond of it myself. I was worried that the original cover, which shows a girl's bottom with a tight red thong, would raise some more flags. The new cover shows only three shocked girls' faces, so shouldn't bother anyone. I hope.

The content of Panty Raiders and all my other stories has not been altered, beyond some basic spelling error removal, and such. Everything I have read on the Kindleboards forums has largely pointed to title and synopsis and tags as the usual source of censorship issues, as opposed to the actual story content.

But most importantly, late last night I sent Amazon an email asking to have them set to draft status, so that I could possibly edit them to remove whatever is catching the censor's eye, and they sent me another form letter in response. Which is totally useless, as usual.

However, it did mention that I could resubmit my blocked ebooks, but only with the content altered to fit their non-existent guidelines, etc. I suspect just removing a single word from each synopsis - forced - would actually be enough to satisfy them, but I also spent a good two hours rewriting parts of the first third of Angela's Last Resort. Most of my changes are very small, just a few words here or there, but some parts have new paragraphs, and whole sentences excised.

The basic story remains the exact same, but I have toned down the opening abduction scene a bit, and added in lots of humiliating, but consensual orgasms for Angela. God knows she needed them. :-)

I also added in a line wherein Angela, realizing her treatment is awakening her own long secret sexual fantasies, vows to at least act like she's not totally happy with her treatment at the hands of the Slave Island Resort staff. So really, now the whole story is consensual, even when she pretends it isn't. Oddly enough, none of this really alters the dynamic of the story itself. I kind of wish I had just written it that way from the beginning.

Anyway, I have also changed the title to Angela's Last Resort 1 (real clever, I know) and have now submitted the altered story back to Amazon. I'll wait and see if it passes muster and gets accepted. If it does, I will work on remaking Angela's Last Resort 2, as well.

So if all goes well, in a few days both of my books will be back for sale on Amazon, and if I'm really lucky, all my changes to the rest of my catalog will prevent anymore of these scary and annoying Amazon Censorship crises.

And then I might finally be able to get back to captioning and finishing my next ebook, which just so happens to be a sort-of origin story for the Midnight Surgeon. :-)

P.S. Oh yeah, and I might have finally found an ebook commerce site that won't censor my stories, ever again. Details coming soon. 

Another Amazon Censorship Crisis

Ugh. I've been super busy the past few days with Real-Life issues; first I had a minor surgery a few days ago, then I spent all day Friday driving across my home state, and now when I finally get home, I find out that Amazon has blocked two more of my ebooks.

All the times before they only suspended my ebooks, which meant I could still edit them, and maybe fix whatever it was that was ticking off their censors. But now they've outright blocked Angela's Last Resort 1 & 2, pretty much ruining my series, at least on their site. And since they are now blocked entirely, I can't edit them and fix the issue.

I'm not really sure what to do at the moment; if I resubmit them, with a different synopsis they might accept them, or they might get annoyed and block my whole account. Impossible to know. Both have been up on the site for months now, and suddenly they aren't good enough for Amazon. (Not that Amazon is offering to return the +30% they took from each sale, of course.)

Until I figure out what to do, I can't really mentally focus on captions or writing. Sorry. I'll try to keep this hiatus short. Hopefully I'll figure something out. For now though, if you want to purchase these blocked ebooks, they are still available at the following links:

Smashwords

Kobo

Angela's Last Resort 2

For now though, I'm going to bed; I'm too tired to think about all this right now. See you all later, hopefully soon.
