Howdy everyone! A new story for you today that I'll be posting elsewhere later, but you wonderful people are first to the show. The title stems not at all from my own sentiments, but rather those of our protagonist, a mind controller overwhelmed with ennui who gives himself a challenge to spice things up. Remember, my early releases are first draft quality, so don't be surprised if there's some trouble spots. 

If you missed it [because Patreon makes such things easy to miss], be sure to check out all the discussions going on elsewhere on my page, particularly WDB's incredibly thorough and insightful breakdown of his thoughts on Our Time Was Now and TIOS as a whole, as well as a thread on your favorites of my body of work. I'm curious what people think! I do tend to write whatever I'm moved to write, but knowing what people like has a definite effect on guiding what moves me.

Have a great week everybody! Next up from me will be getting to the July free commission drawing, quite probably followed by the August. More to come!

Ice Bear: Aw, shucks, thanks! I'm mostly just doing all this to qualify for the "Brand Ambassador" achievement that I assume Patreon gives out, but I'm a fan of your writing, too! I don't know if I've mentioned that before. (On the topic of "things I probably should've mentioned a while ago": This is your page. I'm just a guest here. No one's coming here for me, they're coming here because of you. If at any time you feel like my comments are starting to distract or detract from what you're doing, *please* let me know and I'll gladly shut them down. I don't ever want to cause you any headaches.) Fellow Icicles: Hey, so, yeah! There's this Community tab where we can have non-story-specific discussions about all sorts of Ice Bear-related topics. Let's get some stuff going while we wait for the next story drop! Favorite ladies? Best protagonists? Funniest lines? Best character named DJ because I guess there's more than one somehow? Is Hailey a secret genius for using "pork sword" as a euphemism? Drop in on the Community tab and let's chatter!

What a great, fun story. The split perspective was a neat choice, Nikki's a terrific character, and it's all pretty goddamn hot. Excellent work! I really, really loved how structured it is as a story, how what could be a simple "mind-controller wants to fuck hot woman" short becomes this really tense narrative thanks to hard work and a warped dedication. (I sort-of feel like "standard MC trope, but so complicated that it becomes new again" is an Ice Bear hallmark.) Sure, Grant may be a little (okay a LOT) selfish and dismissive of others, but as Emma Stone put it in Maniac, "I'm not 'fucking crazy', I'm just goal-oriented."

This was mostly a pretty good story but the way the POV kept jumping between first and third person kept throwing me off. I felt that the transitions could have been smoothed out for a better reading experience.

I swear your stories just keep getting better and better. I agree with WDB, you take something standard and twist it around just enough to create a captivating story that is also absurdly hot. Thank you very much!

I used to read something with this similar style of POV switching so it didn't bother me. I also love the added touch of how coach suddenly started to have a dirty mouth by the end. The slight resistance and justification adds a lot more depth and curiosity to what's happening to a character compared to just a droning person reduced to saying "I am your master/slave" Keep up the great work!
