Sorry for the wait, gang. I knew when I was churning out three or four chapters a week at the early parts that it would catch up with me. Just way harder to guide a story than to let it flow how it wants. Still, I think it's flowing, going where it needs to (or at least where I want it to), so there's that. This chapter picks up in the aftermath of the dropping of the case and through the final weekend of the academic year. 

Also, as it's October 5th, that means payments have been processed. Those of you who've been around probably know I suck at running this site as a business, but even so, thanks to all you amazing folks, for the first time since I started writing, I am out-earning where I was when I started teaching. I don't do it for the money, but unfortunately all the places I want things from do, so it feels really good to be back at a point where I could potentially be fully independent if need/opportunity arised. (For those who don't know, in cliche fashion, I've lived with my mom to help take care of her since my dad's passing a few years back, so rent's not a thing, but my student loans still are. :P)

Anyway, I am so so excited to be feeling like I'm doing something well, gang. It's a good feeling. Not only the $ thing, but also that my work is currently being so well-received. I attached a screenshot of my author feed in literotica. I don't pay as much attention to my stuff over there as I do on mcstories because they're a lot less author-friendly, but they do keep statistics, and this is the first book I've shared over there where every chapter (so far) has received the coveted "HOT" rating. (Shower scene is currently holding the lead.) Even TIOS and My New Girlfriend didn't go over this well, and those both had a lot of fans. So... yeah. (Screenshot attached, I guess just to gloat?)

What does all this mean for you? Well, it means I may actually force myself to realize that I should start taking myself a bit more seriously (damn you, 40th birthday!) and do more than write and post stories. I've gotten a fair amount of urgings from folks to start a discord, so I'll be looking into that over the next couple weeks and figuring out what that can/should look like. Also on my to-to list is creating an actual web site so if Patreon ever panics that I never officially stated that Tabitha was 18 (she is!) and pulls the plug on me like they have others, I still have a presence somewhere so we don't lose each other.

In the meantime, when I wake up from my very long-delayed sleep (been editing part 24 for 5 hours and it's now going on 6 AM local time), I have 3 commission drawings to do, since neither the August nor September winners have gotten back to me (again). So if you're pledging $10 (what a bargain! (see, told you I suck at self-promotion)), make sure you've got notifications on for messages in case you're a winner!

More to come, folks! Happy Monday.

This is a sample size of 1 thing so take of it what you will, but I feel like you hit the ball out of the park with THAL. I've been following you on an off on mcstories since My New Girlfriend. The first time I read MNG back then I felt like you were a great and original, but maybe you were still experimenting. THAL was a completely different beast, since the first few chapters it felt like this is it, you found your voice, the characters are alive and doing their own things, the scenes are HOT, et cetra. I don't usually subscribe to authors on Patreon due to reasons, not even other great ones like Pan or Scifiscribbler, but man I'm gonna do it for THAL and will try to stay awhile when it's done too. Great job and congrats!

Make that a sample size of at least 2. THAL has struck gold as my all time favorite story as well, and the reason for joining Patreon earlier than planned. I feel like it’s the core premise of the story that makes it good. It’s not Canon that is trying to assemble a harem, it’s the girls around him. It keeps the story fairly grounded, as there’s not much drive for expansion and falling into simple wish fulfillment. It also opens up to plenty of drama, since everyone has their idea of how things are supposed to get done with plenty of opportunities for miscommunication. But as AP said, the scene’s are HOT and could stand on their own.

Grammar: The air of the room rapidly cooled the pussy-dampened she had been occupying. - I get the meaning, but I feel like the word ”spot” or ”patch”. The Post: I would lie if I didn’t say I had hoped for an update during the weekend, but you’re keeping a good pace. If you really feel things are going to be late then there’s always the option to just drop a post. I’m sure that there will be ebb and flow with your productivity, but as long as you keep focusing on the monthly basis, rather than the weekly, I feel that you will be fine. Not to mention that other stories might take the update slot for a brief moment. The discord thing sounds nice, you’re a bit difficult to reach and Patreon isn’t the best for fan discussions. The Story: What a nice way to do a rundown of events, especially given how Louisa handles her rage, which is surprisingly well under control. Although it’s easy to understand why, seeing that she’s no longer seeing the Sterns as victims to Canon’s schemes and how much they have been involved in Louisa’s current state of mind. Excellent transition to the class scene and the discussion about Frankenstein was very well made. It really made me think about what goes on between Justin and the Sterns when the camera isn’t looking. Another great followup scene with Tabitha. I feel like we are getting into danger territory now, as it really feels like she’s starting to manipulate Canon’s train of thought. I know the intentions are to ease Canon’s mind, but it feels like we are just a short jump away from Tabitha coming to the conclusion that she’s better at judging what’s best for Canon. What an interesting situation that would be. It’s also a bit scary just how deeply ingrained the need for approval is now. At some point she’s going to become a passenger in her own body, although I doubt she will be aware or even care about it. Then for the unexpected, Canon entering the lions den! What was expected was the fact that the old folks had gotten a dose of Serenex. Whilst it opens possibilities it doesn’t feels like there’s any interest in them, besides making them ignore the strange guests and noises. Unsurprisingly Abbie isn’t taking the things with the cops too seriously, although that might just be a front. The glimpse into the relationship between Abbie and Taylor was nice. It was nice to see the reach of Abbie’s position as Taylor’s boss. Sure, she could make her do anything, but she would view it as an authority figure forcing her, and we all know how much the Sterns despise authority figures. Also, interesting save by Canon praising Abbie’s efforts, despite being interrupted. Although I doubt Taylor isn’t completely clueless as to what was going on, given the state of Canon’s car. Then back to Canon’s home where we, as readers, get robbed of a scene with some family fun. Although I’m complaining, I understand the reason. With Canon just having been blue balled and Cassie usually being as talkative as my reviews, I understand why Canon zoned out and just gave in to the sensations. Thoughts and theories: The ending seem to elude to Canon giving Tabitha a more central role in the story, one that’s likely going to bring some interesting conflict between her and the Sterns. I also wonder how far “Abbie can always use my Serenex” stretches. Like, what would happen if she texted Canon “bring the Serenex to my house now!” Obviously there’s a strong case for saying: “Just because she’s free to use it that doesn’t mean that Canon has to bring it to her.” It felt like Abbie was testing Canon a bit, although his reaction could be different when they aren’t in the same room. Also, speaking of Serenex. I have a feeling that the party which the Sterns are preparing for isn’t as innocent as it may seem. I don’t know to what extent, but I feel like Canon is in for a surprise. I definitely got the feeling that Abbie has more people dosed than the ones Canon knows about.

Of all the things a high school English teacher has to deal with, from the low pay to the long hours to the I Guess Pandemic Now, truly the most terrifying element is knowing that any book you teach will invariably be reflected in your day-to-day life. My thoughts and prayers for all of those brave souls that are teaching The Jungle.

WDB

I kid! I kid. I think the Canon's Life Is A Metaphor stuff was pretty fun, and, honestly, if you can't have an English teacher named Canon have his troubles reflected back at him through the Western canon... I mean, why the fuck do words even *exist*, then? The main thing I liked about this one was something that's largely hypothetical to the reader, but probably a main stress for a teacher like Canon: how do you decide how much help you can offer a student? Canon's only got so much time and energy, and someone like Taylor needs maybe more of it than she deserves. As much as Canon feels responsible (and more!) for Taylor, there's an argument to be made that Canon could spend the same amount of energy helping five other students, who'd appreciate the help, than someone like Taylor who has squandered a ridiculous amount of chances. It's... I mean, god, how do you answer a question like that? Someone like Tabitha has a ruthless pragmatism that lets her feel just fine cutting Taylor loose, but I don't think someone as intensely driven as Tabitha could ever really get in the mind of someone who actually cares about their students. Tabitha is goal-oriented, and letting a half-dozen students fend for themselves because Taylor refuses to apply herself, that math just doesn't work for her. Is Canon blinded by lust? Is this the Sunk Cost Fallacy, where he can't let all his effort be squandered? Is it just guilt? Does Taylor deserve another chance? It's tough, here, because I can *see* how Taylor isn't Abbie, despite The Sterns existing as a two-headed monster at this point in the story. The scene with Abbie is maybe more illuminative of Taylor than Abbie, as the darker aspects of the Sterns seem to emanate from Abbie, while Taylor's cruelty and anger seems to exist for precise, if unarticulated reasons. There's something Taylor *just can't say* that would make her someone worth saving, worth trying to help. There's a version of her that could be so much more, but she keeps getting in her own way. But, shit, I'm a Taylor fan, so *of course* I'm going to think she deserves Canon's (potentially misplaced) kindness. (I mean, I'm assuming he'll eventually get over after his car vandalized? Maybe?) I do like that the story is interrogating just how much a teacher can do for a student like Taylor, and how difficult that decision can be to make. Also, congrats on the continued success of THAL! This was a chapter that had hot scenes with a variety of women (Isa!) and all I want to talk about is the weight of Canon's empathy. Weird for erotica, but great for me as a reader. Thanks!

WDB

Sure, we maybe had to wait a couple more days, but at least we got a chapter of THAL on the thematically-appropriate World Teacher's Day! The Abbie/Canon scene, oof, so good. I really love the time Canon spends with Abbie, because she's so unapologetically awful. Like, Taylor's mean in a complicated way, but Abbie is uncomplicated in her nearly *animalistic* hunger, and how blase she can be about destroying the people who could get in the way of her feeding. She's great! Plus, funny as shit. I think the "she's not always the best employee" line nearly wrecked me. Abbie! So fun to read about!

Will Orlando

I agree with your thoughts on Tabitha. Seems like shes manipulating Cannon into going with whatever she wants. Maybe that could be a potential conflict later on.

Will Orlando

As a fellow Taylor fan, I'm hoping that she somehow tells Cannon how she feels towards him and that can somehow change her into being #1 girl (one can hope, right?) Although with school ending, I don't see how Taylor makes up for end of the semester unless Cannon grades all her make up work and she passes. I think Taylor was the one who cut his tires when she realized Abbie had someone in her room. Her way of showing Cannon that she was jealous haha

WDB

I mean, the end of the story *has* to be Canon and Taylor having an honest talk, right? I literally can't think of anything else that has the required drama to feel like an end to this story. (I guess I should specify that by End , I mean the end of the plot. I assume the literal end of the story will be loads and loads of fucking. You got to give the people what they want!) And, yeah, safe to say Taylor figured out that Canon was fucking Abbie, so she fucked up his car. Not a huge leap in logic for her to hear Abbie fucking someone, get shooed away, and then see Canon's car outside. Canon is... look, he's getting better at not immediately thinking with his dick, but it's a *very* long process.

I haven't been on for a while due to real life (with the pandemic) but I have to say THAL is growing on me: Curious to what will happen to the sterns, Browns are there for the fan-service, the implications of the changes in Isa/Candy, and Tabitha being, tabitha. It started off slow for me because drone-like MC is a bit boring for me, but the personalities integrating themselves into what is happening is just the pace i needed the past ~10+ or so chapters. But really I'm commenting to say that I'm still here and subbed, and I'm wishing Ice Bear and the others I usually commented with here (Shoutouts to WDB for the compilation in the community tab) the best. Hope everyone's well out there. Thanks for giving us something fun to look forward to during these times <3

[we got a chapter of THAL on the thematically-appropriate World Teacher's Day!] Ha! Sounds like it was planned :P Also after rereading my original post I just want to clarify that I don’t expect weekly updates. Sometimes a story just need to cook a little longer in order for things to get planned out. [Abbie is uncomplicated in her nearly *animalistic* hunger, and how blase she can be about destroying the people who could get in the way of her feeding. She's great!] Yeah, Abbie is the cruel engine of chaos for this story. I worry about what kind of horror story this could have been, if Abbie wasn’t driven my Canon’s sexual fantasies, or at least what she believes them to be. I kinda want to read that. [Plus, funny as shit. I think the "she's not always the best employee" line nearly wrecked me. Abbie! So fun to read about!] Yeah, I absolutely love her humor and the way she mixes metaphors.

ukyo_rulz

I dunno if I've mentioned this before but I do believe you really succeeded in creating a "plausibly dumb" character in Canon. He makes mistakes and errors in judgement, but in a way that flows smoothly and doesn't make the reader facepalm. Initially I thought you accomplished this almost accidentally by setting things up so events happen at a really fast pace, but I’m starting to think you’ve actually gotten the knack of it at this point.

esclavage

To chime in, I think this chapter helps highlight the disconnect between Canon and Taylor beautifully. Using the story of Frankenstein as a parallel, Taylor (Canon's monster) is behaving in the manner she has because of her lack of "socialization." In BDSM terms, she's a "brat" and is expecting Canon to be the "brat tamer". So she deliberately seeks to disobey him and frustrate him - with the implicit understanding that when she does this, the end result will be sizzling hate-sex. But Taylor is a bit simplistic in this regard so she thinks bigger blow-ups with Canon will equal better hate-sex. That's the point of egging Canon's house -> piss Canon off = better hate-sex Only this time, Canon calls the cops on her (largely as payback for what happened with Justin. And again, Taylor did that because again she was trying to piss him off for better hate-sex). But Canon calling the cops and getting her arrested is a huge break from the norm (so she is likely feeling confused/conflicted - similar to how Canon felt about the whole Justin thing). In essence, they've both crossed lines with one another in their unspoken game now. Taylor's antics will only escalate imo (tire slashing & keying). It is a warning to the thought Canon can still get his sexual satisfaction with the rest of his current harem while ignoring Taylor. In fact, Canon musing at the end of using Tabitha to "replace" Taylor in a kind of controlled wildness is exactly the wrong way to tackle this kind of issue.

R Masters

Congrats, you're doing great because you combined talent and hard work. Thanks for the great stories.

InCompleteController

I completely agree with the analysis. I can’t remember if it was Abbie or Taylor that pointed out that they are used to getting a lot of passes thanks to their looks, which just add to their lack of “socialization”. But like with all relationships, the two of them need to talk things out. Taylor is in a rather rough spot since, as you put it, Tabitha is more than eager to take her spot as the favorite and Canon doesn’t exactly lack company. Then there’s Abbie herself whom has the goal of being Canon’s fantasy slut, so Taylor doesn’t really have an escape from Canon’s influence. It’s a rather ironic situation, given how good the Sterns usually are at reading Canon.

HardhatDoozer

Well I have to say that I’m a little alarmed that Tabitha make it seem like she’s the only long term choice when us Taylor fans know that when it comes to hot sex only the goddess will do. You can’t fake intensity. And though obedient is sexy, the brat wins every time for me.

HardhatDoozer

Oh and I’m with Abby. She’s so much fun but how come she always seems to get the short end of the stick. She deserves more “screen time”, Mr Cannon. Please see to it.

InCompleteController

Huh, once again a post seem to have been marked as spam. I would have thought that paying for access would have reduced the need for spam filters. [Canon is... look, he's getting better at not immediately thinking with his dick, but it's a *very* long process.] It was a lose/lose situation for Canon. Abbie has been sex starved for days and I fear for what would have happened if Canon had visited her with a clear head and empty balls. So despite how bad the situations sounds, it might actually have been the best option. I know, I know, Canon is such a self sacrificing man, being willing to have sex with a hot, barely legal student and all that.

ukyo_rulz

I also like Abbie more than any of the other girls. Her personality is more interesting and she creates more fun situations than the rest.

WDB

A teacher's never off the clock!

WDB

Thanks for chiming in! Hope things get a little more manageable for you soon. Also, Cassie may be fan-service, but it's necessary because she's got FANS. This year has been an unceasing nightmare, but that girl getting her butt sex is the Mood we all want to see in 2021. God bless that adorably filthy chatterbox.

WDB

Curious to hear why Canon's errors and mistakes work better for you than other characters in other stories. (Please, no drive-bys at Conner from TIOS, I can't bear to see that sweet boy so perennially abused.) Is it something where the narrative is less sympathetic to it? Or just that he's more aware of his fuck-ups?

WDB

Tabitha may think she has the inside track, but it's only because Taylor hasn't really wanted to win yet. When she does, though! I hope people keep reading THAL after Taylor erases Tabitha from existence.

R Masters

Wow, is Tabitha becoming a villain, unjustly wedging Taylor and Abbie out of the harem? Love it.

Irregular Apocalypse

I really don't get the love for Taylor here -or the Stern sisters in general- outside of "they are insanely hot and we'd all love to fuck them". I guess it comes down to personal preference/personality but for FWIW, I'd stick (no pun intended) to Tabitha. Maybe it also comes down to knowing real people just like them and once you get past that initial thrill the best strategy is to put some distance and see the fireworks from afar. The farther away the better.

InCompleteController

There’s no doubt that if you want the “happily ever after” ending to the story, Tabitha is the best pick. She’s putting Canon’s approval above all else, which means that she’s naturally trying to be compatible with him, although it seems like she’s starting to dip into manipulation. As esclavage posted, Taylor is a brat. The troubles Canon is having with her is due to not understanding that aspect. Then there’s the fact that Canon is in love with her, and that her mentality isn’t really affected by Serenex. So I like her since she’s hard to get, which is ideal for a harem story. As for Abbie, I like her humor a lot and all the mixed metaphors. She’s pure chaos, which is something stories like these desperately need in order to prevent them from going down the road of simple wish fulfillment. So in short, I like them since they made the story unpredictable, but outside of the story I completely agree with you.

Ferrum1

I couldn't agree more. What gets me is that they seem to be in direct contradiction to their Serenex commands. What about them is a "fantasy slut"? No man fantasizes about that kind of behavior, even if he is getting a piece of the action. If they honestly believe that they should be there for Canon, a collection of holes for his enjoyment, then they should have been doing things to make sure they could remain in his good graces. They've done exactly the opposite and it always kills my suspension of disbelief.

ukyo_rulz

Hello sorry for the late response. I've been busy for the past couple of days. I will attempt to answer this question without getting into the weeds with specific examples. Instead, I will focus on two main concepts. ------------------ First, to me writing a character is a bit like building a house of cards. It's a lot easier in the beginning because the cards are resting on a flat, blank surface. Each new section only needs to stand on its own. As you continue to build the structure, though, things start to get trickier. Decisions made in the outset serve as the foundation upon which new sections are added, and structures that would be stable when taken in isolation might not be compatible with the foundation that was laid out before it. Of course, the structure doesn't need to be 100% completely stable. You can get away with a few relatively flimsy parts (as long as the problem is not too egregious), but these serve as weak points in the structure. It gets harder to build on top of them and as the weaknesses multiply, they begin to threaten the integrity of the entire structure. It's also important to note that not all connections are created equal. Each story will have core foundational elements that simply cannot be contradicted, because to do so would irreparably break the narrative. It's one thing to have the hero say he hates Chinese food in an off-hand comment, then order Chinese 15 chapters later. It's another thing when the optimistic jedi who found traces good in his mortal enemy who had fallen to the dark side decades before, suddenly tries to kill his own nephew because of a scary dream. So does this mean that you can never contradict previously established canon facts? Not at all. It can be done, but it has to be done right. Like I said, you're building on what came before. If you want to change direction you need to buttress that change with a solid path going from the previous status quo to the new normal. You need to show how the story got from point A to point B. When you fail to do so, the structure cannot carry its own weight and it falls over. ------------------ The second thing I want to note is that there is a difference between a bad decision and a stupid mistake. The first one happens when you fail to properly weigh the pros and cons of different strategies, both of which may lead to a good outcome if they go well. The second is simply shooting yourself in the foot. Spending a large percentage of your discretionary income on lottery tickets is a bad decision. Sending nudes to your new boyfriend of 1.5 weeks is a bad decision. Adding too many women to your mind-controlled harem, to the point where you can hardly keep track of them and the authorities begin to notice your activities is a bad decision. By contrast, not keeping backups of important data that your life or livelihood depends upon is a stupid mistake. Keeping large amounts of cash on your person when you don't need to is a stupid mistake. Getting 50% of your dragons killed because you came in hot with no plan and forgot that your sworn enemy has a fleet of ships working for her is a stupid mistake. Now it's certainly true that people make stupid mistakes, but they make waaaaaaaaaay more bad decisions. It is often important in a story for a character to get themselves into trouble for the plot to move forward, but it's important to consider whether the mechanism chosen to accomplish this is more of a bad decision, or a stupid mistake. Having a character make a stupid mistake is not necessarily a death knell for a story, but it certainly puts the story at risk.
