It's new story time! Thank you all for waiting! With Good Intentions 5 out, I haven't started up on the next book yet (almost certainly the next Poor Man's Fight). That left me wondering where to go for this month's story post, so I figured maybe I'd peruse through my files of unfinished ideas... and this one stood out. It's a light smutty fun adventure story, clearly the first chapter in something longer I'd like to write when I have the space for it. It feels more like a serialized slice-of-life-with-adventure-and-magic thing than a standalone book.

This story is modern magic and light sexy fantasy, and it's very much "exploratory writing" rather than a fully-outlined premise. It hits a bunch of familiar beats from Great Power and No Responsibilities and Grand Theft Sorcery. This story could probably fit right into Good Intentions, but I gave it some tweaks to make it a separate world so it would have its own space to breathe and be a little different. All that said, those similarities aren't an accident. With a lot of stories, I find myself making choices and then wondering where things would go if I went left instead of right. With me being me, often that "other path" feels pretty Literotica-ish. :)

I fussed over this title. "Vocational Shift" fits, although I had the snarky thought of, "I Got Thrown Out of College, So I Guess I'll Be a Wizard" ...and then realized that's not too far off from some actual titles out there. Probably not gonna go with that, but we'll see. I'm also not married to the protagonist's name (Tyler), but I wanted to provide our monthly story, so I decided to stick with it for now.

Please let me know what you think! Tanner's next book (and/or maybe Wandering Monsters) is my next priority, but if you want more of this story, I'll be really happy to provide!

OH, ALSO! If anyone here has me "followed" as an author on Amazon, could you let me know if/when you get an Amazon system notification about Good Intentions 5 being released? Those emails usually start up about a week after launch, but I never know when the Big A will change patterns or practices. It's always good to know what my readers are seeing.

Thanks, and I hope you like this!

Having finished the latest book this will be a fun sampler:) For a future story month, any chance we can get some short with the ocean ghost lady from GI 4? She was a fun character

Thank you, as always. Especially today, when the only thing I feel like celebrating is Litterbox Change Day (mission accomplished!). This is a dynamite opening, and about the most natural, unobtrusive, set-up of Ethical Slut Magic imaginable. It does have a great deal of your style, but still feels distinct. Please consider rolling with this one, it seems like you had genuine fun with it.

Got my notifications today.

Sadly, I'm not sure I feel the characters or underlying story assertions were that interesting to me. But the two-way charm spell was an interesting take.

Quite enjoyed this one. agree with P.J., it’s definitely something you should continue. The Sex Diary/grimoire is a nice touch, not only for erotic content, but also to better develop the past owners of the book as characters. One suggestion if ever you publish this in a different place: the in media res was a bit too abrupt imo, for the first couple pages I was wondering if you had accidentally uploaded the second chapter instead of the first.

Don't stop working on the Tanner book but you should definitely keep going with this one, too.

I'm following you on Amazon. I just looked and I can't find an email at all. I bought it on June 24 - don't know if that would make Amazon not send me the email.

I’m following, but docn’t remember a notice e-mail for GI5.

En media res was abrupt. As others have stated, it did feel a little like Chapter 2 with the raging battle. The magic, both the symbiotic charm and the diaries were excellent. Is this gal a little like Taylor with supernatural bounties instead of a Succubus modification?

Okay, you know I adore Lorelei and Alex and Rachel, as well as Tanner, Alicia, and the rest of the Poor Man's Fight gang... but when are we going to hear from Scars, War Cloud, Shady Tooth, Yargol, Teryn, and and Dig Dig again? I could also go for a sequel to Hot Restart... ;)
