Back again!

First: Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who picked up a copy of NO MAN'S LAND, and especially to those of you who wrote reviews or recommended it anywhere. That sort of stuff is huge. I'll drop some notes about next projects in my sneak peek post. Now, onto the monthly story!

We're returning to Professional Vacation, with a handy link to the first part here: Story Post: Professional Vacation | Patreon. This is a pretty hefty story length for my usual Patreon stories, so don't go thinking this is a new standard. :) But I feel like giving this part in full is the right call, both for enjoyment and the sense of direction it offers.

There's some adventure going on here, but Pro Vacation is much more "slice of life" than action, and heavy on the sexytimes. The stakes are meant to be low compared to my other work. Our protagonists aren't out to save the world; they're out to have a good time. With everything going on these days, I feel like a little break of fun escapism is worthwhile.

(As an aside, my wife scolded me for using Times New Roman recently... I'm getting wild and switching to Garamond on the pdf as an experiment. Let me know if you have font feelings!)

Enjoy!

Looking forward to this! Any news on an audiobook version of No Man's Land?

Listen to your wife about fonts! (Though be picky about Garamond; there is a lot of different ones out there, and many of the more common ones bear little resemblance to the original. At least on my computer the Garamond in the PDF looks rather dissimilar in some respects from Claude Garamond's original fonts. But I'll try to avoid subjecting you to the vagaries of XKCD 1015.) More comments on the story itself later on when I've actually read it.

Me, seeing a character whose name is also Jake: Oh boy, I hope he's cool! Me, a minute later: ...Oh Also the Garamond works!

My font feeling is that comic sans deserves more respect. I used to use it for signs at the library even though my coworker called me crazy.

I wouldn't use comic sans for much of any long-form document, but I agree that it deserves more respect. Or at least, less disrespect. :)

It feels like whenever I try to think about this, I need a whole literary theory of porn and smut. (Concepts/factors to include are trangressions/taboos in just the right way; reader inserts; physical/emotional descriptions; plot relevance; repeatability; scenes in reader's head versus on the page; humour; et c…)
