I have posted the story 'Gravel City' here. It's listed with my contest stories. It's more humor than heat, but it was a fun story to write.

I've decided to take a break from the MC Forum contests for a month or two. I'm presently working on a new city that's a little different from Chrystal Heights or even Darkview. This is a city of men and power where people can and are collared and owned. Think Gor. It's coming along slowly, but it's coming.

I'm working on it even as we speak. I've got some time before Hurricane/TS Eta hits us again. Or skirts us again, actually, since I'm in South Florida and it's hitting the NW part of the state. Getting kinda tired of that silly storm having no clue where it wants to go next. 

​I don’t know how many of you frequent the MC Garden and/or the MC Forum, but I’m sorry to report that we lost a giant today.
 
Merry Brooks / robotunit8 / Harlean / Steph passed away this weekend.
 
Steph was an absolute stalwart of the MC community. She was a rock, a mother figure, a sane voice no matter how crazy things got. Nearly every single writer who’s ever posted a story to the EMCSA owes her a huge debt for her countless reviews, myself included. Her write-ups were fun, they were funny, and they were as dependable as the day is long. Even when she could justify taking an update off, she just wouldn’t.
 
She was a talented writer herself, with nearly a hundred stories on the EMCSA. Fun stuff, too. Her stories just made you smile, because they were just flat-out entertaining. Nobody ever got hurt and you just knew she had a good time creating the tale.
 
Steph is one of the finest people I’ve met since I joined this community. I considered her a friend and I like to think she thought of me in the same way. When I say I will miss her, I’m not speaking in platitudes. I will truly miss her presence on the forums, her humor, her easygoing nature, her emails, her blog. This loss runs deep.
 
The MC Garden and MC Forum lost a giant today.

Note- Steph maintained a very entertaining blog for the last 10 years. For anyone interested in taking a look at it, it can found here:

​(Note- the above link takes you directly to a silly post she made about Chrystal Heights, but she wrote about far more than that.)

Just a quick update- my story 'Radio Feedback' has been added to my contest entries section. 'Radio Feedback' was an entry in KhakiAchilles's 'The Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes' contest, part of the overall 'Khaki Challenge'.

I've done a few T/G stories over the years for the MC Forum contests, along with an occasional Tumblr/Bdsmlr post. I'm adding those now as well. It's slow-going at the moment, as I have to re-format each story, but the first one is up now. "Raiders of the Misplaced Ark" was a winning contest entry in KhakiAchilles' 'Desert of the Real II' contest. I never posted it on the EMCSA due to the T/G content, but my website has no rules against T/G content, because I make the @#$%$#@ rules here, dammit. So for the T/G fans out there, here ya go.

I do recognize that my website is well out-of-date. I'm going to be trying to fix that now.

It will be a pretty slow process, as I am trying to write a fair number of stories right now, as well as address some RL issues (nothing serious, but definitely requiring my attention), but I really want this site to be a place you can check for fun, fresh content, whether from me or from other creators.

For starters, I have added a new menu item under 'Chrystal Wynd / Dark Wynd'. It reads 'MC Forum contest stories'. Every month, the MC Forum has a contest hosted by one of the members (including me). I am pretty active there and will usually enter at least one story every month. Those stories don't always make it to the EMCSA, though, and I've gotten quite a backlog. The ones I don't post on the EMCSA will be posted here now. I posted 'Black as Night' earlier today- that was one of my entries to badpenny's December 2019 contest (it was the winner. :) ). I will be posting others as well.

​Thank you again for reading. You guys rock!

I've been entering a lot of contests on the MC Forum and posting stories on the EMCSA, but I've been neglecting my website lately, so I'm planning on changing that soon. Will hopefully update it as well, as a lot of links are no longer active. Keep an eye on this space.

​Everybody stay safe out there.
