Progress on Passion and Lust and the other thing I plan on posting with it. They're both effectively finished, as in there's nothing more for me to write, but I still need to edit them, which is going to take at least a day, probably more. Not a full week, though.

I plan on posting Passion and Lust on Literotica just like with all the other chapters, which means there's going to be about a 4-7 day delay (that's about how long submissions take to be reviewed and approved there from my past experience). If you are absolutely desperate to read it, I can post an unlisted version on pastebin. Once the full thing is on Literotica, I suppose I'll post the whole thing as 1 post on pastebin.

Once I'm done with it all, I'll make another post here with all the links. I usually do a post-mortem for all my stories of decent length, but there's not much to say about P&L. I found something hot, I thought up a feasible situation to put it in, then wrote it.

Plans for the coming weeks:
-I took a look at Monkue Nabe (aka Beyond the End 8) to figure out how difficult the translation would be. The translation by itself will be simple enough, I've yet to encounter anything too complex, so the real question is typesetting. Monkue Nabe looks like it'll be pretty simple to typeset, as the speech bubbles aren't extremely vertical and there isn't too much writing over background. However, there is still a LOT of text to go through! It's 80 pages long, and while about 20 of those have minimal or no text, that still makes it the longest thing I've ever translated. I'm going to give it a shot, but it will likely take 2 weeks minimum. Longer if the translation or typesetting run into unexpected difficulty. For comparison, 'Delicious Lakeside Town' was 28 pages and took me over 3 weeks, but the typesetting was a complete nightmare in comparison. I also want to mention that if the raws for slapstickstrike's most recent doujin pop up, I might put this on hold to translate and typeset that. It's much shorter and just as easy to typeset, so that wouldn't that more than 3-5 days.
-After that, I'll be shift back to writing. That means the continuation of It's Not the Fall and gradual progress on the dragongirl short you can see in the sidebar.

I also want to start posting my daily word counts here. It's intended both to show how much I've written and to keep myself from slacking off. Of course, it's not going to mean much while I'm working on translations as opposed to stories, but I need to be consistent for it to help me.

Progress on Passion & Lust.

Seems I'm terrible at predicting the actual length of my chapters. This isn't the first time it's happened. I wrote about as much this week as I did last week, there's just more to write than I thought there would be.

Also, anonymous comments have been enabled, if you want to say something but don't want to make an account.

Progress on Passion and Lust, but not as much as I wanted. However, I have been quite busy with writing this week on the other thing. If I get as much done this upcoming week as I have this week, P&L will definitely be finished. The next chapter is the final chapter.

Also will probably try and translate typeset something the week after, meaning other writing projects are going to be pushed back further.

Progress on Passion and Lust. Really want to get this done before going back to anything else.

I might have a little something extra to go along with the final chapter's release when it's finished.
