I have way too many irons in the fire as-is, but I wonder how much of a pain it would be to implement a significant enough fraction of the mastodon protocol so that my site effectively posts its own stories and lets people like and boost them.

This is a story of someone who summoned a succubus and got in over her head. She is extremely full of herself. Are you ready for the most obnoxiously unsexy description of raunchy demonic lust?

You know the thing where your sister is the Chosen One, has a Sacred Destiny and all that crap, runs off to slay Evil, and the next time you see her she hardly bothers to catch you up, just goes "hey, I'm marrying this suspiciously sinister girl, btw." We've all been there, right?

I wrote this thing in the span of about 12 hours. It was probably demon possession or something, I don't know. Anyway, every protagonist I write is my new favorite one, and she's no exception.

I'm a switch, but in the way that I imagine myself as any of:

• the dark and hungry goddess
• the devoted high priestess
• the still-naïve initiate forced to smother the remnants of her own empathy and plunge a dagger into the pretty girl on the altar
• the crying ritual sacrifice atop said altar

Yesterday I posted the final chapter of The New Goddess, so if you're the type of creature that likes to wait for a fic to be complete, here you go!

The whole thing clocks in at 12 chapters and ~36k words and is about probably my most fucked up and evil polycule yet. It features sex, romance, kink done very wrong, and a little bit of recreational murder and cannibalism.

The rain falls hot on my skin, landing with a sizzling hiss whenever it manages to dodge the brim of my hat and find a patch left exposed by my dress. The burns heal immediately, the spell an automatic reflex I don’t consciously register anymore.

Two hiveminds in love, fascinated by the differences between them. The individual members fuck each other—and sure, that's fun—but when a hivemind wants to feel another inside itself, nothing beats trading members back and forth, each subsuming a piece of the other into itself.

One of the fun parts of Mastodon is seeing everyone's cool instance domains, haha.

I killed that that thing weeks ago, but it stalks me still. Deathless, breathless, and sleepless, it could be an unparalleled tracker were it not lacking the cunning of an experienced hunter like myself.

I catch a glimpse of a familiar cloak through the trees as I travel. Again I recognize the flutter of cloth when its wearer ducks into an alley from the bustle of a city crowd. I rent a room at the inn and feel eyes on me until I pull the window’s curtains closed...

The warrior who kicked down the door looked immediately familiar, though I’d never seen her before. Hers was the face in the mirror, the mold from which I was cast, the one my maker could never let go of.

Then her eyes fell on me, and I watched a whirlwind of emotions collide across those features I knew so well, a war that resolved itself when her mouth twisted into a sneer. Oh, and the perfect curve of her lips made even her contempt look beautiful.

Kissing a girl beneath the handful of stars that peek out from the sky's gray curtain. She's fat and beautiful and the naked hunger in my touch doesn't make her flinch. Not even a little.

I loved you too much to see how the love you gave to me was that of a woman for her favorite weapon.

I thought I had a say in who I killed for you. I never imagined you'd just throw me away.

Is it worth it to figure out how to block federating with Threads? Is doing so anything more than an empty statement of opposition, or is there a real safety/privacy concern about a hostile corporate instance that we wouldn't already have with other random instances?

I'm seeing folks on every social media platform I'm on vocally welcoming newcomers, with the exception of here in mastodon, where instead I've seen several different people begging other fediverse users to not be rude and condescending.

All I can think is...yeah, that's pretty representative of the culture here.
