Free Fiction Friday: The Man at Table Six

Here's a totally new short story about a man with reality-bending powers, playing with a young waitress during lunch hour.

Just some basic bimbofication / mind control here. I didn't really have a plan when I started, and I just sort of let the story find an ending on its own. I was aiming for something akin to the famous chaotic "Bad Man" stories by MC_Fan and Burke Rakers, respectively, but I don't feel I really did those stories justice.

Oh well, I can always try again, I suppose. Please enjoy, everyone. :-)

Exciting News and Ebooks Links

(UPDATE: Angela's Last Resort 2 is up! :-) )

I've got lots of exciting news to share, but first, I think I've finally got my Amazon ebook fiasco under control.


Angela's Last Resort 1 & 2 have been resubmitted to Amazon now, though only Angela's Last Resort 1 has gone live so far. But ALR2 should be up in another day or so, and I'll update this post with links.

Also, I've had to resubmit this month's ebook, The Doll, as The Living Doll, with a new cover and title, as well as slight changes to the book description. This new cover and title will only appear on Amazon, as I'm leaving the original big-boob cover on B&N, Smashwords, and Kobo

I really like the original cover, though the new one shows off the whole Mannequin-transformation thing quite well, I think.

New, Boob-light Cover
Old, Big Boob Cover

















I've rewrote most of the book descriptions of my entire catalog on Amazon, to minimize the chance of further issues in the future. 

The biggest change I've had to make was to my gender transformation / forced crossdressing story Pledge Week Revenge: Sissy Makover. I've changed the title to the much simpler Panty Raider's Punishment, and given it a less objectionable cover. (The original showed too much skin, apparently)


********


In more exciting and related news, a well-known erotica author, Selena Kitt, has launched a new erotic ebook site called Excitica.com (Details at Selena Kitt's blog: HERE)

Like my own recent problems, she has had to deal with the major ebook distribution sites, like Amazon, Kobo, B&N, Smashwords, and so on, trying to censor her books. Amazon especially is cracking down harder and harder these days, and constantly changing what they consider allowable content, with no clear indication as to their actual policies.

Selena Kitt's new Excitica site promises to allow practically anything, with no fears of censorship. At the moment it is still under beta, and busy trying to work out bugs. But apparently it will fully launch sometime later in the year.

Since I haven't been able to get onto the site proper, many of the details are still unknown to me, but overall the site sounds like a great idea, for myself and erotica writers everywhere. Once the site is up and going, I fully plan to join up and publish all my stories there, as well as at Amazon, Smashwords, and B&N.

I do know that this site is much better set up for erotica, with lots of useful categories in place, for just about every common fetish out there. 

And this new site is supposed to pay out at around 60% price, a bit lower than Amazon, but not bad. Even better, it will pay 60% even for ebooks under $2.99, so I might finally be able to put up some short stories for $0.99. Whereas Amazon drops to 35% for books under $2.99.

All in all, I can't wait for the site to fully launch, and start selling ebooks there. I've had a lot of ideas that are just too out-there for Amazon or any of the normal distribution sites. But this new site sounds like just the place to try some of them out, and see how they go over.

Also, I'm roughly 70% done with my new ebook, which will have lots of piercings, and some nice big breast enlargement for you all to enjoy. Thanks for visiting! :-)

An Update on the Great Amazon Ebook Crisis of 2014

Okay, I've been real busy this weekend dealing with my whole ebook problem. I've reworked the synopsis and tags for nearly all my ebooks on Amazon, and even reworked a few covers too, all to minimize the chance that another story would blocked. Only time will tell if it worked.

As for the two books that were blocked, I emailed Amazon about it, and got a form letter in response. Besides being totally unhelpful, it did mention that I could try resubmitting my stories. So I've republished Angela's Last Resort, adding the number 1 to the title, and reworked the synopsis to remove any possibly offensive material. The actual content of the book remains largely the same, though I have rewrote several early sections to slightly tone down Angela's abduction scene. Mostly by giving her lots of unexpected orgasms, which I'm sure she needed. :-)

Anyway, the story isn't really changed in any major way. As to Angela's Last Resort 2, I haven't resubmitted it yet, but will soon now that I know ALR1 got accepted.

I also want to mention that I have resubmitted my new mannequin transformation ebook, The Doll, to Amazon just a few minutes ago. I changed the cover entirely, and now the story is entitled The Living Doll.

As much as I really loved the original big-titted cover, I think it showed too much skin and got the story flagged by Amazon's sales-killing adult filter. I've noticed that, despite being brand-new this month, it wasn't showing up in my searches on Amazon. The filter hides stories from the main search; to see the filtered stories, you have to actively select the Kindle Store in the search bar. Which most people don't seem to know, yet, unfortunately for all us starving smut writers.

Anyway, now that things seem to be getting back under control, I'm focusing on my new story. It'll feature lots of body-modifications, like piercings and breast expansion, as well as some medical-play. So far I've completed about half of it, over 5,500 words. Hopefully I'll be able to finish the rest before the end of this month.

Thanks to you all for your sympathies and support, and especially your patience, while I've dealt with this whole Amazon fiasco.

Another Amazon Censorship Crisis

UPDATE: I've sent Amazon an email, hopefully they'll respond soon. If they just let me resubmit my books, I'll be satisfied, I guess.

Sigh. This is turning out to be a tough week; first I had minor surgery just a few days ago, then I spent all day yesterday driving across the state in a crowded pickup, and now when I finally get home, I find out that Amazon has blocked two more of my ebooks.

Every time before they only put my ebooks back into draft status, which meant I could still edit them, and maybe fix whatever it was that was ticking off their censors. But now they've outright blocked Angela's Last Resort 1 & 2, pretty much ruining my series, at least on their site. And since they are now blocked entirely, I can't even edit them and fix the issue.

I'm not really sure what to do at the moment; if I resubmit them, with a different synopsis they might accept them, or they might get annoyed and block my whole account. Impossible to know. Both have been up on the site for months now, and suddenly they aren't good enough for Amazon. (Not that Amazon is offering to return the +30% they took from each sale, of course.)

Until I figure out what to do, I can't really mentally focus on writing. Sorry. I'll try to keep this hiatus short. Hopefully I'll figure something out. For now though, if you want to purchase these blocked ebooks, they are still available at the following links:

Angela's Last Resort

Angela's Last Resort 2

I even have a new, fun little mind control story in the works. All day long I've just wanted to get home and finish it for Free Fiction Friday. And then this happens, again. :-(

I'm too glum and tired to think about this anymore. I'll see you all later, hopefully soon. Sorry about all this.

- Tabitha Kohls, who is feeling very disheartened at the moment. And regretting not buying a gallon of ice cream on the way home.

Free Fiction Friday: Chief Executive Bimbo (WIP)

(UPDATE: This story has been finished as an ebook, Chief Executive Bimbo, now published on Amazon and elsewhere. It turned out a bit different than this old free story, but is the same basic tale, only much longer, of course. I'm also working on a sequel to CEB.)

Sorry about missing the past Free Fiction Friday.

Today's fiction is an old work-in-progress bimbo tale about an executive blackmailed into turning herself into a bimbo. It's only a beginning, but hopefully you'll all still find it interesting. 2,600 words, all told.

Story after the break, as usual. Enjoy! :-)

New Ebook: The Doll

Greetings! Sorry about missing last Friday's free fiction post, my computer has been really acting up lately, and being a general pain. I'm not sure I'll be able to get anything new finished for this Friday either, but I've got some WIPs I can post instead. Maybe part of my Milking Games story?

Anyway, I did finally manage to finish a totally new ebook before my computer crashed. It's called The Doll, and is a mannequin transformation story, similar in some fashion to my earlier tale, Her Hospital Nightmare, as both are built around women immobilized and mistaken for inanimate dolls.

This story ended up just over 18,800 words long, easily my longest story to date! Due to the length, though, I've decided to publish it at a slightly higher prize than usual; $3.99. I managed to work in a fair number of humiliating scenes of the living mannequin woman being treated like a slutty doll by random strangers. FYI, there is also a bit of forced feminization/cross-dressing.

The Doll (18,800 words)

A young, busty con-artist uses a stolen drug serum to temporarily immobilize herself, all as part of a complex scheme to impersonate a department store mannequin, and rob a brand-new store on its opening night. 

But will her disguise fool the crowds of gawking shoppers? And what if the experimental serum fails to wear off as planned? Will she find her temporary disguise has become a permanent new career? Will she be doomed to spend her days modeling skimpy lingerie, as bored and horny men ogle and grope her immobile body? 


These questions, and more will be answered in this incredibly hot, new story by erotica author Tabitha Kohls! This 18,800 word long tale features detailed scenes of mannequin transformation, public exhibitionism, public humiliation, personal groping, humiliating outfits, rough anal sex, powerful vibrating sex toys, and even male crossdressing and feminization!

Smashwords
Barnes & Noble
Kobo

I'm really happy with how this cover turned out. I spent a lot of time in GIMP trying to give her a more plastic-like sheen, and enlarging her breasts. And I didn't even have to enlarge her lips; they were that big to begin with! :-)

I hope you all enjoy this new tale as much as I did writing it. Have a fun Humpday, everyone! :-)

Free Fiction Friday: The Sorority Sissy (WIP)

Sorry that this is a bit late, my computer is on the fritz right now, and for some reason I can only get blogger to load in Google Chrome. Something is broken with Firefox.

Anyway, today's story is an old Work-in-Progress that I abandoned last year, about a young male college student accidentally trapped in a Sorority during the beginning of Hell Week, and mistakenly being forced to pledge the Sorority as a female.

I ended up rewriting the whole story, adding two additional cross-dressed characters to add a sense of competition, which became Pledge Week Revenge: SISSY MAKEOVER

As a WIP, this tale is unfinished, and actually ends rather abruptly. I've recently considering giving this one another go, as I had a lot of it planned out and some of the ideas still sound pretty fun to play with.

Anyway, the story is about 3,000 words long, and after the break.
