It's taken a couple of days, but I've combed through TG Techie and found every reference to a song or band. There is one exception, a reference to Guns 'n Roses, a band I have never sought out nor listened to. Nor could any argument be made to sway me.

But good news! I think there will be a little something in there for almost everyone to hate.

They're'll be one on Spotify and one on Youtube. The youtube playlist will have 2 songs the Spotify list does not. One which was never on Spotify and one which has since been removed. I'll do my very waking best to keep them both updated, because there's a lot more to write.

I love you very much, babies

Putting together a playlist on Spotify and Youtube of all the music that's been mentioned on TG Techie. As soon as I remember that I want to work on that.

Would you guys also want the music I listen to while writing it? They are not the same thing.

Oh, right! I started posting chapters again. Just not on this site. I probably won't post here again.

There are reasons, I'll let you speculate wildly. Meantime you can read the new chapters on TG Storytime

https://www.tgstorytime.com/viewstory.php?sid=4279

Take a survey! (This has been moved above the fold so people can preview that another survey is happening)
https://s.surveyplanet.com/wy3izw6w

To be honest I'm really just gauging reader interest in a return. But, like, I never meant to leave it for so long. Just... just a bunch of stuff happened. I moved from Denver (did you guys know I lived in Denver?!) and my heart stopped a bunch. But I'm on a really good med cocktail right now, and knowing whether I can sustain a writing habit again is pretty important to some long term goals.

So being even the most honest, this is gauging reader interest in the same way I gauge my interest in eating a nice piece of chocolate cake. The interest is: yes I want some of that fucking cake.

Does that scan? I'm doing this as hard as I can again.

Gonna keep the survey open for a week, then close it and post a nice post-mortem here

Every previous sexual partner will tell you I'm not above playing dirty, so here's the deal: We have a nice opportunity to take a step back and get some feedback.

Go here

Have some fun with a survey. At some secret predetermined number of surveys taken, I'll release a section of the upcoming chapter I've been working on.

No signup is required for the survey, and there are a few answers that will have a direct impact on the focus of the next 10-15 chapters. And I have plans for some less than canonical little asides, depending.

Should be painless.

Remember, I love you very much.

Well the 3rd draft of 11th Sun is being a cocksucker and I'm in the need of a little love. TG Techie is resuming, so everyone can tell me what they thing of something. I would put all the finished drafts of 11th Sun up, but then no one would buy the book. Which would be sad.

I'm not in a great place and I need a push to keep going.

On the other hand, like the chapter just published isvery sexual, which is a turn off to most of this crowd. And it only gets more intense--and more weird--from here on out. But the chapters here had been received well so far. We'll see how it goes. No one is forcing you to click the link after all.

So updates on Sunday and Thursday for a little bit, I think. I'm taking a break from my main project to do this so it is not going to last long. Basically as long as I feel like pushing myself away from what I really need to be doing, just to whore some likes online.

This site is such a pain to update on. And as a result I've got 7 chapters ahead on TGStorytime where I'm also posting it. Someone finally called me out on it.

So over the next week there's going to be a new chapter a day until we're all caught up. After that things go on a weekly schedule. There's a bunch of exciting things happening I won't spoil, and at some point soon the plot is going to make a brief appearance before it quickly goes away again.

So this chapter is the start of the futanari. It's not the absolute weirdest that TG Techie is going to get, but we've just jacked the weird level through the roof.

Just so you know, futa is the ceiling. I'm not going as far as say, dick fucking, or horse cocks. If that's what you're into I don't have any judgement, it's just not where I'm taking this.

And I'm sorry if you didn't think this was the way the story was going. Not so sorry that I'm going to change it, but still sorry. If you want some tech then the sex chapters are clearly labeled and I'm trying to divide them so that the tech stuff is independent.

Oh, and thursday's chapter is a bunch of teenaged drinking, so you've been warned about that too now. @ me with your passionate disapproval, or just do whatever.

Alright. This is a comprehensive everything on Pokemon, and Pokemon GO. An explanation of what has happened in the story so far is at the bottom of the page. This may or may not be updated, as I feel like. The text is meant to be organic and easy to read for experienced players, so if you are not one of those you may find it useful to check back here, if I have indeed updated it. There will also be a curory explanation in Chapter 21. If you're too excited to progress that far, or it still confuses you, check here.

Pokemon was a game developed by Nintendo and originally released for the Gameboy in the 1990s. There were two iterations, Red and Blue, which represented your team. Red and Blue members could hook up their Gameboys to fight one another with the Pokemon they had collected in the game (see: below). Members of the same team could also trade Pokemon back and forth.

The name Pokemon is a combination of pocket and monster. In the game the player goes out in the world with pokeballs, with which they can capture and store pokemon, after defeating them in combat. The pokeballs are small enough to fit into your pocket you see. The player chooses one of three Pokemon to start with, and uses these to fight other Pokemon in order to increase their stash. As the player progresses they find increasingly difficult Pokemon that they must defeat. These more powerful Pokemon can then fight even more difficult enemies.

Each Pokemon has an element and each has unique abilities that are informed by their element. A water Pokemon for example uses water attacks like "splash" or "tidal wave". These attacks vary in power depending on the element of the Pokemon they are fighting. A water Pokemon's attacks deal greater damage to fire Pokemon than they would to a fighting Pokemon.

With each battle won the pokemon increases in strength until it evolves into a more powerful version. These have different names and more powerful attacks.

Pokemon GO was developed by Nintendo in partnership with Niantic. Niantic had previously made a game called Ingress, an exercise augmented reality game. Ingress used the player GPS position to allow them to capture "nodes" and change them for their team. Each node confered points that would allow the player to get more virtual money so that they could capture more nodes more quickly.

With this infrastructure in place, Niantic was positioned and partnered with Nintendo to make Pokemon GO, a real world augmented reality game. Pokemon GO is an app for your smart phone (iOS or Android) that allows you to find nearby pokemon in the real world and capture them. The pokedex (an index of available pokemon) is based on the Pokemon found in Red and Blue as each sucessive version of the game has a new pokedex.

Player visit a real world location to retrieve pokeballs called a pokestop. They can also get items like potions that allow them to heal a pokemon in combat, or revive a pokemon that has lost a battle.

The Gameboy version of Pokemon was played in what's called turn-based combat (which I hate). Player take turns selecting and using abilities on one another. Pokemon GO is real-time combat. Players use their skills and speed becomes an issue. The player has limited time to attack and defend before the pokemon they are battleing can use their abilities.

Every pokemon has an attribute called combat power (CP). This attribute increases as the pokemon wins battles, and each pokemon has a different maximum that they can reach. The most powerful pokemon have a max of around 5,000 CP while your starting pokemon have a CP of 1.

Some pokemon have shiny versions. More powerful and harder to defeat versions that are very rare and difficult to find.

Teams:
Pokemon GO differs from the gameboy version in several respect other than the real-time combat. There are three teams: Valor (Red), Mystic (Blue) and Instinct (Yellow). Each team has a different mascot Pokemon but otherwise they differ in no real respect. The team you choose is based in reality on whatever color appeals to you. There are bigoted assumptions about the personalities of those who choose different teams. But to my eye there is no real difference in players other than what they want from a team. There are assholes on all sides.

Valor is the largest team, and are commonly thought of as the assholes by other teams. Mystic is the second largest, and has a reputation for more cautious and strategic members. Instinct is the smallest team (by a lot). No one likes Instinct.

Pokegyms:
Like all other elements gyms have a real world locations, and offer several benefits. They can revive a fainted pokemon (one that has been defeated in battle and is no longer able to fight in other battles). The offer in game currency and can aid the experience of already captured pokemon.

Gyms can only be accessed when your team has control of the gym. In order to take control of a gym possessed by another team you must fight the pokemon that they have placed there. These pokemon have an attribute called motivation power (MP) that governs how easy they are to defeat. MP steadily decreases while the pokemon is on the gym, and my be revived with raspberries gained from defeating other pokemon, or from pokestops.

Each pokemon on the gym has to be fought three times in order to remove it from the gym, and as many as six pokemon can be placed on a gym at a time.

Raids:
Occasionally a very powerful pokemon, owned by no team, will take over a gym. These pokemon can be defeated through the combined efforts of all teams, and yield very powerful rewards.

In Chapter 14: Bookstore:
Aisling, Autumn, Sarah and Regular Dave are on their way to a bookstore, and decide to stop by a gym on the way. The gym is owned by Valor at the time, and they want to take it for mystic. They are unaware as they travel that Aisling belongs to Instinct.

The gym is only defended by a low level pokemon (Magicarp in this version but that will change. Sorry.), and Aisling's friends engage it in its second combat. As they are close to defeating it, Aisling leaps in for the third combat, with her shiny Snorlax (a very powerful pokemon that does not actually have a shiny version yet). She waits as the Magicarp flails ineffectually at her Snorlax, and when the other have defeated it in it's second round, the KOs the defending pokemon in one hit and takes the gym for her team, Instinct. She then slams the Snorlax down to defend the gym. As a shiny it's relatively unassailable by the other while it's at full MP.

Aislings friends are impressed with her skill, and find newfound respect for her. Or they would if they weren't teenagers. Instead they call her an Instinct whore, and swear at her until everyone is pissed off and they go to the bookstore.

This site isn't really here for erotica, and I get that. There are some erotic stories but by and large the content (or at least the popular content) is rated PG-13 at worst.

I'm not really a PG-13 kind of person.

So if you're reading TG Techie and you like the plot part but not the sex part, I'm sorry for that last chapter that was exclusively a bacchanal, and in which no plot moved forward. That thing about drawing a bottle will come up again, but don't worry about it if you skipped the chapter.

On the other hand, my previous description of a vivid masturbation scene was ruled "too tame" to warrant an XXX warning on the title. I put them on there so that people who are trying to get off on my work have an easier time, and the people who don't want to have an easier time not doing it to. Maybe a detailed description of titty gropes isn't wild enough for this person either?

If that's the case I really hope they stick around for the bukake scene I'm working on at the moment. The sex is going to steadily escalate, and by the time this is all over, you're going to wonder how this scene was even sex. But the XXX in the title is staying.

And again, if you're turned off by reading your sex, or you just don't think it fits in the story, I get it. I'm not going to try to please everyone, but I don't want you to miss out. I'm doing my best to put the sexy bits in their own chapters so you won't miss out on too much.

In the time that I've been gone, I got a new kettle. Absolutely nothing else has happened.

Edit: Nope, can all of that. Back in a few hours with an update

Babies? I love you very much

I thought that Dr Steel thing would have found at least one other fan. Really? No one?

Yeah, what was funny about that?

Rachel asked, “Hey Regular Dave, what’s the safety factor on a couch?”

“Sixteen,” he told her. Everyone laughed.

Safety is very very important in tech. You can screw around with the design, you can jury rig what you want, as long as it's safe. The fire in the Iroqouis killed over 600 people, you don't play with that.

Rigging (suspending things from the ceiling) is especially technical, and there's a lot of engineering involved. You have to know exactly how much what you are lifting weighs, but also what every component in the rig is able to hold, and then what the whole can hold. Much of this is ballparked, and then over designed. For instance, every knot that you put in a rope decreases the integrity of the rope by 50% in your equations. Is that based on the exact tensile strength of the rope, the efficiency of the knot, and how dirty the techs hands were when they tied it (which is actually a viable variable)? No. It's probably no more or less than 5%, depending on the knot. (There's math on that too.)

So riggers use something called a safety factor. The weakest element in your rig should be able to hold a factor higher than the most weight you might ever put on it. For the most part this is 8:1 (or just 8). The rig should be able to hold 8 times as much as the most weight you're planning to put on it.

So what's the safety factor on a 50 pound couch? 16 sounds about right to me.

(Yes, I know that the factor is not figured in to the ballast weights. Sarah was deliberately misunderstanding him.)

Here we are, at long last. Aisling has come to the stage for the first time.

https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/72158/tg-techie-chapt...

Well if you're reading TG Techie, (and if you are, thank you. You should comment more though) for the techie stuff, I'm so sorry but it's still coming. Aisling as a character is almost defined enough to move into it. Just three more chapters, and the stuff starts on the fourth. So two weeks out.

If you've been following my blogging, you know that I'm writing this while I take a break from 11th Sun. I'm letting it cool before I work on the third draft. The community response has been more enthusiastic with TG Techie, but sci-fi noir is a niche inside a niche inside a niche. I'm not worried about that.

11th Sun is only posted about 2/5ths of the way on this site (the first draft is complete on other sites but I won't tell you where, because the first draft is bad). I'm not planning to post the third draft at all. It will resume once a week postings when I'm done posting TG Techie. (That's the plan right now anyway.) But I crave attention and feedback, and I'm a shameless comment whore.

Here's the good news for you. I'm posting 2,000 word chapters of TG Techie twice a week, while I write 2,000 words a day. From the chapter I just posted, I have 14 more written, right now. So I have a LOT of content to share with you. I was anticipating 60,000 words, but I already have 45,000 and I'm not even to Friday of her first week of school. We have a long way to go until she grows a dick and stuff (if that's what your reading for. I told you it would get weird.).

So I'm looking at 100k now as the target, and when I get to a place I can finish I'll stop, and it'll be time to revise 11th Sun again. But by that time you'll only be in the second act of TG Techie, and I'll still be posting.

To long/Didn't read: I have content to post and I'm still making more. If you like my work (seriously, comment more) then there will be a lot more to come.
