Issue Update: So good news and bad news... I ran all the tests, and found out that the issue was with the V2 NovelAI model. It uses different servers than the V3 or something... but it's strange... Sometimes the V2 worked perfectly fine while the V3 was acting up, but it must've just been a coincidence. Anyways, so the bad news is that I think I'll have to switch to the V3 model for the office story just like how I did with Gyaru, which is really unfortunate as I liked how consistent the V2 model was in generating the main cast. (Unlike Gyaru where the character consistency was all over the damn place.) Meaning that Conor might start to look a little different halfway through the release, and the resolution will change as well to a larger size. I'm sorry if this breaks your immersion... I'll compile and release what I have at 10pm PST, messaging a link to those in the higher tiers, but just know that what I have is still mainly setup. The real feminization stuff is slated for the last 6 pages or so of this release, so I wouldn't recommend upping your sub just to see the first 15-20 pages of setup. Tomorrow I should be able to release it in full.

Office Politics Schedule Update: The story is progressing... but NovelAI's server keeps timing out on me... My PC is working fine, upload and download speed is good and all my other programs are working fine, but it seems like NovelAI's website is experiencing some backend issues and the timing for actually being able to create images is very sporadic. I'll have something to show on Wednesday for Office Politics- at least 20 images I'm sure, but I just plain don't know if I'll be able to finish by the end of Wednesday. Which is really frustrating because so many of the shots are very easy character shots that are just taking forever because I can't fine tune them properly. I've only been able to generate about... 60-70 times in the last four hours? Per image, it sometimes takes dozens of generations just to find a seed worth fine-tuning, then I'll make anywhere from 5-20 variations of that image to get enough "parts" to put a picture together with. Because this particular Chapter is so simple, I've been making progress, but if this was Gyaru I'd be screwed. I'm feeling like the slowdown is causing me to accept images quicker instead of trying for better variations, which is very dangerous territory for a quality-freak like me. So anyways, it'll be done when it gets done. I doubt it will be any later than Thursday, but the servers are being aggressively terrible right now. FOR THOSE IN THE FAST-PASS/ DONATION TIERS- Don't worry, I'll send you guys the dropbox link for the Office Politics Part 3 story in a DM tomorrow (Wednesday.) So even if I'm not finished by Wednesday and your sub expires at the end of the month, or if you choose to unsub/ lower your tier for February, you'll still have the link for Office Politics part 3 ready to go for when I'm able to post it in full. Sorry about the inconvenience guys, I've been sitting here staring at loading screens for hours trying to get this done since Sunday. I really hope this issue gets fixed soon, because this could be a real problem going forward.

Fixing old stories? Let's be honest, a lot of my old stuff looks like hot garbage. The A1 model on NovelAI could hardly do anything, and I spent more time editing the image than I did generating it. No inpainting, no vibe transfer, no ability to specify separate character outfits, it was truly awful sometimes. Now personally, I don't even want to remember some of that stuff much less update it, but- if you guys wanted me to- I could go back and update certain stories with better art/fix images that were poorly made. However, a lot of these "fixes" would eat into the schedule for sure, so I wanted to run it by everybody. I'll make a list of "fixes" I'd make here for your consideration: Reclassed! - Less text, longer/more sex scenes. Probably around 10 extra images. Gone Gyaru - Mostly image resolution and poor quality fixes (especially the tanning bed scenes) Disastrous Delivery - I'd probably add more of a "middle" to this one while updating the sex scene images mostly. Probably 10-15 extra pages of sissy training. Paddled Into Pinkness - I would probably have to regenerate the entire story. So many images are so bad, but making an updated version of this could be fun. The Factory -The brainwashing scene at the end needs work. Lots of fixes mostly. Convention Crasher - I'd redo the whole sex scene at the end probably And that's it. I don't like a few of my older stories and some of them hold up fine anyways (Koakuma, Priestly Duties, and the Lelouch stories are all fine) so I'd only update the ones I listed. If you think that's worth a delay once in a blue moon, heart the post or leave a reply. Not putting up a poll since it's a bit more complicated of an issue.

PFK Finale Schedule and other updates Part #2: I'll be taking a week "off" in July to get a new PC up and running. Also, I'll be using this time to learn stable diffusion and try out different combinations of models and Luas. I'm hoping that I can get multiple models up by the end of the week that can create the kind of content NovelAI Diffusion is bad at, such as cartoon stuff or absurdly high-res images involving multiple characters. It's not gonna be a shortcut or replacement to NovelAI diffusion or anything (unless my PC runs it really fast) but I might use it more and more for intricate lewd scenes and the like. The potential for saving time is huge and I'm hoping I can learn some more tricks in the week to make up for the time spent. Once again, thank you guys sooo much for the support. I would never have been able to afford a new high-end laptop without you and my old one is quite literally falling apart. (Fan issues made it run so hot that the plastic chassis started cracking at breaking off at certain joints.) Know that the support you guys give directly goes into improving the quality of the content (and hopefully the speed too!) Also for fun, here's a side-by-side of the first image I ever mass-generated and edited compared to a new one I made a few days back. I included an image of Milly to show what the original outfit is supposed to look like. AI has come a long way since then, and so have I for sure! (Also holy smokes I used to be so proud of that earlier Lelouch edit hahaha. Like, that took forever to make look even remotely passable and the face/hands/background is so bad. As my first ever edit though I guess I'll cut it some slack.)

Consolidated Archive + OP 15 Preview I decided to set up a more professional archive space so newer subscribers can access all my previous works without having to scroll down for ten minutes. Plus I'll add in an OP preview for fun. The archive will be password-protected and I'll change the password at the start of each month. I'm only going to update the content within once per month, so you'll still need to be subscribed to see the links for the latest content. About this folder: The folder is separated into 5 different sections based on age or content. 1. Model V1 Stuff (Old): All of this has been uploaded for free somewhere or was on the old Patreon. I was a lot less picky/more lazy back then and a lot of this stuff is very rough, but I still like a good amount of it. The only exception is that Crossplay Part 2 is in there which is a newer story. 2. Model V2 and V3: Newer stories that have been completed. They may use a combination of different models since they're so long, but a good amount of them use the newer model. I recommend reading the Original Gyaru story before checking out the "Alternate Only" folder. 3. Ongoing: Self-explanatory. 4. One-Shots + Short Stories: There's all sorts of stuff in here. I like most of it, but a lot of it does feel lazy or incomplete. I might expand on some of these ideas someday or add a few images to "Reclassed!" in particular. The Poll Previews are in here too. 5. Graphic Content: Sooo back in the V1 days, I had a um... "different" kind of way I'd end stories sometimes. The guy would get a full sex change surgery and I'd show all the details to the best of the AI's ability. Semi-Conscious forced sex change surgeries are still very fun imo, but I did not need to show as much as I did- many viewers were not pleased. I still like these stories, but they get bloody. You've been warned. The Link and Password for the archive should be available to all subscribers in the locked text below, and all characters within are 18+. PS: JPEG numbers will be fixed eventually.
