Tabenings - 2018 Edition

Hi! It'sa me, Tabico!

Hm, I can't believe I never thought of that before. It actually scans.

Anyhow, it's, uh, Wednesday, so here's the Tabenings! To be honest it's actually still my intention to post each week on Tuesday, but yesterday I was doing final edits on CORE #12 and was on kind of a roll so that's what I did instead.

As long as I'm being honest, also the last two weeks sans posting weren't Google's fault, either. Although they could have been, fuckers. The holidays came with a triple helping of family issues, and I just wasn't mentally anywhere from which I wanted to post.

But I'm back in my own house and it's 2018, so back on track!

As I hinted at above, CORE #12 is breathing down your neck. Uzobono has finished all the renders and is doing the postwork and page stitching-together, and I am doing the final text edit. (After Uzo renders each panel, I review and revise the dialogue and sound effects, etc, to get the best match with the actual image.) Having it this month is extremely likely!

I've actually been ruminating on our delivery model. As you know by now, CORE issues are huge, well over a hundred pages. Compare this to similar offerings from Metrobay Comics or Mind Control Comix, which are ten to fifteen pages. I'm not denigrating them, mind you, they release more stuff and I like it, I'm just idly wondering if that model might actually be better. I mean, as I am reviewing CORE #12, I observe that many of the individual scenes are narratively complete and really hot - all one needs for a good shlick session - and frankly releasing fifteen scenes at once seems like it may be cheapening the experience as the reader races through them rather than savoring.

Hrm, I think I will posit that as one of the CORE Questionnaire questions this time. Shorter, more frequent issues? Or the phone books we currently deliver?

Also I want to ask which of the 1A - 4D mind control matrix types people prefer, but to understand that question you will have to read the issue.

:D

Alright, time for some smut. Although the holidays sucked in many ways (and were nice in other ways, it wasn't all vicious drama) a girl does have needs and so I did round up some tasty new (well, new to me at any rate) genre porn.

I received a nice email from kivik (https://kivikmc.tumblr.com/) saying how much they liked my fiction and regretting that I had not updated my blog in over a year. To the latter part I could only say "bu-wha?" but I also said "Hey, neat, kivik is back!" And since I hadn't checked kivik's blog in, oh, about a year, I went on over there to have a look, and lo and behold they've been on a bit of an update tear recently. Huzzah!

Then, wanting more, I used one of my favorite tricks. I found one of the images which I had not seen earlier (above) and which was also super hot and I opened that post's "Notes" to see who had "liked" it. Then, since those people obviously had good taste, I went to their tumblr pages to see what else they might have liked.

This led to some old friends, like Haywaine (https://haywaine.tumblr.com/) and Hayushiba (https://hayushiba7.tumblr.com/), which I was glad to see. Always nice to know that people from back in the day are still around. Haywaine, by the way, has a colossal collection of full frontal nudity of lovely young ladies - check out his tumblr and hit the "Archive" link and you will see what I mean!

But, marvelously, I also discovered some new (to me) porn that I really liked! (To be honest, I forget the exact paths I took through the various tumblrs.) The one I'm gonna mention is a recent and excellently productive person with the moniker smut-demon (https://smut-demon.tumblr.com/) who crafts some really top-notch succubus imagealters. Check these out:

There are dozens more where those came from!

Also, near and dear to my heart, smut-demon provided a sadly limited number of really good squick pics. Viola:

and

and the piece de resistance (I am not going to bother to figure out how to accent grave that):

Oh my, yes. Thanks, smut-demon, for making delicious smut that helped me enjoy my winter break a lot more than I otherwise would have!

Right, that's plenty long. Check out above mentioned tumblrs. Prepare yourself for CORE #12. Tabico, out.

Tabenings - Spin Edition

Hello again! I did mention that Wednesday was the new Tuesday, right?

Not much to report. I apparently really hosed Uzobono with the climactic scene of CORE #12, there are an Imperial shitload of props in the scene and they make the computer crash rather than render. I really should know better at this point, but having found myself hopeless in the face of Poser I don't really grok the issues, and therefore don't anticipate the problems I am creating when I write the script. Multi-hour render times only to bluescreen the computer.

I am assured that this will be worked through, but you all need to appreciate the problems I put Uzo through on your behalf. (And mine, obviously.) So get to appreciating.

It's holiday vacation season around here, and I'm going to be traveling until the New Year. This will quite possibly affect my posting - you recall the problems that Blogger gave me last year. I'm not sending Google my fucking cell phone number just to post on my blog when I have the fucking password. Gr!

So we'll see. I'll have my laptop and I'll have the Internet, so I'm hoping this isn't the last you'll hear from me in 2017, but if I go dark it's not because I don't love you.

Tabenings - Wuesday Edition

Hi! Wednesday is the new Tuesday, didn't you hear?

Actually it's just the season coming into play. My spawn is part of a school performance, so that's what I'm doing on Tuesday nights this month. Luckily, Wednesday is still mostly free!

I hope you all noticed that Callidus posted a yummy new manip series over on his website! An alert reader commented on it here, but if you don't read the comments I am bringing it to your attention now. Go enjoy 'Compliance'!

Also, as you've seen, Uzobono and I have slowly been working our way through CORE #12, and we're close enough to finished at this point that the cover has been revealed:

Pretty yummy, eh? Rawr. I love hot, shiny, pod-hatched girls. Also I love Uzobono's artwork.

In truth, although pods do feature in the issue, no one actually hatches out of them. The cover is more metaphorical than 'lifted from the pages'. But if you like squicky things, then I daresay you will like it anyway!

Tabenings - Day Late Edition

Greetings!

I bet you thought I'd died! Or fallen off the blogwagon again. But no, I just had stuff going on last night. Normally Tuesday is a good day for blogging, but every now and then something's happening on a Tuesday night which requires my personal attention.

Anywhoo... CORE #12 scene eleven is done, and now I'm writing the climactic scene twelve! Uzobono is right behind with the renders and we're both hoping to have the issue out to you in 2017. Only a few scenes after the climax, mostly short.

Not a lot otherwise on my smut radar. Looking forward to Half-Shim's story. I don't want to jinx things but it's looking like I should have some writing time this weekend, so if I can work the enthusiasm back up then I can jump back onto 'Modding'. Would be criminal to leave it half-done, especially after all the teasing.

Tabenings - Turkey Edition

Once again I greet thee!

So, CORE is bubbling along. Uzo sent over the renders for scene 9, oh my goodness so hot. And nasty. And hot.

I've sent back the scene ten script, leaving only five scenes to go - but some of them are denoument and quite short. I'd say we have a good shot of having this thing out for you before the new year.

Other than that, not much to report. Thanks to the Kite, I've been playing some Fallout 4 again, heavily modded now. 'Jiggling', that's all I'm gonna say.

Have a loverly Turkey Day!

Tabenings - Green Eggs Edition

Happy Mid-November!

Not much this week; I sent scene nine over to Uzo, three days late, but the scenes are shorter now as we near the dramatic conclusion so I gotta get scene ten written. I think there are, um, fifteen scenes total. But several of them in this near-ten area are quite short compared to the earlier ones.

I'm hoping that Uzo got the mail. If you've emailed me you know that I use an ancient email server hosted in some guy's basement, so the reliability is not exactly six sigma. My usual measure of how things are holding up is the amount of spam I get, which tends to be about twenty-five spam emails per weekday and maybe ten per weekend day; but since last Friday I have gotten maybe twelve emails total, so either the spam filtering got better (super unlikely) or my email address aged off of some list somewhere (unlikely) or some spam center got shut down (I wish) or some ISP has baselessly blacklisted my email provider, which is tragically the most likely scenario.

I have no fix for that, so for the moment I am just keeping my fingers crossed. I sent part nine on Sunday, Uzo, honest I did! If you haven't gotten it, it's not my fault!

Other than that not much going on. Need to get back to 'Modding' now that the recent black days are in the rear-view. Hopefully things will slow down to a tolerable pace around Thanksgiving and give me breathing room... or they might go crazy because the holidays approach.

Tabenings - Kitenings

Well, the needle is moving back towards normal around here, and thank Goddess for that. No writing updates other than to say I am (just barely) managing to keep up with Uzobono; part eight of CORE #12 is sent over and I'm working on part nine. Also, I managed to come up with the plot device that will allow me to end the issue as I wanted to. I hadn't figured out a non-stupid way to do it and that fact was beginning to worry me. But now I know how! Allelujiah!

In other news I've discovered a new art blog which I'm not-quite-obsessively following: The Kite. I first bumped into the Kite's work over on Hentai Foundry - it's technically stunning, professional grade stuff, and smutty as all hell. Also, a lot of it revolves around video games, so that's right up my alley. Not all of it - Pokemon smut? I... what? - but currently Kite has an awesome series of Fallout 4 "question and answer" posts with his/her various porn-enhanced characters and I am eating it up like a bowl of chocolate lesbian rainbows.

Those there are the in-game avatars for said characters. I'm a big fan of the center and the center-right characters in particular, both of whom have super hot doses of Mind Control in their backstory.

The pink-haired one was a Vault Girl in a particularly sketchy vault, eventually having her limbs replaced with prosthetics and her mind reconstructed via the S.L.U.T. program, turning her into the perfect sexual slave. (Lesbian of course!). You should definitely have a look at the accompanying story.

Next to her is N/oR-A, who was snatched from her cryo-sleep but the Institute and her head filled with hardware, making her (a) perfectly obedient and (b) super deadly. Sure, she broke free of the mind control more recently, but life's not perfect.

Now, the Venn diagram of the Kite's likes and my likes are not perfectly overlapping. There's a lot more vicious sadism in his/her works than I enjoy; although I have to admit that it does mesh really well into the Fallout universe, what with the Raiders and Super Mutants etc etc. But I am loving the current "ask the Overbitch / ask the Atomic Bombshells" posts, which are both fun, sexy, and crazily prolific. It's hard enough to update my blog once a week, I have no idea how the Kite updates nearly every damn day. But I love it!

Anywhoo, one of my current go-to smut/fun destinations and I recommend it to you. Hell, this alone was enough to get me to mod up my Fallout 4 game with a bunch of smut mods - including some clothing actually produced by the Kite! - and give it a whirl again.

Also, the Kite also did a fun Secret World (another video game) series wherein her character was captured by demons (although she loved it as it basically involved non-stop sex) and ultimately corrupted into a sexy demon-bee-slave thing. Rawr. Pant pant.
