The people voted, and by the narrowest of margins...they tied. They always tie. It's amazing.
However! I decided to be decisive in my own right, for once, and where I do love a good transformation story, we've got three books in our transformation series, and no books in our hypnosis series, so...we're trying something new and injecting something fresh into our anthology offerings with "Look Into My Eyes!"
This will be functionally the same as the "All Pumped Up" Anthology funding run, so let's check out the rules, the offered content and the prices!
RULES
-Your claim is binding. Do not claim a chapter if you cannot afford to pay for it! -You can claim any or all of the available chapters. -You can claim anonymously! Simply DM me on Telegram (@Joshiah) if you prefer to keep your bids hidden. -Your claim must be paid within 48 hours of the auction ending. If you fail to pay in this window, the slot will be released. -ALL SUCCESSFUL CLAIMS MUST PROVIDE A SUMMARY EMAIL WITHIN ONE WEEK OF PAYMENT. If you do not do this, you are acknowledging that you may forfeit the chance to have the appropriate details added to your story! -These prompts are open to be claimed as of 10:00 AM on Wednesday, March 6th. They will close at 10 PM on Wednesday, March 13th, or when all prompts have been purchased.
Content and Funding Goals
It's always been tough to streamline this part of the process, but this year, I'm going to make it as simple as I can. There will be four levels to choose from, and only one or two prompts will have Level 4 (the cover art level) as an option to choose from. When you claim a slot, simply add what level you'd like it to be at!
Level One: $100. This gets you a 3,000 word chapter in the book and a dedication in the front section, thanking you for your support.
Level Two: $125. This gets you a 4,000 word chapter in the book and an e-book copy of the final product, once it's finished.
Level Three: $150. This gets you a 5,000 word chapter in the book and a paperback copy of the final product, once it's finished.
Level Four: $200. This gets you 6,000 words, every benefit, and your character will be featured on the cover of the book! (For extra clarification, if you use a Level Four claim on a non-cover prompt, you will still receive every other benefit, but not a guaranteed piece of artwork to go with it.)
The funding goal for all anthologies in 2024 will be $750, to both guarantee that my time is being paid for, and that I can afford to commission an artist to do the cover art.
Look Into My Eyes Chapters
There will be four chapters on FA, four chapters on SoFurry, and four chapters on Inkbunny for this anthology funding cycle. There are some basic hypnosis prompts, some unique ones, and some that blend kinks for a wide variety of different ideas!
Chapter Nine: "Stage Fright." If you're having trouble getting it up, there could be any number of reasons, and an even greater number of solutions. The couple in this story turns to hypnosis first, and thankfully, it works! Now let's see if they last more than four hours... (Two characters, any species, any gender. Hypnosis gives one character their erection back, much to the delight of the hypnotist!)
Chapter Ten: "Sensory Overload." This one is unique, but I think it'll appeal to some of you. The story begins with one half of a couple hypnotizing the other, and then...just walking away. Sitting in a mindless state, the hypnotized character waits in bed as a host of other sensations assault them. What happens is up to you: paw rubs, sexual contact, use and abuse...nothing is off the table! (Essentially one character, any species, any gender. Tell us what you want to happen to them!)
Chapter Eleven: "Earthly Possessions." Two characters enter a haunted house for a fun, daring night, but hours in, they find out they aren't alone. One of the characters is possessed by the ghost that refuses to leave the home, but they aren't mad about the home being entered. They're bored and looking for erotic company...and now they have it! (Two characters, any gender, any pairing, any species. These friends become a lot closer after one is possessed by a horny ghost!)
Chapter Twelve: "Nail That Interview!" One half of a couple is interviewing for a promotion within their company. They're understandably nervous, so just before they leave, their better half hypnotizes them for confidence...but the given order, 'fucking nail that interviewer,' was meant to be just a little shorter. They might not get the job, but they're sure to get some action at the office! (Two characters, any gender, any pairing, any species. Hypnosis gone wrong leads to an interviewer getting banged over their desk!)
