Here’s the state of All These Roadworks as at 28 November 2022.
===
Personal and Health
I’ve been sick with a non-COVID throat and chest infection for the last two weeks, which has made it hard to stay on top of work. However, I appear to have recovered now and feel like I’m back on top of the schedule. It did mess with my book plans for November though (see below).
===
Financial
November has been a reasonably good month for the site. I’m expecting the final sales figure for the month to be around $3,200 USD, of which I’ll be paying out about $250 to other authors under the ATR Partnership Program.
That figure is fine, but it doesn’t show any meaningful growth on previous months, and I’ve just received notice of a rent hike, so money is likely to be tighter in real terms going forward if the site doesn’t see corresponding growth.
I did a free book giveaway of Cast A Slutty Spell in late October and early November, which got a lot of interest (hundreds of copies redeemed) but as far as I can tell this didn’t translate into additional sales of paid books in any clear fashion. I’ll likely try another giveaway early in the New Year for comparison.
The three Partnership releases so far (Pleasure Doll, Correcting Kelly and The Fall of Women) have all sold very strongly (by comparison to my book releases generally) so clearly there is a strong appetite from customers to see books that match my kinks by other authors in the store. I’m planning to extend this program with more Partnership releases over coming months.

Upcoming books
My plans to release Book I of Aylee the Alchemist-Slave keep getting pushed back, most recently by illness. I’m considering this one on hold for the time being, until I feel ready to do the necessary writing to bring it to a climax and wrestle it into book format.
This week saw the release of a new story collection, Here Comes the Future – Stories of Erotic Dystopia, which is the official ATR release for November.
I’m currently planning a new Partnership Release for early December – Vicky’s Inheritance, by Tori Hamlin (author of Correcting Kelly).
There will also be a new 3rd Edition of Slave New World coming in late December.

Upcoming serial story chapters
This list includes only chapters of serial stories, of which there are usually two published per week. It doesn’t include the other daily one-shots and reblogs. Dates are the (approximate) dates they will go live on AllTheseRoadworks.com. The free queues are more or less in sync now, so the releases on BDSMLR, newTumbl and ReblogMe should be within 36 hours of these dates.
And just a reminder that paid ATR members at any tier have access to all the queued stories *right now*. (Click here to view memberships in the shop.)

Requested to be written:
The requests list represents stories requested by long-term Premium Members. I currently have requests relating to memberships in July and August of last year (2021). Requests will not necessarily be written in order, and I tend to pick the story from this list that I’m most excited about writing when I sit down to write.
July 2021 requests:
- Candy Girls, Part 11
- Emma’s Division, Part 22
- story like “Anything For Her Crush”
August 2021 requests:
- An Incentive for Ethan, Part 5
- Bovine Testing, Part 6
- Brea Comes Home From College, Part 16
- Candy Girls, Part 12
- Emma’s Division, Part 23
- Reluctant Breeder, Part 7
- Selling Brielle, Part 10
- Small Town Values, Part 8
- The Bradhall Academy: The New Teacher, Part 3
- Tuning Chloe, Part 15
- Tuning Chloe, Part 16
September 2021 requests:
- Bella’s Apology, Part 6
- Pregnant in Modwina, Part 8
- Surrender, Part 8
I also intend to finish the new story “Sir”, which will run somewhere between 7 and 9 chapters (I think), and will be finished in a sprint similar to what I did with “Secret Message”.
I recently solicited story requests from people who were members in August 2021 and who are still paid-up Premium Members today and who have not yet made a request for that month. If you think that’s you, and you haven’t redeemed a request for that month, you don’t need to wait for the solicit – you can get in touch with your request at all.these.roadworks@gmail.com.
