Last week, I introduced the Core Stories program—my plan to take the long list of unfinished All These Roadworks serials and focus them down to eight fan favourites.
Each of these serials will get at least one new chapter every single month until the story is complete.
Here’s the selection process:
- Three stories selected by the general readership
- Three stories selected by Premium Members
- Two stories selected by me
Now the votes are in, the surveys are closed, and I’m thrilled to announce that our official Core Stories have been chosen!
(I could just tell you what won, but I’m a data nerd, so I’m going to show you the survey responses first.)
The general survey
The general readership ranked the offered stories as follows:
- Noncon Isekai
- The Silver Leash
- The Foster Girl
- The Stepford Pattern
- The Cheerleader Conversion
- The Etrebor Assignment
- The Parole Officer
- Madelyn’s Conservatorship
- Titsy
- Selling Brielle
- Workplace Culture
- Ashley’s Addiction
- Cate Star – Crypt Runner
- Farmer John’s Natural Dairy
- Amy and the Feed
- White Pineapple
- Pregnant in Modwina
- The Bonuses
- Reluctant Breeder
- Jasmine’s Wish
- Compelled Courtesy
- The Milk Girls
- Ruined Dreams
- The Slut’s Kitchen Primer
- Aylee the Alchemist-Slave
- Hellfire
- Destiny Stories
The three stories selected by the general readership are therefore Noncon Isekai, The Silver Leash and The Foster Girl.
The Premium Member survey
For reference, roughly 40% of Premium Members responded to the survey.
The Premium Membership ranked the offered stories as follows:
- The Foster Girl
- Noncon Isekai
- =3 The Etrebor Assignment
- =3 The Cheerleader Conversion
- The Silver Leash
- Titsy
- The Stepford Pattern
- =8 Madelyn’s Conservatorship
- =8 Pregnant in Modwina
- =10 Cate Star – Crypt Runner
- =10 The Parole Officer
- =10 White Pineapple
- Workplace Culture
- =14 Reluctant Breeder
- =14 Selling Brielle
- =16 Amy and the Feed
- =16 Aylee the Alchemist-Slave
- =16 Jasmine’s Wish
- =16 The Milk Girls
- =20 Destiny Stories
- =20 The Slut’s Kitchen Primer
- =22 Ashley’s Addiction
- =22 The Bonuses
- =22 Compelled Courtesy
- =22 Farmer John’s Natural Dairy
- =22 Hellfire
- =22 Ruined Dreams
Given that the stories Noncon Isekai, The Foster Girl and The Silver Leash were already selected by the general membership, the Premium Membership have therefore selected the stories The Etrebor Assignment, The Cheerleader Conversion and Titsy.
My selection
For my own selection of two stories, I’m choosing Madelyn’s Conservatorship because it’s broadly popular across the readership and I enjoy writing it, and Compelled Courtesy because it’s very new and the general readership haven’t even seen it yet, I think it’s going to be popular once you read it, and I need a certain number of hypno stories each month for some of the hypno sites that I post content on.
The final list
The first set of Core Stories therefore are:
- Noncon Isekai
- The Silver Leash
- The Foster Girl
- The Etrebor Assignment
- Cheerleader Conversion
- Titsy
- Compelled Courtesy
- Madelyn’s Conservatorship
Your questions answered
When will the Core Stories schedule start?
March. I already have most of the February stories will written, so the “one chapter every month” will begin at the start of March.
Does this mean these are the only serial stories that will get new chapters now?
No, but other stories will be a lot slower. These stories will occupy the first eight serial chapter slots of each month. Those are the stories released on Mondays and Thursdays (Australian time) for Premium Members, or Wednesdays and Saturdays for free readers on this site. If there are more than eight such days in a month, then there will be an additional chapter of something else, plus I plan to use some of the “one-shot” slots for extra chapters from time to time, as I have in the past.
There will be, for example, an eight-part serial called “Lessons in Lust” running every second Friday starting on 30 January, which is a novella I wrote for the new edition of the book of that name.
The story The Parole Officer was also relatively close to being finished and I might put the extra work in to get that done. (No promises.)
What happens when a story is finished?
I’m not sure yet. My intention is to once again poll the readership in some way, but I’m thinking I might not do that until at least two stories are finished. (When I have one finished story but not two, I’ll temporarily fill the slot with chapters of my choosing.)
It’s likely that the first stories to finish will be The Cheerleader Conversion and Titsy, but no promises.
What about the long-term Premium Member request program?
I’m going to keep taking requests from long-term Premium Members, but I’m going to be a lot slower getting through them now.
How will I know when the Core Story chapters are coming?
They’ll appear each month in the same order as I’ve listed them above.
In future Upcoming Stories posts I’ll indicate the expected Core Story dates, whether I’ve written them yet or not. The next such post will be mid-February.

All These Roadworks
25 January 2026
Noncon Isekai and Silver Leash were on top? That’s awesome, people have good taste.
I’m kinda disappointed that Cate Starr was only middle of the pack, but hey, I’m a free loader, what can I complain about?
I like the final list.
I did think, when I looked at the results earlier in the week, that Cate Star had been doing well, but now I’m not sure if that was the case or if I was just looking at the wrong bar. Oh well. The plan with Core Stories is to finish stories faster than I start them until I get down to a more reasonable number, so Cate will get her day eventually.
If it makes you feel better, it was really hard to narrow it down to three. I had to do a lot of nitpicking to get it whittled down and a lot of stories I *love* but just don’t love the most had to go lower. Cate Star is one of my favorites but, just like so many characters in your stories, I followed whatever made me the wettest lol
Well, I’m good with the stories chosen wished cate star and selling Brielle was among too
Damn, Stepford missing by 1 is so sad, it was such an interesting series.
Also didn’t have much hope for hellfire or jasmine but I voted for them still…
Brutal results. Sigh.
Shame the Parole Officer didn’t make it, that’s the best one. If it’s already almost finished, stick it on the store when it’s done, I’ll happily pay for it.
I’ve got a couple of chapters requested of Parole Officer out of the existing member requests and I think they might bring it close enough that I can finish it on spec.
