Grrl Power #1210 – Sucqueuebus

by on November 30, 2023 at 5:00 am
Chapter:
Characters: ,

It’s previously been discussed in the comic how succubi need to form bonds with a master, so I won’t reiterate that stuff. I’ll only say that this happens to them at a certain age, let’s say the equivalent of 20 in human years at the very latest. It really depends on their how quickly their innate tantric abilities develop. Pre-pubescent Succubi benefit from “second hand” tantric magic, and there’s a panel on a page with a joke about little girl succubus wanting some cereal, but mama succubus rejects it because it doesn’t have enough Vitamin-T. Only that wasn’t a joke – there really are Vitamin-T supplements for little succubus girls. Their need for tantric energy increases up till puberty when it really starts spiking.

Demon society has sort of formalized this master finding process, and even have magical devices that can keep a succubus free from needing a Master for a little while, if she happens to develop quickly. It’s not the law or anything, on the one hand, demons are kind of like Libertarians, in that they believe anyone should be allowed to do whatever they want so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else… minus the “as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else” part. It’s more like, “as long as you’re powerful enough to get away with it.” That said, though it goes against their natures, demons recognize the benefits of a somewhat structured society – society being fiefdoms under powerful warlords. But even the warlords are like, “You know a road between our two city states would help with commerce and tourism.” Modern demons are kind of caught between their inherent natures to kill and conquer, and a desire to have a working power grid and stable economy.

What I’m getting at in a really roundabout way, is everyone familiar with demon society knows that each year, there’s a new cohort of fledgling succubi looking for masters, usually sophomores in Succubus Finishing School. Yes, the Council of Succubus Matriarchs has made it clear that abuse of succubi is disproportionately punitive, but then again, having lots of sex with your new succubus slave is not exactly considered abuse. In fact, not having lots of sex with her is more likely to get you into trouble. And don’t forget that she’s a mana battery for her master as well. And also don’t forget their utility as spies. As you can imagine, there is a lot of competition for each new cohort of succubi. Like, a LOT.

And if some powerful Archfiend who has already proven himself to be a competent master jumps the line to stick it to his other slave by enslaving her half-sister because his first succubus has become entirely too unruly and uppity and sometimes stabs him in the leg with a soul eater sword, the people behind him in the queue might not take it that well.

Edit: “Sij X” means “bonded to, or subordinate of” X. This was perfectly clear in my head but I forgot you guys can’t just read my mind, like, let’s step it up people.

The September vote incentive is up! Let’s call it the November vote incentive and just say I’ve still got two I.O.U’s, eh?

Well, Dabbler is doing her Dabbler things, and the Patreon version has a nude variant and a comic that… I don’t know, expounds on the goings on of the initial picture?

Tamer: Enhancer 2

by on January 27, 2022 at 4:58 am
Posted In: Blog

I wrote another book!

Have a sequel! Wow, almost two years to the day since the first book. Well, still faster than some of the pros, eh? This book is a bit longer, at 210K words. The first book was right around 120K for comparison.

I wanted to do more with the cover, but I’m not going to hold the book hostage because I didn’t get a chance to hide Yxlyn on the cover yet. (Yeah, like 3 people noticed her on the other cover.)

Please let me know what you think! I’m amenable to all constructive feedback and abject praise. Feel free to leave comments here, but please be mindful of spoilers if you do. You can also email me at grrlpowercomic@gmail, which is also probably the best way to let me know about typos. I’ll eventually release updated versions once typo feedback slows and I’m sure most everything’s been found.

Download your format of choice here:

Here’s a quick link to Book 1 since I’m sure some people will ask.

Tamer: King of Dinosaurs is by Michael-Scott Earle. I’ve linked it several times in the past. The first book is free if you’ve never checked it out, but you don’t need to be familiar with Tamer to read my story. But it’s still free and it’s good… so… get it.

Obviously, “Tamer: King of Dinosaurs” is Michael-Scott Earle’s IP and my fan work is by a fan for fans, and certainly not intended to infringe in any way.

For those of you unsure of how to get a .mobi file onto your Kindle or Kindle app on your phone/ipad, the easiest way is to download it, then email it to your kindle email. You can find this on Amazon, under “Your Contents and Devices” you’ll see a list of books you’ve bought through Amazon. Click on “Devices” up at the top and you’ll see a list of kindles and phones etc that have the kindle app installed. Click on the box with the “…” next to each device and you’ll see an email address for it. Just email that address with the .mobi attachment.

Alternatively, I’m sure you could transfer it with dropbox or google drive or whatever poison you use.

This month’s vote incentive guest stars Lana of Spying with Lana. One of my own secret agents, Pixel, is trying to assist, with various levels of success and… nudity. Well, in the Patreon versions. The Vote Incentive will give you a pretty good idea of what might go down.

Check out Spying with Lana. Their current vote incentive features a certain gold-plated glamazon. Also it’s a funny comic with tons of skin.

November Vote Incentive Posted

I thought I would make a separate post for this.

The vote incentive is updated! I started drawing this and honestly had the thought that I might shelve it so I could use this for a plotline setup in the comic itself. The Vallejo Glamor, not the Nude version, obviously. And while I reserve the right to do it at some point in the future, the one thing I learned from drawing this is that those tiny bikinis take a lot more effort than you might think. Sure, in the comic, the art wouldn’t be nearly so fiddly and intricate, but Sydney’s “Coin Mail” is right out, and I can also foresee Maxima’s “Drizzled Metal” bikini just wildly morphing from page to page, not because it’s supposed to me like a clingy T-1000, but because I just think I remember how it looks and don’t bother checking and 5 pages later it looks suspiciously like Princess Leia’s slave bikini. 

Though I will say the TOS Star Trek cloudy pastel backgrounds are a little easier to draw than perspective correct interiors. 

Nude and textless versions over at Patreon.

Some more book recommendations

An Orc at College

I’ve recommended this Liam Lawson series before. I love me some good xenoanthropology, and my favorite thing about this series is the “fish out of water”/”Tarzan in New York” bits where the Orc main character has to figure out all the weird cultural stuff humans (and other races) do.

Well, Book 8 is out, Trorm’s family is coming to visit, and the xenoanthropology spills out onto the front lawn in the form of fistfights and flaming maces, much to the horror of the hand-wringing and probably slightly racist HOA. Mmm mmm! Good stuff!

.

Entangled Fates

A near future, proto-cyberpunk novel. As in, the main character is, through circumstances beyond his control, the first guy with a quantum linked AI in his brain. It’s kind of like he’s got “The Machine” from Person of Interest riding shotgun, only instead of being an enigmatic and vaguely creepy superintelligence, his machine decides it likes the human experience and adopts very anthropomorphic (feminine) qualities right off the bat. Corporations, governments, and organized crime antagonize, and eventually a bunch of ex-military female bodyguards are hired because they blend in better than burly dudes in suits and sunglasses. Yes, it’s a (slow burn) harem, obviously.

.

Savage Ascension

There’s a lot of stories like this one, i.e., displaced hero makes good and grows his household and gets his revenge, partially by living well, but mostly with head chopping. I’m recommending this one because from among the similar books I’ve read recently, I thought this one stood out. I immediately bought the second book when I finished the first, which is a pretty good gauge of a series I think. I have a lot of orphaned Book #1’s in my library. This one is like, Isekai-lite. Instead of being from another world, the MC is a “Savage” from the north, forcibly taken to the “civilized” city where he proves that being a skilled hunter is advantageous in slave arena battles. So, it’s kind of a bummer at first, but then he finds out that if he wins, he gets to pick a wife from an assembly of female combatants, and the ruling class here has a way to combat a blight of infertility sweeping the land, so the MC is like, “I guess I’ll pick up a wife or two before I get my revenge on everyone.” So, yeah. As books of this nature go, I thought it was one of the better ones.

The Lost Fleet: Dauntless by [Jack Campbell]

The Lost Fleet

This series is a little different from most of my recommendations. It’s more akin to the early Honor Harrington books, which I quite liked, for their technical fleet battles. (I’m as surprised as anyone I enjoy that stuff.)

The hook of this series is; Guy wakes up from 100 years in cryosleep to discover 1) The war he was fighting is still going on, 2) Everyone thinks he’s some mythical super-tactician cause he fought in a famous, desperate battle before jumping in his pod. 3) He kind of is, because now, after 100 years of constant war, so many people have died that advanced fleet tactics have been lost as the war chewed up all the old captains and admirals, and most warfare has devolved into “charge forward and hit them harder than they hit you.”

Something I like about this series is that it recognizes that space is stupidly huge, and when a ship that is 10 light minutes away from you does something, it takes ten minutes for you to know about it. Fleet battles held at .1 lightspeed still take hours and hours when fleets start off in distances measured in AU’s.

Some Book Recommendations

by on May 24, 2020 at 11:45 pm
Posted In: Blog

So I found some books that I really enjoyed, and I thought I’d make a separate post about them. It’s actually two series, both by the same author, Daniel Schinhofen.

The first thing I will tell you is, don’t worry about the covers. He’s kind of famous for having bad covers. The cover from Apocalypse Gates looks like a flat lit Doom 1 level.

Anyway.

The series I really liked is Binding Words, the first book of which is Morrigan’s Bidding. One of the things I liked about it was the book is very good at laying out the rules of the world the MC finds himself in. This might seem like a minor point, but the rules of this world are quite important, and some books don’t do a great job with set up. I will admit, I also like the fact that the MC is kind of OP, even though (and I don’t want to spoil anything) there’s not a lot of action in the first book. I’m sure some of you are like “How is he OP if he’s not kicking ass?” Ah, see? You gotta read it to find out.

One caveat – you guys know that I like the slice of life stuff, right? I mean, if you’ve been reading Grrl Power, you’ve probably figured that out. That said, by the time I got to the third book in Binding Words though, even I was like “I don’t really need to know what they eat for every single meal. It’s okay to skip ahead a few days.” But don’t let that dissuade you from checking out this series. I’m definitely snapping up the next book when it comes out.

After finishing all the released Binding Words books, I jumped straight over to a new series he’s working on called Aether’s Blessing. Or… the series is Aether’s Revival. Book 1 is Aether’s Blessing. It’s fairly different from Binding Words (though there is at least one common theme)

Some of you may be familiar with his other series, Apocalypse Gates and Alpha World. I have tried to read Alpha World on numerous occasions, and I can’t get into it. It’s not because the writing is bad, but I just cannot get into books that are set in video games. I just can’t bring myself to care about what happens, because no matter how it’s set up, whether it’s VR, or the character’s brain is trapped in the game or whatever, there just aren’t any stakes for me. If a horde of demi-liches are about to sweep the last bastion of humanity, I can’t help thinking, “Yeah, but what happens if some developer patches the game and now all the liches are covered in Mt. Dew branding like a NASCAR driver, or are accidentally flagged as neutral?” or “What if a janitor trips over the power cord to the server?” And also, what if the main character does defeat the horde of demi-liches? Do they just respawn the moment he turns his back so other players can take them on, thereby lowering the stakes even further? It’s a bad set up for a book. If an author wants to put game like stats in his novel, then just have the character wear some sort of contact lense that scans everyone’s strength levels, or make it a spell, or have aliens rip out everyone’s eyeballs and replace them with cyber eyes that give them special skills and make them duke it out on a planet full of dinosaurs. It’s just lazy writing IMO to make it a video game.

I’ll probably try again to read further into Alpha World, and maybe I’ll get to a point where I can ignore all the game stuff, because I really liked the two series I recommended above, but man, it’s tough. “Oh, he finally met a girl that’s probably going to be a love interest… but has he? Or has he met a lookup table with some clever dialog trees?”

Anyway. I liked his other books and maybe you will too.
