It is time: forthenby.com/2025/10/08/w...

i will be excited and thrilled by quirky book inventions when people get paid fairly.

This always sounds good until we find out who is considered toxic. Like is funding a legal campaign to erase an entire group's existence & posting triumphant selfies every time you manage to hurt them more or less toxic than the people who are hurt being upset about it? These are vital questions!

Right. Okay. We’re back on track. Was hoping for a September Release, but it’ll be this month. Hold on to your hats, Teddy Valance is back.

I’ve managed to score about 3 kilos of apricots, which is not a spoiler for book three, but it’s not-NOT a spoiler for book three. Wish me luck. Serafina will be at my shoulder.

Sometimes I wonder if people understand the intimacy of punishment.

A terrifying sentence and exactly what concerns me. In Orwell's 1984, machines generate books for the masses, ersatz culture devoid of originality. And now here we are. People say they are worried about the machines taking control, but they don't have to - we're giving it away!

Kinda tempted to put a notice on the site saying, “If you feed this into AI, I will add a fisting scene.” Poisoning your datasets through poorly negotiated kink.

when I talk about wanting “messy” queer stories, I don’t mean unedited. I don’t mean full of typos. I mean good stories where everything isn’t laid out crystal clear with black and white morals. I mean stories where everyone’s a little bad and a little good. messy as in HUMAN, complex, deep

writers: stop trying to reassure me who’s good and who’s bad and who deserves capital punishment in stories. start telling me lies that are so pretty, I willingly follow them somewhere awful and say thank you when I’m there

Apologies for the delays to all things Forthenby, last couple of weeks have been a bit wild, and *gestures* have you seen what’s going on out there?

Urgh, how is it I could have had this blurb completely planned out in my brain and now I try to put it on the page? 🦗 🦗 🦗

I’d have paid at least a bit of attention to commercial structure.

I have been told I need to cut at least half a page of Dickie maundering which… fair.

So, Sunday evening, and it’s time to answer the question: what is next for Forthenby? Well, Book 2 is going to be starting soon, hopefully in late September, with a title reveal coming in the next week or so.

I just want to say a massive thank you to the people who have beta, proof, and simply read Forthenby at all the stages of its being. It’s a passion project, always has been, and I’m so grateful to you all.

My brain has decided it’s Friday night. It is so entirely and unforgivingly Thursday.

Teddy Valance: It’s just harmless old Teddy. Teddy Valance: Had killed at least two men.

I don’t normally do ‘casting’ for my characters, but Nicola Coughlan is my ideal cast for Serafina. Because she has exactly the kind of beauty that a) I want for that character, and b) was very popular at that time.

Apposite for today, rest in peace you absolute wonder. Lets hear it for the Supreme Court: youtu.be/7jARdWfJulo?...

Hey, guys. In light of itchio's shadowbanning of adult and LGBT content, my short stories "His Sacred Heart" and "Warm Comforts" can now be downloaded from my site, morgandante.com.

Ah, BlueSky, blurring out my own profile picture from my own delicate eyes. My pfp, which is a statue of Lady Godiva, prominently displayed in a free, public museum?

This order enables all sorts of atrocities. Given how many young LGBTQIA kids are rejected by families, and end up homeless, they will be early victims. It's also going to make leaving intolerable domestic situations scarier for women.

You know, Heyer was always up in arms at people plagiarising Regency-isms from her, but she took “amiable but vague peer” from Wodehouse. Although, I’m fairly sure she reversed the order of the adjectives,

Forgive the joke - James Bond was pretty formative to me: forthenby.com/2025/07/23/7...

Wow, memory unlocked. I wrote this for my mother more than a decade ago. She's dead now, but she kept that damn poem with her, said it made her cry. (I would definitely write it better now hah)

Bending over the bath to clean the plug filter, and the shower drops a huge splash of luke-warm water right across my face in a way that felt uncomfortably evocative. It’s a good thing I’m in to humiliation, isn’t it?

Friday’s got a bit of a swelter on, so why not end your week with something else a little 🥵? (And silly, and intermittently violent) Love, longing, impact play, and some incredibly bad ideas in The Forthenby Inheritance: forthenby.com/chapter-1/

First Wednesday without an update since the Seasonal Midwinter Break, so let’s just say that not only is Chapter 17 is available in its entirety, but now you can read the whole of The Forthenby Inheritance for free, online: forthenby.com/2025/06/18/1...

Seeing an ‘education video’ of what I’m sure probably *was* a horrific historical implement of torture/ method of punishment, but it doesn’t change the fact that at least 30% of the examples they show are clearly modern sex toys, and more than half the illustrations of its use are erotica.

“What manner of monster must she think him? An apology could only be an insult.” Teddy Valance persists in making excellent decisions in the final instalment of The Forthenby Inheritance: forthenby.com/2025/07/02/1...

Not ideal timing, but a couple of technical issues on the site have been brought to my attention, including a missing update. I’m not able to fix them right now as I’m away from my estates (camping) and my Man of Business (big computer) isn’t with me.

A shot has been fired, our heroine has been oppressed, and now Lord Forthenby comes to make amends… what could possibly go wrong. Here it is, the grand finale of The Forthenby Inheritance: forthenby.com/2025/07/02/1...

In which Lord Forthenby apologises. Or attempts to… The next part of Chapter Seventeen is live: forthenby.com/2025/06/25/1...

Hey trans masc friends!!! Please help Orion make sure he's getting their dosage right!!!

Good morning! Today’s update is up, but the formatting has gone to pot again, so I’ll fix that before posting the link.

“But why Hedge, Peaches? Why did you have to take it to Hedge?” There’s more than one kind of betrayal. Peaches has her say, as we begin the final chapter of The Forthenby Inheritance. forthenby.com/2025/06/18/1...

In which Peaches names her terms. The final chapter of The Forthenby Inheritance begins here: forthenby.com/2025/06/18/1...

Did I forget to post the link to today’s update? I did! It’s live on the site (you can even subscribe!) but I’ll post the link here properly in the morning.

This week’s Friday treat is a great example of a Robe à la Polonaise, French, 1774-93. More here via The Met: www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

He paused to reflect on her breast he held in all six fingers. She was digging and marveled. She dropped into Down Dog and breathed deeply, which he recommended. She marveled at his shaft. That shaft is one mean and had to shut her mouth. I am just talking about his shaft, which some people dig.

The final chapter of The Forthenby Inheritance begins tomorrow, so while you’re waiting, why not catch up with Chapter Sixteen? In which things get rather dark for Serafina. forthenby.com/2025/05/28/1...

“She wondered if she had the strength to die for love.” Even a comedy needs dark moments. Chapter sixteen concludes and Serafina faces her future: forthenby.com/2025/06/11/1...

Getting near the end of the novel now. That’s all rolled round a little faster than anticipated.

Continuing with the heavy themes this week, Chapter Sixteen concludes with Mrs Tooting making her daughter’s situation clear: forthenby.com/2025/06/11/1...

Serafina vibes - though perhaps not in the current chapter: www.tumblr.com/oldpaintings...
