Friday Flashback: The Unsurf9ced

Once again, this week I’m cruching the code in an effort to conjure a few overlooked gems—well-regarded stories that have neither cracked the top ranks of story views nor been featured in a Flashback post. Lots of classic muscle authors this time, as well as one of my own earliest tales. Hope you find something you enjoy, and if not there’s more to choose from in the back.

The next site update is tomorrow, 28 January. In the meantime, have fun exploring the archives, and thanks for visiting the site.

Weekly Update: 21 January 2021

This week’s offering from me is a new chapter of my Patreoncommissioned story “Casey’s Mancock”. Plus there’s lots and lots more great stuff below. Please check it out, and star-upvote and comment on the stuff you think is great. 

The update two weeks from today, on 4 February, is the next Vignette Party! That’s where every single one of my kindhearted and beautiful $15 and up Patreonites can suggest a one-scene story for me two write. If you’re in that group—please, send me your story idea! And if you’re not, well, you can be if you want. DM me by the Wednesday before—I’m looking forward to turning your ideas into stories I might not have written otherwise. Open that DM window now and tell me what you want to see!

The Friday Flashback this week collected stories where tattoos made a difference; take a gander if you missed it. The next update is a week hence, on 28 January. In the meantime, thanks for visiting, and enjoy the site!

Weekly Update: 14 January 2023

Gobs of stuff this week, including a continuation of “An Air of Detachment” from me (the one with the FBI agent and the strangely separable victim). And if that’s not what you’re looking for, there’s more below. Dig in and see what you like, and if you do remember to star-upvote and comment to help others find what they’re looking for.

The Friday Flashback this week collected stories that measured round, hard, sexy muscles against old-timey cannonballs; check that out if you missed it. Humble thanks as always to my lovely Patreonites, without whom I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. If you have a story you think might play well with the other stories on the side, I’d love it if you shared it with us.

The next update is a week hence, on 21 January. In the meantime, thanks for visiting, and enjoy the site!

Weekly Update: 7 January 2023

Welcome to the new year! It’s another big update, with all kinds of contributions. This week’s offering from me is a new SF-ish story called “Across the Metaverse.” If you folks like it, I may explore the continuing adventures of Joe and Preter. Either way, lots of stuff to enjoy below.

The Friday Flashback this week collected stories from January 2018; check that out if you missed it. Heartfealt thanks as always to my lovely Patreonites, without whom I wouldn’t be able to do what I do.

This week’s flashback:

Weekly Update: 31 December 2022

Brace yourself for a MASSIVE year-end update—thanks to the all-holiday posting last week we have an overflow crowd of thirty-one hot and sexy chapters over sixteen smutty yarns, including several unexpected continuations of popular tales alongside some really hot new stories. And there’s still more Christmas stuff mixed in, plus a couple of New Year’s stories as well. 

In keeping with the theme of abundance, my contribution this week is continuations of not one but two stories, both Patreoncommissioned“The Collection,” the one with the fake uncle shrinking people in a spooky house, and a game-changing chapter of “Casey’s Mancock”. Hope you find something to enjoy!

I just want to say it’s been an amazing year and an amazing quarter-century, and I am truly grateful to be a part of this stellar community of writers and readers. Metabods is the best thing in my life, and I lead a pretty good existence as it is. It’s all down to you guys. Thank you, all of you, and here’s to twenty-five more!

The Friday Flashback this week was the 2022 year-in-review round-up; check that out if you missed it. The next update is a week hence, on 7 January. In the meantime, thanks for visiting, and enjoy the site!

Friday Flashback: 2022 Year in Review

This year’s top-stories lists are set up pretty much the way they were last year: the top stories by views and votes are first listed unfiltered; then only with stories updated in 2022; then just with BRK stories. As previously, the lists are weighted by diversity of IP addresses, so that stories that are getting attention from a wider range of visitors get more of a boost in the rankings.

The lists all boast a pleasing diversity of theme and tone, which is exactly right for the site. It’s also gratifying to note the mix of multi-chapter epics with shorter stories that contain their passion within a chapter or two. A lot of work and creativity goes into producing an erotic story for others to appreciate, whether it’s a thousand words or 50 thousand, and every story on these lists reflects that. Stories posted to Metabods got seen more this year than ever before: the total overall recorded story view count for 2022 was just shy of 6.0 million, up from 4.9 million in 2021 and 4.5 million in 2020.

As for my own stuff: for those wondering, it’s never been a surprise or a matter of chagrin to me that I don’t top the tallies on my own website. For one thing, as I’ve noted before, my views and votes are distributed across the scores of stories I post every year: the 96 chapters I wrote this year were distributed across 47 stories (compared with 106 chapters/49 stories in 2021 and 86 chapters/37 stories in 2020). More to the point, Metabods exists to share all sorts “alternative gay erotica” (as I’ve taken to calling it) from as many writers as possible, not just me. Even so, I have six entries in the top views and seven in the top views for stories updated in 2022, a change from the last two years when I only had three stories in the top views list. The one-off Vignette Party tales account for a lot of the BRK story count; leaving those aside I mostly continued ongoing stories this year, which might partially explain my boosted presence on the views list. Four recurring stories accounted for 32 of the chapters I posted in 2022.

Beyond that, I recommend perusing the lists for stories you may not have looked at before. Thank you so much to all my contributors, and for all of you who visited the site in 2022 and beyond. I am beyond grateful to all of you.

The next update is tomorrow, 31 December. In the meantime have fun exploring the archives, and thanks for visiting the site.

Weekly Update: 24 December 2022

I asked, and I received. It’s wall-to-wall holiday stories this week, ranging from short reads to multi-chapter yuletide adventures. Somewhere in-between is my contribution, a 9,000-word romp entitled “The Rent Boy who Saved Christmas.” I hope you enjoy it. Please make sure to check out all the stories below, and star-upvote and comment on the ones you like to help others find what they’re looking for.

The Friday Flashback this week collected stories about sexy Santas; check that out if you missed it. I’m deeply grateful to all of my loyal and supportive Patreonites, without whom I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. 

The next update is a week hence, on 31 December—the last update of Metabods Year 25! This will come after the usual year-in-review lists on Friday.  Maybe I’ll do a two-and-a-half-decades-in-review list or two as well, if I can wangle the right data to crunch. In the meantime, thanks for visiting, and enjoy the site!
