Biweekly Update: Friday, 3 March 2017

I’ve had a bit of stress in my real-life storyline this week (lots of changes up in the air, most of them good), so I was determined to write something fun and frivolous. Thus the new chapter of “Mutation”, the hyperest of all BRK hypercock stories.

The dicks are getting pretty huge in most of the stories lined up for this week, and advancing “Mutation” seemed to fit the theme. And then, as if to confirm that this is National Hypercock Week, we got a new, long-awaited chapter for Ziel’s “Above Average”. That must mean it’s catching. You might want to remove any constricting clothes before you start, just in case.

Site features update: I've added a few more features to the story pages. First is a marquee rotating through the latest story updates. That also appears on the site’s index page. But what I’m really happy about is a “More like this” panel at the bottom of every story. The algorithm looks for popular stories with similar tags and authors, and hopefully this will help people find stories they might enjoy that they didn’t even know were on the site. Let me know how it works for you! It works better on stories with more tags, but it should give you some new choices no matter stories you’re browsing alongside what you get using the navigation routers and the keyword search function.

Size matters: Someone remarked to me recently on the size of the archive, and it occurred to me to check up where my stories stack up these days in relation to this big bag of dicks I’ve managed to amass here. Here’s the scoop. With today’s update, I am at 144 stories under the BRK byline—one Gross, if I may use the expression. So that’s 144 BRK stories in 294 chapters, with, my database queries tell me, an estimated total verbiage of roughly 764,000 words. That’s about the length Fellowship of the Ring plus War and Peace added onto the end, not that they compare in the slightest by any other conceivable metric. (No cheers. This was ridiculous.)

By comparison, the site as a whole has 1,107 stories in 3,235 chapters. The whole archive adds up to something like 9,390,000 words. So overall I’m making up about a twelfth of the whole site. Also, my chapter-to-story ratio is only 2:1, definitely well below average for the site—no surprise to my faithful readers. Just call me Brian “Chapter One” Kyle. I’m getting better, I swear.

When I think of the site, and I still generally do, as my own personal story page which just happens to have a bunch of other stories to keep my own stuff company, making up only a twelfth of the total mass seems slightly surprising … in that very mild way, like realizing your ceilings aren’t quite white after all, but more of an eggshell kind of deal. Huh, you say to yourself, that’s weird. But I also feel pretty good about both writing a lot a lot of smut and also curating a big collection of stories from muses cousin or brother to my own that is, at the end of the day, not quite like anything else out there.

Next update will be … wow, 17 March. Uh oh, theme alert! Will I need a “Saint Patrick’s Day” tag? You guys tell me! See you then, and heartfelt thanks for stopping by.
