I realised I should probably get around to updating this site, for the sake of completeness.
The current home of my writing is AllTheseRoadworks.com - and you can directly buy e-books there, as well as Patreon-style memberships.
Hope to see you all there.
I'm also still live on BDSMLR - alltheseroadworks.bdsmlr.com

Tumblr Is Officially Dead
Just an update. The All These Roadworks Tumblr is officially dead. The unique page for it is no longer viewable and Tumblr has deleted most or all image posts. You may still be able to see text-only posts in your feed if you're already a follower, but not otherwise. There does not appear to be any way to set the account back to SFW and visible, nor do I really want to.
What all that means is there will be no further posts to that account. I'm not officially deleting just yet in case I have some use for the content that still remains. Also I believe followers can still message me there using chat, if they need to.
But as repeatedly stated, the new home for the content is
http://alltheseroadworks.bdsmlr.com
The site's imperfect, it's giving me issues posting, but it's basically functional, and I simply don't have time over Xmas to shop around for alternatives. Content will still sporadically migrate to that platform and I'll re-evaluate in January.
If BDSMLR drops dead or any other emergency occurs, updates about where to find my content will continue to appear on this Blogger account.
Thank you to all my readers - you all rock.

Patreon launch
All right, everyone. I have launched a Patreon, which you can find at
the link immediately below. If you love my stories, and want to express
that with a small amount of money, please click through and pledge.
https://www.patreon.com/alltheseroadworks
What is Patreon?If you somehow haven’t heard of it, Patreon is a way for communities to support creators. You sign up to have an account, and pledge an amount of money monthly as a way of saying, “I like what you’re doing, please keep doing it.” Patreon gets a small cut, and I get the rest.
Why have I launched a Patreon?For a couple of reasons. One, because a lot of you seem to really like my stories and want to support me, and here’s a great way to let you do that. Two, because the Tumblr-pocalypse means that I’m about to lose a lot of followers. Patreon offers a way both to keep some of the most passionate community together, and to let those who are passionate AND have disposable income motivate me through a period that involves more work but a smaller audience.
Do I need the money?Not really. My regular paying job doesn’t pay as much over the holidays but I’m not in financial stress. On the other hand, writing a story a day is honestly a fairly big commitment for something that doesn’t pay, and it’s a lot easier to justify out of my schedule when the time is paid. Plus the migration off Tumblr has meant a HUGE spike of work - still unpaid - and that’s actually taken a little time out of my paid work to arrange.
Does this mean fans need to pay to see my stories?Absolutely not. I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing - writing sexy fucked-up stories - and making them freely available to fans, via the new location at alltheseroadworks.bdsmlr.com. You can go on doing what you do without paying a cent extra. BUT if you’ve got a bit of extra cash, if you’re well-paid, and if you love what I do, you can now express that and know that you’re supporting free kink for all those who aren’t as well off.
What will I use the money for?I’m not honestly expecting to rake in a huge monthly take off this, so if I get enough per month to pay for a couple of hours of my time that would be great. That lets me justify the time I spend writing as paid time, and gives me incentive to schedule and track it as work. In the unlikely event that Patreon makes me a *lot* more money - enough to pay for *days* of work - then we’ll talk at that point about how I spend those days. Ebook releases? Audiobooks? Just a whole ton more writing? There are lots of possibilities.
How much does it cost?I’ve set the minimum tier at $5 a month, but I’m open to discussion about that. You can get in on the ground floor at that level, or you can go as far above that as you want. Please pledge responsibly! HIgher tiers have a couple of perks - name a character in a story; get a document version of my stories Titcage and The Lesbian Debt - but I’m still working this out and seeing what the interest actually is. I may change things around. If I *do* change things, obviously it will be in a way where no one who has already pledged ends up worse off.
How else can you support me?Reblog this post. Reblog my stories. Just keep sending me your appreciation. I’m making the effort to republish the stories, and start this Patron, entirely because of how strongly and often you’ve all expressed the enjoyment you get from what I write - please keep it up.
Final noteThe copy of this post on the All These Roadworks Tumblr MAY be the last post at that site. All new content is going to alltheseroadworks.bdsmlr.com. If you haven’t gone across there yet, please do - and please be patient. It’s a new site, they’re trying to scale up to deal with the huge traffic spike, and a lot of features are in active development and may be temporarily disabled. I’m very reassured by their level of communication and the speed of their improvement, so I think it’s worth all of our time. I hope to see you there.

New Info Will *NOT* Be On Tumblr!
Okay, heads up, Tumblr appears to be muting the NSFW blogs. That means new content I'm publishing there may NOT be visible to you - specifically, news about where else to find me.
You WILL need to check this site - alltheseroadworks.blogspot.com - for updates. I hope to have them on the BDSMLR as well.

Status Update December 6
Just keeping you all up to date.
The last story posts in the Tumblr queue will go live today, after which there will be no new story posts on Tumblr. The only new content there will be text posts about where I'm going / what I'm doing.
Fans have offered me a bunch of wonderful alternative options for hosting. However, testing a site involves creating and verifying an account, reading its content policies carefully, creating a profile and tweaking settings, uploading enough content to get a feel for what the site can and can't do, and often struggling with doing things "wrong" for a while before getting a post to look "right". That takes a surprisingly huge amount of time - possibly hours - and the reality is that in December my time was already mightily short.
So I've had to pick an option, and commit, knowing that it's imperfect - and I've picked BDSMLR.
It's a Tumblr-like site, and it's in rapid and ongoing development as we speak - the rate of change and improvement over the last few days is impressive. It aims to offer a near-identical service to Tumblr, but exclusively and specifically for porn and kink content. It doesn't offer everything that Tumblr did, and some features are highly buggy right now, but it does have community-building tools and a genuine and rapid plan to improve.
Please head on over to BDSMLR and follow me. You can find me there at alltheseroadworks.bdsmlr.com. How that link displays when you click through is fairly variable - you might get a page of my content, or you might just be sent to a login or dashboard. Please stick with it - it's getting there.
Is this the final destination of my content? I don't know, but it's the destination I'm committing to in evacuating from Tumblr, and I don't expect to invest anywhere else until at least January, so that's where you can find me for now.
As mentioned, I will be launching a Patreon, probably this weekend, and if any meaningful number of you respond to that it may open up some other options in terms of my content going forward.
In terms of the Tumblr account, I'm going to leave it open and see what Tumblr does to it come 16 December. They may deactivate the account entirely, in which case you can use the contact list below for me. If they don't, I'll likely finish purging any story content they haven't deleted, but leave it up for a while to stay in contact with followers over any further transitions.
List of places where you can find me:
* email: all.these.roadworks at gmail.com
* alltheseroadworks.blogspot.com - Just a news page about where I'm going
* alltheseroadworks.bdsmlr.com - The new content host
* www.sexstories.com - under the account "All These Roadworks" - hosts my old long stories. No new content is going there, but I may still respond to inbox messages.
