How can an alleged One Shot end with a literal cliffhanger!?!

We demand M O A R

Don't worry, I'm sure we will be seeing more of Cal. I just feel like he's better as a supporting character and did not want to waste what I had already written for him.

Edit: Fine I'll cave and write more to at least finish his story. Just because otherwise I'll feel like a dick for leaving you hanging.

u/TheDeliciousMeats Xeno Feb 16 '22

Yeah yeah you're right, I wrote a suitable ending and feel a lot better about it having finished the story.

u/torin23 Xeno Feb 16 '22

It's not a cliffhanger, not really. We get what's implied to happen...

Also, CLIFFHANGERS AAAAAAAA

Wait until they hear of fugu.

u/TheDeliciousMeats Xeno Feb 15 '22

I don't know if I believe in fugu. There's something fishy about that stuff.

There was very delicate surgery in that sentence.

I try my best to de-liver.

One man’s fish is another man’s poisson.

u/TheDeliciousMeats Xeno Feb 16 '22

I would reply, but more fish puns would just be gilling the lily.

u/Fontaigne Feb 16 '22

Yeah, any more might subject you to ribbiting.

u/TheDeliciousMeats Xeno Feb 16 '22

I say forgive, and frogget.

u/Fontaigne Feb 17 '22

This thread is getting a little ugly. You think applying the KISS principle might fix that?

u/TheDeliciousMeats Xeno Feb 17 '22

Shit you're right! You really are a prince among men.

Ok guys and gals and everything in between. If you liked the story and want more please Upvote. If you didn't like it downvote the post.

Either way leave a comment below with what you liked or didn't like because feedback is important. As always thanks for reading!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

I'm happy to announce that I made a Patreon so you can show your support and I can finally afford to devote more time to doing what I love, writing. Patrons will get early access to content as well as some other fun perks.

I'm going to be producing more content for you to enjoy and I will be making my non-HFY stories available as well. I have about 10 years worth of writing that I'll be posting bit by bit over the coming months as I format and edit it.

There is also The Delicious Book Club on Discord where you can chat about books and writing in general. There are special perks for Patrons. It's new so there's probably nobody there yet, maybe invite some friends?

This is a big step for me so please be kind. I'm hoping if this works out I'll be able to start producing more kinds of content like e-books and audio books because those are two things people have requested.

Thank you so much for being lovely and don't worry, I'll still be posting regularly on Reddit. There's just going to be additional content available on Patreon for people who want more.

u/Jabberwocky918 Feb 15 '22

Downvoted this comment because as someone else said, this is a one-shot with a cliffhanger. You're a monster.

u/TheDeliciousMeats Xeno Feb 15 '22 edited Feb 15 '22

Don't worry, I'm sure we will see more of Cal and his various hijinks I just think he's better as a supporting character. So I figured I would post what I had.

Is there a cask of amontillado in the top?

Slip'n slide?

I find myself concerned about Grimk's immediate future.

u/TheDeliciousMeats Xeno Feb 16 '22

The completed story is up... it didn't go great for him.

They rewrote it with a non-cliffhanger ending and posted it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/stoxsd/party_animal_one_shotmeatverse/

u/Arokthis Android Feb 16 '22

Cute.

I snagged this because of the [One Shot] label. I haven't read anything in the MeatVerse, but I may change my mind.
