    Hiya guys!

    Okay, so 90% of my stories are about my main character, Mai. But, I'm sure you'll agree, every now and then it's nice to try out something new. Sometimes I'll want to try a new play style, or re-run some early level quests and dungeons, or just walk around Skyrim looking slightly different!

    This, of course, brings us to:




    The Dreaded Alts!






    Most of the time I just create a new character (usually based on a Mai template) and run around for a couple of hours before returning to my main character wondering why I ever left! But sometimes, I'll like a new character enough to do a bit more - and I'll shoot a story or two with them.

    The first of these is with a character named Sara. I had fun playing as her, but ultimately her style drifted too close to Mai's (stealth/archery) and I eventually stopped levelling her. But not before this quick story. Hope you enjoy!

    Hiya guys!

    To celebrate putting all of my old Mai stories up on this blog - I went back and finished a story that I had abandoned some months ago. I had only completed the first four parts, and even though I was excited about the story itself Skyrim burnout took hold and I ended up shelving it.







    However, following the great feedback I got from this blog I decided to revisit it and complete the tale. This resulted in about 100 new screenshots in 6 new chapters! I really hope you guys enjoy it - and thanks again for all your support!

    Hiya guys,

    Hope everyone is doing well! Here is the next chapter of Mai's crazy adventures. Watch out for the inevitable nudity!








    It's a short little story that I remember having lots of fun making. I find the second part
    . Can't think why!

    Hey everyone!

    Finally we arrive at the last fully completed Mai story - detailing what happened when the Jarl of Whiterun decided to thank Mai for her service to the city! There's some pretty heated scenes in this one, so be extra careful! I don't want to be responsible for corrupting your innocent minds!






    So now this blog is pretty much bang up to date as far as finished Mai stories are concerned. I'd love to try and get back into Skyrim and start creating some new adventures for her - and also maybe finish off some older ones too. Let me know if you have any suggestions - and thanks once again for all your great support

    Hiya guys!

    So, continuing to gather my stories here on my blog, next up is the first 'proper' story involving my character, Mai. I wish it was easier and less time-consuming to set up and capture these kinds of tales - because I really enjoy fleshing out my character and giving her a personality, but I just don't have the patience to painstakingly place and pose multiple characters. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

    Nara's Return

    By hellonow,

    Hiya!

    I created my moody mage Nara to be almost the total opposite of my main character, Mai - at least in terms of abilities and personality (yes I'm aware they look similar!). I love playing as Mai, but it's also nice to try out a completely different play style AND not have to worry about being nice all the time!





    This story shines a light on Nara, although you could also argue that the Dawnguard (or at least Celann and Durak) are the real stars. It's also much more serious than my normal Mai-orientated stuff, and that was by design. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy!

    Hiya guys!

    Thanks so much for all the comments and support. I'm really glad that people are enjoying this blog. I started it just as a way to gather all my stuff in one place - and it's great that people are using it as a way of seeing these for the first time!





    Anyway, getting back to the stories, these next two are kind of a lead-in to a much bigger adventure. Mai's origin, and why she is always naked, will also eventually be a part of that. Also, these stories take place shortly after this adventure where Mai first met Celann. Hope you enjoy!

    Random Stories!

    By hellonow,

    Hiya!

    I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. I thought I'd quickly nip in and add some more of my old stories to this blog. Sometimes I find myself playing Skyrim and really enjoying the world, the characters, and just the overall feel of everything...





    ...and suddenly I really want to make up a silly Mai story. But not one of those multi-episode, 50+ screenshot tales that take 3 weeks to create! Nope, sometimes I just wanna throw something together quickly. Something like these:




    M'aiq the Jackass









    Mai Has A Way With Kids

    Hello!

    So, after a break in my regular broadcast (a focus on my alt character, Nara) we are now back to scheduled programming, with my main character Mai once again taking center stage.





    The following are couple more random stories, not necessarily following on from anything and pretty much standalone. I hope you guys enjoy, and thanks once more for all the support - love you!




    Hunting 101 with Mai

    Hiya!

    So after the continuing narrative of the last few posts, it's kinda nice to throw out some casual one-off tales. Yep - time for some more Random Stories tm starring my main character, Mai!






    These are just goofy (more than usual) shorts that may or may not be worth your time. Some previous examples can be found here. Let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas for future stories. I really wanna try and make time to do a few new ones. Hopefully it'll happen, but either way it'd be fun to throw ideas around. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

    Hiya guys!

    Life as a member of the Companions involves lots of bravery and dangerous contracts. However there can also be some boring downtime. Thankfully, the nightlife in Whiterun is famed throughout Skyrim!





    Mai is certainly no fan of noise and booze, but her best friend Ysolda definitely enjoys the occasional wild night on the town. However sometimes these can get a little too wild...

    Hi guys!

    So, where is the best possible place to stage a vampire hunt? How about an old abandoned mine? Nope. Maybe a dark creepy dungeon? Nah.






    It's gotta be in a bath-house, of course! This is the concluding part to the story which began here, and continued here. But it is also completely standalone if you'd rather not check those out. Hope you enjoy!

    Hiya guys!

    People often ask "why is Mai always naked?!" A fair question, as nobody else (that I can think of) walks around Skyrim in quite the same way as Mai. The answer ranges from the simple (cuz nudity is fun!), to the more complicated (Mai is a personification of the Loverslab 'Skyrim-but-naughtier' vibe).





    However, to try and address lore (or at least, my butchered version of Skyrim lore) I whipped up this kinda-sorta origin story. This picks up immediately after this story, for anyone looking for context! Hope you enjoy!




    The Tale of Mai


    Part 1










    Part 2

    Hiya!

    If you're reading this, thank you for clicking into my blog!



    I'm a (sometimes) contributor of silly screenshot stories to the wonderful Show your Skyrim Counterpart thread here on Loverslab. People often send me messages asking if there is somewhere that they might find all my stories in one place - and the answer has always been "nope". So I've decided to give this blog thingy a go and try to gather all (or some, at least!) of the stories that I've posted over the last year or so.

    My stories usually center around my actual in-game main character, who is a stealthy archer type named Mai. She's a friendly, happy-go-lucky kinda girl - however her unusual dress code tends to get her into all sorts of trouble.
    These stories are by no means high art, and more often that not I aim for silly as opposed to dramatic. They are simply my way of breathing life into my Skyrim counterpart. Also, Mai is usually completely naked, so keep that in mind too if nudity is something that you simply cannot deal with!


    I'm gonna start at the beginning, and looking at these for the first time since I originally posted them I'm struck by how crappy the lighting and framing is! Oh well. As I go along I try to increase the production values, and many of the stories have a continuing narrative or theme running them. But hey, I guess I had to start somewhere!



    1) Mai meets the hotspring hunters...










    2) Mai joins the Companions...










    3) Mai's small misunderstanding...
