I am a master of File Titles

So I write each individual chapter in its own word doc and then also save them to a master file separately. The file titles, however, are not always pertaining to the content of the chapter. They can be… entertaining. In this post, just for funsies, I’m sharing the file titles and then in parenthesis next to them the actual chapter title for comparison! (This is specifically for Returning Home, in this case.)

Fallout: Returning Home A/N (Ch 42-43)

So what happens when you write half a chapter and then come back to finish it 7 years later, is that you find you have new and different ideas. In some cases, it just means you have ideas at all, where you didn’t before.

This is what happened with this chapter. I was very, very stressed about what to do to introduce all the members of the household to Calista. I knew Petrus and Europa would be first - the slaves would be up earlier than the rest of the house to ready the family for the day. Ajax had already met her the night before, so that was one more slotted into place. But then who? Lavinia? Janus? Lexarius? Spes? Corvus?

It was absolutely a daunting task. I didn’t want them all coming down the stairs like the Brady Bunch to find and meet a new person. But one by one didn’t seem like a good read either. I originally wrote what I had of it simply because it was willing to be written, at least up to that point - I was actually working on this somewhere between the posting of chapters 15 and 16 (so right around this time in 2015, actually). There were a lot of snippets I wrote “ahead” like that, simply because if I wrote those it meant I was writing SOMETHING instead of staring blankly at parts that refused to be written.

So along comes me a few days ago wanting to get this going again, and I thought. Hm. There’s a good chance Lavinia gets up before her boys do. That means she would meet Cal first. Lavinia gets violent when she’s jealous. We need to take our time introducing her, Vulpes has to talk her out of the gun safe first, so to speak. How do we get Cal out of the house for a bit?

Why would Corvus, an adult, still be living at home with his adoptive Uncle? Let’s move him out. But if we move him out, there’s no valid excuse for Vulpes to keep Spes around anymore either. Let’s move them both out, into a separate home. And then have Cal start her day there.

It ain’t rocket surgery, but it sure as hell felt like it.

This also gave me significantly more opportunities to have Cal and Spes interacting, another place Cal can spend some of her time at Fort City, and much easier ways to get her and Corvus the ability to have private conversations. Win, win, win.

The only thing it sacrifices is the scene where Vulpes explains Calista to Lavinia. We get to see its aftermath at the end of chapter 43. Unfortunately it means a lot less show and a lot more tell about how precisely “buckets o’ crazy” Lavinia really is, but I think there’s already so much going on in these chapters that adding that heavy action there would make it just overpowering.

I might still write this scene and post it in Stories for the Road. We shall see.

There are a few things that happened in the writing of these chapters that I am immensely proud of.

The biggest one, I would say, is the editing I did to the scene where Europa is meeting Calista for the first time. Initially I had Europa and Vulpes being much more familial in their interaction. Almost like a grandmother in the scene. That was how it had been written in 2015. But Europa is only a handful of years older than Vulpes himself, and is still his slave.

Now, I am writing it that he is far kinder to his slaves now than he used to be - but we have to remember that this is still the woman that before (and occasionally even while) Vulpes had Sylva he would bend over his desk or bed and take his frustrations out on. I remember one scene in particular where he’s sitting at his desk and she is on the floor, leaning against his leg with her head on his lap like a dog. He’s absolutely raped her before, he’s likely beaten her as well, and before all of that she belonged to the previous head of the Frumentarii - a man I’ve called Cerberus. And that’s the man that cut out Petrus’ tongue to keep him quiet. So it’s not exactly likely he was particularly nice to her either.

I’m trying to keep her in a balance of still having that ‘snap to it’ response without being fully afraid of Vulpes now. He has both Lavinia and Spes to sleep with, and she does what she’s told well enough that he has had no reason to want to punish her in many many years. But that does not erase the trauma she’s dealt with. So a good bit of editing made their interaction much closer to that of employer/employee than anything else. This is the dynamic I would like to maintain for Vulpes and his slaves from here on out. Maybe not anyone else’s slaves, if we see them, but definitely with his own.

He has also, to put it bluntly, run out of energy and interest in abusing them. He’s never been particularly cruel to Petrus. He’s had no reason to be. Europa though… has seen some shit.

In that editing I said to myself “I want him to be a changed man, not a different man.” And honestly being able to tell the difference is something that came from a lot of personal growth (and trauma) I’ve had in the last year or two. I’m glad it paid off somehow? If nothing else, it helped this scene a lot.

Another thing that took a lot of work was finding the lost voice of Corvus. I’ve got two scenes written that Corvus is in with Calista (for future chapters, again old writing from 2015). And I’ve written scenes with discussion of him and his behaviour as well. So I needed to make sure that when I wrote him in chapter 43 I didn’t upend all the work I’d done to build his character already. It took a good couple of hours to find all the scenes I needed to reference and then read them, but I’m pretty convinced I’ve done it.

Corvus is a character I am really fond of. He’s got that classic Inculta trait of family is everything, but also the issue that the Brothers don’t want this orphan in their family to begin with. It’s going to be a good bonding point for him and Cal - the simple fact that they’re Incultas that certain members of the Inculta family want nothing to do with. For a family so focused on family, they sure do have a lot of drama.

In going through and writing these new chapters I’m also trying to keep up with the other parts of the series. I’ve begun adding more to A Lake of Ashes (which actually has another 20 chapters, and is technically complete, but will need to be edited as the plots get modified along the way), and will only add chapters to it as the related material in RH is posted. They will stand side-by side until the end of RH.

I will also continue to post in the V6 Files, and try not to go past what’s current in RH either until V6 runs out of content. From here on out V6 will be far less smutty and far more plotty. One important thing to note however is that with V6 I am placing the chapters in chronological order by timeline, but that does not in any way mean I am writing them that way. Right now anything I write for it will get slotted in to wherever it should be in the timeline, so “new” chapters might not be the most recent one chronologically. In this case, I will update the chapter summary of the 'last’ chapter in the list to say what chapter to go to to read the new content, since I don’t think it will update correctly to show you that chapter automatically.

I will also likely be adding more Ghoul stories as we go (to Don’t Go Gentle into that Good Night).

Blessedly, at least Memoriae is a completed work. I do not plan to revisit it with the possible exception of maybe doing some editing at some point, but that is very low priority at the moment.

So all in all, we are making progress again for the moment. This story comes to me in fits and bursts, even though I have a massive outline/timeline to work from and know how the story ends. It’s the getting there that keeps changing. Only yesterday I had an idea that seriously changed how certain things will happen to reach the end of the story that made them make far more sense. So hopefully the time this is taking will be worth it!

There are so many asks for me to answer, please forgive me for my slowness. I’m working most of my days and my free time usually goes to taking care of my health and family, which has been difficult this past year with the changes that have gone through my life. 

I think of my readers everyday and send love to all of you guys, whether or not you decide to move on from this blog due to lack of activity. The support I’ve received here is immense. I can’t thank you all enough. To the readers who silently read my work to those who send me asks and messages (about my stories or my wellbeing), to those who reblog with reviews that make my eyes tear, I pray that the world will give you twice the love that you’ve given me and my writing. 

I don’t have the heart to let go of this blog yet because I am adamant on finishing at least OY one of these days and some other short stories as well. I am quiet for the time being but I hope to be back. Realistically, I don’t have the same free time I used to have in college. I will figure something out soon.

Author’s notes mayhaps, idk

Hehey it’s ya boi uh skinny penis is back. Been weeks… But uh hey sorry for not posting more quotes or whateves. Tbh *looks at my notifications* I don’t think I need to. Sorry for not finishing the requests either-

I gotta say lately I’ve been drifting away from DMC fandom. One of the reason obviously hatta do with the Spardacest. I’m really sick of those. Go to hell, y'all sick af. Faq to y'all who said it doesn’t affects IRL. Fckin use ur brain it actually does. Yet u say we’re immature.

Second, is dat I’m over it. I got other interests now so- The only thing that is keeping me alive with the fandom is my DMC OCs. I love what I created with the canon and all. It’s really an amazing work to do, especially with friends. I do still talk bout the game sometimes but I’m putting the fandom’s in my “mutual fandoms” list.

I, unfortunately, will take down the request notes and everything. Turns out the whole HC writing thing isn’t for me or I may not be ready idk. I sorta regret doing it in the first place but I had fun writing few stuff. I’ll make sure to finish and post the requests that I’ve got before but no promises.

At first this blog was just a random blog or an excuse to make an acc to read or reblog stuff here (I suppose dats what we all do too). Then turning it to a DMC related blog was just a fun hobby. I appreciate the support and ppl enjoying it so TYSM. I may or may not be posting again or reblog other stuff here so bare with me. From the start I only came here to read. I’m too lazy to make a new acc.

Also I came back here for Squid Game content tbh. This place have lotta surprises anyway. What, u haven’t watch Squid Game? Then get tf on to it ya ding dong!

Hey y-y'all

How is everyone? I hope you had a nice Christmas and Happy New Year for those who celebrate it, hope everyone is is happy and safe for everyone else.

I’m 15 days late, but for sake of getting over this writer’s block (have like 4 fics that are 75% completed and I can’t back in the loop of it),

Requests are open, but I will no longer try and force myself to write every requests. If I don’t think I will ever feel like writing a certain request, I will let you know, apologies in advance.

Feel free to send requests via my inbox only.

My To-do list will be updated soon, so you will able to know which requests I’m keeping for the time being, and those I will be taking off the list.

Thank you for your patiences, really sorry for leaving you all waiting for so long!

I’m back! … kind of. I’m on my break now so I have time to do a little bit of writing. and yes, I have started two new books behind the scenes, but I will not be publishing them until they are completed, or when existing series are allfinished. 

Hopefully I can get one request written up by the end of the week, and I will soon get to other requests that have been laying for a distrubingly long amout of time on my list. I’m so sorry requesters for taking so long to get back to it, and thank you so much for being patient with me. 

I will also make a post soon about rejected requests (those that have been sent after it was annonced that they are closed), so that the people in question can ask another writer, or keep it tucked away for when requests open again. 

Speaking of which, once they open again, I will set a limit for the amount I accept, and depending on the inspiration I have for them, I will either finish writing them all up before opening requests again, or open them even if there are a couple still to be done.

I have also watched a few more animes, TV shows and Kpop groups, so expect an extending fandom list soon.

Thank you everyone for still sticking around, feel free to send an ask to my inbox so we can chat or if you are curious about any upcoming stories (note inbox and not private messages in case others want to know about something as well). 

Sorry again for taking so long to get back into this, my mental health needs a ton of recovering and writing is really helpful in that aspect.

Thank you as well to my mutuals, I see your lovely messages and I’m so sorry I haven’t had the energy to reach out, I will do so soon. 

That is all from me, hope you guys are staying safe and see you soon!

hey guys! here’s just a little update for all of you. I know I’ve been really slow with updating compared to earlier in the summer but I’m working hard to make everything I write as great as I can for y’all.  

current things I’m working on:

- mine (pt. 4)

- I also have plenty of other one shots that I might be starting because I literally have like twenty different ideas where I already have the plots figured out. I’ve been holding off on writing those to work on both my series which I know many of you love! but I just thought I would let you know and if anyone wants an idea of some of the oneshots or au’s I have coming in the future, you can ask as many questions as you want! :) 

last note is that I am starting school tomorrow and I don’t know how everything is going to be with this whole pandemic situation. It can change everyday but as of right now I will be going back to school. I will still plan to write as much as I can and post but it might slow down from time to time as I do have a lot of hard classes this year, but I am going to post as much as I can because I do love writing and I like writing stuff for you guys. anyways, see you soon. thanks! :)

-ashley (lostgirl0020)

{Made me into a piece of shit to bear with, too. And I don’t appreciate enough the people who helped me get through this. I’m so sorry and I love you guys, even if I’m shitty at showing it.}

{Anyway… Yeah I guess I’ve been up to things! But I don’t wanna leave this place empty, so I’ll do my best to shake myself a bit and draw for here when I catch some free time. Thank you so much for being patient with me! <3 I hope you’ve been well!}

I’m still here! I promise I’ll be back very soon with more chapters to my stories. Missing you all and can’t wait to post again

The Author Notes series is a long running segment on my Patreon that covers my personal thoughts on my published stories, including writing tricks I used for certain scenes as well as how and why I set up my stories in a certain way.

Going forward I will be publishing Author notes that are at least one year old to the public.

I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes format of this post while I continue to work on the next story.

Link to the story in question

I decided to tackle this story, a week before I was planning on writing it, in part because I was obligated to deliver to all the amazing Avid Readers who partook in the voting poll but the other part was because I was feeling a bit tired writing about the Spray on Suit saga for a solid month. I wanted a change of pace and more importantly to knock this Poll Suggested story out first before I felt burned out on writing.

As many other times, this story starts out in the handler’s house as the sub does house chores in that maid outfit, opening with the handler deciding that it was time for both of them to go for an outing.

The maid outfit was something I threw in my first story on a whim for a bit of additional bit of writing spice as well as showing an additional level of control in the power dynamic. Now, like my choice of writing in the second person,  I guess that maid outfit has become a staple in most ongoing short stories.

With this story I wanted to  try something that wasn’t so gear focus while still having that classic power dynamic in place. That was is why I had the handler go off and pick out the clothes for the sub to wear.

With the undressing and dressing I decided to let the handler remove the chastity cage from the usually locked sub, causing a bit of extra tension and pressure for the sub to ‘control’ himself while having the additional senses of an erection pressed up against his blue jeans. To continue the plan of a power dynamic occurring without any of the traditional gear or items, which is why the lock came off and why I chose the underpants and T-shirt for the main focus on this story.

I will be 100 percent honest with all of you, the pink satin panties were something I threw in on a whim.

It was something added to the story when I was moving from notes to typing the rough draft. I knew that I was going to spend a dedicated amount of time describing the feeling of yourself against the underpants fabric, so in that moment I thought, ‘why not make them more fun and interesting than just plain white undies?’

The color pink and the material of the panties were just another detail. Like the later installment of the Mall Trip stories,  I do like playing around the idea of concealing a risque thing under normal appearances.

While I don’t own a pair of those underpants, I do -like most people- have a pair of favorite underpants that i like to wear, so i took a few sentences dedicated to going into full exotic mode about the feel and sensation of the clothes on the sub and Voila! I just added a bit of cross-dressing spice to the story for practically nothing.

After the small little reverse strip tease we finally are able to get to the main object of this story the T-shirt with a naughty sex logo.

For the record, the “very popular exotic sex toy store” was suppose to be Bad Dragon. A friend of mine showed me that they had branded T-shirts and bumper stickers of just the logo and I realized that someone must have a ton of courage to ever slap a Bad Dragon bumper sticker on your car.

That was where the idea of the graphic T-shirt came from I wanted something that is only recognized and identified by someone within that particular group, like a insignia of a sports team or a comic book team. I don’t like to use copyrighted stuff in my stories, so I left the actual T-shirt logo vague and let the reader’s imagination fill in the blank.

With that item introduced I used it as a tool to build up the main suspense of the story with the sub being unsure who could be secretly kinky enough to pick up on the T-shirt’s logo while they were out in the public.

You might have noticed that I tend to use coffee shops a lot for my public outing stories, like from here and in the Mall Trip posts and you would be right! I chose that location because it’s an open and public location, with a lot of foot traffic, where people can sit down and chat for as long as they want and leave at the drop of a hat, no need to wait for a check from a waiter.

After a detailed walk to the cafe from the car with a touch of the sub’s body acting on it’s own accord with the extra sway in the walk because of the panties, and dash of findomming when the two were ordering the drinks at the cashier, it was finally time to introduce the main reason why the handler chose this place with that outfit.

Now, If you were gambling on trying to get someone to notice something it would make sense that you would have that thing, that person or that item, to be up and about most of the time and if it can have it constantly moving or at least sitting in a spot with the most visibility, so that every unsuspecting person could get a glimpse of the thing, in this case a shirt, if they decided to look up.

That was my train of thought that led the handler to order the sub around to get sugar for his drink, asking for napkins so on and so forth. Each time I tried to up and ante on the sub’s own fear and anxiety of getting caught, constantly scanning the room looking at people seeing if they were looking at him, looking to see if they saw what was on the shirt, reading their faces to see if they recognized it.

That part was easily exaggerated from the times I had an embarrassing stain or tear on my clothes and I’m too far away from changing outfits anytime soon. You might have experienced this from the rush of potential embarrassment when you realized you had a fly down and frantically looking around the room to see if anyone else noticed it before you.

I chose that no one -initially- recognized the sub’s T-shirts because the story didn’t need it. The embarrassment and suspense came from the sub’s own paranoia from withing and that was all that was needed to build story. Like the real world, I wanted the Handler to not get what he wanted. It was supposed to be a gamble for the handler as well and not everyone can win all the time.

That doesn’t mean that a meaningful conclusion was off the table. After the Handler left the cafe, leaving the sub to clean up after him (in another subtle example of no gear power play) it was then when I wrote for one of the cafe patrons made the discovery and connection.

For the ‘getting recognized’ moment I based that almost entirely off of the ways we all acknowledge and communicate with each other from across a crowded room. The ‘I see what you got there’ nod that so many do when we find someone sporting a video game sticker on a laptop when you heard something truly outlandish during a work meeting.

Following that quiet head nod moment the sub dashed to the handler’s car by going back to the story’s main theme of subtly sharing a naughty secret between people within a public place.

Link to the story in question

“This entire thing was supposed to be just a short story…. With only three parts.”

That was the phrase I kept repeating over and over again as I kept cursing myself while I continued to keep writing more and more into this one installment.  Even at a whopping 7.5 pages there was still so much that I had to cut from this story to keep myself on schedule.

The story started out with the tub of polish after doing a full day of chores. I wanted to provide a sense of continuity between all these parts and show off the side effects of spending the entire day doing the choirs on the sub’s latex body.

While I don’t have any latex stuff of my own did used to own a pair of dishwasher gloves and a know what happens to socks when you wear them in even the cleanest the house all day, hence the depictions of scuffs, soap residue on the hands and dust and crumbs clinging to the feet.

I did have to call up a friend as a reference on gear care for the depiction of the pre-treatment and what are the steps to take like while polishing up. Which was why I mentioned going to the bathroom and the laying out of  towels on the ground.

For all the Patreon members here, I’ll let you in on a writing secret. The reason I was able to describe the polishing scene in such wonderful and intricate detail is because I just described the steps I take when washing my hands.

How Scandalous!

From cupping the soap into the palms then rubbing and lathering it the inside of the hands, then going on to the back of the hands then working between the fingers then down to the wrists, per the suggestion of the CDC. The rest of the polishing scene was just the steps of washing one’s own body in the shower with soap and a loofah. From hands to arms, chest, and torso then down the legs, it’s literally the same motions.

I did add the moment of the sub sticking his tongue out at his own reflection, to provide a change of pace from the polishing scene while highlighting what little power and control he had in expressing himself while in that suit.

When it came to the foot and toes moment, I’ll be honest I am not even a remote fan of that stuff. But it was incredibly easy to just add two paragraphs paying hyper focus attention on it for the enjoyment of someone out there on the internet. I can’t tell you how many times I have received so much praise for some small detail I added on a whim, something that cost me nothing except to spend a bit more and text time depicting it. Be careful though, because adding just one more little thing will soon turn into adding another then, then another and so and so forth until it balloons out of its initial scope and you’ll have a monstrosity of a story to work on.

Fun Fact: All of my suspense building scenarios throughout my stories can all be attributed to the famous H. P Lovecraft quote, “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” I love using the unknown and fear of the unknown in my stories to build suspense and anticipation because neither the sub nor the reader have a clue on what’s going to be thrown at them next.

The calm before the guest arrived is no exception. I just threw in another free bit of writing imitating how most people handle stress moments before they are called to perform in front of a stage, fidgeting with their hands or an item and drinking a bunch of water, and that scene was good to go.

With the guest entrance and getting that moment of them geared up I was gunning for the feeling of a locker room or backstage at a theater, a bunch of athletes or actors getting into their equipment and costume while amping each other up for the night’s big performance.

Oh boy, let me tell you it was difficult writing the entrance and following action scene without the ability for the sub to hear anything. Which is why I used the Notes and text messages earlier in the story, for this part I relied on all the non speaking ways people can ‘talk’ with each other.  Which is why there’s such a focus on body language, head nods and body gestures. It was also done to show how the dom and sub were on the same wavelength for the entire night.

As for cut content, beyond the basic boots and harness with high visibility I had two other outfits for the sub to go through as well. One was a very feminine pink tutu set to play off of the contrasting colors of black and pink, while the other had metal chains, bracers and a heavy metal collar with a focus on the weight of it all and how the metal clink and clangs over the sub’s body.

On top of that that there was also planned to have a scene where the group orders pizza and the sub would be forced to watch the delicious pizza being served and eaten when all he could drink was more of that chalky slim fast shake.  Both of those things were removed from the final product because to quote what I wrote in my notebook as I was at the writing stage of the story, “Fucking skip this shit”

But finally after the group action scene it was time for the handler to step up and reveal what was the big twist, the big reveal of where I wanted this story to go when I first drafted it back in July…. A handwritten note informing the sub that he’ll be forced to leave the house to get the solvent he wants while still being covered head to toe in latex.

I hope you enjoyed this insight behind writing of this installment. If you have any questions about anything I skipped or glossed over let me know, I’ll shed light on anything I missed

Thank you for the support

The Author Notes series is a long running segment on my Patreon that covers my personal thoughts on my published stories, including writing tricks I used for certain scenes as well as how and why I set up my stories in a certain way.

Going forward I will be publishing Author notes that are at least one year old to the public.

I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes format of this post while I continue to work on the next story.

Time for some Fun Facts!

Fun Fact #1: This entire ‘Spray on Suit’ series was only supposed to be only three parts. With the plan being to have an installment for the application of the spray on latex, another one depicting what a mundane day of a sub in latex would be as well as entertaining the guests that was teased at the end of this particular post and then the third part would be the secret finale that I had planned out from the get go.

But my attention to detail just kept adding to the story and my desire to constantly hit a weekly deadline forced me to break it up to (hopefully) only five parts.

Fun Fact #2: I have almost never participated in any of the things I have written about in my stories, from either the Handler or Reader’s side. Surprising I know! I get around this writing hurtle by thinking of any personal experiences I had that are similar to the things I was planning to write and then using that as a base for these kinky scenarios.

The first three paragraphs depicting the amnesic moments of confusion when waking up in a latex suit, I just drew upon the times I would wake up from a deep sleep when I stayed at a hotel room.

Where the bed and sheets were different than you were used to, how the temperature or atmosphere of the room might not have been quite right and how the background sounds of the hotel were not the ones I was used to in my regular bedroom. Then I added the description of the rubbing of latex on latex (because I had to remember that the sub’s ears were plugged) to sell that scene.

The two bottles by the bed was from me critically thinking of how a sub could eat and drink during this extended time with a ring gag attached. He couldn’t eat or chew normal food so the humane and realistic option to provide nutrition that wouldn’t cause someone to remove the ring gag was those Slim-fast/ Soylent meals in a shake product.

The bottles by the bed also serves my ever constant theme that the handler does provide aftercare to the sub, no matter how extreme the situation. Who says romance is dead?

For the depiction of latex when the sub stretches, while I never wore latex I have had my fair share of time wearing uncomfortably sized clothes, costumes and accessories. I just recalled how the clothes would pinch or pull taunt against me whenever I tried extending my body and there you go!

The whole scene of the handler inspecting your body I just remembered the time I had to be sized up for fitted clothes, how someone put me up on a stand and moved around my body with a tape measure and took my measurements. The process itself was just from critically thinking of the most logical next step if somebody wanted to do a full body inspection and started at the arm.

Someone would start at the arm, go to the fingers then back up the arm towards the shoulders, across the back to the other side then down to the legs. While paying special attention to the goods because this is a Naughty Story.

The handwritten notes was a narrative work around to how the handler could possibly give orders to the sub when he was almost completely deafened by the ear plugs wedged in his latex covered ears.

The chores were the easiest thing to write about, because the latex suit would not cause too many movement restrictions from doing any of those tasks. The dishes was the most fun to write about, since I just had to write about how it normally feels doing the dishes with those thick dish washing gloves and write about the feeling the water rushing over you when you weren’t actually getting wet. From there all that I needed to do was sprinkle in a description of the high color contrast of the yellow soapy sponge, the white plate and the jet black latex gloves and the scene was pretty much good to go.

The phone part was tough, trying to imagine how the touchscreen would work with the suit. Thankfully I have a friend who had a vast wardrobe of latex clothes who I was able to ring up and ask him how well latex works on smartphone touchscreens. I then sprinkled in a touch of frustration from not having the phone being as responsive with the latex and thus it produced a bit of extra story fluff with rummaging through the room for a touch stylus to finally get the text message from the handler and cause a cliffhanger for the next installment.

I hope I was able to describe a good enough in-depth look at how I wrote this particular post. If you have any more questions about anything I missed, send me a message I’ll gladly go over it with you.

And once again, thank you for the support.

Hello my darling Fang Babes! I FRICKIN’ MISS Y'ALL!

There is just something so frustrating about trying to wiggle out of a writer’s block. Right now I’m still in a funk! See, I WANT to write, but my brain does a dumb and suddenly I’m staring at a word doc for 2 hours. Like in Spongebob! Just staring at “The……” at the top of my doc…. Gah! C'MON BRAIN! WORK FOR MAMA! MOVE THE DUMB HANDS AND DO THE WRITE!

Hi my gorgeous fang babies!

Quick announcement, I am working on a massive NSFW post that should be done some time tomorrow night (hopefully). Trust me, this is gonna be so worth it! Thanks for all your patience, guys!
