Vampers: Summer Trial

Afterword

Here we meet again in the second story of Vampers. I am the author, Takumi41, who enjoyed writing the story. Viki and her friends needed to potty-train so they wouldn't just depend on diapers. Viki also had plenty of experience in the Primal side of the world, so she needed to see Alter. There she makes a few new friends along the way.

Writing this has been rather enjoyable. Although it ended up being far shorter than Halloween Trial. Most of it stuck to the planning I had conducted, and there weren't many moments that went out of bounds like it had done for the Halloween Trial.

Mirabelle had been a character whose two chapters I'd keep thinking about before I even got to writing this story. I am glad to have finally put those chapters down after being in my head for so long. Which funny enough, I wrote both chapters in one whole sitting, and I suppose I was really feeling those chapters.

As it may seem apparent from the epilogue, Viki's journey is yet to complete. Now her next trial is going to be going to school. This will be a first for our diaper-enthusiast princess, who has always been homeschooled. Plus, this will be a school set in Alter, so it won't be your average school. There are plenty of surprises left for Viki that I have in mind.

In writing this story, I had completed college—not for writing. I was not a very good student, and I've got a much better work ethic than a school one. Though can you blame me? They taught so many different things that I barely remember 80%. It makes me wonder what an honor student would be like after they finish. Clearly, they put in the work for that, but do they remember everything? Something tells me they do not. Human minds tend to forget things we just do not use. Though I suppose I am very selective regarding things, I care about. If I don't care about it, I don't want to learn about it.

Anyways, I have also made a lot of progress in my digital drawing skills. As I finished writing this story, I felt more comfortable with my style of art. It is improving but not there for me to consider myself an expert yet. Given the number of projects I do, I've told myself that my goal is to be an expert rather than a professional.

I should say what the difference between the two is. An expert is what I would consider someone who knows what they are doing but still have more they could do. Like in terms of art, there is more detail they could learn how to apply. Whereas a professional or master clearly knows everything.

I feel that becoming a pro-level would take me even longer, and I'd like to use my skill sooner rather than later. So, I can at least create good-enough art, and even if it doesn't stand out from the crowd, that isn't the point. I can at least put artwork in my stories or a future game I develop.

There are some things that I must say for myself that I find odd even among this bizarre interest. Obviously, fawning over the idea of girls in diapers is not an average interest anyone would have. But I also dislike lewd things. It's honestly a weird combination. So, whenever I see naked girls, I cannot help but think to myself, can they put on some clothes! Yeah, I only like things ultra-innocent (which is probably why I am ultra-single...yay, wizard's life forever!). This is why I find my art style will likely not have diapers being directly seen. Some pieces I have done previously did that, but I've given up on doing that now. It just doesn't feel right for me to do. That is why I decided to make it more indirect.

Sorry that I went on a tangent there, but I have put a lot of thought into this concept.

That is about all that I can share for now. So, I hope you enjoyed the story I have written and continue to enjoy it! Hope you have the best days ever!
