... I literally have no idea how I was able to get back into this account, but...holy shit. I am both terrified at myself and impressed.

Yup. Probably gonna remake this account; out with the old, in with the new, I suppose. Maybe something new might make me feel better.
          
          If y'all want some of the ones I unpublished back up bad enough, I might put it back...but y'all will know which I leave for myself.

...Seriously thinking about deleting this account, or at most, taking down the stories here and remaking it. Idk why. Kinda depressed and museless at the moment, and I'm thinking something new might help...

@AMaskofManyShades idk I just want hot men fictional men

...Is there SERIOUSLY anything new that y'all wanna see? Like fandom-wise or anything that you might wanna read from me? :/ I'm open to new fandoms, and at the same time, I'm looking through old ones for something worth inspiration.

Unpublishing "The Curse of Lazarus" to rewrite it and update it somewhat. During this time, it will be taken down, but chapters will be posted gradually.

Part 3 of The Temptation of Vice is now out! I have a certain order of how I wanna do things, and hopefully it works out. UwU I originally (as y'all have seen time and time again) wanted to do whole novel pieces for the Conduits...but could never do it. This actually gives me more room to write their lore without just dumping it all at once.
          
          Hopefully, I can stick to it easier than before...

To some of those saying 'Yaayyy, one of the few writers who doesn't do pure smut', here's my two cents of the matter —
          
          It's not that I'm objectively against smut. I actually enjoy it, if you can believe it or not! I do write it! Just not... constantly? Now, in no way, am I saying that makes me better because I am most certainly not. Not in the least. It's just that i don't overuse smut. I use it as it's intended. A plot device. Something that can be used to make the writing and your experience in reading more enjoyable.
          
          That and when I write smut, I have to be in juuuust the right mood for it when I do it or I don't wanna. You know what I mean? Not horny, but just...a very specific type of mood. When I write it, it's very much an indulgence. A treat, if you would.
          
          Soooooo, yeah. I don't do smut super often due to the above reasons. Doesn't mean that I ever will write it, but it's just not something I write a lot of.
          
          When I was in the WH fandom, though, I'd like to stress that it was actually one of the few fandoms that at the time when it was a rule—i was perfectly fine with the whole 'No NSFW' rule Clown had out when they first made it, because of how I am with writing smut in general. So I was actually fine with the thing against NSFW, and even when the #playfellowxxx became a thing, I still didn't dive into it like some fans did.
          
          I'm...no longer apart of the fandom, as you can tell. I left back in January or February, I think, of 2024 due to lack of muse and just watching the slow downward spiral of the fandom with all the drama it had going on and how it was starting to get.
          
          Oops. Sorry for all the rambling. ^^; Anyway, y'all have a wonderful day. Still gonna keep both volumes of The Medusa Effect up because goddamnit, I'm still proud of those and I'll be damned if I'm gonna redact that shit. Just as a reminder, I have discontinued both and they are no longer being updated on.

Seeing some of my WH stuff makes me so sad, what with how downhill the fandom seems to be going...like seeing the views and comments still makes me smile, but at the same time, the fandom and the state it's in never ceases to give me a depressive slap in the face...

I might use this as an alternative place to post, on top of Tumblr. I might not use it as often, but I want to get some use of it at least.
