Hey all! As I work at the pace of an ancient continent breaking apart and becoming several separate continents, and considering that Wattpad has recently removed private messaging, I've decided to make a little Discord server! This is mostly so that we can chat about my story (the gay merman one and any future stuff I will work on), but there is also a general chat, a writing chat for anyone who is also a writer, and a reading channel for anyone who wants to talk about what they're currently reading.
I'm not expecting it to be very populated or busy, however I hope to expand it as needed, and I will also occasionally post updates as I work on chapters! You can join at the link below, which is only active for 7 days. If you'd like to join the server after 7 days, just let me know and I will issue a new link :) I'll also plug this whenever I post my next chapter.

New chapter posted, very short one, I hate it so much. I know I say that about every chapter but I mean it this time. It's something we all have to just deal with. Read it anyway for a stellar book recommendation at the end, I promise it's a good book.

Just throwing this out there, if anyone uses Goodreads to track reading progress, book ratings, etc, I have been reading a lot this year and I read a lot of LGBT fantasy/sci-fi if anyone is looking for recommendations! Give me a follow and a shout so I can follow you back :)
Currently about to get stuck in to a contemporary gay vampire story with lots of drama, by the sounds of it, you can see me comment my thoughts in real time

Cipher do you plan on making a story for the Watty's?
Ciphertext
@Spurs-fan-Angeli Definitely not haha. I don't do competitions or deadlines or anything like that because I cannot be disciplined enough for deadlines and I'm also a sore loser LMAO. And the Watty's don't really interest me. I think the last time I entered was probably back in like 2011 when I was still new to the site and it was pretty much a popularity contest more than anything. Not for me haha

New chapter at last! I am a flaky writer, but eventually stuff is produced. Go read, leave comments, vote, etc. This chapter is the exact opposite of a lot of fun but there's still an enjoyable moment if you like to see bad people get kicked in the face

Hello again all, I'm so sorry cause I'm not getting notifications on the app at the moment, and also things just keep going from bad to worse RIP. After/during all my car drama, my mum got really sick and had to be hospitalised for a while there, it was looking really scary for a bit. Thankfully she's OK now, but literally every week a New Bad Thing is happening istg I caught that AO3 fic writers curse somehow even though I've not written a fanfic of anything for years :[
Still dealing with a few less than ideal stresses but things are looking to be calming down next month, maybe then I'll actually have the mental capacity to write something!
ohtobefictional
@ Ciphertext oehh sounds rough, hope things calm down a bit! And the notifications are just terrific. I just got this one and this was posted like four days ago, like whattt. Anyways we'll wait! Take your time<33
Spurs-fan-Angeli
@Ciphertext The AO3 writer's curse is everywhere. Stay safe, and you can take as long as you need to, we can wait.

My stress levels cannot be matched right now. A couple of Wednesdays ago during my morning commute to work, my car's steering jammed on the motorway/highway, which was just about the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced in a car. Anyway, I managed to safely stop and flag down help, survived, got the car to a mechanic who "fixed" it. Then exactly one week later the same thing happened in the exact same place it happened the week before. I had planned to get so much stuff done but the brush with death and the sheer monetary cost of all this continues to wig me out, so once again, I am putting forth my excuse for why the next chapter will be coming in no less than 8 years :)
Your reads mean a lot to me <3
ohtobefictional
@ Ciphertext ooh I hope your feeling a bit better now. That's such a scary experience glad you're okay though!!
Spurs-fan-Angeli
@Ciphertext I can't drive, but got into a similar experience with my family. Car battery died on the highway. It's scary when that stuff happens, that's way more than enough of n excuse

I've plugged this story before, but I'm doing it again because after many years my good bestie Robo has been convinced to start posting on Wattpad. The current WIP is a humorous BL isekai which I know for a fact is right up some of y'alls streets. Go read it, support it, enjoy the silliness, and don't forget to follow :)

this message may be offensive
Me 9 hours ago: I cannot write this next chapter properly, there's just too much wrong
Me now: fuck it, we ball
That's code for "there is a new chapter, please do go read it"
Ciphertext
@ohtobefictional It's actually an old cover that I threw some new text on! Back when I was living with my family and didn't have bills to pay I was commissioning art literally every month or so and now I have lots I can use if I feel like a change :D Glad you like it <3
