I'll preface this by saying I'm sorry. I know the wait for requests has been long and this would probably sound even worse, but I just can't do them for free anymore. 
          	
          	I'm a lot busier now than I used to be and both money and time are tight, so I'm not able to....write as much as I used to while still being broke. 
          	
          	I get if you wouldn't want to pay for oneshots with your specific ideas, I'm no professional after all.
          	
          	Besides that, on a nicer note, after I'm Not A Caregiver is finished, the book after it will essentially be complete, so there should be no issues with posting that one (I personally find the main character so cute, so yea). 
          	
          	And, well, you know me by this point so....there's one after that one too, however, I haven't gotten that far with that one. I'm trying my best here. 
          	
          	Anyway, I apologize again for those free requests I've never been able to get to. I hope...you don't hate me too much.

@Riley2435 Aww thank you so much! I can't really imagine being in a bookstore, but if, by God's grace, that happens, then I'd be totally stoked!

Thank you so much. Your words mean a lot to me. I have thought about all of those things, considering my income right now is pretty small, but I just feel like people deserve to have at least something complete for free, you know? Especially for a genre like this. For oneshots, because they're personal and specific, I have to paywall that one (took a lot of debating in my head to do that), but for my stories, people definitely deserve comfort fics they can enjoy that are complete. Also, when other authors do early access, it drives me nuts beyond belief, and I'm no hypocrite.
          	  
          	  I don't plan on ever paywalling the first drafts of my fics. The fully revised and edited versions, sure, but definitely not the ones on this platform and future ones. Y'all matter too much for that.

Okay, so I didn't realize that my class names came directly from I'm a What? and I hate being a copycat so I'm changing the class names lol. (is this worth an announcement I'm not sure, but it's mostly just to make sure nobody's wondering why things are changing).
          
          Anyway yeah, I'm changing the names of Caregiving/Littles 101 and the one for naptime as well because we do UNIQUE in this corner of Wattpad!
          
          I'll definitely change them in I'm Not A Caregiver, but I might leave I'll Never Be Little the same, I'll have to see.
          
          (also, sorry FoxDagon, I didn't mean to copy anything, trust)

Crystal_Nightfall

@Beaniewrites101 I guess you could say that, but since I do plan on physically publishing my works at some point, it'd feel weird for any of the content inside to not be my own work, even if it's something as small as a course name.

@Crystal_Nightfall honestly even if it's a 'copy' or reference to I'm a what it keeps things a little consistent as if they're from the same universe

@Crystal_Nightfall I know that even after reading this announcement, I’ll probably come back in one of the chapters and wonder why the class names were changed anyway thanks for the heads-up

@Riley2435 I'm not exactly sure I have the time for that, unfortunately. I do apologize, but I suggest getting an extension like Grammarly that will check your grammar for you as you're writing.

Oh my goodness, I haven't opened Wattpad in so long, but now I have a lot of good things to read from you !!
          So excited to catch up on your books - you're one of my fav authors, for realll ^^

KuromiDiapers

@Crystal_Nightfall Breaks are definitely a good thing to prevent burnout. I usually hit a slump in updating around these times because of exams ;;
            
            Ahhh, two more books!?! Wow, I'm so excited!!! I admire you organization and consistency a lot - maybe even slightly envy it loll ^^ ughhh, and don't even get me started on you're writing style. Truly beautiful !

Crystal_Nightfall

@KuromiDiapers Oh my gosh really?? I'm honoured to have that time! :) 
            
            Honestly, sometimes I wonder if I should take a break at sometime too lol. I post pretty often so maybe I'll take another on in July or something and make it a yearly thing.
            
            Oh and there's two books planned after INAC, so there's plenty of content, trust me!

I got a new thing to add to my AU!
          
          If you've read my author's note, you would have seen this, but I'm thinking, instead of introducing it in a oneshot or the next book (I've Always Been Neutral), maybe I could just add it into INAC instead? 
          
          I won't make any changes to what's already been posted for now, but in Chapter 27, I can start adding that thing in.
          
          And, well, that thing is: For Submissives (the agere community really should find a better name for this instead of borrowing the BDSM one and maybe i'll make one up who knows) BUT ANYWAY, their eyes will start changing colour when they start slipping. 
          
          It's blue for Littles, green for Pets and red for General Subs.  How dark/deep the colour is depends on how young the regressor gets to. So, Alex, for example, would have dark blue eyes when he slips, while Nathan would have a much lighter shade.
          
          Sooo yeah, I'll try and implement that in the next chapter of INAC and I'll add the changes to the physically published version of INBL because....I think the idea is cool. 
          
          But, if any of you have your own thoughts on it, feel free to let me know!

Crystal_Nightfall

@ARAuthor13 Yup that's half the point lol. It'll be much harder to hide if you're slipping or not. 
            Even though Caregivers have headspaces, their eyes don't change colour. I think I want it to stay with the Submissives. 
            However, if I were to do that, then I'd take your idea and make the Caregivers' eyes orange.

KalebKreations

@Crystal_Nightfall Ooooh that sounds really cool actually... Imagine a Little trying to hide that they're small but their caregiver can either just see their eyes or knows they're small cause they're trying to hide their eyes lol
            Would Caregiver's eyes change color too? Cause they also have a headspace, I was just curious. Maybe orange cause it's the complement to blue? IDK.

Genuine question, for those who've read the three books I've posted on here, I'll Never Be Little, The Fake Baby Boy and I'm Not A Caregiver, which one had the most compelling story line and characters and if you have the time, maybe even add why? 
          
          I'm asking because I'm looking to make I'm Not A Caregiver better as well as the other books I'm writing (yes, book with an s because I can't do one story at a time for the life of me) and it just feels like with every new book I write it gets...worse? So, I'm just wondering is all.
          
          Publishing anything physically will take.....a really long time from now, but I will try my best to post chapters of newer books on here as often as possible while still...living life irl. Things are very different from when I was pumping chapters out in July-August.
          
          Anyway, that's it, please answer the question if you can as it will help me with writing my works, thank you!

@Writerandreader17 Awww thank you so much!! Editing it is going to take a while, but I'll make it worth it!

@Crystal_Nightfall  ok I def need to buy it when it comes out!

Crystal_Nightfall

I'm working on publishing I'll Never Be Little and The Fake Baby Boy (hopefully by the second week of January by God's grace), but until then, updates for I'm Not A Caregiver might slow down just a tad bit as I edit those two books. 
          
          The Fake Baby Boy should stay relatively the same, but I'll have to change I'll Never Be Little a decent amount and maybe even add new content, so the published version will definitely not be the same as the original (Wattpad will stay the same though : D).
          
          I'm still on the fence about taking out the diaper scenes from the Wattpad versions of my works, but like I reallyyy don't want Wattpad to take my account (Wattpad leave me alone please lol).
          
          Anywayy, if you ever want to support my works and make it easier for me to dedicate a ton of time into making not only my full works, but also oneshots, please buy the books if/when they're published.
          
          HOWEVER, unless I'm literally forced, I will keep both of the entire unedited books up on Wattpad for free. There will be no 'oop there's 7 chapters up for free, but you can get the rest on Amazon~' nah, none of that. I ain't gonna paywall comfort fics like that. 
          
          If you do have some extra money to spare though...please consider buying one though : D I hope to continue posting books on Wattpad and on Amazon for a decent amont of time, by God's grace.
          
          Anyway, that's thank you for reading all that. I'll slither away now, bye lovelies!

Crystal_Nightfall

@cl0udy_dream Ahhh don't get too excited, I'll probably have to push that date back by a few months because of life complications, but it's definitely happening! I have posted quite a bunch since the last time you were here and am working on a new one I haven't started posting yet (20 chapters in oh my gosh I write so much), so there's plenty to read!
            
            Also, thank you so much for saying that you'll get it, I'm sorry that it'll take quite a while, but I'll do my best to make it worth it!!

Hey, everyone! Just want to let you know that rewrites for I'm Not A Caregiver have been completed! I think I've written like 8 chapters or something in the last week lol. 
          
          Starting from Friday, December 5th at 12 AM UTC, I'll start posting entirely new chapters to the book starting from Chapter 16 upwards.  
          
          However, a lot of changes have been made to the book, to Blake especially, so if you want everything to make sense, I suggest:
          
          If you want the shortest amount of chapters to read for everything to make sense: Go for Chapter 9
          If you care to see Blake's personality change, but also don't want to reread everything: Just look at Chapters 9 and 13
          If you just want to make sure you've caught every change, then just start from Chapter 6 and read all the ones after that.
          
          I apologize again for any trouble the rewrites have caused. I really hope the new chapters will be worth it.

Crystal_Nightfall

Oh, and read Chapter 18 too, but once the new chapters are added, it'll become Chapter 20
Reply

Crystal_Nightfall

Chapter 8 has been rewritten to Blake's POV! Most of the content is the same, so I didn't post it as a separate chapter, but the ending leads up to what will be the new Chapter 9! It'll be from Blake's POV and entirely new content : DD
          
          I apologize for the delay in actively continuing the story (like posting Chapters 18+). I'll get back to that as soon as I can!
