I'm doing my own kind of not-really-NaNoWriMo challenge - I'm aiming for 100k words for the month (I will happily accept less, but I'mma try).
          	
          	A Truly Mythological Christmas is my focus for this challenge. 
          	
          	I can't promise I'll have time to edit *every* day, but if I can edit and post without missing my daily word goal, I will. Otherwise expect a lot of updates in January =D

Hi Quinloki! I love all the stories you write, they always keep me on the edge of my seat! 
          But I do have a quick question: what happened to the "Family Practice" Law x Reader story?

AlexandraBush5

@Quinloki Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it! I really love your Law stories that's why I ask so I'll be patient, re-read what's already up and wait! Thanks again and take care!! :)

@AlexandraBush5 I set it to drafts for now because it was going to be a long while before I could get back to it - it is still up on Ao3 if you wanted to re-read what's already posted in the mean time, but it'll probably be a while before it updates again ^_^;

There's almost 600 of you. Whew.
          
          Ah, just a heads up - I was going through... a LOT, the last few weeks, and I've got commission work I'm doing, zine work, and like Work Work - so there's a lot of stuff that needs updating.
          
          Good news, I should be getting back to it soon ^_^ So if you've been waiting for certain titles to update, you should be nearing that long wait's end (barring, of course, anything I can't control)
          
          Also, if you're so inclined, I am a lot more active on tumblr - same url there as it is here, so I'm easy to find. Take care my friends, hug your friends, and may you find that story that scratches that itch for you soon.

Hey all, I was missing the Last Sentence/Paragraph on like the first 20 chapters for the Birthday Gift event drabbles.
          
          I've fixed them now - it doesn't really change the entire drabble or anything, but it might make the ending impact hit a little different. thank you to my friend Kaz, who reads these on tumblr and here, for catching it. Took me a couple days to have the spoons to go back and fix 'em all <3

Omg I only noticed on a few it was that man nooo I wish I would’ve noticed it sooner T-T <33

@blackandredroses lol no worries, and I’m glad you enjoyed Family Ties as well \o/ I was inspired by Denying the Devil and another Doffy fic to start writing again, so I’m honored by the mix up ^_^

The Birthday Bash Event is up and running - if you want to submit a request, go over to my tumblr (linked on my about page here!) and check it out.
          
          You do need an account to send an ask, but it's free, so don't let anything hold you back! Currently there's 6 "gifts" completed, and many more to come - Requests are accepted until 7/10/2024 - and my actual birthday is 7/20 \o/

GenDi23

I have legitimately been looking forward to this event!! You did such an amazing job last year and I still reread some of those pieces (more than I’d like to admit). 
            
            Seriously considering making a tumblr just so I can make a request

On May 6th Wattpad is deleting the DM (inbox) feature and removing all messages. If you have anything in those messages you need for reference or personal reasons, be sure to save them somewhere else ASAP

@Mercy_boo With money transfer sites, the best thing is to just not say what you're paying for at all. Even if it's not adult related. One word comments if needed, but nothing else. Paypal has been stopping payments over even just *thinking* they were for anything lewd, even when they aren't - and then holding payment for 90 days or more.
            
            I'm active on Tumblr, it has its issues, but it hasn't been doing any mass purges. Ao3 is still a safe place to post. They're staunchly anti-censorship and have a legal team dedicated to defending that. New social places are popping up too, but until people are forced to move I don't see those places seeing much incoming traffic.

@Quinloki Ah yes, the increasing bans on adult material on sites that also host non-adult content, I do know about that. Forgive me, I am old and I don't easily keep up with newer terms anymore. (A while back my dad asked me what TikTok is and I couldn't answer him. ) I don't know "booktok subculture" though.  And yeah, freaking crackdowns... a couple friends who occasionally live-DJ over on Twitch got smacked for presenting a new video that oops, flashed naked bits. 
            
            And yeah FUCK all the handwringing against LGBTQ people that is desperately trying to shove us back in the closet or drive us to worse. F@CK THEM SIDEWAYS WITH A SPLINTERY TELEPHONE POLE. (I have some feelings on this. I also have loads of skin in the game. )
            
            But, so is the doing-away with DMs part of cracking down on smut/porn?? Because... *waves at all the lemons littered everywhere*  And so... is Tumblr back to being the alternative to all the mess? It seemed like it was going to crack down also, but then backed away from it?  I should take a look and see where online money transfers stand (Paypal, Venmo, etc).
            
            Bah. I have many opinions on conservative movement to "think of the children" us all into the Dark Ages, all thoroughly brocaded in curses and blasphemies, so best I quit now.

@Mercy_boo Lately a lot of platforms - for some social and conservative reasons - are adopting a "all forms of smut and porn are bad", and so sites like Wattpad, TikTok, YT, Patreon, etc are adopting really strict policies. Primary reasons include Mastercard saying even a single nipple is reason enough to decline processing a card payment.
            
            This has been largely untested because of a rise in Purity Culture - not just in Tiktok's "booktok" subculture, but in quite a few places. Conservatives are saying if you write bad things, it means you condone bad things, and younger kids are getting swayed by it.
            
            Banning all manner of smut is a first step into banning queer folk, and any other marginalized group conservatives can mark as "sexualized". Some states have already passed laws to the effect of "if you look like a man you can't dress like a woman" which are so vague and archaic they're almost useless, but the point isn't if they can be enforced, it's that they can be expanded on.
            
            It's a whole tangled mess of bad faith takes, and straight up lies, but one of the leading things protecting this new movement is Purity Culture in general and on TikTok it's just really bad.

I have a question since you have a Sabo fix and a Ace fic do you plan on making a luffy one? 

BONN1E_

@Quinloki ooh okok thank you for responding ♡♡

@BONN1E_ I don't currently have any plans for a Luffy fic. I love the little guy, but I am... not good at writing him. Or at least I don't feel like I am.
            
            I do intend to include him in my Host Club AU coming this July, and I might write a route for him, even if it's just a short story comparatively. ^_^
