Good evening :)
          I have published a story to Wattpad for the first time in a few years! I can't believe it has been so long. I am not sure how much of it I will publish here before ultimately finishing the story on my Patreon, but until then it is yours to enjoy. Below is the *temporary* description for "A Word of Fire and Fangs" (also a temporary title. You know how these things go).
          
          I am my father's daughter. He taught me to hunt. He taught me to fight. "You are your own sword, and you belong to no one," he always told me, but I knew there was more behind them. There was a mystery to be revealed, something to be abstracted from the implicit.
          But there is no time now. The beasts of old are on my kingdom's doorstep. The mystery is unraveling within me, manifesting on my tongue. They want my sword. But who am I to stop the wars of kingdoms?
          I am my father's daughter.

Is there a way to purchase Captive by the Sea as a hard copy? 

Hi! I read The Tekula Project years ago, and honestly only use wattpad to come back and reread it sometimes. Are you planning on finishing the rewrite at all?

          The "Romantacy" genre has taken the world by storm.  The magical fairytale stories we grew up with have adopted sexy, alluring, and romantic undertones. It seems that gone are the days of ethereal world building, immersive lore, and meaningful plotlines, having been replaced by seductive urban fantasies, steamy romance, and compromised moral integrity. Perhaps I am making an unfair generalization, but with the cultural fixation on books like Fourth Wing, ACOTAR, Crescent City, The Cruel Prince, and Zodiac Academy, where are the books that remind us of LOTR? Of Narnia?
          
          If these books exist, the ones with thick descriptions, heavy plots, and "old fashioned" world building, where are they? Why are they continuously shoved to the bottom of every popularity ranking? Are these stories simply not interesting anymore? Has our attention span been so ruined by the dopamine hits of internet scrolling that the collective consciousness of society is no longer capable of consuming real literature? Because let's face it: tropes and cliches are not literature.
          
          So, I present my question to you all: is true fantasy dead, or is it simply changing over time? Do you agree with the things I have presented? As consumers yourselves, what do you think this should mean for a creator like me? Do you want a romantasy from yours truly, or do you also long for the days when fantasy was fantastical?
          
          Please discuss :)

I have been thinking a lot about how I can express myself through more media than just my creative writing. Recently, I have been doing a lot of reading in the fantasy and YA sections of contemporary literature. I have to say, I am quite annoyed with the way those genres are going, and I want to talk about why there seems to be this universal downfall of the YA scene in literature.
          
          There are other things I want to talk about as well, and this definitely does not mean I will stop posting creatively. I just want to put my thoughts out into the void and see what the response is.
          
          That being said, what are you guys interested in? What would you like to see from me, and what would you be willing to subscribe to my Patreon (Patreon.com/TheAllieL) to see? I have thought about doing articles and text posts (mostly to discuss my tips on writing), but I've also tossed around the idea of doing videos (specifically for book reviews and discussions).
