#writing update

[fir-fireweed]

Happy May, all! Thought I’d give a progress update on Chapter 3. 😁

I am back from the dead, lol. Down for a week with the flu but finally feeling like myself again and ready to get back in it. 💪🏻 I’m about 15k words into Cantata Chapter 3 and if I had to estimate, that’s about halfway, maybe a little less. A lot of stuff happening in this episode: humor, fight scenes (hate writing those 😣) romance (love writing those ❤️). I’m excited with how it’s shaping up!

There do seem to be less choice options in this chapter so far. Part of that is due to the action, but mostly it’s because I’m incorporating choices you’ve already made (personality, attunement, etc). I’ve got variables firing off left and right here. While it may not seem like a lot of choices, it’s definitely a customized chapter.

Thank you all for following my work! As always, feel free to ask me anything. If I don’t answer please don’t take it to heart; there could be any number of reasons: too spoilery, not enough time/brain power, etc. But I do enjoy receiving the asks!

Hiii, pookies! ✨️

I want to make an update regarding Nonviolent Communication's Part 23. I had previously stated I was hoping to update NC on May 2nd, but unfortunately, it won't be happening.

I'll be moving the update to May 10th for several reasons, explained below the cut (along with a short snippet of part 23 🤭)!

1. I've had some personal things going on these last few days with a close family member and extended family; drama and more drama. It's been mentally exhausting.

2. I've felt unwell due to my period and seasonal allergies, and also, unmotivated because of the time of year. There are always about 2 weeks in the spring in which I feel deeply unmotivated before I get back to my normal self, which I am now. 😌

3. Just when I'm feeling like writing and have all this motivation, my laptop stops working. 🥲 It shut down on me yesterday, and even though I tried several things, I couldn't get it to work. One of my siblings is more of a tech person, so they'll be checking it for me this Friday (opening it up and checking the internal stuff) to figure out what's going on. We're guessing it's either the battery or thermal paste needing to be glued back. Thankfully, I have my phone and tablet to write and everything is saved in Notion (thank God for my beloved Notion 🫶🏼), but I know it's going to take me longer since I type faster on my laptop and in general enjoy writing better on a pc than anything else, so while the laptop gets fixed (hopefully there's a fix 😭 because this economy ain't it to buy devices rn), I'll be working from these other devices.

Due to all of this, I'm nowhere near done with the chapter. Usually, I would push through to make it happen, but I don't want to overwhelm myself and also, one of my siblings is graduating from uni this weekend (actually, both my siblings are graduating this semester; one from uni and the other from community college (next weekend). I'm so proud of them 🥺❤️), so I just know I won't be able to do it. Writing a good quality chapter is so important to me, so I hope you guys understand!

For now, here's a little snippet of Part 23!💕

I hope you guys are doing well and taking care of yourselves! 💖

I am slowly working on a part two to Massage Therapy that focuses on poor lil BingBing trying to get back to Shizun so he can get his damn massage.

Some crazy shit went down this last weekend so not sure when it will be done but I'm pretty sure the AO3 curse got me but not in a bad way?

[purple-nightfall-writes]

been a bit quiet on here but guys i am cooking SO HARD on the ruffled feathers sequel right now. i am having such a good time and i'm so excited for when i get to show you guys :D

the fic is entirely plotted out and i've written the first three chapters and some change. i don't have a solid chapter estimate yet but i'd guess somewhere in the 10-ish ballpark probably.

Writing Update ✍🏽

Hey, friends! I haven't done one of these in a while, have I? lol

Well here we go! I just finished posting the last chapter of Between the City & the Stars (Dean Winchester x Reader | 1940s AU). 💖

Before we dive into some Jason Teague for Jacklesverse Bingo, I have a surprise Dean AU story for you that brings us back to the modern world, and it's a firefighter!Dean AU! ❤️‍🔥 (No, it's not set in the Smoke Eater-verse, but there's a little one-shot for that series coming in the future. 😉)

This one is a request from a new member of my Patreon, @redhoodieone. It's a whopper of a two-parter for Dean, called...

IF I STAY

Pairing: Dean Winchester x Plus-Sized!Reader Summary: Your dream is to work with kids as an elementary school teacher. Dean is well on his way to becoming a firefighter, keeping things light and “strings unattached” as he goes. After a one-night stand you never saw coming, you and Dean are forced to deal with the consequences…and figure out if the connection between you is worth fighting for.

👀 Sneak Peek

Slowly, your eyes slide open into the waking world. Your head is resting on something warm, firm…and a little sweaty. You pick your head up, despite the disorienting, muddy feeling of a slight hangover.

A groan bubbles in your throat. You gaze travels downward, and you realize that what you’re looking at is more of a who.

Your eyes widen. Oh…my…God…

Not only are you very naked, but your firm pillow is too. It happens to be your best friend’s brother.

Yes, holy fucking shit! You slept with your best friend’s brother.

Biting the inside of your lip, you can’t help but take him in, here in the raw light of day as he lays peacefully on his back. His head lolls to the side on your usual pillow. Your eyes roam over the bow of his lips, the dark eyebrows, lightish brown hair that's softer than it should be between your fingers.

He’s painfully handsome. There’s a slight hesitation in your touch, but you softly trace the cut of his jaw and the stubble spread across it. That roughness feels familiar, and not just under the pads of your fingers, though the thought makes you blush. You begin to remember the night before, almost like a movie reel through your mind… 

Ooooh, right. That’s what happened.

⋆˙⟡ Part 1 coming 3/16!

⋆˙⟡ Or read Part 1 on Patreon now! - Part 2 will be posting there on 3/14~

Writing Update 2/3/25 - Alpha Readers + Chapter 2

Hello everyone!

Long time no see. I have some announcements to make. First is that Chapter 2 has been wrapped up at ~ 90k, making the Twine Demo ~190k. This is very exciting! Lots of new variation has been added re. Amilia + Vethna's relationship (it depends on the Commander now), and Amilia's character has been a bit more refined.

My goal is to fix some typos + finish the "WIP" parts of Chapter 1 in the next week, and after being proofread, Chapter 2 + patches for Chapter 1 should be good to go.

Because of that, I'm finally doing what should be my last (hopefully) call for Alpha Testers! The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, February 12th. All the relevant info is on the google form. The hope is that we can push to do a Chapter 2 release by the end of this month, though it might be pushed to early March. You can apply to be an alpha reader here!

Otherwise, life's been interesting. I'm wrapping up college this semester, so I've been dealing with my Senior thesis (whoop) and I had a surgery that I am just now mostly recovered from (whoop whoop). Very strange to think I went into college working on the exile, and now I graduate still working on it. That's a long time!

Thanks for reading, and as always, thank you for being patient! :)

I've never been hit so deeply with parasocial grief before but I'm trying to channel it into writing now. Maybe that helps.

Chapter Three- The Great Capital

Minutes dragged by as you waited for any kind of movement. The cold metal of the cheekpiece stung your face, distracting you from surveying the clearing. You would see a flicker of movement in the nearby bushes now and again but nothing to suggest anything larger than a fox.  You were starting to wish you had never given away your cloak to that witch when you eventually spotted a grey blur emerge from the thick treeline that surrounded the clearing.  Kane noticed it too as she moved behind your shoulder with a muttered,” Finally.” Flicking off the safety, you closed one eye, trying to gather an image through the rear sight. As it prowled over, you could at least identify it was definitely a wolf. Its coat was a light grey, flecked with white. Thankfully Kane’s runes worked, the great beast paid no attention to either of you. “Aim for its eye. Hopefully, the skull can stop the bolt from penetrating all the way through and puncturing the pelt,” Kane murmured, her voice low. Probably the most advice she had given you in a year. The wolf stopped just before the venison, bending its head to sniff at it, its snout twitching slightly. Adjusting your position, you angled the crossbow so the rear sight gave you a perfect view of the wolf’s head. As if sensing your presence, the animal's head snapped up. Its green eyes bored into yours. “Now."

The Capital has much to offer but will you like all that you find? Features

05/09/2024: everyone wake up it's take walks in the rain and hole up in the library season

academia: slowly working through preliminary research for a potential dissertation topic (women in medieval/early modern warfare), battling the university website for it to acknowledge me as an incoming student.

writing: ... so i accidentally started a new project again. that makes 13, not including the fanfic i write, but whelp. i'm hoping i can mesh it into a pre-existing project, since they're on a similar theme, and that'll feed two birds with one scone.

ADORIEL'S TEARS PROGRESS UPDATE

Hi everyone,

It's an even day, so I thought it would be a good time to give a quick summary of where I'm at with Adoriel's Tears.

As I hope you've noticed with the sneek peaks, I'm continuing to write in my corner and interacting a lot less here.

The last Q&A and some asks I received after it have a lot to do with it.

The end of 2024 and the beginning of this year has been and is hard for me in the real life I'm prioritizing, so I'm writing less regularly than before, but the days dedicated to this activity are generally enough to make up for the days off.

I lost a good part of my progress in mid-December due to an oversight on my part, but I eventually caught up.

So far, I've written the entire path of the Familiars and its various branches, added a little to the Plushie one and started the first scene of the one about Sirius.

This one is rich in branches and choices, but after having a fellow author read it, I know it's worth it.

I'm also continuing to polish up the old chapters and writing the Christmas special side story, which I'm thinking of charging for to be honest.

I've also decided that I won't be answering any more questions where Elianna and Ashlyen's names appear together and about how they're handling things with Mc. These questions have already been widely addressed and only serve to make me sullen and just want to either stop the whole thing or do a complete rewrite of the story, bypassing Mc's childhood.

I've also blocked Tumblr notifications as I found they were taking up too much space in my mind and I encourage anyone who might feel overwhelmed to do so if they wish.

That's it, I think I've covered it all, let's meet again for a new excerpt sharing very soon. 😊

Arielle.

Ch. 19 — Broken

Tags: smut, dubious consent, dark romance, power imbalance, gaslighting, manipulation, yandere, Stockholm syndrome, injury recovery, fluff and smut, slice of life, implied non-consensual drug use, size difference, gratuitous use of pet names, metaphors, and descriptions of König's eyes

WC: 13.1k [total 222k]

Your anxiety was a ravenous beast with an endless appetite for your peace. It ate away at everything that once felt so secure and solid within you until you were hollow and on the verge of collapsing in on yourself. You did your best to stay busy the next day, consumed with the need to keep moving or doing something to sate it.

König took you up on your offer to fold laundry, so you sat cross-legged on the floor in the middle of the bedroom beside a pile of clean clothes, smoothing and folding until you had a crisp stack beside you.

You tucked a pair of his socks together, cuffing the ends and placing them beside the other pairs. If you focused on one thing at a time, one fold at a time, you could occupy the part of you that would be sprinting down a rabbit hole of self-destructive thoughts. It worked for a while,

until the floor creaked as König entered the room.

You kept your eyes on the T-shirt you were folding, but turned your head just enough to peek at him over your shoulder. He sat on the edge of the bed, elbows resting on his thighs, face in his hands.

Fuck, this couldn’t be good.

Regret surged inside you, thick and dark as tar behind your sternum. It filled the space around your lungs and made it hard to breathe, but you continued with your chore, smoothing the folded shirt down as you set it atop the stack and picked up another.

One fold at a time.

One fold at a time.

One—

“Hase,” König said, fingers steepled beneath his chin. “We need to talk.”

I should probably say: the reason why I’m active again is that I have ✨graduated✨!! Aaand I have a new pc. Thus, I plan to be more consistent and faster with my writing! Blackwood Manor is coming back soon 🖤

Chapter Two Release News

I didn't want to say anything until I was more sure, since life seems to love to throw curveballs my way, but I think chapter two may arrive by the end of the week or early next week.

I managed to really bang out a huge chunk of the final section today, and with only a few parts left, I can see myself finishing it tomorrow.

All that is left is to code it (which goes quite fast since I tend to write my code into my document as I write) and then send it to playtesters to make sure everything works. Plus Arabella's art.

With it being a long weekend this week, the odds of the chapter arriving soon is looking good!

Thank you, everyone, for your support. Your wonderful words while I was in hospital and before that, when I was struggling to work through tough sections, has really helped. I can't wait to share the new chapter with all of you!
