Preface
Yeah, I figured I'd knock out a commission early. Also, as the end of the year approaches, I decided to set up a feedback survey. It's voluntary of course, but this is the chance for you to tell me things and have a say in how I run my side-hustle. Please fill it out if you have a chance: 2023-11-01 14:57:20 +0000 UTC View Post
***ANNOUNCEMENT***
I said this last month, but once again: I will not be active for the month of December. I can proudly say that I've never missed a single post this year, but even I need a break. I'll still be writing, but the plan is to build myself a bit of a backlog, flesh out my outlines, and catch up with fa...

I've got a document with several story ideas that never got written for whatever reason. I'm starting this poll to gauge interest. This doesn't mean I'm going to write it anytime soon, but I'd certainly kee...

I stood atop the sky, staring down at the tumultuous sea below. The waves towered over most houses from crest to trough. Between the waves, on a section of superimposed calm, the beast called Leviathan glared up at me with four, baleful eyes. Even as I watched, t...

Part 2 of my Chuseok Special
This chapter covers Riley’s trigger. I’m opting to skip my usual timestamps from her POV because the whole event is chronologically a mess and takes place over weeks of torture that a six year old has no frame of reference for.
Preface
This week’s post falls smack dab on Chuseok, a three-day harvest festival in Korea. We eat a stuffed rice cake called songpyeon (steamed in pine needles), and play stupid games in the moonlight. I won’t be doing any of that, but have the end of Arc 7 and the first chapter of Arc 8 in celebration. 2023-09-29 13:01:25 +0000 UTC View Post

This is a commission, the fourth of five this month. The final commission will be released this coming week and is Homeless Bunny. I think I’ll put that up on Patreon as well. It’s long enough to be its own story at this point and I can’t rightly call it just an omake anymore.
