Naughty Cupid

Continuing the break

Dearest readers and supporters,

Although it was my intention to use last month to get Chapter II finished, completion was not meant to be! In hindsight, the holidays were a terrible time to try and wrap something up. However, I did find tremendous value in allowing myself to focus solely on the story, and have decided to continue to pause billing until the next chapter is out. I thank you much for your patience and support, and I hope you have a wonderful new year!

Special Release! Chapter Two Preview

Today is the day I will pause billing in order to focus on finishing this chapter, and I have something quite special for it. My testers and I have been working hard to bring you the very beginning of Chapter Two, where you will meet with Tamsin or Thomas for the first time since you were adolescents. 2024-11-30 21:02:11 +0000 UTC View Post

November's Bonus Content:

From the first moment of their conception, my romantic characters were intrinsically tied to specific colors, as if those hues were the essence of their being—a visual guide to their personalities and motivations. Each character seemed destined for a distinct palette, their emotions, actions, and inner lives infused with the shades that defined them. I cannot say why this phenomenon emerged, nor w...

Dear Patrons,

Above all, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all of you for your support and enthusiasm for my project. Your engagement has truly fueled my creative process, and I couldn’t have made it this far without you.

As we approach the end of the year, I’ve been reflecting on the progress of the story and where I want to take it next. After careful consideration, I’ve decided that after November, I will be pausing the Patreon temporarily in ord...

October's Bonus Content: Making Magic

I always knew there was magic when I originally had the concept for this game. The titular ball exuded an aura that instantly welcomed Glamour Magic through the environment, attendees' masks, and their outfits. And then, for reasons I will not disclose, it was Spirit Magic. The last piece was animallinguis, and it was the right one to complete the puzzle. Using the actual language of the novel (as i...

September's Bonus Content: Making the Masks

Who came first, the character or the mask?

When I first began conceptualizing this story and its host of masquerading characters, they came to me as one, intertwined from the beginning, each one shaping the other in a symbiotic relationship. An enigmatic charmer seemed fit for a fox, a lonely soul for a rabbit, and a ravishing beauty for a butterfly. The Uninvited Guest… well...

Story Poll: A Special Pet for the MC?

I hope you aren't tired of polls this month, because for the first time I'm releasing a special one! Thinking about the ROs and animals made me consider one thing in particular... what if the MC had a little one that they kept around all the time? It could introduce some interesting interactions, to say the least, as well as helping flesh out the MC as their own character apart from how they interac...

August's Bonus Content: Character Values

This month's Bonus Content is a look into two competing values within the Romantic Options. People are all different shades of gray, and I take that to heart while writing my characters, giving them strengths and weaknesses designed to test them throughout the story. While I do not consider this a complete list, and there is more than one sin and virtue that could be assigned to each, I tried to kee...
