Anyway—I hope you enjoy it! ♥️
I'll be adding to the chapter based on needed fixes, edits, polish, bugs, etc. Please send me a message if you have anything you think should be...
2024-07-02 22:22:20 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone <3
Thank you for your patience with me finishing my master thesis 😆 It was a lot, but it is finally behind me—
AND BEFORE YOU IS—
And as the Patreon seems to be automatically unpausing at this time (? I genuinely find the system really confusing, it seems to be on my end to re-paus each month instead of it staying on), please let...
2024-06-30 17:42:26 +0000 UTC View Post🫠 I am genuinely so close to finishing the chapter. But with finishing my master thesis, and job hunting and networking... I simply didn't find the combination of time and energy to finish the suit coding and the polishing.
I hope for better luck next month, and I won't be unpausing it until I post the update 🫡
I love ya, and I appreciate y'all's patience.
🥹❤️ Take care
2024-04-29 18:55:52 +0000 UTC View PostI DM'd a beta version to one of my betas <3
(I haven't sent it to the full beta group yet, mostly because the suit dress-up part isn't done yet, and only some of them could play it then. I plan to send it to them a few days before I send it to you all so me and the betas can first locate the giant bugs and text errors <3)
Ok. So.
We are in the home stretch, and I feel comfortable saying this now—
✨🐣✨ Tbh that’s all, from Wednesday till next Wednesday I’ll have a lot more time for a bit to write ✍️ ✨
I’m excited! And I hope to deliver something by the end of it ❤️
2024-03-25 17:20:08 +0000 UTC View PostI've been working really hard at making and coding and finishing this new dress system—but im really happy with it! <3 heres a peek!
(The suits will come soon!)

In a little under 10 minutes I'll begin a Q&A on Discord (where I'll be as open as I can while answering questions I would not normally answer publically.)
If you can't attend, you can send me questions:
- Here on Patreon as a comment on this post.
- On Tumblr, if you want anonymity.
I will try to format it into a PDF and post it here too! ❤️
XOXO,
Doriana
2024-03-13 17:51:31 +0000 UTC View PostOmg, y'all don't know how much Victorian fashion I've read and written about this weekend...
I decided to change some stuff up with the system because of some feedback, and I think it's shaping up well. It's a lot, though... (in a good way imo!)
Once it's fully done, I would like to give y'all the opportunity to add one or two additional unique costumes, but we will do that when get there.
But anyway, I just wanted to let y'all know—
Q&A:
First of did... a while back on Discord... I tried to format this thing in a good way on three separate occasions, but... OMG, IT'S JUST IMPOSSIBLE! The discord formatting makes everything weird and, just generally awful. And then, if I wanted to keep any context of some questions, I needed to have the comments and who said what and—to make a longer thing short: THE PDF IS JUST A STRAIGHT-UP COPY PASTE—and it's an incredibly confusing document. If you're at...
2024-03-07 21:49:40 +0000 UTC View PostI have this (good and bad) habit of following inspiration.
Yesterday, I got to thinking because of a Tumblr ask about making some more L POV stuff. Especially around the time of ch5.
Here is the fruit of that labour ->
Love ya!
(I'm still plonking away at ch5. Last week, I was a bit out of commission, but my head feels more on right this week. Anyway, take care y'all <3 )
PS. CHECK OUT TUMBLR FOR SOME REALLY COOL FAN ART!) 😚🌹✨
2024-02-26 16:55:53 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I just did the alpha test (it went well! She liked it! <3 )
But what we couldn't decide on was where to cut off the chapter, so I'm putting it in your hands—
(However, I retain the ability to change the option if something unforeseen comes up!)
I'll keep it up for the weekend unless it's a landslide. The original idea was to end it at option 1, but I had the idea a little while back to cut it off later, and this is what came of that—...
2024-02-15 19:49:47 +0000 UTC View Post🥹💖 It was a lot of work (mostly because I had a hard time tearing myself away from writing either the ball or working on my master thesis), but it's really shaping up now!
I have a time booked with my alpha reader on Thursday, where we will go over it and find what to change, what works, etc. But I'm just really happy I was able to deliver some kind of good news to y'all on this day 🥰
I know I have been MIA from here and Discord, but I promise it's only so I can find the ...
2024-02-14 16:56:50 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the fourth and final batch of letters! <3
In a little under an hour, I'll begin a spoiler Q&A on Discord (where I'll be as open as I can while answering questions I would not normally answer publically.)

The answers and questions will then be formatted into a PDF and posted here, too...
2024-01-21 15:10:56 +0000 UTC View Post(There came some more letters, so I will do one more batch! But I will probably close the form soon! Maybe tomorrow.)
Writing is going good, but a little slow 🫣 Well, slow and steady wins the race 🙏 But I have some strategies I'll try and do to get a quicker pace on this—I realise yall are waiting to meet everyone again, don't worry <3
Other than that, I have quite a few rough ...

I'll do the next batch early next week. If you have a letter you want to send in, please don't forget to send it in 😘
As long as they come into my Google form through the previous link, I'll answer them, and the link will remain up for a while longer.
Take care! 🥰
2024-01-14 15:41:19 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the first batch of letters! <3
I wrapped up my final uni exam and now really only have my master thesis to worry about, and I feel a little lighter, so I found the time to finish these letters I had started on!
I'll do the next batch by the weekend and the third batch either the weekend or next week. So if you have a letter you want to send in, please don't forget to send it in 😘

Ask Lestrade (or X... at your peril) questions and get an in-character response back!
- Have a nice week, everyone ☺️❤️
Ps. The answers will be posted here, publicly. So, if there's any part you don't want to be revealed, write it in the final line. 😚 I'll post them in batches during the month.
2024-01-02 23:39:54 +0000 UTC View PostFor some reason, I decided the fun thing to do would be to make a short choose-your-own-adventure story for Christmas (and I know what you're thinking, but Doriana, you already make those but more functional. Yes, yes, I do. But I got it in my head that making it more like a book would be more unique and fun... which was... a debatable hypothesis.)
Anyway, here it is—(I might update the PDF with time; I'm currently a little sick, and I doubt my language abilities...)

2023-11-27 22:09:26 +0000 UTC View PostI just realised I didn’t do one of these!
I’m working on ch 5 part two, the dress up system for the ball and the collection of smaller scenes the chapter has. But I’m at a the same time working on ch 6 (the ball) cause they are quite connected, and that is what currently feels right 😆✨
(The amount of research one can do on Victorian clothing is… overwhelming and also very very fun 😆)

There was a bug where it wasn't working—but it is now! (tbh, I didn't know it wasn't working until someone asked me why there wasn't a quick start option, and I was like 😵💫)

Thank you!
2023-10-14 19:07:48 +0000 UTC View PostI'm going to start calling it Chapter 5, part 1, though, because it's not very long (19k), and I think it will make more sense together with (the formerly ch6 now) Chapter 5, part 2, as both are about preparing for the ball.
(So the ball will now be ch 6!)
