But vote and give me insight on what you're most excited for coming up out of the series!

Sneak Peek: Winter in Rivali (2)

So which one are you choosing?

“I hate this day. I’ve always hated it.”

“Is it the whole ‘your line is dead’ mindset that everyone seems to preach today?”

“No. It’s just that everyone mourns them on this day, but I do it every fucking day. At the end of the day, they walk away from this and get ready for another day. I end this day never being able to put ghosts to rest. Having to realize that I get to add another damn tick to ...

December Forecast

Wrapping up the year yet again. Have I been doing this for two years? Three? I'm not checking, I don't care enough to. Ah, yet another month that I don't really like. Like, I'm given the wonderful and amazing month that is October and then get hit with two months of BS before everything mellows back down into months that I do like. December is just irritating, it's like you have to prepare for a new year and all the crap that comes with it as well as all the Christmas stuff and I despise Chri...

Cast Interview - Superstition

Insert engaging and interesting summary that I can't be bothered to write here.

Sneak Peek: Winter in Rivali (1)

You stand, grabbing ahold of his hand and pulling him towards the bed.

“No,” he tells you, bringing his hand back, “we can sleep later. I still have things to take care of.”

“And that won’t be there for you later?”

“Oh, it will, and that’s the problem.” He gazes towards his study, and you can practically see the drowsiness and the weeks of hardly any sleep right there on his face. He did an excellent job of hiding it; you’ll give him that much.

Oopsie, Plan B Poll

Yea, I made an oopsie and pulled what me and my friends call an Icarus. The Christmas idea is still going to happen (just maybe in 2022) because it was a very big project and along with everything else, something that wasn't going to be finished in time. I ended up stressing more than writing and my brain was not here for it. And for that, I'm sorry guys, really.

So, a big milestone is still promised. I'm going to put the Christmas idea to the side for later as that will be DLC big. And...

Sneak Peek - Superstition S3 (2)

One for the Chrismancers. You ready for that lock-in or naw?

“Oh, friend,” I laugh, “is that what we are now?” He stiffens but then relaxes a moment later, settling down on the workout machine’s seat.

“I don’t think we’ll ever not be friends, $name. And honestly, I’d rather be that first than anything else.” I raise a brow, but he doesn’t go back and change his wording or even look like he regrets his previous words.

Reminder & Update: Cast Interview & Superstition

Just quick mid-month reminders: 

  • Midway through the month on the Cast Interview for Superstition, so here's the reminder about that. I'll stop taking cast interview questions on the last week so that I can do the write up and get it out.
  • Superstition beta link is out but won't be updated in a while since I gotta do this milestone story.
  • Milestone story is brainstormed and now just the part of actually writing it. I'll be sending out sneak peeks of it through...

November Monthly Forecast

Ah, November. I really don't have anything nice to say about you. I'm mourning the passing of Halloween and dreading the repetitive nature of Christmas. I'd rather just skip straight to January.

Let's get into this shit though.

Superstition

If you hadn't seen the sneak peek a while back then ... well, I don't know why I typed this sentence. Ruben's Ch5 and 6 killed my fantasy brain more than I thought and though I did get some work done on Ozara, I wasn't able to commit li...

Sneak Peek - Superstition S3 (1)

“Open your eyes.” I do, and they widen with interest, which also causes them to glow brighter. The first thing I notice is my sclera. The entire thing is black with no pupil to discern. No, I only now had a bright, glowing orange iris. A dark mist leaks off of me, pooling at my feet before crawling outwards and then dispersing. I raise a hand to my cheek, unsurprised when I touch flesh though I did believe that nothing would rest there. It was dark, but I could see just the hint of my fac...

Spooktober 2021 - Week Three

Technically since there's one more week left I will probably be doing a week four but the prompt list only gives three columns of prompts so I'll probably do some free writing shit. I'll figure something out.

No triggers for this one. Just a big flip that will probably make you guys want to hit me.

Christmas Milestone Poll

Had to redo this thing because check boxes wanted to be checked when they weren't supposed to. *sips tea*

So, my favorite idea did win and I thank all of you lmfao. The idea was literally to do a storybook of different Christmas themed stories. It's something that I've wanted to do for a while and I did almost start with Superstition but ended up not going through with because of issues on more than my part.

Below are a list of well known Christmas classics that i...

Spooktober Prompts - Week One

As the title says, I'll do a batch of these every week, going off of a list provided by World Anvil. Not all of them are scary I'm just going off the theme and whatever my brain comes up with first. Obviously I'm not doing all of them because hands will kill me. Some may be sexual in manner but I'll have a warning for that if so ...

None of these need a trigger warning ... *thinks* I mean, yea. They're not bad.

October Monthly Forecast

The best month. I just choose to remind everyone of that in case anyone forgot. *taps foot* Um, lots of polls but that's all that's on my mind besides some spooky shit.

Throne of Ashes

I spelled that right on the first try, fuck you Thorne, you did not win today. Ruben's chapters 5&6 will be uploaded on Monday for patrons not of the First Mate tier. Next up is Ozara and then Zarik unless something horrific happens and my mind rebels. I won't say anything else because I give ...

Sneak Peek: Ruben Ch6

As soon as the water makes contact with your back, your eyes roll up as you embrace this euphoria. How you miss the idea of hot springs. The phoenix territory had ones even hotter than this, many even made from lava. It made you even more excited to be so close to the place you once called home.

"All for the hot springs," you snort, about to sink down just as someone in the distance comes up. Your eyes widen as Ruben makes himself known, utterly unaware of you, as he moves his sleek, we...

Cast Interview

Throne of Ashes won the cast interview so go ahead and send in questions and prompts.

Questions

Any of the cast is up for a question from Ruben and Ozara to Bane and Raznith. Remember that this will be in character too so questioning why Laurens is an asshole is just going to be an asshole response. But as long as it's not too spoilery, it will be answered. Questions regarding two people are also okay (i.e "Ozara do you hate Ruben?").

Sneak Peek: Zarik Ch2 & Ruben Ch5 (2)

Zarik Al-Asherath

Khan Zarik clears his throat, his eyes trained on you and you only, "where is the pain centered?" A look of bewilderment appears on your face, but no one's face, not even Laurens, gives a clue as to why he has asked this.

You focus back on him, "my chest." Khan Zarik's jaw clenches, and Ari Baz just closes his eyes. One look at Laurens tells you that whatever this was about, he had won.

"What will you do to him?" you inquire.

"You have nothing to wo...

September Monthly Forecast

*typing August in the title bar and staring at it for five minutes trying to figure out what's wrong and retyping monthly because I thought I spelled it wrong.*

I don't know anymore, my brain is doing this thing and if I question it I begin to fear for my life. Also, poor September. That one non-exciting month that's crammed between the month of fall and going back to school and then like five super months that don't know what a chill button is. If your birthday is in September then ......

Second half that focuses on the characters and their majors, clubs, sports, and a bit on who they know but not much. There's so many possibilities that thinking about the grandness of it can get a bit overwhelming but I'm excited.

Sneak Peek: Ruben Ch5 - 1

Author's Note: And before you guys ask, yea this isn't how I planned for these releases to go. I did attempt to write some of Ozara and I actually got 2k words out but my brain refused to go any further. I'm thinking the fact that I'm switching between ... three ;) and it feels like actual full stories, my brain is rebelling. Kinda like if I was doing ToA, FtC, and then Insight all at once. So yea, Ruben is next. Here you go, content.

WoJ Lore :: Tishfai Haven

Even more so than House Great Stags, though the Pegasus did contribute to the War of the Six Houses, they wanted no parts in what they believed would not be the last. When deciding where they will reside, the Pegasus chose a group of islands that were not even part of the selection. No one challenged them, seeing the islands as strategic downfall and left the Pegasus to do as they wished. What came of this was an abundant of resources, a flourishing of culture, and the ability to stay away fr...

August Monthly Forecast

Anyone bothered by the fact that we're in August and that 2021 is slowly but surely coming to a close? It's bothering me a lot. But also I'm excited for Halloween so who cares.

Milestone Story

Zillah's story, The Chase, is officially out and I hope you guys enjoy it. The milestone goal has been updated and it's a major one so there will be either a larger milestone book or two will come out again like I did last time with the twins.
