while looking through my bookmarks, i stumbled upon curseborn and long story short, i am now reading Our Secret Storm on tapas. very late congratulations on the serialization, and no offense meant to the original version because i loved it, but this version is so polished and on par with a lot of the professionally published stuff i've been reading this year.

OMG fen! It's been so long! ｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡ adsfnaskdfja I'm so happy to hear from you again!! Sorry I took a while to reply, life has been swamping me lately, but believe me getting this ask totally made my day. ヽ(＾Д＾)ﾉ

I'm so glad you're enjoying the all new Our Secret Storm and omg, I'm so flattered you think it's on par with published work! (/ω＼) I really did put a ton of effort into it...although I really should get around to finishing up the edits to the second part and putting it up... (ﾟωﾟ；) Tbh I've not really been working on the story lately or feeling very inspired about it, but I still do love it a lot and definitely will get around to finishing it. Getting this ask has definitely helped get my inspiration up!

In terms of writing, I've actually been focusing more on...Mr. Perfect and the Virgin? Lmao if you remember that depraved shit XDDDD Been putting up a (minorly) edited version of it on AO3 and I actually intend to start posting a sequel when I'm done. So uhh if you want you can take a look at it too lol?

Thank you again for this amazing ask!!! I hope everything's been going well for you and I'd really love to catch up sometime adslfnadskfnsd (●♡∀♡)

how do you pronounce japheth

Sorry for taking so long to reply orz, anyway Japheth is pronounced JAY-fith. Which is why his nickname's Jay.

Feel free to ask if you have any other questions about any of my stories ˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙

[bickwrites]

Shit okay I know it’s been forever and a half since I’ve posted anything here buuuut I’ve actually been writing like crazy lately? But absolutely none of it has been my main projects The Sky Is Our Fortress and Our Secret Storm, instead I suddenly got hit by an enormous wave of nostalgia and dove back into a bunch of my super self indulgent old shit????!!!! 

One of them is Mr. Perfect and the Virgin? Like, I don’t know how, but I ended up writing like 90K words of a freakin sequel story???? Okay holy shit this is the first time I actually counted up all the words, and I guess since I wrote that much I have no choice but to post it!!!??? It’s not even an actual story so much as a collection of scenes in vague chronological order, but I guess that’s also how the original story started out.... Gah I feel like such a massive flake since I went and deleted the original story because I was embarrassed by it, but now I’m seriously considering putting it back up!!! I’m sorry for being so inconsistent and changing my mind so easily. I guess since I was able to write this much, the characters are still dear to me and that’s what matters the most.

I guess I deleted Mr. Perfect and the Virgin in the first place because I had it in my mind that I wanted to be a proper “respectable” writer but since when I did care about that anyway lmao. The respectable shit can go on Tapas, and I’ll put all the filthy porn I want on AO3!!!

The other self-indulgent old story I dove back into is...freakin...Most Perfect Servant of all things? Does anyone even remember that shit? I deleted it so long ago lmao and THAT decision I definitely don’t regret since I wrote the original story way back when I was in high school? Hahahaha talk about a blast from the past! But tbh, even after all these years I still have a lot of fondness for the characters and often find myself thinking about them and writing little scenes with them in my head, and I’ve even made a few attempts over the years at rewriting the story. Now I’ve completely finished the rewrite and I’ve even started posting in on AO3 now, and just like with Mr. Perfect and the Virgin I’ve written a ton of...I guess not a technical sequel story, but a lot of super-detailed scenes set after the main story. So I might as well share those too???

I even kinda have half a mind of maybe posting it on Tapas too...? I mean, since it isn’t a nonstop barrage of porn like Mr. Perfect and the Virgin lmao, though I feel like the basic premise is much kinkier and more dead dove but that’s what warnings are for lolololol.

I guess I felt embarrassed at how nakedly self-indulgent these stories were but now I don’t really give a fuck. What’s the point of writing if I’m not enjoying it. I will make it clear though that Weaponmaster is well and truly dead so don’t expect it to ever get resurrected!

I really ought to get back to work on my serious shit too, though....

[bickwrites]

Hello, I used to read Weaponmaster back in the day, out of curiousity. Have you ever thought about the ending of it? And what the end couple is? It would be a great closure. Thanks for the story

Hi, thanks for the ask. I'm grateful for your interest in Weaponmaster, don't get me wrong, but to be perfectly honest, I...don't really have any positive feelings about the story anymore. It was just something I dashed out on a whim way back in college, without any real thought or planning put into it. I obviously can't control how readers react to my work, but I never expected it to be the most popular of my stories and I can't help but...resent it a little for that? I just kind of wish the stories I put legitimate effort into got at least as much attention asdlkfnasdkjfn

Sorry, I know I must sound like a complete whiner and this definitely isn't what you wanted to hear, but these feelings have been brewing in me for a long time and I can't help but want to let them out, you know? Umm, if you still are interested in my writing, I would love if you decided to check out the stories I'm currently posting on Tapas. In particular, I consider The Sky Is Our Fortress to be kind of an update or spiritual successor to Weaponmaster, as it deals with a lot of similar themes but hopefully executed a lot better.

Uhh anyway, as for your questions, the endgame pairing was going to be Aster/Lachlan, and that was the plan from the beginning. Wolfram was always meant to be a romantic false lead, though I screwed up by making Aster's feelings for him way stronger than intended. To be fair Wolfram was my favorite character and the entire reason the story existed so I guess my bias bled into the text. As for the plot, as everyone already guessed, Lachlan was actually the Chaos and the final battle was going to be him vs. Aster, which Aster wins by saving him through the power of true love. Wolfram is furious that Aster didn't kill the Chaos and tries to kill Lachlan himself and becomes the story's true final boss that Aster and Lachlan have to work together to stop. Like I said before, I actually conceived of Weaponmaster as Wolfram's story first and foremost, with his growth and decisions more central to the climax than anything else, and Aster almost as a decoy protagonist for him.

So uh yeah, hope that answers your questions and I'm sorry for being kind of a downer uwaa ;_;

The Sky Is Our Fortress Part 2 has started! And it has a gorgeous new cover and banner, courtesy of my wonderful sister @lollerblob​! Theo and Zenith are looking super cool and ready to battle!

Just like before, I'll upload a new chapter every Wednesday and Sunday. I might eventually go back to 3x-a-week updating, but for now I don't quite feel like I have enough of a backlog for that.

And yeah I know I still have some Inksgiving rewards to finish >_>;;; but I admit I've been pretty low on writing inspiration lately. Shouldn't affect updates for the main story because of the backlog, though. I do hope regularly updating again will help me get my mojo back...maybe. We can hope!

[bickwrites]

The Sky Is Our Fortress Part 2 Preview

I promised to post a preview of Part 2 of The Sky Is Our Fortress for one of my Inksgiving rewards, so here it is!

Here's a scene where we meet a few old friends of Darian's. As for how long it will take us to reach this point, I can't say exactly, but I can say that we are getting quite close to entering the last arc of Part 1 uwu

Since this is only a preview, everything in it is subject to change before it actually gets posted. Hope you enjoy~

The Blue Sky stopped a few dozen meters above the ground and the man threw down a rope ladder. Darian shimmied up first, and Theo handed Zenith back his cape before following him up.

When Zenith disembarked, he held out a hand to help Theo over the railing. Theo climbed onto the deck just in time to see the man who’d greeted them lower into a bow to Darian.

“It’s been too long, my prince.”

Darian thumped the man on the shoulder. “Come off it, Amaro. This doesn’t suit you an ounce.”

The man straightened and grinned, teeth flashing white against his dark skin. He was tall and lean, with black curls peeking from beneath a colorful bandanna. “Just thought the occasion might warrant a touch of formality. Oh, if it isn’t Sir Zenith too. And this is?”

His dark eyes landed on Theo. Theo gulped and straightened, but before he could speak more people came crowding behind the man, putting up a clamor.

One person burst free of the crowd, rushing up to Darian and sweeping into an elaborate bow. Theo blinked, and blinked. If he wasn’t mistaken, this person looked like...a giant, man-sized chicken stuffed into heavy robes.

“My liege! It is so good to see you!” the chicken squawked in the voice of an officious old man. “When we heard the jellywhistle, we scarcely dared hope – but to see you again in the flesh, oh, the relief!”

“As always, I only seem to make you worry, Magistrate Guntar.” Darian inclined her head.

“Hardly, my liege – oh! Excuse me!” as someone shoved their way past him and flung their arms around Darian.

“Prince Darian! Prince Darian! It’s really you!” the person squealed, kicking their legs up and down.

“Of all the – !” Magistrate Guntar huffed indignantly, his feathers bristling. “Fia, how many times have I told you to show our liege the appropriate respect!”

“Sorry, sorry!” the person chirped as they let go of Darian. It might’ve been a trick of the light filtering through the medusid, but their skin appeared a dusty pale blue to Theo. Plus they were tiny, barely even clearing Darian’s shoulder, with huge, glistening black eyes and dragonfly wings frantically flapping behind their back.

“It’s no problem,” Darian said with a warm smile, patting the person’s head. Their hair was dark bluish-green and wavy, rather reminding Theo of seaweed. “Good to see you too, Fia.”

More people pushed forward. A huge woman with scarlet dreadlocks bobbed into a clumsy bow before slapping Darian on the back. Someone else ducked beneath her arm, as squat as she was tall, and whose skin was hard and green like jade. She politely curtsied Darian before bustling straight toward Zenith.

“Sir Zenith, are all your systems functioning properly?” she asked in a surprisingly high voice. Just like the rest of her, her hair seemed to be carved from jade, round like a mushroom cap and shading her eyes like a helmet.

“Everything is well. Thank you, Nevy,” Zenith said.

“Good to hear. All the same, I’d like to perform a checkup as soon as I can.” When Zenith nodded, Nevy turned toward Theo.

Even with her eyes hidden, Theo felt her attention sharpen like a dagger. The next thing he knew, she was squeezing his wrists with rock-hard hands and pelting him with questions.

“Are you a human? Oh yes, you can’t be anything else. My, what a strange color your hair is! If you wouldn’t mind, could you tell me everything you know about Earth technology? I hear you have devices called...pa-hones? Would you happen to have one on you?”

“Um, er, ah, uh,” was the best Theo could get out.

Suddenly Nevy’s crushing grip around his wrists vanished. Theo reeled, blinking at the sight of the huge dreadlocked woman dragging Nevy away by the back of herjacket.

“Seriously Nevs, have some tact,” the woman said, shaking her head. She grinned apologetically at Theo. “Sorry about that. Nevy loses all reason when it comes to gadgets. Anyway, I’m Kress, first mate of the Blue Sky. Nice to meetcha.”

“Y-yeah, same here,” Theo stammered. “I’m Theo Hua.”

“My wizard.” To Theo’s surprise, Zenith stepped up to his side. There was no mistaking the possessive pride in his voice.

Theo blushed. Kress grinned wider. “That so? Congratulations, Sir.”

“If you could spare a moment, would you please allow me to examine your pa-hone?” Nevy piped up, though she made no effort at escaping Kress’ grip.

Theo was spared from answering when Darian stepped forward and clapped her hands. Just like that, the bubbling chatter trickled away and all eyes turned toward her. Seeing her like this, proud and confident on the deck of the Blue Sky, Theo thought she’d never looked more in her element.

“Now that we’re all here,” she said, “it looks like some introductions are in order. Everyone, this is the crew of my skycraft, the Blue Sky. And these are the allies I’ve foundon Earth.”

“I’m Amaro.” The tall man with the bandanna stepped forward, flashing a salute. “Captain of this here rig. Welcome aboard, everyone.”

Kress came up by his side, arms behind her head. He was tall, but she outstripped him by at least two heads. “Kress, first mate and weapons master.”

“Nevy, mechanic.” Nevy looked like she was about to say more, but Kress slapped a hand over her mouth.

While Nevy squirmed, the tiny youth darted forward, flapping the ends of their large poncho. “I’m Fia Mare. I’m the ship’s boy, I guess, except I’m not a boy. Not a girl either. Just Fia! Hope we’ll all be friends!”

And here Theo thought he’d never meet anyone more energetic than Sam.

“Welcome, all.” The huge chicken bowed again. “You may address me as Magistrate Guntar, Prince Darian’s first minister.”

Her first minister was a chicken. Well...probably a were-chicken? At any rate, Theo shouldn’t judge.

“How wonderful to meet you all.” Meg took charge on their side, bold as ever. “I’m Meg Ruby.”

Introductions passed around the group. Ryan puffed out his chest as he said his name, but visibly deflated when nobody showed any sign of recognizing it. To Theo’s surprise, Sam didn’t bounce around delivering an introduction to put Fia’s to shame; instead, she practically mumbled her name.

Sam had seemed pretty down these past few days. Guilt squirmed in Theo’s stomach. Well, of course; as exciting as she might have found this at one point, she’d never asked to be here. Theo’s selfishness had dragged her into it.

Soon, he promised. Soon she’d get to go home.

Ryllis was the last to introduce herself, just grunting her name. “Is that everyone?” Darian said, glancing around. “Oh, hold on.” She craned her neck back. “That would be our symbiont, Eulyn.”

Who? Theo followed her gaze up to the center of the medusid’s bell. While the thicker, sturdier tentacles on the outside of the medusid held up the craft, the thinner tentacles were folded up beneath the bell. And – Theo squinted – they seemed to be wrapped around something.

No...someone. A woman, it looked like, ghostly pale and her white hair descending in a curtain around her face.

“What the fuck is that?” Ryan blurted, tactless as ever.

Meg kneed him in the back, but aside from a twitch in his eyebrow Amaro didn’t look offended. “Like the prince said, that’s Eulyn. As the symbiont, she keeps our medusid nice and fed with her Levia. Without her, we wouldn’t be able to go anywhere.”

A faint smile crinkled his dark eyes, at once fond and a little sad. Theo wasn’t sure, but he felt like that smile was as much for the medusid as for Eulyn.

Theo stared at Eulyn, who remained still and silent as if fast asleep. He couldn’t imagine choosing to live a life like that himself.

A scoff cut through the air. Theo lifted his head, alarmed, to see a slender figure leaning against the cabin near the back of the deck.

“Oh, right….” Amaro rubbed the back of his head. “I knew we were missing someone. There you are, Cay.”

The person tossed his head, slate-gray hair swirling around his face. “Welcome back, my liege,” he said, not even looking at Darian, before kicking open a hatch at his feet.

“Cayelci!” Guntar huffed. “Where do you think you’re going? Come back and properly introduce yourself!”

“Yeah, it’s awesome!” Fia cried, pumping their fists. “Look how many new friends we’ve got! The Infernal Legion won’t stand a chance now!”

Sam jerked and gasped softly at that. Darian exchanged an uncomfortable glance with Meg before turning back to Fia. “Well, we’re not all staying. Sam and Ryan need to go home, so first things first we’re taking them to the nearest portal town.”

Sam hung her head. Ryllis moved closer to her, but Cay let out a louder scoff.

“I told you all along we didn’t need wizards, my liege. What use are they if they’re just going to run back to Earth like cowards?”

Though his voice was quiet, the disdain in it sliced like a razor. Then he whirled around, white robes flapping, and disappeared through the hatch.

“Hey! HEY!” Ryan yelled, lunging forward. “What was that? Say that to my face, you – ”

While he raged, Theo turned toward Sam. Should he say something, try to comfort her?

He stepped forward, but before he could speak, Amaro let out a noisy sigh and rubbed the back of his head again. “Sorry about that...that’s just...kind of the way he is. So yeah. That’s Cay, our medic and cook.”

“Never mind him,” Darian said briskly. “Now that we’re all here, we’ve got business to attend to.”

“Yeah, yeah!” Fia jumped up and down. “Prince Darian, you gotta tell us everything you did on Earth!”

Nevy perked up at that. “Oh, yes! I want to know all about pa-hones! And is it true Earth skycraft are called era-plains?”

Well, so far Theo didn’t quite know what to think about the Blue Sky crew, but one thing was clear. There’d never be a boring moment with this bunch.

Do you take drabble requests? I'd love to see your fantastic writing for saint seiya 🥰

adfkjadfnadskns omg! Hahaha I always get so excited to meet new English-speaking Saint Seiya fans, especially if you already like my writing omg.

I'll say it depends on if it's a pairing/concept I'm interested in, and I also haven't had the best writing energy lately. But who knows, the right request might give me just the motivation I need! ^3^ Thanks so much for asking!

[bickwrites]

Just here to say I read Alone Together years ago and I'm so happy to see it again in another form!! It was a stunning read- I couldn't stop thinking about Aramy and how wondrously written his character was for days. I can't imagine how you managed to improve it but I'm really excited to read it again! Cheering you on :)

Omg thank you so much for the wonderful message! I'm really happy and touched that you enjoyed Alone Together so much...that you were thinking about Aramy for days, I can't even, that's like the highest praise I can imagine. I really hope you enjoy Our Secret Storm just as much, if not even more! I would love to hear your thoughts about it if you're reading it~ ^3^

[bickwrites]

What series do you like? Is there any others you might write for?

Hi anon, sorry but I'm not totally sure what you mean? Do you mean series I want to write fanfic for? Or my current writing projects?

If you're talking abou the former, I don't really write fanfic anymore and I thought I was done with fandom for good, but I've gotten obsessed with Saint Seiya lately. Maybe I'll whip up some short drabbles of my OTPs...though idk if I'll be able to summon the energy for even that.

If you mean the latter, I'm currently posting two novels on Tapas. One is The Sky Is Our Fortress, which features a sweet and innocent romance between a shy emo kid and a knight from another world. The other is Our Secret Storm, which is the updated version of my old Magus Verse stories. These stories are where I'm pouring pretty much all my writing energy, so it'd mean a lot to me if you (general you, not just you anon) took a look at them.

Thanks so much for the question and sorry if I misunderstood you in any way ;v;

[bickwrites]

By the way, where can we find Mr. Perfect and the Virgin?

Hi anon, thanks for asking but I've decided to take the story down. I wrote it when I was in a very particular mental space and I feel like it no longer really represents my interests or ability as a writer anymore.

I'm really sorry I can't bring you better news. I know I've been taking down a lot of old stuff lately, but that's because I want to change the direction I'm going and become more serious about my writing. It doesn't mean I'll stop writing, not at all. I'm really happy and flattered that you enjoyed Mr. Perfect and the Virgin, and I hope you'll still find something to enjoy in my future stories too. Thanks so much.

Our Secret Storm - Part I: Alone will be going live on Tapas tomorrow evening, 7/17!

In the land of Senero, all magic users are energos or ministra, dominant or submissive. Kestrel Knight might seem like the perfect energos, but he has a deadly secret: he can perform powerful magic without a bonded partner. When his mother’s death summons him to the royal court, he must work harder than ever to keep his secret safe in this den of scheming nobles. Yet he can’t help but find himself drawn to Aramy Basquiale, the Prince’s Consort. With a force of will belying his delicate appearance, Aramy is unlike any ministra Kestrel has ever met. And he may well be hiding secrets just as dangerous as Kestrel’s. As Kestrel grows closer to Aramy, he faces a difficult choice: can he truly trust the mysterious ministra, or is he playing right into the hands of the craftiest schemer of them all?

Warnings: Violence, character death, explicit sexual content (including depictions of assault), infidelity, abusive relationships, BDSM themes, court politics with all the accompanying nasty intrigue, and morally ambiguous protagonists who harm and manipulate each other as well as other characters. Explicit chapters will always be rated mature and list specific warnings at the start.

I still can’t quite believe this is happening, after all these years slaving away at editing/revising. I really couldn’t have done it without the support of all the original readers on Fictionpress, who gave me faith and encouraged me to finish the first draft all those years ago. Special thanks to @lachiffon for drawing this amazing cover! 

Please do take a look at Our Secret Storm if you’re interested, and it’d mean the world to me if you decided to like, comment, and/or subscribe.  I’m looking forward on setting off on this journey with all of you. ^w^

[bickwrites]

Our Secret Storm announcement

Oh? Who could these handsome boys be? 

Consider this a little preview of the beautiful cover for Our Secret Storm that @lachiffon​ drew for me. And yes, this means the actual book is going to come very, very soon!

Our Secret Storm is the revised version of the story originally titled “Alone, Together” on Fictionpress. I’ve been editing it on and off for the past few years and now I’m finally ready to share it. While I originally said that I was going to publish it as a stand-alone novel, I’ve ultimately decided that I feel more comfortable serializing my writing. Therefore, I’m going to be posting Our Secret Storm chapter-by-chapter on Tapas. 

Furthermore, because the original story was extremely long, I’m going to split it into two parts. Once I’m finished serializing the first part, I do intend to offer it for purchase in ebook form. The ebook will have extra short stories and stuff, but the free-to-read Tapas version will always stay up. 

For long-time fans, I hope no one minds if it’ll take a little while longer to see the story in book form. I’ve made a lot of changes, so the new version on Tapas should have plenty of fresh surprises for you. This also means I’ll be taking down “Alone, Together” on Fictionpress, along with the sequel “Curseborn.” I know this might be a bit of a blow to people who’ve enjoyed those stories on that site, but I’m committed to moving my writing presence to Tapas and I promise that all my Magus Verse stories will eventually show up there, and in much better-written, higher-quality form.

For now, Our Secret Storm - Part 1: Alone will be going live on July 17, and I’m aiming on updating it weekly. I’m really looking forward to sharing Kestrel’s and Aramy’s new journey with everyone, and I hope you’ll all come along for the ride!

All his life, Theo has had weird dreams about flying cities and magic diagrams. But when he's awake, his biggest problem is working up the courage to start his own emo band. At least until he stumbles into an arena straight out of his dreams where a knight is battling a dragon. Somehow Theo escapes with not only his life, but a brand new magical contract with the knight. Now the knight, Sir Zenith, is going around calling Theo his wizard and saying it's his duty to serve as Theo's familiar. It all sounds like a sick joke to a kid who doesn't even have the guts to sing in public. Too bad he doesn't have time to adjust. An army of demons is after him, and they might share a connection to his past. If he wants answers - and to survive - Theo will have to trust Zenith and find the strength to fight alongside him.

I’m excited to announce The Sky Is Our Fortress is finally live! This is a passion project I’ve spent pretty much the last year working on, so I’d be beyond thrilled if other people enjoyed reading it as much as I have writing it! ^v^ It’s basically a worlds-spanning fantasy adventure featuring a romance between a shy emo kid and an adorkably serious knight at its heart.

There won’t be any explicit content, but the story will eventually touch on heavy topics like abuse, unhealthy relationships, slavery, and war. Particularly intense episodes will have mature ratings. 

You can find it on Tapas and Webnovel. I’ll try to aim for daily updates, or at the very least every other day.

[bickwrites]

Announcement time!

Hello, everyone! Guess what, I’m still alive, and I’m about to become a lot more alive in the near future!

Though I’d hoped to start posting it last year, 2020 obviously had other plans ;v; But it’s a new year, and a new start, and I’m happy to announce that I’m finally ready to debut a new story.

On April 16, The Sky Is Our Fortress will go live on Tapas and Webnovel! 

Here’s the summary:

All his life, Theo has had weird dreams about flying cities and magic diagrams. But when he's awake, his biggest problem is working up the courage to start his own emo band. At least until he stumbles into an arena straight out of his dreams where a knight is battling a dragon.

Somehow Theo escapes with not only his life, but a brand new magical contract with the knight. Now the knight, Sir Zenith, is going around calling Theo his wizard and saying it's his duty to serve as Theo's familiar. It all sounds like a sick joke to a kid who doesn't even have the guts to sing in public.

Too bad he doesn't have time to adjust. An army of demons is after him, and they might share a connection to his past. If he wants answers - and to survive - Theo will have to trust Zenith and find the strength to fight alongside him.

Basically if you like JRPGs, old school shoujo fantasy, magical soulbonding, and sweet slow-burn BL romance, this story should be for you! I actually sort of view it as an update of Weaponmaster, dealing with a lot of similar themes and relationship dynamics. But hopefully a lot better written.

On that note, yeah, I’m confirming it: Weaponmaster is dead. I’ll keep it up for a week or two after The Sky Is Our Fortress goes live, in case anyone wants to save it. But yeah, I started Weaponmaster way back when I was in college and I feel like I’ve grown past it by now. It’s just not representative of my skill and interests as a writer anymore. I hope that if you enjoyed Weaponmaster, you might also find something to love in The Sky Is Our Fortress. 

And yeah, I’m no longer going to use my Fictionpress account. I had a good run but from now on I’m going to make Tapas and Webnovel my main writing platforms. They’re a lot more active and will give me the chance to potentially monetize my writing as well. My username on both sites is also bickazer.

Though I’ll take down Weaponmaster, I still will keep up my Magus Verse stories because idk where else to put them while I’m preparing for publication...which is...totally...gonna happen....sometime............;;;;;;;;;;;;;  But meanwhile you can check out The Sky Is Our Fortress, which will update daily for at least the first month.

Thanks to all my readers for supporting me across the years, and I hope you’ll follow me on the next stage of my storytelling journey.

Best and lots of love, bickazer

[bickwrites]

I'm excited to see this blog again! I thought it had been deleted. Thank you so much for the kind response, and I'll be sure to contact you on Ao3 once I get a fic written. And I'm excited to hear you might be publishing on Tapas, it's a great app. I'll happily throw all the ink I can at you in support.

Aww I’m happy to hear from you again ^v^ No I didn’t delete, just renamed it haha. Omg I’m so excited to see your fic! (No pressure though, it just tickles me so much that someone would wanna write fic for my silly stories). And aaa thanks so much, hopefully I’ll be able to get something up on Tapas before this year ends. 

[bickwrites]

I’ve changed this blog’s name (meanderwrites -> bickwrites) to better connect to my main username bickazer. I’ll try to be more active on here, though I’ve pretty much given up on Tumblr, since against all reason there are still wonderful people on here who want to talk to me and I feel bad about ignoring you guys all the time because of my flakiness.

I’m still working on editing Our Secret Storm, but I’ve also begun working on a new story that I hope to serialize on Tapas and Webnovel. It’s a heavily anime-inspired urban fantasy that’s kind of an updated take on some of the central themes in Weaponmaster (which I’m sorry to report is well and truly dead).  I’m super pumped for it and I hope I can get it out soon. For now, thanks to everyone for your support and I apologize for the thousandth time for being a flake. =/

[bickwrites]

Hi! It's the occasional lurker again (BJD's), Midnight for sanity's sake lol, anyways I had a couple questions about doing a fanfic or two of your work. I recently made an Ao3 in an effort to get myself writing again and I just saw that you're ok with fics, so I was wondering what you're comfortable with exactly? I'm not sure I could do your main characters justice so how would you feel about rando characters based in your world?

Agggh I hope you’re still around and sorry to keep you waiting for so long! I’m barely on Tumblr anymore but still it should give me email notifications when I get asks...this stupid busted site. >:( 

Anyway I’m absolutely fine with fic of any kind! I seriously don’t mind at all, even if you wanna do guro scat porn involving some one-off side characters lol. I’m just flattered that anyone likes my work enough to do want to do fic for it! ^v^ Good luck with your writing adventures! I’d be super excited to read your fic if/when you do it~ And again I’m so so so sorry for taking so long to reply to this ;_;
