I write some fanfiction on AO3. Follow me there if you like my work. I appreciate any and all constructive criticism. I will be posting updates here as well as random art and inspirational quotes.

Good morning/day/afternoon/evening/night.

I have just finished rewriting the first chapter of Long Live the King.

Both versions of the fic will be taken down from AO3 towards the end of the week and the chapter I just wrote will be put up over the weekend.

Again, if you are a fan of the fic how it currently is, I recommend downloading it or finding a way to save it as I will be removing the Long Live the King fics soon.

fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes

May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

Hello, everyone.

I just found out that my fics were illegally scraped for AI use. Because of this, I will be making a massive overhaul of my fics over the next few months. There are going to be some changes to my profile and dashboard on AO3. I will also be changing the viewing settings so that only people with an AO3 account can read my works.

If you are a fan of my works, I recommend downloading the current versions now before I make them unavailable.

Every fic is going to be rewritten. This means some of the earlier versions of the Long Live series will be deleted along the road.

I apologize for the inconvenience this causes. Please understand that I am trying to take measures to protect my art.

I hope you all have a great rest of your day/night.

What's your favorite type of AU to explore?

I'm very partial to role-reversals/roleswaps, myself-I think it's a lot of fun to explore.

(I'm also weirdly fond of what I call "Canon Compliant AU's", where the canon itself stays exactly the same but a lot of the background lore/worldbuilding is changed or shifted. It's less changing canon, and more recontextualizing it.)

One I worked on was gender-bent, but only for the main character. Honestly, that was a lot of fun. I also like exploring edgy AUs (take something not edgy and make it edgy. For example: Undertale to Underfell) and I like Modern AUs.

I don't know if I have a favorite out of those three to be honest. I'd say they're tied.

Hello, everyone! I want to give an update since it's been a while.

I apologize that I haven't posted on AO3 in a while. My job has been extremely stressful and I got an extremely bad case of burn out.

Thankfully, I have found a new job that hopefully won't be as stressful. I am also taking more time to myself to hopefully not get burnt out as quickly.

I am currently making steps to better my writing process. I want to write and I have so many ideas. It's just hard to actually sit down and type things out right now. I want to make sure my stories are fun and make sense.

Thank you to all who have left comments on my AO3 stories. They mean the world to me.

As always, when I start updating again, I will post an announcement here. Thank you again for all of the support you've given me. It truly means a lot.

Reblog if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, transgender or a supporter.

[nimurea]

This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.

[noumenios]

please i hate going to helpol blogs, only to see random queerphobic sentiment of any kind.

please reblog if;

you love your trans brothers, sisters, and siblings

you support aces and aros

you support 'weird' and 'contradictory' labels [i.e. lesboy/turigirl/etc]

you support mspec lesbians and gays

you support multigender folks

you support agender folks

you support all nonbinary & genderqueer identities

you support neopronouns and xenogenders

you support microlabels

i don't like to talk about my specific identity, but i personally use contradictory labels! i contain multitudes and that's wonderful!

we don't gatekeep the queers here.

unfollow if you feel differently

Adam Gontier is back in Three Days Grace??????? Huh??????

If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.

[jae-felidae]

Oh hey! Haven’t seen this in forever! Didn’t reblog it when it came across me before, not gonna skip it this time, I need some good vibes.

[horizon-walker-013]

Hello everyone!

A few updates: Long Live the King and Long Live the Hero are being put on hold for now because I am currently rewriting them.

I wasn't happy with the length of the story, I was noticing too many plot holes, and overall I wasn't happy with it. Hopefully, with the rewriting, I can feel a little more confident about it.

Long Live the King just had its first 10 chapters rewritten and are posted on AO3. It's part of the Long Live series.

Your Violent, Vibrant, Violet Hue will be getting updated soon. Please hang on tight as the rewrites for the Long Live stories is first priority.

I will be trying to get a consistent update schedule soon, but life is really hectic right now. Please bear with me as I try to get everything sorted out.

Thank you all for your kindness and support.

[horizon-walker-013]
