Y’all I gotta be honest, all of my IF related projects are on hiatus for indeterminate future.

Since I published last post here I moved, switched jobs 3 times, grandfather died, I go by different name since I came out as trans, adopted a dog and said dog needed surgery soooo yeah, priorities changed, IF was not a priority and here we are. I’m not deleting anything since I might come back, but don’t get hopes up.

Enix out!

hi, i'm alive

Short version: for now, Sinners and Saints + The Numbers Game is still on hiatus; they will be back in January tho.

longer version: I decided to step away from Tumblr for a while as it was getting to me too often + I had a lot of things to balance in my life. My break from Tumblr is still on, I'll maybe sporadically come here but no promises.

Since the end of July I'm working full time, and on weekends I have school, hence why my break got very, very long. When I had the time, I had no energy or motivation to even log on or write more than some random, short stories or outlines of stories.

A family member of mine is battling cancer (for a second time), but it seems to be going well as of now.

And I, personally, am feeling better mentally. Life's stable finally, work is relatively stable, school is stable. There's some motivation, too.

I'm taking my time with the come-back though. I'm painting, my job provides mental health resources (which I'm happily using), and those silly, random short stories I mentioned before? I decided to give them a go. Writing for nothing more but fun is, well, fun.

I'm extremely thankful to have such a heartwarming and caring community and I thank everyone for all the messages, I truly appreciate every single one of them.

So, with the little life update, I gift to you this crumb, one of the silly, random, short stories which I decided to turn into a silly little game.

It's by no means a standard IF. It's a little horror story, for the spooky season. A little 'hi i'm not dead' from me.

So, I'm not fully back, but I'm getting there. Love you all, Lin <3

yo for the record if you put something in my inbox and i never respond it’s not that i didn’t like it or read it it’s that i very very often see messages and go ‘oh i should respond to that’ and then i fucking forget until it’s like. been enough time to be weird

[linwritesif]

ah yes, the specific type of disappointment when the internet post about disabilities and terms connected with them takes such a sharp turn it’s actually turning ableist

[linwritesif]

Congratulations on the new job, I hope everything goes well!

thank you! its a bit chaotic right now but as of next week i'll have more stable shifts and get some time to finish up Chapter 2 of SaS hopefully and answer some asks <3

i started the new job and only thing i have time for right now is dying

[braxiatel]

I love you tragedy I love you corruption arcs I love you doomed relationships I love you character succumbing to their fatal flaw I love you codependency I love you characters doomed to die from the start I love you road to hell paved with good intentions

What does the red flags warn against?

Unsavory characteristics. For instance, Céline is very possessive of her Harbinger and wouldn’t hesitate to kill anyone that tried to take you from her (barring her brother).

They’re mainly just a warning to Readers that tell you certain things that will transpire on those routes aren’t healthy and shouldn’t be considered such. It also gives you a fair warning to avoid said romance routes if you choose to do so.

[linwritesif]

love me some red flags since vast majority of IFs seemingly center around more 'green flag' type of characters and routes~

[linwritesif]

by the way that painting i was doing?

kind of is done?

idk what it is at this point, a moon, saturn, an ominous egg or what but it’s done, i’m not touching it cause i will ruin it

[illegal-wall-dragons]

Every character i ever write will inevetably be neuro divergent coded because i can not for the life of me figure out how the fuck neuro typical people function.

[ingenio-academy-if]

Ya’ll, I forgot to turn off the rating thing on my itch.io for Ingenio.

I just looked at it today and saw that apparently it has TWO ratings, curious, I decided to take a look.

MAYBE MY GAME IS MEANT FOR YOU THEN, BUDDY!! 

Also whoever gave me 5 stars is the real MVP

[linwritesif]

genuinely curious why the person rated the game poorly when 1) the game isn't even out yet 2) the person recognises they are not the target audience?

it's about as absurd as me rating dog food saying i can't eat that so it's 2/10

anyway, i'm sorry you have to deal with this

[thenumbersgameif]

i was madly in love with Five until i learned they sleep with socks. i'm heartbroken. betrayed. how could they do this to me.

Listen. Their socks are cute. And colorful. It adds to the charm. I'm sure you can negotiate some compromise--

[solangewrite]

I sleep with socks. Sometimes, but it’s really small socks. I usually wear them when I put cream for my feet

[thenumbersgameif]

hold the hell up-- socks... on creamed feet? (it sounds so weird but i mean like, cream put on feet, is there a word for it??? either way, you terrify me)

[solangewrite]

LMAO I don’t know how to say it, but if I don’t put socks the cream will go on the bed… I’d rather have my socks on than have my bed with cream… :D
