It feels like this every time I write a fic
my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."
Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.
What happened to the master post for faq and the demo? Can you post it again?
I actually don't have a master post made yet; I should probably do that sometime soon just to be safe.
As for the FAQ for CoMH, you can find it here. The demo you may find here. They are both available if you go to my actual blog (just as a heads up). :)
I came to warn you about dashingdon and was so glad to see others were quicker than me and you already have your game up again! It's one of my faves <3
Thank you to everyone (including you!) who came to warn me about this! I really appreciate it!
Hi !
I just want to say ur demo was SOOO GOOD , Donni omg 😍😍 I was so happy when MC got w him but lowk sad when the demo ended right after they got together
But anyway I was just wondering is the demo finished or are you going to continue writing it? Please please please say yes …. but no pressure 🥹
Oh goodness, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Donni is one of my favorite characters of all time, and writing him is always a pleasure!
I'd honestly love to go back to it one day, if I'm being honest, but it will most likely be in a different format. I've been experimenting with Twine like many other IF authors have been over the last few years, although I'm not very good with it yet!
Ahhh your back! I always go back to the demo and replayed it. It's been one of my favs and honestly a comfort for me. I do hope to see more of the world and characters, and really don't mind waiting for it!
Im sorry life has been so shitty to you :(( I'm sending you and your family lots of love and hugs!
Thanks for this! Big hugs to you too! :)
Announcing the second Queer Vampire IF Jam!
This is a month-long game jam that will run from January 10 - February 20th, 2025. The goal of this jam is to create more interactive fiction games about queer vampires, focusing both on queer relationships and queer experiences as told through a vampiric narrative.
Check out the entries from last year here!
JAM RULES:
Your project must focus on queer characters and vampires. Queer relationships, romantic or platonic, as well as other queer experiences, whether gay, lesbian, bisexual, ace, aro, trans and nonbinary - this is an inclusive jam.
You can write from a human or vampire perspective (or both!)
This jam will accept any medium, so long as the work is an Interactive Fiction.
This jam will accept adult content as well as games covering heavy & uncomfortable topics, but please be sure to properly list trigger warnings either in-game or on the game page.
Entries that promote any kind of bigotry will not be accepted.
Games should not include any AI generated content.
You can submit as many entries as you'd like.
There is no language requirement; we will accept games in any language.
You are allowed to start working on your project early! That's why I'm announcing it now. This jam is unranked and it's not a contest, this is just for fun.
Submissions open midnight, January 10th EST. They'll close February 20th at 11:59pm EST.
Join the jam here!
hosted by me and @nyehilismwriting
Additional questions we got asked frequently last year, for clarification:
Do Visual Novels count?
Yes!
What is Interactive Fiction?
Personally, I find interactive fiction hard to define, and I’m not interested in policing it, so as long as it’s recognizably interactive fiction - ie, the game has a narrative focus primarily with text, and the player can interact (whether that be with direct choices, clicking through links, or allowing the player to choose how to move around and interact with the world/the game like in bitsy) then it counts. Parsers, visual novels, choose-your-own-adventures are some of the popular examples of IF, but there are plenty that don’t fall within any category. Check out the IF tag on itch.io and you can see just how varied it is.
Does it have to be horror?
No, any genre is accepted!
Migrating CoMH to CoGDemos.ink
Hey guys! I got some asks in my inbox warning me about Dashingdon being shut down at the end of the month, and I'm currently working on getting CoMH moved so that it will still be playable, don't worry! Sorry that it wasn't done sooner, things have been Hectic Here!
Update; I can't even get into my Dashingdon account for whatever reason, but thankfully I have all of my files backed up on a drive. The only bad thing is I think I've lost the short and fun crack game that I made for my best friend this way. :(
I have got the game uploaded! You may go here to play it; I will be updating my previous links/posts when I get the time! Thanks for everyone who warned me! <3

“you’re a writer, right?”
me, staring at the one sentence i’ve managed to add in the last hour and the 12 open tabs on the specifics of shoes in 1845 Ireland: In theory.
Me in the shower: Comes up with the most poignant dialogue and scenarios of my OC's and backstory that makes the character complex and fit seamlessly into an established canon series.
Me literally 10 minutes later on my Google Docs: .....oh words....they exist maybe...
TLD Complete Ch.1 Release!
You can play the full first chapter here! Have fun, and please report any bugs or issue to me!
i don't "date" and i don't "chill" and i don't "hang out." i make pacts. i swear oaths. i forge unbreakable bonds. this makes me a cool breezy person to take on road trips et cetera
to everyone who has tagged this "paladin." yes correct, you understand.
god this scene i haven’t written would be so emotional if it came with 50k words of context i also haven’t written
*Peeks My Head In Here*
So, hello, lovelies! 🥹 I know I said I'd update you when I could and I'm sorry for disappearing for so long, but things have been very hectic here. I'll give you a more detailed explanation under the cut, for those of you who are interested.
Everything below being said, I have been speaking with my friends and someone else who is in the IF community about coming back for realsies this time, and I think I'm going to start working on another project as a sort of mini-therapy for myself. It's going to be shorter than Calling of Metem's Hollow is by a long shot, but I will give you guys a little teaser for what I have planned shortly.
I have already started overhauling my blog a bit to make way for other games, but you'll still have access to everything CoMH related, I promise! 😘 Since I am StormheartGames after all.
I also just want you guys to know I have missed this community a lot. It's been hard being away from you all and from being away from writing in a larger sense. I do run D&D for some of my friends (oh god, do I run D&D) but that's not quite the same as creative writing, haha. Anyway, look out for more posts from me. 😘
