“I want to feel it…deeper,” Yami said with a growl, clawing his hands around the backs of Seto’s head to get a grip through all the slippery sheets of hair. “And faster, like you want to—”
Bend you half? I’ll fucking do it! Seto thought deliriously as he let out a hiss and stood up so suddenly, Yami’s voice caught in his chest and he was thrown down on the bed, cheek-first, so much that his neck strained, and he was filled in one solid motion, his body shuddering at the rough stimulation, and his vision brightened when Seto hovered above him, his blue eyes narrowed prettily while they connected over and over again at a grueling pace, with hands dragging down each other’s bodies followed by stinging bites landing on whoever could manage to get ahold of flesh first, and Yami, his legs weak from the earlier workout, gave up after struggling for a bit and let Seto clamp his teeth down on his shoulder and thrust viciously into him, making his hole clench and pulse with joy when something hot and wet rushed up inside him, and he threw his head back to laugh, feeling Seto’s teeth travel down to his nipple to give it a lewd swirl with his tongue before a cold bite landed there too.
Pulling out slowly, Seto fell into the bed beside Yami, his chest heaving as he slowly caught his breath, and Yami had draped himself over his leg, getting semen all down his thigh, clearly not caring.
Lifting his hand tiredly, Seto ran a cleaning spell down their lower bodies first before bringing the bubble of water up to his chest, jumping in fright and accidentally dropping the bubble of dirty semen water all over their chests when the door opened suddenly with a magical bang! and Mai was standing in the doorway, gaping at them.
Soaking wet and furious, Yami lifted his head to shout at Mai, while Mai shouted back at the same time, giving Seto a throbbing headache.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING—”
“MAI, GET OUT!”
Seto’s teeth ached at their combined volume, and he hastily managed to clean them again while Yami and Mai held a shouting match, with Yami still in the nude and Mai red-faced, but determined to hold her ground.
Hey, how’s it going?
I love your fics so much! I’m a huge Prideshipping fan, and your fics totally quenched my thirst. I can't even express how grateful I am for everything you’re doing for us. Thank you so much!
I’ve read your modern AU fics, but I really love 'I Am Just a Poor and Starving Artist'—it holds such a special place in my heart. That fic was honestly everything I wanted to read, and I think it might be my all-time favorite.
I was actually thinking the other day about suggesting this to you—I’ve always been a fan of canon-compliant fics. I just love the idea of imagining how things might’ve played out if Seto and Atem were an actual couple in the manga/anime. And while I have fun with the ship by analyzing their moments and interpreting their scenes through my own lens, I’d love to see, like, a rewritten version where Seto/Atem is a thing while the story’s events unfold.
I was wondering if you'd be up for writing something like that—keeping this idea in mind. I really appreciate your perspective on them. Of course, this is just a suggestion, just something I thought might be interesting to you.Please do not feel obliged, nor do I mean to imply that. I love your writing, and I’m super grateful for everything you share with us!
hi anon!
thank you so much for your kind message. It made me so happy to read this! i love that story too and im so glad it speaks to you. thank you for seeing my effort. i really enjoy writing this couple so im happy it makes you want to read more about them.
about your prompt: if you have a specific scene you have in mind, we could discuss it in dm if you feel comfortable coming out of anon mode! we can talk about it more in depth because it sounds like a super longfic idea if you're suggesting we go through it (alll, the entire series written from start to finish?) with them as a couple? (am i understanding that correctly?)
much love and happy reading,
Ugli
How do you write long multi-chapter fics without losing steam or motivation?
Hey guys!
Been a while since I made a post answering all the FAQ’s in my inbox, and this is the one I get the most, so here goes my answer/advice:
▽ structure and continuity
(and i still struggle with this lmao its an uphill climb)
1) outline or map out your story path.
if it drags and you find yourself getting BORED with your writing or where the story is going, its time to stop, step back, and evaluate.
completely write out the storyline in short-hand nonsense as fast as possible, because its for you only, so go back to fill in the details later. if you want to see what MY outlines look like...... -embarassmentttttt-
Here’s a screencap from underwater chrysalis.
if you’ve read that story, you can probably recognize this scene was an entire chapter, but it was 5 nonsense sentences in my outline.
2) if you can sit down for X hours and write out the outline from start to end (yes, end of the story) then you have a solid skeleton to polish up :D
3) don’t worry about chapter splitting just yet. get it all out first
▽ Marathon time
1) set aside time for yourself to write it out.
Find time for it at least once a week or once a day if you can manage that!
DON’T leave it sitting for 2+ weeks--unless that’s your creative process--and if it is, and you recognize you get stuck here, leaving the fic alone for more than 2 weeks = abandoning the fic?? then proceed to this step→
go back to it and read it over and over, right up until the point where you stopped, ask yourself questions about where the characters are going (refer to your outline)/ why the characters are doing X scene ...etc (is there tension? is this part boring? why have you stopped writing? tired? take a nap:)
2) know when to ignore (writing) advice.
and i wish someone had told me this when i first started marathon fic-writing.
advice is great but its not a cure-all and maybe you’re exhausted from trying everyone’s suggestions. literally you do you, but keep an open mind to learn along the way.
3) if you run into a problem, like wanting to change an ENTIRE scene that will affect the ending of your story, stop writing and go back to your outline. you’re wasting your own time this way. write to get to an ending.
4) know that there are formulas to long, captivating stories. its like a curve that goes up and down. (find a formula that works for you!)
for me, it’s:
scene start
tension
scene escalating tension
resolve tension but then another conflict
+ 2 conflict + 1 romance = long 3 chapter scene :D
scene resolving 1 conflict, romance + 3 yay!
scene adding to conflicts and romance above
tension resolution?
another tension or romance resolve?
which slowly helps taper to an end (which i still struggle with)
5) have fun! you’re exploring this character, this universe, don’t get too stuck up your own ass about stuff and let things go. if you finished a scene and re-read it, hate it, don’t give yourself crap about it. if you’re happy with it one day and unhappy with it another day, figure out why or just let it go.
Your goal is to write as much as possible to finish your story to the outline you wrote. if you get hung up on the stuff in the middle, you’ll never reach the finish line.
▽ I’ve finished my multi-chapter my pile of crap. Now what?
1) don’t look at it, don’t even think about it. congratulate yourself and go to the beach :D get yourself a coffee and socially-distance-hang-out with your friends
2) 1 - 3 weeks later, re-read it ALL with fresh eyes. don’t tell your friends about it, don’t link it anywhere for feedback. it’s still ALL YOU right now.
3) re-read it round 1: edit it grammatically and for bulk. if you still hate that random interaction you added in, delete it entirely and set it aside. fix all grammar issues and add to more descriptions if some are lacking.
4) re-read it round 2: a week later with your own fresh eyes, make sure everything flows. did you say character X had a green shirt in ch 3 but in ch 4 they were wearing a blue shirt? fix that :O might be a genuine mistake, either you forgot or got up to leave your fic for 4 days and (forgot)
5) re-read again round 3: a week after that, read it again and find it for more errors, add more flow if some scenes have a choppy transition, and start to split it into chapters. Find natural breaks in your writing (or cliff hangers!) and cut them there.
6) recruit a friend! Ask someone you’re ok with baring your soul to and make them read your slightly less steaming pile of crap, which is now a polished turd. hopefully your friend will tell you it IS a polished turd and is OK for posting, or that you still mentioned green shirt character is wearing a blue shirt (again) in ch 56 and you missed it :P
7) post and run, or save it to re-read again 6 months later
i’ve been doing the post and run thing for a while if im medium-proud of my shiny turd, or if im really insecure about it, i’ll sit on it for even a YEAR before i even breathe about it. its not that i hate it, its that i feel it could be better and if i’m continuously writing during that time, I can go back to look at it with fresh(er) eyes.
▽ things to think about / stuff to ask yourself while writing:
- why am i tired (of this, of it?)
know yourself and know your limits. if you’re tired (physically, of writing) learn to differentiate that from being mentally tired.
- who are you writing for?
a friend’s bday gift fic?
submission into Fanfic Award-Winning Novel Writers Club?
A novel manuscript to Random House? Nanowrimo?
your fandom rare-pair discord server? ....yourself??
and then figure out your motivations for the tone of your writing :D
- i suck at writing X (a violent action scene, smut, small-talk in elevator scene), so i’ll just skip it...
no. if you think your story needs it, make your best attempt at writing it and then go back to edit it. you’ll be happy you pushed yourself to write it.
- i’ve never done X (been to a hotspring in Japan, gone hiking in extreme weather, gone on a blind date) how would i know what it feels like?
Try your best to envision it or use the wonders of the internet to learn about it. Research is your best friend to express realism in your writing :D
aaaaaaaaaaaand that’s all i got for now :O
*btw you know what works for you as a creative mind, this is all stuff that works for me and I hope you found it helpful!
thank you for reading this super long post, and feel free to PM me if you need a “get me unstuck” buddy in your writing process :D

thank you so much for your reading support! It means a lot to me when someone reaches out to tell me my words have touched their heart <3
Hey Ugli! When you write your fanfics, how much of the story do you already have completed before you start posting it? And are you a plotter or pantser?
!!! thank you for this question! it actually depends on the story!
sometimes i will have the entire story completed and then post according to my schedule, and sometimes i will have a story where i’ll be writing it every night to post at my usual time once a week :D
<3 hugs!! i appreciate the interest sososos much :D
Hi everyone! Thanks for all the love in my inbox, anon or otherwise!
If you’re wondering why i haven’t replied to your ask, its because i’ve seen many of the same question(s), so I’ve decided to round them all up here instead of answering them individually and spamming your feed :O
HERE are all the other asks from earlier in the year/month just in case you wanna read more!
+++++ OK START! +++++
Q: regarding your current stories, why are you updating UNDERWATER CHRYSALIS weekly instead of bi-weekly? Is the vampire story abandoned?
A: no, please don’t worry! I’ll never abandon a fic unless i explicitly say so (and the word “abandoned” will be in the summary, or even the title!) The vampire story is still very much alive, but there has just been more interest in the mermaid story because of where we are in the plot.
Lots of readers have been sending me private messages or anon asks (or heck, just comments under the story) asking for it to be updated weekly, and i hear you, so i do!
Q: i can’t stand that in your mermaid fic, those two are never gonna meet. are they ever gonna meet?
A: yes of course they are! im gunning for a happy ending where they do end up together, so dont worry, no matter how bleak or desperate things seem to get, those two WILL be together! as for when, the answer is “soon, please keep reading to find out!! ;D”
Q: how is your rabbit? is your bunny ok?
A: HE’S DOING GREAT! He had a surgery (again) recently, and is recovering from it! here’s a pic of him being cool:
nat geo should consider hiring me as their new wildlife photographer because i sure can take cool, crisp, beautiful action shots of nature just like above. award worthy. medal pleeease
Q: what are your plans for new stories? please please i wanna know!
A: thank you for the interest! As usual, at the end of every story, I will put out a poll with summaries and you will get to vote on what you wanna read next, so just keep an eye out for that! I’ll post it here too, dont worry!
Q: when are you gonna update? ?? i hit refresh all day waiting?!?
Q: what time do you plan on updating?!?
A: every Wednesday, PST, between 9PM and 11PM
Q: are you dating anyone heh
A: ok i get a few of these every couple weeks or so, which makes me think its only been 1 person spam-asking me this? the answer is no? come out of anon pls and just PM me, but im not looking to date anyone rn cuz i’ve ✌️
got🥺
