 @jaybarou said:  I’d like someone to help me with this guy who fancies me. I explained I am ace, I might be demi, and romantically interested in girls but I am not interested in you, and his answer pretty much amounted to: don’t worry, I’m stubborn, I will wait. 

I’ll add this to the list, but given that we’re in the middle of a story arc, I’d rather address this now than have you wait weeks for an indirect answer.

If this guy actually cared about you and respected you, he would back off when you tell him “No.” As is, he is being creepy. He expressed interest, you said “No” and anything beyond respectfully taking a step back and remaining friends (if that were the case. If you aren’t friends, then that’s even more creepy) is not okay.

He may be under the mistaken opinion that pursuit in the face of rejection is romantic. It isn’t. It’s predatory. And he needs to come to terms with your “NO.” and move on.

If you can be direct with him and still be safe in that situation, I would advise you to do so. If not, Bring along support so that you can be safe and have back up, or cut off all ties together if that is an option. I may not have all of the information, but this sort of behaviour is a red flag and it’s best to cut that sort of thing off at the pass before it escalates.

Meanwhile I choose to say they are all asexual, but love sensuality and aesthetics.

What WIP has your attention right now and why? Fic or original

Today?  There are two: my Witcher longfic, which is a bit of editing away from being ready to update, and the original novel I started three years ago, wrote furiously for, and then set aside when I changed jobs and life got super weird.

The fic is slow, but I have an outline, and I’m a couple of chapters ahead in terms of writing, but since it’s multi-chapter the editing process is a little more involved than just cleaning up my grammar and replacing brackets, since I have to keep an eye on pacing and chapter length and internal consistency between chapters.

The novel is self-indulgent nonsense, but it’s also a joy to write, when the words come easily.

jaybarou replied to your post: I occasionally think about translating podcasts...

Which language? I’m doing some translating experiments too!

French! The TMA episode would be french from France, but I’m Canadian so I’d be inclined to use International French; no localized slang from Quebec or Paris you have to look up if you’re not from there. Might give it some more serious thought, it’s a chance to explore creative writing without the burden of coming up with a story all by yourself.
