[a-kind-of-merry-war]

The way I’m sort of looking at the “oh god I didn’t do anything this year” thing is like, it’s not just me that didn’t do anything. I haven’t fallen behind, we’ve all collectively stopped. Y’know? 💕

Yeah see this is what I’m trying to think too, although irrational brain is irrational. I get this feeling most years, to be honest, but this year I’m trying to give myself more leeway as, ya know, global pandemic (amongst... other things).

I think it’s tricky as part of me knows that this is extenuating circumstances and me feeling a little stagnated is perfectly understandable - and natural - but also I look back at the past eight months of not really being able to do anything and think... hmm welp look at all that free time I just wasted.

The mood is: pictures you can hear.

I just read your story about the duke and the maid, and I totally fell in love! That’s such an amazing story! Have you by any chance written more in that verse? 😃

Hi @stitchedopen, thank you so much!

I haven’t written anything more about the duke and the maid, or even another story set in the same world, and I don’t often write in second person like that, but you can check out some of my other bits of writing on Tumblr here (though I haven’t updated it in a while…I should get on that).

If you enjoyed the duke and the maid story, you might be interested in one of my current WIPs. I’m not really good about keeping all you lovelies updated on my progress with such stories, but my current WIPs are:

Eloise (it’s slow going, I’m afraid, but I’m still working on it, I promise!)

An urban supernatural story about a young woman in university and the child ghost inhabiting her home

the Witch and the Wolf

Myrna’s lost her parents and been driven from her home, but she’s strong and resourceful, and coming into a power she doesn’t fully understand. Darren is the local lord, but in a world that frowns on magic, he has a dangerous secret. Surrounded by enemies, blackmailers, and superstitious neighbours, Myrna and Darren find that a friend can make things so much easier…and so much more complicated…

the Queen’s Consort

Cal is the third child of a minor noble who makes his living as a healer. He doesn’t much care for “city nobles,” but when a mysterious woman needs him to marry her so she can claim her inheritance, he gets thrown into the political deep end. Though angry at her half-truths and manipulation, he can’t deny there are sparks flying. Only, with the beginning of a war, there’s more than his pride, or even his happiness, at stake here…

the Little Traveller

When Leora was a young girl, an accident killed her mother and damaged her spine. Her father joined the Travellers –a guild of travelling merchants– and became a peddler of false hope and snake-oil cures. Though it’s (almost) the only life she’s known, Leora longs to set out on her own and discover the world for herself. An encounter with a Fae turns into an offer that will give her the ability to follow her dreams, but could mean the loss of everything important to her if she can’t complete the task the Fae sets her…

Not sure if any of those’ll scratch the same kind of itch as the duke and maid story did, but they’re there if you want :)

(And now I want to go work on all of them, simultaneously, ahhhhh!)

Thanks for asking!

[promiseofthepremise]

Okay, different question then! (If you can’t answer this one either then I am so sorry for asking unanswerable questions! 😂) So ooky-spooky Trixie fucks me UP (you know, that sparkly black jumpsuit with the green hair, and the curly white-blonde hair with the blue lips, and the big purple hair with the skeleton costume... sorry I got distracted for a second 😂). Can you tell me about Trixie being ooky-spooky for Halloween and Katya’s reaction to it? 😁🎃

oh my god college halloween party trixie is such a concept that i’m so here for thank you for bringing this into my life

like, think about the start of trixie’s junior year, before they’re together but katya is fully done for by that point, and trixie shows up to the halloween party adore is throwing in that pink cheetah print cat suit (you know the one) and katya just… refuses to touch her in any context all night because she can’t handle it. 

bianca walks over to katya at some point during the night, hands her a drink, and just smirks at her. 

“if you’re gonna jump her bones tonight, just make sure i don’t have to hear it.”

and katya is so completely flustered that she’s already blushing before bianca even suggested it.

“what? i– who? i don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“alright,” bianca just kind of shrugs. “but no judgment if you wanna get that pussy.”

katya has to splash cold water on her face after that interaction and that’s all before trixie even asks her to dance an hour later.

So I just discovered your fic and I am O B S E S S E D. SO looking forward to the next chapter! 😃

Thank you!! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. 

[promiseofthepremise]

I’m not sure how asking you All The Questions got started (I love it a lot), and I’m not sure if anyone has asked you this one or not, but if Trixie and Katya were to, say, get married, what do you think their wedding would be like? (And what would they wear? Would Trixie make everything? 😃) (p.s. more questions to come as they occur 😜)

okay this is one question i’m not gonna answer for reasons like i don’t wanna get your hopes up bc i haven’t been able to write a single word of anything in a While but i wanna write a “many years down the line” epilogue Eventually and the issue of to marriage or not to marriage would be covered in that ! if i knew how to fuckin’ write ! 

(thank you for asking literally most other questions i will have real answers for i promise <3)
