I Found This At My Barnes And Noble. I Feel Like This Accurately Describes Your Writings.

Thank you, Lu, I'll punch myself now for making me cry. WTF I WAS THINKING ASKING THAT QUESTION.

The angst- the pain- IT'S SO SCRUMPTIOUS, WONDERFUL, AMAZING. I'm a mess

C-can we have an angsty time? 😿 What if MC is soon to be ceased and in their last moment they confess their love, barely able to touch RO, as their form just sizzling away in, well, nothing. MC kisses RO for the first and last time and disappears right before the eyes without interrupting eye contact

A: As if losing you once wasn't painful enough, now they had to experience that pain again. And this time, it would be forever, with no return. They tried to reach out to you, feel your touch for the last time...but it felt unreal. You were disappearing into millions of nothing and when they tried to say something, anything, you interrupted them. "I love you" the words are bittersweet, they wanted you to return that feeling, but now it just felt like another fuel for the pain. And when you kissed them, for the first and last time, they welcomed the pain as a gift.

S: They can't survive this again. They've seen you leave more times than bearable...but there was always a way, this time however, things were different. You would never return to them. And if you weren't coming back, they didn't have to stay here. They try to get as close to you as possible, feeling your aura, your energy...."I love you." You say as they make their own confession, that's not a real surprise but they can't help but be amazed at how comforting it is. Their kiss tastes like tears, but they don't care, these aren't just tears of sadness.

Bo: She should be the one to be comforting you. But instead, she's the one being comforted, feeling what's left of you hugging her as you say everything will be okay. "Please, please don't go." She begs you, she has never begged for anything before, not even for life itself. But there's nothing you can do and she knows it..."I love you." You say as she tries to hold on to you even more, futilely, you lean over and kiss her briefly before fading away. And even later when you can no longer hear, she keeps begging for you. 

Kyle: He knew you would be the end of him. But he never imagined it would hurt so much to care about you. Seeing you disappear in front of his eyes was always his worst nightmare and it became real. So real. "Kyle" you call out to him, feeling his hands squeeze you tightly, as if they could keep you from disappearing. "I do not want to know". He cuts off roughly. "But you already know, you know I love you." He holds you tighter but you can't feel his touch anymore and he feels it, letting out an agonized sound. "I will never forgive you for making me love you." He whispers before you interrupt him with a kiss. The first and last kiss in a story that will never happen. 

🔐They don't say anything. All they do is hug you and keep from letting out any emotion. They care about you and you are dying, again and forever. There's nothing they can do to stop it, for the first time in their long existence, they're not enough. "I love you." You say suddenly, and they feel you start to fade faster and faster. "You love me too?" You ask already knowing the answer, of course. "I wish I didn't love you." They respond by looking at you with frustration and barely concealed sadness. You smile, to their dismay, and kiss them and it's what they expected it to be: Soft, sweet and loving. As you disappear, an absolute certainty grows within them. That was the first and the last time they allowed themselves to love. 

They say no one is living here — but lights come on, once every year.

Good Folk -- An interactive fiction WIP

Eirris has been conquered–again. As other countries seek to expand their resources and their empires, the island nation of Eirris’s largely underdeveloped landscape proves too attractive. The High King of Eirris has been deposed and executed. Amarand now occupies the most populace port cities, and their crown prince now lives in the capital where he is hoping to make an advantageous marriage match. The Eirris clans, once united under the High King, now have fractured loyalties and motives. Some work to return Eirris to its previous power, searching tirelessly for an heir to the high throne. Some work with Amarand, earning themselves access to safe roads and profitable trade allies. Some have taken the opportunity to break free of kingdom rule entirely, and now operate as Free Clans.   

You were born into a fen– a group of warriors loyal to a clan– and within the first two decades of your life, your group managed to make quite the name for yourselves as fearless and loyal adventurers. When the leader of your fen is executed for treason against the Amarandish crown, you find yourself quite suddenly without footing in the everchanging world around you. As you embark on a new adventure–full of magic and plenty of mysteries that need solving– meet a diverse cast of characters that, come what will or what may, change your life forever. 

Features

A fully customizable MC: choose your name, gender, sexuality, appearance, personality, religion, stats, and backstory

Choose from three types of magical backgrounds: Are you a druid, with ties to the fae and animism whose magic some fear, or are you a psychic, whose fortune telling and scrying are greatly admired, or are you an alchemist, whose affinity for healing and connection to the elements make you a valuable court mage?

Unique worldbuilding: while Good Folk is heavily character driven, a lot of thought and detail went into the creation of a completely unique world, one that MC travels extensively through the course of the story. 

Find romance… or not!: Good Folk was designed as a romance game and has a diverse cast of characters available for romance. There are 6 romance options including male, female, non-binary, and trans ROs, as well as the option to romance any of the ROs as asexual. Every RO is available to every MC. Or choose not to romance anyone at all, and just make lifelong friends! (Note: This game will most likely feature explicit content and is only suitable for players 18+)

Determine the End State of Eirris: What will your homeland look like at the end of your journey? Will it remain under Amarand rule. Will it be united under an Eirrisian High King? Are there other options out there? Play to find out!

the interactive fiction community really needs to learn some lessons about respect and boundaries istg.

first y'all complain about characters romancing each other outside of the mc, then you whine about characters sexualities not matching what you wanted, and then some of you have the gall to throw around unwarranted plagiarism accusations toward authors who are offering free demos on behalf of a paid author who's very work is littered with tropes and who didn't do anything truly unique with their own story except build off pre-existing tropes.

now some of you are harassing an author who is trying something new, who just wants to have a little fun with the interactivity part of interactive fiction?

i am begging some of you to please grow up and learn some common sense. don't like the premise of this game? then don't play it. find something else to play and move on. a lot of people on your dash are blogging about it and you don't like that? blacklist the tag or unfollow them!

sending these authors anon hate or whiny, entitled asks trying to guilt them into feeling sorry that they hurt you (newsflash: they didn't!!) by simply telling the story they wanted to tell is not only childish, it's also extremely rude and absolutely unnecessary.

these authors are sharing their work with us, often for free, and no one is forcing anyone to read or play anything. engage with the content you want and ignore the content you don't like, it's not that difficult of a concept to understand.

Where is your other half?

This fabulous bitch

She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense).  I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen.  Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs

or for full on fight sequences

or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.  

this bitch hooked me up.  

And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like

or this

or this

DUDE!  INASNE SHIT!!  So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash.  Lemme dole it out for her.  BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!!  This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.  

I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock.  You’re worth it.  

Check out this amazing woman’s stuff, and get knowledged:  https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock
