Indefinite Hiatus Announcement
Hi folks,
For the past 5 years I have gotten to know so many of you through my writing, stories, and the community I’ve had the privilege of building. I have achieved some of my wildest dreams through this community, have had the honor of presenting at conventions, and have gotten brilliantly written fanfiction. I’m truly grateful to all that’s been given to me.
Sadly, this announcement’s title is pretty self-explanatory: I will be on an indefinite hiatus from erotica writing. This means I can no longer guarantee regular updates and will not be open to commissions for the foreseeable future. I may open small promos for one shots or microfiction in the future, but not right now.
Longer stories of mine, such as My Gender is Gamer, Bouquet Bound Garden Ablaze, and the others, might be chipped away at as I feel like it. Should I put any effort into writing, it most likely will go to those titles, both of which have a concept I enjoy and feel good about. (My Gender Is Gamer, in particular, is a story I do hope to continue, if only for the silly concept.) Should inspiration strike out of nowhere I may write a one off or something, but once again, I can’t guarantee anything.
Any updates I happen to make as I feel able will be free to the public, and my SubscribeStar will serve as a tip jar of sorts. It is possible I will open a Patreon for my non-erotic art if I feel it will have the audience.
All commissions in my queue will be finished accordingly, or refunded if I have the means to do so. I hope to complete my commissions as efficiently as I can.
I really was not looking forward to making this announcement. It’s actually been in the back of my mind for quite some time. I began thinking of this about New Years 2021, but then I received my Lynch syndrome diagnosis and wasn’t ready to make any major life decisions.
The reason for this decision comes down to quite a few things - the increasing, relentless attacks on adult content creators; needing a better work-life balance than I have for my physical and mental health; slowly becoming more of a public-facing figure; my financial situation needing significant improvement that I won’t be able to find in this sphere; and, unfortunately, simply losing interest. Forcing myself to write and beating myself up for not being able to has contributed to my burnout and has chipped away at my mental health. This is made worse by the amount of exciting non-erotic work I have lined up that is hard to not prioritize over erotica writing.
I am still open to art and design commissions, however! I also still have a couple online storefronts. I will probably continue to make zines, stickers, and what have you. You can see my stuff here, here, and here.
Types of commissions/gigs I am now open to:
-Illustration! I specialize in watercolor and ink/pen drawings but can also do digital art, character illustrations, and more. I also have recently gotten into
-graphic design is my passion - I particularly enjoy UX/UI design but also like print design (magazines, brochures, flyers, etc.), logo/branding design, and graphics for social media
-Teaching/classes - As mentioned, I can teach kink related classes, but can also teach classes on other subjects. For a list of my kink related classes I can teach, please see this link:
-Copywriting/editing - infrequently I can do blog articles or social media posts. If you’re interested in erotica writing (or writing in general), I am happy to look over what you’ve written/ideas you have and offer advice, brainstorming, or insight
-Anything else, just ask - I’ve experience in a ton of fields and might be able to help you out some way!
I’d like to thank some of my friends; to Kallie, Star, Modren, Mattie, Sammynona, Cammie, Dex, Lunar Circuit, Giggling Goblin, bendy, Salacious_Ink, Joan, Nekonyaamicon, Doctor D, Spider, Ari, Mars, TsukiNoNeko, Breeze, anbl, Victoria, and countless others. If I haven't mentioned you here, please know I recognize and acknowledge the impact you've had on my life.
And thank you, for all you’ve given me. I hope one day I can come back and write freely again. I hope to still pop up at cons and stuff every now and then. I love this community and my level or kind of involvement will never change that. xo
