Well, we've finally hit volume 2's first sex scene, and I'm rather proud of it! Hopefully, everyone else will like it too.
With this, I've officially written the whole thing! It still needs editing, of course, as does every other part of the chapter... And proofreading... But still!&n...
2024-02-05 22:41:49 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: Wrote way more than I expected, today! Specifically 3,083 words. Discounting anything I erased. The second half of that sort of hit stream of consciousness mode, so some of this is going to be rougher than the rest - but it's mostly just a matter of polishing, even...
2024-02-05 02:26:24 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I've noticed that Discord doesn't always manage to auto-invite people to the server, and the link I posted here has long since expired. So, in case any patrons are interested in joining manually.... Here you go!
2024-02-04 17:04:30 +0000 UTC View PostImportant note: This is, as mentioned in the title, very much a rough draft. It hasn't been properly edited, proofread, or even given to a beta reader. To be honest, I'm not really expecting many to want to read it as is, and under normal circumstances I wouldn't even post it.
(I'm going to be putting the main author's note at the bottom, but here's a quick link to the site for those who prefer to read there.)
ETA: Forgot to upload the PDF

Another chapter finished! It's rather short - the wordcount clocks in at about 1.7k - but it feels complete to me. I'm expecting chapter 20 to be a bit bigger, around 3 to 4k, but I don't want to make any promises.
Considering the shortness of chapters 17-19, though, I've decided to g...
2024-01-25 00:58:46 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I've mentioned this before, but I kinda started a new series? I was writing it as a way to try and get my mind off Demon Queened, while I had writer's block. It didn't exactly work for that purpose, though - I was able to write it it, but when it came time to edit all I could think about was ...

This wonderful picture was drawn up quite a while back by my friend and betareader Lulla, who's had the dubious honor of listening to me babble about these two for the longest time now.... The image comes in both "normal" and "less saturated" forms, and I think it does a good job of capturing the...
2024-01-16 22:53:53 +0000 UTC View PostSurprised to see another chapter so soon? So am I! But it just flowed out of me, so here we are! With many thanks to FallingLeaf for proofreading, and my friend Lulla for being a beta reader - you can download the attached PDF, read it on 2024-01-16 22:48:33 +0000 UTC View Post
So, as some of you might be aware, I did the public release of my last chapter a bit earlier than the norm - after one week, instead of two. This is due to me being fresh off hiatus, and wanting to assure everyone that I really am back. I'm considering doing that again, but I really don't want to...
2024-01-15 06:22:51 +0000 UTC View PostSo, first off, I'm officially establishing the order of chapters. I'll go back and edit the titles later, but I'm officially doing all of Abigail's chapters (14, 15, and 16, so far) before returning to Devilla and Lucy. There's also going to be one more Abigail chapter before the reunion kicks of...
2024-01-15 06:15:31 +0000 UTC View PostYup! It's done! And a lot quicker than I expected, too - those who read the very first draft of chapter 14, before it got cut in half, might notice that a good portion of the draft actually survived the editing process, which saved a lot of time. (Many thanks to my friend FallingLeaf, who handled...
2023-12-30 00:13:05 +0000 UTC View PostSo, as everyone is undoubtedly already aware, I recently wrote a scene for Devilla and Lucy's reunion. I've been planning to put it after all the Abigail & Nivera chapters, to avoid bouncing around too much, but that order isn't really set in stone. I was going to decide after I'd co...
2023-12-26 18:19:29 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I already made an announcement about this a couple days ago, but just to clarify - this isn't exactly the next chapter (15.) I'm probably going to write all of Abigail's bits before this one comes up, in terms of numeric order. Chronologically, both Abigail and Devilla's events are happening ...
2023-12-23 17:24:24 +0000 UTC View PostSo, the good news is, I've gotten another DQ bit to a place where I'm ready to edit and release it. I'm hoping to get that done by the 25th, and release it - while probably making the last chapter public, while I'm at it. There is, however, a bit of an addendum... Namely, I'm not entirel...
2023-12-22 01:21:01 +0000 UTC View PostHi! Still alive! Sorry I keep dropping off the face of the earth. Depression is being rather terrible - like 3 weeks of reducing one med so I could start another turned into a month plus of waiting for a new med to get approved, and then that pill got changed out too.... It's been fucking with my...
2023-12-11 09:07:10 +0000 UTC View PostBasically, I want to know how people prefer to get updates. Do you want chapters posted as a PDF, as a word document, a link to the story, or just posted on Patreon?
Feel free to pick as many options as you'd like. I'm not going to be sticking to a singular format, or anything - I just wan...
ETA 12/23/2023 - Very minor adjustments (like, a word or two shifting, for proofreading purposes). And I fixed the italics, now that Patreon has them working.
ETA: I'm posting the full text of the story below, for those who prefer such. Since Patreon has been having issues with italics, I'm...
2023-10-10 21:40:38 +0000 UTC View PostHi. Still alive. The editing has been taking far longer than I hoped - mostly due to me still trying to find a proper balance between pushing myself enough to get things done, and not pushing myself so hard I burn out. And also because mental health issues keep popping up - I've been abl...
2023-10-06 22:44:19 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I've recently come to appreciate just how ridiculous my Demon Queened chapters tend to be in length. (I knew they were a bit long, but a couple days back I checked the average chapter length of some of the stories I read. Discovering that the ones with longer updates average at around 4,000 w...

So, my wonderful friend Lulla gifted me with a new version of the fan art I previously posted! The first one was done some time ago, and I think she's gotten even better in the time since.
As before, I've cropped the image to avoid showing who Nivera is with. It's a character we haven't see...
2023-08-15 04:45:48 +0000 UTC View PostFirst off, I just wanna give another assurance that I'm still here. Rereading DQ is taking a bit longer than I expected, so I've decided not to remain idle in the meantime. I'm practicing with Abigail's voice via a rough draft of chapter 16, with the intention of going back to edit 14 as soon as ...
2023-08-15 04:29:35 +0000 UTC View PostHi! Considering how I disappeared before, I wanted to make sure to check-in and let everyone know what's going on.
As I'm sure you all know, I recently finished the rough draft of chapter 14. Before editing it, though, I'm rereading the previously published chapters of Demon Queened. It's ...
So, my friend Lulla drew this up forever ago, back when I was still burnt out but unable to stop babbling about DQ. I've cropped the image to prevent spoilers on who's doing the poking, but if you're really curious, I'll have a link below! (I will say outright that it's not Devilla, sinc...
2023-07-28 01:06:35 +0000 UTC View PostHi! I'm alive! And have been working on a thing! I attempted to work on several things, actually, thinking that it might be good to build up confidence/shake off rust on stuff that wasn't DQ - but while I saw some success (you might see a new series soon) I couldn't seem to focus on anything else...
2023-07-27 02:20:29 +0000 UTC View PostHi.
First, I want to say sorry to everyone for falling silent so long. I kept wanting to produce something new, to have something good to report, but it hasn't happened yet and it's long past time for me to talk about it.
Basically, my mental health has been taking a beating. I got ...
First off, let me apologize for the lack of updates. I've been trying to push myself through the next chapter, trying to get things done for the sake of everyone waiting - and in the process, I did what I only recently promised myself not to do, and stressed myself out so much that I became unabl...
2022-07-13 02:03:44 +0000 UTC View PostSo, first off, I want to apologize for how long I'm taking with DQ chapter 14 - or anything else, for that matter. Part of it is due to writer's block, and some of it is health (both mental and physical.) I've got the latter handled for now, and I have a way forward on the former.
I want t...
Yup! It's actually early for once! Probably because it's relatively short, as an interlude, but still!
As I've mentioned before, this is an interlude with Abigail. It's partially meant to give everyone a better look at what's going on in the tower - the stuff Devilla is too busy or too...
This one took a surprisingly long time, considering how short it was - think I just got myself caught in a loop of "didn't get writing done - berates self for not getting writing done - feels crappy so struggles to get writing done" for a bit, tbh. Need to work on that, but for now I'm just happy...
