The lack of writing has been driving me crazy, and while my sickness hasn’t exactly abated… Well, I think I can at least write well enough… I’m at a bit over 2k on the wordcount for chapter 48, and hoping to get it done by Weds. The next public release will depend on how long it takes me to get 49 and 50 done, since I’d prefer to keep a 2 chapter buffer at a minimum… We’ll see. (Worse comes to worse, the chapter will stay a Patreon exclusive for two weeks as chapters are generally meant to. I’m hopeful that I can get a little extra done, though, so…

Lucy_The_Heroine: So we just have to read the words on the glass wall and answer the questions? Demon_Queen: The words on the screen, yes. I’ve set up text-to-speech, so everything else should take care of itself. Slithering_Suspicions: I don’t know about this. Giving people free information on us doesn’t feel like the smartest move. Maid_This_Way: I hate to say it, but Nivera has a point. Devilla’s too open with her secrets already… Foxxy_Fun: Come on, you two! It’s not like this is canon or anything! We’re just having a…

Kinda just realized I’ve never done one of these. I’ve always had vague plans to hold one after the series ended, but that’s a long way off, so… Well, with the end of volume 3 and the start of volume 4, it felt like as good a time as any? So, like it says on the tin, ask me (or my characters) anything! I’ll make a big post with all the answers, after~! (No spoilers, of course.)

So. I’m not 100% sold on doing this, but I’ve been considering writing a few sexy one-shots which may or may not be canon. (As in some might actually be canon, while others most definitely won’t be.) Demon Queened was originally meant to be fluffy smut, and while I’m rather happy with the way it turned out I know there are some people out there that would still like to read more smutty scenes like we saw towards the start of the series. I figure this is a way to satisfy people who want that without running the risk of derailing the series via gratuitous sex scenes. (Because, to be…

I know I just said in my last post that I was going to finish 42 before taking a brief break, and that it was unlikely to mess up my weekly releases, but…. I’m afraid I need it a bit more than I thought. Writing right now feels like slamming my head into a wall, and I really don’t want to get burnt out again. I’m sorry for the suddenness of this, and will try to get 42 and 43 done in short order once I’m back.
