It's been a while since I've done a blog update, huh? I thought it was important to finally get this in because I made a lot of new changes to my blog! (૭ 。•̀ ᵕ •́。 )૭ Not only that, but I wanted to tackle some stuff I wanted to say, especially because there are new readers here! So, let's get into it, shall we~? (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈)
Blog State ❀ I am super happy with the state of my blog now that I finally was able to change the theme to something I felt more internally in tune with! (๑>•̀๑) I was hoping this time around I could make my blog theme softer, with more relaxing colors. I didn't want anything too aggressive or dark anymore, especially taking into consideration that seems to be most of the content I write ૮₍˶Ó﹏Ò ⑅₎ა I guess you can say that I just generally wanted to make my space more open and relaxing for those dropping in! Overall though, I think this blog is in a very good state, as everything so far is up to date. I will potentially be making some changes to my introduction though, now that this blog is older, so feel free to tap into my pinned post to get to know me (´。• ◡ •。`) ♡
Archive ❀ So!! I made some major changes to my masterlist/archive! (∩˃ω˂∩) There is now a way to tell which of my works involve NSFW, which I included in the key. This is definitely a more necessary change, and I will be looking around into ways I can key off some of my yandere requests/other popular request topics. I also FINALLY got around to making a Heartsteel exclusive category underneath the request category! (◍•ᴗ•◍) Now you can binge-read and keep up with all of my current works to date so far! Yay!! ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰
"What I Write" ❀ With so many requests coming in, I should let it be known that I don't often write male! readers. That is not to say I don't ever do it, but generally, I try to keep my blog oriented towards AFAB individuals! I should also let it be known I tend to take requests that aren't super specific. I feel there is a fine line between self-inserting in a request and requesting a general scenario that the reader is put in! And for me, I generally prefer to lean into generalized prompts and ideas! ≽^•⩊•^≼
Request Queue Status ❀ Admittedly, the request queue has been getting much longer than I'm used to, but I'm okay with it for now! ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻) I'd say there are very well over 60 requests right now in total and 4 I currently have still stacked up and in the works in my drafts, so I will definitely have to sort through and cherry-pick all of the requests I really want to get around to doing as soon as possible ໒꒰ྀིᵔ ᵕ ᵔ ꒱ྀི১
Writing Goals ❀ I don't really have any set-to-stone writing goals as of right now, but I will try to tap into some non-Heartsteel-related requests I received eons ago ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ I think my primary goal is just finding the time to write for the enjoyment of it, that way I can avoid burnout as much as possible ( ๑ ˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و ♡
This is pretty much all that I have to say for now! I hope that I was able to clear up anything that wasn't clear before for those who are new, and I hope this was able to communicate all of the current changes and how I feel about my blog right now!
