Hello everyone -- in light of me very recently coming back out of my cave, I thought it helpful to give a quick rundown over what has been going on with my projects during my time away

To rip the bandaid off blunty, SANGUISUGA is undergoing a complete rewrite. Characters are being shifted, storylines tweaked, a stat system is being created, etc etc etc. I'm aware that being in a state of rewrite can often kill a project, but it is because of this reevulatuation that I actually have a much firmer grasp on the story I want to tell, alongside the characters I want to use to tell it

There were a lot more plot holes and story skips in the original version than I was comfortable with admitting, especially since the prologue alone had gone through a multitude of drafts and revisions. It was my first time attempting to write in an interactive format, and I made the mistake that many new IF authors do in taking out a bite that I could not chew. There were also several interpersonal and private matters going down during the time of me starting chapter 1, and I was, simply put, not in the right state of mind to actually think on whether or not I was still telling a cohesive narrative. Pair that with my frequent boredom and habit of jumping between projects, I was just not improving my chances by dragging around what was essentially a lame horse

SANGUISUGA and my other projects are not abandoned, but they are also not currently being worked on. I won’t be going into the specific reasons behind my leave, obviously. It will just require me to step away from external responsibilities for the time being

Really the only reason I am making this is so that weird serpent guy on the pirating website doesn’t point and go, ‘See i was right’

I’d quickly like to give a small thank you to all the support I have received. I never really had the desire to share my works with an audience, and often dreaded the feedback I would receive on a project so viscerally connected to my own thoughts and experiences, but things have truly been good. I have made connections and friends, my writing has been praised, I’ve been given clear stepping stones on where and how to grow, and more — I am grateful, and look forward to when I am able to come back. I’d also like to thank my beta testers for their patience and understanding during this period of what has effectively been radio silence

Not really, but that could just be because I don't actively look for them; I don't read a lot of horror, gore, or dead-dove. But I do have a few mutuals i'd recommend if you're looking for IFs of a more explicitly graphic and edgy nature;

Yes, the area between the genitals and the anus. It also refers to things like contamination, corruption, etc

I'm gonna be honest anon I also forgot for a second and had to look through my own blog history before answering
