I know last night’s post kind of came out of nowhere, and I’m not generally one to voice things like that, and certainly not in that way. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, but that’s getting off topic.

I want to thank @pixelcat-101, @ginnyinindy, and @catlover4536 for liking last night’s post. It was reassuring to know that you guys were hearing me.

Thank you @moonfoxgazer*, @lavadog and @squigglydigglydoo for your comments. You really helped ease my worries about whether or not I was backing myself into a literary corner. And to Squiggly specifically, thank you for the reality check. I’ve always known that original content is harder to get an audience for, but I think I needed to be reminded of that, so thank you.

And finally, thank you @wisdom325* and the anon who both sent me messages through the question submission. Thank you for the encouragement, and as I said last night, I understand if people aren’t as interested in Defining Moments as my other work. It’s a lot more niche, so I really wasn’t expecting it to be as popular as my BatIM stuff.

Either way, thank you all for responding. It means a lot to me.

Aww, thank you. ^_^

Seriously though, this is probably one of the greatest compliments I can ever receive as a writer, from anybody. To hear that someone not only enjoys my stories, but that they have been moved by them, that they’ve felt emotion from my work?

Very little can beat being told that.

To be honest, the streaming is only taking so long because issues inevitably crop up, which delays the whole thing. The first stream Alex and I did, over half of it was technical difficulties.

The funny thing is, story-wise, I personally don’t think there’s anything to add to Doki Doki Literature Club. At the end of the story, there are no loose ends, no plot holes that didn’t get filled… everything was neatly tied up, with a ribbon to boot. Adding anything to it would just muddy that.

Although… that said, I have had thoughts on what Doki Doki would be as a traditional visual novel, rather than what it is. But that then brings the question of how I would write for that. Do I go down one route? Which girl do I focus on? One? All of them? Do I try my hand at a choose-your-own-story esque style to encompass everything?

Of course! It was a reasonable request, and now other people can find any of my stories they want to read, rather than slog through my blog or archive for my older content. It also helps me keep track of everything.

Hello to you too! Thank you for your comment, and I’m glad you’re enjoying my stories.^_^

And there absolutely is an order to them, at least ‘Defining Moments’ and all the stories I’ve done for @squigglydigglydoo‘s Toon Henry AU. She’s got a Materpost of her AU (which has all of my related work in it) and, thinking abut it, I should probably make my own.
