#WritersCoffeeClub 9/8: International Literacy Day! Share a moment when a reading of your work surprised you.

I'll share a story of mine. It's one of my absolute favorite things I've ever written, and ironically, it's only fanfiction. It features an original character, another Van Helsing member of the family with Peter Cushing as the face-claim. Dracula, of course, will always be my dear Christopher Lee. Hammer Horror will *foever* have my entire heart.

Anyway, I'm *incredibly* proud of this story and the way it turned out. My vocabulary, sentence structure, the near-Victorian vibe from it all... I just *adore* this story. It doesn't take place in the Victorian or Edward period, of course, it's the 70s, but that gothic feeling is more than present. I just love this one so much. I was impressed with myself for once, and I was so proud of the final, finished product. I've turned it into an ongoing series for my readers.

The name of the story is "The Cycle Begins Again," and here's the quick synopsis.

⬇️

Professor Clarence Booth has a rather unexpected visitor one afternoon and the course of his entire life will change because of it.

(This piece takes place directly after Dracula A.D. 1972 and The Satanic Rites of Dracula. Keep that in mind. The Author's Note is also very important.)

Just some thoughts about my commissioned WIP for a friend... I'm at 57k words now, and we also have 35 chapters live. Not too shabby. Gosh, I'm enjoying writing this story so much.

Fandom-dropping progress, August 15 report

I had a “nightmare” that I found a PSoH chapter revealing Leon’s Actual Full Name. The nightmare part was that dream-me had a ton of stress thinking about how many Leon-related canonical tags I would have to update/rename.

Come join the AO3 Tag Wranglers, you too can have fun bizarre anxiety dreams like this!

Monthly fandom tracking (I know it’s not the 15th as I’m posting this, but it was when I ran the numbers):

Down to 623 fandoms. I did take that break I mentioned last month, and haven’t started my next “actively, systematically dropping a bunch” sweep yet, but I still managed to hand off a few. Currently 27 with any tags to wrangle.

AMT updates: The revamped Fake News request, and the original one for Cutie Honey, are still both on the submissions page, waiting for approvals. Have I mentioned that I also requested a Narbonverse AMT? That’s the tiniest one I’ve put in for. TBD if the AMT-approving wranglers will decide it’s worth the effort.

Oh, and I requested a Grinch metatag a while back. That one’s been approved and processed! Subtags include the original book, three licensed adaptations of various faithfulness-levels, and one horror parody.

At this point, there’s only one un-submitted AMT left on my personal to-request list. It’s for a franchise that I’m not even personally into…but it involved one (1) webcomic, no surprise I grabbed that to tidy it up, and at some point I realized “oh hey, this is part of a Whole Thing that should probably go together.” The proposal is written up, but I’m sitting on it for now, until at least one of my in-progress requests gets cleared.

If you're curious, I posted the first chapter for "As the World Falls Down," and I'm really enjoying working on it. This is just something fresh and fun. 🤍

This story follows the timeline of events in Diablo III: Eternal Collection and beyond.

⸻

A necromancer (named Damir) comes across an enchantress and has no idea what to do with her. She's mysterious, unearthly and incredibly powerful, but she's determined to help him as well. Damir has traveled to Caldeum and Mount Arreat, battling the demon lords known as Azmodan and Belial. Eirena does what she can for him.

This is their beginning.

#PennedPossibilities 1087 — Friday Word Edition: In honor of a friend (@thatwriterellie), we’re using a word once per week. Share something from your WIP pertaining to the word “struggle.”

(Posting this early because I have plans later. It's karaoke night!)

This excerpt isn’t from my new Paranormal & Gothic Romance novel. It’s from a story for The Hour that I’m working on. You’ll find the word “struggle” here, and it absolutely makes sense, given the context of the conversation. I always have to be writing something, even if it’s just fanfiction for friends and happy, eager subscribers. It makes my heart happy.

I'm feeling accomplished. I posted a new chapter for a Musketeers-related story over on AO3 and my friends are thrilled. 😁

*using the exclude feature because people are tagging fics with both the romantic (/) and platonic (&) relationship tags.

If it starts platonic and ends up romantic, that's what the "Friends to lovers" tag is for. #ao3 #archiveofourown

Good evening, #WritingCommunity. #MySinMyObsession has been updated. Sorry it took a while. If you're a fan of #TheWitcher and of vampiric society as well, then this one's definitely for you. Orianna and Regis are so fascinating.

Chapter 5 is here! Only three more to go.

⸻

We finally find ourselves at the culmination of the evening. Regis and Orianna have to rescue the children.

Regis tries to find Orianna. There could still be time to stop her from doing something she'll undoubtedly regret come morning.

Good morning, #WritingCommunity. #MySinMyObsession has been updated once again. If you're a fan of #TheWitcher and of vampiric society, then this one's for you.

While this story revolves around the relationship between Orianna and Regis, it also includes all of the other beloved characters. I've been adoring writing this one. It was a Tumblr prompt from a friend, and it's evolved all on its own. I love this pairing. There's obviously history there between them, and the story took on a life of its own.

A big thank you to @aperfectsong as well, just for being my beta reader of sorts.

(Sorry, had to repost this.)

⸻

A few days pass and Regis receives important news...

Hello there, #WritingCommunity. I did a thing for a friend. It was written as per a request of sorts. If you're a fan of #TheWitcher and of vampiric society and relationships, this one's for you. The first chapter of this short but ongoing story is now live.

Please read the author's note on AO3. It's important.

⸻

A long-awaited conversation at Orianna's residence changes the entire course of Regis' future and fate.

Je suis tombée sur mon One Shot Vampire Diaries (livres pas série TV) d'il y a quasi 10 ans et j'ai eu envie de le réécrire.

Alors je vous le partage.
