UPDATE (May 7, 2022): Edit: Bleach fics are done. I might actually just delete the second, half-finished 7 Days fic. I don't have the vaguest idea of where I was going with that. So I was wrong before- I will, apparently, abandon fics (after over a decade). Sorry if you cared, but I know at least 95% of my readers didn't or don't. lol

Reiterate: I must ask all of my readers: Please do NOT download, copy, or otherwise save my works for the purpose of uploading them- anywhere. If you're downloading for your personal use, that's fine, but I would still appreciate being asked for permission (something I would likely- almost always- grant). A bookmark is one thing, but downloading it onto your computer is not something I'm comfortable with for the most part, given how easily such things can be done as a precursor to taking credit for my work (via uploading yourself). Rest assured, I keep copies of my stuff on my hard drive, and backups, and backups of the backups, including two places in the cloud. I am quite serious about all of that- I have 3 copies at any given time of all of my writing, in 3 separate locations/drives. If I am banned from the site, it won't take me long to re-up everything I have in some other location/site. I appreciate the thought of those who would do so (and are for other authors), but have to respectfully decline any such help myself.

Essentially- Don't repost my stuff. Archiving it yourself is all right, but I'd still rather you asked. Thank you.

Here's some SPARKLING NEWS I am now a self-published author, under the pen name Kaja Wilder. If you are interested in reading some of my original fiction (it's the smutty type, if you care), Most of my works there will be entered at an introductory price of .99 USD, and be raised to 2.99 a week or two after they are published.

Or if you have Kindle Unlimited, just borrow it for free. Won't take but half an hour, tops, to read. :)
But leave me a review if you do! Please!

You can also join my DISCORD at ht tp s : / / discord . gg / EDHf6ZG . You might find fun stuff there. :)

UPDATE SCHEDULE:
This is, first of all, not a hard thing. I will miss days. It happens. I'll do my best to stick with it, however.
* Every TWO WEEKS I will update FwB on this site (every week on A03, but it's far behind this one- once that gets caught up, I will do that every two weeks as well).
There are MANY MORE chapters and counting available on my (though unedited and raw) for any tier to read, if you want more faster. I update it there every few days. And lots of art / lewds.
* Every TWO WEEKS alternating roughly with FwB, I will update Princess of the Wild until it's caught up with what I've written, but I will start posting it in smaller chunks (roughly half a numbered chapter at a time). That is currently 20~ chapters long. There are 2 chapters and the prologue on my now, along with some art.
* Every MONTH or so, I will post a one-shot that I have already published on my . Maybe, I'm not entirely sure about this- many of them may be exclusive.
* Every MONTH or so (alternating with the above) I will post one of my less-popular stories.
Expect changes to this, but only in the form of more posts, not less. At least for the time being.

And of course, as usual around the Christmas Holidays or for my birthday, you can expect an extra post or seven as a present from me to you.

FINALLY, for those who have read and favorited my Naruto stories over the years, and worry they are abandoned (I last posted to One hour in 2018)... not quite. I'm actually working on a new OH chapter today. TROLL maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after. So... expect something 'eventually but not too far from now' for both. :)

I also do COMISSION writing. For those many people who have PMd me in recent months, these are your options:
I will write anything LEGAL (as in, not violating age legalities) that is within a fandom I know anything about, if your idea sparks even a little interest for these amounts (via or Venmo).
I will not be comfortable writing abuse toward or from the central characters, or 'grooming'.
You can also get One-Shots (or a series of them) by becoming an $8 Patron. That's far cheaper overall, but the length of the work will be decided by me in that case (based on your idea and how many words it takes to get it 'done' to a publishable place).
And if you've ever been interested in creating an OC, or even an SI, and putting it into the FwB verse (or others) to have some fun with the characters, well... I also do that for the higher two tiers of Patrons. In case that's added incentive. ;)
All amounts should be in U.S. currency (as that is where I am located and pay my taxes).
5000~ words (/- 500) = $15.00
6000-12000 words (/- 1000) = $25.00
13000-20000 words (/- 2500) = $35.00
22000-50000~ = $50.00
Longer on request, but expect $75.00-$100.00.
Contacting me via PM is probably the fastest way without joining my $ub$tar (which also allows access to my semi-exclusive Discord).

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.

Pet Peeves: These are things that annoy me in fics, regardless of the genre or style or other important factors.

"Whilst". Yes, it's a word, and yes, most people use it sort-of correctly. But... really? Throwing in the archaic form of a rarely-used word every ten lines doesn't make you sound smart. Honest. Just use "while" or "at the same time," or something, like normal people do.

"[Insert Adjective (Cute, Hot, etc)]?! Where did that come from?!" Really, I'm pretty sure we've all been through puberty (or are going through it now), and I doubt anyone's ever had that kind of thought about a friend that they've suddenly started to become attracted to. I KNOW it doesn't happen every single time in any universe regardless of any other factor. Originality! Example:
Compare the phrases: "Hermione's cute! ... wait, Cute? Where did THAT come from?!"
"Hmm, Hermione looks pretty cute in that swimsuit. I'm surprised I never noticed!"
Now which would you rather read? This is language, people, and the possibilities are endless. Using (tiny) variations on the same line gets old after once or twice. You don't need to put it in every fic you write.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION. This is a big one. You do not need to write every action that's going on in your scene. Really. I just read a fic that described a character taking a shower. In detail, including putting body wash on a washcloth, scrubbing part A, B, C, etc, putting the body wash down, rinsing A, B, C, getting out, toweling off A, B, C, D, and so on, before getting dressed.
Or... "Character A took a shower". We all know how a shower works. We don't need instructions in a fic. I'm not trying to bash anyone or anything, especially not writers who're just starting out, but instead trying to educate. Take these to heart!
