The Wolfkin
3 years ago
My earliest watchers on FurAffinity and anyone else who has gone back to the first posts in my gallery are aware of The Wolfkin. It is the first story I wrote with a furry theme and the place that Abelet really grew into a character that represents me. I miss writing this story but there are many things about it that I am no longer happy with. The fact that it was meant to be a short backstory for my World of Warcraft worgen from back in the day limited the scope and, though I added things on and changed others over time as I fell more and more in love, it caused me to create many inconsistencies that take a long time to fix. I do not like the way I wrote Garrus as a Gary Stu and many characters are underutilised to the point of having no presence in the story whatsoever after their introduction. The history of the world is lacking and cultures are unfocused. And ultimately? Because this is the first time I ever wrote something lewd, the focus I put on the kinks caused Abelet to develop in an unconvincing way.
So a rewrite is what I have wanted for a long time. There are many reasons that I have not done this yet. The first and most important thing is motivation. I once wrote a novel and the release was a horrible experience. I lost most everyone in my life without a word and to this day I still do not know why. Though The Wolfkin received attention that made me really happy, I have struggled with the idea of large projects ever since and it is the reason that I stopped working on The Wolfkin where I did. Second is time. When I first started taking commissions and making YCHs I struggled with time management. Even though I was just about to turn 24 years old, I was still a kid with the real world. But last year I stopped job hunting and no longer receive government support. I am a year and a half older and now I am a woman with real world experience able to commit to her work and push through laziness. And finally? Identity. I have struggled with my identity for a long time. I've had a lot of hard experiences but I've come out of them knowing who I am and who I want to be. Consequently, I'm no longer indecisive about Abelet. I know who she was, who she is and who she will be. I'm ready to make this rewrite happen.
So! While I cannot say when it will happen, after my current work load is done I am going to begin working on creating timelines, characters and constructing the overall plot. This is a very special project to me and many of the experiences that Abelet and Blake have are directly linked to my own. I want to create a romanticised autobiographical novel series that will release a chapter on SubscribeStar every month and tell my story in the best way I know how (I'll need to think about all the tiers and pricing when the time is closer). It will not be exclusive and will later come to FA but I want all of my supporters over there to have early access to something so close to my heart.
