So I’ve been writing these sporadically for a few years now. I seem to be getting positive responses. That feels really great; I know that writers of works on the subject matter I focus on are not super common, and I’m glad to see that what I make is appealing to someone.

This started because I felt like I had found all the “good ones” in terms of these stories, and many of the authors I liked had ceased writing for one reason or another (not begrudging them, shit happens; I totally understand “life changing”, especially after this past year). In my life at the moment, I’m looking to spend my time more on things that are significant to me creatively. I consider these stories to be one of them, though I know they’re not exactly “high art”.

I’m interested in opening commissions, but I’m not really comfortable doing that at the moment. A big part of that is my “once per 6 months” release schedule; I think I’ll try doing a “once per week” thing in the month of April (I’m moving this month, so no commitment to that in March). Another thing is... I can see that people like this content, but I’m not really clear on what they like in it. I’ve been trying to incorporate some small details here and there about elements that are slightly outside of the set of things I find personally “compelling”, but I know others do find appealing (as evinced by writings I’ve read by other authors)

I guess what I’m asking is: what are some things you’ve liked? What are some things you haven’t liked? What do you think I can do better?

I don’t ask these because I have a negative opinion of my own work; I simply find criticism about things that are missing to be the most useful sort.

But by all means, voice whatever opinions you have.

As always: thank you for reading.
