Teen alien immigration agents get caught up in an alien run human trafficking ring! Also by the guy who did Beelzebub though it focuses on plot more than comedy but has a good balance between the two. It's a nice SciFi Manga for anyone looking for a if Dandadan were serious vibe.

Last time I did a word count report we were sitting at 15,392. Friday we reached 29,805 which I'm sure will break 30,000 when I settle in to write today!!

Because it's been a while as well, I'll be backdating good quotes from former sessions.

Blood & Bouquets is set in the future! 2074 during May-June to be exact. Why so close yet so far?? I needed a WW3 to happen in book world and have just enough time to take reasonable liberty with science-y things.

Finlay bottles it all up and tries to fix the problem. Sometimes, if the stress is continually piled on he will decide to take care of a problem permanently 👀

Most of his stress is because of other people

How does your main character deal with stress?

Cripes it took me forever but I'm finally done planning Arc 2... Now onto Arc 3 where it's entirely following Simon as he descends into madness & dies a horrible, gruesome, well deserved death I'm going to be particularly vivid with because he disgusts me ✨

Seigen wants a love that is devoted. One that will encompass all aspects of him.

He’s had trouble in former relationships where they couldn’t accept his more devious side, only wanting the glamour a gangster could bring.

He wants someone to laugh with over the misfortune he & they cause others.

Finlay wants a love that is gentle and protective…

(And he might just get it)

Yakuza Fiancé is far more entertaining than I ever anticipated.

With a psycho golden retriever as the main love interest to our bogan female lead it is one of the best m/f romcoms I've seen in a long time...

However if they are actually end game I don't see a reasonable way to make that happen.

Haha, realised I hadn't ever introduced my novel and here we are!

Devil's Deal With Devils is a Romance set in 2074. Featuring gang affiliated gays, a traumatised & deadly mc & his trouble making love interest & the mc's childhood stalker!

My god yes. Finlay & Simon, Simon is Finlay's life long stalker. Simon had an obsession since they met as children.

Simon's a revolting human being and shouldn't be allowed in the same country as Finlay.

He names his restaurant their pairing name - Monlay's

Honestly he sickens me to write.

Are there characters in your WIP that you really wish no one would ever ship?

Seigen loves his mum, Uri & Adel, being a general menace and will love Finlay more than any of them... maybe not his mum but it's very close.

Simon loves himself, his dad. I wouldn't call his obsession with Finlay love, it's possession.

What does your antagonist love?
March 9, 2025 at 6:08 AM
Finlay loves his family deeply.

He will love Seigen more.

Side questing into fantasy bl smut, emphasis on the smut ❤️‍🔥

And while yes the 1st sex scene could be on the 1st page, that’s not nearly as fun as introducing the long suffering father figure of our frisky exhibitionist main characters!

Much excite! The blue is gorgeous, can’t wait to feel that silky smooth cover with such a pretty colour on it..

I keep focusing on the wrong thing, I want the story too but the sensory experience is top fucking notch 👌

Not another book like it except the 1st in the series.

#writingcommunity 💙📚
It's time for a ✨COVER REVEAL📚

SCARS OF THE RAVEN releases May 2025, so keep your eyes peeled!

Only because he doesn't sleep for a week at a time.
#writingcommunity Writing Question

Does your main character sleep well?
March 2, 2025 at 12:41 PM
Seigen would boycott because his tea was too cold if he was really feeling obnoxious. He likes to operate in reputation destruction & intimidation more than physical violence so a lot of the time he does it for little reason other than fun. However he would take particular offence to homophobia.
#writingcommunity Writing Question

What would your antagonist boycott something over?
March 1, 2025 at 7:51 AM
Life may have jumped me for a hot minute there but it is time for a little Drabble challenge in my writers community elsewhere and guess who popped in for Inspo?

That's right, Seigen & Finlay.

Now this is from a story that will be far in the future of their world hence the censored spoiler-
February 28, 2025 at 1:36 PM
Finlay's ,sadly, very tolerant of being screwed and fairly ambivalent and ignorant to current social issues of his time (2074 2yrs post WW3) right now because he has no access to news and the existence of social media is debatable & definitely doesn't exist outside the city center.

Seigen would play hard mode, he wouldn't be good at it at all but he'd find a perverse sense of relaxation from raging at his failures. He's very persistent.

Simon would play normal or easy but claim he's playing hard mode then when someone points it out be all, oh so that's why it was so easy.
#writingcommunity Writing Question

Would your antagonist play games on easy, normal, or hard mode?
February 26, 2025 at 10:16 AM
Finlay’s would get bored without a challenge so he’d play hard mode.

Seigen isn’t in market for one and doesn’t have a preference towards any particular animal either. If his partner wanted a pet he’d let them decide what and dote on it as much a he could.

Simon doesn’t want pets & doesn’t like animals, he hates cats and has an only slightly milder hatred for dogs.
#writingcommunity Writing Question

Does your antagonist have or want a pet?
February 24, 2025 at 8:42 AM
Finlay wants nothing more out of a pet than a cat but cats hate him… there’s a stray that lives around Simon’s restaurant that breaks in to mess the place up, hisses and swipes at him when he walks by and occasionally runs in front of him to trip him up.

I have been poisoned and now so shall you be… skee
Every time I see someone talking about a feed or account or whatever on here by adding "sky" to the end of it, I read it as "skee" like when rednecks says "getting a brewsky".

Examples I've seen: artsky, booksky, birdsky

Anyone else? No?? Just me???
February 22, 2025 at 12:38 AM
Seigen does, it is specifically for the people he has petty grudges against so he can keep a timeline of when he needs to go fuck up their day.

Simon doesn't have a day to day todo list, he doesn't have any responsibilities outside the restaurant, but he does partake of a bucket list written at 7.
