curse you, latest commenter

Due to your evil ideas, my afternoon has flown away, spent writing a pornless Fugaku/Minato short that was supposed to be a drabble and will not fucking end and has way too much worldbuilding because of course I have to explain how things ended up the way they did in the main Unconventional training verse.

(Okay, it’s really just me to blame. But I’m cursing you anyway, commenter! You know who you are!!! Also I’ll respond to your comment when I’m actually done with this fic, so that’s your punishment. It could be today, or tomorrow, or in three weeks from now, and you have no control, mwahahahah!!!!!!!)

Unconventional instructor part 2 up

Forgot to update here in my haste to post it last night, lol. It’s here at AO3.

Also just got to the point in part 3 that I’ve realized I miscounted the chapter length for this fic, just like the last one. There will be a part 4. So the chapter count on AO3 is gonna be a question mark for now, as it should probably have been from the beginning, orz.

Unconventional training sorta sequel

Just posted the first chapter of Unconventional instructor on AO3, because I couldn’t help myself. I’m sure someone out there was dying to read Itachi’s take on what happened; now, o dear someone, you will have it.

Updates will come pretty much whenever I want. I don’t know how many chapters it’ll end up having, but I’m already working on the second one, and know I have enough material for at least a third. Much of what happens is just a new perspective on the goings on in Unconventional training, but I have been doing my best to sneak new scenes in.

ass vs arse, update news and bloggy things

So I’m probably going to be updating Karaoke Heavens chapters everywhere today once I post chapter 6 in an hour or so. I don’t often dip into the writing thread on meme for questions, half because I do best figuring story-related shit out on my own and half because hey, google exists. But the answer to the question of ‘ass’ vs ‘arse’, while googleable, felt just sterile enough that I turned to meme for confirmation.

Said confirmation means I’m going to go through all of Heavens with a fine-toothed ass-finding comb, because oh my god I use the word a lot more than I thought. And even though I know the text isn’t a perfect representation of vaguely futuristic British English, I’d still like it to be as close to that as possible >.>

Wrt bloggy things, I think I’m going to drop the expectation that I’ll post an update every time I post a new Heavens chapter. Two out of three of the platforms I’m posting on have subscriptions, and the only reason you’d even end up here to look for what the fuck’s going on is when there’s been no regular update for a day or so, so. Stories without an update schedule get new update posts, stories with a schedule only get them when I’m going to miss the schedule by a day or so. Story parts that I post on meme will definitely only get an update post if I feel like it, as meme is my wishy-washy experimental place.

Probably this update thing needs to be cut out and pageified for reference, but I’ll just let it go for now. I’ve got a chapter to edit, and a chapter half to maybe post on meme if the post hasn’t turned over yet. I have now used the word ‘update’ eight times.

New story up >.>

So I finally got around to archiving the sprawling meme WIP I’ve recently been working on. It’s called Love Against the Karaoke Heavens. It has an entirely superfluous cover. It’s currently on AO3 and ScribbleHub, and will likely be posted on RoyalRoad as well. I’ve got about 14 chapters already written, with a plan for roughly 4-6 more for the main story, and maybe 4 more for extras. Updates will be twice a week, Wednesdays and Sundays.

I’ve been wanting to write something with an unapologetically fat protagonist for a while now. This is my first attempt, and probably nowhere near my last; if you’re into Asian webnovels in general and danmei in particular, this should hopefully be an indulgent read.
