Post "Sadly no secret tier release tonight but...a Q&A with Ellie!" by "bestkeptsecret" from patreon

OftheLiminal

Thank you Ellie 💜 I was really hoping to write for BKS one day. Perhaps when I am not dealing with the confines of school.

Ellie

Dude, I was in honors English my whole schooling but I was scraping by with a C BARELY. When I took creative writing I nearly failed. School is great but it is always more technical than life, so even if it's hard, stick with it. I'm wishing you so so so much luck!

OftheLiminal

Ellie, I am so behind, but I just want you to know that I have gained an even greater appreciation for your writing because this Fiction Writing class is kicking my ass. I have always loved your work 💜

AuntieKinky

It’s in the pinned post hun.

Lily

Hey! I’m trying to get to the discord can anyone send the link?

AuntieKinky

Unfortunately no. We can not take the chance of a minor accessing the 18+ server due to things discussed there.

Angeluna Fortuna

Going out in a limb is tough sometimes. Thank you for sharing. 😊

jjess

Hey I do want to join a dark room on discord but I have to verify my age. The thing is I don’t feel comfortable to share my photo with you guys. can I just submit the form with out my photo?

Ellie

The Boss's Denial, one of my favorite scripts I've ever written but other things didn't quite go the way we wanted them to and I feel like it could be better. But it happens and I'm happy with myself for doing my best and trying something I'm not used to

Angeluna Fortuna

So many good questions here. And thank you Ellie for answering and giving us a peek into your process. I know there are tons of steps and the finished product seems much more collaborative than expected. Ok question. Is there an audio you wish got more traction? Or perhaps didn’t quite stick the landing that you’d like to give another go? Writing or edit wise?

LuckyPenguin

Ooo 'Never Enough Time' was amazing! Definitely one of my favourite standalones! We love having you around and will continue to give you our love and support, you are very deserving of it! Much love 💜

Ellie

I've never been put on edge by comments, even critiques, I use comments to see what I can do better in the future because I know I'm not perfect. There were some amazing comments from the requester of Never Enough Time that made me cry with how sweet they were. I won't say they were my favorite because I love all my comments but they did make me cry the hardest. (Not the first time I've cried when someone enjoyed an audio I did) I don't pick favorites with comments because people are so kind and I like to go back and re-read all of them when I want some support. Everyone is just super lovely and amazing

LuckyPenguin

Hey Ellie! I know we talk on the Discord server but still wanted to show my appreciation here too. Everyone's already asked some awesome questions and I've learned so many new things about you! You've said previously that you really like my long comments. Has there been a comment, or part of one, that put you on edge? Or one you really loved? I fully intend on doing a deep dive comment on the Galaxy series, now that I'm no longer traumatised by part 5 haha. I'm still committed to working my way though the back catalogue and always love it when I come across your scripts. Great work maintaining the AirTable btw! Definitely helping me keep track! I'm super excited to see your writing develop and being part of this awesome community with you. Much love 💜 Ps. I realise this was a long winded message with only one question haha 😅

Ellie

Yeah, I have over 121 started scripts. Some I might rewrite one day. But some I may just let go. I hate scrapping things so I tend to just shelve them until I use or rewrite them

Sarah O'Leary

Was there ever a script you started writing, agonized over, and then scrapped?

Ellie

Most of them are, but I also write requests people make on the website so I can't take total credit, other than that though, it's me

ivy

I am soo late but are your scenarios/ideas straight from the dome?

Karolina

Omg, I'm melting 😍 ❤️ He sounds so cute!!! I'm so glad that you have such a beautiful friend in your life, Ellie 🥰

yellowbricks

a highlight. lol

Ellie

I don't, I would say just keep it simple. Starting out you don't need to go to extremes

Huni

Not sure if this has been asked before but do you have any scripts to recommend a beginner Va/Asmr artist?

Ellie

His Galaxy is almost over, that's all I can say ;) The most recent does leave you hanging but it's not bad.

Ellie

I don't discuss possible or impossible future projects because even if I can write them, it's not up to me. But the threesomes are always fun. If you want to see what's upcoming follow Rob on twitter, he shares some of the projects to expect @bks_secret He just did a preview for a MASSIVE project coming Christmas time

sweetpea091417

I’m sure it’s already been asked, but could we expect another possible threesome audio in the future?

Persephone

Little late to the party, Joy of been in the southern hemisphere, different times zones 😂. His Galaxy, how many episodes/chapters do you predict it will have? I really wanna listen to the latest one but I don’t know if I feel like been left hanging 😂

Peaking_Pam

Haha! Robinson’s dancing is so adorably cringe! 😂 You are phenomenal tho Ellie.

Single4Ever

Thank you thank you thank you thank you so much for your writing. I loved the Robinson and Chambers threesome and made the suggestion for Robinson and Gallo so when that came out I lost my mind. Lol it was so fantastic and I’m hoping if we ask nicely we’ll have another one sometime in the future?…or maybe a reverse harem kind of story. Yes, I know, I have issues lol again thank so much for all of your wonderful work. 🧡🧡

Ellie

I don't know if it's necessarily embarrassing but in the R/G threesome, Robinsons dancing was atrocious 😂

The_rat_king

What's the most embarrassing thing you have had to write?

pretty

Thanks !Thank you, you are very, very talented and ...taking advantage of the opportunity.....maybe request a sequel or prequel to: "just can have only one" please 🙏 💕 💜 💖 It's my favorite audio It's the audio that as soon as I heard it on YouTube it made me create a Patreon account and say take my money please Please

Di

As a coffee-addicted person myself, I can fully understand you ❤️

Ellie

Beat way to treat myself is probably unhealthy but I order coffee. I'm addicted, and expensive but I have that. I write in silence with my dog. No responsibilities, just relaxing writing

Di

Ellie, thank you so much for your answers! Also, I am sending a thousand kisses to Taco :) Hope, I can ask one more question 😅 What is your ideal self-care day and the best way to treat yourself?

Di

Ellie, I am absolutely in love with your responsible approach to everything 🥹

Ellie

That they are amazing and can have a satisfying sex life. It's not easy but they can. We aren't taught to advocate for that but hopefully we can all get there

Ellie

BKS is how I discovered scriptwriting. I had never considered it before. And BKS is my primary job right now. Writing is just a part of it

MorinoKuma2

I’m late my question has pretty much been answered so just wanna say thank you so much for every single script you created you’re marvelous Ellie!!👑

Lady Vulpine

Thanks for all you do for the BKS community. A lot of people credit bks with empowering them in the bedroom and outside it as well. What do you hope people take away or learn from your writing?

PhoenixMoon

I sure will. She says thank you ☺️

San

Thank you for being part of my life and for all the joy you give me. 🌺

luxedreams15

How did you discover script writing? Do ever you plan to make this a full time career? I love your work 🤗

Amano

just when i thought you can't be more talented

Ellie

It's not mine but I suggested the title to Snoooza

Ellie

Whilst I love both of those, it's being a part of a community that I love more than anything. I feel like I belong, I have friends. I'm cared about, I matter and they matter to me. Writer or not. Admin or not. I belong here

That Goddess Luna

What's your favorite part of working with everyone? Is it the writing or seeing all of the excitement of the BKS community?

Ellie

I love you too! Thank you! ❤️

Ellie

Thank you! ❤️

Ellie

I have 121 started scripts... some will never see the light of day, some will. I don't think there is a particular plot right now that I haven't yet done that I'm thinking about. But there will be eventually ❤️

moi_la_desi

"Help, there's a knight in my kitchen!" is my fav BKS titel (even tho I don't remmber, if it's one of your scripts, tbh.)

Its_EsterB

Do you have any scripts where you started writing and then just couldn’t finish it? Any plots/ideas you want to try to complete in the future? I feel like writers can be their own worst critics.

Tam80

Love you, Ellie!!!! You're awesome

Cosmo

Not a question but I really love your work. 🥺🥺

Ellie

Take your time. You are going to learn a lot and you want to really pay attention. It's not a race and there is no rush.

Doña Yayi

Okk!!! Another question!!!! Doña Ellie what is your advice for someone who wants to start writing or do VA work for the first time????

yellowbricks

i hear ya. that makes sense.

yellowbricks

😂😂😂

Ellie

I'm so glad, I promise you, writing has helped me through so much as well so knowing I could help others really means the world to me.

Doña Yayi

Oh gawds the threesomes 😮😳 yesss the best work ever and with all my favorite VAs the best!!!! Trust i am still shooketh with those stories! And yes the protector with Mr. Robinson was 🤌💋❤️ there is nothin more beautiful then a big hunk of man who is just so protective and loveable towards his beloved!!!! A man who will put his hands in fire for his muse 😊❤️. I look forward to see and listen to more of your amazing work Doña Ellie!!!! ❤️👏👏👏👏🫂🫂🫂🫂

Ellie

It was so weird. It was His Galaxy 1, and for months I couldn't finish it, I would get nervous and have to turn it off. I finally forced myself to finish it and I enjoyed it.

yellowbricks

Thank you so much, Ellie- for all you have done and continue to do. You are an amazing talent and you've got yourself a pool of fans here!! Your stories have really helped me through some tough shit, and I am so grateful for your art. 💐💐💐

Ellie

Weirdly enough I made references from A League of Their Own in an audio. I also made a reference to HalloweenTown in another one. Outside of that, I tend to keep movies/books and stuff out of it because then I can't get immersed. I think of the actors or characters that were there originally and get stuck.

Ellie

The best is that it allows for a lot of different responses and personalities for the listener to insert themselves into the story... The worst is that sometimes getting the subtext and what they are trying to convey is hard without a full conversation.

yellowbricks

what was it like hearing your script come to life for the first time?

Ellie

One I haven't mentioned yet that I'm proud of is 'Sugar and Spice' with Mr. Aston. It was out of my comfort zone, and I was really concerned with how people would enjoy it but I think Aston did amazing. He really made it come to life

yellowbricks

what movies/shows/characters/music have your drawn influence from for your writing (if at all)?

yellowbricks

What are the best and worst parts about writing one side of a dialogue?

Ellie

I've never heard of novella November. I'll do some research

Amano

LOVE IT!

Ellie

"It's supposed to be hard, if it wasn't hard everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great" - Tom Hanks 'A League of Their Own'

Deanna Tyson

You’ve written so much and they been wonderful and amazing. Which of your stories are you most proud of?

Worlds of Cyn

Do you involve yourself in the Novella November? What format do you use? More like script for movie or plays?

Jess George

I would love to be able to do something like that. I love my writing and would sdore to have a job like this 🥹😍

Amano

Okay I promise this will be my last question, what is a line from a book/movie/poem etc. that you return to from time and time again?

Ellie

I don't know, maybe, maybe not. Only time will tell

Ellie

Thank you! My biggest advice is take your time. There is no rush, the script will not grow legs and walk away. Do research, find your characters, really know your story. Speed is for later

yellowbricks

Are we going to get a Merry Christmas Sweetheart part 2?! Yes or yes?

Ellie

Of released audios the two threesomes and 'Your Protector' are my favorites. I love protective and men who aren't afraid to be soft for you. I don't have a least favorite. The script I was most afraid of releasing was 'The Weight of Our Love', I was really concerned about the reception and how people would like it but I'm so glad that people did enjoy it. I love all your comments and I read them over and over again. I really appreciate you.

pretty

I love your work!! Any advice for anyone who wants to start writing scripts...at least as a hobby?

Ellie

I really appreciate that, and yes, a man doing chores, or just not having to do them is the best. I have thought of writing one, maybe one day. Right now I don't have the time or attention span but maybe one day

Doña Yayi

Ohhh my heart i have no questions to ask but I would like to say that you do such a wonderful job with your work Doña Ellie !!!!! Just beautiful 🙂....wellll 🤔🤔🤔🤔 maybe i do have a question? I dunno its a silly one maybe lol..my question is of all the scripts that you have written...which one is your most beloved one? The one that squeezes your heart still...and which one is your least favorite?

windy

Ellie I absolutely love your work, especially when you have the VA washing dishes or cleaning the house (drool, sigh…) lol. Will you (or have you) written a romance novel?

Ellie

I love to read. Right now my favorite is 'Red White and Royal Blue' but it really depends on my mood

Ellie

I really didn't. I liked writing so I tried it, I'm still a little shocked people enjoy them XD

SexyyLexyy

Do you like to read? If so what’s your favorite book :)

yellowbricks

when did you realize you have a knack for storytelling?

Ellie

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy them!

Ellie

Yeah... I do prefer the shorter snappy titles

Amano

I still remember those early audios you guys put out that just use a line from the script as titles... I digress

Daniela ✨

Thank you so much for what you do! Your scripts are some of my favorites! 🥰

Ellie

Titles always come last. THEY ARE SO HARD! You have to make them make sense, catch someone's eye, and because there are 465 audios you need to make sure it's different from the other titles

Ellie

I don't really have one. I just love writing and being a support for people but I don't really know other than that. I'm just happy to be here, really. :)

Ellie

I have a corgi named Taco, he is a fully trained service dog and cuddle expert

Amano

How difficult or how easy it is for you to come up with a title for your script?

Ellie

Make sure to give Lola a kiss for me!

Ellie

Aww, Love you too!!!

Anonbot

dream role working in an nsfw community

Ellie

Other than building the character to start, I have different candy flavors that I have depending on the mood of the script. Cherry is for the rougher audios, Green apple is pretty vanilla, middle of the road. Strawberry for the romantic and sweet. Then I tend to nap after I write, just to reset. :)

Karolina

Oh how wonderful ❤️ Sounds like a perfect place to be 🥰 May I ask what dog have you got and what's his/her name?

Cat.Q🐈‍⬛

Thank you! Love you!

Ellie

No, I prefer total silence to focus, hearing aids out, no sound

Amano

i don't know how to deal with this information i need a minute (to laugh my ass off) thank you for sharing you're the best!!!

Ellie

Do you mean like title for my dream role in the company?

Ellie

Chambers can juggle and when Gal is sad, he juggles things to distract her until he ultimately drops them when he starts laughing at her laugh :)

Ellie

Writing is my relaxation, my most comfortable is writing in my bed with my dog, typically in total silence with my hearing aids out. :)

Ellie

This might be weird but when I'm really focused I bite and chew on my lips and it can get really bad so I always have something like a lolipop or a sucking candy, something to fiddle with in my mouth to stop chew on my lips. :)

Curvesomemermaid

Omg! Thank you so much for answering my question!!! I'm honestly a little surprised but incredibly grateful! But that's completely understandable! Thank you again! Please take care!

Ellie

I do know how much you appreciate me, thank you. Question 1: We don't do 1on1's often. The mods and admins are usually always in contact via discord, and we have meetings so that we are always on the same page. Q2: I can write pretty far from my preferences. I always want to try and expand my comfort and try things I usually don't so that I can learn from them. Sometimes I write what I like, sometimes I write what others would enjoy even if it's not my thing, but I always enjoy it even if it's not my thing. :) I started as a mod for BKS at 19, I started writing for BKS at 20, and I'm going to be 22 in three months.

Amano

you got the right idea, but it was worth the wait

Sassifras

Any writing rituals you participate in before, during, and after?

Ellie

I really appreciate that!!! Thank you

Ellie

Some have a particular VA, but if Rob thinks it doesn't fit them, I'm usually okay with it. It's more VA's who can't do it because of their boundaries. :) I'm so glad you've enjoyed them, and thank you for respecting boundaries

Amano

Do you listen to any type of music or white noises when you write?

Kalli

Hahaha!! Well your work is absolutely amazing! Would love to work with you one day🖤

Ellie

I think the 9 months kinda added to it XD

Ellie

I am not in charge of VAs lol. All Rob XD

Anonbot

is there a specific role/title you’d like to promote to working in this community?

Ellie

It's easier to write what I know, but no matter what, I do research. There's a lot of research needed depending on the topic and accuracy really matters to me. I know some people will want to try what they hear and I need them to be safe. :)

Ellie

I found BKS on PH and became a member. I really enjoyed it and got active with the discord community. Became a mod and got to know more people. I've always been a writer of fiction stories and I decided that I really wanted to try my hand at a script. Took a few tries [Rob rejected the first draft of His Galaxy ;) It needed work.] but I got there and I'm very happy that I stuck with it :)

Ellie

My favorite is the rush when everything flows perfectly, and you can see where it's going... My least favorite would be when I realize there is a gap or continuity error that would break the entire premise and I have to find a way to fix the hole. :)

Amano

Since you mentioned you have an entire world built for His Galaxy, what is a weird, hyper-specific detail you know about one of the characters that you haven't but would like to share with us? ps. the camera thing in part 6 brought me so much life🤓

Ellie

Sometimes the story requests really help me... Sometimes an idea just pops into my head. There have been a few where I thought of a line in another script, but it didn't quite fit, so I built a script around that line. :)

Ellie

OOOOO! This is a hard one! I think it's between You Can't Have Just One, The Recording Studio and Your Protector, they were all so much fun to do and I am incredibly proud of them :)

PhoenixMoon

How wonderful! I love the name Taco. I have a GSD (German shepherd) named Lola. Not a service dog, but my world just the same. Thank you for the response ❤️

Ellie

Dog, I love cats but I'm allergic. I have a service dog. He's a corgi named Taco and he's my world :)

Ellie

I think about the characters first. Who is the VA and what is their relationship with the listener. I build an entire personality and life, how many siblings they have. What do they do, who are their friends. What are their dreams. It's what takes the longest and builds everything I write. :)

Ellie

I think they both have their moments. I like the short one parts because they are bitable, they are easy to enjoy in one sitting without a ton of time. The multiple parts are fun when you have time to really build a story. I love building a story, every one of my characters has a personality created before I ever start scriptwriting. His Galaxy is the longest one I've done, and I have an entire world built for it in my mind that I love every part of, but they are a time commitment, so they all have their place. :)

Ellie

Thank you so much! 1. My favorite series that I did was His Galaxy, at this point I'm just as emotionally involved as everyone else. My favorite series from another person was Suit and Size Kink. I'm a sucker for a suave rich man. My favorite topic is anything pregnancy/breeding related. My favorite archetype changes for each VA. Rich Robinson, Strong Commanding Gallo, Soft Sweet Chambers. 2. Sometimes I'll start a script with a VA in mind, but not always. Sometimes I just really like a topic and I write it broadly enough to fit any VA. I don't change scripts once a VA is picked, I give Rob my preference if I have one or he picks who he wants it to go to. 3. If you mean which VA is easier to write with them in mind, it's Gallo. He is a lot of fun to write for and He is the smoothest for me. Please correct me if I misinterpreted this question, happy to re-answer. 4. It really depends. My shortest time ever writing a script is 1h and 13m. That one actually recently came out. There really isn't an average, some VA's record faster, some editors have more time, It can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months really. :)

Amano

nooooo we didn't hate you for it! okay we might have for a little bit but we love you so so much more🥺❤️

Amano

there's nothing basic about pregnancy related stuff if anything that is super advanced kink-wise IMO🤣

Ellie

It depends. His Galaxy it was "They are going to hate me" but usually it's I really hope they enjoy this more than they are frustrated by it because I know a lot of us love when stories get tied up with a bow, but cliffhangers bring an interesting drama. :)

Ellie

Thank you!!! I'm very basic with my tropes. I think my top three would be Boss/Employee, Friends to Lovers, and anything pregnancy related. I just have a thing, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I love it. :)

Ellie

I appreciate that so much. I don't have a green thumb but I really try to take good care of plants. I'm always learning. As for the food... I'm a HUGE pasta lover. I will make hundreds of types of pastas. I'm an extremely picky eater so pasta helps me try new foods. :)

Karolina

Hi Ellie ❤️ Thank you for all your wonderful scripts and hard work that you out into making this platform such an amazing place to be! What is your favourite thing to do to relax or a place where you relax?

Ellie

I don't know. Sometimes I'll just think of a really good line and build a story around it. Sometimes I see such a fun story request and think "That one!" Sometimes it's just something I think I'd like to hear and I give it a shot. :)

Ellie

I've been writing since I was 13 years old, I think. So 8 years-ish. I appreciate the compliment. Practice always makes perfect. Listen to critiques. Some people can be rude but the ones that really want you to learn from your mistakes are going to teach you so much more than your compliments ever could. :)

Kalli

Can I send you my audition reel!? Lol.

Ellie

I don't remember. I've been writing as long as I can remember but BKS inspired me to learn script writing. Before it was completely fiction stories. :)

Ellie

I would. I think it would be really interesting and a new kind of fun :)

Amano

What is something about your writing process that YOU think is really weird?

moi_la_desi

So here's my actual question: Can you discribe a bit how close the interaction of the whole BKS team is? I'm specifically not asking about the VAs here. But does the rest of you ever get together (in online meetings) as a larger group? Or is it really just Rob with everyone of you individually? And a 2nd question: How far from your own personal preferences are you able to write? What I mean, do you give scripts a direction/atmosphere that you yourself would like to read about or hear? Or do you also write stories and dialoges, just cause they've been requested or you just know, they'll be well recieved from the community. PS: You know already, how much I appreciate all your work for the BKS community and how much I adore your scripts. And if I'm not mistaken you're rather young on top of it all, which makes it all the more impressive. So hats off to you!

moi_la_desi

It feels like Ellie is doing constant Q&As on discord anyway. "Eliie, where do I ...? How can I ...? What was the ...?" 😘 I'll put my question(s) in the first comment.

Kara Ax

I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful scripts ❣️

Curvesomemermaid

Only if you're comfortable answering this question but I'll admit I am curious: When you write some of your scripts, do you write them with a particular VA in mind or which VA would fit the part you're writing for? Thank you so much for all the scripts you've written!

Linaaa

Is it easier to write a script about something that is not your own „fantasy“ or about something that actually is your „fantasy“ (ps. I really think it’s an incredible work you do and one shouldn’t only admire the VA‘s <3)

Jess George

How did you start with best kept secrets. That sounds so exciting! I'd love to be able to do something like that one day. I'd love to know how u got started. I'd love an opportunity like that. I love writing and that is such a fun thing to do.

Amano

What’s your favorite and least favorite part of writing a script?

Neela

Where do you get the inspiration to write amazing Stories? I love your writing♥️

Tera La'Shun

What's your favorite script you've written so far?

PhoenixMoon

Are you a dog or cat person?

( ^ω^ )

How do you start writing a script? What is the thought process you have to go through before you begin writing?

Amano

Which do you enjoy writing more, long story with multiple parts or lovely one-parters?

Di

Ellie, first, I want to thank you for the amazing work you are doing there. Your talent is absolutely incredible 💙 There are some of my questions: 1. What are your favorite scripts/series and why? Though you made a lot of scripts with different plots, what are your favorite topics or character types? 2. How does the work on a script start? Do you know already who will record the script you are writing or you make a more general draft and later add some VA’s signature things (like Mr. Robinson’s favorite pet name “princess”)? 3. If you initially know which VA you are writing a script for, then whose image/character is easier for you to get into and to put it in a new script? 4. How long it takes on average to write a script? And how long does it take on average between writing a script and releasing an audio?
