Update 14.
Hi, hi, hello! Sorry for the bit of silence, life has just been a bit hectic with school stress etc. (found out that I can't afford to go to my dream university *sob*), but anywayy, do know that I've been getting writing done!So, remember how I said that I'd be starting A or B's scene next, I ended up starting P's scene, haha. As an author, writing IF can be super repetitive and makes it feel like you're reading the same words back — but as a reader, you won't necessarily see it like that because your choices shape...
Update 13.
It's been four days since I last updated on here, and about ten since the last Tumblr progress update. I finished K's first scene of chapter 9!I'm really happy to get it done and over the line, it was a rather fun scene to write because it shows a very different side to them. They're still reeling from what happened in the detective's office, the compulsion, and then seeing the MC again. There are flirt options, options to get to know them more and also a few... hostile ones.The whole of K's scene in that first part of c...
Update 12.
Chapter 9 is still coming along and I'm happy with it so far! On a personal note, my mental health when it comes to writing has been beyond terrible recently, but I'm still getting a lot of words written down, and the main thing is to enjoy it — which for the most part — I am despite all the insecurities.Unfortunately (or maybe not, actually), I had to delete about 1.2k words because... well, new ideas, a bit of a plot change, major side character introduction further along in the story, so the beginning of chapter 9 I originally ha...
Plans [a short story] — Happy Birthday Phoebe/Phoenix!
Plans [a short story]⇢ P’s past and what a potential future could look like with the MC.Happy birthday to my favourite witch/warlock.I think P started off as being very underrated and as the story progressed and I wrote more about them in drabbles etc., they’re probably much more of a fan favourite.They’re intelligent, emotional, kind, suave, and everything you’d want in a friend… and a lover, especially if you plan to/are romancing them.Hope you enjoy this short story for their birthday, do tell me what you think.—Whilst there ar...
Update 11.
Another update! Surely that's a good thing, right?It's another stage where I doubt myself and think, 'have you actually written a lot' — but progress is progress and I'm really getting along with chapter 9 — and most importantly, I'm enjoying it... minus the odd eave of insecurity every now and then.I stuck to my plan from last week — finish A's scene and start the team x MC scenes and that's exactly what I did. The A scene I really enjoy, there are a variety of choices and depending on how you reacted to t...
Update 10.
By my standards, I usually wait a few more days until providing you with an update but because I just finished (no, not the chapter!) but the parts I planned to just now, I thought it would be good to inform you — and obviously give this exclusive update. Actually getting through my plans is super uplifting.I'm sort of splitting everything into parts so I don't get too overwhelmed with how much writing I need to do. Chapter 9 is just over 9k words already and I haven't even gotten halfway through with it. The beginning is very, ve...
Golden — Sneak Peek 4.
asdfghjkl, low key misleading but let your mind run wild A stans
Update 9.
Hiya, hope you're all doing well!I'm in two minds because I feel like I got quite a bit written since my last update, but feel like I haven't at the same time. I wrote near enough 3k words, and it's been really fun to get back into Golden.As you saw from the sneak peeks (if you're on the last two tiers), I'm at the ROs' scenes, and the sneak peek from P's bit isn't a full one on one scene, it's just a general one depending on which option you chose to go with. So, that's basically just the beginning o...
Update 8.
Hellooo, I hope you’re all staying safe and doing well. I was supposed to post this update yesterday but just didn’t manage too. I’ve been getting back into writing Golden. I realised how much I’ve missed these characters, especially the ROs. I’m not one to start writing a chapter until I know what happens in the next chapter, if that makes sense. So, I’m currently writing chapter 9 and now know what I want to happen in chapter 10… early sneak peek, one-on-one scenes, best friend scenes and fake dating 👀 — something a bit mor...
Together ⇢ P Martens
You stretch an arm over as you stir in your sleep. Usually your arm would collide with another, slip around the waist of the person sleeping next to you, but it just hits the cold mattress.You open one of your eyes and really take in that there’s no one beside you. A tired groan escapes you, you rip the duvet off of your legs, let your feet hit against the laminated floor before leaving the bedroom.You tip-toe down the stairs, avoiding the second one as it tends to creak and then turn into the living room. You find P sitting in there, a mug i...
Update 7.
Hiya, hope you’re all doing super well.This is sort of a general/overall update. I took a few days off of writing, only two days, but a break is a break.Before Dusk Sets In’s demo got released, and the feedback has been super lovely. I hope that those who have had a chance to read it really liked it. I had a lot of fun writing it and I’m personally excited to see where it goes. I’ve update the Patreon description to add this IF in it, so when there are a few more chapters up, I’ll start writing drabbles for the ROs (let me know what y...
Favourite People [a short story] — Happy Birthday Athalia/Asher!
Favourite People [a short story] ⇢ A (begrudgingly… sort of... they're softening up so probably not begrudgingly at all) celebrating their birthday with everyone, including you.—Happy birthday to my favourite demi-god(dess)!I think A’s my most controversial character, and definitely the one who is the complete opposite to me in every way possible. Even though it’s going to be a while until they completely open up and fully trust someone other than the other three, it’s going to be lovely watching (well, reading) them reveal a bi...

Update 6.
Hello, hope you’re all doing well!For a Golden update, everything’s been put into A’s birthday piece which has been fun to write. The MC is involved in this story too, so I’m hoping A stans will enjoy it. I’m over halfway done with it, and it’s been really fun to write another side of A that people haven’t seen yet, they’re a little more open and relaxed and A will finally flash a smile… swoon!Before Dusk Sets In, I finished the prologue, chapter one and the first half of chapter two. All in all, it’s all written up. I’ve ...
Update 5.
Hello, hope you’re all okay!For a Golden update, even though much hasn’t been written for the actual demo (it’s close to 230,000 words though!), I’ve done a lot of world-building and note making. With the opportunity to meet supernatural side characters, I have to flesh them out e.g., decide what they are, which RO they’re closest to, how they’ll interact with your MC etc. I’m very excited to get this written, especially the whole human x supernatural interactions too. Additionally, A's birthday is on the 20th April, so I’m ...
Sick Days ⇢ P Martens
“You’re sick,” P says, the back of their hand on my forehead.“I’m fine,” I reply, a clear lie.“I literally just heard you have a coughing fit,” P shoots back. I watch as they barely glance over their shoulder to look at me. They’re standing over the stove, spoon in their hand as they stir the soup they’re making for me.It’s P’s love language, all of this. Well, other than the hand-holding, but the acts of service bits. The soup, making my favourite breakfast in the morning, all the little things I’ve become used to sin...
Drabble Poll 2.
Last poll before I start writing and posting a few drabbles. Which POV would you like these drabbles written in?

Which stage of the relationship would you like drabbles to be written from?
Update 4.
Hope you’re all doing well once again.I think 2022 hates me because this year just said, ‘have bad mental health… and here, have covid too even though you’ve done absolutely everything possible to stay safe!!’ but hey-ho, fingers crossed the rest of the year gets better for me here on out.Despite having covid, I’ve gotten soo much writing and idea-building done! Firstly, Golden: you would’ve seen that I posted the first sneak peek of chapter 9 and as I continue writing, you’ll obviously get more. I’m up to a point where the MC...
Late Night Walks ⇢ K de la Renta
It’s a situation K has never been in before. There’s confusion, mostly in denial, and they both cloud their judgement. A feeling that K can’t possibly admit to themselves.Their hands are firmly stuffed in their jacket pockets — one thing K is sure of, they hate the cold; but a late night walk should be enough to clear their head. That was the plan… all until the rhythmic sound of a human heartbeat hits their ears.K then second guesses themselves.“Surely not,” they mumble, swerving around a corner, and without even squinting they m...
Update 3.
Helloo, I hope you’re all doing well.Mentally, I’m still not doing great, but writing has really been helping me with that.There isn’t much on the Golden front since I last posted an update on here as I’ve been working on the new WIP, I want to get the demo out for it before mid-April and right now, I’m well on the way to doing that.Originally, the Before Dusk Sets In demo was going to stop when you meet 3 of the 5 ROs, but I want readers to get a feel for all 5 of them. Though this will mean more writing until I can release the first...

Update 2.
Helloo, I hope you’re all doing well, and the week has started off brilliantly for you.I was supposed to post this update yesterday, but my life and mental health is still… terrible, to say the least so I didn’t get around to it.On the bright side, the much brighter side, I’ve managed to get some writing done on both WIPs! For those on the silver and gold(en) you would’ve seen that you were introduced to the synopsis and ROs of [redacted], I hope those who have seen it have enjoyed what you’ve read, definitely let me know what you t...
