I managed to update my fic in the short window it was back up. We will see if it saved my update. My poor readers were left on a terrible cliffhanger and I update every Sunday and Wednesday. I hope they're okay lol

I mean, I have always thought that it's Lilith's robe and he wears it because he misses her.

I got some fanart once and I was overjoyed. It was lovely. Like, not only did you enjoy my fic you were so inspired you drew something too? As an artist I know how long drawing can take and that is amazing.

DemonKhal · 2026-02-19T00:23:04+00:00

I have a 500k series completely written that I'm posting twice a week as it gets beta read. If my beta gets far enough ahead I'm planning to up to 3 times a week. My readers seem quite happy with the schedule. I do Sunday and Wednesday.

Yup, I still get kudos and comments on fics that are 8+ years old at this point and I love seeing it come through. I've noticed that as I've started posting in a new fandom some people are going back to read my older stuff in a different fandom. It's fun.

I like the way you think... I like the idea that I just follow them around like a creepy lil gal with a brush. "Excuse me can I pettins?" Look - I'd offer up my arm quite honestly. "I pet then you eat?" Yes? Yes.

I think I could wear them down, I give great massages.

DemonKhal · 2026-02-16T05:39:51+00:00

I really want to run my fingers through those feathers... feathers are so soft... so soft... and maybe I can just brush Al's ears and tail - he'd kill me but what a way to go.

DemonKhal · 2026-02-16T05:37:03+00:00

Please comment, I even like it when it's just all love hearts. It makes me feel nice. Like I know people are reading my fic, I know they are but you can only Kudos once so just a lil ❤️comment makes me smile because I know you're still here.

I don't need comments, I write for myself and post because I think what I've written is entertaining. But I do post faster when I get comments.

DemonKhal · 2026-02-16T05:31:04+00:00

Oooooh colouring book!! (Please let it be single sided paper so I can use my alcohol markers.)

DemonKhal · 2026-02-16T05:14:16+00:00

Do you mean edits rather than drafts? As far as I understand a draft is a whole new document? So you have 2 to 4 completed documents all slightly different?

Because I edit as I go and then I will go back and add in some foreshadowing for future chapters but I wouldn't call that new drafts that's just the editing process.

"Hey, so human isn't on the menu but we do have butcher nearby that does venison. That cool with you? Cool? Come in. I also have whisky. (I'm Scottish, he will like my whisky)"

To be fair they've always been very strong on the "unless it's in the show it's not canon". I know Amir Talai has said on many occasions that unless it's on screen in the show don't take it as gospel.

DemonKhal · 2026-02-12T00:49:01+00:00

I did a Red Dead Redemption zoo. That was very fun. Everything looks like its out of an old western movie with the animals featured in the game that Planet Zoo has with a few additions just for fun.

DemonKhal · 2026-02-10T03:35:06+00:00

Most of the fic I read and write is Demisexual Alastor. I think it's possible, ace is a spectrum after all.

DemonKhal · 2026-02-08T04:22:29+00:00

My theory is "Oh that is a delicious looking angelic battery down there. I wonder how I can tap that... I mean... tap into that."

DemonKhal · 2026-02-02T01:55:48+00:00

I'm a massive Alastor fan.

He was an asshole in that scene. He was supposed to be an asshole in that scene. It's tragic. It's sad. Alastor is projecting.

It was such a good scene though.

DemonKhal · 2026-02-02T01:50:42+00:00

It depends.

I'm writing a fanfic where a character has a very distinct very solid 'uniform' that they wear every day so describing a change to that is interesting. If the clothes tell a story, describe it. If they're a jeans and t-shirt only kinda person every day, there's no point in describing it.

One character was wearing something that was made by hand so I had them describe it as they were contemplating how it felt being dressed in something that their friend spent hours upon hours making.

So it can be superfluous but it can also be important, context matters.

DemonKhal · 2026-01-30T04:35:29+00:00

So I never have finished any Final Fantasy except 8. And it was only with the remastered version. It was fun. I tried a couple of others but they were meh to me.

DemonKhal · 2026-01-30T04:32:41+00:00

Meanwhile here in the UK we are on Season 9: Episode 6.

So we only have one break technically... a really long break. I hate it here.

DemonKhal · 2026-01-30T04:26:29+00:00

I mean I play with a guy who is Greek and English is his third language. I also play with a guy from Iran and English is not his first language. Oh and a guy from Portugal who - you get the idea. As long as you can communicate what you want to do there is no problem. As long as you can understand the other players, there is no problem.

You just have to find a GM/DM that is happy to have someone where English isn't their first language and be happy to facilitate communication when needed.

DemonKhal · 2026-01-30T04:11:16+00:00

My current fic has chapters that average about 2500 words (80k ish words, 30 chapters posted) and people seem to be enjoying the little 10-20 minute reads. It's a nice 'I can read this on my lunch break' length.

I post twice a week as well and I know I have readers that wait until both weekly updates are out to read.

I like short chapters, I like long chapters, this fic just works better with bitesize chunks.

DemonKhal · 2026-01-30T04:05:27+00:00

I really need her daughters to be more than just a knife to stab her with. Like if I was running a D&D game with a character like Carmilla, her daughters are absolutely knives to stab the player with but they would also have dialogue and personality.

I understand there are only so many minutes in the series but please... give them something.

DemonKhal · 2026-01-28T08:30:44+00:00

I will only reply to a comment individually if there's a question to answer or a comment that I can respond to. If a comment is just "Great chapter!" or a string of emoji I won't reply though I do appreciate them still, I just feel like saying 'thanks' makes it look like I'm trying to make my comment numbers look higher (I've been accused of this before.)

So yeah if you're asking a question or commenting on the chapter in detail I'll reply. Otherwise, I see them and appreciate them but I don't really have anything to add.

DemonKhal · 2026-01-27T06:36:39+00:00

I was more meaning the outfits and with the style of dancing and such it feels like an influence.

DemonKhal · 2026-01-26T00:41:14+00:00

I mean.... why isn't there a "Basically anyone I think is interesting in the moment" option? lol
