maybe one day, but as a feel-oriented writer, vampires bring up the possibility of experiences I'm not super into describing very viscerally.
I'm not a big fan of pain. it hurts!!

Big fan of all your writing, I grabbed the physical set of your light novels a while back and loved them all. I have not read much of Her Majesty The Prince, but I've liked what I've read and hope to get into it at some point.
thank you for all you do.
thank you so much for reading! <3 <3 <3
Her Majesty The Prince is bonkers good. I've told you personally a million times (and I've [told you about how I will continue to tell you] a million times), and I will continue to say it whenever good opportunities arise: HMTP is something really, really remarkable and it's really cool to watch you stack it up and stitch it together chapter by chapter.
thank you jade ;_; <3 <3 <3
it started as a tiny bit of inspired microfiction and grew into such a wild, frenzied work of passion that it completely took over my life for the past year and a half... and I'm so much better for it. thanks for taking a chance on it so early on and sharing your thoughts as I write it and helping me make it better as a result—it's meant a lot to me
I'm going to do my best to make this the best story I've written yet <3
Would you say your light novels focus more on the transformation itself, describing the changes, etc, or are they more about the post-transformation stuff?
both!
would you believe Cat Wishes almost didn't have a transformation scene? I kind of added it at the last minute as I was writing it, and then it turned out to not only be one of the pivotal scenes in the book, but also set the stage for almost every book I've written since!
I really like describing transformation with words since it lets me be really creative with feelings, but honestly what happens afterwards is equally important to me. getting to transition changed me in immense, incredible ways; it gave every mundane experience new life, every aspect of my day to day a new sensory coat of paint. living got so much more vibrant and intense and personal afterwards that I want to keep writing about it for a long time, through the eyes of characters who take different (often magical) paths to that same destination
and though my latest work Her Majesty The Prince focuses almost exclusively on the post- part of the experience, I feel that all my previous books have led up to it.
thanks for reading! <3
