Works in Progress ~ Updated 9/2/21
Hey kuties! So here’s how this works. Basically, with requests it’s first-come, first-serve, unless I absolutely cannot come up with an idea for your request to save my life. Even then, I’ll still probably make you all wait until my brain comes up with something 😆 Once I come up with a plan for what to write for your request, it goes into the “Idea Stage” and just moves on down until it hits the “Final Touches Stage.”
Requests are currently CLOSED!! For more information, see my Big Announcement Update post.

Queued Up
Remember how far you've come as a writer!
In fifth grade my main story started with the line: "One stormy night in the middle of a summer night, Alice Simmer sat on her bed."
Other gems from this work include: "the orphanage committee" (because having parents ruins the story) trying to stop our protagonist from her goal that's never stated, a stray dog called Yip that incited the few plot events instead of the protagonist, and the other eleven year old running from the police for no discernable reason who moved from living in a tree at the park to sleeping in a trash can outside Alice's house because I decided she needed a best friend.
First/Last Line Tag!!!!

"I'm gonna hurl."

Last Lines I Wrote (general):
Oh, God. The girl. Was she dead? Connor couldn't tell. He smelled blood, a lot of it. He tasted it. He bit her. Like some feral animal! Like some kind of monster. She's breathing. That's good, right? Alarick howled. Go back. But she's dying! What can you do? You can't help her. You hurt her. You are your mother's monster after all.
Some fun Hidnight trivia, as a treat:
The girl Connor bites in this scene is named Florence and she's a character in a spin-off short story set in the same universe. Florence was originally a completely separate story I dreamed up one night as I struggled to fall asleep then later decided to put in the same world. However, its inciting incident (Florence being bitten) didn't align with the lore of Hidnight which is that only certain werewolves can transmit lycanthropy via bite (Connor becomes one of them). I then (independently) realized that I was protecting Connor from consequences too much so I let him actually fuck up and hurt people and suddenly Florence fit in the same universe!
I made this note back in May:
I keep coming up with spin-off stories set in the same world as Hidnight except no I don't because the inciting incidents fundamentally conflict with the important world logic previously established in the core story.
Coming up with these spin-offs has helped me cement the themes of the original story so it's not all bad.
Finally almost done with the next chapter of the Fifth Turtle!!! 49 will get to meet the whole fam and some… secrets will be revealed.
