Hi. If you're here it must be because you want to read my very long, very kinky indulgence fic Coming of Age.

I'm not sure what to say here. My instinct is to try and put people off, which is silly. You're all adults and can make up your own minds whether a story like this is for you. Here follows a brief description of how I came to write the story in this rather bizarre way and some of what you can expect in it.

Firstly, I've been writing it on and off since February and it's very long indeed - 190,000 words exactly. I know this because all the sections are exactly 1000 words long. Quite why I decided to stick so religiously to this format, I can't now remember but I have done so all the way through, except for the epilogue, which is 2000 words. The story is long and rambly and though there is plot, things grind to a halt quite frequently for various kinky goings on and sometimes the way the story is set up - two parts from one character's POV followed by one part from another character's POV - slows things down a lot. Just warning you in case you're the impatient type.

Other details, as follows:

Setting: An AU, glass-darkly version of AtS season 5, though the plot also diverges in various places from points earlier in the series. Hopefully, these will be self-explanatory.
Pairings: Spike/Angel, Spike/Wesley
Rating: Very NC17 and containing the following bits of nastiness - non-con and semi-non-con, sexual torture, medical kink etc etc. This started off as a slave fic so it also contains the sorts of elements you'd expect to find in those, such as humiliation, objectification etc. There're also some gruesome bits and - because I know some people are very sensitive about these things - there is one chapter where a dog meets an unpleasant end.

Okay, having done my utmost best to put you off, if anyone still wants to read the fic, please leave a comment below and I'll friend you. All fic posts will be flocked.

Can you please re-friend me. I would love to re-read your story. This is one of the best Slave Spike stories that I have ever read!
I can't wait to read the sequel.

Hi, certainly. I don't actually remember defriending you but it's possible it happened when LJ had a funny half-hour a while back and arbitrarily kicked people off other people's flists.

Hi there. Sorry to have been so slow getting back to you. I've been away.

I've friended you so if you want to read the story, friend this LJ back and away you go.

I'd love to play. I hope my Multiple Sclerosis will give me time to read! But this fic sounds right up my alley. And I'm 47, which is, last I checked, many decades past legal age in the U.S. :-)

Hi. I've friended you so if you want to read the story, just friend this LJ back.

Have done! Looking forward to the story. Ah, I wish I had the energy to write at that pace. I can't concentrate even on kinky scenes for more than 15-20 minutes which can be a bit discouraging, but my current Spike/Giles story will get done one of these years. :-)

[identity profile] reasie.livejournal.com 2007-09-20 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Wanna read it! Please?

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry to hear that writing is so difficult for you these days but I much look forward to reading your Spike/Giles story when you do manage to finish it.
