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.

friend me!

i've stumbled upon your page after hearing about your story "coming of age" and i would like to read it...although, i'm not sure as to where i can read it. i figured it would be posted on your page, but you mentioned that your fics would be flocked, so i was hoping that i could be added as a friend so that i can read it.

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2007-11-04 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi. I'll friend you so you can read the story. Coming of Age is the only one of my stories that's flocked, because of the content. Some of my other stories were originally posted in a locked community but all of them are now available at my website except this one.

Hi, unfortunately I can't friend you back unless you can show me that you're over 18, or old enough to read this fic in your country, and since there's no info at all in your user profile, I'm unable to tell.

If you list a birth date (just the year will do) or some other relevant info, I'll be happy to friend you back.

Re: Friend request

[identity profile] angelmayz.livejournal.com 2007-11-14 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry; I didn't realize that the birthdate info from my profile wasn't set up to be visible. I'm new to this whole LJ thing! I've changed that setting now, so hopefully this won't be a problem in the future! I'm 29 and a college professor, so I haven't tended to think about confirming the age thing for a few years now.... So yes, I'm definitely old enough (in Canada) to read adult-only material!

Thanks for your diligence in checking! Please do let me know if there's anything else I should be doing to streamline this process in the future!

No problem. Lots of people don't list their birthdate but you can usually tell something about them - like say, if they're in college and so over 18 or whatever - from the info on their user page.

Don't worry about filling in lots of info on that page if you don't want to, btw. Many people don't like to give away too much personal information. But in view of LJ rules etc, I felt I had to ask just for an approximate age anyway.

I've friended you back. I hope you find something to enjoy in the story. It's very self-indulgent and kinky, which is why I have it tucked away like this.

Friend Me, Please?
