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.

Hi, Joya. Have friended you. Hope you won't regret it.

Anyway, the first installment is up.

Okay - have done so. First installment is up.

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2006-12-11 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay.

:Is very nervous:

First installment is up. It's a bit of a wait, though, till Angel shows up, just so you know.

Hi. I've been watching sueworld2003's posts for months, enjoying the artwork and waiting patiently for the story. Please friend me! ;-) Thanks! Can't wait to read it.

Me, love. Good lord, I thought we'd have to wait forever. Lovely site and so on!

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2006-12-11 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay - done. The first part is up and it pretty much starts as it means to go on.

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2006-12-11 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay Jan. First part is up and yes it does look nice doesn't it? Nothing really to do with me, though. I just followed Jape's instructions and miraculously it ended up looking like this.

Thank you in advance for choosing the day of my finals to post, because that means I have something to look forward to after all the torment of the educational system. :)

Please let me friend you so I can read this intriguing sounding fic. I'm ready for the long haul with supplies of chocolate and a cushion for the gruesome bits.

[identity profile] mistletoe54.livejournal.com 2006-12-11 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)

Would very much like to read Coming of Age, I've always thoroughly enjoyed any recs that Sue has made and I'm really looking forward to this story. That said - please friend me, so that I can.

[identity profile] shadowscast.livejournal.com 2006-12-12 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like to be friended, please. :)

I can't promise I'll read all the way through—I've met slave fics that have been too much for me—but I definitely want to see it, at least!

[identity profile] so-sharlemaine.livejournal.com 2006-12-12 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm here! I'd like to follow your story. I may have to skip over a thing or two (just the doggie probably), but other than that I'll be fine I'm sure.

I've loved all your other fic and would love to read your latest - despite all the dire warnings. If it turns out to be not my thing, I'll just stop reading. Hope that's ok?

[identity profile] zgirl714.livejournal.com 2006-12-12 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Could you friend me?
