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.
Beautiful illustrations by sueworld2003, LJ layout by japewierd.

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.

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!

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?

Please Let Me Read the Fic!

I am a 53 year old professional woman, with one major kink....I like Spike slash. ANY kind of Spike slash will do. But I happened upon SickChics one day and discovered a whole new world of kink--Spike in pain. What can I say? I like my Spike submissive, and slave stories are the best. Please let me read your fic. I've been reading about it for months and months. Consider it a Christmas present to someone you don't know.

Oh yeah, so ready after the illustrations Sue has been posting. I'm assuming the crash position, feeling a bit scared, but your writing is so wonderful...I can't not read this story.

[k-navit.livejournal.com]

Yes please.

Hi!
I've heard a great deal of your story from SueWorld and because of her artwork I'm hooked. Please "Friend" me your story so I can be part of the fun.
Thanks!

It all sounds so mysterious and intriguing, I'd love to read this, if you'll let me!

[rainkatt.livejournal.com]

I'd love to look at it. No promises whether I'll continue, but you've got me intrigued... If I'm enjoying, nothing much puts me off, and I like the way you write. :-)

[oncebittenspike.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm in. Not so much because of the slave part, but if
Sue says the writing will knock me out, I believe. ;)

So count me in the que...
