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.

Thanks for telling me. Anyway, I've friended you. Hope you enjoy, though if not, I'd be grateful if you could defriend again when you leave. Thanks.

Hey! Can I be added too please??

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2009-04-03 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I will, but since it seems we share no LJ interests/friends in common, I'd be grateful if you could tell me where it was you heard of this story. Thanks.

I'm afraid I'd need some proof that you're over 18 first and there's no info on your user profile.

I've actually been reading your stories on your website for years now, and I've always loved your erotica. You have a very creative mind and it's clear in how you bring characters into new (and hot) situations without making it implausible.

The reason none of this is listed as interests on my LJ is because 1. I never keep up with that list, I'm too lazy to to tedious work like that, and 2. I haven't been in Buffy fandom for quite a while now. But I realized that I'd never read this and I've always wanted to, so, I'm making a foray back!

ahh ok I usually set my user info etc to private so you probs couldnt see it I think its on there now though!

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2009-04-06 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, thanks. I'll friend you back.

Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'll friend you back.

Sure, though if you find you don't like the stories, I'd be grateful if you would defriend again when you leave. Thanks.

Hi. I've friended you. I hope you enjoy the stories, though if not I'd be grateful if you would defriend again when you leave, as I'm trying to keep this LJ's flist as manageable as possible. Thanks.

I'd very much appreciate you friending me so I can right the wrong that is an Angel/Wesley/Spike fic of this nature not being read by yours truly. I'll defriend should my interest wane, promise.

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2009-06-15 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, no problem. Will friend you.

Hi. I'll be happy to friend you, as long as you can assure me you are over 18. There is no info on your user page so I can't tell.

I am over 18, I was born in '90

I would very much like to read your story

Hi - I stumbled on sueworld2003's link from buffyverse5 (I think) and followed it here.

I understand that this is a dark story and might not be my cuppa', if so, I will quietly un-friend you and go away.

Thank you,
Cera
