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 there, I was recommended to read your fic and looking forward to it. I'm not really fluent in LJ so I friended you thinking I'd get access to it but apparently now you'll just be seeing all of my posts (which I'm sure you don't want!) so I'll take you off my f-list but I'd still like to be on yours. Thanks!

[identity profile] dominasmartass.livejournal.com 2009-10-04 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, and I'm 25, got your name through someone on fetlife.com so I'm definitely looking forward to whatever kinky stuff this story entails.

Hi. I'll happily friend you, though having looked at your LJ profile should say that though some of the stories archived on this LJ contain bdsm elements and kink in varying quantities, they're not bdsm stories as such and don't reflect the actual bdsm community.

That said, I've friended you and hope you find something to enjoy (though have to warn you if you don't friend this LJ back, I will probably conclude at some point that you've lost interest and defriend you again).

Hi, I'd love to read this story.

Hi. Sorry to have been so long getting back to you. I'll happily friend you, though as I say to everyone, if you don't like the stories here after all I'd be grateful if you would defriend again when leaving. Thanks.

Also, thanks for the age confirmation.

I would like to read this fic, and I will do my utmost to comment. I'm not very good at that so the comments may be irregular, but I will try.

Hi. I'd be happy to friend you if you can reassure me that you're over 18.

Hi. Will happily friend you, though would request you defriend again if you find the stories not to your taste. Thanks.

Okay then. I'll friend you. If you find the stories are not for you, though, I'd be grateful if you would defriend again on leaving. Thanks.

Hi. The first thing you would have to do is get yourself a Livejournal. A basic Livejournal is free. Once you have that, you can ask to be friended to this LJ and provided you are over 18, I would be happy to friend you back so you can read the story.

Hello!

Yes, I am here because of 'Coming of Age' and 'Age of Unreason'. I've seen such beautiful artwork on Flickr and have been curious. And now that I read that it's full of kink I want to read it all the more!

So that is why I have come to beg you to friend me and let me read this enticing piece of writing! *gets on knees* PLEEEAAAAAASE? Can I? Can I? Can I? *bears speculum and retractor as gift and gives kitty eyes*

Hi. Happy to friend you, though would be grateful if you would defriend again if you find you don't like the stories.

I saw the artwork on flickr i'd love to read to see if the stories are just as good as the art itself.

Hi. I'd need some reassurance from you that you are over 18.

Hi. Sorry to have made you wait so long for a response. I've been away.

I don't need your birth certificate or anything. However, since your date of birth isn't given on your user profile, I will assume that you're an honest person and if you say you're over 18 I'll accept your word for it. :)

Im 18 :)

In that case, read away. Hope you enjoy, though if not, I'd be grateful if you could defriend again when you leave. Thanks.
