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.

Done. Only one fic post so far and it pretty much starts as it means to go on.

May I be friended too? I'd love to read this fic :)

Well I hope you're not disappointed and/or shocked. Am very nervous about posting this because it's just so horrid.

Anyway, have friended you - only one fic post so far.

:Waves:

Have friended you. Heh! I think you're one of the very few people in this list I'm not worried about at all. Hope you enjoy it - only one fic post up so far.

Friended you, Kitty - though as I told you, this is crammed full of kink and other nastiness and I do remember you saying you're not so keen on the kink sorry - have this compulsive need to keep warning people.

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2006-12-12 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep - added you. Only one fic post so far.

Okay -done.

Hope you won't need to use the cushion too much. Only one fic post so far.

Okay - have done so. Only one fic post so far and it does rather start as it means to go on.

I've met slave fics that have been too much for me

Me too - and don't worry, I understand completely if you decide it's not your sort of thing.

Have friended you.

Now I think of it, there is another chapter where some not very nice things happen to animals but I promise I'll flag it up so you can skip it if you want.

Um -you're not bothered about rats, I hope?

Have friended you.

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2006-12-12 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
If it turns out to be not my thing, I'll just stop reading. Hope that's ok?

Yes, that's fine. I'm actually expecting quite a few people to stop reading, hence all the dire warnings.

Have friended you.

Okay, then, friended you. Have to warn you, though, this is a much darker story than the Furnitureverse.

I'm assuming the crash position, feeling a bit scared

You and me both. I'm bloody terrified - imagining being exiled to some sort of fandom Coventry for writing this.

Anyway, have friended you and there's only one post up so far.

Hi, Linda. Have friended you. There's only one fic post so far (3000 words). I really hope you aren't building this up too much for yourself. It's only a big old messy indulgence fic, as per my email.

Hi, Pam. Of course. Have friended you.

Have to warn you, though, the version of Wesley in this story is very extreme indeed. He makes a bloody scary villain.

Hello. Unfortunately, without an LJ name, I can't friend you back. Did you forget to log in or do you not have an LJ? If the former, please leave another comment and I'll be happy to friend you as long as I'm satisfied you're old enough. If you don't have an LJ, I'm afraid you won't be able to read the fic posts as I feel I have to lock them.

Okay - have friended you. Only one fic post so far and it starts pretty much as it means to go on, just so you know.

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2006-12-12 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, have friended you - and if you decide it's not for you I quite understand. I'm expecting quite a few people to drop out, to be honest.

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2006-12-12 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, the slave part is quite important so I will quite understand if you decide it's not for you. Have friended you anyway. Only one fic post so far.
