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 [livejournal.com profile] sueworld2003, LJ layout by [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Hi, you're right *grins*. I am here because I want to read Coming of Age - it was rec'd by [livejournal.com profile] twilightofmagic very strongly indeed! Please friend me!

In case it helps, I do tend to comment fairly regularly on fic I read - mainly to thank people for sharing rather than any literary stuff - words aren't my strong point but I love other people's!

Thanks

Lily

I was just thinking about this story and wondering if you had published it - - - and you finally did. Not sure how long it will take me to read it (RL is just impossible right now) but I would like to have access to it if that's possible.

Thanks!

Hi, Kumi. Very nice to see you.

I'm sorry to hear RL is impossible but I had assumed that was why you hadn't been around. Don't think you've posted since some time last summer.

Anyway, if you ever do have time to look at the story, I've friended you.

I adore your fics and your dark, dry sense of humor as well as your skill with dialogue and writing-- please, may I read Coming of Age? I've been looking forward to it for ages.

Your take on the Buffyverse, especially Wes, Giles, Spike and Angel/us is one of my favorites.

Hi there. I've friended you back now so you can read the fic if you want. I feel I should just mention though that it's extremely short on humour and is pretty dark right from the start.

I set out to write a proper slave fic. In the end, it didn't turn out quite as I'd imagined it would but that doesn't stop it being pretty grim at times.

So here ,I go with nervous anticipation, may I please be friended?
