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, Rose. You're one of the few people I'm not sitting here being worried about in case they get offended/disgusted etc.

Ah the good old days on [livejournal.com profile] sickchicks.

Have friended you.

I dunno about good fic. More like meandering all round the houses so as to stick in as much nasty kink as possible fic.

Have friended you. Only one fic post so far.

Really?

:Wibble:

Maybe I should've tried harder to put you off. I'm bloody terrified here.

Anyway, have friended you but if you decide it's not for you, I quite understand. Am expecting a lot of people to drop out, to be honest.

Okay, have friended you. Wesley isn't terribly nice in this fic I'm afraid. I do love him but he makes a very good villain.

Thought I'd better warn you.

Purty please with chocolate Spikes on top. May I be friended, Ma'am?

I already friended you. Sorry. I'm eager that way. :)

Please don't be terrified. I fully understand why it was written and what a big thing it is for you to let us see it at all. I'm under no illusions here that it may not be for me. But I admire your writing so much I want to at least try to read it. Frankly I'll be astonished if I don't find something to like, and if the cost of that is that it occasionally goes past my squick point, so be it. :o)

Yep, I've been thoroughly warned by you, and by Sue, but I read the first part and loved it. I realise it will get much darker and kinkier but my usual avoidance of kink is easily overcome as long as I know what I'm getting into. Proper warnings are the key and always appreciated. :D

I'll check it out tonight, at home. Don't dare go look while I'm at work. :-)

Ooooo! Can I have some?? Pretty pretty please? *hugs*

I'd like to tray reading and , if it turns out to be too much for me I'll duck out. But I like your writing so I'm not expecting to run away screaming!

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2006-12-12 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. Will friend you.

But I like your writing so I'm not expecting to run away screaming!

That's kind of you to say. Also, I'm expecting quite a few people to duck out along the way. I know it's pretty strong stuff - more so than the Furnitureverse in places - so if it's not for you I quite understand.

You know I want to read it love, so yes please!

Is it just the vamps eating the rats? That doesn't bother me. I appreciate you being willing to flag things for me. I'm sorry to be such a bother. I bet I'm one of the ones you were worried about reading it. I don't want to worry you, but I hate the idea of missing something you wrote.
