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. As you're over 18, I'm happy to friend you so you can read the story. All you have to do then is friend this LJ back and you'll be able to read it.

However, if you want to read it from the very beginning, you'll have to use the calendar function to go back to 2006, which is when the first story of the two, Coming of Age, starts.

I hope you enjoy. However, if not, I'd be grateful if you could defriend the LJ again when you leave.

Hi. I'll happily friend you if you're over 18. As there's no information on your user profile, I can't verify that, so can you confirm your age?

Took me a bit to find the beginning of this story. Now that I have read the summary, I am even more excited about being here. I am seriously warped so nothing I have read so far will turn me off. In fact if somehow you have worked in that Buffy(if she is in the story) gets killed, I will love you forever. The more horrible death the better for her. Guess you can see she isn't one of my favorites. Even if she isn't killed I will still enjoy the story. Can't promise I will comment on each and every chapter because I get carried away by the story so that I have to rush ahead to the next chapter. I will try to make comments as often as possible.

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2008-06-30 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I like Buffy a lot personally, and I don't kill characters unless their death adds weight to the story.

Even so, I hope you enjoy it.

Hello, I’ve been reading your fiction lately – and I’m so impressed and it’s all so brilliant. I particularly like Vampire Winter and Family Reunion.

Would you please friend me?

Re: Would you please friend me?

Okay, I've friended you. Hope you enjoy the story, though it's considerably kinkier than either of the ones you mention.

If by any chance you decide it's not for you, I'd be grateful if you'd defriend this LJ when you leave. Thanks.

Oh, me. Late to the game, as always. But I just finished the last comic of Spike: AtF, and it made me all nostalgic for all things Spike and this fic has been highly recommended all through the el-jay.

I would really love to be friended so that I may be able read the goodness.

Hello! I have heard some interesting things about this fic by [livejournal.com profile] sueworld2003 and I thought I would ask to be friended so I could check it out for myself.

Hi. I've seen you posting on Sue's LJ and have friended you back. I hope you enjoy.

[identity profile] toobusy2write.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. So I've wanted to ask to be friended for a while, but kept putting it off because slave fics are really hit or miss for me. I have a kink for them, but a lot of times they're too much for me. I'm not sure going in if I'll be able to read the whole thing, but I'd like to give it a try. I'll let you know if I can't handle it. :)

[identity profile] glassdarklyuk.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, will friend you back. If it helps, I think of it as more an anti-slave fic than anything.

[identity profile] firefly116.livejournal.com 2009-02-15 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Hi! I'd love to read your fic - I've heard fabulous things about it!

I'm a bit wary of friending 'ghost' LJs to be honest with you. Would you at least tell me where you heard about me.
