Idk if anyone reads these but just in case: 
          	
          	Lately I'm trying to boost my visibility in the algorithm in hope it'll lead to more reads, votes and engagement. Part of this means I'm re-uploading chapters in pieces to lower overall word count (but for now I'm keeping the original versions up as well, the edited books are called 'Wattpad Edition's). I'm also taking Maroon in Midnight Blue and re-uploading chapters weekly. 
          	
          	Now, for anyone that had been reading Maroon or was putting it off til it was done to read the whole thing, you may notice there's fewer chapters than there were before. I un-published a large chunk of them to re-upload weekly and hopefully increase future reads. The full story is still available on my official website and Ao3. For the coming weeks, Wattpad (and Tapas) will update with chapters 8-23, one full chapter at a time. So if you want to read the story, you can start now with either version and follow along weekly. My plan is that, by the time the last scheduled chapter is out, I will have written so far ahead that I can either keep the weekly schedule going past 23 or switch to a semi-weekly one (every two weeks). Either way, when this is all over, you'll be getting more Minstrel more often. Granted, if anyone feels really strong about this I'm open to changing this upload strategy. Otherwise...Minstrel will return this summer, and if you want to catch up to the whole story ahead of time, head over to AO3, Afrovana, or my official website.

Hello everyone! 
          
          I'm working real hard on a new novel. And for that reason, A Maroon in Midnight Blue will return by January 13 of 2021. Catch up now if you haven't already: Now that Minstrel's finally out of lock-up, we're about to move on to the better part of the story!

Hey everyone! Just posted the new installment of Obsidian Shards. 
          
          Originally, Mitochondrial Assimilation was a 750 word story for a Lovecraftian horror contest that I lost (lol). Though I love the original version, I always knew that this story had to be longer than that, and I promised that I'd re-release the story in a longer format one day. Today is that day! I hope you all enjoy what has become one of my favorite short horror stories.
          
          That's all for now! See you in a few days when I post Minstrel's new chapter!

          Happy Halloween everybody!

Small update to anyone that's been waiting on Minstrel or Maledicion, I am in gradschool aiming for that PhD! Yay! Unfortunately that means my writing schedule is completely haywire. I'll try and update both in december.
