11 Years · 3:07am May 23rd, 2023
Plus one day. Woops. My 11th anniversary kinda snuck on me. To be fair, I haven't exactly done anniversary blogs in a while, but given that I'm more or less fully back to writing regularly, I figured I should commemorate my 11th years on this website.
There's also 700 of you following me now! That's awesome! Although, given a good portion of those are from before my first hiatus, the real number of active followers I have is probably closer to 150-200. Lotta new people form morosexual. though. Howdy folks. Welcome in, have a look around, stay out of the basement. Please don't judge my old fics too hard if you stumble across them, it was 11 years ago and I was 14 years old.
Jesus.
11 years, huh? My how time flies.
Well, not really. Looking back, it does actually feel like quite a long time. Truth be told, I kind of have a hard time remembering what my life was like before I started here. Not in the sense of not having a memory from the time before, but like... thinking back to a time before, it still feels like this would have, or maybe should have been a part of my life.
We are rapidly coming up on me being on this site for half my life. Only 3 more years, by my count. Assuming I don't disappear. WHich, fingers crossed, no plans. There are tonnes of fics I want to write. Hell, even right now, I have 8 gdoc tabs open, and one of those is a planning document that has the plans for a dozen different fics. Obviously, probably not all of them will be written. Things will change, some will get scrapped if I can't develop them enough, others will be merged together, but suffice to say I have plans to stick around for quite a while yet. I also think I'm more or less fully shaken off the rust. Typing feels really smooth again, and I'm going pretty fast again. Granted, the real hold up has never been my WPM, but rather how fast I can think of the words to write. And while that part still takes time, I don't think it will ever be back to the speed of yesteryear. Not because I've lost that skill, but rather because of the skill I've gained. I'm much more careful constructing sentences and paragraphs and... and just everything now. Everything takes more time, more consideration, before I can put it down onto the page. This is probably a net positive, but it does mean everything takes a bit more time.
I'm also much more careful about planning and drafting fics now than I ever was before. Like... as in I actually do it at all. Yeah, no wonder all my old long-form fics lost the plot half way through them. They weren't planned at all. Flying by the seat of my pants worked find when I was a teenager and couldn't see how bad my writing was, but these days I've got a higher standard for myself. I hope that comes across in my writing.
Anyway, I don't have much of a point to this plog besides stopping in, celebrating my anniversary, oh and thanking you all for the wonderful success of morosexual. Means a lot to me. I've got another comedy one-shot thing brewing, plus some other short-form fics that will probably pop out in a bit, but right now I have several larger projects that are eating up a lot of my attention at the moment. Hoping to be able to make more announcements about them soon.
(Oh also it kinda flopped when it came out but if y'all are into erotic Twidash you should go check out Bound to be Mine. It has Twidash, romance, and bondage).
Until next time,
Kodeake out
Oof, yep, that's... Yep that one's starting to set in for me as well.
Welcome back! I'm looking forward to your future projects. Morosexual was great and now you've piqued my curiosity with wanting to check out some of your earliest works.

Haha, I've debated taking some of them down a few times but always decided against it. Partially because a lot of people really enjoyed them, and partially because I feel like it's an important message to send. I don't think I'm an amazing writer by any stretch, but I do think I'm pretty okay these days, and I'd like new aspiring writers to know that we all start somewhere. Even if a lot of it was teenage-cringe lol.
hot dang :D
