I don't think that sex scenes in romance are "necessary"; for many stories, depending on tone, mood, intention, etc, they would be extremely superfluous. I don't believe they should be described in lengthy, erotic detail in many stories, either, even though that is what some consider most "gratifying" about them.

My belief is only that, as human beings, sex and romance are inextricably linked.

Hey there,

I haven't posted anything for a million years, but that may change soon. Dunno. We'll see.

This blog post is entirely to gauge feedback on two types of stories that have not yet existed on this page. My stuff up until now has been a mixture of romance and sex, but I am curious about how you guys would feel about stories that are:

1) all sex, pure smut, little/no buildup

2) romance but contain no sex

Yipyapper's birthday is only a couple days before mine?

Food for thought...

I don't expect many people are still checking in/asking "Where the heck has Idylia been?" but I figure it's good to say something every once in a while.

I'm still here, checking the site daily pretty much.
I'm still editing stuff for people. That's the majority of my interaction with the site as of late.
I have ideas for writing and now I believe I have the motivation for it as well.

TL;DR and also a convenient organizational outline
1. College
2. Taking care of myself
3. Being lazy
4. Engaging socially with other human beings
If these reasons aren't sufficient (they're certainly not for me) add "is difficult" to the end of those and you might feel a little bit better about them, regardless of whether they are or not (see: my methods of coping).

In order.

I truly love each and every one of you.

I dislike making blog posts without an ascribed purpose, but maybe communication is purpose enough.

So normally I wouldn't do this for a story that I edited because conflict of interest and I don't want people coming to me to read their stories just for the purpose of me promoting them if they're good, but

Hey there folks,

The reason the update has been taking so long is because I've rewritten chapter two about three times and it's finally in a place that I'm proud of. While I was in the midst of revising that, I wrote the next arc basically in it's entirety.

So, before the end of tonight, expect to see two new chapters from me.

First we're exploring Rainbow's arc and what happens with Soarin in the VIP section of the bar.

One of the greatest feelings in the world is to wake up to 300+ notifications and a story in the featured box. My writing is far from perfect and I still have very much to learn and improve on, and to have people enjoy something as I'm learning the ropes makes the whole process more than just easy-- it makes it fun and rewarding and it gives me something to look forward to with every word that I write.

Thank you to my followers from before for being so patient with me.

Or, rather today.

9800 words, pretty long process for just the first chapter.
Thanks for being patient.
