BLADE RUNNER (1982) dir. Ridley Scott
I consider myself a microinfluencer in the way I can get ten to fifteen people to consume a piece of media if I’m annoying enough about it
I love your demon stories!!! More?
Sooo… there will be more, many more… BUT it’s going to be a years-long process… I have many Plans of what I intend to do with my future writing, but real life is a bitch.
In my brain there are written already seven installments of Rakul’s series; and part 1, “Kitsil”, the story of his parents, is 95% complete (and it is what I consider my best work to date). Technically “Rakul” on AO3 is part 4 of the series. I actually intend to put the first one and Rakul for sale as e-books onto smashwords.com, as that site allows “taboo” erotica… specifically non-con. I have discovered that mainstream ebook sites like Amazon do not allow noncon (although some authors put it there anyway and risk being banned), and even smashwords reserves the right to remove possibly too-offensive stories. I also need to paint the cover for Kitsil and format it as an ebook.
Rakul is about 90% written and I still need to finish that and Simshian as well. Simshian will be renamed and 3 to 4 more chapters added and I intend to put it onto Amazon Kindle Unlimited (KU) as a monster erotica novella (at which time it will be removed from AO3); and I also need to make the cover art for it still. After that, there will be a three novel trilogy about Rakul’s father that will go onto KU, and the 3 sequels following that are already in my mind (Simshian being essentially an excerpt from the last one in that sequence). It’s going to be a long-form smutty demon soap opera.
I also have several other loosely or unrelated monster romance stories planned that are set in the same world, many of which involve the demons, but those are going to be worked on much farther in the future. AND in the meantime, I intend to continue work on Rakul’s series for AO3. However, my real life is quite busy and high stress right now with family responsibilities, so all of these things I want to do are going to be a months-to-years long process. However, rest assured I am quite devoted to these demons, and I don’t see that changing. I’m quite determined to get these stories out, however long it takes, because I love these characters quite a lot now.
Thank you so much for the ask! Of course I’m super happy to talk about my characters and my upcoming novels and really gratified and flattered to know other people love them too !!!
You know, I don’t think I’ve seen any fandom hate the target of their fanning like the Thrawn fandom. And I don’t mean comments like “you magnificent bastard, you!” (because if there’s anyone deserving of the moniker, it’s Thrawn, lol) I mean things like “he’s an arrogant piece of crap and deserves to be mocked” or “I hope Filoni humiliates him” or “he’s a moron and I hate him.”
I think part of what’s happening is that he’s a morally complex character in a time where moral nuance is deeply unpopular. People see the world in terms of heroes and villains. Good and evil. Luke Skywalker and Emperor Palpatine. There’s no space for someone who isn’t exactly good but isn’t entirely evil, either (which is not only more reflective of how human beings actually work, but was the entire POINT of Thrawn in the first place, lol). He works for the empire? He’s evil. 100%. His reasons for doing what he does don’t matter, he’s scum.
That and people really just don’t “get” him. It makes sense—within Jungian typology he’s the archetypal INTJ, leading with subjective, seeminingly mystical and otherworldly visions/ideals only he understands; he uses impersonal and unfeeling logic as his main tool; he refuses or is unable to understand/acquiesce to societal pressure; and his emotions, motives, and values are very private. I suppose it’s no surprise, then, that fans gravitate toward conventional, familiar, “safe,” ISTJ Everyman characters like Eli and Samakro. Even if they share Thrawn’s values, even if they ALSO work for authoritarian regimes, the ever-important S groundedness is going to make their motives make more “sense” to most readers (hence their placement as audience surrogates).
And lastly there’s also the assertion that he’s “just a male power fantasy” for “obnoxious nerds,” as though there aren’t women (like myself) who find him inspiring, too.

What's the story behind ur username
I was 42 when I picked it, it’s a play on the very popular teen girl clothing store Forever 21, so it implies that I’m older yet immature; but also, if you’re familiar with The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Thank you for the ask.
