Look at what you've done:

RIP to Rika it was nice knowing you đŸ«ĄđŸ˜­
Rina likes loves Dani very much because he's her adorable baby brother and nobody is allowed to bully him except her.
So.
Yeah, don't make Dan cry unless you want to be hunted down for sport 👍

We're switching to Underline the Gold for the next two months and I'm super excited about it! It's time to see how Flitmouse and Anton are holding up, and how the early stages of their relationship is continuing.
The Sunday-to-Sunday break continues. During this time I catch up on writing, editing, comments, and anything else that needs doing.
~
Stories with updates as yet undetermined: Palmarosa (Apologies to my Palmarosa peeps! I have wanted to work on this story so badly, but the new Stardew Valley update has eaten my entire life lol)
Most chapters go up between 6-7pm GMT+8 (or the time that you’re already used to me putting chapters up, lol). For those who are anxious to know when chapters are updating, hopefully this helps! If there’s ever an emergency, or a scheduling issue (like a surprise family dinner) I generally put up stories a day early and not late.

I’ve gotten a few new followers in the past couple days so I thought I’d make a quick housekeeping post!
Hi!! I post very rambling and sometimes bad things about The Children of HĂșrin and also about the horrors of Angband, the status and place of former prisoners in first age Beleriand and similar topics. Mostly focusing on Maedhros and HĂșrin but others too! I really enjoy world building and meta.
I love asks and requests though I am wildly inconsistent with timing and order of them!
I am also on discord as Aerin for mayor*! Please feel free to friend me and talk about Tolkien stuff! Or here!

A Quick Heads-Up (Blog Housekeeping)
Hi y'all! It occurred to me recently just how messy my blog has been, regarding fanfic and where you can find it. In fact, my AO3 has also been nearly empty for a very long time! So I've started to fix it.
In the coming days, weeks, and maybe months, I will be working to clean all of this up. If you'd like to follow along, follow the below accounts and/or tags:
MY AO3 (OnlyLonelyStars) MY FFN (OnlyLonelyStars) MY FANFICTION TAG (#OLST fanfic) MY WRITING TAG (#OLST writing) MY LARGEST AU TAG (#ninjago fairy tale au) AND ITS SIDEBLOG: @ninjago-fairy-tale-au CO-OWNER: @dragon-gem MY SIDEBLOG FOR ALL THE CREATIVE STUFF: @only-lonely-works-of-art
Thank you! Apologies for what may seem like spam to come! Hopefully this will all make more sense once it's done.

Starslinger Tales by Kras Nebula
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Starslinger Tales are a collection of short stories and novellas taking place in a weird west post-apocalyptic setting, hundreds of years after a magical cataclysm destroyed the people who came before. These stories center around the folks who've been surviving since- farmers, mediums, doppelgangers, ghosts. Y'know, regular folk and the dinosaurs they ride, living in the shadows of the ruins the 'Fore Folks left behind.
Each story is written to be self contained, so feel free to start wherever sounds interesting!

Okay, I am now very invested in this manhwa:
Tired, overworked Huina thinks dungeons and Hunters have nothing to do with her until she's suddenly gifted with a Hunter's abilities. Now she has to navigate her game-like reality with the skills and stats of... a Homemaker?! With this class, Huina becomes the ultimate cook, custodian, and caretaker, which lands her a seemingly harmless job in a Hunter guild. But will this organization help Huina bring the Hunters a revolution of rest or force her into dangers she'd never dreamed of?
It's really, really great! Huina is absolutely adorable (tho I don't know why she's complaining...I would love to get immediate knowledge on how to clean and cook effortlessly, as well as easily upgradeable housework skills and perks...Plus a free, upgradeable, pocket-dimension home where I can have the door pop up anywhere I want? All for the price of just cleaning the basic starter level of the home?? Sign me tf up!)
She has the cutest little mascot Home Administrator:

And a Himbo of a ML (absolute socially awkward, disaster of a man outside of punching monsters and bad guys):

Pov you’re interviewing the dumbest employer/employer/employee trio imaginable
And also introducing Finn!
Tumblr media
He saw a shady newspaper ad for a live-in housekeeper service at a mansion in the woods and decided that it was either a good pay or a serial killer ploy and went for it anyway. He cleans the pool and does a great job at genuinely not noticing things- which says a lot because Florian and Lukas suck at keeping anything secret—

many things have changed over the years, but florian bennett has always had a favorite song.
i wrote a little something for the oc project i've been working on with ghast and daisy. several short scenes of florian and lukas throughout their many years of knowing each other, from present to past.
if you wanna know more about these characters, check out ghast's tag for them on their blog! the story is called 'tales of a housekeeper.'

January 2024 Writing Round-Up

Birthday Spotlight - Nathaniel (Nate) Prince 
Underline the Black 76

FANFICTION
A Stain that Won't Dissolve 29 
A Stain that Won't Dissolve 30 
Palmarosa 16 
Palmarosa 17 
*
An extremely quiet month, with only 31,000 words written. That's not bad (my minimum is 25k) but I'm sure y'all know I like to aim higher than that most months!
A reminder that enrolment into the Merch Tier to get the May/June rewards is still valid until mid February!
*
On the writing side, I wrote across multiple stories: Palmarosa, Constellations, The Nascent Diplomat, A Stain that Won't Dissolve, Underline the Black, and Underline the Blue.
*
We adopted a gorgeous puppy called Tobermory but it's been very overwhelming on a PTSD and autism front (we actually decided to rehome at one point, and then decided to stick it out, but it's been rough). And also just on a 'young puppy life' front lol.
In the months ahead I'll be taking a break in the form of not posting one Underline the Black chapter per month to give me one Sunday-to-Sunday stretch of posting no chapters. I will still be active and around! These aren't holidays from writing or interacting with you all, just from the schedule itself. :D 
I also really want to get stuck into editing Game Theory, it feels like a distant dream right now which is more than a little frustrating, just because of time and energy, but please know it's still high up on my list! I'm also going to start designing/planning the next round of merch soon, so stay tuned for that. :D
*
Tradewinds has LAUNCHED!!! This is a Patreon/Ream exclusive, meaning that - at this stage - it can only be read if you join that tier and download it to read. You're welcome to stay in the tier, drop back down to your regular tier, or even just sign up for one month and leave again. Obviously the latter isn't my preference! But I want folks to enjoy themselves and am sensitive to the fact that not everyone can afford regular subscription, or has to be careful how they subscribe <3 
Tradewinds is a completed Fae Tales Verse story with a completely new cast of characters that focuses on merchant fae in the southern hemisphere, and Seelie vs. Unseelie merchant traders.
*
Remember you can reach out to me privately at any time, at my email [email protected] - if you can't find something, or just want to find out something, let me know. I'll do my best to help :)
I'll see you all in February 2024! We've smashed into a brutal heatwave, with temperatures of 42C, 43C and then 41C coming over the next few days (that's 107F, 109F and 105F for the folks in the USA!) Pray for me, because I am going to have to walk everywhere with a spatula so that I might lever myself off the bitumen (road/asphalt).
