(tumblr(.)com so the ask may come through)
I apologize for taking a hot second to reply to this but AKDHFJAKFJFK im touched people think about my fic still 🥺
im also gonna take this moment to give an update on said fanfic below the cut
So! The fanfic version of Entrails of the Animals has been taken down, which was a very hard decision to make bc goddamn were those 60k words a labor of love several years in the making.
But I'm an aspiring author and Kirsen as a character has always been very near and dear to my heart- I decided I wanted the first story I get published to be hers. So, I took everything that I could salvage of her backstory and personality and I've adapted it into the worldbuilding for the universe all of my original stories take place in.
Then, most amazingly of all, last year I sat down and I wrote her story. All 99k words of it. The first draft of OGverse "Entrails of the Animals" has been finished. In fact, I'm currently making some revisions on draft number 4 of EOTA!
I took down everything I could of the fanfic version of EOTA/Kirsen, so that there would hopefully be no confusion when I do eventually get Kirsen's story published. Right now I'm working with the idea of EOTA still being the title- but we'll see. It was super tough to do- Skyrim!Kirsen will always have her own little niche in my heart. I was incredibly sad that the people who were so kind as to follow my story and comment on every chapter, would not get to see the resolution to the story I was trying to tell.
But at the end of the day this, Kirsen's story, is something that I want to tell more than anything in the world and I want to do so in a way that is completely original. And ya know, hopefully just as magical and interesting as the old version lmao.
My intention is to advertise the book across my blogs once it is published, so maybe someday soon those of y'all that have stuck around will get to see the best version of Kirsen I've created yet <3
