Time for an update...

... But just as I start on that update, my Mac crashes, taking with it several months of hard work and weeks of the work on this current drawing. So okay. I've got a temporary replacement right now, so I'm making do with the materials I have available, just as my father would  have liked me to do (yay dad!). In particular, I'm updating my dragon avatar. I was 13 when I drew this pic by hand, and now I can take a more active hand in how I would like her to turn out. So yes, I do have something for you guys to look at, and I'm sorry for the temporary hold up in new art >_<()  .

Self-assigned homework: Write on

Well herein lies the dilemma. If I have a choice between a beloved girl and a lost boy, do I choose the one whose blood sings with a likeness to mine, or do I side with she who has chosen someone who is not at all me? 'Tis a question not quite worth the thought I have given it, no?

Character Basics: Citlali

 Citlali's frustrations are caused mostly by her desires to love and protect. She's a healer and nurturer at heart, but she rebels against being forced to go along with conventional notions of what a 'proper' anything should do. As the youngest child, she was always encouraged to forge ahead and test boundaries, rather like her sister. At the same time, however, she has seen her sister fall in the eyes of her family, and while Mezt's life seems infinitely exciting, Cit has found that she wants more than simply hard and fast times. She seeks freedom of speech, love, and choice, among other things. So when the two are rocked by devastating change, it's up to her to piece together what happened on that fateful night and clear both her and her sister in the eyes of the Exodar.

Guess What I Found?

An old (one year +) fanfic staring my paladin (Citlali) and an rp partner of mine, who, for the sake of preserving his dignity, we will call Kal. He'd handed Cit's heart to her after corrupting her because of the reappearance of an old flame. Actually, wait a minute *looks* this particular flame had followed him from another realm (apparently he was a secret harem builder) and he was looking to leave Cit (she'd decided to swear off her other loves for him). Long story. Anyway, I've found it, and I've decided it's salvageable. Look for it on AdultFanfiction soon.

Header Concept Art

The header area looks so empty! I'll be drawing something to go behind the title, though I'm torn between drawing a semi-erotic pic of Citlali (WoW draenei paladin and unofficial harem mistress) or maybe one of the furry avatar I'm considering. The first would be very appropriate considering my current fanfic craze. Ah well, we shall see!

HftL's Erotica Policy

Been listening to input, and those of you who know my writing style *waves at those from adultfanfiction and Facebook* know that I am nothing if not frank about my love of erotica. Most (if not all) of my writing is going to be erotic in nature, and my art will follow suit. I'm assuming that you're not all teens who have tittered at the adult warning on this blog and clicked ahead anway. In my youth (high school), I wrote Harry Potter slash and hetero fanfiction during class (specially Trigonometry), and this only prepped me for writing WoW yuri in my adult years. I have accepted the fact that my mind lives in the gutter: that is its home; and that is where it is taking up permanent residence. I'm not saying that everything I write is going to be full of Goldshire antics or Slytherin boys snogging in classrooms, but I'm not going to be a prude about anything either. There are right and wrong ways to write mature fanfiction in my opinion, and I've read and written subpar fics of my own. Thinking about adding a feature here, something along the lines of "Fanfiction Fridays". I'll post a bit of old fanfiction and point out exactly how I messed up.

Question for my Readers

Pondering a totally new segment, something regular on Tuesday. Monday, I'm still not really sure about, something along the lines of Monday Maintenance/Memories. There's a poll to the right for a better idea of what you guys would like to see in terms of my works. Author Reveals are unique posts where I either share a fact about me (questions you guys either ask in the comments or email/pm me directly/ask on Facebook/Twitter) or explain some of my writing/drawing process to you (as the readership grows, I'll start ustreaming art, but for now I'd like to cater directly to my growing pool of voyeurs :D . So vote away and keep those emails coming.
