In my spare time, I write fanfiction and lead a cult of cock worshippers on the Internet. It's not the usual kind of hobby for a 50ish "domestic engineer" but we live in a modern world and I like fucking with people's expectations.

Future Projects and Perspective

,

Reading Time: 1 MinutesSo, over the past few weeks I’ve had a few emails regarding future projects and where I intend to focus my energies. Normally, I don’t answer these emails with actual information because it just leads to problems but I stupidly answered these questions a handful of times to people who are rather new to my site because they came here to read Harry Potter & the Soulmate Bond. They’re also exclusively HET readers. Here’s the thing — I’m not going to cater to your homophobia. I’m never going to cater to your homophobia. I’m not going to rearrange my writing schedule to meet your needs. I’m also not going to feed your sense of entitlement. You aren’t entitled to a fucking thing. I don’t write on demand and I never have. I do this for FREE and I will write whatever the fuck I want. I’ve had several HET readers point out their belief that since they are my biggest “audience” that I should focus my energies on writing for them. So I’m going to give you some perspective on that subject:   Title Content Total Number of Views since 2011 Ties That Bind (Stargate: Atlantis) Slash 702,611 (all parts) Tangled Destinies (Star Trek) Slash 327,325 (all parts) Sentinels of Atlantis (Stargate: Atlantis) Slash 325,418 (all parts) Birth of the Serpent King (Harry Potter) Slash 204,731 That Old Black Magic (Harry Potter) Slash 203,670 Harry Potter & the Soulmate Bond (Harry Potter) HET 160,710 (all parts) The…

Your Entitlement Makes Me Furious!

Reading Time: 2 MinutesI received these two pieces of feedback: In response to a part of Harry Potter and the Soulmate Bond: Seems I didn’t review this one. My apologies. Fourth(?) reading now. Please make sure to keep updating this approx. monthly if you can…? P.S.: What’s the current status of ‘Unspeakable Plot’? How close are you to finishing it? Is the ending plotted out? Written? Waiting to be beta’ed? Then this on the announcement about The Unspeakable Plot: Can you please send me a PDF of ‘Unspeakable Plot’ so far? I’d love to have what she’d previously posted on my Kindle while I wait for her to finish it. Email is **********. T.Y.V.M! * * * * This isn’t the first time you’ve left me such feedback. In fact, you seem to make it a habit. I emailed you in private and answered the REPEATED questions about Unspeakable Plot  but never got a response — you’ve so far ignored THREE emails I sent. I’m left to think you never even fucking bothered to read them. I’ve responded to your questions in the past on the site — I don’t think you’ve read them either. Your first comment today leaves me with the feeling that you’ve never in fact bothered to read anything I’ve had to say outside of what is posted on this site so that’s why I’m responding this way. I’ve told you MORE THAN ONCE that Unspeakable Plot wouldn’t be posted on this site until after beta.…

Ties That Bind: Finding Home

Reading Time: 9 MinutesTitle: Finding Home Author: Keira Marcos Series: Ties That Bind Series Order: Interlude Pairing: Ethan Marsh/Chase Harris Beta: Ladyholder Genre: Romance, BDSM Word Count: 2311 Author’s Notes: SEE THE SERIES PAGE FOR FULL AUTHOR NOTES. I RECOMMEND YOU READ THEM! Summary: Ethan figures out where his home is. * * * * Ethan prided himself on being of above average intelligence. He worked hard, played harder, and had built himself a career in the Navy he could be proud of. His knew if his fathers had been alive they would be proud of him as well. Despite the fact that they’d met so late in life, he felt like he’d had a great relationship with both of his brothers and even a semi-close one with David Sheppard who wasn’t his brother by blood, but by choice. They’d made a family of it and that had healed the wounds left behind the deaths of his fathers. All that said, he felt like an idiot for returning to Earth for a mission. He slouched down on the bench seat and ignored the chaos going on around him. The bus was full of men coming home from various points around the world. It was just one leg of his own journey—a journey that would end with him stepping through a stargate returning to Atlantis. He missed the city and his brothers but he missed someone else more. It had been six months since he’d set eyes on Chase Harris and he…

Unspeakable Plot

Reading Time: 1 MinutesMany of you apparently aren’t aware of what Rough Trade is… despite the fact that I have a whole page on that site dedicated to explaining it. Rough Trade is a writing challenge site of which we have 3 challenges a year (currently). During a challenge, participants post their daily work to their project in a very rough, unedited form. That’s what I did in November for Unspeakable Plot. Since we had time until the next challenge (April), I continued to post after the challenge was finished. HOWEVER, we’re gearing up for the next challenge and had to clean off the site. My work, just like everyone else’s on the site is gone from the site now. My work will remain off line until I’ve finished the rough draft and started the beta process. That’s how I work and that’s how it’s going to be. No amount of complaining is going to change that. Thanks, Keira
