From me to you
If you're reading this, I apologize for the long amount of time to completion of this work. Knowing where I want to go is not the same as getting there and part of me keeps re-editing previous chapters to make the story better every couple of weeks. From what I've learned, this is a bad habit that I must break.
What compelled me to write this fiction? Curiosity. While writing fictions, I found myself in the place I dread; writers block. So I started to browse the internet for inspiration of any sort be it business, relaxation, pleasure, or whatever I might need. Eventually and unexpectedly, I ran across the game Lilith's Throne by Innoxia, a text-based erotic RPG with demons, magic, and lots of sex. At first, I discredited it because of my mixed fondness of text based adventures but thankfully, I always try something at least once.
After going through the rather brief story and playing the game more, however, I started to slowly become more and more attached to the game and how free it made me feel. Unlike most games that path you forcefully through the story, this game lets you do - literally and mentally - what you want to do. Though it has limited options at the moment, the potential it has for this level of freedom and customization was enough to inspired me to write this fiction.
Much of the content of this fiction I have little explanation for. How would anyone respond when confronted with the possibility to do anything they wanted? To have the power to choose good or evil and make it matter? I try to answer these questions with Alex Ward, the poor bastard who finds himself dragged into another dimension against his will.
Why first person? My counter question is could I write such horrible scenarios and strange behavior from the inside better than the outside? Maybe. I also wanted to get deep into the mind of a single character, one point of view and their interactions with the world around them. Some say its dangerous to put yourself into a story but I do the opposite, putting a part of me into the character and seeing what will happen.
I'd like to thank Innoxia and the community of Lilith's Throne for their work. It always inspires me when people throw caution to the wind and just work together towards something amazing and I can say personally that this project has inspired me and even changed my life slightly. Inspiration can come from the oddest of places.
And of course, thank you audience for reading this fiction. Having even 5 people read the fiction in it's entirety is enough for me to want to finish what I started.
