*The casket opens again*
*Oddly, it smells of toffee and sugar straws.*
*Out crawls a being of unimaginable creativity, and horribly non-existent humility: Sleepy, The Panda.*
So uh, hey! Long time no see. It's been a while since I've returned to this darn corner of the website, and I'm glad to say that I've 'returned' after settling into a more stable lifestyle. It wasn't a financial crisis, nor a mental one that really drove me off this platform, but instead the overall interest in my stories.
The majority of these chapters were made with the mind of a sleepy, abhorrently horny, and occasionally dark-minded panda and after reading reviews ranging from pure positivity to harshly offended takes, I understand a majority of them after reading my own work after what has been years of absence.
I'm sorry to the folks who didn't like it - - and I probably should have made a disclaimer at the start of this lemon fic that it's obviously quite a...sinful world, so to speak, even though there are glints of kindness sprinkled throughout.
And to think: if I posted this story in this current generation of readers? Good lord the cancel culture would rip me a new one. % years doesn't sound too far away but back then you could let a 5 year old get cornered by a pack of pokemon dogs and all you'd get is a bad review..
...mhm. Yep. I think one of my 'to-do' lists is changing the fates of a few individuals...
I don't know whether to continue this fic, or scrap it, but I do understand that I have to IMPROVE it.
Maybe this might be in the case of re-doing a few chapters, or simply cutting out scathing parts of it! After going through them, there's a lot of smut in there...but I guess that's what you'd expect from a long-drawn lemon fic.
I might also change the genders of a few pokemon, or maybe even change the pokemon themselves. Whatever the case, do understand that the story from here on out will be slightly different, and better polished than the abomination that it came to be.
In terms of proofreaders and the like, I will leave DMs open if you do want to help me out and search for errors - - but I will be expecting actual folks who are well versed like me to catch out any slip ups I make. Proofreaders will get early access to the story, but more so a 'raw' version of it all.
And to you: the reader. If you're new here: Hi! You caught me at a fortunate time.
And to you: the ones who waited. I'm sorry for my absence. I guess I really am sleepy, huh?
Finally, for the folks that have been long-time supporters (which is already rare enough) who have waited for my updates throughout the longest hiatuses: Thank you for holding out on me.
Any inquiries and questions about my work can also be sent via DM, and if you'd like to ask for improvements, please do that too!
This sweet panda will be getting back on her wheels to make better fics for you folks, and whatever help she can get is much appreciated.
Rai will continue his journey again soon, but not just yet. This lazy-ass panda needs to learn how to walk again after sleeping in her coffin for nearly 2 years after her supposed return!
Updates more to be had. This time I promise I'll be back. c:
