Hi! Ok, first of all, I love, LOVE your works, especially Yoga and Werewolves and the Witch in the Wood. I was so lost in the beauty of it all that I made a fatal error: I forgot to download another favourite of mine, "Not a long and lonely road". I know about the book you are publishing, and I already preordered it. But I was wondering it there was a way to have a copy of the original fic too

Aaaah!! Hi!! Thank you so much for this message, I am utterly flattered and thrilled to hear you’ve not only enjoyed my things, but also pre-ordered my official thing. 😭 Seriously, this made my day. The unfortunate bit is that because I signed a contract with the publishing company, I basically gave them all rights to the story (and iterations of it). I’m so, so sorry, but I won’t be able to send it to you. I really appreciate you reaching out though, and, again, am beyond happy to know you’ve liked my works enough to want to own them. ♥

greatgatsby1-blog1 asked:

Hey! I'm an AO3 reader, and I loved your story "It's All About the Upstroke" (Reylo ska AU). It's gone! Is there any way I can get a copy? Thanks!

Hi hi! Thanks so much!

So I did indeed take this story down. In all the world chaos and uncertainty, I decided to diversify my income. I bucked up and submitted several things to a publishing company, and they got accepted! This story has been de-fic-ified and given another 4k words of smut, and will be published in the middle of next year. I'll be posting updates on Twitter, @ alexalanwrites. :)

Buuut, because of the contract I signed, I unfortunately can't share this story outside the publisher. Sorry!

The Witch in the Wood

by @inmyownidiom & @thisgarbagepicker

As a knight errant of the kingdom of Alderaan, Kylo Ren has traveled the country, completing quest after perilous quest in search of redemption for the dark deeds of his past. When an evil witch captures the princess of a neighboring kingdom, Kylo reluctantly accepts the burden of rescue with the assumption that it will be a simple task.It is not. For the creature that lives in the woods is not a monster at all. Since her mentor died, Rey has lived in the witch’s tree and uses magic to maintain the balance of the forest. Her life is practical, repetitive, and simple—at least, until a wrathful knight thunders through her door and levels a sword at her throat. Yet something within the knight calls to her, a buzz beneath his skin that she recognizes. Without a doubt, he is not who he appears to be.

During the standoff on the bridge at Starkiller Base, Kylo Ren yields to the light within him and accepts Han’s plea to leave with him, no questions asked. With the map to Luke Skywalker secured, the Resistance hastily relocates to an island planet in the Outer Rim, spurred by unsettling intel about recent First Order developments in tracking technology.

Meanwhile, Rey—untrained and stronger than she knows—grapples with the awakening of her power in the Force and struggles to determine where her path must lead. As uncertainty and strange dreams compel her to seek Kylo’s help, one thing becomes clear to them both: Whatever passed between them in the interrogation room was only a beginning, and the will of the Force is rarely easily understood …

Rated: M Subscribe on AO3 for update alerts ♥ THANK YOU to @jesssssah and @tehanufromearthsea for brainstorming and betaing from the start!

CHAPTER TWELVE: Reasons to Stay

With the urgency of the move behind her, Rey is settling in to her new—temporary—routines on Pamarthe, and so is Finn. When Kylo finds her practicing with the Skywalker lightsaber, he can’t help interrupting and demanding some answers. It turns out they may have some things to offer each other after all.

alexalanwrites

Yeessss. Read this. It's great.

And now, for something completely different

"Why haven’t you updated ‘Wanted’?” some of you may ask. “Have you been watching too many musical comedy TV shows? Have you been focusing on side AU things that make you go ‘SDJFKLJDJ’? Has your time been sucked up by making digital, uncontextualized fan art? Did you eat way too much cheese and then take a really long nap more times than you’d like to admit?”

Yes, is the answer to all of those questions, but most significantly it’s because I’ve been working on two silly things. The first silly thing is the exchange fic I wrote for @bunilicious for the @thereylowritingden ‘s winter fic exchange. (The second will come in a few weeks, once things on AO3 calm down a bit from the holidays)

HERE YOU GO, FILTHY FRIENDS:

The Art of Getting Off

‘Sign up for ski lessons!’ her friends had said. ‘It’ll be fun!’ her friends had said. It's taken one month for Rey to figure out that she hates skiing, and that her friends were complete liars. It's also taken one month for Rey to develop a colossal crush on her skiing instructor. When combined, a crush, a blizzard, and a gallon of innuendo can make a cold cabin awfully warm.

Just yer average forest floor tryst

OKAY SO FUN NEWS

@thisgarbagepicker and I are starting the prelim planning for a medieval fantasy AU with witches and knights-errant and evil sorcerers, and, yeah, you’ve guessed it, forest floor banging!

We’re pumping ourselves up (probably) way too much for what was supposed to be a short, silly thing. Now there’s heaps and heaps of plot and world-building, and I made this sketch of a scene, and she’s planning moodboards, and we’re researching historical-fantasy-accurate genital slang.

Prepare your bodies.

In, like, February or something.

(IT’S FINE, TUMBLR, THEY’RE BOTH CLOTHED. MOSTLY. IT’S FINE.)

dear tumblr friends…

to say that i’m “disappointed” by the recent puritan tumblr crack-down on nudity is an understatement. i’m crushed. for many years, while twitter, facebook, instragram and patreon became more and more tight-wound, i always found tumblr a safe haven to post my free & joyful naked art and photos.

i don’t know what kind of world we are coming to - in 2018 - when the naked female body really causes so much distress because people are so afraid of the power it represents.

i was so, so, so excited to post my non-censored album cover here today.

i’ve been working on this album, which is titled THERE WILL BE NO INTERMISSION - for six years, and the album cover, which is full frontal, wasn’t chosen randomly. i knew i’d have to censor it in certain places.

since my last album came out in 2012 (that was “theatre is evil”, my infamous kickstarter record), i’ve been through a lot. i did a TED talk, i wrote a best-selling boo, i had an abortion, i had a son, i moved to the woods, i lost my very best friend to cancer, i had a miscarriage on christmas day shortly after, i watched trump march into the white house, and then i watched brett kavanaugh march into the supreme court.

but all this time, women were marching. louder and louder. i watched women all over the globe light fires in one another’s hearts and brains. i watched women step up and bravely, shamelessly, graphically tell their truths.

THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

when women are brave and shameless, we are unstoppable.

i am shameless.

i have no shame.

when did that become an insult, to be “shameless”?

WHO WANTS SHAME?

FUCK SHAME.

this record contains 10 of the most honest, vulnerable, funny, sad, dark, and (definitely) shameless songs i’ve ever written. the production is drum-tight, with very few drums: it’s mostly piano and ukulele with a smattering of other instruments, but it’s raw AF.

you can see the full cover, order the record, get tour tickets, etc, here on my website. the first single i dropped is also up there. go listen. the full album drops march 8th and the US/CANADA tour is on sale now.

https://nointermission.amandapalmer.net/

i love you all.

go forth in shamelessness.

The Change is coming.
