Hey everyone,
I want to start this by thanking everyone who have been supportive of this project. Your praise and compliments give me the energy, the strength, and the resolve to keep working. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you all. I'm going to keep working on this project until its completion and I look forward to hearing all of your feedback as I continue to release chapters.
There are certain aspects of the game I'm willing to compromise on. I don't mind making small additions or alterations to enhance the experience for my audience. In fact, it's been imperative to my growth as an artist to hear your concerns and displeasures.
With that said, there are several things I'm not willing to compromise on. Petal is a mature, educated young adult who is thoughtful and intelligent. The way she speaks reflects this maturity. I'm not going to write any of my characters like babbling babies, petulant children, or however the new age zoomers talk. It's just never going to happen. I don't want to write it and I wouldn't want to read it. (It may help to know that the three young women all have their own specialty. Petal is the smart one, Bliss is the strong one, and Moon is the talent.)
Chester, the MC, is a flawed and imperfect person. I'm not writing him that way accidentally and I haven't made any errors while developing his character. We're even going to learn more about his faults and failures as the story progresses. All of this being intentional. In A Petal Among Thorns, he's developing a relationship with Petal and she's going to help push him forward into a new career path. However, in A Moment of Bliss we'll see Bliss push him to become a better person. There's a lot of character growth coming for him in the sequel. If he started off perfect as some sort of super mega ultra alpha Chad, there'd be no tale to tell. It would be a boring and lifeless story.
This is also not a story where everyone is overdosing on lust and throwing themselves in bed with the MC right away. I find those stories to be terribly boring and there are plenty of videos of such simple and contrived sexual encounters on PornHub. In my stories there will always be a build up for the characters. Rewards are the most fulfilling when they are earned and sex is better after a reasonable amount of teasing, buildup, and anticipation. If I wanted to have sex with a vapid prostitute, I'd go to Vegas.
Myrabelle is here because I too often launch into rather negative territory. She's going to be my representative on F95 to answer questions and respond to positive comments because I'm terrible at keeping my mouth shut when people say mean things about my work and my girls.
There are a lot of exciting events coming up that will be especially magnified for all those that have followed my work up until now. Petal's universe is connected to Avalon's. We're going to see that interconnect soon and fans of my work will be deeply rewarded by some of these events. I'm excited to keep working and I'm thrilled to hear all your comments.
Thank you for making this experience wonderful for me. I appreciate all of you that have enjoyed my work.
