Ask Annabelle - October 2017 (Patreon)

I get a lot of questions in my email, on Literotica, through messenger, etc. I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my favorite questions and then my answers, especially because I don’t have an easy way to respond to Lit comments (without padding my comment count).

Are you going to include [insert monster here]? - Many Readers

This one is a tough one to answer, because I made the decision awhile (three weeks) back to surprise you with the monsters that get chosen. Without spoiling anything, I have a list of almost twenty (NOT A TYPO!) different monsters that may or may not become part of the story. I create a character first, on a piece of paper, and add in characteristics, description, etc. Then when I plan out my big plots, I decide which monster will fit the plot best. 

Then there are the ones I make up on the spot. Tink was made up on the spot. I love Tink. One reader asked if there would ever be a lizard type monster, to which I will say yes.

Where do you get your monster‘s mythology from?

I love old lore, absolutely love it! A lot of monster stuff right now is so heavily saturated with Hollywood influence, it’s simply too much. When I pick a monster, I go back to the original myths and culture so that I can properly honor their roots. This is especially evident in Cecilia, who isn't a vindictive spirit, but a guide to the afterlife.

How long will Home for Horny Monsters be?

I have enough plot lines for three 'books' as of right now. Considering the fact that the day I posted chapter 1 I hadn't even written chapter 2 yet, I feel like I am pretty far above the curve.

That's it for now! My out of town guest left this morning, and other than a cold that is slowing me down a bit, I took an extra day off work to get in some writing! Keep your eyes peeled this weekend for the next chapter!
