Ask Annabelle (Sept 2018) (Patreon)

I haven't done one of these in months!

Q1. How come you haven't done an Ask Annabelle in a while?

A1. Because I haven't gotten any questions! Most of what I have gotten lately are story related questions, and those I generally don't put up here.

Q2. I have seen you use faerie and fairy in your stories. What is the difference?

A2. Faerie refers directly to the Fae, which do have a specific origin/ethnicity. For example, Cecilia is a faerie creature because of her lineagem but she is not a fairy. Fairies (with an I instead of an e) or fairy refers specifically to tiny magical beings with wings. I actually referred to them once (jokingly) as the insects of the magical creature kingdom, and you saw where that went.

Q3. Will you update the Lit versions of your story to reflect the ebooks?

A3. Honestly, I thought long and hard about this. The answer is no for a couple of reasons. 

The first reason has to do with the time to do so. It would take me a while to upload the editing requests to Lit, and that is time I would rather spend here with you or on Twitter, or even Wattpad. 

The second reason has to do with giving people who pay the superior product. Money was spent to have these professionally edited - I used an editor who usually works primarily with erotica publishing houses (I wanted someone good). I want anybody who decides to pay to support me to get the better product as a reward. I know that many people who have already read the story on Lit will buy it online as well, and they deserve the fun surprise of a polished product. As it is, most authors take their stuff off of Lit when published. My argument is that the Lit version is rough enough that it gets to stay.

Q4. What do you listen to when you write?

A4. I got this from another writer. I listen to a lot of lyric-less music, usually stuff that matches the mood of the chapter or my current mood.

I listened to the following while writing Chapter 3-5 (I listened to other stuff too, but I always go back to this when writing Naia).
