Upload Notes: Goddess from the Deep Part II (Patreon)

Finally, an explanation to what's going on! ... Sort of. But I think the main mystery is clearly out of the way. Turns out this wasn't a fantasy story at all, but a sci-fi story! Put away the dice and pull out the uh light-up plastic swords. I hope this was a twist folks found compelling~ I really liked the idea the moment it was explained, it got me thinking of several scenes and moments that would be exciting to get to.

Structurally, I had a few change of plans since my original outline. This was originally going to be a two-parter, but part I sort of set a pace too slow and too dense for the rest of the material; it would make the beginning either seem pointlessly sluggish, or like the bulk of the story was rushed or packed in too tightly. So I decided to break it up more evenly into its thematic fractions: a beginning of intrigue, a middle of excitement, and the end... well, resolution of course, right? I suppose that's what the last part is mainly going to be about~

I put "light mind-breaking" in the content warnings as well as in the tags, but admittedly this part of the story isn't quite into that yet. I figured I'd include it because it's implied a lot through dialogue, and it will be a stronger theme going into the conclusion, though even to that extent I wonder just if it counts officially as "mind-break" haha. I've become interested in that theme since it's never been too much of a focus to me -- like, sure I suppose I've written it happening, but I don't think I've ever gone too far out of my way to express it. Not specifically one of my fetishes, BUT I think the concept goes great here. Shelby could've been maniacal and murderous, but I like that she subjugates the offerings-- ssshh, no spoilers haha. I will say though that reflecting on mind-break concepts has possibly influenced details I'll be exploring in the next part~

Part II was meant to be jarring, but ideally that effect wont detract any readers too badly~ I wanted to make for this confusion atmosphere, where the reader can empathize both mentally and physically for Vivian. The downside is that it's a chaotic sequence... Maybe the sex drags on a bit too long, idk, i never know how to really gauge the length such scenes should have; there's a want to keep it simple and easy to process, while still being fun and creative and engaging... I've been making um subtle efforts to try and make my writing more palatable, less offensive and all that... hence why I tried to twist Vivian's feelings around a bit, directing her to come around to what's going on, open up and make the most of it. I very much look forward to Vivian's attitude going forward~ Some creative circumstances ahead of her-- ahh, I just keep thinking ahead on this story, don't I?

Thanks for all the support, everyone~ Look forward to an interesting conclusion to this little saga!
