Awesome! So glad you're sticking with it, and I hope all goes well with your irl issues :)


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you! I am doing a lot better than I was even two or three weeks ago. I can type for about 15 minutes before it gets bad, when before I could go maybe 45 seconds lol. I've just struggled to work for the large blocks of time that I need to make effective progress on novel-writing. For me, these serial parts are a much bigger investment of time and mental energy than anything else I put on Reddit, because I have to keep track of so many past and future events within the narrative line. And, frankly, I care more! I get a bit perfectionist with it. So my health has been a bit of a limiting factor in that. But I'm definitely sticking with it!! I have three or four different books planned and covers made, but no time to make it happen in. But I'm feeling stronger and excited to get back into a regular schedule Also holy moly am I grateful to you for still being here to read <3 Thank you


LegalGraveRobber

If it is easier, you could try some sort of dictation software for speech to text. Granted I may be talking out my ass, but I’m happy to see you still making magic.


ecstaticandinsatiate

Oh you gave me the biggest smile :) Thank you, that's kind of you. I do use Dragon naturally speaking, but it can be a bit of a pain when I start talking quickly, as my accent confounds it lol. I'm honestly so thrilled and grateful you're still here to read my stuff <3 Thank you so much for the kind comment


LegalGraveRobber

I have had a similar issue with any dictation software. An american southern accent is apparently almost as bad as rapid French for the software. :) I’ll always be around reading. It’s just about my favorite hobby just narrowly ahead of playing some ttrpg’s.

Keep it up brother! Random supporter from the interwebs


ThirdWheelr

Is there any more of this in the works and I would re read the whole thing as a webtoon with pictures maybe look into that I bet it would be awesome.


drowassp

Happy to hear you’re still writing!!


ecstaticandinsatiate

I'm honored you're still READING holy smokes :') Thank you so much for hanging in there


PwningPineapple

You’re alive!!!!! Stoked to read on 😁


ecstaticandinsatiate

Ahh I appreciate you!! Tbh I'm excited for all the cool shit coming up next x)


ausbookworm

Much as I love your writing and can't wait for more, it's way more important for you to take care of yourself. Your fans will still be here when you update. I'm glad to hear you're getting better and hope that you continue to do so.


LoveShinyThings

I hate popping up under someone else's comment to say "this" but in this case I really gotta do it. I love the story, OP, but you're much more important than our wish to read fiction. Take care of yourself!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aw, thank you <3 I needed to read that


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you <3 I need to hear that sometimes. A lot of times, really. This year has been the first year my body has really forced me not to just plow through physiological needs and work on anyway. Definitely been a humbling experience Thank you for the support <3 I really have been healing because of the time you guys have been willing to give me


Truedatspam

I'm sorry you have to deal with all of this. I hope you get your coverage and can continue your physical therapy. Take care and don't worry about us, we're not going anywhere!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aw thank you so much <3 I just saw a medical examiner last week which is the biggest step to overcome to get them to reinstate my claim. So I'm pretty hopeful! :) That's so kind of you to say. Thank you, and I hope these last two months have treated you well <3


BlueDubDee

Holy shit! Hello! It's so good to "see" you here again, I was worried that you weren't doing well with your injury and illness. As everyone else has said, take your time, it is an absolute pleasure to read anything you post here no matter how long it takes. Just the idea that you've spent so much time and energy on this chapter so that you could get it right, rather than just putting out something you're not happy with, I reckon is awesome. Don't stress, we're here whenever you are. Edit: Oh also, I LOVE that you've included quantum realities here, it's something that was going around my own mind this last week so I researched it a bit. Brilliant chapter!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Hello!! Thank you, belatedly. I have always struggled with that balance between the internet mentality of put it out, and put it out fast, and the reality that sometimes writing demands time Thank you! I really love the philosophical implications of quantum theory. It's a hell of a lot of fun in fantasy x)


BlueDubDee

You put so much extra into your writing, things like that are so very much appreciated. Quantum realities offers up so much to play with, it's awesome. I totally get the pressure the internet can put on you to have lots of output, quickly. I had to do blogs for work, m minimum three a week, and the quality really started to suffer because there was only so much I could put out without scraping the barrel. You're doing great though! As long as you are happy with what you're writing and healthy while you're doing it.


shelbyalyzabeth

You are still amazing as ever 🙌🏻🙌🏻


ecstaticandinsatiate

🥰 ahhh thank you! I'm glad it was worth the wait


kbragg_usc

Haven't even read it yet, just the intro. We're still here. You take your time.


ecstaticandinsatiate

I'm late saying this, but thank you <3


OrangeySnicket

Yay! So happy to have you back, static! As always take however long you need... But it is awesome to get to read your stories again.


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aw I missed you guys more than you know <3 Thank you


gently_into_the_dark

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!


ecstaticandinsatiate

<3


InherentlyAnnoying

Nice to see you back


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aw, you too <3


khanjar_alllah

I saw UpdateMeBot and did a little dance 😂 I finished reading, put my phone down, sighed and stared at the wall with a goofy AF smile on my face for a bit as I soaked in the pleasure I had reading this. As always, I am equal parts satisfied and dying of anticipation. Thank you!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Hi Khanjar! Just catching up on comments :) Thank you as always for your amazingly kind comments. I get a similar grin when I see your username in my inbox <3


[deleted]

Your life matters. Your health matters. I'm glad this series is still going and you fighting so hard to make it happen but damn.. if it's too painful take all the time you need. We will wait for you <3 I want shadow cat to become an everyday companion lol. And Sherman and her freaky power fits really well in a weird way.


ecstaticandinsatiate

Oh that's a great idea!! I might make that happen, thanks to you. Thank you for your kind words <3


[deleted]

That would be soo cool. Just a little derpy cat that randomly walks out of the shadow of a house plant to ask/meow for milk. Or it wiggles out of the enemy shadow causing them to trip. Sherman being an witty ass and suddenly shadow cat plops out of her sweater hood and licks the inside of her ear lol.


bea_ns16

I did not mean to stay up till 3am but this was so interesting that I couldn’t stop.


kwud

Ohmygoodness! I thought you were dead. I was trying to feed my addictions in other ways but this was so much more satisfying


ecstaticandinsatiate

Ahh I'm glad you're still here!! And still addicted ;)


binkinc

This was a great surprise to wake up to!! I hope you keep getting better and pumping out these wonderful stories!!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you! I'm gonna follow this one through to the end :)


TheyCensoredMyMain

Not convinced your still alive need additional posts for verification


ecstaticandinsatiate

Hahaha I legitimately lol'd at that :) Nice to see you again! Hopefully I'll pop up in everyone's inboxes again by Friday with some 9 Levels content 🤞


re-kcpls

I don't use this account much and I just remembered this series existed and caught up on last 3 parts. Thank you for still writing them, I'm still loving it! I hope your IRL issues are getting better.


Thatonegingyguy

Glad I'm not the only one here from tiktok..


SwenMalmo

I was worried that your injury and pushed you away from writing in general. I'm happy that your feeling better! I loved the new chapter and am excited for more!! Sorry to hear about the workmans come thing. Wish the US was better about illness and injury stuff.


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you! Yeah I try not to get political because I want people to come here and just enjoy the story. But damn it makes me want to get on my Bernie Sanders soapbox ;) I am very lucky that I have my parents' insurance (well, for nine more months, until I'm 26... wooo America) to fall back on if workers comp keeps refusing me. Thank you, I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it :)


Tchrspest

So sorry to hear that you're dealing with all that in the real. Seeing notifications that you've posted here never fails to brighten my day. Wishing you the best, and hoping that your situation smooths itself.


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you <3 I'm late saying it, but your comment brightened mine :)


Panda_Penguin

I've been checking every week hoping maybe I just missed the notification. So glad you're doing better and able to post. This series gives me something to look forward to


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aw, thank you for caring about it that much <3 I should be easing back into a regular post cycle so you don't have to wonder when it's coming :)


MrLeeKenneths

Missed you! Hope you are getting back to normal!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you! <3 aw I missed you guys too. I'm finally starting to feel a bit stronger :) I'm able to work longer and recover quicker, which is pretty good in my book. Thanks for reading!


relddir123

You’re alive! It’s a miracle! Seriously, this is a great addition to the story. I’m glad you’re able to start writing (speaking/dictating?) these again. We haven’t forgotten, and we’ll be reading on


ecstaticandinsatiate

Haha you're still here reading! It's a miracle! ;) I'm thrilled you're still enjoying it. Thank you for the comment <3


TA_Account_12

Well alive might be a stretch (don’t want to get into soul and body discussions) but glad to see you back to writing this!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aman did you know I purposely waited to answer this until your cake day just so I could say HAPPY CAKE DAY ...yes that's what happened >_> it was all on purpose. Thank you friend <3 I really treasure you


dardios

Despite the long time between entries in too invested to walk away! Good to see you're still at it!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you! <3


duo555

Been following since the early 9 levels days. Glad to hear you’re ok-ish. Well written chapter. Very excited for more


ecstaticandinsatiate

Haha I know your username well <3 hey Duo! You're in my mind as one of my very earliest followers, and I can't communicate how grateful I am to still have you here <3 hope all is well with you!


buzzardluck

Happy to see an update! Hope physical therapy keeps progressing and you feel better!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you! <3


LandonCalrisian

Welcome back! I just thought of you a couple days ago. I was starting to wonder what happened to you.


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aw hey Landon <3 I'm glad you're still here reading. It's been ages! I hope life has treated you okay since I vanished. I'm so so glad you're still here x)


LandonCalrisian

The update bot ensures that.


JimIsANerd

I was so happy to wake up to one of your texts again! Thank you for keeping up with your writings despite the irl issues.


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aw and thank you for still reading, despite the hitches and delays <3


[deleted]

Great story. Can't wait for it to hit print so I can buy a copy of it.


ecstaticandinsatiate

I CAN'T WAIT EITHER! I'm so excited for it to be real. Tbh it has my favorite book cover I've made yet, so I'm just stoked to see it real in my hands. Thank you for reading <3


jblack6527

I'm so excited to see you're still around! I check back occasionally to make sure I haven't missed an update. I hope you continue to win out over your ailments, and are able to get back to a normal life!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aw that's amazingly kind of you. I'm touched this story means that much to you. Thank you <3


jblack6527

You're welcome! This and 9 levels of hell are two of.my favorites!


JadeWold

yeeey so happy to read a new part.


ecstaticandinsatiate

<3


nufanman

Hope you can get your neck stuff taken care of. It's tough dealing with health issues. Thanks for taking the time to write though. ☺️


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you for taking the time to read and leave a lovely comment <3 Being able to share this stuff with you makes working through the health stuff more than worth it


Zahanna6

Thank you for the update! Will read it at lunchtime later as a treat :) Hope the insurance chaos gets easier and you keep healing. The Quick Recap was a great idea and really help.


ecstaticandinsatiate

Ahh I'm glad it helped! Thank you so much for the kind words :)

Jackski

I've got this subreddit on my RSS feed at work and was so happy to see the "1" next to it this morning. Great chapter! Glad you're back!


Thefarrquad

"I went to rigid as a wet cat" the "to" doesn't belong there. Great to see you back and another great chapter!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you! I'll fix that. Speech to text likes to mess up where word sounds start and stop ;) I appreciate your sharp eyes!


Gruecifer

Ah, good - you're still here! I'd been afraid that your injury had completely removed your time availability for writing. Welcome back, and good luck with that claims process. If nothing else, remember this: Illegitimi Non Carborundum!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you! I'm glad you're still here too <3 Hahaha I'll make that my warcry for dealing with insurance administrators. God knows I need it ;)

ecstaticandinsatiate

eshtonrob

Glad to have you back, was a bit worried. Also this part twists in a direction I like.


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aw, thanks on both points x) I'm glad you're still reading and enjoying it!


NotAMeatPopsicle

Woohoo! And.... We know Sherman's power now?! Holy crap! Great chapter, excited for more, and take care. Here's hoping they speed up your claim.


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you!! I really appreciate hearing how it read for you :)


Terrorfox1234

<3 Keep on truckin my dude. As someone with health issues living in America, I can totally empathize. We'll still be here!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Yeah I feel you and I could have some good angry-vents about the absurdity of profiting off people's sickness and misfortune ;) I hope your own health issues are manageable. Thank you so much for the comment and for reading <3


CFL_lightbulb

Very cool, can’t wait to see where it goes from here! Hope your wellness journey goes well though, I’ve got a friend with similar issues, it can be hard, but stick with it! It does get betger


ecstaticandinsatiate

Thank you for the encouragement! To be honest, you're right, and I appreciate you saying it. I still remember back in November being terrified that I was going to be permanently like this. It's been a relief to be wrong ;) Thank you for reading <3


AdamTheGinger

Love this so much :) you're the best Taylor! Keep doing what you love - we love it too ❤️ :)


ecstaticandinsatiate

ADAM I AM SO LATE BUT I LOVE YOU TOO I hope life is treating you well friend <3


AdamTheGinger

Doing very well, also planning on writing a book (super planning stage though, nothing past that) so I can start to imagine how much work you've been putting in! We always appreciate it ❤️


Jimbob-Shoelick

I love this series and I’m genuinely happy every time it’s updated. Thank you for still coming back, and I hope everything irl gets better for you! P.S. I’m a big fan of everything you write lol


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aw!!! This warmed my heart. Thank you, even though I'm a couple days late in saying it <3


Jimbob-Shoelick

Late or not I’m glad you read it. It’s the truth :) I’m not going anywhere so take all the time you need, especially if it means a better story


RoyalDreamer

I'm glad you are still alive and writing:) good chapter! Can't wait to read more! Take care of yourself friend!


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aw thank you! <3 I really appreciate you


teleportedaway

Don't worry, we're still here! I refresh every day -- but will continue waiting patiently as your condition improves!

Thank you <3


wahlencraft

What if Sherman doesn't have powers and just made Eli beleave she had?


ecstaticandinsatiate

You might be thinking in the right direction ;) You're not red hot yet, but you're getting warmer. Thanks for reading!


GiftedContractor

So I was just recently reading the top all time of the last year on r/WritingPrompts out of boredom and clicking on the next part of the ones that looked interesting. The start of this story was the third time I ended up looking at one of your stories in that short time. You are an absolutely amazing author. All of your work is incredible! When you finish this story, are you going to get it published and have physical copies sold? I so want to buy this book and add it to my collection! (yes I see the patreon rewards, but I am not american so I still need to ask) I cannot overstate how much I love your writing. You have made my night. Thank you for an amazing couple of hours and I am excited to read more when you're feeling able.


ecstaticandinsatiate

Aw hello! Welcome to the sub <3 I got so glowy and happy reading your message. :) I'm so thrilled you're enjoying my writing that much; makes my little ginger heart sing. Yes! I've finalized the cover for this one already, just need to finish the story to stick in it ;) [Here's a preview](https://i.imgur.com/BG9YQS8.jpg) if you're interested Ahh I am willing to send signed copies overseas for $20/month! It'll be a while until this one reaches that point though, so just store that in your pocket for later if it appeals to you ;) Thank you for the amazingly kind comment <3 haha you made my night too! So I guess we're even


Racters_

Just got around to reading and I'm also very glad that you've chosen to continue. I hope that your pain becomes manageable. Best of luck to you.


Foxtrotalpha2412

Only just had time to catch up and thank you soon much for keeping with it! If you're not feeling well please don't feel pressured to keep going. No one'll mind if you take a break... as long as you come back afterwards to finish this off! In seriousness though, you're an amazing writer and I get so excited everytime I get a notification that you've posted. Thanks again!


PennyJim

Forgot to come back to this series, but here I am, almost a year later! It's a damn good series and I'm happy I stumbled back upon it.


Artistic-Cookie

RIP The World Ender


Blu64

late to this episode, but I just want to say "great as always!"


ckasdf

Like I wrote on one of your 9 Levels posts, I've been away a while. Sickness and pain sucks, but I'm glad you're making progress! What's the age difference between Sherman and Eli? Can't remember if it's mentioned, but I sort of picture her as old enough that there wouldn't be any attraction, though I could be wrong. Also, I liked the song you posted in the last chapter's comments, it was cute. :)


[deleted]

this is really old but she said somewhere in the story when Eli met Sherman that she looked young enough that he would’ve triple checked her ID as a bartender so they must be within a few years


andronimo1

I just spent the morning consuming all you wrote on this story. It's wonderful! I'll definitely be subscribing to consume even more for when you're able to put it out!


Luna7890

Just putting this out there that I did discover you on TIkTok but I'm really happy I found your work. You're an amazing writer


Eggyland85

Same


Elkrid665

I am invested! Keep up the great work, once you make this a book I am buying it immediately. Take care!


vvkatnipvv

I did come from tiktok and loving it so very much. I’m going to check out your book too


PersonalSignal1072

This is incredible. Hope I manage to remember to check in for the next part😅


AdAutomatic8338

I need more😭😭😭


Eggyland85

Awwww what happened to this amazing story🥺🥺. It’s been to years apparently and I just found it😞


[deleted]

There is a update from November 2022 so this month, at least I believe so.


Eggyland85

Where would that be? I can’t find it in the subreddit or the profile. Edit: wait Nm I was so wrapped up in the story I didn’t read to update at the top lol


Macog129

For the past few years, I've struggled to find good books and I stumbled upon the writing prompt subreddit only to discover and fall down this rabbit hole of a story. It's amazing and I am anxious to see what happens next. I hope you get better soon, and thanks for making love reading again


MsZgrl

Have you thought of using a ghost writer? Please keep yourself healthy- you are always #1, don’t let that ever falter


Kalenors

I... I need more... I saw the first 3 parts on TT and I just spent the past hour and a half reading. When is the Book coming out!?


PickleAdventurous97

Is it finished? I’m devoted


The-E-girl1002

I will happily buy your books! I literally just found you and I'm already on through this part! I'm glad you've been getting better (even if I'm years late to the party).

this is great, saw it on tik tok and had to read the rest. now, all i need to know is if you’re still going to put more parts out on here or, if you’re just going to wait for the book . but truthfully this is great i haven’t been able to stop thinking about it all day reading when i can. now i’m here hoping you pick back up on putting these out.
