Hello , I saw your stories especially Kuramaxreader : embracing the seasons I love it. Did you see yuyu hakusho live action ? , do you still write some fics? I would like one of Kurama but devired of movie

Hi! Thank you so much. <3 It's always nice to pick up new EtS fans, even after it's been finished for years.

I do plan on continuing to write, but I'm still quite busy with work and the baby! I'm not sure how Kurama is depicted in the movie--how is anime Kurama different from movie Kurama? I imagine they're very similar.

2023 and On Writing Plan!

Hello, Dear Readers!

As I’m combing through comments and emails, and responding to as many as I can, I am overwhelmed by the supportive community. So, to those who reached out to me via whatever channel or commented on my works while I was out of commission, I appreciate you. <3

Now, I’m trying to come up with a strategy. Basically, how am I going to get back into writing after being gone for so long?

Well, I’ve come to some possible conclusions, so I figured I’d share them with you:

Some of my behaviors will be changing to make my time more efficient. For example, I used to wait until I was about to post an update to respond to comments. I may be doing this throughout the day now as I have a bit of time on my phone, maybe while the baby naps or between appointments at work. Things like this!

I will try to keep to the current chapter length for each respective piece of fiction consistent, but going forward, chapters will likely be longer. I generally can get updates out faster in smaller segments, but I’m not looking for speed now, per se, as much as consistency. This will allow me to save time in the posting process, and I can stick with a story longer so I don’t forget what transpires when switching back to it from updating something else. My memory is not what it used to be, embarrassingly enough.

Unfortunately, I will be indefinitely discontinuing my Expression of Thanks raffle. I hate doing this, but it’s a huge time-sucker that I could enjoy doing when I had fewer responsibilities—just not with a baby! I am sincerely sorry about this. I hope to do this again in the future.

I have a few active projects currently:

Armistice

Taming a Dragon

Star Forger

Chasing Autumn

Jaharaan Love

I will be prioritizing Taming a Dragon and Chasing Autumn first as TaD is almost finished, and CA is short and sweet.

Next, I will focus on Armistice and Star Forger. Both are projects that I am passionate about. Armistice is outlined quite far out, and I actually already have content written in future chapters for key plot events. Star Forger is huge undertaking for me, but I am so, so excited about bringing a quality WWYFF to the YYH world, so I’m going to do my best!

Afterward, I will pour all that I have into updating the rewrite of Jaharaan Love, which is my first love and brainchild. I might sneak some work into this project even amongst the other updates, but I really want to bring this to life for the readers who have stuck with me since the beginning. Its sister story, Dalanten Hope, is likely to either be updated concurrently or after I finish the revamp.

Lastly… well, I don’t really know. I always have ideas for reader-inserts and WWYFFs. I have a dream to be published one day, but who knows? I have a daughter now, and she will be my focus for the next ten years until she decides she’s a big girl and doesn’t want constant attention from Mom all the time. I’ll do my best to keep up with writing until then—it’s a skill I’m going to have to continue to flex.

Of course, I ask for your patience. I understand the prospect of getting updates so scantly is not appealing. But if you’re still a reader-insert-lover like me, that desire to read high quality fiction never really goes away…

Much love to you all! Thank you for all you do to support me!

Hey! Are you the same Penguiduck from Lunaesence? I heard you were leading the revamp (alongside Diamond April), and seeing that you have a baby (congrats, btw), I'm wondering if that was why the sudden disappearance? A lot of us were super worried!

If this isn't you, whoops, you have the same penname. Don't mind me :) I was hoping for the website to be archived by Open Doors, if it's never returning. Hope you're having a great day!

Hello! I am the same Penguiduck!

I'm definitely not leading the revamp, though--that is very much a rumor. lol. I haven't been a moderator since 2019, so I'm in the dark as much as you. I also donated a heavy sum of funds back in the day, so as I'm sure as you can relate, I'm very disappointed in its disappearance.

I'm sorry. I know that isn't the answer you're looking for, but I don't have any leads for you.

Take care!

Marriage wasn’t everything. It was just a piece of paper, a certificate with two names scribbled in black ink. Some ordained officiant would watch you both sign the document and declare your relationship to any guests who cared to show up as witnesses.

That was the bare minimum for a legal marriage.

It really didn’t mean anything.

Hello! I'm back!

Hello, Dear Readers!

First, allow me to offer my sincere apologies for vanishing these past 18 months.

I welcomed my daughter in October of 2022, and ever since, I've been incredibly busy with her care and development.

Before then, you would think that I could have alerted the world to my condition, and I had full intentions of doing so—but any time I thought about it, I had neither the energy nor the willpower to bring myself to do it. My pregnancy, while a healthy one, was absolutely fatiguing to me. I, no joke, slept an average of 12-15 hours a day. I'd wake up, feel sick, attempt to eat, go to work, come back home, attempt to eat, nap, do a chore or two, and then sleep. That was my life for about 9 months. Lol.

Then, come October, I said hello to the most beautiful girl. Over eight pounds, ten little fingers and ten little toes, she made my fourth trimester life awful, but such are newborns. She is ten months old now, and she is thriving, crawling and babbling, and almost walking!

We read at least 20-30 books most days (there was one day she read 70!). She is cutting teeth, so she gnaws on a lot of frozen fruit and crusty bread. We have the most wonderful nanny who watches her while I work during the day—I was blessed to be provided 6.5 months of maternity leave.

She is my moon and stars, and I am incredibly blessed to have her.

That being said, I strive for work/life balance. At this point, I'd like to get back to writing a bit more. I have that writing itch that feels all too familiar to me, a tingling in my fingers. I can't promise I'll be as prolific as before my pregnancy, but I'm going to do the best I can, even if that means writing a couple hundred words here and there.

Thank you for reading this and for sticking with me through this very challenging (and rewarding!) time in my life. There will be more updates about my plans to come as I consolidate my thoughts, respond to emails, messages, and comments; and continue my writing journey again! I appreciate all of you and your patience and flexibility!

Penguiduck is back. <3

I miss your updates. Is everything going OK for you? Just worried. Hope you're well!

Thank you for checking in on me. I've gone through some life changes, but I'm doing well--details to come!

[penguiduck]

Hey I wanted to check in on how you were doing. I fallow you on ao3 I used to be firedancernix and read your Star Forger series. I know it takes a lot to write a WWYFF so I wanted to check in on how you're doing. Hope you're doing well.

Hello! Thank you for checking in on me! I'm doing well, overall! I know I vanished for a while, but I'm coming back to writing more regularly! Updates to come!

[penguiduck]

omigosh! i don't know why but i randomly remembered you and your series on quizilla so i looked you up and i'm so happy you're still writing! not sure what i went by back then and doubt you'd remember me anyways, but i hope you're doing well! <3

Thank you so much! Quizilla was so long ago, but I'm glad and flattered you remembered me! <3

[penguiduck]

Have you ever seen Demon Slayer? So far I’ve really enjoyed it! If you ever needed something new to watch I’d definitely check it out!

I have not! You're not the first person to recommend it, so I'll check it out if I have a new anime itch!

[penguiduck]

It Lunaescence ever coming back?

Unfortunately, I can't answer that question. I'm neither a moderator any longer nor the owner of the site.
