This is going to sound mean and petty but I'm sort of at the point where a lot of positive AO3 comments about Necessary Adjustments just make me genuinely angry.

Necessary Adjustments Chapter 10 is now out to read at PWYW on Itch and for free at archiveofourown.org/works/259126... and ayulaoneone.com/story/necess... !

WHOOPSIE! Didn't set myself a reminder to set NA10 to free, so it's been premium for an extra week! Gonna work on getting it out now.

this mothers day give your local 28-35 trans woman money and/or junk food

Okay but hear me out; band whose fans are suspiciously *all* girls. Boy goes to a concert to listen cuz his friend said he *has* to go. When he sees his reflection in the mirror on the way out of the concert he can't stand the sight of his beard for some reason. She has a new favorite band though~

Bad news gang. I can't keep my new role at work and other things are becoming fucked there as well. It's looking like I might need to jobhunt and in the meantime it'd really help if I could get extra cash to cushion the blow of the change. patreon.com/c/ayulaoneone ayulaoneone.itch.io/necessary10

It's international hyena day! Buy this old hyena's fiction. ayulaoneone.itch.io/necessary10 www.patreon.com/posts/154047...

Cannot figure out why this is happening. If any of my fans are familiar with the Eleventy/11ty SSG please get in touch.

Ah. Hm. All chapters of a story on my website update their posting date to whatever the most recently posted chapter's posting date is. THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

Lights and Sound is already at 17 pages (~8500 words) and still lacks a lot of its material. This one's gonna be big, folks.

Not sure what bee's got in my bonnet rn but it's hacking me the fuck off that all the AO3 comments on Necessary Adjustments Chapter 9 rn are some variation on "OMG it finally updated!" just a complete demoralising audience conversion failure. What's the fucking point, man.

@wirelessw.bsky.social Hey jsyk I'm not going to approve your comment on NA9 because it uses the no-no word on the don't mention the no-no word platform but I did read it and it was very touching thanks.

NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS CHAPTER 9 IS NOW OUT AND FREE TO READ! ON AO3! archiveofourown.org/works/259126... ON MY WEBSITE! ayulaoneone.com/story/necess... AND ON ITCH! ayulaoneone.itch.io/necessary09

just had to explain to someone that monsterfucking has nothing to do with energy drinks and I don't know which one of us is walking away from the conversation more traumatized

Last day to buy both of these together if you wanna support me but at a discounted price(?) but a greater price than just chapter 10 itself (??) Anyway chapter 9 goes free tomorrow (Monday)! Ping me if I forget.

Girls (5'7") will say things like this to me (6'1") and then when we're in a room together and I hike my dress up suddenly six inches is a lot.

"No no no. What you're describing is 'Mommydomming'. What I do is MUMMYdomming. It's incredibly wasteful of medical supplies and far more racist than you might imagine"

Why is it whenever bisexual women "betray lesbians" it's always by daring ever to interact with a man? That's boring. I can think of much more fun ways to betray a lesbian. Claiming to show her the way through the evil bog but actually leading her to my lair from which she can't escape, for instance

By the way, I have to crunch to prepare for another smaller convention this weekend, so progress on Lights And Sound is halted until next week.

Okay actually big complaint about Eastercon and the UK genre fiction scene in general: There's too many people who are C. [Consonant]. [Surname]. It's out of control. I don't understand why this is happening. I've seen like four.

This one would go so hard if my hair weren't fucked, gdi.

DOUBLE ADJUSTMENTS! The release of chapter 10 within the premium window for chapter 9 means that for the first time ever, TWO CHAPTERS of Necessary Adjustments are on sale at once! Save 30% on itch by buying as a bundle or head on over to patreon to grab both now with your sub! Links below!

Yeah and then you skipped out on your own communion *and* confession, whore. When am I getting the chance to tan that hide for your sins?

Hmm. I'll have to remember for next time that the fan pictures look much better than the hat ones.

Great weekend at @easterconuk.bsky.social this weekend. It was my first time attending a genre/spec fic con properly AS Ayula OneOne rather than just offhandedly mentioning that to folk and it made a huge difference, loved all the genuinely interested interactions from such a wide variety of people.

Day 4

Day 3

Day 2

Day 1!

really, the best sort of character you can create is a woman who is both a mad scientist and a pervert. no question about that.

Sissies who publicly attack trans people while engaging with humiliation-based feminization behind closed doors: have you considered fucking off? Never talking? Dying? Dying horribly?

Didn't think I had anything for TDOV but remembered I had this lying around lel Happy Trans Day Of Visibility!

Hey if any of you wanted to AMA on Anon at ayulaoneone.tumblr.com/ask in the next few hours that would be fun I think. I got some time and I'm currently really manic and extroverted for some reason, I need connection and occupation.

Someone on Tumblr sent me an ask about buy a trans girl a pizza day and... look you guys know where my Itch is. You can overpay and PWYW for the free stuff. You know where my patreon is. You aren't lacking for ways to give me money.

*Struggling with rationalising the plot of Lights & Sound* No, no she can't say that. That would be hypocritical and not make sense based on what she was doing before. So if she says that, and *she* accepts it, them still making up and hooking up would seem really toxic and unhealthy, and... wait.

Just been rereading some of my favourite parts of this and discovered there's a paragraph in Lights And Sound that's going to sound like it was lifted word for word from IMCY because Lili and I have both independently come to the same conclusion about the tax on superheroes'/magical girls' bodies.

I cannot wait to see what the swine think of these pearls

Whoops, uh, didn't remember I hadn't revealed the new story is about superheroes 🫣. Hey, the new story is about superheroes.

I've come to realise that the biggest thing that fuels my writing fervour is when I become compelled by consuming another piece of media, like it really gets in my brain and fills me with the drive to create.

Current story I'm working on is one I've wanted to write for a year and a half: it's a new thing unlike stuff I've done before, and it's based on a thread I posted a long time ago on Twitter.

It would be so good to see the look on a boy's face when he figures out the only way the clue to the whole mess he just found makes any sense at all is if the all-powerful evil architect of all his suffering and I, his innocent dutiful companion, are one and the same.

I want to watch him turn around slowly in shock and pain and let a smile creep over my face while the score changes to a sinister faster tempo orchestral reprise of my theme.

I want to effortlessly catch and arrest the same wild haymaker I pretended to be accidentally knocked down by when we first met, and throw him to the ground with barely a flex as my clothes burn away to reveal my gayer eviller outfit.

It's every woman's right to suddenly develop burning eyes and hover five feet off the ground above some idiot boy's prostrate form while she mocks him for missing all the obvious clues to her treacherous deception that he then proceeds to remember in soft-focus flashbacks.

The really fun thing about ch9 is it is def gonna sideswipe the folk who've been trying to figure out whether the story is set in "Victorian Times" or "WW1" and aren't ready for my frequent assertions of "Necessary Adjustments is set in an alternate history 190X" to finally materialise in the text.

Revelation of Who Is Fighting In The War and What The War Is About will put any notion of a terrestrial historically congruent setting for the story to bed I assure you.

Desperately yearning to say "I thought they'd never leave" from behind a boy's head the moment he's finally alone in his hospital bed after a life-threatening incident he knows but could never prove I engineered.

It's important for you guys to understand when I say I want to be a "baddie" I'm not just talking about having messy relationships and a fat ass.

Seeing a girl with a cute little accessory like a fashionable pair of glasses or a bow and imagining it floating on her surface instead of adorning her pretty face 😈

"Cis" boy freedom fighter with gynaecomastia coming up through the ranks hearing about a legendary boytamer who disappeared, leaving only her squad who now for some reason hunt his cell specifically. He presumes it's because they find the cell's advances in offensive hypnosis technology threatening.
