    Chapter 2: First Burn On his way to campus, Nos took the long route, hoping to avoid Orion and his crew. The eastside entrance featured rows of marble statues, lining both sides, of key vampire figures from the past, including a founder who happened to be Nos’s ancestor, a Neroli. The art professor frequently sent students there to study and write papers on the sculptures. Finding the area empty was a rare stroke of luck. At the very least, he hadn't run into any huma

    Reishi mushrooms aren't meant for cooking, are they?

    I like how Julian's mom's immediate reaction was "those knuckleheads." 😂

    Between this story and Sweet Sour Paradox Logic, I'm really starting to get hungry.

    This story takes "cooking with flair" to a whole new level.

    When he had let Kevin taste it, he hadn’t realized the candle had fallen into his sauce pot. He sure as hell wasn’t going to admit it now. - 🤣 Oh no! "Okay, to be honest, I have no idea how happy the hen was when it died. I know the wings were happy in my oven but if you don’t want to try, I understand. - 🤣How can you even tell? The color shifted — not gradually, not the way color usually moved through different shades. It changed in a drastic explosion of an atomic bomb. Caden stood very still and watched it settle./"That's not a normal color for a wing sauce - 🤣 I'd still try it. What a wild ending!

    I'm glad you think so far!

    Thank you! A third of the way in, I realized I bit off more than I could chew. I don't regret asking for help and noting all the different perspectives from the more experienced writers around me. It really made me appreciate writing as a whole.

    When I was reading some of the unfortunate details regarding vampires and incubi throughout history (the real historical origins are not nearly as cool as the made up lore, real life is always darker than fiction), I couldn't help but wonder about what mixed vampires and incubi with human heritage would feel, and how they would interact with their peers. The story was more challenging to complete than I thought, and in the process, I came to appreciate my favorite writers all the more. So, I hope I did everyone who helped me proud.

    Jack, I can't thank you enough. I've learned so much these last couple of years and I am fully aware it's still only the tip of the iceberg. Your work was undoubtedly one of my inspirations and one of the sparks that compelled me to try to write.

    SA should be kicking off soon, so there will be no shortage of interesting stories to read in the meantime. There are 11 chapters and an epilogue. Dhampirs in this story's world only have traits that the parents already carried. Some carry more of one side than the other, but they're just mixed supernatural kids.

    And I can't thank you enough! @weinerdog Remember that there's no such thing as a bad dog. 😂 I promise there's less than a handful of "frightful vampiric" moments in the story, the focus is on Nos and his fated mate. 😄
  17. BendtedWreath
    Believe me, every little bit I learned these last couple of years from everyone helped a great deal. And every story I've read (yours included) served as great inspiration.

    You were one of the writers who shared some examples years ago when I sought help in the forums regarding 'showing how other characters feel/what they are thinking' without actually writing what they were thinking because they weren't the main character.😆

    I don't think you're the only one, Thirds. Thanks again for the amazing art! Thanks so much, Chris! We have @Thirdly to thank for the cover art, and other images. @kbois was one of my fearless leaders, and the very first person to help guide me in the right direction when it came to writing as a whole.🫡The same goes for @CassieQ, @Thirdly, and (though he denies it) @Jason Rimbaud. I firmly disagree. You've taught me a lot of things: Consistency when it comes to names, balanced dialogue tags, and always treating the first draft like clay, just to name a few!

    I've finally begun posting the story and wanted to add the link:

    Nos is half human, half vampire, and 100% stressed out. At school, he’s surrounded by purebred vampires who never let him forget he’s different. But then he’s struck with the Change, and Nos’s looks are enhanced. You’d think being easy on the eyes would make his fated match happy, but his destined partner doesn’t trust pretty faces. Just how does one seduce a cambion?

    Seducing The Cambion Written by @BendtedWreath Edited by @kbois & @CassieQ Betas/Muses/Guides: @Thirdly, @Jason Rimbaud, & @chris191070 Additional help from: @LJCC, @drown, @Jack Poignet, & @Headstall Chapter 1: The Change "Nosferatu reeks again," Perrie said as Nos slid into his seat. "Gross." The blonde vampiress was as striking as her words were sharp. But Nos didn’t bother looking at her. Instead, he focused on the syllabus on his laptop, anything

    Never was a stabilizing nail more dire. 🤣 This was great!

    Last year, there was definitely a variety in terms of genres. Like @drsawzall said, they were all worth reading. As for whether they will help you guess the authors this year, you never know. Those Secret Authors, as @Gary L says, are a sneaky, lying bunch! I encourage everyone to keep an eye out for this year's Secret Author guessing/discussion thread when it goes live. The speculations are just as entertaining as the entries! 🤣
  25. BendtedWreath
    I am pretty sure this happens no matter what. 🤣
