[K1]Saw your post on multiverse stuff. Truth be told, I almost didn’t write this. Private doesn’t even begin to describe this stuff, and yet here I am, albeit on anon. I don’t know why I keep it so hidden, though. Every now and again it leaks into my fiction, but I stamp out the threads pretty quickly. Had I seen your post many years ago, I probably would have passed it off as just being one of those things that resonates with people for some reason, like the structure of the hero’s journey.

[K2]What bigger, more exciting stakes were there than multiversal danger? Heck, even I, a non-kin, had many thoughts about it… well, guess who eventually ended…

Ah, glamour bombing. I remember glamour bombing. For those who don’t know what it is, glamour bombing is/was a practice popularized by the Fae and…

There are a lot more older ‘kin (fiction and ‘other, not to mention multiples too) than people on this site realize. Most of us have stopped putting ourselves out there so much because when you get to be 30+, being open is more dangerous than when you’re a kid. Many of us have obligations and people we need to protect (jobs, kids, etc.). Being open can harm reputations, even get children taken away. It’s not safe to have beliefs/lives that fall outside the status quo.

So true! Keeping a clean reputation is important which is one big reason my kin blogs do not get related/linked to my other blogs!
