《The Way of Wrought Earth, or: My Tale of Rebirth as a Mostly Inanimate Rock》Afterword + Character Reports + Q&A (1)
Advertisement
Hello, hello. Some of you may know me from the days of old, where I used to write about cute girls doing cute things. Sometimes steamy content.
Those days are gone.
I'm John Fong and welcome to me becoming a human disaster in motion.
This is my first attempt at a serial work, which is quite exhilarating in its own right. I'm one of those people who would rather die than be seen naked, yet here I am, forced to post pieces of a story that I don't have 100% completed yet.
The horror. The humanity.
And for you, who got here, I have a few very choice words for you.
Thank you.
You must really like rocks, huh? You can't be sane if you made it this far.
So really, let's all go insane together. Why not, right?
I expected this story to entirely flop on landing, to break all of its bones and end up with a one million dollar hospital bill, as well as a few missing organs. But since there are people here, I guess I did something right.
I have around 7-8 completed stories that I'm slowly plinking away at queries for and some on Amazon, but those are beside the point. I hope that I can continue writing my little heart out for as long as I live.
So cheers. I'm sure I'll be in your collective debt sometime in the future, so just in advance, please don't take my organs. I need those.
And thanks.
As for a future posting schedule, I'm running out of steam. Expect weekly or biweekly chapters when I have some extra free time. I'm currently in between jobs, and since everything costs money, this can't be my main hustle — as much as I wish it was. Expect the start of the next arc within the next two days.

Naga rising (Final version)
Eshanai used to think that her life was pretty good, that the elders of her tribe of Naga sisters had their best interests at heart. But one suspiciously regular disaster after another sort of makes you question things. So when Eshanai decides to go out on the island to do the unthinkable, break some rules, and nothing terrible happens to her like the elders said it would, her questions start to multiply. What else could the elders be wrong about? Were the Naga really chosen by the spirits? And could there be other people out there, beyond their island? Follow Eshanai and some of her sisters as she tries to find a way to leave the island and comes up with increasingly creative ways to get into a certain Oni's pants. Author's note: This is not a rewrite of my original Naga rising story. It's more of a reimagining, as it contains many of the same characters and settings but will have a completely different plot. Be advised that the two are not related to one another. This should not be seen as any form of sequel or prequel story. So I have caught up to my backlog, and at first, I thought I could release a chapter once a week. That turned out to be unrealistic as I am writing in my spare time, so periods of inaction might not be uncommon. Some of the tags might not come into effect until later on in the story.
