While it might have seemed spontaneous, there were real world reasons. I won't go into it all because, well, it's a lot of stuff. To make an extremely long, complicated story very short, the consequences of my own actions reared their ugly head and I believed that the world would be better off without me. I left all of my Discord servers, erased my Patreon, and tried to eliminate every trace of myself before attempting suicide.</p></div></div></div><section class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-25 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above view-mode-teaser"><h2 class="field-label">Caution:&nbsp;</h2><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/caution/caution-attempted-suicide" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">CAUTION: Attempted Suicide</a></li></ul></section><section class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-26 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above view-mode-teaser"><h2 class="field-label">Blog About:&nbsp;</h2><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/blog-about/caution" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">CAUTION</a></li></ul></section><section class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-8 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above view-mode-teaser"><h2 class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</h2><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/author/rylee-skye" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Rylee Skye</a></li></ul></section> Mon, 15 Apr 2024 17:04:09 +0000 Rylee Skye 102120 at https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf Dear Ariel - Chapter 12 https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/102119/dear-ariel-chapter-12 <div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-8 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/author/rylee-skye" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Rylee Skye</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/audience-rating/mature-subjects-pg15" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Mature Subjects (pg15)</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-2 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/publication/publication-20" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Novel Chapter</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-11 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/permission/posted-authors" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Posted by author(s)</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><strong>January 15 2001</strong><br /> Ariel handed Rylee a plastic bag the moment they crossed the threshold into Amber’s apartment;

I came through surgery fine and I'm recovering.. painfully. </p> <p>Dear Ariel is written up to chapter 5 and 6 is halfway done. There is also significant progress on Fen and Fern Chapter 2, so look for that soon. </p> <p>I'm on an every two week posting schedule for the moment so while the chapters are longer there's going to be a bit of a gap between them.

There was no way she’d be able to concentrate on work today; she’d be seeing Rylee in less than a week! The tickets were on the way, according to Tori, and she wasn’t sure how she was going to approach the topic of bringing Rylee back with her. She had little doubt that Rylee would agree; her real concern was with this Tori person.

Chapter 7 is posted after some heavy editing! This particular chapter is interesting because it was the first time I was actually clocked after my transition. The Fiona thing was...definitely clocking but it didn't count because she had enough outside information to form a definitive conclusion. I remember that disaster like it was yesterday, haha. Anyway, enjoy the chapter, I'll be back either later this week or next week!</p> </div></div></div><section class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-26 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above view-mode-teaser"><h2 class="field-label">Blog About:&nbsp;</h2><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/blog-about/authors-stories-books-writing" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Authors / Stories / Books / Writing</a></li></ul></section><section class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-8 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above view-mode-teaser"><h2 class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</h2><ul class="field-items"><li class="field-item even"><a href="/topshelf/author/rylee-skye" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Rylee Skye</a></li></ul></section> Sun, 09 Apr 2023 18:59:10 +0000 Rylee Skye 97742 at https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf Short Chapter - Sorry! :( https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/blog-entry/97703/short-chapter-sorry <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-teaser"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>The latest chapter of Dear Rylee weighs in at about 2700 words which is abysmally short, so I do apologize for that. Most of the story is already written and I'm just posting what's in the word doc. As we move further on, the chapters begin to reach 4k-7k words apiece, so bear with me. This is the first time I've told this story and I'm doing it as best I can remember.
