My new web novel series Settling Down with the Dark Lord is out now! It's on Mimtory to start as I'm entering their web novel contest, but if I don't win it'll end up on here soon enough!
https://mimtory.com/novels/prj_Yw2v8jX7
Derby Ofohp is living a normal life of a shut-in until a giant portal opens on her lawn and she runs into a dark lord. Brie de Meaux is a spoiled warrior princess from another dimension who is immediately infatuated with Derby. What will a girl who'd rather be home playing games do when a dark lord proposes to her? Or when 3-5 other dark lords are in the mix? Find out in this yuri polycule comedy series!
This yuri polycule comedy story (I can't ever just pick one genre huh) is set in the Rising Shards universe, but it won't be required reading for RS and RS won't be required for it! It was inspired by series like Bocchi the Rock, Watanare, Rock is a Lady's Modesty, Witch Watch, and lots more (maybe they'll form a band later since it was inspired by so many band stories?)! I hope you check it out and enjoy!

Today marks Rising Shards' FIFTH ANNIVERSARY! To celebrate, there is a special chapter today that I hope is a treat for longtime readers and a great jumping on point for new ones. If you wanna check it out, follow this link or go to "A Wildfire Heart in Perdition" (66.1), the latest chapter.

Working on this series has been one of my favorite things I've ever done and I'm so grateful to be able to keep it going for this long and still have fun with it. Thank you as always to Flopicas for taking all my commissions and bringing the characters to life, I don't think I'd have any readers without your art. I'm so grateful to my incredible readers who make this so much fun. And if you're a new reader or a longterm one or even someone who just glances the series when it updates, thank you!
Also to celebrate, there is also a new cover and banner for the series! There are so many characters in Rising Shards that I wanted more on the cover than I had before. It's more than a bit busier now so I might switch back and forth between the new cover and the original, but at least for this anniversary I want the cover with pretty much everyone on it!

This coming Monday (9.15) there will be a special chapter to celebrate Rising Shards' fifth anniversary that kicks off a new story arc! The ongoing stories won't be dropped or anything, but a new element will be added to the mix. I hope you stop by and enjoy!
As I've said before, my hope is that this will be something that's an exciting treat for longtime readers, and a good jumping on point for new ones. I'm INCREDIBLY nervous about it and am not sure if I can actually get anyone new on board for the whole jumping on part, especially after a year of struggles and difficulties with the goals I'd set for myself that have me feeling very low.
The writing still brings good vibes to me at least, so even if this is a complete belly flop into an empty pool, you'll still have more fun, fluff, angst, and more with these characters who I've grown to love so dearly.

Rising Shards' fifth anniversary is one week away! Check the series out for a special chapter next Monday, 9.15! New readers can join in too as this arc will be a reward for long time fans and a nice jumping on point for new readers!
Hi there!! Thanks for subscribing! I hope you like the story!
Happy Yuri Day!! Yuri is my favorite to read and to write and I want to write lots and lots and lots more yuri 🥰
Happy Pride Month!!! I hope everyone has a fun and safe month.
I hope my writing can be a queer safe haven of fluffy, comfy, silly, and romantic stories (sometimes dramatic and action packed too of course!).
You're welcome here with me no matter what.

Thank you so much to everyone who checked out Reborn in a Fighting Game with My Rival!
If you're like me and are feeling bittersweet about the end of this leg of the journey, please check out a side series for Reborn, focusing on Inksgiving extras to start! My hope is this will be the hub for stories for the dragon gorlies while I work on the sequel/second season/continuation. So while today's a goodbye, it's just a goodbye for now!

It's the last week of Reborn S1 and I'm getting kinda very emotional about it...so to help cope with that here's an update on my current projects. I talked about these a bit on my blog but my blog's kind of a mess so maybe it'd be better here.
Chiral's ongoing/upcoming projects (4.28.25 edition):
Rising Shards: Of course, my long running web novel is still going. It's going to be the FIFTH anniversary this September and I am planning a major episode for it (not like a scary one but something big to celebrate). I'm really really excited how this year's episodes are turning out and have lots more yuri with the Cani girlies for ya.
Reborn in a Fighting Game With My Rival continuation: First up, look forward to Inksgiving bonus chapters coming soon, I will likely put them in a series called "Reborn in a Fighting Game With My Rival Extras" or something similar. Past that, it is a very big goal for me to have some kind of sequel or second season. I'm not sure what form it would come in like if it's just gonna be within the series that's already up or in its own thing (it might be kinda cool to have RB be the series that gets individual entries for each instead of one big ongoing canvas of stories like RS). It's very very early on but I have a general tone, some crazy ideas, and a bit written for a sequel of our beloved dragon gorlies.
Collab Project: This project has been in the works for a while and I can't wait to show it off. A comic I'm working on with my bestie that's more action oriented but still incredibly queer! I'm not sure how we'll release it but that will potentially be on here :)
Project FS/SDWTDL/GEN: This is gonna be (hopefully) my entry in this summer/fall's Tapas web novel contest. I've posted about it on my blog and my Patreon, but it's gonna be something very different from my other stuff, purposefully so to challenge myself and try writing in different voices and tones and such to grow as a writer.

Reminder to check your inboxes if you entered my book giveaway! :) I think if you're a mobile only user of Tapas it doesn't notify you if you have a private message (I think??) so you may have to check the desktop version to see if you've won a prize!
