Slowly, I shook my head. The last thing I was planning on doing was leaving Gabriel behind. Going anywhere within the outskirts without him was not an option and as the young woman before me looked at me with hungry eyes, I knew that I couldn’t let myself be pulled away. Taking a st...

Hey everyone,
I'm getting close to the time that I start getting Paper Lanterns out there for a release and not just a community IF. Which format would you guys like to see it in? A linear story (the more canon version) or a playable IF (a bit more on rails since it has to fit with Night Ma...

Also, if you wish to discuss anything this chapter, head on over to discord. There is a private channel there. Do ...

Paper Moons is going to be delayed a week. Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary and I have been spending the work time I do have right now, getting the rest of the Night Market completely finished. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I will resume it the following Monday.

Blood splattered across the floor in one long streak, a scream falling short in a wet cough. Belladonna tipped her head to the side, a bit of a frown marring her crimson lips. You couldn’t see t...

The blade slashed through the creature, spraying rotted flesh across the white marble floor in a dark brown smear. It died with a wet scream that was cut short by the edge of the celestial blade. Gabrie...

As the characters all get to know each other, I'm realizing I'm starting to do a lot of shorts that involve the RO interacting with each other. This is a bit of a shift from the ones I wrote when the Night Market first came out.
Which do you guys prefer?

The monthly shorts are now going to start including Malcolm. But, given this chapter and how it ended, do you guys want a Malcolm short all on its own, or one that combines Hazel and him?
The one all on its own would probably be an internal monologue of what he thinks might be going o...

The alpha build for Paper Moons is all up to date. Thank you for sticking with me during the craziness of the holidays. I'm hoping to at some point this month get some more graphics and sidebars in there to make it look a bit prettier.
Access code is still going to be DecPaperBaron due to s...

I stuck close to Gabriel, knowing just how precarious this situation could become. The heat from below was nearly sweltering, causing my blouse to stick to the back of my neck and my hair to become lank. No one was supposed to be living in the outlands. This was the place where the ex...

Just want to clear a few things up as we get to the end of the story. There will be 12 chapters to this game. I will still be keeping to my month to month schedule so the last chapter should be released early March. From there, I will be keeping the wip up, but will be taking a ...

Here he is, a bit shirtless here. Just unwinding from work.
To see him further unwind, go to the NSFW version at the Velvet Guard tier.
