I still get “will people like it” anxiety about my art & writing, but that’s pretty normal for creative work I think. The smut has little to do with it. Whatever art you make, being its biggest fan is important. Don’t be afraid to say, “You wanna see this thing I made, it’s amazing and I love it!”

Serious note: getting comfortable saying “Hi I’m Sylvie and I write monster smut” was a huge leap in letting go of shame that held me back my whole life.
Telling my family about my work was a terrifying hurdle, but it was like shedding a much too small skin and now I can finally move.

And lastly, if you’ve ever wanted the post-Fall harvest, pre- hibernation vibes of a bunch of infernal bears gorging themselves before Winter, then the sprawling city of Gluttony is for you.

Can’t make up your mind? Greed boasts all the seasons at once: hot nights, cold days, and flora that blooms in the morning and dies by nightfall.

Envy sits on the cusp, balanced on the last chills of winter with just enough warmth to grow grasping green vines that never flower.

Prefer Spring? Try the city of Lust, with its gardens in perpetual bloom, just mind the aphrodisiac flowers.

And for crisp Fall grandeur, none can beat the infernal kingdom of Pride. Gusty winds to waft your cape dramatically behind you as you look upon leaves that change color like fireworks.
