BLOG UPDATE - A taste of the future...
BLOG UPDATE - AUGUST 2020.
Model: Alix Lynx - Brazzer.com
Hi everyone. This isn't a story - it's a personal blog update, so if you're just here for the porn and erotica then you may wish to skip this. I've hopefully lured you in with my picture of Alix Lynx who is my spirit porn-star, (whom I absolutely adore cos she's amazing!) but if you wanna skip this feel free.
Anyway, I thought I'd write a quick blog post to talk about a few things. Firstly to say that after the slight drama of April/May (when I totally lost the plot due to my mental state during COVID-19) I'm feeling completely back to normal and thanks to everyone who supported me during that time. I know for a fact I managed to piss off some-people with my actions, but I'd like to publicly say a big thank-you to the majority of people who were amazing and supportive whilst I was having a bit of a wobble (particularly my online friends.) I did everything in my power to put things right and if there is still anyone in the community annoyed at me - fine, you'll just have to be pissed off. In the meantime, I'm going to keep doing what I do, and continue to put my heart and evil soul into writing slutty captions and stories for everyone to enjoy. (Completely for free I may add. My experiment with paid for work has shown me I can't handle the pressure and wanna be a free-bird doing this just for fun... even if it does sometimes feel like having another job.)
Anyway, I don't wanna go into it for much longer, and this will be my final words on the topic. I'm not gonna over-analyse what happened to me, as lockdown was a tough period for everyone and there are people far worse off than me who had even worse issues, so I don't want to pity-post here. All I want to say is that for someone with major kinks and too much time on their hands in a pressure-cooker situation at home, it was very easy to fall into a rabbit hole of porn, self-obsession and mania that led to some poor decisions on my part. I got swept away on a wave of enthusiasm that quickly led to self-hate and I've learned a lot about myself and how to self-care and regulate much better. Thanks to all those who showed love...
Anyway - onto the future. I just want to share with everyone that I've begun thinking about how to proceed with my blog as we move forward. Many of you will have been following me for years and you'll know that I have big bursts of energy, creativity and productivity where I get loads written and done - before lapsing into long periods of inactivity. For that reason, I've decided, (and this is backed up by my blog metrics and the response to Amiee and I's Magic-Nails story,) that from now on, I'm going to try and stick to releasing just one story a week. I'll also continue to comment, tweet and write mini-caps on Twitter (as they're easy to do) but I want there to be a piece of quality short-form story content per week.
Why? Well, there are a couple of reasons:
1. A release per week means you always have something to look forward to. Whilst I'm sure you all love to binge when I drop 4 stories in the space of a few hours - a slower release is better because it means each story gets the attention it deserves and it will keep you all coming back week, after week. As I do this entirely for free - I live and breathe the comments you leave here (YES I READ THEM ALL, even if I don't always reply) and it annoys me when I drop 3 stories in a short space and one of them gets forgotten about because I wrote something better an hour later.
2. The quality of Magic Nails was really high, partially through working with Amiee and having her input- but also because not releasing it as soon as a chapter was done (like I normally would.) This meant you got the whole story at once and I had time to check it all and make it better. Also I wasn't rushing as much so I took time to fully develop all areas of the story.
3. Long time followers will know I'm famous for starting a series and then just not completing it. By staggering releases, I'm now only going to release completed stories. No more episodic content that isn't completed - instead full stories will get released, whilst I continue to work on the unfinished.
4. When I hit a rough patch where I'm too busy, tired or disinterested to write - I'll hopefully have a bank of stories to drop so that you never notice the decline in my writing output.
In order to get to a position where I can do this, I need to store up some stories and my job this week is just to try and write so I have some saved up ready to start dropping. I could of course cheat and interspace my new stuff with my old - but since I now have an archive blog and I'm determined that everything you read here is fresh, I don't think I'm gonna do that.
My current plan is to release something every Friday so you have something to enjoy at the weekend. Whether I hit that target this Friday remains to be seen, but I'm hoping to and then from that point have enough banked that I can start to do one every Friday.
Friday's are gonna be Hydeday's from now on!
So there are some of my thoughts. I've been feeling really positive in the last few weeks, mainly as there is now a more than ever thriving community on Twitter and on my Discord server that I am proud to be a part of. If you don't already - be sure to follow me on Twitter for updates and sexy talk.

Ciao for now and let me know what you think about my plans,
Evie XXX
I’m ECSTATIC that there are going to be regular releases now. You’ve been my favorite TG writer by FAR for YEARS. Can you share any blogs, sites, etc that you enjoy following so that we have things to check out while waiting for your next release?
ReplyDeleteYeah - good idea. I've added a blog links list to the sidebar - enjoy seeing what my friends have been releasing. You can also find regular updates if you follow me on Twitter and follow the 'Caption Queens' list.
DeleteI love your F2F captions please do alot more F2F.
ReplyDeleteJust a request. Could you do a set of captions. Where a guy loves his girlfriends hot body, but his girlfriend is innocent.
The girlfriends sister is not as pretty but is wild. He offers to swap the slutty sisters personality into the innocent girlfriends body and he ends up getting the perfect girlfriend
People are always asking me to do more F2F - but if you look at my blog tags - there's like 80 M2F and 60 F2F so the ratio isn't that bad considering I've always been primarily interested in gender swapping.
DeleteI'll definintely write more at some point don't worry!
Evie you have been the finest writer in this genre that I have found, thank you for the gifts that you bestow upon your loyal following.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww, thanks - that means a lot!
DeleteWell I'm glad your back and that everything is going ok. It's been chaos for everyone and I'm happy that you rose above it
ReplyDeleteLol - it wasn't a smooth rise though..
DeleteI can relate. I had an extraordinarily bad reaction to the early days of lockdown and I consider it a miracle I didn't do anything worse than be something of a bother to my friends. You are in good company having had a bit of a crisis.
ReplyDeleteI've been following you since the Argus days and I've always enjoyed your works. Just as your writing as developed and evolved over the years so to has the manner in which I've enjoyed it - from a guilty pleasure I shamefully indulged in while assuring myself that it was a phase I would get over, to something I came to peace with but knew would be nothing more than something I enjoyed in the most private of private times, to a private (it is still porn after all) but important and affirmative part of my self care as I've slowly started to come out as a trans woman.
I don't know you personally nor you me, but in the same way as some authors and the like you've been there for me for a long while and I'm deeply grateful for your work. It's smut, of course, but it's smut that helped give breath to a part of me that everything in my life, including myself sometimes, was trying to smother. A part of me that I'm glad has survived. So thank you for doing what you're doing. <3
On a much, much lighter note: I really like your goth stuff (though I'm not a fan of smoking). You know, if you're taking requests. ;)
Hi Abigail. Thanks so much for telling me a bit about your story. If you've been following me since my Argus days, then you've been on the whole journey with me so far and I really appreciate that. Yes - it's smut, but cisgender people have plenty of porn to satisfy them, so I've always felt that even though a lot of what I write to plays to certain tropes - hopefully it provides an aspect of sexuality that deserves exploration online. If it has been of any level of satisfaction or help in your life (even if it's just brought you pleasure at a difficult time) then I'm so happy.
DeleteThanks so much for getting in touch,
Love Evie X
Your caps are a godsend and fun to read in quarantine so thank you for that, tour energy, your pride, and the fact that you do this for us. Its very much appreciated
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I try my hardest to please, but I really appreciate the feedback most of all.
Deleteumm, okay😁
ReplyDelete❤️❤️❤️

I too have been lurking on and off since I found the "TG Backburner" group.
I was disappointed when your empires of smut would mysteriously vanish without a trace. I am glad this time you said goodbye without hitting the detonator.
I observe the name changes, and can only guess if there are identity and/or spiritual factors involved.
I hate to think bringing pleasure to others was causing you personal turmoil. I'm so happy to hear you are learning more about yourself on this journey. That is what really matters. 💋
