Update Diary: Hell/Dolls (August 19th, 2025)

Good evening, everyone!  I’m a little late, but I’m here!!

As always, here is the status of the story before my usual rant.

Current Chapter: 11 (Science and Obsession)

Pages: 231

Word Count: 73,764

I have switched my writing system a little bit, so the difference in pages is due to a different font and a larger size.  Chapter 10 is still in the 5000-8000 word range, and most of the chapters haven’t changed too much despite the huge page jump.

On the other hand, I have been writing almost every day (yay, me!), and the word count reflects that, I feel.  The next few chapters have a VERY rough outline, but I’m pretty confident it is heading in the direction I want it to.

I also realized that after my last post, the chapters on Wattpad were put into Draft form, not Published.  I have since corrected that, so Hell/Dolls can be read now on Wattpad.  If you search my name (@MarcosiasIsif) or the tags “hell” and “dolls”, you should find it.

ALSO also, I realized that AO3 is a fanfiction site, while Hell/Dolls is just… fiction.  So, the story will not be released there.  I am still weighing the possibility of posting it on FictionPress (even with the limitations for future chapters), but I think for now this blog and Wattpad will be my sole release platforms, at least until I look at other possible sites.

Regarding the story releasing, I think the next two chapters will release upon the completion of the next chapter (Chapter 12, for those keeping track).  I don’t want to have set dates for releasing this story, since this is more of a passion project right now, and deadlines stress me out.  I will try to release the next part before the end of the year, and given how much I’ve been writing lately, I don’t think that’s too much of a stretch.

I’ll do a life update soon, since a lot of things are going on right now.  Nothing too terrible, yet.  Just a lot of stuff.

Thanks for reading!
