Ask Crinkly Belle

[Mod] Apologies, and reboot

Hello everybody! This message is a bit special, and a bit sad. But I think I should explain why the blog is so slow, and why there are no update posted even though one has been almost ready for months.

Truth is? I (Zalakir, The dude drawing for the blog) fucked up, and quite badly. Even if I asked for the help of someone else to write the blog, I think I haven’t been consulting him enough for it, and because I’m not a good writing (The story was rushed, badly written, incoherent) I failed and stuck myself in a crossroad with too many way to take, but none seemed good.

I’m sincerely sorry for this, and I ask you to forgive me for the long wait between each update. My help writing and I discussed about what would be good for the blog, and we’ve decided to reboot, giving him the control of writing, while I would draw for the blog.

So, for what will happen for the blog, we’re not sure yet. Are we still staying an ask blog? I don’t feel like it would work for what we want to do. Some questions were great, but, the blog being fetish oriented, we too often got saturated of questions only about the state of the diaper or the usage of them. We’ll think further about it, but rest assured that the writing is in good hands.

The end of the message is going to be written by the said writer, Thunderchaser22

Hello everyone! I’ve been helping Zalakir with this blog for quite some time now, some of you might know me from Discord others may not know me at all. I’d like to start with addressing the state of the story. I’ll be honest, Zal and I went into it with a vision but quickly got sidetracked (Read distracted) by the ask format. It was hard to write a coherent flowing narrative when you’re being asked questions. I’ll also criticize Zal for not letting me have more control of the narrative like we both originally planned, this was both our fault and I’m not going to blame him entirely.

We went into Crinkly Belle with this idea that it would be about Sweetie Belle growing up as an ABDL, now this is still largely the idea however we often found ourselves struggling. Events would transpire far too quickly and come out rushed, or we would write ourselves into a corner by introducing plot arcs far too soon. More often than not we would have discussions of where we would take the story after each plot arc ended, the problem was simple: How do we move the story forward if we finish each arc too soon?

An example of us moving the plot forward far too quickly was giving Sweetie Belle easy access to diapers almost immediately. It felt like at times we were projecting our own childhood desires onto the character, I think every ABDL knows that struggle. Another example of moving the plot forward too quickly was Rarity accepting Sweetie’s fetish almost instantly. There was no conflict, no struggle of Sweetie desperately wanting someone to understand. I think this is honestly what hurt us the most in the long run.

So that leads us to the next point, where do we go from here? Well simply put we start again from the very beginning and work up to conflict. Instead of rushing through each arc, we’ll work through them lovingly. We’ll build up character conflicts and struggles, really get into the mind of someone so young struggling to understand something so strange and difficult.

With all that being said I really hope you’ll continue to read the story, and we look forward to continuing it at our own pace!

With regards,

Thunderchaser22 and Zalakir
