Hi. Author here. I wanted to write a bit of an introduction before I get underway.

I’ve written quite a few fanfiction pieces, primarily around Prequel ( http://prequeladventure.com ). As such I created a Tumblr blog specifically for my various fanfiction works. I’ve done a series on Evil Quill-Weave, a rather good one on Dodger (a young Quill-Weave), and a few others. And yes, I can get a bit nsfw at times. But recently I started a new one that is actually NOT a fanfiction. It’s just fiction, and at the rate it’s going it may turn into a full blown novel – or at least a novelette.

For years now I’ve been following Prequel and the adventures of the Sad Cat, Katia Managan. I’ve bought the merchandise, frequent Kazerad’s streams and obviously am still enamored of the story. In that time I’ve met quite a few other fans and artists as well. I’ve dabbled a bit in art myself, but really just coloring other people’s work. But I’ve always liked writing. Yet only recently have I actually started writing fanfiction. I figure at this point in my life, if I don’t start soon it will be too late, so I’m going for it.

Well, recently (okay, like, last week…) I started playing a D&D game with some people on a Discord server and made up a character named Kreet. She’s a youngish (but adult) kobold cleric. I made up a bit of a backstory for her in my head, but then I started writing it down and it keeps growing on me!

At this point, it’s no longer a backstory – it’s a full blown STORY story – though incomplete of course. The official title is ‘The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold’. Which is itself an obfuscation of the fact that it is all prior to the events of the D&D campaign, and thus her life is not over yet. If she survives the campaign, who knows how long she’ll live? If she doesn’t… well, fiction is fluid. I reserve the right to revive her somehow!

I am not well versed in kobold lore, nor really even D&D. I’m becoming so though. Also, I really REALLY love illustrations and plan to commission some. I also may ‘borrow’ other artist’s work here (with attribution!) to help where appropriate.

When coming up with her physical description, I started with this adorable work by Chochi of a kobold named Pooit. I first came across it years ago and it’s stuck in my head ever since.

That is undoubtedly the inspiration for Kreet’s look. But there’s more. I also came across this one, and it also inspired me. SURPRISE! It’s ALSO by Chochi and it’s ALSO Pooit! I just liked it before finding out it was the same character by the same artist.

Madmanransom, who also plays in the D&D game, drew our characters and thus I have a ‘canon’ picture of Kreet too.

So that’s her. Kreet the Kobold. Because the story really isn’t fanfiction, I felt it deserved it’s own blog – this one. Alas, kreet.tumblr.com was taken, so I had to expand it to kreetthekobold.tumblr.com instead.

I’ll probably play around with the template somewhat over time to make it more readable, and I may well insert some images as I come across them. Though I plan to keep the story mostly SFW, it is a coming-of-age story so there will be some risque passages eventually. Not porn mind you, but adulthood carries with it some implications that are inevitable. Good news is, I typically write at least relatively comfy stories and definitely tend towards happy  endings. Plus, you know whatever happens, Kreet will at least survive up to the D&D campaign she’s in!

Thanks for reading. Now on to The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold.
