DESCRIPTION
A downloadable collected version of my Lucky Star fan story
"Unlucky Stars" (which is non canon to my overall story)
with all story art embedded within.
I'm uploading these collected versions for ease of access for
fans of my work in case something ever goes awry with this
platform or myself. If you really enjoy the tale I recommend
downloading it.
Unlucky Stars is a one shot story that, while not meant to fit
into my Lucky Star canon, helped to snap me out of a writing
funk that I allowed myself to be under for years without putting
down a word. A simple punishment story that did a lot to get me
back to trying to create. ^_^

Story Foreword:
As I indicate above, this story is one I wouldn’t place
in my overall story’s continuity. It isn’t awful, but it isn’t great
either in my opinion. There’s a reason for that. After
Efforts and Results was complete I made a few more stories
here and there, but somewhere along the way, the spark died.
Maybe it was the pressure of working full time while attending
college full time as I began to advance to harder classes
(after much difficulty. I really feel you Tsukasa!), and giving
time and attention to my wife who I met in college. Though
I shared this side of myself with my significant other, the
fairy tale-like notion that she would suddenly embrace
it and hop right into the ABDL realm didn’t happen.
That was fine, but that paired with so much else led to me
becoming dispassionate about writing, community
driven or otherwise. Worse yet, the very sudden
passing of my father who I loved dearly threw me into a
deep depression. It would be about 5 years I think until
I picked up my pen again and even then I had to force
myself to do it, the words would no longer come flowing
out naturally and nearly ceaselessly like they did when
I was a kid. Each thought, each paragraph, every page,
was a great task to undertake. Still, given encouragement
by some friends I had made in the community like
Mistress Twilight and TamaeFTT, I sat back down in front
of the keyboard and began again, forcing myself to give
over to what I knew I cared for. For that reason I still look
back fondly on this short piece. Its ideas were largely all
used elsewhere in my overall story, but it represents to
me a beating of depression and loss of passion with
willpower (and plenty of support from others). It’s
something I became good at and I know can be done.
I did it here and would do so many more times in
my life since. Anyone reading this, know that you can too,
just make sure you don’t get caught cheating on your
school work like Konata was.
