Well... the Buy Me A Coffee is up for those who were looking for it.

I'm working on things. If you're interested in what's going on in a mild sense, I've got a roadmap of my intended work and things going on uploaded on the buy me a coffee page.
Thank you all for the support and kind words, I'm trying to get back into things.
Hello author-san (I don't know what to call you since I've seen other people call you Loki-Roki-san, and I became a reader when your account was still named Snappycockatiel, and now it's Amaris). I've always wanted to leave a review but I always get cold get when the time comes (￣ヘ￣;). I just wanted to tell you that you are a very amazing author and I absolutely love your stories, especially Marionette. Your writing is so unique, so much that I physically felt possibly every emotion Amaya displayed throughout the whole story. I felt for her, so much that I wish I can just go to that universe and hug Amaya so tight that all her problems go away.
I like how you made Karma so human, with very real flaws. I've seen countless fanfics that make him out to be the perfect make lead, attractive, super smart, likes to tease, has a bad boy attitude and a mean streak, but actually the perfect boyfriend you could ever have. Which is very wrong because I personally think he would be a bad romantic partner unless he sobers up and starts treating people right. And you made him exactly how he would have been. I love you so much for that. (Well, I say all this yet I'm still Karma's fangirl (๑•﹏•))
The other characters were perfect too. I absolutely love Amaya, Isogai, and Maehara's friendship, they're so adorable. I like how you let Maehara move on without making so much drama out of it. You didn't make him the cliche second male lead, and I absolutely appreciate that. I love that trio so bad (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
Ooo, agreeed! If you ever open up a patreon or anything like that, I’d love to contribute when I can
I also love the subtle things that Amaya observed that hinted at Koro-sensei's past (like how she noticed that Koro-sensei walked like a human), and how she figured out that Koro-sensei was a former assassin that was experimented on through her own deductive reasoning. Amaya is actually really smart and observant, whoever said she's a stupid muscle head clearly is an idiot.
On the last chapter, somebody commented that you should create a Patreon page, and that you should be compensated (I don't know if that was the right word) for your works. While I definitely agree with that, since you very much deserve it, I am just a poor student who can't afford to somehow compensate you for your stories. I still support you though, and I will continue to support you if you decide to publish your own work. I might not be able to buy one, but know that I'm cheering for you in my heart(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
Take your time updating your stories, real life can be tough. Please take care of yourself and best of luck to you.
With love,
A reader
Hello! I was wondering if you ever thought of turning Marionette into a physical book? I know it's influenced by AC, but I've been reading your book for so long and throughout so many stages of my life, that I've kind of grown attached. And I was thinking the other day that I would love to have it on my shelf. I know making an actual book is pretty complicated, but I was just wondering if that thought ever crossed your mind.
i made some amaya fanart and id love to show u it, but i dont really know where i could send it to you. do you have like, a public email or something or is there a platform i could dm you it?
@razaszu apologies for the late reply. You can get hold of me more successfully on my Instagram amarissluik but an email would be josiesluik@gmail.com
Heeeey everyone :) Just a casual post to let y'all know I've uploaded a little something that isn't in my main trio of books. If you're at all interested, you can find it here :)

It'd mean a lot if you could drop by, but as always, all good if you aren't up for it.
I'm going through and replying to comments today, so I apologize for any notification spam.
Additionally, I'm going to say that I haven't abandoned Opal Wings or Carnivore, I'm just putting most of my attention on Marionette at the moment as it's only got ten chapters left at absolute max, so I'm prioritizing our good old original Fic to try and finish it :) I hope y'all don't mind.
Anyways, all the best, guys~!

@SnappyCockatiel oh no!! tech problems are the worst :( no worries about the delay! its great that they can save the data at least!
@violetmaps well, sadly there is going to be a delay. My laptop died. Its currently in a computer shop in the next city (2 hours away) but because its an old laptop it might be cheaper to buy a replacement. But apparently they absolutely can get all my data off the laptop, its just, I might be without a laptop for a month
@SnappyCockatiel omgg 10 more chapters of marionette!!! so excited :o looking forward to what u have coming!! as someone whos following all 3 of those im happy with anything u decide to update hehe
hello! i just managed to catch up until the recently published chapter of the book marionette and it was such a ride. i love reading fanfictions of every animes i watched and your book is one of my favourites. it was so well-written and very refreshing because it was so realistic and not...sugar coated you can say, given the character's situation. i was not used to reading characters like amaya that is why i say it is very refreshing for me to read. i laughed and cried a lot, and overall, i reallyyy enjoyed it. i wrote this just to express how much i love your book so.. thank you for your hardwork and for making this masterpiece. i am looking forward to the future updates! take care♡
@SnappyCockatiel you deserve all those votes you've got and you're very welcome! i dont doubt that i'll enjoy the last few chapters left of marionette. have a good day<33
@bookwormroses Hello bookwormroses! I was watching your votes pour in as you were going through the chapters. I'm really glad to hear that you've enjoyed what I have submitted to date as much as you have. Honestly, that means a lot to me. It's nearly finished though, a handful of chapters left, so realistically you picked a good time to pick it up. In any case, I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters :) <3 Amaris
Hey guys, another random message, and sorry for being so flakey. Umm I just have a question I was hoping for some kind of answer on. Don't feel obligated to answer or anything but I was just wondering.
Is there such a thing as a blog / writing site that you can set so that only people with a password can get onto and read?
Basically, I miss wattpads original idea of letting a writer post a chapter that only a subscriber/follower could see, but ran some could not (I understand most of you might not have even realized such a thing used to exist). But a password required thing would be even better?
Basically yeah, there are things I really want to upload, but I hate wattpads way of forcing you to make everything viewable by any bot or harassing moron that makes an account, they can still see everything you post, but all YOU can do is mute them so you don't receive messages.
So... any ideas?
@SleepDeprivedIdiot oh? Well actually that kind of suits me because I don't want original pieces going anywhere unless I'm ready for them to grow past a hand full of people.
@SnappyCockatiel Ao3 has ways you can make what you post only available to users and the comments are easier to control. It also isn't necessarily fanworks exclusive. You can post works and have them tagged as "Original Works" or "No Fandom" the only downside to original works on Ao3 is that it usually doesn't get that much attention due to the sorting system.
@digibladelover Yeah, I've heard a little bit of that, too, but the downside to Ao3 is that it all has to be fanworks exclusive, and well, I actually do post anything, even if fanworks is my main area. I'd still have to find somewhere else for my original works too. Thank you, though :) I'll have to think a bit more on it.
Hey! Was trying to find your instagram but couldnt, do you still go by GloomspiteDuck?
Hey guys, me again.
Just posting here to let you all know that I'm making headway with trying to get things back in order for me. As a show that I really am working hard to get things done, I have here for you a small excerpt from Marionette's next chapter :) Just something to show that there is progress being made, and that I seem to be making at least a little headway in dealing with my writing block.
--------
Darkness falls from breaking skies, spanning in endless spectres of ceaseless black.
It drowned the glistening golds and beckoning blues, encircling and entrapping her within its clutches.
She missed the world where his warmth embraced the uncertainty encroaching on her horizons, splintering the doubts and lifting her spirits. It’s hard to see where all of this began, and where the end collapsed.
Her heart was a hollow moon in darkened skies, spinning listless in an empty expanse.
How Amaya wished that she never listened to herself.
Figures blurred into endless black, encircling her every measured step. It was like this every time she descended through spiralling torment.
What could she say?
What could she do to reach the end?
What was there left for her to breach the void?
A fictious escape, permeated by shallow rancor; One she would never follow had she a say in the matter?
Perhaps so.
It felt like the walls were slowly closing in and the skies above were holding every flawed facet of her soul against her.
--------
Anyways, umm yeah, I'm trying to get things back in order. (Recapping last announcement that didn't send at all...) I'm going to try and get to everyone's comments and replies on all the books / pages etc after so long of being gone, but it will take a while.
I hopefully will have things to upload in a few weeks.
But anyways, I hope you're all doing well, and I'll be doing my best to get back on track with, well.... everything I guess.
Thanks for sticking by me for so long. I really, REALLY appreciate it.

Welcome back! I’m so happy to hear from you and I wish you lots of good vibes on getting back to feeling better! We missed you!!
Hey everyone. Sorry I've been gone so long...
I've posted a rough journal in the back of Satellites and Constellations for those curious, but otherwise... well, I'm alive and alright. I haven't abandoned things, I just ... haven't been here mentally...
Anyways, I haven't forgotten the books... I'll get onto those as soon as I can find the ability to actually write.
Sorry I couldn't just post here and say "yeah, chapters for everything in the next hour".
I'm trying, honest.
I just got completely caught up on marionette a few days ago and saw that it hadn’t been updated in a while but I read it on my laptop where I didn’t have my login stuff and I recently deleted my Instagram so I couldn’t message you to see if you were okay. I’m really sorry you’re going through a bad spot and I wish you nothing but the best. Take your time and I sincerely hope you feel better soon xx
It’s alright, concentrate on yourself! Take as much time as you need, we’ll still be here when you’re ready to come back.
