I refer to that as the “Drow Ego Wall”

Well folks, it’s finally over. Shooting of the DISCONNECTED story has finally wrapped! I ended up with 132 GB of data, 4433 files, organized in 107 folders. Wow! That’s about 19% of the total files in my doll folder and 23% of the total data (photo sizes on my first camera were smaller than now which causes that difference). In one project. Done in 2.5 months (folder and outline document created 08/20/25, shooting finished last weekend and final choosing of photos completed last night, 11/04/25).
Side note, at about that time is when I went on ADHD meds for the first time. I think they work.
Of course, the efforts continue. I still have to edit the photos (I’m only 3 parts ahead at the moment) and format the writing (I do this nightly when I post, adding the text color and such as I do).
Oh, and the Epilogue isn’t done. It’s mostly written at this point but I’m waiting and putting some more thought into it. It’s going to tie up some loose ends as well as set the stage for some other stories I’ll be exploring in the future. I plan to leave that to the end of the month because hey, there’s still another 42 parts to post before I need to have that ready!
You know what? Let’s put the call out to you guys. Aside from Seraphina, who’s story would you be most interested in seeing more of in the future currently? This could be learning more about their backstory or advancing the story they already have going on. I make no guarantees but I might be able to put priority on certain things. Ultimately, if I can do it and be having fun then there’s a good chance I can accommodate!

She is! I’m glad I finally got to introduce her. She’s been loitering around for months ready to go and I almost ran out of summer to go shoot her photos in! You’ll see more of her and learn more about her during this story arc. I do want to get her back to the Badlands for another shoot next summer. I don’t know what yet, I just know that I had a lot of fun on the last shoot.

Did you actually fiddle their fingers to make these shadows work???
If so, major kudos!

100%! I actually entered that photo in an offsite contest which follows similar rules as the ones here so I couldn’t edit the photo in any major way. There’s some color and light adjustments to the photo but no light or shadow was edited in or out to make this. It definitely took some fiddling to make it work, but work it did!

I haven’t had much opportunity to document it, but Arachne and Seraphina have been getting along well since we last checked in on them.
I did have a little surprise for Seraphina the other day…
Her SEDOLL necklace arrived! I was surprised when there wasn’t one with her when she arrived.
It’s some nice little bling for her! And oh, I love taking closeup photos of her. It’s so hard to capture her freckles well and I love them so much!
I got a care package from SEDoll. I was expecting a wig, they also sent an extra one. The necklace, of course, and I’d requested some glue to fix up a couple imperfections. Nothing major, but I’m glad I was able to fix them now before they potentially became bigger problems in the future. Thank you, SEDoll!
On Monday she got another surprise, a much larger box!
Shein has been taking my money again… Seraphina now has a few more outfits, including what will likely be her first story outfit! I don’t have anything written yet but I hope it may start early in the new year (the current DISCONNECTED story will take us into mid December and I don’t think I’ll be doing any major story stuff through the holidays).
While we’re building some hype for things to come, how about a sneak peak of something else in the pipeline? Queen Ariana has been around for some time, I think her first photo was either at Arachne’s second birthday or perhaps shortly before. At the party she was dressed in the most basic iteration of her outfit, a rectangle with a hole to poke her head through. This material is a pain to work with, but the end result is getting very good. I still have a long way to go before she’s finished but she’ll probably be joining the story some time in the new year as well.
