A short hiatus
4 years ago
Thoughts, and various mad ramblings. I'm normally not one to voice things so publicly and I certainly don't post journals very often but for anyone who might've wondered where the usual weekend episode is, here's your update. I'm taking a very short (few weeks) hiatus for a variety of reasons...
1) I've been trying to relocate from Michigan to Texas, but it's been a chore. Now, things are taking a turn. I have a good job as a short haul trucker - aside from a paycheck, it gives me time to write - but with vaccine mandates looming, I've been thinking about going into business for myself. Before anyone gets all tribal politics on me, I have both medical and religious reasons for not wanting it. Also, I'm all about the personal liberty, and for me it's "liberty>safety/security" every day of the week. When "the man" tells me I HAVE to do it or else, my response is a loud "fuck that!" If my job should fire me over it (though they've yet to even say anything, I always try to plan ahead), I've been working out ways to be a self-made man. That, understandably, keeps me busy as hell, fretting over the future, etc.
2) Due to the stress of said fretting, I haven't actually finished any new episodes, and I'm fresh out of padding to throw at you. ^^' When I am working on story stuff, I'm mostly building up this new world, which I mentioned in a previous journal (https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10018471/). As a result, I've actually done quite a bit with that universe, and it's mainly because working on new things is very relaxing and helps take my mind off of stressful things.
Since I don't want this to be a downer post, here's some details to wet your appetite. The new world is called "Morveria", and there will be two types of stories to flesh it out. The first is "Tales of Morveria", a folder containing and anthology of stories from various time periods in the world. There is a three-part introductory mini-series that's almost done, and it follows up on my concept tester 'What Lies Ahead' (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/44195342/). I'll make a folder for it and post the whole thing in its entirety whenever I get to finishing part 3. The second type of stories are merely a collection of hardcore erotica, because why not? My literary porn has always been the most well-received of my work, unfortunately...
Morveria is a stand-alone universe with a pangea landmass (though more may follow as time passes), and while it starts as a bronze age world with hints of fantasy, using a Greek/Babylonian hybrid aesthetic, it's going to evolve into a true Science-Fantasy universe with an aesthetic that will feel very "Strife" or "Hexen" (90s video games that I love to death), mixed in with some of my favorite ancient cultures. I have 2 short series (about a dozen episodes) which will take place at varying times, and I'm brainstorming the plots for them. Morveria will be my "just for fun" project, as once I'm done with The AdvAnTAGE Project, I intend to go back and finish both Unity and In The Mist Of The Erie Isles, in that order.
There! Now you're all caught up! See you in a few weeks. :3
