[Updates & Future Plans] THANK YOU & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
3 years ago
Hello, everyone! I'm sorry for being all quiet ever since October as things were going all over the place as we got up to Christmas and all that. Basically, I got lazy, felt down and got sick before recovering and picking myself up again. But as the year 2021 has now come to an end with the year 2022 now apporaching, I would like to thank all of you for being supportive and welcoming here, as well as taking the time to read through my stories and favouriting them as I do like writing some transformation-based stories and some other fun things. I know that any forms of writing and/or literature here won't gain as much traction as some artwork would, but I will not let that discourage me from writing as I would like to take my time to upload some decently-made stories, as well as not rushing myself to create them. After all, art takes time and so does stories, you know!
In this journal, I'll be clarifying over some things that happened in the past, as well as what I'm going to be doing for the future.
My 3-Month Hiatus - Where Did I Go?
I know that I dipped during the last 3 months, and I'm sorry for that. If you're wondering what happened during that time, it's nothing serious, extreme or personal. What happened was that I often ended up feeling sad and discouraged as I see my friends and other people gain some friends, responses and even some things like artwork while I'm trying my best not to get caught up in these sorts of things. I guess I'm a bit jealous in a way of seeing some artwork with their characters as I often go like: "Aww, I wish I could have something like that", but I would never go out of my way to cause any form of trouble or issues with anyone. As a result, I basically gave myself a break away from it as I distracted myself with a lot of games and a few movies, which is quite beneficial for me as I can regain my energy and refill my gooey imagination tanks with some ideas of what I would like to write. But alas, I guess I got way too distracted with it, and I ended up neglecting myself on writing some stories. Whoops!
As with the whole thing about the Horrortober Story YCH that I announced back in October, it was quite a bit of a ride as it was my first time experimenting with something that's probably unique as I thought that doing a story with a randomised transformation trigger would help to make things more interesting rather than going by a default "get transformed into this [character] in this [transformation process]" approach towards the story! I'm still happy with the idea, and I'm still happy that it was able to gain just enough traction to gather enough interest as it was going to be called off when I had Jess only join in before Elliekitty, Coda and Regi came in with the latter two users being informed about my YCH story by Ellie himself. I cannot be any more thankful than that as I truly appreciate the support that I get from all of you, even if it means just simply reading through one of my stories! Thank you!
Horrortober Story YCH - What Happened?
In short: The story is being written, even though it's been a few months already.
Ever since I announced the story YCH in October, I needed to flick through 3 different platforms - Discord, Telegram and Twitter - as I was talking to Jess on Discord, Elliekitty and Coda on Telegram, and Regi on Twitter, which I'll admit that it was quite a juggle as I needed to briefly talk to them about how the story YCH would work, their transformation preferences, their characters and their ideal scenario that's been voted by them altogether. Thankfully, we all managed to migrate over on Discord where I set up a group chat with everyone before recapping and clarifying anything before they voted for their scenario, as well as getting their payments in late November. I know that it's already past Halloween and all, but I do want to make sure that I can write a successful story YCH like how I did for my Sinktember story YCH as it's quite nerve-wracking, yet also a fun thing to do!
Future Plans - What I'm Planning To Do
I do have a few things that I would like to do around here, such as:
- Creating a Discord server - I figured that having some virtual space online on Discord would be a great way for us to communicate with one another as FurAffinity's communication system such as their notes and comments can be a bit... delayed, to say the least. Not to mention that I constantly use Discord all the time as it's already open and available for me to use on my phone and computer, which is another reason why I always prefer to use Discord than any other messaging platform. Telegram is also a good alternative, but I don't seem to talk with anyone there, nor that I have it open on my computer all the time.
- Streaming - You may or may not know this, but I did stream on Twitch with some games such as Tetris Effect, A Hat In Time, Trials of Mana, and also Bug Fables. Of course, I kinda went into hiberation with that, but I might as well get back into doing that again. I'm not sure what would the best way for me to notify you here as I don't really want to make some journals or upload some low-quaility images in a form of a submission (I'm not really good at art), risking myself that I would be seen as spamming when I have no intention of doing that. I'll be open for some suggestions for a good way for me to notify you.
- Tidying up my queues - I really need to clear my queues up for my stories, mainly for the trades as it's nice to meet up some other people and discuss some nice ideas, but it's not nice when I look back at my queue of trades slowly piling up. And no, I haven't received any completed artwork as I told them that I need to handle my other trades first before I do theirs. So, expect some more stories being uploaded on here with some artwork soon!
Final Thoughts
It's been quite a lot of time since I've been here, and I want to thank you all for being here to watch, read and favourite my stories and coming into contact with me as I really love every small bit of contact with all of you! I may have dipped in terms of my story writing, but I'm going to regain my footing and commit myself to do some more writing on this day onwards! Thank you all for being here!
Many Thanks
