Comm. Status / Padding Up For 2023

Hamha:
Here’s what’s new in story commissions and all things dino-duckling!

CURRENT STORY COMMISSIONS:
1:
littlebeararnold - Updating Parts 3 & 4.
2: Anonymous – Initial revision in progress.

5: -- Open --
THOUGHTS FROM THE CHANGING TABLE:
I have to wonder if being placed upon a changing table could be seen as a ‘Little’ / ‘Baby Fur’ equivalent of being in a therapist’s office, or a confessional at church?
Hmm… I may need to explore this idea further. Especially given my strong belief in helping one’s self to better help others to be both emotionally and physically well…
***
Everything, with the exception of getting a prosthetic, is doing great since the removal of my left eye. I don’t even notice it gone and, although it is only a temporary placeholder, my left eye feels as if I already have a true ‘false eye’ placed upon it.
The above said, I am working with my partner, Lucca, to make 2023 a year dedicated completely to being focused on my ‘Can Dos’ instead of those things I once, or never could, do.
***
Here’s what I am aiming to direct my attention to before and throughout 2023…
1: Work with Lucca to compile and upload relevant stories that I’ve posted on ‘Fur Affinity’ and ‘FiM Fiction’ over to ‘AO3’ to increase exposure to my written works.
2: Review, revise, and complete my non-Haposaur, original story, [i]Project: Ezil. This is a story I started in late 2004, outlined in 2005, began writing in 2006, and ceased making any progress after 2009. It is the tale of a teenage fox, Bo Foxtrot, who struggles with her visual limitations until fate guides her to see otherwise. (My inability to continue the story after losing more-and-more eyesight until I had none made this hard to get back to. I could rewrite it to focus on a character who is 100% blind, but that would ruin how, as my biggest fan of the series, Nishi, could tell you, the story has always been meant as a very loose autobiography of my actual life. The story of [i]Twinkle Morningdew, which was inspired by Meredith Simms & SFS animation, Snowdrop, does a fine job of sharing the “Born blind and misunderstood” tale of a child who only needs one person to believe in themselves to be amazing.[/i]).
3: Start to save money so that Lucca and I can make more touch-ups on this house that, unfortunately, needs a lot more love in order to truly make it a home.
4: Continue to work on the cartoon series, based upon
paddedartist and :iconpaddedmeezoo, Adventures In Sunnybrook park. (Basically a ‘Tiny Toon Adventures’ and ‘Animaniacs’ inspired series of stories that are loaded to the max with comic mischief and, of course, diapers.[/i]).
5: Develop and/or complete the two projects I have been talking out with my son, Peep, about since 2016. The first being a parody / clone of The Binding of Isaac. The second is the ‘Metroid’ fan story that I’ve promised my soon-to-be sixteen year old rooster that I’d make for him. The title of the ‘Metroid’ story-game is, Metroid: Cryos Elektra while the BoI story-game has no real working title that goes beyond a joke that was played on one of Peep’s cousins in 2016.
6: Further develop the OC that Lucca helped me to feel super-happy and extra chirpy with. This, of course, being Celeste Nuthatch. (She has cameoed in most of my commission stories, but does have a lot more depth to her beyond being a guest appearance.).
7: Continue to complete commission stories to bring in income to help offset debts brought on by too many bothersome things that I’ve had little, to no, control over.
8: FINALLY, without any long gaps of seeming like a ghost, reading and commenting on the works of friends and those to whom have inspired me that still make new stories and art to this day.

That’s all for now. Here’s to a happy holiday season ahead!

As I reply to you, the region where my left eye had once occupied feels as if no surgical action had ever been done to it. This makes me very confident in being able to get the prosthetic eye made once the doctor who performed the surgery verifies that the swelling has gone down enough to allow for propers measurements to make a false eye that will last for many years to come. :)
***
When I went into the hospital for the surgery, I made certain to bring my Snowdrop plushie with me. Snowdrop is the star of the fan animation, Snowdrop, which was released by Silly Filly Studios back in March of 2013. (It is so hard to believe this animation that helped me accept I would become totally blind is almost 10 years old!).
When the time came to move me into the Operating Room to do my final eye surgery ever, I did all I could to keep her comfortably cuddled against me while remaining hidden enough to ensure she was with me in the OR. They did not notice her until they started to administer the anesthesia and were kind enough to allow me to hold her until I blacked out so the doctor could do what he needed to do for me.
***
What is funny about my surgery is how, as the doctor went about removing the eye, some nurses and staff kept saying how fortunate I was to still have a working, right eye. This goes to show how good of a job the artist who made my prosthetic in 2019 did after my right eye had to be removed. The doctor said he had to, kindly, let people know that what they saw in my right eye was a work of art and not an actual eyeball. I also learned the unique complexity of my procedure brought curious onlookers to come by the Operating Room to see just how the doctor was able to safely remove an eye that had been so damaged from surgeries and the Glaucoma that I was born with.
***
Before, along with during, the surgery, my Seeing Eye Dog made lots of friends with the hospital staff. By the time they were ready to take me into the OR, he had nurses asking if they could borrow him to cuddle. They also brought him a dish of water that they wrote his name, Buddy, on that included an image of a heart. :)
***
I am really looking forward to what 2023 will bring to all of us. I know you have made a lot of progress towards finding a good job that is, hopefully, still going well. I look forward to working alongside my partner / caretaker, Lucca, to do more writing with a strong emphasis on Adventures In Sunnybrook Park and my long put off story about living life with low vision, Project: Ezil. I also am eager to write more stories based on your existing art and those submissions you have made over the past month along with those forthcoming in 2023. :)

May you have a wonderful day, Sweetie! Stay warmhearted, cuddly, and padded as our beloved 'Padded Princess of the Foals'!
It sounds that the surgery had its positive points despite how hard it could be. I'm really glad that you could share a nice moment with your plush before it. I guess you also could hug Dropy afterwards and feel some relaxation from that.
Oh yes, the year that is about to begin seems to have lots of nice things for me, or at least I'm believing on that so strong. I passed the teacher's contests, which means that no matter my final position or the number of available workplaces, I'll receive an offer of a workplace sooner or later. When the contest is finished, the lists of winners are used to recruit new teachers when required and a new contest is not started until the last participant of the list receives an offer to fill a workplace. So, yeah, I only need to wait and sooner than later I'll be able to get a position, the only couple of questions are when and where, but we'll know that on a few months.
Also, I have another small surprise that I'm planning to share really soon. You may find it interesting hehe
I hope you have a nice week Yosh. I can wait to read more about you, probably on one of our nice private messages. Thanks for answering my comment and for being in there.

I hope to get to starting notes again by next week. Until then, I wish you a Happy New Years' and look forward to all the fun and opportunity you will be able to share in the coming year.
Project:Ezil eh? Out of curiousity, what genre is it?
No rush on catching up, you'll get it all squared away. :)
***
Project: Ezil is a Sci-Fi Fantasy story that helps in explaining a Slice-of-Life of someone with a disability who is doing all they can to feel wanted by the world around her. It is written in 1 to 3 page chapters to make the overall story more digestible by readers who may not have time, or patience, to read too much at a single time.
***
Hopefully you had a Happy Hanukah and looking forward to a good 2023! :)
I hope wrapping up your commissions and getting new ones go well! I feel bad for being so detailed with the last one I got. But if you need a slot filled I’ll be a lot more loose this time. :3
***
I'm hoping to keep Project: Ezil as close to its original concept / outline as possible. It was always supposed to present a reader with a Sci-Fi Fantasy twist to what it is like to have a condition that makes you feel so close, but yet so far away from being able to fit in. I remember much of the initial 35 chapters I wrote and, with luck, should be able to get Lucca's help in making it all fun to read as possible. :)

Thanks so much for all your kindness and support, oxnard. *Snugs* You've always been great at giving me the wings to fly beyond my self-imposed expectations. FLA-MING GO!
