Crucial Update & Open Bar! <September 15th, 2023>
2 years ago
What does this button do?
Hello! Welcome to my Open Bar! I want to interact more with people and have a place where people can ask me questions and what not about my characters, commission/story ideas, my process, and the method behind my madness!
You're free to ask anything you want besides stuff that's too irl (real name, religion, politics, the whole nine yards)
Feel free to even ask the creepy questions! I accept all comers after all!
While I might not immediately get back to you, I will answer all questions asked here by the end of the day; for me ofc.

For the past month and half now, I've been dealing with irl stuff. To name a few, the big ones have been:
Job Hunting
Getting a New Job
Job Hunting some more
Dealing with Car Issues
Writing on the side
Car Breaking
I got a new part time job and while it's nothing fantastic, It's something for me to make money with in the meantime that isn't just writing.
On the other hand, I am looking for something better, but admittedly it's hard in my area without being into Nursing (which is an avenue I'm considering at this point).
My only car at this point decided... well, something broke from being worn down.
To give y'all an idea: I own 2010 Chrysler 300. I bought it used a few years back and I've been using it since. I've have to fix it up here and there as that's the caveat of buying a used car off of a random person instead of a dealership, but honestly, I'm glad I don't have to make monthly payments.
I used my key to turn the ignition on. Usually, you can turn it back to turn the car off... but it stopped doing that. It was effectively stuck. I could take the key out and I eventually found a way to turn off the car manually through messing with the battery and something under the hood. This wasn't good for any sort of long term though, so I've been borrowing my brother's car in the meantime.
I made an appointment and only recently was I able to take my car to them.
I'm not car savvy. I might as well be ignorant to what makes a car function besides: Key goes in = Car goes vroom.
Looking up how much this would cost to repair and I was getting $200 to $900 from Google. While that sucks, It wasn't terr—
It was terrible. Oh dear god, it fucking sucked.
I looked up the wrong thing. My Receiver for the car stopped functioning fully.
What's a Receiver? It's the electronic equivalent of a Transmission (my car isn't fully electronic).
What's a Transmission? It's what makes the car fully function.
'Geez, that must be expensive! How much?'
The total I was given for needing to: Order and Replace the parts while also programing them so the car can function...
$1700~ to $2000~
Yeah. This isn't money I exactly have ON HAND.
Thankfully, friends and family have financially helped to assure me that I can pay this.
I'll just have to pay them back.
I'm not going to beg for money. I hated asking my friends and family for help, asking for strangers... might as well just strangle me instead. It'll be easier for me to deal with.
THAT ALL BEING SAID... I still need money.
So I'm here to ask a huge question:
How would y'all feel about me opening and taking writing commissions?
This is something I've pondered with as I've been open to friends for a long time, but fans and strangers, I've been hesitant on.
If I do end up opening commissions, I'll go over it all in more detail, but please let me know.
This all leads to...
My process goes like this.
I write the story; this can take 1 day to 2 weeks depending on what's going on at the time.
I send it to a friend to proofread; this can take 3 days to 2 weeks depending on what he's doing.
Ideally, while he's doing that, I'm getting to work on the next story. However, there have been times where we both just don't do that and we play games together cause irl stress and bullshit.
When he's done, I usually ask the commissioner (or pull from one of my art pieces if it's my story) for a picture.
I throw it into Gimp and make the thumbnail.
Then I send it out onto platforms like FA.
I post it to a few discord servers.
Then I send out 1 to 2 pieces of art. Speaking of...
So, I couldn't get much art until I got my job and immediately after the car issues started to happen. I was hoping to save money so I could fix the car up, but that's not the case. Any commissions I wanted to get; no matter how sad it made me, I had to ultimately cancel as the funds have to go to something more important.
I still have art I've yet to post though! Even one piece from before the car issues, but... I like posting art with my stories. Even if the art isn't related, it helps give my stories more traction. Mix that with my VERY limited backlog of art and y'all can imagine why I haven't been posting anything for a while.
As much as I enjoy doing them, this sudden car issues means I need to value money over what I want to do.
I still want to do more with Fable and Faye, you can count on that!
I also have been asked in private about stuff for gift art. I originally was going to put this off until I got new refs for Fable and Faye (had to cancel them and they'll stay canceled until I can get these car troubles done), but as for gift art...
Anything related to Pinups, Breeding, Cum Inflation, Growth, Vore (Pred) and Pregnancy are a-ok and you're free to do that as you want ^^
Inflation (besides Cum), Corruption, and Vore (Not Pred) are stuff I would prefer to be asked about before hand as my tastes are picky in those regards.
After that, I have a Private Scene and Two Open Short Story commissions that I need to tend to. Once those are done... well, I'll see where I can go from there <3

Where I've been.

Are you still posting stories?
I haven't been posting them as I've been working on them little by little, but I am still gonna post stories.My process goes like this.
I write the story; this can take 1 day to 2 weeks depending on what's going on at the time.
I send it to a friend to proofread; this can take 3 days to 2 weeks depending on what he's doing.

Where's the art? Why haven't you posted?
So, I couldn't get much art until I got my job and immediately after the car issues started to happen. I was hoping to save money so I could fix the car up, but that's not the case. Any commissions I wanted to get; no matter how sad it made me, I had to ultimately cancel as the funds have to go to something more important.

Mix that with my VERY limited backlog of art and y'all can imagine why I haven't been posting anything for a while.
The Future and the Mice.
Even if y'all aren't down to commission me, I have a few friends who are still wanting to comm something from me and their contributions will help greatly. This, however, also means because I need money, any personal stories that I've been doing involving the mice (or art trades) I have had to be put on halt.As much as I enjoy doing them, this sudden car issues means I need to value money over what I want to do.
I still want to do more with Fable and Faye, you can count on that!
I also have been asked in private about stuff for gift art. I originally was going to put this off until I got new refs for Fable and Faye (had to cancel them and they'll stay canceled until I can get these car troubles done), but as for gift art...

Inflation (besides Cum), Corruption, and Vore (Not Pred) are stuff I would prefer to be asked about before hand as my tastes are picky in those regards.
Thank Y'all!
I want to thank y'all so much! Even if I've not been the most active of Mice, the attention and little bits of support I have received from people enjoying my work make this so much easier then y'all know. I have another story being proofread as we speak and hopefully will see the light of day soonish!After that, I have a Private Scene and Two Open Short Story commissions that I need to tend to. Once those are done... well, I'll see where I can go from there <3
