Hey folk, I'm doing my best to start posting here a lot more, as well as on SoFurry and Weasyl. If anyone has suggestions of other places to post, please tell me! I had considered AO3, but since I very specifically don't do any Rule 34 anymore, I don't know how relevant I would be there, unless furry stories count as representing furry fandom in general. After a lot of thought, I won't be posting on InkBunny. There's an audience there, sure, but I can't escape the reputation it has, and I don't want to be associated professionally with it.

After next Friday, I'm going to be opening for commissions. I've updated my pricing structure to reflect the time and effort that goes into my writing, and the realization that one should not undervalue their own work. Industry standards for freelance writing can go as high as $0.20/word, and as low as $0.02/word. I've placed myself at the very low end of this. Hopefully the market will bear it.

Current Projects!

I've got a few little projects in the works, and hopefully will have at least one story for you this coming weekend (the 18/19th).

Dangerous Experimentation Part 2 - Familial Temptations for  Kjorteo is about 1/3 done. I split Dangerous Experimentation into two distinct parts because part two features a kink that may be a bit less palatable to some of my readers, but one that I certainly don't mind myself, and that's incest. Our poor coyote, Jessica, had been left trussed up and presented for use by the celkali by the end of Part 1. She thinks she'll be saved, but when her twin brother so convincingly reminds his father that by all they can tell from the video feeds, Jessica wanted what happened, will she really find her salvation? After all, there's also the facility's mysterious Benefactors who are pushing for more product.

The Glurren - Kit's Tale A sort of gift story for  dotcom656 is in the works, inspired by art that Slug did for him, as I'm going to make use of the creature for my own stories. I'm doing this one as a special project after hearing on Writer's Crossing (details about that in the comments) about a one-day-story event. On Friday, November 17 I will aim to write the entirety of the story in a single day. Given that this is likely to be 3000-4000 words, it's quite the order. I might even boot up OBS and stream on Picarto... though I'm not sure people want to read something as it's written.

A Birthday To Remember - Mentioned in a previous journal, this is really only in the overall planning stage. Featuring  Vanyan in an alternate world where he's not a full demon, but an incubus, it's the tale of a newly adult rabbit, Jenn, finding him in Foxwood's, a sex club just off of Toronto's Church Street, owned by Vanyan. Before he knows it, and not entirely without some use of Vanyan's preternatural persuasiveness and magic, he finds himself up on stage, servicing any and all takers while Vanyan claims his rump for the first time. I once had a great deal of this written already, but in the process of changing to a new computer, I lost all but one portion. It's always been there in my 'to do' list, but the loss of my muse for nearly two years left this on hold.

Is This Seat Taken? - This is going to be my first foray into f/f, both as an exercise to broaden my horizons, and to show that I'm not a one-trick pony as it were. I WANT to write more content. I don't want to be typecast into one specific genre / theme. Though from the story itself, my own interests are definitely going to be on display. Alexandra (Adra) Solakis, a twenty-two year old jackal who's moved far east to Waterloo, Ontario from her small town in British Columbia, is taking full advantage of the freedom from her overly religious and bigoted family. Happy to be able to be herself, she openly wears a choker collar with the lesbian Pride colours around her neck. While at a cafe, she finds herself approached by Kseniya Varina, an all-white squirrel in her late 30s. Seni IS, indeed, the same lady featured in Melodies, one of my first stories ever posted. Though the basic setup is very similar to Birthday, I'm aiming for a more intimate and emotional story of self-discovery and personal freedom.

One should always, at first, lean into what interests and excites them, both for visual arts and for literary arts. One theme I've always loved exploring is 'firsts'. First kiss, first lovemaking, first serious relationship. The other is large age differences between characters. Both Birthday and ITST feature these, with Vanyan seeming to be in his early 40s, and Kseniya being late 30s. Though such differences in age can and often are exploitative in real life, fantasy is another story altogether. Keep watching!
