Where the heck have I been?
4 months ago
Hi all!
I hope you're all doing well. Helix reminded me recently that I haven't touched my writing account in a while, and that's because I've been busy with a whole lot of stuff! Here's a rundown of what I've been up to:
Proofreading for the Noss Saga
I was picked up as a proofreader for the Noss Saga by Joaquin Baldwin (https://www.joaquinbaldwin.com/) last year. Relinquished Realms, now published, is the first book I worked on, and lately I've been hard at work proofreading book 4.
Anthology Writing
I've been working on stories for anthologies. A short 1000 word story of mine was recently published in Edwin@Work's Work "Fur" Hire anthology (https://workfurhirebook.carrd.co), and I'm writing a longer ~10,000 word story in hopes of getting it chosen for the "The Day After" anthology from TFpublishing. Fingers crossed! If it doesn't get picked, I'll be sure to post it here.
Visual Novel Writing
Edwin@Work has been putting a small visual novel together based around the story that was published in his anthology. I recently finished up a draft of the script for that.
Graphic Design for Kyell Gold
I've been creating a flyer for Kyell Gold's books. Not sure how much is appropriate to share about that, but the fact that I'm working on it was talked about on a stream recently, so at least I can say that.
Furry Fiction Showcases
I've been going around to cons putting on panels that showcase furry books, and creating handouts for them that give everyone a good rundown of the furry fiction world. Here's a link to one of those handouts: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YK.....w?usp=drivesdk
Dealing for FurPlanet
I'm going to start helping out at the FurPlanet table at cons soon. My first time will be at Anthrocon this year. I've never done sales before, but I know a lot about the books, so should be interesting!
Reading and Reviewing
I'm reading so much furry fiction (20 or so books so far this year) and writing reviews for it. That's been super rewarding. There are so many incredible books out there. Happy to give recommendations.
Zweihander
I'm still in the planning stages for Zweihander. Currently I'm planning to commit to working full throttle on it once my current projects are done. I really need to get my own book out there. I'll be limiting myself to 1 additional project while working on that.
Hopefully that helps explain why I've been so quiet as of late! I'm still very active on Bluesky though, posting reviews and talking about writing, so follow me there if you'd like! https://bsky.app/profile/shilohskye.com

Hell maybe one day I may knock on the door for proofreading and perhaps one day receive a review knife in the kidney's from someone I know as I have done to so many others. However, our reviews are different things. Never sure how I feel about age rating on books, they are a private journey of self growth after all.
Glad you are working on Zweihander still.
Great to see people going places. Not sure I'm like a weird cryptid or just some esoteric thing in the dark corners of fur world.
Doesn't help I don't use social media and the world moving on as it does.
Nonetheless, best of luck with everything.

I knew you were proofreading for Noss Saga and wrote a short story for Work "Fur" Hire, but the rest is a fun surprise. Hope all of the projects leaves plenty of time for writing!
