A big thanks to everyone!
14 years ago
First off, I'd like to give a big thank you to everyone who stopped by after discovering me through Narse's art!
Whew! Looks like I survived the deluge of favorites and watches that came with Narse's little plug. :) I know the majority of people were just here to check out his art, but if you were one of the few who listened to Narse's recommendation and read a story of mine, I hope you walked away impressed with what you found. ;)
(If you knew of me before Narse uploaded my art, go and put your hipster glasses now... you'll need them.)
The rush of new readers has been small, but I am very grateful for it nonetheless. It's been really disheartening to see the majority of the fandom give no respect or interest to authors, especially when I believe that great writing can just as enjoyable, if not more, than great art. Many times, I spend 100+ hours writing a story only to find it's only gotten a few views and received no feedback. It's quite frustrating to put so much effort into something that does not get noticed, and that is why I am so grateful to have such a well known artist like Narse who is willing to draw for me and support my work.
If you didn't know, the picture that Narse drew is actually part of an art trade with me. I wrote him the story "Grooming Time" (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6145303/) which is M/M: human on dragon, with rimming, anal, and oral. In return, Narse is drawing me art of the Dragon Ranch dragons. He still has a few more pictures to draw, so you can expect more Narse art of my characters in the future. He is unfortunately always busy and I can give no timeline as to when he will finish another drawing.

Now, as for my stories... I'd like to give people an update on the progress of things real quick. I struggle with a lot motivation problems while writing... which makes it hard for me to get stuff done. However, getting commissioned encourages me because I am more obligated to write if I am being paid for it! XD Also, support from fans helps to encourage me as well. :)
Current project: An original story of a man and an intelligent feral of some kind. I don't want to give details but it will be similar to The Persistent Dragon in terms of content, style, and humor. There will be lots of smut and humor. :P After that: Commission for a sequel to The Wildlands. (not paid yet). I may re-work chapter one first, as my writing skills have improved since publishing that story. Also to note: Dragon Ranch is currently on hiatus. Plot is already planned out. The Persistent Dragon is also on hiatus. Plot has been planned out.
If you are interested in seeing a sequel for ANY of my stories, I take commissions or trades to write them. Send me a private message if you want to know more.
Working with me is the best way to see what you want: With a lot of project ideas, it's unlikely I work on sequels too often. Also, I do not write M/M unless it is for a commission! Writing stories is a very long process, which can take up to several weeks. As I said, I struggle with motivation and many times I do not feel like writing, so taking only one commission at a time seems like the best option for now. I put all commission offers in a waiting list and when I am free, I check back with customers to see if they are still interested. :)
Thanks for stopping by once again.

Your stories are obviously far better wrote though. They are awesome!
Wish you good luck with your commissions and projects c:
Oh.. but in fact I just noted right now that I have there that much more submission views.. 1300 for that one at least. But I'm not active there unfortunately though..
Bad that on fa writers don't get appreciated so much, but it's true.. :/
I know how you feel man in terms of writing. Working so hard only for few people to notice.
I think there might be a little too much tl;dr around here.
You're right, authors tend to not be as noticed in many fandoms, which is sad because the written works I've found to be much more enjoyable (but that's me)
