My art account
nitetigrezz Just a head's up, I'm trying to keep updates appropriate for each account on said accounts, which means only Writing/Story updates will be on this account. For updates about Nite/Artwork, please go to nitetigrezz and for updates of adopts and give-aways please go to ~al. Finally, for personal updates please check out ~munchkin~. I know, I'm a butt for spreading things out over multiple accounts, but this way people will only have to read what they'd be interested in xp If you guys really don't like that, just let me know and I'll throw all my updates on one account or another.
ZOMGSOMUCHGOINGONFORTHISTOPICYOUDONTEVENKNOW X.X I know it seems like most days I don't do squat for my writing, and recently I admit, that's been the case. But I dub this year the Year of the Pen! So expect that to change, even if I can't exactly upload much of what I'm writing. Here's why!

Alright, for those who didn't know, I'm working toward entering a story into the anthology for Rainfurrest 2014. Click HERE for details! I'm working on Tech Flesh, which was initially submitted for the contest they were running (we had about 22-24 hours, give or take, to complete it). I need to flesh it out more and clean up some areas I wasn't too happy with, as well as double the word count. I also want to run it through a couple of beta readers I wasn't able to contact in time originally and go from there.
I have also been groping around for story ideas that could be entered into their G-PG anthology since Tech Flesh is definitely going to be R-rated. There are two other story ideas I want to entertain and see if they might be good candidates. One of them I already know I'm going to have some trouble executing because I need to decide which direction I want to go in. One direction would make it a tragic love story of sacrifice, decayed hope, and selfless greed (trust me, if I go that route you'll see what I mean) while the other would be softer and less tragic and far more hopeful, though still a bit more difficult to keep under PG13.
The other story I'm really excited about, but again decisions are going to have to be made on how strongly I want the message to come across vs the rating I want to go for. The basic message can still be maintained, but to a far lesser degree. It's... kinda really infuriating, and the first time I've had to deal with this problem x.x So yeah, have a lot of figuring out to do. If I can get the time set aside, I think I'm going to want to write out all versions and run them through my beta readers. Get some opinions on which versions/stories might have the best chance.
~~~~~
On top of all that, I'm also participating in an anthology that's going to (hopefully!) be used to raise money for Feed America (or some other charity along those lines) in time for the holidays of 2014! The one doing all the heavy work (so to speak) is sasuke and yes, the anthology is fat-fur themed, PG-13 rated. It's for an amazing cause, and I have my story planned as an outsider's pov. I'm kidna sweating over it because I haven't even touched it yet and I still have to do some homework on the subject x.x But! I'm determined to get it done BEFORE April, which looks like that's the target area to have them turned in.
If anyone's at all interested at contributing for a super-great cause, be it as a fatfur or from an outsider's point of view, please check this out: http://cawdordesigns.com/write/stor.....tfur-anthology
Thank you!!!!

As if all of this isn't enough! Copy/pasting from my ~al account because this is indeed a cross-over!
I also have a question. So I was toying with one particularly creep-inspiring dollmaker when a whole story began to form from it. It was actually good enough to give even me the creeps while I was trying to hammer out some of the details within my own mind. The thing is, I'm kinda thinking of working with an artist to make them official adopts as I write out the story, leaving a bit of a mad-lib/template sort of flexibility for plans. Plans meaning, auctioning off the story and the characters and the characters, including letting the winner have their own fursona as the main character. Would anyone be interested in this? If I can't do it as a whole package, would anyone be interested in bidding on the separate characters/parts to the story? I know it's hard to say when I can't really show anything for it at this very moment, but it will without a doubt be in the horror/thriller genre, and the winner can decide the fate of the main character at the very end :3 This probably won't be done for awhile. I have some projects that will be expiring soon (reasons will be found in my nitescratches account) and I don't know if I'll have the same motivation by the time I have actual time for it. If enough interest is shown though, I'll put an actual effort into making notes whenever inspiration strikes and expanding on some of the characters and setting so not so much disbelief needs to be suspended xp
(Of course, as you can see from the projects listed above, it's gonna be a bit before I get to this x.x But I do want to actually get it going. Hopefully I'll be running on the high of accomplishment from the anthologies and can use it to my fullest advantage. If it's successful, I might even run with the other ideas floating around in the back of my mind I have based off of dollmakers.)

Yes, I know I still have a whole mountain of commissions/requests leering down at me x.x I haven't forgotten, promise. I really want to make this my year for focusing on my writing though. With some of the ideas I'm going to need to brainstorm a bit since the ideas are kinda vague and I'm at a stuck point, Others I just need to get my arse back into gear. Thank you everyone for all your patience (you have no idea how much love I have for you in that) and inspiration granting I'm going to try to add a higher word count than originally agreed upon just as a huge fat THANK YOU. Because you guys are awesome like that.

And yes, I still need to clean up and update my page on here x.x And migrate all my other stories and poems. So much to do still x.x
Thanks again for all your patience everyone, and to the few who still actually comment XD I really do appreciate them, even if I'm not the best at replying back.
