A few small steps into the future
10 years ago
Sorry much for my long absence here! I've actually been posting on and off elsewhere, but lately it seems like nothing is even tangentially related to furs/anthros/monster-girls, etc. Compound that with the kiddo bringing home some new bug from school every week (or so it seems), and I've been a poop here.
However! I have a story lined up to post later in the week, and a coloring project to follow behind that, and then ANOTHER story to post after that! I think Patreon is working out in that regard - it's just the right balance of accountability and pressure to keep me working, and it helps me to strike a middle ground between writing for myself, and writing what I think other people will want to read. Much of what I've done recently (that hasn't been posted here) was for myself, but the next two stories are straight from the last round of Patreon voting.
Speaking of which, as much as I feel skeezy self-promoting, the Patreon is here! The idea here is not so much to get raffle art (sorry!), but to steer the ship that is my creativity. I've posted skads of story ideas and other projects I've either started working on or at least sketched out, and I'm asking people to vote on what I should work on next. But I also encourage interaction (like, tell me what you're not seeing enough of, or how could I make this idea better, or what do you like that I'm not covering here), and you can get access to works in progress, etc, as well as earlier access to completed work. I've tried to balance it to give both meaningful input at the lowest level of participation ($1/slightly more than a month) and benefits to those who want to support at a higher level. If you like what I do in general but wished I'd work on certain types of projects more, this is the way to have that influence. (For example, Patreon is currently steering me toward more furry content, which is good, right?)
In other news, I'm now on Skype, as of today. For too long I was complacent, and satisfied with my old google and yahoo IM accounts, while the future passed me by. I'm still not on KIK (nor do I plan to be) and I leave Steam turned off, so I guess I haven't really caught up with the present, but if you've chatted at me in one of those old venues but have moved on to Skype (or, hey, just feel like chatting), note me. Even if you can figure out my super-secret account name, you should let me know before you add me, because I'm an old curmudgeon who is likely just to dismiss unexpected attempts to be friendly as overly-clever chatbots. :)
