Thoughts, and various mad ramblings. Hello, everyone! Some of you may have noticed that Erie Isles Episode 51 has just been posted. As I've been promising, I'm still going to finish that story and prioritize it so that it'll be done relatively soon. Maybe even sometime before the spring of 2021, if I could be so lucky. I'm also still working on that new concept, now dubbed "The AdvAnTAGE Project", and so far I have about 30 pages of notes and world building, plus an almost-done pilot episode! I'm liking the direction it's taking, and it feels like a story I'll be enthusiastic to right. Also, I've decided to make it a lot shorter than these other 50+ chapter, 1,500 page monstrosities. :P
I'm hoping to post an episode a week, but because I don't want to let the new story sit on the backburner for too long, what I'll likely do is write both Erie Isles and The AdvAnTAGE Project, swapping back and forth between whichever one is most pleasing to me, like a kinky threesome of literature. This means that I may post AdvAnTAGE next week, to get it started, then Erie Isles a few times, then AdvAnTAGE, etc. I'd post more than once a week, and I may still do that for images I've commissioned and poetry, but as some of you may already know, I drive trucks and trucker hours are insane. I'm working between 65-70 hours a week, and most of my living is done in the sleeper berth, so bear with me. I do, however, plan to take time off during the first week of November, to facilitate a move and to catch up on my work, and post-Thanksgiving I may be dramatically decreasing my IRL workload. We'll see how it goes, but that's the plan so far. Oh! I have cover art for AdvAnTAGE being made as well, and as this story has a new format, including "monster of the week" episodes, it will have it's own folder and a legend system, so it's easy to see which stories further the underlying plot, and which stories are porn and/or there for cheap thrills. I'll make that folder when I'm ready to post the pilot.
In other news, I've been balancing out my time with my band's music, operating the studio as a sound engineer while also being the drummer... I have a lot of hobbies. We entered a contest for a V-Tuber that didn't get us anywhere, but here's our page with our one upload, in case you're curious as to the other things I might have been up to. (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_f8c7-uxhsqaFxz5...)
Now on to my friends... We're living in crazy times, and money is tight for everyone right now, but hear me out real quick. I'm not the kind of guy to shill and I never have been. I think people earn their way based on merit, but sometimes that's not always true, and these people are actually close to me, so I feel for them. I don't even get anything for this; I just want to shine some light on my friends.
AnnVee (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/annvee) is an excellent artist, and I love her art style. It's highly detailed, not too cartoony, but not too realistic either. She's juuust right. She's a sweetheart, easy to work with, and has a real talent for her craft. If I could draw like her, my stories would all be graphic novels and I'd likely be 100 times bigger in the community, but alas, I'm just a pleb with an imagination and a keyboard. AnnVee has been a good friend for a while now, and I go to her for much of my art, especially the sexy stuff. Here are good examples of her work. (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/31446677/ & https://www.furaffinity.net/view/37332921/) In fact, she's working on art for me right now, for both Naveen & Celeste (Naveen: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38644724/ & Celeste: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36251804/), the latter of which I'm also drafting stories for. If you want some cute ass artwork of your characters, custom or YCH, please keep her in mind. She's struggling. She already lowered her prices on her YCHs, and I've even tried to help her with new YCH concepts. Please don't make her rattle a tin cup. :(
Then there's Yuri! (https://www.furaffinity.net/user/fairyyuri) He's the man responsible for most of my book covers, including Erie Isles' ship cover! AND he did the artwork for me of April and Grey having some passionate moments together. (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/31387168/ & https://www.furaffinity.net/view/31151956/) In fact, I've known Yuri for almost two years, and he's the main reason I've spent 600+ days trying to learn Russian! He has a very unique and visually distinctive style. It's very sharp, kind of dark and reminds me of oil-on-canvas portraits. No lie, my bedroom has framed printouts of Yuri's art hanging on the wall, and he's making art for me that's not even related to this community; he's working on a badass image that I'm going to turn into a sticker for my bass drum. His art has a wide range, from morbid and creepy, to fanciful, and even verging on the surreal. I'm fond of all of his styles. Another thing, too, Yuri undersells himself, which he shouldn't do, so when I commission him I pay extra. He's like the brother I never had, so if you want a distinctive art piece of your character, be it SFW or very NSFW, consider him for the job.
Thanks for bearing with me, and I hope to entertain you very soon. :)

It is cool to hear about your going-ons. I'll make sure to give the artists a look up and maybe a watch. Also, your youtube link didn't work.
