1 Year Anniversary Announcement
4 years ago
Hello Everyone. As the title suggests, it has been now 1 full year since I uploaded on this account for the first, so I wanted to make a few points in light of the next one.
First, it has been a really fun and productive year to be certain. Counting the 2 submissions I uploaded earlier today, I have published a total of 588 pages of work, amassing to somewhere around 100,000 words.
~427 of those were centered on MLP stuff
~93 were from various Miko centered stories ;)
I was rather stunned at the result of adding it all up, but I think it makes for a great target to go for in the next year, so starting now, I suppose I am on a race to make 589 pages of even better stuff.
I hope you have all enjoyed my stuff so far. I think I probably improved quite a lot in that time, and I hope my stuff continues to impress. Starting with that, I'd like to give a small list of things of I definitely want to work on here in the coming weeks and months. This isn't everything I have in the works by any means, but I just wanted to drop these ideas down somewhere official.
--MLP related project--
*The 3rd and final in the series of Lyra's vacation and scratch for a melody. For those who read the latter, you might have guessed the story isn't over yet, and there is still one more piece to it (As well as a really nice commissioned artwork I got to accompany it). I had planned to work on it more, but I got sidetracked by some other projects that preoccupied me. It will be of comparable length, and feature many of the same themes as the others, but hopefully more refined. I'm super excited for this one.
*A dedicated series to the student 6. Since I actually started writing, I have really wanted to do something related to the newest bunch of MLP characters, but It has been a funny situation where I have been so overwhelmed by different ideas and directions to go for, that I haven't really nailed one down. One thing I want to do this year is start a series similar to what I did with background characters.
*The last thing I want to sort of set in stone is that I want to put together a situation around the fashion pony characters, specifically Rarity, Coco, and sassy saddles. I really like all the characters, and there is a lot of untapped synergy with them. I have been sort of muddled around which direction to go with it, but I do plan to put together something significant.
--Other-- (Yeah, I do have other stuff funny enough)
*As you might have seen in recent, I have finally started to branch out a bit with a couple of stories around a web of Pokémon OC's. That has been quite a different direction for me, but definitely a fun one as well. There are a few more short story ideas I have around, but here soon I plan to develop a more full sized concept, with a bit more establishment to the characters. I don't plan to fully transition to this sort of stuff, but I definitely want to work more on it.
--Commissions--
This is something I have been pretty on the fence about. Generally, I wasn't terribly avid about these, and wanted to keep them at an arm's length, but I don't feel like going by simple requests will leave anyone happy, so I wanted to make some means to offer my help with putting together concepts.
Anyway, I'll try to very very tentatively offer small commissioned stories (<13 pages or around 2500 words)
If you're interested, just send me a note. One thing I do want to stress is have some scenario you'd like to see, and not necessarily just a character and nothing else. Not a whole awful lot I can do with "Hey, do X"
As far as themes go, as long as it is nothing extreme like gore, scat, etc, and nothing odor based. I wouldn't say it's limited to MLP either. Let's just go with, "If I have written about it before, I'll probably write about it again"
Part of the reason for this in the first place is broaden my horizons beyond where they are now, so just note what you have, and we'll see what it is. Pricing is a difficult thing for me to wager, but we can discuss that one as well on a case-by-case until I have a more thorough idea.
Anyway, that about sums up the stuff I had. Hope you have all enjoyed what I have made thus far, and I hope I'll be able to keep delivering on such things.

And the plans for the other storys sound excellent.
Perhaps as Suri Polomare gets some ticklish revenge? :3
