So I know I haven't been horribly active in this community. Why, I'm sure most of my watchers are simply watchers out of courtesy for me watching them. Either way, I do appreciate the attention. However, I have run into a bit of a situation that is quite troublesome and frustrating, I have recently been fired from my job and in the past few weeks I have been having troubles finding work. Not for a lack of trying, I assure you, at the rate I am going, I will have applications out to every available workplace within my city in only a few weeks. However, I have bills coming due and while my roommate is an amazing person and hasn't been stressing me on trying to pay, it is not fair to rely on him for everything. I have my pride and it seriously wounds me to even consider the idea that he has to pay for everything as I have run out of money.

What it boils down to is this, I am no artist, but I do fancy myself a writer. I wish to open myself up for commissions, pricing is negotiable as I do not have anything set in mind at the moment and really, anything will help. I know I do not have much proof of my skill here on FA and I can claim all I want. I will offer, though, a close friend of mine Spectre Frostpaw knows how well I do write and he can certainly attest to my abilities. I am available to write pretty much any story with any details you desire, any length so long as we can come to fair terms, and I will strive to be fairly quick whilst providing the up-most quality and care for anything I produce. Writing is my medium and I wish to maintain a certain level of passion and care for such! Please, drop me a message and we can work out details and payment and all of that other not-so-fun stuff until we get something going. As I said, I am in a state of emergency and am willing to work out fair and even super low pricing.

Writing, however, is not the only service I am willing to provide! I think of myself as a rather accomplished GM, once again, my friend Spectre actually has first-hand knowledge of this. I bring this up because I'm willing to offer something I don't know is actually a very well-utilized possibility. As I understand, good GMs are hard to come by, and I know this might seem to some as a little strange or even off-putting, but I am a willing GM-for-hire! Have a group that wishes to play a tabletop game like Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Shadowrun, etc? Does everyone simply wish to play a character and no one really wants to be the GM for your chosen game or might even be a bit nervous about their skills AS a GM? Well, I actually enjoy filling the role of GM and would simply love to offer my services as one for your game. I am very flexible on system and learn fairly quickly, especially if I can get a pdf copy of the core books for the game. As I am not currently working, my schedule is also fairly open, Sunday mornings are the only days I will not GM on. So please, if this sounds interesting to you, PM me for more details and we can work things out including payment and schedules. This doesn't even have to be a full campaign thing either, I will be just as happy running one-shot adventures for you and your group! I am also super newbie friendly, so if you've ever been interested in playing but could never really get the motivation to get into such games, by all means, let me know. I love starting new players down the paths of adventure and fun that I have been lucky enough to enjoy for so many years and even if your whole group is new to the game or just a few members, I'm very happy to be a part of the beginning of your fun. I will admit, especially with new players, I tend to be very Rules-As-Written oriented, it helps me run the game a bit smoother and helps people actually learn the system before trying fun and new spins or house rules on things. That's not to say though, if a house rule is desired, I wont play by it, the forward section of most books even say if something's not fun, dont do it. That's a mantra to live by in tabletop gaming, "If it isn't fun, change it until it is."

Finally, there is one more thing I know I can do for others and it's very simple, but can be fun. I am a massive fan of the game Minecraft, and I have tons of hours (and fun) playing it. As is evident in the (unfortunately short) gallery of mine, I enjoy making custom skins for Minecraft avatars. I understand it's surprisingly simple to do, but it does tend to be tedious to make your own skin, so why not hire someone like me who actually likes the challenge of putting your ideas on a blocky, 3d model? Obviously I don't expect much in the way of compensation for this but I'd love to either help or even completely design a skin for you for a little bit of scrap if you like. Again, PM me for details and such and we'll get things moving!

Now, if none of this really interests you, that's fair and I understand! Though I would ask that you consider passing this journal along and spreading the word, I obviously do not have a lot of watchers and my reach is only so limited, a boost would be very, very helpful. Thank you very much for your time and consideration, I do hope you have a very wonderful day!

Though, if you're feeling REALLY charitable, by all means, I would greatly appreciate any and all donations at paypal.me/NebelVanDushmer

And I'm sure you all would be a good source for the help/info I need. I have a con coming up in a bit over a month's time and I'm looking to have a costume ready for it. I am not looking for a fursuit I just need someone who's good at clothing and costuming and such and isn't horribly expensive. If you know anyone who's good at making stuff like that and wouldn't mind making a bit of money, please let me know!

Woo! It has launched here in the US, I'm NebelVanDushmer, I live in Clarksville, TN, anyone out there want to take over the city!? lol message me

Hello! I know I haven't posted anything in quite some time. Hell, I'm sure some of you are probably convinced I'm just completely inactive these days, but I'm around, stalking your drawings and lurking on your posts. But beyond being creepy like that, there is something important I'd like to bring to your attention, it's a gofundme campaign that even if you can't help out with, a share or something like that would be great! https://www.gofundme.com/foodvikings please take a look, it'd be much appreciated.

Hey anyone who reads this, I'm about to start streaming Red Faction, the stream should go live in about 10 mins or so! http://www.twitch.tv/nebelvandushmer

That's right! Here lately I have been streaming my adventures in Cube World on twitchtv. My profile can be found at http://www.twitch.tv/nebelvandushmer. I am not streaming right now, but I am slowly working it into an almost nightly ritual. Typically, I am on after 9:30pm Central Time. Cube World is a fun little voxel adventure/RPG that is only in its alpha stages but is beautifully polished into an extremely playable game already. They have many, many plans for the game that if (and by if I mean 'when', that's right, I'm getting confident about the people who are developing this game) they deliver on their promises, looks like it's going to be quite the winner when it comes to RPGs. There's not too much variety in gameplay in the game just yet but they have announced a MAJOR update to the game slotted for February. Mind you, they haven't updated since January but I think that's because they're so dedicated to putting out a quality game that I bet they're polishing it and going over it meticulously until they're sure there will be few to no bugs in the game. I'll be honest, I have been playing for a bit less than a month now, and in that time, I have yet to come across anything that would register as a bug. I am sure they have found some as it would seem to be they are quite tedious with their own game, but I personally have yet to stumble across any exploit or bug in the system at all. I'm really looking forward to the completion of this game. https://picroma.com/cubeworld is the main page of their website for the game if you'd like to take a look for yourself. I understand many people are hesitant to buy games that are still in an alpha stage of any kind, but I know I did and I have no regrets.

So I stream now, using TwitchTV like a lot of people out there. I'll try to let people know when I am streaming, I'm not right now unfortunately, as I'm heading to bed soon. Just thought I'd let the few of you who do pay attention to journals know that I am. You can find my channel here http://www.twitch.tv/nebelvandushmer, but like I said, I'm going to bed so no stream tonight. Maybe tomorrow night, maybe not, who knows. Thank you.

Mind you, that's not ME playing, but my good friend/roommate.

It's a fun game though and I encourage you all to try it if you're into MMO's and actually roleplaying.

Go there ^ if you'd like to enter.

My girlfriend  StormKitten and I are trying to raise as much money before September as possible. She is a wonderful writer and is open for commissions. Please, check out her pricing here http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/825279/ . Even if you cannot afford anything or perhaps you do not wish for her to write anything for you, please take a note of the last bit of her journal posting and consider passing on word at least for a little something for free.

It's much needed right now, I have an unfed need to write and I don't have many good ideas right now. Help my writers block and give me something good to write? I promise I'll make it worth your while! Well, ok, I can't really promise that, but I will try to make whatever I decide to write actually worth reading. I know there's only four of you watching right now and I know for a fact that two of you rarely log in and one more of you probably doesn't even check your journal submissions. Maybe the one person who DOES check their FA regularly will see this and have something they'd like to see written by a different creative mind?

And someone I'm watching posted it.

Not sure what to put here... I just felt like this space was too empty.

I guess I can let anyone who reads this know, I fancy myself a bit of a writer, I've submitted one of my weaker projects that I'm working on now. It's no-where near complete but it's a taste, kinda... of my weaker stuff. I'm working on three stories right now actually, one isn't even really fur related and the other is one that is basically Capitan's story.

I'm open to suggestions and criticism, especially on Geoff's Watch. I've worked a bit further on the story so far, it's going to be a bit more of your classic ghost story and I'll make another submission when it's done. In fact, I'll probably post all of my stories here as I finish them.

One more note, I'll do free stuff for you if you suggest something that I find interesting. I'm not that experienced at writing mature, but practice makes perfect and if you have something I feel like would be fun to write, I'll probably take a whack at it. In general though, I'll probably stick to my own projects until I finish them, then maybe I'll be more open to other ideas.
