Back From Bronycon! (The joys of post-con depression)
Posted 10 years agoHello FA!
I am now back from Bronycon and hard at work on my story queue. If you've been waiting a while fear not! I shall have stories fresh from the oven for all you lovely patient people soon. Particularly because I've noticed pouring myself into my work tends to distract from the other various issues my brain tosses at me on a day to day basis.
In anycase! Many thanks to the amazing
tacokurt for helping me fund the trip. I needed it more than I realized, and he shall be getting something special in the near future, and much thanks to everyone who took and takes the time to commission me. I know most of you lot just follow for the art, but I do appreciate all your comments on that, and the growing interests in my various perversional prose. I kinda put myself out there with every story, particularly the ones centered around my admittedly odd likes, and it's nice to know they have an audience even if it's a small one.
In anycase, here we are about two days out from the convention, and I have admittedly got Con-Crud and something else. While I sit here typing up stories about things eating other things, tickling, and tails, along with filling my bin with enough tissues to dry up the dead sea, I am rather fearful in admitting that I'm also suffering a bit of post-con depression.
This isn't terribly unusual of course. It's hard to go from such an accepting, generally fun, lively place, back to the old grind of 'Regular' people a regular job and the general day to day manusha of simply being alive. I've heard the term Post-Con-Depression used a lot in the past few years, but I don't think I've quite gotten it till now. I suppose after being somewhere like that, you kinda come home and realize how few people you actually see on a day-to-day basis really know you.
In my case that number is a big fat 0. I came home and very nearly no one wanted to hear about what I'd done out of state. I simply said I was at a 'Convention' of non-description to the less discerning of my circles, and even the more discerning asked little about what I did or how much fun I had.
I'll level with you. I do a lot more than furry stuff, but I like to keep that junk separate from this junk, and even with all that other junk that I do, the amount of people whom I can really talk to about it numbers in the single digits, in fact perhaps on a single digit on a fairly good day.
I don't know. I suppose it's just....lonely, you know? A kind of solitary confinement of self. Phenomenal cosmic weirdness trapped in an itty bitty living space 360 days out of the year. You don't realize how cramped it is until you get a few days to stretch. Then you return home, a hermit crab and your shell's far smaller than you remember.
I do suffer from actual depression of course. So this is mostly just late night fueled ramblings about what is probably a self-brought choice to be a rather lonely fellow. But I don't know, it might be nice to have a place, a person, within reach who really gets you in every facet. I don' think I've ever quite had that on a consistent basis. And having it on a macro scale for a few days makes that abundantly clear, and perhaps makes the call of the void a little louder in my ears.
Anyway. That got away from me. Bronycon was oodles of fun. Thank you all for your help and patience, there will be more smut soon, along with a few other fun things.
Back to the old grind.

ART/STORY COMISSIONS (Reminder for you evening people)
Posted 10 years agoSo, I'm heading off to Bronycon in less than a week, and have like no money. SO
tacokurt and I have teamed up to make a special offer!
tacokurt and I have teamed up to make a special offer!
Stories with art.
The first five slots of this iron author come with art from none other than
tacokurt if you get one of these slots it'll come with an art peice of round about this quality:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17138907/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15881773/
HOWEVER, he's indisposed until after Labor day. So if you buy that slot you'll get your story first but the art will come a few weeks later. Still he rarely opens commissions so it's still a pretty good deal!
These first five slots are $80 apiece, and come with one art peice and one 3k word story. If you want any more words to your story it cost $10 per extra 1k words ontop of that.
If that's what you want fill out this form This form is only for the art+story slots
http://goo.gl/forms/bna9enK3bI

Raksha_Jareth
Goddamn_Bats
[Empty]
[Empty]
The rest of the slots
If you want one of THESE fill out THIS form, not the other one.
http://goo.gl/forms/nsDMXZnIcw
The remaining 45 slots work this way. Each slot is 1,000 words for $10. For every 1,000 more words you want, you get another slot. I.E If you wanted a 4k word story, you would buy up four slots at $40. This is for story only no art comes with these, but hopefully you enjoy my stories enough to snag one!
All stories will be started after the 9th when I return from the convention and completed in order of order placement. If you already have a commission with me, that will be wrapped up before the convention on the 7th.

Jacksonville Area furries?
Posted 10 years agoHeya, I'm thinking about moving...
I currently live in a house that is technically owned by my parents, whilst studying communications and junk, but college is winding down, and I'm kinda growing tired of living under them to a degree. So at the end of 2015 to the beginning of 2016 I'm thinking about moving into a new place. Maybe an apartment, maybe a small house with some mates.
Problem is...Iiiiiii have no local friends. I'm perfectly fine with this as I am the introvert's introvert, but I probably couldn't afford an apartment of reputable size on my own, and I really don't feel like living with folks who don't quote 'Get' me, if you know what I'm saying.
So, if you're in the Jacksonville Area at the end of this year/the beginning of the next one, and you'd like to maybe test the waters and get to know me, to see if we could perhaps setup a little hamlet in the sunshine state, do give me a ring. Mind you this living arrangement would be for at the very least a year, possibly longer, and I am quite timely on rent payments, and expect no less from room mates. So only inquire if you're serious about such a thing!

HEY YOU WANNA GET BETTER AT RPing?
Posted 10 years agoI MADE A BLOG FOR THAT!
http://rp-4-me.tumblr.com/
I've noticed I've gotten a TON of notes lately about RPing with folks, and while I can't accommodate everyone who asked, I have noticed a few trends in people's RPing practices, and given out quite a few nuggets of advice. A friend of mine said I should do this so I did!
I think there should be more resources on the subject for people who want to get into it, so I went ahead and did it.
GO CHECK IT OUT.

Random Story Request?
Posted 11 years agoI think I need to clear my head with some random kinkwork.
Pitch something. Short in concept. Vore, TF or Tail related.
I'll put two hours on the clock and write it.

Posted 11 years agoIn a not terrific mood. I think it's affecting my writing. In anycase, commissions owed should hopefully begin flowing through for commissioners to approve and readers to enjoy quite soon.
Late Night TMI?
Posted 11 years agoSo, it's 6am, and I'm bored....You should totally head over to my Tumblr and prod me with questions.

About my OCs, general life junk, kinks, furry crushes, no holds barred.

Haven't Been Around Much...
Posted 11 years agoAs a few of my friends might have noticed, I haven't been around much these past few days. I apologize for that. It's been a hard month...This week family member of mine was hit by a car that ran a red light. She's not okay.
Apologies for being slow with commissions or not very talkative around the skypes and such. Just having a bit of a hard time as of late, burying myself in work I guess. I will be alright, just kinda...reeling I suppose. Anyway, more stuff to come this week, but I'm kinda not extremely social for the time being.

Posted 11 years ago100 SUBMISSIONS!
Posted 11 years ago*Blows Party Whistle*
Yay! I've spent WAY too much on art, it's party time! Heheh, but no seriously it's been really fun getting elbow deep into the community and meeting tons of wonderful artists and friends. I was a lurker for years, but I'm really glad I bucked up and jumped in!
Here's to 100 submissions, and hoping for 100 more!

A survey you should take!
Posted 11 years ago
sofia.exe is taking a survey! You should totally go check it out. The survey is here and
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Qi.....xXhYA/viewform
extra info on it can be found here http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5979309/
It's a survey concerning art pricing, and will hopefully lead to better Commisioner/Commission-ee relations.
Spread it around!
Apologies mark 2!
Posted 11 years agoI've been rather down with depression as of late, so my commisions list has suffered a bit, major apologies for that, it's just hard to get up and do much of...anything when I hit a low. But I've nutted up, got some coffee and will be going through my list today:
Mightyshockwave (Fimfic): Caramel/Rarity naga hypnosis 98%
DuffCollie Shemale cheating fic 95%
pzp03 Macro sexing fic 46%
VDO Tail grooming fic 30%
Now that I actually feel...you know...Kinda alive, it shouldn't take long to knock these out.

Posted 11 years agoI have two commissions in my queue currently and they're a touch late, many apologies for that something came up and took up WAY more of my time than planned. Both will be sent out to their respective commissioners in about the day.
Happy Birthday to me!
Posted 11 years agoYaaaaayyyy....
I guess I should get something special, but I'm out of ideas. In anycase, I have not died this year, hooray.

So...
Posted 11 years agoIt's my birthday in three days....huh...
I don't know, I've been feeling really down lately. I can't get a lick of anything done, haven't really been talking to people like I normally do, and I've mostly just been sitting around the house attempting to get some work done and failing horribly. I really need to work on this so I can not be a grump when the day rolls around.
In anycase, I guess I ought to try and get something to commemorate it, ideas art-wise? I don't know.

Huh...I have over 100 watchers. (Sombra stuff, and com info)
Posted 11 years agoThat's neat! Thanks everyone, and onwards and upwards to 200, glad you enjoy my characters and taste in commissions. Also don't be afraid to give me a poke on skype sometime at Theplotpony, I don't bite, I promise.
I have good stuff coming down the pipeline. If you like those Sombra hypnosis pics in my gallery I am planning a few more. I got the set finished, but I am under pain of death not to post the rest anywhere, so I'll probably just have the rest done by someone else again so they'll be portable when I have a bit of extra dosh.
Speaking of extra Dosh, I also take writing commissions, admittedly from my time as a brony, but the prices are the same:
