Hello, and welcome to Black Cat's Path 2025! Black Cat's Path is my annual Halloween-themed commission drive wherein I offer a bounty of hot smut writing for everyone that wants to dare enter my commission forms. In the years before I've offered prompts and YCHs during one year, but we're continuing to play around with the offerings this year and opening things up to a spread of potential options for y'all. It's a real mixed candy bowl of commissions. :3c

What do you mean by that? What exactly are you offering?

We're keeping things to 31 offerings this time around after doing 34 for BCP 2025: The Camera's Eye. As said before, the amount of potential story types on offer is broadening this year!

Prompts are returning, with ten slots! Prompts are three-page (probably) short stories based around a single word. So like, if you purchased "Envenomed" from a list of prompts, it could be about a snake biting you and turning you into a naga through being poisoned, or someone getting doped up and horny from a drider's bite, or you getting taken over by Venom from Spider-Man! These are very flexible as long as there's some connection to the prompt. Prompts are priced at $35 USD, are first-come and first-serve, and limited to two slots per customer this year to keep things fair. If you're interested, check it out over here!

Now, we get onto what's new for this year, and we'll start with a big one... Literally! For the first time ever I'm offering ten long-form slots as part of Black Cat's Path! Long-forms are just straight up writing commissions. No muss and no fuss beyond the thematic details all BCP stories will get mentioned below, you tell me an idea and I craft it for you. You know how it works! Long-forms are at $13 USD a page, with slots selected from submitted forms after October 14th, 11:59 PM EST. I write at about 800 words average a page, in twelve point font Times New Roman. You will be charged based on single-spacing the lines, with double-spacing coming afterwards.

Going from big to small... the one-pager experiment worked VERY well, and accordingly, I'll be opening up for six one-pager commissions! These are, as they suggest, (hypothetically) single-page commissions meant to let you explore a short scene, sculpt out an idea, or get a fix on how a certain character or species behaves. You can do this just with an idea off the top of your head, or we can make this a caption commission where you give me a picture that you own and I can base it off of what's going on in there. One-pager commissions are priced at $11 USD each. Long-forms and one-pagers will be opening later today once the advert for them is finished!

Finally, we have something that I'm experimenting with that's a little bit between a YCH and a long-form... I'm tentatively calling these host slots and will be providing five slots for these. Host slots are focused around a singular kink with a similar intro for each story, focused around the focal character for this year or "host" kicking your character's story off. This year, the kink is TF, the host is Roil, and he'll be selling or offering you a potion. Beyond these fixed potions, the sky's the limit on what you want to get. More details (along with an example of an intro to a host story!) will be coming shortly! Host slots will be priced at $120 USD for a tentative ten pages each, with slots selected from submitted forms after October 14th, 11:59 PM EST. Keep your eyes on this spot over the next few days for when they'll be going up!

All of these offerings are pay-on-completion. You pay me when they’re finished and when you’re satisfied.

So, to reiterate:
10 prompt slots at $35 each
10 long form slots at $13 a page
6 one-pager slots at $11 each
5 host story slots for $120 each

All of these offerings will be guided to fit the commission drive's theme. This may take the form of your story specifically ending up in the festival mentioned below or basing it in the town near the woods of the Black Cat's Path. This could be giving things a more general spooky or horror-based vibe. It could even be that your story takes place in the Fall or around Halloween. I'll work with you on this!

You've had themes for the past few years for these, what's this one?

The theme for 2025 is "A Phantasmal Festival", wherein we explore past the town settled against the woods of the Black Cat's Path and head further down the path itself to a massive party taking place on Halloween that's almost like a monster's Coachella or Burning Man. It's taking place in a valley that doesn't seem like it should exist, considering that the landscape doesn't appear anywhere near the town, and is filled with fantastic buildings carrying a seasonal charm to them. You've been guided here by an enigmatic munchkin black cat going by Roil, full name Veins Roiling, or maybe you're a monster that just found yourself here.

You know that everyone around you should be tearing each other apart, but for some reason, anyone who passes from the woods into this area seems to lose that violent instinct. People are behaving each other.

When the sun rises, you know this will all go away, and you'll be in danger, so you have a time limit to enjoy as much as you want. Go, have fun. Make mistakes. Maybe find yourself somewhere you don't want to be if that's your thing...

You could also just have a good time. The dead like to rise out of their coffins around these woods for a reason, after all.

I wanted to do a lighter theme this year since 2025 has been hard on everyone... myself included, it's definitely been a struggle at times. So, no overarching threat to have to worry about! Make this one a chill time if you want! Get absolutely fucked over because you wanted to prod somewhere or something you shouldn't have! Use this as an opportunity to kiss werebears or get stuffed with a fuckton of candy by ghosts! :3

Are you going to be finishing all of these by the end of October? This seems like a lot of work!

Admittedly, no, I think I would die! That, and the long-form and host openings require a bit more time to feasibly do with the time I'm giving people to come up with ideas! I also plan on taking a break for a week at the end of the month in order to celebrate my birthday, so just from sheer time crunch it's not gonna happen.

I can promise one thing: The one-pagers will be done by the end of October. The rest will be done as I'm able to do them.

With that in mind, I would like to state that BCP 2025 will most likely be my last opening for the year, barring emergency openings. If you had anything you wanted to get from me before 2026 that you think could work within the context of this event, now's your chance.

There's still a few prompts that still haven't gone up yet from BCP 2024, are those still coming?

Mmmhmm! BCP 2024 was a fall and winter combo theme and thus there's still a few stories that need to come out in November and December along with some stories that need more polish. Have no fear, I'll be finishing those before the end of the year! You'll actually be seeing some of them, prepped and edited and ready to go, being posted in conjunction with BCP 2025's entries!

That's about it, I'm real excited to see where all y'all's minds go with this one, this opening is always a highlight of my year. I like being able to experiment and bring new things to the table, I always learn new things about what y'all want when I do, so hopefully this variety bag of treats is enticing to your appetite. Enjoy, party, celebrate with me.

We're going to make Halloween last the rest of the year. :3

Thank you all for your attention! <3

I'm gonna be buckling down and getting as much as I can done before October hits, keep watching this space for more updates!

Alright, I'm going to be opening up for two more slots for long-form storm commission before BCP 2025 kicks off!

As a reminder of what this is, these are just story commissions of any size (although, to be honest, if you're asking me right now for anything over thirty pages you might be waiting for a hot minute). Twelve point font, Times New Roman, pages counted on single spacing before being double spaced for ease of reading. Pages themselves are at $13 a page and average out to 800 words per page.

Black Cat's Path is going to be carrying that spooky/fall tint to it with everything I work on, so if you don't want something involving that, the time to jump in on something is now!

This offer lasts until midnight on the 19th, so you've got about eight days not counting today to get your forms in, I'll be choosing then! Go ahead and get stuff together and then toss your ideas my way! <3

I got a little bit of time before a really big opening and those one-pages are gonna get demolished over the next few days...

If I'm to open up again in the interim, what would you all wanna see from me as a writer that you'd wanna comm? What would you be interested in?

ALRIGHT, thank you all for your patience! IT'S FINALLY HERE, THE BEST HALF OF THE YEAR, IT'S FUCKING FALL

With Fall comes the arrival of stories of a macabre and devious nature, carefully crafted since the beginning of the year. The projector is spinning, starting to come to life. Footage that Sidney Sicourt has collected, along with footage of a more esoteric nature, has been spliced together. Black Cat's Path 2024 is being premiered.

Now, thanks to how last year's theme debuted in the winter and was split between winter and fall holidays, posting this year will be a little bit different! There's a couple of these stories that are actually more focused on November and December (there's a gatdamn Santa TF in here, you KNOW I gotta post that around Christmas!) so accordingly this will be split up to help preserve the theme. You're actually going to see some overlap between Black Cat's Path 2024 and 2025 in posting schedule this year.

Until I hit those more wintry stories, though, BCP 2024's stories are going up at a (hopeful) rate of one per day at 3 PM EST. Hope y'all enjoy, there's some VERY fun ones this time around. As a preview, among the many of them there's a spider just absolutely glutting herself on some moviegoers, some very fucked up and mean vampire M/M, someone getting sculpted into a horrible imp, big tiddy chess pieces, and The Midnight Hour.

Also my cat ass gets fucked by vines and I get treefed. You'll see. :3c

That's that. Y'all enjoy, there's a good couple hundred or so pages spread through what I've done for this year so you're in for some treats with your tricks.

You know me, look for a meowbox in a blue pullover and cargo pants!

... or, alternatively, a teal vest, blue shirt, and maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe blue goggles.

>83

EDIT: … alternatively alternatively, if you see a deer with one horn intact and one arm blown off, yeah, say hi too.

oUo

Hey, my long form commissions close up at midnight tonight! If you’re interested in grabbing something from me it’s your last day this time around to do so!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1.....orm?usp=dialog

EDIT: These have closed! Thank you for your interest!

We are schmoovin' through these long-form comms while Megaplex draws closer with one piece left on the plate, so guess what?

That's right. More long-form openings. Come get stories at $13 a page. These slots will stay open until the end of the 23rd. Be ready to pay when you receive your finished work.

Click here for commissioning long-forms. Shabadoo it.

Short single-page stories are also available if you're eager for a cheaper, more focused way to have fun at $11 a page! You can find those over here!

Surprise! I've decided that, while I've filled up on slots for the moment, I'd like to prep for when I'm doing this final opening with work for the meanwhile. Accordingly, before we enter into... well, you know... I'm going to be trying out a new experimental concept with y'all ahead of schedule.

What is it? Well, I've been practicing to try and get my writing length down a bit with the help of  lmann's writing server. You should go check it out if you write yourself, contact them and ask for details! I think I've gotten to the point where I can put that practice to good use. In this case, that means going back to something I've done in the past, captions, sans the requirement for a picture. We're doing one-page short stories here.

You might be asking yourself how much you can get out of me in a single page, and the answer to that is you can get something honed, focused down, really fixated on a single moment or mood. Let's take an example kink of... say... muscle growth. We could focus on the finishing moment when all that change finishes up and the story's subject wants to really test out that strength on something, or the sheer bewildering excitement and pleasure of watching themselves swelling out with new mass, or the sorta mental brutification of all that muscle pulling your character forwards into a huge dull lug. The idea is a sorta "snapshot" hitting what you'd find most sexy to think about.

Accordingly, with this focus, I will also be offering a focused price. You'll be getting on average 800 words for $11 USD. I price my pages on the basis of a single-spaced page in OpenOffice Word, Times New Roman, size 12 lettering.

You are allowed to go for multiple submissions to this, but the goal is more to provide you a smorgasbord of kink fun rather than a build-your-own-story, that's what the long-forms and prompts are for! I am willing to turn this into a caption as well in the way those prompts functioned. If you'd like this to be one, please add the picture you want captioned and we'll work around that. Please also note that TF and weight gain sequences and comics will be truncated.

So, why I’m doing this right now is to continue padding out my wallet for Megaplex (and HHN beyond that). Single page scenes like this will be helpful for managing my flow with Saturdays given over to burning through owed work. I may or may not complete all of this work before the con, we'll have to see, but I can see myself banging these out pretty fast when I have the inspiration. Of course, you are still absolutely entitled to edits and additions to make this feel exactly right, I'm still looking to provide quality here.

Transparency allowed, this has been available for a couple days on my Telegram channel! Please do sign up for it if you wanna catch these opportunities off the bat, FA going down for a few months a while back made it clear to me that I need to keep on making sure I have other ways to reach people!

Do note, also, that this will most likely not be my last comm opening before Megaplex at the end of the month. I am burning rubber over here, and will most likely also be dipping into taking a feeeew more post-Megaplex to ready up for HHN.

Form's open now, come try this idea out with me.

My slots get locked in tonight, if you're interested in getting a story for me, come check out this form here!

We're tearing through these long-forms pretty fast, I'm nearing the finish point on the second one and the first is getting ready to be edited, so I figure that I should open up for wave two of these. Second verse, same as the first, $13 USD a page with an average of 800 words per page. Read my ToS and make sure I can do what you want, be ready to pay when you receive your finished work.

We're opening for two slots again, stories will be chosen on the 8th 10th.

Click here for the submission form.

Come get y'all juice.

EDIT: Actually, y'all should get a bit more time to figure out what you want, we're extending this opening until the 10th. :3

Hey y’all, still on my internet sabbatical, but I wanted to reach out and give y’all good news! We’re about to hit single digits on BCP stories, with only ten left as of today! Hell yeah, it’s looking like these’ll be posted during the Fall season!

I’m going to be juggling my time over the next few months to allow for getting these, YCHs, and other owed work finished. As part of this, though, I need to open for some longform commissions in order to prep for Megaplex.

If you need a reminder of what longform commissions are, these are regular-ass writing commissions, what you think of when you're grabbing a story from someone. You give me an idea and page count of what you want, and I write it for you.

My rates are $13 USD per page, with an average of 800 words per page. If you are comming me for the first time, you pay at the halfway mark. Read my ToS for what I can and can't do for you, come up with an idea, and

The name of the game here is keeping these to short openings in order to keep room clear for finishing other work. Ergo, you have until Tuesday to get a form in, at which point I will be choosing ideas to fill two slots. I may pick to fill one of those slots earlier depending on if I vibe hard enough with an idea. I'm looking to keep delivery on this pretty tight, please be ready to pay when you receive your finished story, I need to get reg money together like now. Do not worry if you aren't picked, I plan to re-up repeatedly on slot openings until...

Well, we're past the 4th of July. You know what's up.

Anyways, slots are open as soon as you see this! Come check it out!

EDIT: We're closed over here! People that have been picked will be contacted soon!

As a heads up, I'll be unavailable for a while when June 5th hits, as I'll be taking a sabbatical from the internet in order to play Deltarune. Thanks for your understanding!

With fourteen prompts left and us being past Halfway to Halloween, I think we should talk about what BCP 2025 is looking like in my head.

I'd like to mix things up a bit this year, as I've continued doing with these. This is still incredibly liable to change. You might actually see some of these potential options get dropped depending on interest and if I have the stamina to go through them. You might just see me say "long forms only, all Halloweens, Final Destination." I'm impulsive as balls, y'alls.

So, tentatively (and this number might also drop), I'd like to do another 31 slot split. It's seasonal, it makes sense! I'd just also like to mingle more things than prompts in here. Prompts are fun as hell, it's fun to work with them, but I need to be nice to me too so I have to give them (mostly) a break.

We'll still have them, though, if nothing changes. Ten prompts. They're fun and thematic! I like doing them!

I just also wanna branch out a little bit... and I don't think you're gonna mind what I'm branching out into. We'll also be opening for ten long-form commissions! Long-forms are what your typical story commission looks like when you think of getting a story commission, as a reminder. I write you a story and you pay per page.

There'll also be what I'm calling "template stories". There'll be five slots of these. Essentially, these template stories will follow the same format with a transformation focus.

Sounds like a YCH? Important distinctions here! I don't wanna open for YCHs when I already owe people and am fulfilling those. It feels wrong to me. Ergo... these will not be pay-upfront like a YCH. These will be pay on satisfaction like the prompts and long-forms. YCHs also tend to be pretty flexible in terms of story elements, whereas here we'll be focused on TF with a particular trigger and these'll be grounded in the event itself. Think of these more as the midpoint between a prompt and a long-form. Fixed price, fixed elements, fixed start, freedom past that. As you can see, there's a lot here that I'm playing around with, so out of these I'd say this is the format that's most likely to see changes before BCP 2025 goes live.

So, what's left here? Another experimental option. Cashmere's been running a writing group with weekly creative prompts that's been helping me hone more focused bite-sized pieces... and y'know, maybe we can try providing the fruits of my training to y'all too. I'm considering providing six slots of short, short ass single page pieces. These would be average 800 - 900 words. Snippets. Flashes of horny. Limited as much as I can. You can maybe call them word sketches? It's something to try!

These'll all fall under a new theme for the year along with a new focal character (hint hint on the template stories lmao) . Less story driven, though there'll be an intro and outro for this one as well. One of the main problems I bumped into in terms of The Camera's Eye, last year's BCP, was that the overarching storyline didn't really give y'all a space to play around in as much as I'd hope. I'd like to fix that!

I'll keep thinking on this while I keep on getting BCP 2024 raring to go, y'all enjoy the lead-up. There's a party around the corner.

Who could ask for more?

Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door.

Happy to announce that we’re halfway through BC’s prompts! I’d tentatively like to start posting in May or June since, y’know, halfway to Halloween and all…

Yeah this one's actually pretty good.

Hey hey, y'all! We've officially completed prompt ten of thirty four, and as you can guess,.. yeah, I'm putting my whole pussy into this work.

I'm sure many of y'all have noticed a phenomenon I like to refer to as being unable to drive 55. You people have fucking good ideas... and I'm unwilling to let an idea be unfinished. I'll keep going and going on it... and I think with that in mind it might be time to attempt rejiggering the amount of work that these prompts constitute as a baseline. I think that, at the very least, it might be more realistic to have these prompts at five pages now when I open for them next time!

With that in mind, I'd also be raising the prices to $60. Still a discount from what it'd be priced at just as a regular commission. What do you all think? Would this be a good idea, or should I stick with what I've got?

FA's giving me trouble when it comes to uploading the advert, but Giallo, Splatterpunk, and Impaling have been replaced with Psychological, Gothic, and Skinsuit!

If you'd like a fun, kinky three page short story, click through here!

As a heads up, all current forms have been processed and there's still a couple slots open, seven actually! I'll be posting up an updated version of the prompt list tomorrow showcasing what's left.

Some of the more untouched prompts are being retooled in a way that might be more accommodating for kink ideas, so there will be new prompts on here! If you haven't jumped in yet, or have only got one or two prompts and want in on more, check a look at my page on FA around 3 PM EST!

34 prompts. Three page stories. $35 USD each.

Get ready to become the star of a story that you never imagined in your wildest nightmares.

Go here for more details.

Go here to jump in on prompts.

As a heads up to everyone, I'll be opening for a fuckton of prompt slots to be started in January tomorrow. These'll be "Pay When Completed". No money will be taken until you have a finished and satisfied product.

Keep your eyes open here. I've got a bunch of fun ones this year. :3c

Something might be concluding and something might be beginning very soon. Something that might have gotten passed by a few months ago.

So, uhh... November 20th, right? 😩

Time management is not my best skill. Hypnovember is probably happening in early 2025, apologies. I still fully intend on opening for them, there's a few prompt lists out there I'd love to do, it's just gonna take me a while to get there. Also, I really need to be a bit sane with what I'm doing in regards to owed work. People be waiting for stuff and I've got to keep mindful about that.

I fully intend to open for prompts, but not before I finish up more of what's on my plate right now. Accordingly, the actual finishing point for them is gonna most likely be some time in December. All I wanted to say, just wanted to give a heads up so people can plan accordingly. I wanna at least get one big prompt spree in this year!

As you can see, BCP is not happening this month. ; u; I lost a bit too many days to recovery that I could have used on getting YCHs and edits done. I’m going to be putting my focus on Hypnovember considering I don’t feel like I’d have enough lead-up time to do BCP 2024 justice this year.

Accordingly, I’m going to need to take juuuust a few comms in order to keep myself rolling until Hypnovember kicks off, kind of a “grease the wheels” type deal. Not a lot, I’m thinking that I’m looking at maybe four or three or so. These will be normal commissions, no special themes or anything down that line. Please read my ToS before you continue on to put in for ideas.

This will not be first-come first-serve or have a set end date, but something more in the sense of me grabbing ideas to do that feel right. Essentially, this closes when I’m ready for it to be finished.

As a reminder, prices are $13 USD per page, single spaced Times New Roman at 12 point, with an average of 800 words per page. If you’re commissioning me for the first time, you’ll be paying at the halfway marker. You can kinda get a sense of how big things are going to be depending on the number of kinks that you want and how you structure your ideas. One sex scene with a lead-up is going to be shorter than two people TFing and then infecting other people, for example!

If you’re interested in grabbing some work from me, send an idea over here and I’ll get with you if I’m up for writing for you.

On the matter of keeping clarity on my current YCH status, I’ve got two left: the big one with multiple people, and GOBLIN MODE. The barbarian and second Critcon ones are in the process of being edited right now, with the former probably going up soon, and I’m writing the big one right now as you’re reading this!

EDIT: Decided to be fair to close this since I'm full the hell up on stuff, thank you for your interest!
