Status update on Adopted by a Werewolf
General | Posted 2 years agoSo no I have not forgotten about it. I'm still working on it. I've actually finished the first rough draft for chapters 4 and 5. I've started rough draft 2 of chapter 4, which is really just reading rough draft 1 and making edits. Since rough draft 4 kind of ends on a bit of an emotional cliffhanger, i didn't want there to be a huge amount of time between publishing the two chapters. On top of that, I'm also getting a sleep study and a psych evaluation done to see if I have sleep apnea and ADHD. So it's been a busy week. As always, if you enjoy my stories, the best thing you can do is leave a comment. I love seeing them. I don't mind answering questions either as long as they aren't spoiler questions. Anyway, hopefully will have a new chapter out soon.
Book Review Wolfsong (Green Creek Book 1 of 4) by T.J. Kl...
General | Posted 3 years agoTLDR go read this book. Seriously. Just go. Run to your local Barnes and Noble or Amazon and just buy it.
So the whole reason I even found out about the Furry Fandom is because of my love for Werewolves as a teenager. Werewolves are my jam. Gay werewolves are my peanut butter. There's one problem.
Most gay werewolf fiction is written by women. That on it's own is not a bad thing. But it also involves a lot of M-Preg. I'm not going to kink shame people who are into that but it's frustrating that the majority of gay werewolf fiction is all m-preg stuff. I get that the omega verse is popular but it gets old.
So when I realized this new author I was getting into had written a gay werewolf book, i was like fuck yeah. So I downloaded it and now Listened to the whole series audiobook style multiple times. I've listened to all 4 books at least 4 times. I have a problem.
Anyway, so the first book centers around Oxnard (Ox) Matheson. The book starts when Ox is a kid and he catches his dad packing to leave. The dad tells Ox he regrets everything in his life except Ox. He tells Ox he's a good kid even though he's a bit dumb and then leaves to never return. The next scene is Ox calling a guy named Gordo. Gordo is super important. We love Gordo. He's the asshole with a heart of gold. Gordo owns a garage in town that Ox's dad worked at. Ox calls Gordo and basically begs him for a job even though he's underage because they might loose the house otherwise. Gordo and his mom work out a deal where he can work for Gordo under the table and Gordo will pay his mom to help keep the bills up. It's hinted that Gordo pays Ox way more than he should so all the bills are caught up in a couple of months. Gordo also has a tendency to under charge for services if he knows his customer can't afford it. On top of that, also working for Gordo is Tanner, Chris and Rico. We also love these three because they are the comedic trio that keeps things light. The auto garage gang along with Ox's mom become his sort of family, helping him to deal with life and all that as he grows older.
Some weird stuff happens, like a mysterious creature that growls at him in the forest before running away and meeting a weird dude named Mark Bennet who scents the air a lot. But the big event is when he turns 16, he runs into a small boy who immediately takes a liking to him and starts asking why he smells like candy canes and pinecones. and epic and awesome. This is when Ox is introduced to the Bennet family. And as he gets closer to this family, he is told that the boy, his name is Joe, hadn't said anything for 15 months before meeting Ox that day because he was kidnapped and tortured.
I won't go into too much further detail because I don't want to spoil it. But this story has a lot of angst for a bit. So be prepared for that. There are two sex scenes at the end of the book when ox is in his mid 20's. But I love this book. With every fiber of my being. If you're a fan of found families, werewolves, a little bit of well deserved angst in the middle and a lot of random cuddling, then you will love this book. I also highly recommend the other books in the series as well. Also TJ Klung's other books are awesome too. They are for the most part queer supernatural stories. If you like more comedy themed books, the Tales from Verenia series is hilarious. These books make me cry happy tears and are just great examples of queer books written by queer people.

Book Review: Animorphs Book 1: The Invasion
General | Posted 3 years agoTLDR version: Fun book but none of these characters are getting away from this without some serious therapy needs.
So Animorphs is one of those books that I was the perfect age to read as a kid. Only problem is my reading skills as a child weren’t the best and I never made it past the early couple of books. Now that these books seem to be trending (due to someone revealing all the traumatic stuff that goes down) it seemed like the perfect time to read them. Now that I’m an adult who has much better reading skills, I finished the first book in two days while reading between customers at my day job. So I think it’s safe to say I won’t be having the same issues.
So for those who don’t know, Animorphs is a book about five middle/junior high school students who are at the mall on a Friday night and on their way home, decide to cut through an abandoned construction site. While there, they suddenly are visited by an extraterrestrial creature in a spaceship. The alien is called an andelight, looks like a blue centaur with a scorpion tail. Plenty of drawings online if you want to know what it looks like. Anyway, said creature tells them that humanity is being invaded by body snatching slugs called Yuurks and that he tried to defend the planet, failed and is dying.
He then proceeds to use a blue cube to give them all the power to absorb the DNA of any animal they touch and then morph into said animal. However if they do not morph back to their original form in under 2 hours, the morph remains permanent. Shortly after the alien gives them the power, they have to hide because the bad guy spaceships come and another andelite, this one under the control of a Yuurk and is named Visser Three, steps out of the bad guy spaceship, morphs into a giant alien monster and rips the friendly andelight apart. In front of these kids. Did I mention the andelight is psychic and the children hear his dying screams in their heads?
This is why the Animorph books are infamous. You come for the weird cover of the book of the boy slowly morphing into a lizard and stay for the traumatized child soldiers, body horror and war crimes.
Anyway, the five kids are as follows. Jake, the main narrator for this book and the guy that for whatever reason, everyone looks towards as a de facto leader. Marco, Jake’s best friend and the guy who seems to be there to tell everyone what a terrible idea it is that they are thinking about fighting an alien race. Rachel, Jake’s cousin. She’s not really given much description in this book beyond being really self confident and also tends to break out into cursing when she’s pissed. Since this is a children’s book, the cursing is not actually said on page but is implied. Cassie, the flower child whose mom and dad are veterinarians and has way more access to deadly animals then any child should. And lastly Tobias, the awkward bullied kid who hangs out because Jake saved him from bullies once and has a terrible home life. CHILDREN'S BOOK EVERYBODY!
Anyway, so the kids have to make a daring escape after being chased by Hork-Bjars (race of scary looking aliens that are apparently peacful and are just enslaved by the Yuurks) and Taxxon (weird centipede monsters that like to eat anything and are allied witht the Yuurks of their own free will). They escape and the next day start talking about what to do. Jake is on the fence. Marucs is against it because he’s afraid if he dies, his father will have no will to live. Long story, mom died two years ago and now Marcu’s dad is in a deep depression and has trouble holding down work. Tobias is all for it because of awesome morphing powers that let him get away from his own depressing existence and he had some sort of weird connection with the andelight before it died. The girls are leaning towards yes. But then Jake finds out his brother is actually a controller, that’s the name given to people who are being controlled by Yeerks, and that tips Jake into wanting to fight.
The group goes to this weird cult thing that is secretly a Yuurk recruitment/abduction trap that the Yuurks run disguised as a youth group and Jake uses his morph powers to turn into the family dog and sneak up on the secret meeting. Finds out the Vice Principle is a controller Then he hears that his brother suspects him of being at the crash site and that they may need to kill him. So that’s more trauma.
Then Jake morphs into a lizard to eavesdrop on his vice principal and discovers the site of the Yeerk Pool. Yeerks have to leave their host body once every three days to recharge in these pools or they will die.
Then they go to the zoo and get some better morphs to fight. Then Cassie gets kidnapped and is about to be infected by a Yeerk but then the kids come to save the day with their super awesome battle morphs. Visser Three shows up and they fight. Jake temporarily frees his brother but he gets recaptured and then they escape. But at the last scene in the book, Tobias shows up in his hawk form and reveals he spent more than two hours as a hawk and is now stuck.
Overall....the book is entertaining. I can see why they are fondly remembered. But my god, the amount of torture these kids are put through just in book one is immense. I’ve read spoilers for the later books so I know it's only going to get worse. There are a few things that don’t make sense. During the scene where they are running away after gaining morphing powers, Jake is running through the half finished building and wakes up a homeless man. But how did the homeless man not wake up from the destruction of a spaceship literally right next to his sleeping spot. Also why is everyone so hung up on Jake being the leader. I can understand why Tobias would, guy kind of hero worships Jake. But Marcus is constantly questioning him the entire book. And Rachel and Cassie just seem to decide to make Jake the decision maker.
Beyond those small gripes though, it was fun. Watching children fight for their lives is always a delight. That was a joke. Protect the children. I’ll continue reading for now and let you know what I think of Book 2.

Guess I'm a kinky.
General | Posted 3 years agoSo I got bored and ended up taking a BDSM test. Apparently I have a few kinks I was not aware of....here are the results.
== Results from bdsmtest.org ==
100% Ageplayer
98% Boy/Girl
96% Rope bunny
96% Primal (Prey)
94% Brat
94% Voyeur
93% Switch
92% Pet
89% Dominant
88% Experimentalist
85% Submissive
84% Exhibitionist
79% Primal (Hunter)
79% Non-monogamist
78% Rigger

67% Degrader
66% Daddy/Mommy
56% Slave
48% Sadist
31% Vanilla
29% Master/Mistress
19% Masochist
The test didn't go over the more....specific stuff but more general BDSM but was not aware that I was into ageplay so much. Apparently I might need a daddy. Granted that makes sense because real parents sucked but I'm sure that's something my councilor can sort through. After all, that's why I pay him.

Guess I really should write in this thing.
General | Posted 9 years agoDear Journal.
It has been an interesting last few months. Lately, I find myself both conning out of my shell as well as retracting back in at the same time.
I volunteered for the first time in like... ever. That was interesting. I feel good about it. But at the same time, I feel like it's a turning point in my life. Like I'm finally becoming an adult. Side note don't think about how sad of a statement that is given the fact that I'm turning 28 next week.

Y!Gallery can burn in hell!
General | Posted 15 years agoSo I recently had a run in with the mods at Y!galler.com. Basically what happened was I used a thumbnail for my story that was against there user agreement rules. At the time of using it I didn't realize it was against the rules but hey, at least they only gave me a warning. I then changed the thumbnail to something that would be more appropriate and followed the rules. I attempted to log on today only to find that my account has been suspended.
WHAT THE CRAP!
Come on Y!gallery, i followed your rules. What the hell do you want from me. I'm not even sure if I even want to fight this battle because quite franks y!gallery ain't that great of a site anyway.
My account was Alternate Trigger. I'm not sure if i'm ever going to use it again though, let alone go to y!gallery ever again.
