Well, I've been kinda off-platform for a bit since I've been burnt out, and just stressed from work, as well as having my computer in the shop two weeks in a row. The first time was absolutely my mistake, spilling a drink on my computer, followed by my display just kinda... going wonky. My computer (so far) seems to finally be in fully working order, with no more issues, so I'm finally getting back to work on my projects!

My old upload schedule is loooong gone, and I'm sure few really noticed it, but I will be trying to post more old stories. As for commissions; I intend to do 1000-2000 word flash-fiction only, as I don't have the mental bandwidth between work and personal projects to squeeze in 10000-50000-word megaprojects that everyone seems so fascinated with, and I'm not some wanker willing to sell-out my soul to AI to meet a word count target. I just want to write short, fun, flash-in-the-pan fiction. Maybe do some doodles, too!

One more thing: I'm thinking I might post some of my personal experimental/abstract art here, too, since I've been trying more graphical art styles than pixel art. I don't really draw characters or anything other than stick figures, as I struggle to understand the shape of things, but I do some other things, such as glitching digital art and photography together, making odd multimedia experimental works.

That's right, your girl, your mane mare for kinky text, is a moron, who decided her vitamin water belonged right under her snout for easy access, whilst being legally blind! Guess who spilled a good mawful of that succulent vitamin water *RIGHT* on her overpriced macintosh laptop... That's right! It's me!

Expect delayed uploads til it's fixed; repair shop says the parts should be in by Friday so I might be able to cook up some sort of erotic pony fuckfest for you horny hornsters soon enough.

I disappeared for like... two months there. Sorry about that! I kept catching colds and whatever else since the weather had been pretty on-and-off hot and cold in my region, and work just kept getting in the way of my upload schedule. My 'scheduled' releases are probably a bad idea in the first place, and from now on, I'll make an effort to release one piece of media a week, minimum, no matter the day. (Yes, I completely stopped uploading mostly due to it not being Sunday... I definitely take schedules seriously!)

Now, I have released music on this account too! I intend to re-rebrand this account under my new OC; Luma Lunuit, a librarian, since that's basically what my works boil down to. I will also be posting more types of media, such as music, sketches, and anything else I find interesting enough to share. (Though, I'll be aiming to avoid live photography!) One more branch of content I seek to enter again is the latex/vinyl creak audio (AKA ASMR for those of you who prefer that terminology!) So stay tuned, and find your best headphones!

I have a few projects to announce/re-announce; starting off with my main webpage, where I keep most of my media linked, https://finder.crystalcraftstudios.ca/ . This website is my sort of resource-hub for my projects. I have also been working on a new website, and am currently in the works of trying to figure out the best way to host some NSFW content, without relying on some seedy NSFW website, or an unstable project. This would include things along the lines of my old inflatable dress inflation videos, and any of the strange NSFW things I make out of boredom and intrigue. Some of this would fit into this website, but video is still not something that FA supports, and YouTube struck my videos down very quickly (As they had right to do!)

Another thing I am working on is a little Rust script to take any input file, and "mosh" it into a WAV file. I've been learning Rust by working on this, and intend to make it a sort of companion tool for wavetable synthesis. I primarily have been using this tool to turn the ISO for Ubuntu Server into some really interesting retro e-organs, and other FM-style sounds. Somehow, the file headers and patterns in data just come out so interesting. I have to do more research and development before I'm ready to release Mosher, but I'll be working on that in the background!

I've also been working on some more stories! I think the next piece I will post is one of my 2025 stories, rather than continuing with uploading the earliest first, as I'd really like to have some examples of my current work on my page, and some of my non-NSFW writing. I intend to upkeep my current upload schedule, although, I may post other things between stories, too.

One final note. I intend to push myself to write at least one story a week, as my current writing schedule has been awful, to say the least. If you're interested in having flash-fiction -- less than 1000 words -- written for you, please reach out!

Ok! I am thinking of opening up for 1-2 commissions, although, my pricing is not going to be too low. Currently, I will be using an exponential scale by word, as, I really don't have the time, nor energy between a full-time job, writing multiple websites, writing software, and music production to dedicate enough hours of my life to writing commissioned stories to make it worthwhile at a lower rate. I will be releasing a pricing estimator on one of my websites soonish, as soon as I figure out how to translate spreadsheet to JavaScript. Please note, if I do take these writing commissions, I will be VERY selective, and will try to stick to primarily latex/transformation/hypnosis/transgender/anthro topics, and will avoid many topics. I will compile a list of things I'm willing to write, things I will write for an additional fee, and things that I will absolutely never write. If you're interested in my writing, please note me!

Now, on my upload schedule. I plan to release 1 of my backlogged stories per week. So far, I've gone through my 2020 writings I am able to publicly post, and am chipping away at my 2021 writings. I am going through my fileserver to look for any old writing I might have. I will be disclosing whether it is a personal story, or if it is commissioned in the description!

A few more things on my writing; if you're interested in seeing my modern works, let me know, I can shift my schedule to show some of my newer works first. Currently, it'll be about 2 months before my 2024 writings start getting posted. I also might, at some point, put some discount codes on my websites, when I'm a bit more set-up for writing. My pricing currently ranges from about $0.03USD per word, for flash-fiction (up to 1k words), and, if you happen to want up to my hard-cap of 10k words, you'll be paying an extreme premium of $0.12USD per word, in most cases. This is to heavily encourage faster writing, since anything over 5k words is just exhausting for me to write. I hope this clears up some confusion I have noticed in my pricing!

Well, I'm a little behind schedule, but no matter! I've reformatted all of my old stories in MS Word (Yuck!) and have even been experimenting with further editors that are a little less AI-rubbish-injected. (Hard to find these days, unfortunately.) Although, at this rate, I might just be writing my own super simple text editor again, and just calling it a day. Either that, or I'll fully move my writing to emacs in the terminal, since it works fine enough! I've been trying Author on Mac and it's great, except it still has AI rubbish integrated, though, it's quite easy to opt out, unlike macOS itself (Yuck, yuck, yuck!) Now, I'm actually thinking of moving to Asahi linux, when it becomes available on my particular model of MacBook Pro, but I might just start working off of a Fedora ARM VM, since my machine is just beefy enough for a decent VM.

Anyhow, back to the account-moving; I'm starting out with re-posting my older writing, and will work up to the newer stuff! I'm also working on some FiM fan stories, too, that extend quite a bit off of lore. I'll bet you couldn't begin to guess I like My Little Pony! Anyhow, I'll also be writing more about the lore of my BLISS:CORE project, too, and working on the software side of it, too, as my schedule allows. My job just has the tendency to draw 200% of my fucks to give in a week, and it takes me all weekend to regenerate them. So keep your ears open, and expect more from me! I shall post music here, too, when I have more media to share!

It is 2025, and I feel it is time I have a fresh start on this platform; I'm not committing to making more content faster, since I have been making some content, but just haven't posted. My old profiles were far too messy to be confident on, but I am making an effort to producing a better platform to promote my writing on. The goal with this new account is to publish my writing, my music, and show off my websites. This is more of my portfolio, when my other account acts as more of a personal dumping ground.

Goals in January 2025: Finish re-formatting my earlier writing, revise it all, edit and finalize the rough drafts, and publish it here. I currently have about 10 documents nearly prepared to post. I also hope to make each a special icon, sticking to a pixel art style. I also intend to stick to a 1 story a month goal, minimum, just to ensure my writing skills don't get too rusty. I plan to be more interactive on this refresh of my platform.

As for my rebranding, I am finally stepping away from all of my old account names, as there has been some painful history on each of them, and I seek to move past such. I don't intend to use this account for socialization very much, but to post my works, and encourage critique.

I highly encourage giving me critique and criticism on my writing, I don't care if it is a 4 year old document I wrote, I desperately want any feedback I can get. I'm no expert perfect artist, and I want to improve, rather than stagnating. Please, if you see something bad or in need of fixing in my works, do not hesitate to let me know! I cannot teach myself everything there is to know about writing, after all!

Finally, as for timeline on posting; I plan to post a document within the next 1-2 days, once I'm done revision. If someone somehow notices this account before then, well, I'll be impressed, especially due to my limited following in the past.
