To readers and writers...
General | Posted 16 years agoThis journal will be about NaNoWriMo or the National Novel Writing Month.
Quite simply it's an annual event where people who participate try to write a 50.000 word novel in one month's time.
I'm not a writer myself (thank goodness, right?) but I would want to point your attention to someone who IS participating. The event has started less then a week ago, so you can still start reading and catch up in time to follow as the novel progresses.
So why don't you do me a favor and check out balitiger23's Novel?
It's quite unlike something you may have read before and does require a bit of imagination to fully understand the world. It's not difficult though, only different.
As the story progresses she'll probably upload some more drawing so it'll be easier to visually interpret the story. There's already one drawing up, showing the protagonist and antagonist of the story. Along with that, her latest journal is a huuuuuge FAQ of sorts that'll help you understand the world.
Now, off you go then.
Pay
balitiger23 a visit and make sure to read her novel which can be found here: http://worldofasprea.livejournal.com/
Additional information about the event itself can be found on the official site: http://www.nanowrimo.org/

Furry meme...
General | Posted 16 years agoJoinked from 
ECMajor
*Are you a furry?
I'm a xenomorph. no fur to see here, people.
*If you have a Spouse/SO - Is he/she a furry too?
Lolno
*How long have you been in the community?
Since 2007
*How did you find furry?
Started out when watching a webcomic and finding a link to an oekaki where people were drawing mostly catgirls and similar... uhm... creations. Eventually ended up here and after spending some time at DA.
*What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
If there ever was one, I've probably forgotten. Memory issues, you see?
*What's Furry to you?
Good question to ask a xeno. Next.
*What are your favorite aspects of our community?
The art... well, a part of it.
*Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
Nope.
*What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
The negative image a few 'tards give the whole lot... though that's the issue with most things nowadays.
*How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
There are idiots all over the world, the internet isn't an exception.
*How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
ECMajor copypaste: I *shrug*.
*We all know furries have alot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
Meh.
Personal
*What is/are your fursona(s)?
Xenosona, please. And it's a Praetorian.
*Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
Nope.
*If you could magically morph into yourfursona Xenosona would you?
Sure. Can only improve from what I'm now.
*What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
None.
*Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
Anthro/Feral, I suppose.
*Are you a fursuiter?
If yes, how many do you own?
If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
No and No, for the simple reason that a xenosuit I'd be willing to wear is simply impossible to make/afford.
*How many of your friends are furry?
Hard to tell... I've got a hard time defining 'friends'. Things like that take time.
*How many pets do you own, if any?
Two: a cat and a dog.
*Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
Music, games, stuff...
*Are you confident enough in yourself to say that you're a fur, no matter what the media says?
Xeno.
Meatups
*Do you attend any cons?
If no, would you attend any cons?
If yes, which cons have you been to?
Just one for now.
*Do you go to local meetups(bowling, public outings...etc)?
No. Never again, this country's furry population isn't suited for me.
*Have you ever attended a furry party?
-If no, would you attend one?
No, never will.
Online
*Have you ever met up with a fur you talked to online?
Sure.
*What furry websites do you attend?
This one.
*What non furry websites do you frequent?
Too many to write down. Can't be bothered.
*Has the fandom done anything for you that you're thankful for? Has it taught you anything or brought you anything you treasure greatly?

District 9... and some questions.
General | Posted 16 years agoIt's been a very long wait for me but I finally got to see the movie. Since it was released a week ago, it was sooo tempting to catch a stream or torrent and just watch it with whatever crappy subtitles they could come up with.
Along with the wait, it wasn't easy to ignore all the reviews and previews and spoilers being flung around the net.Or at least the places I browse...
Have to say I enjoy it from start to finish, with the exception of the jerkwad next to me who sat up in his chair a few times, was 'eating' with his mouth open and drinking a bucket of coke with a straw.
Now for the question part.
RECOMMEND/SUGGEST ME SOME MOVIES!! D:
Currently I'm planning to go see these movies:
-Final Destination 4 (sometime this week)
-Gamer (sometimes this week or the next)
-Surrogates (in 2 weeks)
-2012 (November)
-Avatar(December)
-Zombieland(?)
-Pandorum(?)
-... (Which movies worth watching am I missing still? Halp!)

New AIM + MSN!
General | Posted 16 years agoLike the title says, I've got a new MSN and AIM so if you wanna add me, go right ahead.
There's somethings I want to say first though.I suppose you can call it a rule.
When you add me: Don't try to yiff my leg. This'll be your one way ticket to my banlist.
Other then that, I'm not a very talky person at first, so do give me some time to get to know you a bit, yes? :3
MSN: Ex3quias@hotmail.com
AIM: Ex3quias note me if you wish to contact me through this. slightly inactive atm.
Looking forward to talk to you people. I'll be online starting monday evening.
Since I live in Europe that's GMT+1 or 2 or something. Too lazy to check, do that math yourself. :p

Taking a break + Anthrocon 2010?
General | Posted 16 years agoI've been pretty lazy with uploading/drawing more art and have decided to take a break.
Scribbling for hours and getting nothing done ain't exactly fun, so for the next few days I'm gonna take it slow. Real slow.
My guess is that sometime next week I'll be over this mini artblock thing. At least, that's what I hope.
It's maybe because my job's being a bitch and financially I received a pretty big setback just recently.
BUT all that crap aside, I'd say things are going better then the last few years so I can't really complain much. :3
On another note: Is anyone (already) planning to attend AC2010?
I went this year but my roomies were spending most of the time selling their stuff in Artist's Alley.
Since I'm anything but a social butterfly, I've spend most of the time walking around on my own.
Sure it was fun and I'm definitely going back, but it would be more fun if I can hang out with some people next time.
Assuming I get myself a room, is anyone willing to tag along? I know it's still a long time 'till AC2010 and people may die, building could collapse, planes can crash, the pole ice will melt and flood coastal cities, tectonic plates could go bonkers and rape the shit out of the landscape, dormant volancos can become active, hurricanes may wipe a few cities off the face of the earth, meteors and comets can play snooker with out solar system and the sun may just tell us all to GTFO and go supernova for no reason other then to piss us off.
Okay, the last part is shit since the Sun doesn't have enough mass to go supernova but instead will turn into a red giant in about 5 billion years, burn all the planets around it (yes, Earth included) and finally collapse to become a white dwarf.
Either way.. Assuming you're an artist I really like, I may just have an interesting offer for you concerning the room's price. :p
And if not, you're still welcome to tag along. Of course, this is all still very hypothetically and assuming none of the events described above happen, something else will. Murphy's law, y'know?

-http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2541355/ the expression on his face is well done. One of my favorite drawings in your gallery; you should color and line your drawings more often.

Request a Xeno... or something? [Closed!]
General | Posted 16 years agoYeah... I'm kinda out of ideas for now, so let's keep things simple.
If you wanna request a xeno or something, go ahead and post a message.
You can obviously request something else, but I'm not good at drawing regular anthro characters. If I get a lot of requests (like 2 or more), it may take a while before I can post them. At times I'm the equivalent of a sloth on Valium, so excuse any delays. :p
Alsoooo... I can deal with more mature themes, but it all depends on my preferences.
I'm picky, I know... But I won't draw things I don't like or can't due to the limitations of my skills. ._.
I'll be honest: the chance of me drawing porn is low.
As stated before, my skill/ knowledge at drawing anatomy is low and multiple character interaction isn't something I've mastered just yet.
Sorry if that's disappointing... but I'll only draw what I'm comfy with.
EDIT:
I'm closing this for now. X_x
Seriously, I had HOPED I'd get one or two requests, but this many... holy shit, I wasn't prepared for this. One thing's for sure... I won't be bored anytime soon. :3

Jack… Jack… He's a psycho maniac!
General | Posted 16 years agoSo today I had the stupid idea to buy a Wii and Madworld.
And guess what?
I did!
So when I get home in a few hours, I'll probably spend the rest of the evening killing, breaking, chopping, slicing and impaling people for no other reason then having some brainless fun.
Also bought that game with the spider and scorpion stuff. Deadly Creatures.
So why a Wii? Just for those games?
-No, I actually wanted it for a game that'll be released sometime next year: Monster Hunter Tri.
Monstah Huntrr is loev <3
...Despite the fact I get my ass handed to me most of the time. Fuck I hate the White Monoblos and Shogun Ceanataur.
;-;
Anyone ever done something randomly stupid you'll know you regret but honestly don't give a flying shit about?
Do tell.
I'm curious. :3

General | Posted 16 years agoI never knew people at FA actually like Xenomorphs.
Always thought you were all hardcore furries, but here I notice that people actually like my silly drawings. It feels like all kinds of crazy I can't understand or describe, but it feels good. Oh yes, it does.
If anyone has ideas, suggestion or whatever... feel free to post.
I can always use a fresh look on things. :D
Again, a friggin' huge thank you to everyone.
This really means a lot to me. ;__;

General | Posted 16 years agoSince I'm back in the land of the living (for now), I guess I should warn the few people on my watch list that there's a pretty big chance I'll start dumping all kinds of random stuff on my FA.
With this, consider yourself warned. :3
Love,
Ex.

If I don't return because my plane went for a dive in the Atlantic after a flock of suicidal birds clogged up the engines, avenge my death.
Kind regards,
