So I very rarely put out journals, that is to be known and even expected at this point from my followers. I am putting this out though as I sit in my hotel room here. The convention is over, and honestly, I don't know. I heard about post-con depression and how furry conventions are, and I never really took those super seriously, maybe because I never had a frame of reference for them before. I was always this shy, nervous wreck of a person growing up, and I wasn't exactly sure what to think of the fandom going forward considering some of my experiences.

This con, I don't know, there was something magical about it, and I never refer to anything like that. I've heard people say that it's been chill or whatever, but this felt almost euphoric. Like, it's hard to describe the whirlwind of emotions that I am feeling right now. I really don't know. Maybe it was the first time in a long time I've allowed myself to be vulnerable, I don't know. This literally felt like something that I needed, and it's honestly kind of sad that it's over. I would like to hear people's thoughts about this. Has something similar happened to them with their first con?

Hey there everyone. Sorry about the long delay with a new journal. I don't post on here a lot anymore because I am involved with larger projects nowadays. If you guys want to see the new stuff I am working on, give me a follow over on Twitter:

Hey there everyone, it has been a chaotic several months, but I. Am. Back!

So I think that there are a few updates that my infinitely patient followers should know about:

1. I'm still around. Like what is the deal with people not hearing from me for a day and suddenly thinking I fucking died? That has to be one of the great mysteries of my life. But I have had mostly the whole COVID-19 experience.

2. I have been busy. I worked on Familiar Travels, :gillpanda: did the character artwork for that, and I wrote a little bit (I don't like to brag, but feel free to ask me what I wrote!), and a few other projects at Halftone Studios; I should keep my lips sealed about those though, wouldn't want to spoil any appetites *wink wink nudge nudge*. I also have been participating in a charity anthology that should hit Amazon store shelves in time for the holidays, whether that's Festivus, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Saturnalia, Yule, the Winter Solstice, whatever!

3. Expect to see more stuff from me on here too! It seems that my macro and transformation stuff on here seems to be wildly popular, moreso than even muscular art of my character Jia. Expect to see more stuff like that on here from me.

Anywho, feel free to reach out to me on here, Discord, Second Life, or Twitter. I'm a shark, but I don't bite.

Hey there everyone, it's be, your friendly neighborhood sandbar shark again. So with everything going on, I decided that it will be a good time to encourage commissions again. Prices are $10 per 1000 words flat, and I have 4 slots open. Feel free to DM me on here or over Discord for more information.

1. Private commission. Payment received, in progress

Hello and welcome once again to an annual update on the state of the channel (and the state of me personally).

Not much has really changed from last year for me. Still unemployed and dealing with that shit. So yeah, try to spread the word about me around, I think I have received... one inquiry about a commission, and I had to decline that one.

But speaking of commissions, I feel that there are some changes and updates that have to be made to that sheet I made several months ago.

First change: prices are going from 10 USD per 1000 words (one cent per word) to 25 USD per 1000 words (two and a half cents per word). Now this may seem like a big shift in price, but to compensate you can expect a much faster turnaround (1,000 words per week with the old sheet versus 5,000-10,000 words per week with the new price).

As for fees, I am doing away with all but the Novella (50,000+ word count) and the Novel (100,000+ word count) fees. And, I am offering a discount. If you are very specific about details, then no biggie. However, if you allow me to stretch my creative tendons, I will take up to 30% off. Enquire to know how.

Also, and I am only adding this because someone reached out and asked this of me, I will not rewrite works written by other people, unless of course, someone is asking me to rewrite what they wrote as a commission.

And as for fanfiction commissions: it really, really depends on the source material. It has to be something I am familiar with, so please check with me about it.

Hello there, so unlike a few months ago, I have officially lost my job. Reason (they gave me): I came in on time on Thanksgiving. Like I can't make this up. This is honestly the DUMBEST reason for ANYTHING I have ever heard, and I am disgusted that this company would be this shitty, and that this would happen so suddenly. With finals coming to a close, replacing my former income stream will be next to impossible. In order to continue delivering content, Commissions are crucial so I can eat and actually drive.

Because of this, I am opening up commissions with a 20% off discount for the holiday reason. The only exception is that payment will be due upfront to guarantee the work. Please pass this around.

Hey there everyone, so I thought about giving a few updates to the state of this channel as well as what to expect.

The biggest update comes in terms of my bread and butter, The Crown of Flowers. This was formerly called The Most Royal of Royals, but I didn't like the old title, how I wrote some of the characters, and a lot of things for that matter. I will be uploading them as standalone chapters on a weekly basis, so instead of the bimonthly story, you'll get to see a lot more content from me on this channel.

Now time for some updates on other projects in the works.

This month along with 3 additional installments in The Crown of Flowers, followers can expect to see a few more projects if mine coming out this month.

The first is a long-awaited continuation of I Ain't Afraid of No Wolves. Expect to see a part 2 or three added this month, just in time for Halloween.

Next up is a second part (and conclusion) to They Are Called Chaos Emeralds for a Reason.

And finally, if my schedule permits, you will get a look at my newest project with stories set in the same universe as The Crown of Flowers, Tails from New Bovinia.

Anyways, that is all for now. Stay tuned for updates on commission information.

Hey everyone, this is just me again this time with an update on the status of this account as well as some goodies that followers should be expecting.

The first thing is that I published something new for the first time in a minute (although it seems like my submissions are getting closer and closer together as time goes on). And because people like this thing called new content, I'll be publishing more of it in the future.

However, expect to see some changes as well. I'm currently working on completely overhauling the first 5 chapters of The Most Royal of Royals (I might change the title too, cuz that is a pretty bad title to be honest, let me know what y'all think I should change it to or if I should change it), so expect it to be marginally better at the least instead of whatever it is now. I know that this is a very sad moment if you've read it, as some plot points are changing. I highly suggest a reread once it's re-released sometime later this month.

As for commissions, the emergency commissions are, quite obviously, over. And the prices that I had before were garbage. Expect for these to be updated soon.

Also, I haven't been asked about trades or requests yet, but I am definitely open to either or as well as suggestions on what I should write next.

That's all for now.

-Your pal, Froco

Hey everyone. Recently I have fallen short on some cash, and I am in desperate need of money. As a result, I have slashed my prices:
Flash stories/quickies are now $5 (at least 2000 words)
More standard short stories are $10 (at least 5000 words)
Longer stories are $20 (at least 9,000 words)

If you are interested in longer pieces, I implore you to please contact me. I will limit this to the first 30 people who contact me. Because of the nature of this, I will have to ask for ALL payment up front.

I implore you, please

Hello everyone!

So I feel that a journal is necessary to explain my activity as well as potentially some more inactivity. The hard drive on my laptop is failing, and considering that I've had it for almost 4 years and I've had to replace the battery and now this, it's about time to get a new one.

As for what this means on here. If my laptop goes out, it may be a while until I can upload anything considering I don't have access to a second computer. If that happens, I'll probably release a journal about it. Anyways, that's all for now!

Hello there, and welcome to my page. I hope you'll enjoy it, I think you will.

A lot of you might know me from Discord, and some of you may have been looking for pics of tasty chocolate shakes. Sadly I'm not the latter.


So now is the part that people are probably interested in: commissions.

I've seen how some people do story commissions, and their prices are enough to make an oligarch cry. Put it simply, I charge per block, about 800-1200 words. My prices are as follows:

One-Scene/Quickie Prices:
One-Scene/Quickie (Publicly-Posted): 1000-1700 words- $7.50
One-Scene/Quickie (Private): 1000-1700 words- $10.00
One-Scene/Quickie w/ 1-on-1: You talk to me for an hour or two while I write the story, this way it makes it more personalized. Oh, and you get the story about 30 minutes after the chat (No additional charge for private). 1000-1900 words- $20.00

Two-Scene/Standard Prices:
Two-Scene/Standard (Publicly-Posted): 2000-2800 words- $15.00
Two-Scene/Standard (Private): 2000-2800 words- $20.00

Three-to-Five-scene/Longer-ish: 3000-6000 words- $25 base, plus $10.00 per additional block (there will be an additional $10 fee if the commissioner wishes for the story to be private).

The Works/Sub-Novella (6000-25,000 words): $50 base, plus $10.00 per additional block (additional fees if commissioner wishes for the story to be private).

Larger Projects: Contact me with serious inquiries.


~~FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS~~

Q: How Long do Commissions Take?

A: The turnaround depends on the size and type of commission. With smaller commissions (one, two, and three scene projects), expect the turnaround to be 2 to 3 weeks, if not earlier. As for 4000-8000 word projects, expect them to take 6 to 8 weeks. Sub-novellas may take up to 20 weeks to finish.

Q: What payments do you accept, and how do we pay?

A: I do Paypal payments only. Prices are listed in US dollars. Any commissions exceeding $20 will require a 25% deposit, and a 50% deposit if over $100. Larger projects exceeding 25,000 words are subject to different terms.

Q: What subjects/kinks do you write?

A: A better question is what don't I write. I will not write NSFW material involving minors, diapers, and involving incredibly specific kinks. I serve the right to refuse a project for any reason.

Q: Do you do Requests?

A: No. Don't ask.

Q: Do you do Trades?

A: Only if the author/artist is of equal skill, or it is between two similarly-priced pieces (ie: a story that would be 30 USD commissioned and a piece of art that would be 30 USD commissioned).

Q: What about collabs?

A: Maybe. Ask first.
