With November halfway over, Hypnovember officially closed, and December on the proverbial horizon, a new sale are joining the ongoing Lyres one! Specifically, a Winter sale! It has 12 general themes, but this are more loose suggestions for this year's sale rather than strict guidelines.

1. Playing in the snow/snowball fight
2. Fighting/imperiled by a winter/snow themed creature or villain, using snowglobes or other means.
3. Winter party/festival
4. Family/friend/community gathering
5. Ice skating
6. Hot spring amidst snow
7. Walking through a winter wonderland
8. Skiing in typical or skimpy attire
9. Climbing/hiking a mountain
10. Caroling/singing a song
11. Winter blizzard in a remote wooden cabin or camping
12. Saving the holidays in some manner

Like the previous themed story sale, each story will be at least 1500 words for a Wing-It style at $15($5 for every 500 extra words). Multiple slots are welcome to be claimed by the same client, and as fitting with the theme... there are 25 slots! And multiple slots can be claimed by one person! The finished stories will be uploaded in December or January, even if they are completed beforehand, and will the slots will be closed around the start of next year.

And as before, the premise of the Lyres sale is that your chosen character(s) gets to meet the members of the Sweet White Lyres boyband, in any potential situation! The list of involved characters and their art are as follows:

-The Heartthrob/Sweet One: Chrysostomos 'Chrys' Vasiliou
-The Bad Boy/Rebel: Embry Sable
-The Cute One: Cyril Leblanc
-The Older Brother: Etrian Kalistar
-The Shy One: Akakios Kamberakis

Beyond that, options are as follows: Your character(s) get to meet several, if not all, of the band members through some manner of interaction. This can be through meeting them at a convention, before/during/after a concert, in the backstage via prize or a VIP ticket, or some other means that can be determined! Should the choice lean in a particular direction, it is done in the form of a one night stand and the specifics will be discussed in PMs/Notes here or elsewhere.

Each slot will be $50 USD, for a minimum of 4400 words. Anything over that minimum will be free of charge. Comment, note, or message me wherever you are interested in claiming a slot! These will only be closed when slots are filled up. Slots are set at 20 or more, but there is no deadline, this story sale will be open indefinitely until further notice or all slots are filled!

Due to recent situations revolving around Patreon and Gumroad banning certain types of content, I have decided to make the shift over to Ko-Fi instead. You can find it here: https://ko-fi.com/shockingstarstudios

And regarding strides I have made on the visual novel project "Days Gone By" and the Ripple comic, those and other rewards will be more featured there starting next month to reflect the progress made. And for those who want to support it further, more tiers have been added as options with rewards to match.

Go check out the lovely bunny god's journal here if you want a story for a modest cost! https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10778893/

Hope you all are having a blast or at least a good time celebrating or just doing your usual thing! Here's to a good new year!

Go check it out here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/54030540/

So, as many of you likely know, I have an interest in developing stories. And one of the biggest ways to get stories out there is through visual novels. So this month, and next month, I intend to put more time, effort, and resources into developing my core VN idea further, with of course Patreons getting early access to versions of the demo.

I have much of the grand scope of things planned out and will be revealing piecemeal by piecemeal over the course of the next few weeks on my Patreon so that those supporting the project can help vote on certain goals as things progress, such as which character gets artwork made next to be added to the game, as well as other potential rewards for those who wish to support it at greater amounts.

So feel free to check out the page here: https://www.patreon.com/ShockingStarStudios

I hope to see you guys there, and to show more of my work so far soon! Until we next speak, ciao!

For anyone interested in providing suggestions and later voting on it, feel free to pop over to this link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/84228414

Figured this would be good for the future, so for any and all interested in supporting my work and also wishing to gain early access to arts, comic pages included, that I'm getting as well as other benefits, feel free to hop over there and check it out at https://www.patreon.com/ShockingStarStudios ! I will clarify though, most of it will be early access, I intend to post a majority of what is uploaded there here. But for those more interested in other things, like exclusive alternate versions of specific images that aren't available to the public, that's the place you'll get to see them!

Hope to see you there, and thank you for taking the time to read this journal! Have a good day all!

Go check it out here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50533308/

Hope you all are having a great one out there!

Mainly just a heads-up that I am open for taking on story commissions over the summer if anyone is interested, as I do have some plans I wish to get done sooner. Send me a note if you are interested!

And for anyone interested in helping support "The Ripple" comic in the works, feel free to buy me a coffee here: https://ko-fi.com/panelscomicsandmore

There is also the remaining two Day with a Hero slots, information here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/34089668/

Every little bit helps! Thank you and good night!

 Nightarm is hosting a raffle, find the details here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/43129564/

Uploading a lot of Nights with the Egyptian Gods and Digital Nights images that have been sitting around for some time now, so look forward to those, and some more new images from  Sparksstars after that pile is done!

This journal is more or less a bump for anyone who might be interested in any of the three projects I've done with the help of the fantastic and talented  Undeadkitty13 that still have unclaimed slots.

So I've been pondering who to do for the next AMA, and I'd like to take an audience vote on who should be the next one up to the plate! Currently just Coast City's finest, which can be found here: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....oes-Coast-City So comment below who you would want to ask questions or just to learn more about them from the answers to other peoples' questions!

On top of that, story commissions are and have been open if anyone is interested in one! Other than that, I hope everyone is doing grand and will be/is having a awesome Fourth of July despite how things are going. I know I will be, considering there's an important birthday for me on that day!

Here we go yet again, this time with Jade Fang in the spotlight! Providing a link from here on out for these: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/30833955/ Same format borrowed from  dreaj1 as before, and same rules.

1. Keep civil.
2. Nothing creepy, offensive, or personal.
3. Minimum 5 questions.

Let the floodgates be opened!

Well, giving this another go, featuring Starshard as the one answering the questions this time! Same format borrowed from  dreaj1 as before, and same rules.

1. Keep civil.
2. Nothing creepy, offensive, or personal.
3. Minimum 5 questions.

Ask and ye shall receive!

Well, decided to give this a go, after seeing  Starlightwyvern try it out. Borrowing the guidelines he used, which in turn were borrowed from  dreaj1's own. Doing this first for Shock Dragon, my main superhero, but I do think I'll give others a go later on!

1. Keep civil.
2. Nothing creepy, offensive, or personal.
3. Minimum 5 questions.

Aside from that, ask away!

Since FA doesn't have a feature to let watchers be notified when a submission is updated, I'll be reuploading a few images when they get finished/shaded.

Also, I still have Pillowfort links to hand out, if anyone is interested! Look here for details! https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9415523/

Thanks to the fantastic  Todex, I now have an account on Pillowfort! You can find me here: https://www.pillowfort.social/Heroicswordsman23 And for the first three people to comment asking for a invite as of this moment, I can provide one from have three to give out per week(unless I haven't used them before). So currently 9 slots open for those who want to have the chance to open an account up on Pillowfort!

Stay tuned for more opportunities as well!
