It has been a while since I did an update journal, so here it is.

Lately life has been way more stressful for me, which makes writing a bit harder, but I'm still trying to push through it. At work, customers yelling at me for things beyond my control and co-workers yelling at me for not doing something that is beyond my scope of responisibilities. I have chronic back pain which has gotten quite a bit worse over this past weekend. My half-brother's father passed away on Friday, so I have to help him deal with that. My mother came to my work yesterday and scolded me in front of co-workers and customers over a flat tire I discovered I had when I got to work.

All of this extra stress has been draining my will to write, and I may not even reach the goal I have set for myself. The goal is to have 10 chapters of the sequel written by the time chapter 30 of Ashchu's rape is posted, and I am currently writing chapter 6 of the sequel. With the amount of time it's taking me to write a chapter for the sequel, I would like to be 10 chapters ahead. That will allow me to ensure no delays in posting the weekly chapters and also allow me to take on commissions while not having to worry about getting too far behind.

As you may have noticed I posted my part of a trade in my gallery. The other person's part is still being made, it will be is something from Ashchu's Rape. Not really adult oriented, but more on the cute side, at least that's what I'm going for. With that said, I do welcome any fanart anyone wants to make for any of my stories. I do ask that if you do, please credit and link the appropriate story and send me the link to it. It would also be nice if I could be allowed to post it, credit will always go to the artist and if it was commissioned by someone, they will be credited as well. If someone does draw fanart or commission fanart from one of my stories, they will be eligible for my 10% discount on commissions from me if they haven't commissioned me before, and if they have commissioned me before, I will give them an additional 5% discount on commissions.

For those that are interested, I will be opening pre-orders for all 30 chapters of Ashchu's Rape in a single document soon, more details will be posted in the description of the next chapter. Once I open pre-orders, invoices will not be sent until the day before pre-orders close. Once pre-orders close and payment is received, I will be sending out the document through email. For those of you who have not commissioned me, the invoice will come from quickbooks[at]notification.intuit.com so be sure to check your spam folder in case it gets accidentally put in there.

Paypal has finally fixed the account I was using for commissions, so that is a viable alternative. However, I still prefer quickbooks as that helps me more with keeping track of who has commissioned me and is more convenient when it comes to the discount. Also, when it comes tax time, quickbooks prepares all the tax stuff I need to file automatically. When it comes to fees, quickbooks has less fees than paypal, which means I get a bigger cut on payments, and quickbooks even has 0 fees if you pay be electronic check, while paypal still charges their fees. Quickbooks does not give an option for the buyer to pay the fees at all, so the fees always come out of my cut of the payments.

After searching through many artists, I finally found a great artist willing to take on a thumbnail commission for the sequel to Ashchu's Rape story series. The prologue chapter will be the big reveal of it, as well as, which artist drew it, some of you may know them, they have more than twice as many watchers as I do.

I have already started writing chapters in the sequel in order to minimize the time it will be on hiatus. I'm hoping to make the hiatus as short as possible, as I know many of you want to keep reading new chapters.

As I have stated in my previous journal, there will be many changes, which become apparent immediately following the Prologue chapter. I have been working hard on my writing skills, and they continue to evolve and improve. I am trying many new things with the new series, which I think will appeal to a wider audience.

I will give you one example of a change, instead of decreasing the amount of writing in an encounter by using time lapses, I am expanding it by giving more details and having it feel more like a "Blow by blow", so to speak. The time lapses were good in making the chapters faster to write, but I'm thinking they are taking away from the great story it could be. The downside to this decision is that each encounter could potentially last quite a bit longer and take longer to write than before. However, I think it brings the reader more into the story and what is going on, allowing them to envision the story as I do in my mind.

I really enjoy making this and want my current readers to enjoy it even more, hopefully bringing in new readers as well.

One thing I didn't realize is just how long all of the chapters in Ashchu's Rape were when I combined them. The file I have prepared for those that want to order all of the chapters in a single file, is 185 pages long. If someone were to commission that kind of work from me, the price would be $3,700 USD ($20 per page X 185 pages). Imagine the kind of work I had to put into it to make that happen, but it was worth it to hear the praise of fans that enjoyed it.

I enjoy hearing what people like about my stories, it tells me what I'm doing right. I really haven't had any criticism, other than the fetishes, of course, but I take it as things I can improve upon. I have also put some pokemon requests into Ashchu's Rape, and they might even return in the sequel. As always, I am very open to requests for pokemon readers want to see in future chapters.

I've been hard at work planning out the next part of the Ashchu's Rape series. Here are some of the things I've been thinking of (No spoilers here):

-Mewtwo will disappear for a bit, leaving a couple of Pokemon in charge to keep the toys and users under control (The reason is explained early on)
-Another character joins the ranks of the toys (This will involve a character I've wanted to write in a story, but haven't yet, so this should be a long story arc, which would contain mini arcs within it)
-No more 1 chapter = 1 day, instead 1 day will last multiple chapters
-A couple of legendary pokemon show up that haven't before
-No teleporting to and from the island everyday (The reason will be explained along with Mewtwo's disappearance)

I want to plan out multiple story arcs, which seems to keep interest from fans. Another part of my planning is to plan out which pokemon are going to be in which chapters and not have them make the same entrance each time.

I will be writing a Prologue chapter like I did with Ashchu's Rape. This will be for new readers just starting to read the series, so they do not feel forced to read content they do not like in order to understand what is going on.

After spending more time than I wanted to thinking about making an alternate version of chapters that includes Scat and Watersports, and whether to post them to supporters on Patreon or somewhere else. I have ultimately decided the alternate versions will be posted on Archive of Our Own, which I will link in the description of each chapter that has an alternate version up on there. This should quell some fears from fans. I know how people feel when a version they want to see has a requirement of paying to see it, and some people cannot afford that. That being said, I will not be making an alternate version of every chapter. The only way to find out if there is an alternate version is if I link my stories page on Archive of Our Own in the description.

I am now done writing the final chapter in Ashchu's Rape and now accepting commissions.

However, for a while, I do have some things about commissions:

-I will not do Scat, almost all of my stories have scat in them and want to do stories that do not involve it for a while.
-I would rather not do Watersports, there is just as much of this as Scat. The reason why I'm more willing to do Watersports is that people tend to enjoy it a bit more than Scat.
-I will not do Full Tour Vore, this is where a character is eaten/swallowed whole, then digested, passes through the digestive system, and comes out. I've gotted quite a bit of these and, at this point, I really don't feel like doing them. This may or may not become permament.


Permament changes to commissions:

-I will write one page per person, per day max. This should keep my workload to a more manageable level and allow me to do things other than commissions
-I will not work on any commissions on Saturdays. This is the day when my boss has me coming in the earliest and working the most hours. I would rather try to relax before a long day of work.
-If I have multiple commissions in my que, I will rotate through the que, writing the one page for the first person, then switching to the next person and doing the same thing, and so on. What this means is that commissioners that want less pages will probably see theirs finished before someone higher up in the que.

A word on Ashchu's rape:

-I will be putting all the chapters into a single file and selling it. I will open pre-orders on the sunday before chapter 28 is posted, so keep an eye out, and they will close the sunday before chapter 30 is posted. Pre-ordering will cost $5 and the price will double after that. I will send the link to the file out to those the pre-order as soon as pre-orders close.

-The story will be on a temporary hiatus before it continues under a new name. The reason for this is not entirely to give me a break from it, but I want to plan it out better. Right now, it's been choosing random pokemon and random fetishes right before writing a chapter, then writing it. I want the next one to have more structure and more story arcs. Maybe another character joining as a toy or possibly a partner-in-crime with Mewtwo. I think this will help keep the story fresh and keep readers from getting bored with it.

-For every chapter, I will make 2 versions. One for FA/IB/AOOO and one for Patreon/Makersupport. The Patreon/Makersupport version will have Watersports and Scat, while the other will not. I have decided to make it available to $1/month pledgers, so you don't have to give much to see it, and it will be available the same day as the other version.

After digging really deep in my emails (I never delete any, so I have over 100,000 emails on my account), I finally found the original author of the Ashchu's Rape prequel. I'm going to be doing some research to see if I can get permission to post it. The story was commissioned back in 2009, so they may or may not remember it.

Unfortunately, they are not responding to my emails, which leads me to believe they either think it's spam or they changed their email. I have received many requests to post the prequel, and I really want fans of the series to be able to read it.

So far, I found their FA and DA accounts, however, the accounts are empty, so finding them at this point may be difficult.

I may end up posting it anyway and if they have any issue whatsoever with it, I can take it down.

I have 1 last encounter to write for Chapter 28, then I'll be starting on Chapter 29. This means I should be opening commissions within the next few weeks.

Writing has been slower than normal lately due to having extra hours at work because of something big that was happening and some family stuff.

I'm also toying with the idea of the next series having 2 versions of each chapter. A version without scat and watersports uploaded to FA and other sites, while a version with scat and watersports being posted to Patreon and Makersupport only. I would like some input on this idea. This is something I'm thinking about, but haven't made a final decision yet. I would appreciate input from my fans, watchers, viewers, etc. on this subject as it will affect you more than me. I think that posting both versions on the same site would be confusing to some people.

I think I'm missing out on a lot of fans because of the scat and watersports in the series, and I think this solution would generate more interest in the story on FA and other sites, while those that want to see those fetishes have a way to see a version with those in it, although they would have to pay for it, even if its a small amount.

Well, today marks 12 years since I've been on FA.

I've seen alot of stuff happening in all this time. Also, I've watched 8,045 accounts, got 291 watchers, and have 8,357 page views.

Alot of those watchers and page views without many submissions until I started writing.

I hope to be here for quite a bit longer, as long as people are still here.

I might do something special once I reach 10,000 page views, so keep an eye out

I just got telegram, feel free to chat with me on there, just be sure to let me know who you are. jbernady8 is my telegram and the name I go by on there is Kiesteel

Writing is going slowly on the last few chapters of the series as my motivation is declining, but I'm still getting through it.

Anyway, I do have a question for all those that enjoy reading it. What do you think if after Chapter 30 is posted, I combine all the chapters into a single file and sell it?

Of course, the chapters posted online will stay and will be free. You would get the convenience of every chapter in a single file, plus only a single disclaimer at the beginning of the file.

If this is something you might be interested in, let me know in a comment or note. I will only do this if there is interest in it.

With all of the festishes I've been putting in my writing, I thought it would be nice to share my own F-List. I updated it a couple of months ago and selected an option for every one they have listed.

This list is not a "Will or will not write" list, it is more of a list of stuff I'm actually into, personally.

The things on the "Fave" and "Yes" lists, since they are most interesting to me, will mean writing about those will be faster.

The things on the "Maybe" list can go either way, but some of them are really close to the "No" list.

The "No" list are the things the least interesting to me and will take longer for me to write about.

Link to my F-List: https://www.f-list.net/c/kiesteel/

I'm having trouble thinking of encounters to write for the last few chapters and looking for ideas.

All ideas are welcome.

Since scat is going away for the most part, I would like something special for that in the final chapters.

If anyone has an idea for what they'd like to see, please comment here or note me, I read all comments and notes.

It has been a while since I posted an update journal on the series. I am currently working on the final story arc of this part of the series. There will be some repition starting with Chapter 22, but in order to get it written as quickly as possible, the repition is needed, but I'm trying to keep it to a minimum.

I have decided that the rape part will last until Chapter 30, after which the series will continue under a new name, which still hasn't been decided yet. Under the new name, not only will rape be almost non-existent, but there will be quite a bit less, scat. I do apologize for the readers that enjoy that part of it, but I'm doing this to appeal to those that don't read the story because of it. Since watersports is a more popular fetish, you can expect to see more of it than scat, but it will still be less than now.

Since I have been writing so many stories containing scat, my interest in the fetish is waning. As such, I've been finding it much more motivating to write stories that don't contain it, that is part of the reason for the increase in commission prices, along with how long they've been taking me to write, since most of my commissions have contained scat. Stories like "Lucario's Attraction" and "Erotic Adventure in Subnautica" have taken me quite a bit less time to write than stories like "Zim's Fantasy" and a few others not posted here.

I have been tempted to not accept commissions that contain scat, but it's what sets me apart from other writers, since I have nothing on my list of things I will not write, so I'm still going to take those.

For now, I will advertise my new Patreon page only in submission descriptions, until the Rape part of Ashchu's Rape series is over, since Patreon doesn't like that word. Once I start under the new series name, I will advertise it more. In the meantime, my MakerSupport page is still up and running if you wish to help support my work: https://www.makersupport.com/jbernady8 the rewards on MakerSupport and Patreon perfectly match each other and the rewards will be given at the same time, so you don't have to worry about missing something if you only wish to support me on one of those sites. I do prefer MakerSupport as they allow more NSFW stuff than Patreon.

My ultimate goal is to make $4,000/month between the 2 sites, which will allow me to quit my full-time job and write stories all day everyday, as it is something I enjoy. However, I can't do that without support from my fans. I'm still taking constructive criticism and requests for stories, as well as, requests for pokemon and/or fetishes to include in future stories and future chapters of the current series. I take all criticism seriously and use it to improve my writing. Without the criticism, I cannot improve much, as I have nothing to really go by in gauging how my writing is perceived. I'm not asking for drama or full blown insults, all I'm really asking for is what you like/dislike and how it may be improved upon.

I have received some compliments in notes from fans, which does improve my motivation quite a bit. I do enjoy hearing how readers enjoy my work and what they like about it, as that tells me what I'm doing right, so I can continue to do it. As others may say, I'm a very friendly person to chat with, so feel free to chat.

I finally got my Patreon page working again. My link has changed a bit, so the old one will not work anymore:

As the title says, I created a MakerSupport page, check it out here:

I have updated the pricing and tiers of commissions in my commissions tab. The reason for this is because lately commissions have been taking me a bit longer than normal to write. This has resulted in a compensation value of around $1/hour or less.

The change in prices is meant to better compensate me for my time. The 10% discount for repeat customers still applies.

I am about to start on a commission and wanted to post this real quick.

The commission I am working on now is the final time I will accept Paypal for payment. Future commissions will have to pay with my new payment processor. After calculating the fees and everything, this new processor is way better than Paypal, plus it allows me to put in discounts for repeat customers automatically into the invoices. This also integrates into my tax forms, which makes it easier to do my taxes each year. Customers will never have to pay any processing fees as it will come out of what I am paid from it.

With the discounts feature, I decided to give a 10% discount for repeat customers on commissions only. If you choose to help support my work, I'm willing to provide a 10% discount for those that support me 6 months or more. This all means a great scenario for my customers.

If I get enough income from commissions and subscriptions every month, I can automate the recurring billing process so I don't have to send out invoices every 30 days for subscriptions.

Also, if you want to change your subscription in the middle of the month, I can easily make that happen so you only have to pay the difference if you wish to upgrade, or refund the difference if you wish to downgrade. However, I will not refund the difference if you've already received the rewards for the subscription option for the month. Any upgrades or downgrades will not count against you for the time required for the discount.

All I need in order to use my new payment processor is an email address. For those that already commissioned me, I'll use the email used for Paypal so if you wish to commission me again, it won't take long to create and send invoices. If you would like to use a different email, let me know.

Here is a sample of what I receive when payment is made with the new processor: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ad8x3qi5z.....ample.PNG?dl=0

Future commissions will have the option to choose to pay with Paypal or my new payment processor. I prefer the new payment processor as it has less fees than Paypal, which means that after fees, the amount I get is higher than Paypal. However, it doesn't offer the same dispute options as Paypal, so the both have their pros and cons. It is completely up to the commissioner which method they want to use. Both allow you to use a credit card or bank account (Electronic check) to pay and have the same security (all I see on my end on the new processor is the type of payment used, no numbers or other info) for those payments, but the new processor does not have any fees with the bank account option. All I need is your email address to use my new payment processor as that is where the invoice is sent.

Here is a sample of what I receive when payment is made with the new processor: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ad8x3qi5z.....ample.PNG?dl=0

Also an update to: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8517168/

After the recent update to Patreon, there is another reason the new payment processor I use is good. The processing fees come out of the supporters payment, which means the price you agree to is the exact price you pay.

Overall, this is a win for supporters as you will not have to deal with the extra fees Patreon is forcing supporters to pay.

I am currently writing chapter 19 of Ashchu's Rape in order to stay 8 chapters ahead. While writing I have come to a realization, Ashchu is becoming more and more willing to do the encounters, which means it is becoming less and less like rape. With this new development, I have decided that Ashchu's Rape will end shortly after Ashchu has his encounters with his (Legal aged) children, I will end the Ashchu's Rape series, but continue it under a new name, which will be decided later.

Also, I have decided that not only will the name change, but a few other things in the series will change as well. First, there will be quite a bit less scat. I know some fans expect scat as part of what has been happening, but I feel that there are quite a bit of people that would enjoy the series more without it. I will still put scat in there once in a while, but it will be scarce. Second, less watersports. There will be quite a bit more watersports than scat, but there will be less than what I've been writing, since there are more people that enjoy watersports than scat.

Not to give away spoilers, but while writing chapter 18, I was writing normally, everything coming out naturally. Then, at one point I had to stop and re-read a few sentences over and over again, saying "WTF just happened?" I mean, everything just flowed naturally and I didn't want to take it out. I also used the characters to express the dis-belief.

If anyone wants to help support my work, please read this journal: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8517168/

TLDR: Ashchu's Rape ending and continuing under a new name within the next few months. New name hasn't been decided yet. Special "WTF" moment in chapter 18.

If you want to help support my work, I have created an alternate way than Patreon. I started using Quickbooks, it allows me to send invoices and has less fees than any other site, plus you don't have to sign up for it in order to pay and all payment information is just as secured as any other site.

If you want to help support my work, send me a note with your email and which support option you would like from the list below:

$1 per month: Personal thank you plus you get the new chapter of my current series a day early
$2 per month: $1 option plus fetishes contained in the weekly chapter every sunday
$10 per month: $2 option plus 1 single-chapter request containing 1 pairing and any number of fetishes- 10/10 slots available
$25 per month: $2 option plus 1 free single-chapter request containing 1-3 pairings and any number of fetishes- 5/5 slots available
$50 per month: $2 option plus 1 free multi-chapter request containing any number of pairings and fetishes, limited to 3 chapters max- 3/3 slots available

Your email is only used to send invoices and your option rewards, nothing else.

Ashchu's Rape Chapter 9 is now posted.

I am still having issues with Patreon, please check the journal footer for alternate sites I am using. Minds.com has the rewards listed for pledgers. Some awesome rewards for pledgers. Pledging any amount will get you access to new chapters a day early. Pledging at least $2 per month will get you a preview of pairings and fetishes for the next chapter every Sunday. Pledging $5 or more will get you a permament reserved request or commission slot as long as you are pledging. Patreon seems to be ignoring me now. I am trying other avenues to get into contact with them to try and get my account re-enabled.

A couple of really good surprises in this one. I do build on the Pikachu/Ashchu relationship a bit more after this chapter. I do have some big surprises coming up, including foot fetish, and incest, so be sure to stay tuned to future chapters. I am playing around with many different fetishes and I plan to try to include as many different fetishes into this series as I can in order to keep it fresh and to keep it from getting boring. I am now working 8 chapters ahead of the current chapter, so I will be doing more of other projects, so the you will be seeing different stories from me. I do plan on doing stories from different fandoms as I don't want to write exclusively of 1 or 2 fandoms.

Any constructive criticism I receive, I put to work in the story.

I really want fans of this story to feel like they are able to have a say in what happens, which is why I am still accepting requests for pokemon and/or fetishes readers would like to see in the series. Since it will be long series, I may run into writers block at least a few times and these requests will make it easier during those times. Just know that I will still be writing chapters during the rest of the week as long as I don't have other projects going, so it may be a few chapters or more before I'm able to work the request in, unless it makes sense to insert it into a chapter already completed. If that happens, expect to see it sooner, rather than later. I will keep each requestor updated so they know when to expect their request in the series.

You may contact me by note, commenting on a series update journal, or commenting on any series chapter posted. I will be keeping an eye on those 3 places closely. I do respond to every comment and note. Don't be shy, I will never judge, I know everyone has things they like to see that others may not enjoy so much. I will work every request in and won't discriminate. Requests will be worked into the series in the order they are received according to the date/time stamp on them.

Commissions are still open and the Commissions tab is enabled on my profile. All prices are still negotiable, with me being a bit new to writing, I just used random, fair costs for each type of commission. Once I get my first commission, I will put a queue on my profile. Once a price and details of a commission are agreed upon, 50% of the estimated cost will be due up front via paypal before I start working on it. When my queue consists of multiple commission types, I will be rotating through each type (i.e. Simple, then Complex, then Multi-Chapter). This will give me an even workload. Everyday I work on a commission, I will send a draft to the commissioner for their approval. Once finished, I will provide a semi-final draft to the commissioner for approval. Once approved, the final payment is due. Once the final payment is made, I will provide a final draft to the commissioner for their final approval. When that is approved, the commission is finished and uploaded here, unless the commissioner specifies otherwise. The commissioner will have full permission to repost their commission anywhere they wish as long as they credit me in the post, it is their story and may do with it as they wish.

I did one commission that couldn't be posted here since it contains underage characters. I posted it on Archive of Our Own. If you want a direct link to it, send me a note

I know some of you may be interested in an update to the Tails' Birthday Present Part 2. I am still writing it, but am primarily concentrating on Ashchu's Rape, so it may take a bit before Part 2 is posted. I do have a couple of requests I am woking on as well involving Ash/Lucario and Ash/Mewtwo with a specific fetish to put into at least one of them. I also have been neglecting the submissions of the people I watch. I have them going back to 2015 and I am sitting at 36,246 right now, this is also causing a delay in writing. My goal is to have that count down to 0 within a month or 2.

I just completed another Invader Zim commission. Unfortunately, it does contain under age characters, so I cannot post it here. I did post it on Archive of our Own. If you want a link to the story, please send me a note. My name on the site is the same as it is here.

Ashchu's Rape Chapter 8 is now posted.

I am still having issues with Patreon, please check the journal footer for alternate sites I am using. Minds.com has the rewards listed for pledgers. Some awesome rewards for pledgers. Pledging any amount will get you access to new chapters a day early. Pledging at least $2 per month will get you a preview of pairings and fetishes for the next chapter every Sunday. Pledging $5 or more will get you a permament reserved request or commission slot as long as you are pledging.

More partial digestion in this one as well as Possession. I do have some big surprises coming up, including pregnancy, foot fetish, and incest, so be sure to stay tuned to future chapters. I am playing around with many different fetishes and I plan to try to put in as many different fetishes into this series as I can in order to keep it fresh and to keep it from getting boring. I'm still doing research while writing in order to keep things making sense, this also includes researching pokemon heights and proportions to keep things as believable as possible. It just doesn't make sense for Ashchu, as small as he is, to be the same size as say Lugia, which is huge. The list of pokemon I have to put in this series is still growing. Once I am working 8 chapters ahead of the current chapter, I will be doing more of other projects, so the you will be seeing different stories from me. I do plan on doing stories from different fandoms as I don't want to write exclusively of 1 or 2 fandoms.

As many of you may have read and started to realize, I did write the script for the Palcomix comic called "The New Adventures of Ashchu". The biggest things people didn't like about that and what I am trying to avoid is that it seemed like the same exact thing was repeated over and over again, just with different pokemon as well as the over use of "CCCUUUMMM". I'm doing eveything I can to avoid those mistakes in this series and make sure things stay fresh from chapter to chapter along with a surprise or 2 in each chapter. Any constructive criticism I receive, I put to work in the story.

Everyday I work on a commission, I will send a draft to the commissioner for their approval. Once finished, I will provide a semi-final draft to the commissioner for approval. Once approved, the final payment is due. Once the final payment is made, I will provide a final draft to the commissioner for their final approval. When that is approved, the commission is finished and uploaded here, unless the commissioner specifies otherwise. The commissioner will have full permission to repost their commission anywhere they wish as long as they credit me in the post, it is their story and may do with it as they wish.

I know some of you may be interested in an update to the Tails' Birthday Present Part 2. I am still writing it, but am primarily concentrating on Ashchu's Rape, so it may take a bit before Part 2 is posted. I do have a couple of requests I am woking on as well involving Ash/Lucario and Ash/Mewtwo with a specific fetish to put into at least one of them. I also have been neglecting the submissions of the people I watch. I have them going back to 2015 and I am sitting at 63,130 right now, this is also causing a delay in writing. My goal is to have that count down to 0 within a month or 2.

I have decided to go with minds.com as an alternate to Patreon. Until my Patreon is back up, please visit me there, link below.

For those of you trying to get on my Patreon page, my account has been disabled and I'm working with support to get it back.

In the mean time, I will be creating accounts on alternate sites as a back up and will post links to those when they are up.

Ashchu's Rape Chapter 7 is now posted.

I have started on Patreon. Some awesome rewards for pledgers on there. Pledging any amount will get you access to new chapters a day early. Pledging at least $2 per month will get you a preview of pairings and fetishes for the next chapter every Sunday. Pledging $5 or more will get you a permament reserved request or commission slot as long as you are pledging. Check it out: https://www.patreon.com/jbernady8

Partial digestion in this one, just to experiment with it a bit. I do have some big surprises coming up, including pregnancy, so be sure to stay tuned to future chapters. I am playing around with many different fetishes and I plan to try to put in as many different fetishes into this series as I can in order to keep it fresh and to keep it from getting boring. I'm still doing research while writing in order to keep things making sense, this also includes researching pokemon heights and proportions to keep things as believable as possible. It just doesn't make sense for Ashchu, as small as he is, to be the same size as say Lugia, which is huge. The list of pokemon I have to put in this series is still growing, I'm at 95 right now.

I am still accepting requests for pokemon and/or fetishes readers would like to see in the series. Since it will be long series, I may run into writers block at least a few times and these requests will make it easier during those times. Just know that I will still be writing chapters during the rest of the week as long as I don't have other projects going, so it may be a few chapters or more before I'm able to work the request in, unless it makes sense to insert it into a chapter already completed. If that happens, expect to see it sooner, rather than later. I will keep each requestor updated so they know when to expect their request in the series.

You may contact me by note, commenting on a series update journal, or commenting on any series chapter posted. I will be keeping an eye on those 3 places closely. I do respond to every comment and note. Don't be shy, I will never judge, I know everyone has things they like to see that others may not enjoy so much. I will work every request in and won't discriminate. Requests will be worked into the series in the order they are received according to the date/time stamp on them.

Commissions are still open and the Commissions tab is enabled on my profile. All prices are still negotiable, with me being a bit new to writing, I just used random, fair costs for each type of commission. Once I get my first commission, I will put a queue on my profile. Once a price and details of a commission are agreed upon, 50% of the estimated cost will be due up front via paypal before I start working on it. When my queue consists of multiple commission types, I will be rotating through each type (i.e. Simple, then Complex, then Multi-Chapter). This will give me an even workload. Everyday I work on a commission, I will send a draft to the commissioner for their approval. Once finished, I will provide a semi-final draft to the commissioner for approval. Once approved, the final payment is due. Once the final payment is made, I will provide a final draft to the commissioner for their final approval.
