Posted 15 years agoSo, I could sit here and list all the awesome things that happened. I could name each and every person who was spectacular to hang out with, who I was happy to see, ecstatic to connect with, and super jazzed to even be in the same room as. I could go on and on and on, but I'm pretty tired after hating on airports. Everyone who I'm thinking of should damn well know who you are, you guys are amazing. I had so much fun, thanks for everything.
With that, let's have some quotes, just for kicks:
"HAHAHAHAHA! Watermelon gum? RACIST!"
"Oh that ninja is a fucking hater!"
"I hate that Andy Dick wannabe."
"Happy birthday! GET IN THE CAKE!"
"Meow meow purr, I'm a tiger. Fuck you."
"I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOU!"
"Oh my god, you haven't seen SHOES?!"
"I'm tired, I'm WAsted. I lOVE you my DARling!"
"This fox plays with no justice, no justice."
"Ice beam! YEAH!"
"Looks like the crypt keeper having sex with a bloated Britney Spears. No I'm serious, watch that scene."
"If that isn't a Diet Pepsi I'm going to throw suuuch a bitch fit."
"Here's your sprite, fag."
"That shit is on dogs, ya dig?"
"Your ass looks mad good in dem jeans, no homo."
"I swear the otters have so much sex in that jacuzzi."
"COIN. COIN."
"Just gonna sit there like a bitch."
"You're making it sound like I don't have parents."
"I won't let Full Metal Alchemist break my heart. No, not again."
"Drama in ustream? Perish the thought!"
"I like how the two black guys are-RACIST."
And many, many more. See ya next year!

Anthrocon and stuff
Posted 15 years agoYeah I'll be there on Thursday afternoon. Feel free to chat, hug, eh whatever me more or less so long as you're friendly about it. I don't draw, I don't really do requests, and I don't want to not have fun. Video games are good, complaining about them is great, along with anime. I can really whine up a storm about things that annoy me, and let me get started and I won't stop. So, yeah, look for me I suppose, or don't, chances are I'll be hanging with an entourage. Careful, I dance at random.
A review of: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Spoilers? No, not really)
Posted 15 years agoHoo boy.
Well, let's just jump into this one shall we? I'm sure you're all eager to hear about my thoughts/opinions on the latest installment of the ridiculously popular (I'm mean, come on, he's in over 200 games by now) Mario and his wacky adventures. When we last left our hero (and by last I'm not counting the games in which he: Was a micro and eaten by Bowser, beating up his fellow Nintendo chums, saving the princess with his brother and two toads, beating Sonic at the Winter Olympics, racing around like a doof, or having a DS party) he was in vast, ever expansive reaches of outer space! He soared through the starry eternity with the grace of a short, pudgy, plumber, which as we should know by now is amazing. He got to meet and hang out with who is practically the GOD of the Mario universe, travel to a bunch of planets, and then he beat up the mean 'ol dinosaurturtleguy thing who kidnapped his girlfriend, again. How sweet is that? Well, the game was successful, as are most if not all of Mario's games, and a sequel was created.
This barely counts as a sequel. I mean...c'mon, really? There is even LESS of a story in Mario Galaxy 2 than there was in the first Galaxy game. I know what you're saying, "Whatever, there's barely a story in any of the Mario games to begin with," and I can understand/believe/agree with that. Though in the previous Mario Galaxy, as I said you hang out with GOD, and you chat with her from time to time, you learn about how the universe was made, and you do some other stuff that isn't really important either. How can you have LESS story than that? Well, for starters the game just kinda begins, the Princess gets kidnapped immediately, Mario gets a planet/ship shaped like his head and he goes through various worlds/galaxies to get Power Stars so he can save his doof of a girlfriend. Oh, and some fat star guy hangs out with you by the controls of your spaceship-planet that is shaped like Mario's freakin' head. No ego problems there folks. I'm not so mad at that, but I'm more irritated at the fact that this game is EXACTLY the same as the first Galaxy one.
"Exactly the same? Pssh, whatever, every Mario game has pretty much the same game play," yes and no to that. Yes, more often than not, "traditional" Mario games are pretty much rescue princess from Bowser or play a sport. At first, he was just some guy dating this broad with no fashion sense (taaaacky dress, honey *z-snaps*) and for some reason this other character with a personality AND looks to match keeps kidnapping her. I don't get why Bowser even bothers, Peach wouldn't treat him right, she'd just end up hurting him and breaking his already fragile heart, therefore creating a void he'll never get to fill and...oh wait, Mario, right, that guy, sure. What I'm getting at, is that if you were playing Mario Galaxy, went to the bathroom, and before you got back I turned off said game and instead put in Mario Galaxy 2 in its place. You would sit down, I would probably look SUPER casual and nonchalant, and you would go back to game playing. Notice anything different? Cause I sure as hell don't.
Alright, that last comment was unfair. Mario Galaxy 2 does have some great things added to it. Like Yoshi, who is probably one of the greatest things ever. Seriously <3 and adding him to this game was awesome. So awesome he's even on the box. The Yoshi stuff is pretty neat, as are the other 2 or maybe 3 power ups. The Bee Suit is still around, so is that STUPID Spring Suit that made me go blind with furious rage at how STUPID it was. I'm not sure if the Ice Mario is back in this game D: which is sad, because ice skating on water that you freeze when you touch it is pretty damn awesome. So, yeah, new power ups, and new levels too I suppose, but like I said, you can barely tell the difference at all. Do the same with Mario Galaxy and Mario 64? Wha? It's completely different? Sure you get 120 Stars or whatever, but gasp! It's different! Now put in Mario Sunshine. Wait, what's this?! It's different -again-? Am I a magician or a space traveling maverick? Yes. I mean, no. Though in that game you get Shines or something and not Stars, but they're still shaped like Stars. Alright, final round time go! Play Super Mario World 3 for the NES, and then play Super Mario World 2. Oh man, huge difference, right? Right. The "Galaxy" series (yeah I'll call it a series even though it's just 2 games, as of now) is the only blatant carbon copy of each other.
Is the game bad? Not fun? No, not really, but is is simply an over glorified expansion pack. If this game was my only son, he would be grounded right now and thinking about what he did. Who does he think he is? Upsetting his demanding father like this...seriously though, I was pretty pissed when I played this. I had no idea what to expect, and what I got was what I played before. I even played it as Luigi, who needs to install better brakes on those shoes. Gave this game a whirl at a friend's house and was aghast at how little the developers thought outside of the box. This is recycling. Sure, it is FUN recycling, to an extent, if you went in expecting the exact same game as before, and the challenge has been derped in favor for an easier game than the first one, I think at least. If you didn't like the first game, chances are you won't like this one because it's the exact same damn thing. And don't you dare say, "Uh, of course it's the same, because all Mario games are the same," because then I will just say harsh words to you. Not all games are the same. The end prize may be, but the journey is always different. The environment is always different. There's so many things that are changed in each Mario game, but this one is trying to be exactly like the first while taking 0 chances. The universe is huge, HUGE, and there was probably so much that could have been done for this game that wasn't. They didn't try making another game, just a freakin' add on. Sure Yoshi is awesome <3 but he can only do so much.
And seriously, what's the deal with Bowser Jr? I mean, he's an ok guy I guess, but Bowser has 7 other freakin' kids, and they barely get to play at all. Who the hell are Wario and Waluigi and why should I care? Will they ever grace their stupid-assed faces in a Mario game when you have to collect 120 (or now 242) star thingies? Aren't they villains? They seem to be jerks, but they're always busy SUCKING in other games of the Mario franchise. This game is so uninspired, it is still grounded and not getting dinner. The people of "Team Mario" are insanely creative. Hey, anyone remember Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door? What about Super Mario RPG: The Legend of The Seven Stars? Yeah, both of those games are insanely epic and stellar, way out of the thinky box. Hell, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine are different, stand out games of the series. Even Mario Galaxy was too, but now it'll always just be "The crappier version of Mario Galaxy 2." I know a lot, a LOT of effort goes into making a video game, but they still could have tried, y'know?
Long story short: Superior carbon copy of another game does not a happy skunk make. Yoshi is awesome. <3
PS- I'm only complaining because apparently this game is getting truck loads of PERFECT scores all over the place. I mean...yeah, if I never played or heard of Mario Galaxy (the first one) then this game would be the bee's knees. Too bad that's not the case.
PSS- I want another Mario RPG-y game, and not one on a handheld device. The one on the Wii can't hold a candle to the other ones, it was ok, but still meh overall. >:[

I suppose it's time
Posted 15 years agoYep, that's right, I'm going to start actually coming back here, among other stuff. First off, lots of RL drama with friends, work, and family, plus some computer issues, so a lot of my stories right now are in limbo. With that said, I guess I'll upload the novel I wrote last year, "Trepidation" even if I don't think it will interest too many people. I'll upload it a few chapters at a time over the following days, if you like mystery, suspense, and character building that is simply padding for another following story all together, then you might get a kick out of this!
I have a lot of stuff to do, and some other stories to upload, but as a whole I've been displeased with my writing and probably won't share several tales since they don't live up to my standards. We'll see how I feel in a few weeks. Also, got into college I want to go to, so that's great too, can't wait to move into the dorms in August, even if it does mean that my fall back plan of moving in with some wonderful people doesn't get to be played out...all the same I'd like to thank them again for their generous offer. Just a few more days till Anthrocon, I'll be there, feel free to chat with me or hug or whatever, I'm super sociable.
Also, 1000+ watchers? Awesome, thanks everyone.

Hypothetical question time!
Posted 15 years agoOk, so picture this...
Let's say your name is...oh I dunno, "John" (if it already is John then pretend your name is something different). Your life has had its fair shares of ups and downs, mostly downs. A lot of parenting issues and social conflicts made it hard for you to survive, but you kept pulling through and actually accomplished a lot in your mid 20's to mid 30's or so. Life kept bringing you back down though, so you lost a lot, if not all of your passion. Before things got horrible, you were an amazing musician, a talented photographer, and a stable individual despite the fact you had schizophrenia growing up and have been diagnosed several times with a chemical imbalance, which help made your only brother hate you, while you felt alienated by your five sisters.
Life goes on, you say some things to piss off your nephews even though you guys had a pretty good thing going on, but eventually they stop respecting you too. Everything starts to go dark, darker than before. You stop seeing your family, you threaten your elderly mother and wheelchair ridden sister in a fit of rage and soon enough no one wants to see or hear from you. You spend a lot of time alone, making a meager earning, you have no friends, your cat dies, you're forced to move to a crappy neighborhood. For reasons your family doesn't know, you legally purchase a gun. Yep, a gun.
In the state and city you live in, owning a firearm is perfectly legal, in fact you can carry it on your person so long as it's registered. Your gun is, and one day to go to the store that you frequent quite often. The cashier overcharges you quite a bit, it's a mistake of course, but all the same you have to address the problem. The situation is not remedied and you are accused of stealing, despite the fact that the majority of the staff knows you are a loyal customer and have been for quite some time. Arguments continue, voices are raised, and in a fit of rage you knock over a news stand that is approximately two feet in height, spilling a few papers. You tell the store to go to hell, and you proceed to leave.
As you are leaving, a stranger tackles you from behind and forces you to the ground, breaking your collar bone in the process. He beats the crap out of you, wailing the back of your head while kneeing into your back. Needless to say, it's quite a bad day. The police arrive, you are arrested and put in the hospital. The man who assaulted you claimed to be a vigilante, and attacked you from behind while you were leaving the store because he "didn't feel safe." Rather odd since you were leaving the building of your own free will, but it doesn't change the fact there was an argument, raised voices, and a knocked over news stand. Your sister bails you out of the holding cell, even if you two don't get along, but the man who beat you savagely is heralded a hero in the newspaper, as well as on the news.
You're facing charges, and the city appoints someone to represent you. In a rare twist of fate, this man owes you quite a great deal of money, due to the fact you worked for him, but he never compensated you for it and spent the last several years avoiding you. You never get to speak with him, but you declare your distaste for him. He catches wind of this and decides you should be punished, so he does not perform is job properly, which will actually land you in jail due to his negligence and immaturity. You stand before the judge, your charges are labeled as "being a danger to society" and also the fact that the man who was required by law to deal with the legal mumbo jumbo did not do a single thing, which lands you in serious trouble, a fact you weren't made aware of. Not only is there a mentioning of the news stand, which at most took 30 seconds to clean up, and could be repaired if it were damaged, but it wasn't, but also the gun you were carrying that same day. You didn't use said gun, you didn't threaten to in any way, you didn't even take it out, but you had it on you and that's dangerous. You remind the judge that you have the right to bare arms and show that you legally purchased and registered your weapon. The judge is less than pleased. You are found guilty.
The next 18 months to 8 years of your life are now forfeit. The man who attacked you flees the city, but no one cares, the store that cheated you feels no obligation to speak on your behalf, the man who was supposed to defend you did no such thing and avoided his responsibilities, being the reason that now you are facing jail time. You are a minority, your life has been shit, you made a mistake yes, but only one side of the story is told and the 'system' refuses to do its job and therefore you are the one to suffer. It is your first time being punished this way. Your oldest sister is in tears, even if she doesn't like you either. There is a possibility that you will die while behind bars, a rather high one due to the number of less than savory people locked away for much more serious offenses in the same facility you will be placed in.
Now then...for the questions...what the fuck?
How is this right? Is this how the law is supposed to work? Is this how America works? Are people allowed to not perform duties out of spite, and rather than being removed from their position or even reminded of their obligations suffer no repercussion for sending a man to jail?
I'm just curious, what do you people think about this situation?

Ten Things You Wish You Could Say Meme
Posted 15 years agoBut for some reason can't. Maybe you don't want to hurt someone's feelings? Maybe it's a secret you're bound to keep? Maybe you don't want to hurt your own feelings? Whatever the reason, just list them in a journal.
I stole this from
TristanHawthorne's latest journal, though this is about 5% of the actual meme, this is really the only sort of think I'd want to list. Please note, I highly, highly doubt that anyone who reads this is the person I'd want to say it to, so don't jump to conclusions.
1. You are not my brother. After how you treated me, after what you said, after all the crap you put me through, you are not my brother. All because we have the same parents, grew up in the same house, and share a last name does not make us family. Do you care? Probably not. Do I? Definitely not.
2. I would be dead right now if it wasn't for you.
3. Whenever I see you and [blank] together a little part of me dies because I know he treats you like crap due to the fact he is a selfish bastard that only ends up hurting you time and time again.
4. Whenever you and [blank] are in the same room, no matter what it is I say you guys flat out ignore the crap out of me. Seriously, what the hell? I'm in the middle of a sentence and then you both go off on something else, changing the subject? Dick move.
5. You say I'm a great writer, but how can that be when I know you don't read my work?
6. Not even a thank you? I mean, I've done so much I thought, and you can't even say those two words to me? You have no idea how much that hurts.
7. I don't want to talk to you because whenever I do you just remind me how awesome your friends are, even though you know those guys hate me for no explained reason.
8. Maybe I don't talk to you because all you do is talk about yourself.
9. How can anyone be this completely selfish?
10. I wish you liked me.
Wee, angsty aren't I?

Because my other journal had naughty words
Posted 15 years agoDerp derp derp.
So apparently, it seems that people REALLY like big, muscular, hungry wolves by the name of Chad, but they aren't completely against the idea of big, muscular, hungry, demonic rabbits by the name of Azaer.
I shall take note of this!

What's the deal with black people? </Seinfeld>
Posted 15 years agoI mean seriously, what is the appeal to all of the LOLBLACKPEOPLEFRIEDCHICKEN jokes? Sure, this is the internet or whatever, but it seems like I can't go more than a week without stumbling onto someone's profile that is "playfully" racist, or end up viewing another watermelon joke. And this is all just on a furry website.
And I swear to god, how is this funny?
"Knock knock"
"Who's there?"
"You're a NIGGER!"
"D:<"
THE END
I thought jokes had to have punchlines, like it was a rule or something. Or did I miss this huge meeting of some sorts? I like to think I have a great sense of humor, but I fail to see how any of this funny.

List of things to do before turning 24
Posted 15 years agoIn case you weren't aware, Monday, the 22nd was my birthday. It was also
Jagkitty's birthday, so be sure to wish him a happy one if you haven't already, he's one of my longest and bestest friends, plus he's a great author!
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes and stuff, though I figured since I never made a new year's resolution, I'll try and get stuff done before I get one year closer to kicking the bucket. I still have this feeling that 28 will be my last hurrah, gotta make myself awesome before then. The first few are dance move thingies, cause I want to keep active and improve.
Things I shall aim to do:
-Hone my street jazz
-Hone my hip hop
-Hone my popping & locking
-Hone my vogue
-Try more lyrical/contemporary/broadway
-Master the art of the butterfly flip/twist
-Master the art of the flare
-Master the art of the gainer
-Attempt to master the art of the air-flare
-Hold a good headstand for 90 seconds
-Hold a good handstand for 40 seconds
-Hold a good one-handed handstand for 20 seconds
-Create my own freeze
-Create my own variation of a coin-drop
-Upload a story at least bi-weekly to FA
-Upload "Trepidation"
-Finish "Late Bloomer"
-Check FA at least every other day
-Be on IMs more often
-Be more patient with people
-Be more upfront/honest with people
-Actively chat with folks and maybe even RP at times
-Have a decent sleep cycle
-Not live were I do now
-Buy clothes
-Write more huge complaints about things that annoy me
-Create a witty/funny/mildly entertaining header for my journal posts
-Do other stuff too
That seems like a lot, but I have a whole year to work on it. Thanks for reading.

Updates and stuff
Posted 16 years agohttp://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/447129
Finished the novel's rough draft, it's alright I suppose, but editing is going to be a ruthless process. Now that it's out of the way, I can resume other projects and the like, and also be online, chat with people, stuff like that. Might upload the novel in January, but chances are I probably won't, though it's fun to know that my writing skills, at least in keeping a somewhat coherent story with length and depth.
Anyway, there will be more to come soon I'm sure. On a side note, what has everyone else been up to?

All sorts of stuff
Posted 16 years agoI've got things to upload, and I have things to do. This semester is almost over already, thank god, but I still want to light that place on fire.
Oh, and in regards to National Novel Writing Month, yes I'm writing something, but chances are I probably won't upload it after what happened last year :S 'sides it's not going to have any vore or stuff in it. If you're still curious, you can follow my progress here, I had a very late/weak start, but I'm confident I'll finish with words to spare.
http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/447129
And with that, it reminds me that there's lots of people I need to talk to about...stuff.
Thanks for readin'.

Don't respond to my e-mails.
Posted 16 years agoI haven't sent anyone anything, I think MSN has a new bot or some crap. A few weeks ago I was given the same message from a lot of my contacts that mentioned something about being able to see who blocked you on messenger. I changed my password twice, but I figure it's some sort of stupid assed automated thing rather than an actual bug. If you sent me an e-mail in response, no I'm not mad at you, but I don't plan on responding to it.
I'll see what I can do about it, but until then try not to respond to anything that I send you, especially if there's emotes. Sorry for the confusion.

Family and stuff
Posted 16 years agoLet's face it, my family are the only people that can make me feel like I don't belong in any given social situation. (If you met me IRL then you'd know I'm a social juggernaut with the uncanny ability to fit in with most people, so yeah it's weird) I'd call that a gift for them, since I should be reminded where my place is every now and then.
Sorry for vanishing again everyone, though a lot has been going on and right now I'm out of town suddenly and without my consent. I'll see you all again real soon, and this time I mean it.
Unless something else happens, but it's time for positivity so no thinking like that. Yay positivity.
Also my new icon is "Angry feets!" for...well obvious reasons. I owe a good friend for it too.

Ok, so I'm back for now
Posted 16 years agoNot sure if anyone really noticed, but for the past 5-7 weeks (somewhere in that time frame) I started become rather sporadic online, and then pretty much just stopped showing up all together. Long story short, a lot of stuff happened in a small amount of time, but now I'm in a position where what happened doesn't depict what I can and can't do.
With that said, sorry for the sudden poof. Expect a lot coming from me soon, and I apologize again for the lack of response from people who I see have either watched, commented, faved, or noted me. I'll do my best to get back on top of things here.
Thanks for readin'.

Posted 16 years agoThe movie was horrible. It was offensive, crude, full of immature humor and people that should not be allowed to see the light of day. There was so much wrong with this film, I don't know where to start or where to finish.
So if you have no sense of humor, do not watch this movie.
<3
...He looks like a dirty wizard. XD

Anthrocon was...
Posted 16 years agoPretty damn awesome, already can't wait for next year :3
I'd go into extreme detail, but I am lazy, you people know who you are, and I'm glad I got to hang out with you, even if it was just for a short moment. The memories I made there won't be forgotten.
Now it's time for an inside joke!
"Who's scratching my balls?"
"Oh crap!!"

Obligatory going to AC journal
Posted 16 years agoI wonder if me writing this is going to upset anyone, chances are it will, then again most things I say have that power.
I'm getting there Thursday evening, probably will be at the Westin Hotel no later than 8pm. Leaving on Monday at...I dunno, Monday.
Feel free to chat, hug, ect. if/when we meet, I'm pretty easy to notice since I'm generally loud and if given enough room I'll be doing odd things in public. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

A question for the vores
Posted 16 years agoSo that amounts to about, 98% of my watchers, I think at least. Anyway!
I have a question:
What is the first species that comes to mind when I say the word "prey"?
Please note there is no right or wrong answer, I'm just curious what people have to say.

Update
Posted 16 years agoWoo, bout time huh?
Now to answer all of your questions, and by answer, I mean make excuses!
"Hey! Why aren't you online anymore?"
Well, [your name here] things have been rather hectic as of late with school and other nonesense that runs rampantall around me. I try to get on messengers or YumChat or something when I can, though usually it's not for too long. However! That should hopefully be changing soon :D
I plan to go through the almost 200 submissions in my box, and I'll try to read through the 160+ journals I have too!
I'm sure there's other things people are curious about, but I'm trying to be brief. Just give me some time and everything will be back to normal~
In other news, today is my 22nd birthday (exciting I know), though 22 is my favorite number. Thank you all for the b-day wishes I have already recieved! You're far too kind :D though don't forget! Today is also the birthday of
JagKitty! <3 be sure to wish him a happy one too, he's awesomeness!
I should have some stories up sooner or later, I have work that is closed to being finished or is finished, I'm just being lazy I suppose. Thank you for your patience!
And thank you all my new watchers/fav givers and such, sorry I haven't been able to properly tell you this, but I hope this shout out can show my appriciation.
One last thing, I'm going to be on the other side of the continent with
Luke <3 spending my spring break there, but I should have internets while with my lovable 'yote. <3
Thanks for readin', hope to see you all soon :3

Oh! Journal
Posted 16 years agoOk now, I've actually got some news.
I think I'm going to be auditioning for "So You Think You Can Dance" since they have a casting call in Denver on March 12th much to my surprise, mostly since it's an hour away from where I live. If you've never heard of the show, think American Idol with dancing. I doubt I'll do that well, hell, I doubt I'll even be shown for a second on television, but I want to try something anyway. Haven't done much of anything since the novel, and I want to change that with something like this.
Well...uh, wish me luck I suppose. *Starts rehersing his choreo and looks for a song*

Posted 16 years agoI know I should probably say something about something.
Ahem.
...
...Yeah, I'm pretty much out of things to say by this point.

Thanks 'n all
Posted 17 years agoBut seriously, try not to jump the gun people. I'm not going to shoot myself or have to cry myself to sleep over stuff that happens on the internet. Call me a dick or whatever, but that is just how it is. I appriciate all the support, as always, though don't feel like you have to go out of your way to give me anything at all.
Requests, and some other stuff
Posted 17 years agoThis isn't aimed at any one person, though I figured I could put this here in case people are curious.
As far as requests go, I don't try to do them that often, due to the fact I have other requests that need to be done already. The thing is, I feel most comfortable and happy writing for friends, people I feel close to and people that hang out with me and what not. I'd be more inclined to write for someone like that, as would most people I'd imagine, rather than for someone I didn't know at all c.c not trying to be mean or anything, it's not like I'm impossible to get to know.
Though I always warn people about there being a wait, cause chances are there's going to be one, I have a list of these things I said I'd do. Sometimes I do remove stuff if said person acts like a dick or something one time too many. Really, I'm not trying to sound like a saint or anything, but I -am- doing something for someone else, and all they have to do is wait and not be a jerk. Staying in contact is a good way to stay on anyone's good side, and I like to think I have a huge good side, though if someone just flat out vanishes from my radar completely chances are I won't have any motivation to write for them.
Also, if you're going to request something, make it something cool! And by cool, I mean something I'm interested in :p my prefs are really simple, and I'm super open. Hope that makes enough sense.
I occassionally do gifts for people if they inspire me to do so, and at times I can be easy to inspire, while other times the last thing on my mind is writing. That's how moods work!
Trades are excellent, and I'm usually open for them, save for right now since I'm in a few, but I'm starting to finish those up fairly quickly.
Alright, now onto some other stuff. For those of you still interested, chapter 1 of that novel I wrote some month or so ago is going to be uploaded on the 1st. Also, the big collaboration of various vores who were hanging around the black labyrinth (you should know who you are!) is going to be up in a day or so, sorry it took so long. Late Bloomer is on a break, look for it in Feburary though. Got tons of other ideas I'm waiting to put into action.
Also, to those that know how to make those nifty 'next' buttons and what not in submissions. I know how to do the basic ones, as in very basic ones, using those for Late Bloomer at the moment, but I know there's ways to make other ones that aren't listed in the wiki. Anyone care to help a skunk out?
As always, thanks for readin'.

It's been fun, sorta I suppose. Though Furaffinity has been a fairly cool place, and it's how I got to meet so many of you really cool people. Thanks for chattin', thanks for reading, thanks for never ever saying a single thing to me even though I know you're watching :3 you know who you are!
If it wasn't for this place, I know I wouldn't be the person I am today...huh, I'll say that's a good thing.
I'm sure next year will be full of excitement too, and plenty more friends, fun, and written stuff.
