Jesus Christ; seriously. Wow. Uh...Well, I was planning on doing something special for a high-watcher count on my end someday, so I'm trying to think of something here.

Maybe offer a chance to appear in a piece with one of my folks? Would that be cool? I'm honestly not sure how to feel about this :D

I use discord.

Literary Chimera#6105. If you owe me work, want to hire me, etc., just...Just use that. I can't trust FA to stay up and stable anymore. SO YEAH.

Also, don't abuse that. If I want to be friendly, I'll make it clear, but this is being posted as a means for clients and artists I've commissioned to get hold of me.

Thaaanks.

If you don't like how I tag my characters, stop following me and fuck yourself.

They're tagged the way they are because that's how they identify. I've been over the issue of DID before, and how these aren't "just characters" to me. They're individuals, with their own preferences and lives, personalities and beliefs. Some prefer Trans, some prefer Herm, so on and so forth. You want to die on the hill of PC bullshit? Cool, do it somewhere else.

I've seen a few too many people pulling the SJW card and Virtue Signaling lately for my own comfort, so I'm just throwing that out here before I get anymore flak for it than I have in the past: Fuck you, fuck your opinion, it's my decision and you don't have to look at a goddamn thing of mine. I'm neither A: hurting anyone, or B: violating any rule, regulation or law.

So yeah. Throwin' that out there now, just to get it in the open. I'm not going to engage in so-called "discourse" with anyone about how "wrong" I am. You're a cunt if you try it. Period. Full stop. I'm normally a saint; I'm normally an INCREDIBLY patient and nice person. Ask my friends, my customers, complete strangers I've been cool with time and again. But on this issue?

Call me a prick if you like, but that's where I stand. Don't like it? Too bad. I'm gender fluid, I'm older than more than half the whiny little bitches trying to get into people's business, I'm sick, I'm tired and I'm not putting up with your immature garbage.

To everyone who's been cool to me for all these years on FA? You guys are great; love ya. We've always been cool, and always will be. Don't think this is aimed at you, or even any one particular individual. I'm just tired of some really toxic shit I've been seeing of late, and I'm not standing for anyone trying to bring that my way.

For those who are interested, I'm out of the hospital and in recovery. Doing a bit better, though not perfect, and I'm going to be recovering for a couple of weeks before I'm back to what I'd call "normal".

To those who showed concern and wished me well, thank you so much. It really does mean a lot that some folks cared enough to comment. Hope you're all doing well.

Still in the hospital, on a lot of antibiotics. No idea when I'll be out. Thus far, no word on whether I'll be dealing with surgery, either.

But I'm alive. So there's that.

Not going into significant detail, but I'm very unwell physically and going into the hospital tonight. Don't know what's going to happen, what's wrong with me, or what treatment will amount to. I'm scared and in pain, but wanted everyone to know what was up.

I'll update when I can.

...With reliable work flow and quick turnaround time. I actually have money right now, but all my artist friends are either on hiatus, having trouble or just...AWOL. It bums me out, 'cause I so rarely have commission funds, but I've been doing well with my writing work lately and I want to get more work.

I'm at least waiting on one piece that should be in relatively soon. Just need more trustworthy and reasonably quick artists. Every time I get a new artist I have this trepidation about them, though; I've been burned SO many times now ;_;

Alright, folks. I haven't gotten any new art in a while, but I've been getting back on the bike with my writing, and have a finished story in the wings. What I'd like, though, is cover art, or even just an eye-catching art piece to go with it.

The very specific requirements, though:

I need an artist who's comfortable drawing humans.
I need an artist who's comfortable drawing feathered/winged characters.
I need an artist who likes BBW and Shortstacks.
They must be willing to work from real-life refs of one of the individuals; my commissioner and friend has provided me with pictures of herself for this purpose.

My budget is currently sitting at $50, but I may be able to work out some wiggle room. I'm also hoping to find someone with a good turnover, because I've had a lot of artists (and I mean a lot) flake and burn me, which is part of why I haven't GOTTEN any art recently. So...Like...If anyone reads this and knows of anyone, or is an artist looking to help out, just note me or comment below.

Thanks!

That's right, folks; I have a download code for your own copy of Undertale on the Nintendo Switch. If anyone would like it, I'm happy to trade for a modest piece of art (It's a $15 value) if you're up for it, first come first serve, but if nobody wants it then I'll be choosing a random person who comments for it in three days.

So, that's it. Want a copy of Undertale if you don't have it? Either trade for the code, or just comment and we'll see who gets it via an RNG on the 13th.

Happy Holidays!

Hey everyone. Been a while, and I'm kicking around trying to chip the rust off of the ol' writer's block. So I had a random idea, and thought I'd throw it out:

Would anyone like me to create a random Sci-Fi based character for them, just for fun? If so, comment below. Here's what you'll get:

Character name.
Species.
Description.
Ship model.
Notable Crew.
Current activities.

Adult Info, if requested:
Sexual Preference.
Kinks.
Notable sexual escapades.
Lovers/Frequent Partners.

Any other details can be asked about post-creation, and you can choose Adult or Non-Adult. The character will be from my main Sci-Fi setting, though I can also do my Post-Apocalyptic setting if that's more your speed. If you have a general liking for a certain archetype (Mechanical, Near-Human, Mammal, Reptile, Aquatic, Exotic, etc) just include a request for something like that. Same goes for sexual preference.

These're just concept characters, but I might use them for stuff later with permission (Writing, art of both adult and clean varieties, etc.)

I'm not really expecting any takers, but if this does work out I was considering doing this for other settings later. So...Uh...If anyone likes the idea, just comment? Kay?

Thanks, love ya guys.

Though I've not been doing well, and have been on something of a hiatus, is still important of me to wish everyone out there a happy Halloween! It's my favorite holiday, and also my anniversary with my poly-family.

So have fun out there kiddos; watch something spooky, get some treats, and just enjoy!

I'm considering whether I can get some seasonal goodness this year, as I've been a bit slow on the art collecting gig these last few months. I know a few artists on here, and I'm wondering if anyone was planning some seasonal works, either for commission or for free? Just curious; my budget's pretty slim right now, but I like to plan ahead.

Hopefully I'll be back on track soon. Again, sorry for the delay. Just coping with my cat's death, and some other stuff. Sick right now, which suuucks.

I'm posting this as a heads up to anyone who knows me; I'm going to be taking a couple of days off from writing and other projects. My cat, Lexi, passed away today. I'm really torn up about this, and need a bit of time before I try to get back into a head space conducive for creativity.

Sorry for delays on the seasonal shorties.

Just wanted to get it out there that I may do Halloween short stories again this year, focusing on properly seasonal things.

We're talking probably around a 5K word limit, payment only upon completion (per usual), with my normal caveat and warning that if I get a block, I won't be able to work. S'why I don't take payment up front.

But, if anybody's interested, let me know via PM and I'll see what I can do.

Going to be low-balling prices, per usual with my Shorties, so expect a few bucks off if you do get something.

Seasonally appropriate themes this year will include:
Ghosts.
Demons.
Monsters.

So yeah. Just let me know!

Love ya all;

Joe.

So I've been working on my Pokemon tabletop concept that only I give a crap about, and I just had to throw this out there:

An obsessive trainer who is basically a Pokemon conspiracy theorist, but whose focus is NOT on legendary or rare Pokemon. Rather, on the concept of totally mundane Pokemon and how their evolutionary lines make no sense. A "Sane man in an Insane World" character, who wants nothing more than to prove that he's not insane by finding a pre-evolution of one particular Pokemon just so he can verify its existence.

This Pokemon? Doduo. The pre-evolution which I've decided WILL be a thing? Doduno; a small Flying-type still in the shell, save for feet and a single long-necked, goofy looking baby bird head. This poor sucker'll never find one, and even if he does, I'm going to make sure that little fucker evolves before he can prove it.

Welcome to Hell, long-suffering conspiracy theorist Pokemon guy.

If anyone wants to help out Tiki so they can save their fish-baby, it'd be a lovely thing to do. I don't have the cash for it right now, but I can at least signal boost and help out!

Hey folks. I don't normally do this sort of thing, but my wife was hoping for a bit of help with an art program she's trying to learn. She's never had any art program before, and is starting with Clip Studio.

https://www.clipstudio.net/en

She's hoping someone out there that I know can actually help her out with some pointers, or even walk her through some stuff if possible. Anyone know the program and mind lending a helping hand? Get in touch if you please.

So, I've been working slowly on an endeavor on my end of things.

I am, for lack of a better term, a collector of nerdy media. Comics, novels, movies...And games. Hundreds of games. Thousands, even, across the generations.

So I have decided to start chiseling away at my Pile of Shame, as it were. Here's where you folks come in:

What sort of game should I play next? Action, RPG, Horror, FPS, Adventure, Survival, Retro Classic?

Oh yeah. I'm gonna have a hard time waiting for this movie.

So, I'm on something of a new movie kick recently, and have now seen both of these films. Opinions?

Hellboy: B+, maybe A-. Pacing is a bit wonky, Milla Jovovich is still a fucking travesty as an actress, but everyone else is solid, and the level of respect for detail and comic lore is on point. There are, of course, differences here and there. That's fine, though; I didn't expect them to be perfect. My biggest complaints are, again, Jovovich and her inability to act her way out of a paper bag, and the soundtrack. It's NOT a bad soundtrack, but it is INSANELY LOUD and intrusive sometimes. The movie would be a solid A- if the soundtrack would just calm the FUCK down for thirty seconds and stop accentuating every single scene with a new song screaming for attention. We get it, you wanted to make a loud, fun action movie. Shut the fuck up.

Shazam: A- to A. Again, pacing's a bit weird, but the villain is good due to a strong, serious performance in a movie with a distinct sense of humor, the main cast and secondary cast are strong, visuals are great (save for one or two rough spots of CGI being too pervasive), and it's all in all a fun film. Weak points are probably the use of one of my least favorite tropes, the Precocious but "special" child (usually an autistic child, which seems to be the implication here), as well as ignoring some of the movie's own rules for the sake of cool/humorous things. Still, I can happily say it's a very solid film, with an interesting mid-credit scene involving a rather obscure villain.

Going to try and catch Captain Marvel before Endgame, as well.

If anyone wants a more in-depth discussion about the movies, feel free to let me know. If you don't mind spoilers or you've already seen them, can discuss the strong and weak points.

Either way, check 'em out for yourselves if you can. Good times!

I don't do it often, but one of the things I do on the side is actually visual art in the form of pained canvases featuring Veve, or Vodou religious symbols. As an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church, specializing in the esoteric and less mainstream religions, I have practice with rituals and symbols of various faiths, including Vodou. I find the Veve to be beautiful symbols, powerful in both meaning and appearance, and have made them for protection, luck, love and wisdom for others in the past.

I just finished one of my canvases today, a freehand Veve painted for a loved one. It's rough, and due to the nature of Veve the exact design varies from creation to creation, but I rather enjoy the work of making them. Each piece is blessed and properly tended to, in the most respectful fashion. Would anyone be interested in seeing one of my projects? It's nothing professional, but it's not meant to be.

And here we have this one, for questions to ANY of my OCs, or about ANY of my settings/projects not related to my Pokemon Homebrew.

Ask me (us) anything you want, and we'll answer. No holds barred, as far as we're concerned.

Alright, folks. Been a while, so it's time for another Q&A Session! I'll answer any questions here about my Pokemon Homebrew setting, and you can ask questions of characters FROM the setting if you like.

Last time we had questions about Poke balls from the setting, and not much else. So by all means, go nuts, ask what you want.

People who'll answer questions, if asked:

Professors Peach, Peach and Plum from the Triple P.
Charlotte (Guest from  Ninjacharles, if he doesn't mind)
Our Assorted Villains.
And any of the Leaders/Trainers from my setting found in my gallery!

Knock yourselves out! I hope to get lots of questions to help flesh out the knowledge that's out there for my homebrew.

Well, I've created a folder for my writing in my gallery, finally. Now, I won't be sorting in all of the pictures with standalone stories, but anything that's actually a word file will be going in there? I'll also be looking into posting more of my work. I have a LOT of stuff that I may not post, but a lot of stuff that I'm considering throwing up in case anyone wants to see it. I'm assuming not, but HEY, whatever. Enjoy, if you do. Tell me what'cha think at that time.
