Chapter 9 went online late last night. I hope everyone enjoys it. I did in writing it because it genually just wrote itself. I just started with the first few lines until Rose comes in and it just flowed out of me from there.

For the news portion today I share some info on a "possible" colab between myself and  molotov. I came up with a story that I think he might enjoy writing with me, but as of right now (10:30 pm PST) I have not heard from him about the project I am dubbing "Project: Midgar." Why midgar? No idea. I will share this much about it.

Take X-men and Final Fantasy 7, toss in some Fahrenheit 9/11, add a one bottle of O'l Janx Spirit (if you read the book I am referring to, you'll get that part), mix well and serve over Silent Hill in a tall glass. Add one olive.

There you have it folks. My entire idea for a story in one very strong drink recipe. If you can understand that, my hat is off to you.

BTW, first person to tell me what mystery ingredient and olive is mentioning gets a walk on roll for Chapter 11 or 12 of Time Drifts By.

Before I start, chapter 8 is up. I wanted to get that out of the way first. If you don't like to hear me bitch, stop reading.

Ok, since your still here, I am in a pissy mood. I really want to get a furry avatar of Teige somehow, but what really sucks is that most artists don't read the art trade forum and I have no money available for commissions. All my cash is tied up with bills, rent, gas and food. Seriously, I have no money left for video games any more. But still, life goes on...

Hey everyone. I know I promised that I would have 6 on during the weekend, but I was busy with work. However, I had a short shift this morning so I grinded it out. During that time, my brain kept working of what Teige was going to say and worked out the diologue for 7. Then I keot working it and now I finished it too. So, check them out.

Other news....not much. Off to bed now. Peace.

I know with the crash of FA I should have had part 6 on here the day it came up but what with work and my computer deciding to go into the trash pile I haven't had the chance to write it yet. Please keep calm and I might have a new chapter up for both Time Drifts By and Quest for Freedom sometime this weekend if I can get a break.

In other news, I might have to end QFF for awhile because inspiration has struck me again. I have got a crazy idea for a semi futuristic fantasy/thriller. Imagine Silent Hill meets Final Fantasy 7 and 8. Yeah, kind of like that but with furries. I'll keep everyone posted on devlopments between this and the rest of my projects. Till then, please be patient as I try and write chapter 6 this week once again.

Hey guys.

Sorry I haven't held up to my end of the deal about chapter 6 of Time Drifts By being up by now. I ran into a case of writers block and it should be up soon. Not going to give a date yet, but rest assured I will have it up by the end of the week. I think people are going to be surprised at it. Another character is going to show up though, bringing even more problems.

In other news, Quest for Freedom is also in the beginning stages. I expect to have a prologue along with, possibly, a first chapter by the beginning of next week.

I'm always looking for ideas about characters and story line ideas. Even if they are not in the styles I do, I love hearing them and giving feedback as well.

Final note, I'm thinking about starting to take commissions. Maybe.

Okay, Chapter 5 is up. It's kind of short because I knew where 4 left off and 6 would start, but not how to get there. It was a tough problem but I figured I would let in some light about Teige's background some more. We find out about his mom and dad as well as his twin sister (whose name I haven't thought of yet).

On another note, I have also uploaded my first four characters for my pirate story. Teige, Rose, Max and Kalli are all coming back as well as some new faces. So far though, only the main four have been fleshed out as well as the ship and the armada. Any ideas out there on some anthro pirates?

Final note, another help plea, I need to figure out two anthros to be bartenders so Teige is working less hours. I really want Teige to take the owner responsibility and run with it. Any ideas will be looked at fully. Who knows, if you give me your furry, he/she might end up with one of the leads. Options?

Well all, chapter 4 is up right now. I should give fair warning that this isn't my favorite entry into the series. I think it's a little too much.

In other news though, I have started character development on a new series. Won't say much yet because I want to start gathering interest in this new project. It's not going to be a modern day piece like 'Time Goes By' has been. Teige, Rose and Kalli are probably going to make it in the new one, but they won't be themselves character wise. Stand by for more anouncements.

Anyone who wants to sketch me the cover of either 'Time Goes By' or my new project, contact me for more information and your ideas.

Last bit of news, Chapter 5 might be available some time tonight or tomorrow. Look forward to sharing this one with you as we see Rose and Kalli interact for the first time.

Okay, well, for starters, if you haven't noticed, chapter 3 to 'Time Goes By' is available now. It has been fun writing this chapter because now we get to introduce even more characters into the fray.

In other news, I've decided to take a stand on this whole 'stay in Iraq or leave' thing going on. Before I get to my view, I should have to state a few things for the record.

Number one, I am a former member of the United States Navy and DAMN PROUD of it. I have learned so much thanks to them and they gave me a expereince I will never forget. My time might have sucked ass, but the friends I met during that time made up for it a whole hell lot better then anything I could have done in Collage.

Number 2, I've served my country proudly for the last four years. I wasn't kicked out, or anything. I left on my terms after my time of service was done.

Number 3, as of yesterday, 8 friends of mine that I knew on a PERSONAL level have died for this cause.

So, my view is this. We need to stay. My reasoning is that the Iraqi government, if you can call it that, is too week to stand on it's own just yet. If we pull out, everyone else goes with us. That would leave the weak Iraqi government and military against a more agile, smarter and far more deadly terrorist organization. I stand by my decision and believe that ALL returning troops deserve our gratitude. Not for a few days, or weeks. They have kicked ass, just doing their jobs, and they get so much flak for it that they deserve our gratitude till the day they die.

Remember that you tree huggers that spit on my boot. Remember that the protesters outside of my base. Remember that those who hold up signs on the corner declaring that the troops are evil. We're not just conscripts who get drafted anymore, every single one of us signed that dotted line on our own free will and gave our oath for this country.

If you can't tell, I'm pissed off a select group of people who take this country of mine for granted. I know a majority of those who read this will say, "What is he so pissed off about?" and I'll tell you. Today, a few of my buddies from a Marine squadron went out, in uniform, for some lunch and to just get away from base. They picked me up and we were off. Well, we found a group of protesters and they stopped all of us. I don't look military anymore but I was still wearing my dog tags. Well, they started shouting at us that we were not welcome in this country anymore and that we are doing Satan's work and all nonsense like that. Then, I swear to god above and anything else you want me to swear on, they spit on us. ALL OF US! There were 6 of us, 5 in Marine uniform and one pissed off, now, civilian. And lo and behold, they had to hole me back from kicking the protesters asses.

Some people just piss me off, and they are apparently on the top of the list.

"And to St. Peter, he will tell,
"One more Marine reporting, sir.
I've spent my time in Hell."


Okay, two bits of news. First off, I have just finished putting up chapter 2 to Time Goes By. Let me hear some noise for this one. It would mean allot.

---

Now, on to the real reason this journal is being written. I received some disturbing news today in the mail. One of my best friends from high school was killed today in Iraq. His convoy was hit by a IED and he was killed instantly. So, I don't know how this is going to affect my writing speed or anything else for that matter. I just wish that everyone who reads this knows EXACTLY what those people are fighting for.

Hi again.

I've been kind of busy these last couple of days. Been on a wave of inspiration and been burning the midnight oil. I got the first chapter up today.

Brief summery - A very rough storm causes Teige to think about closing shop early. Only himself, Rose the barmaid and Reese, the newly successful writer, are there. However, something will cause everyones lives to change...for better or worse? -

I would love to hear what everyone thinks, get some ideas on the fan base and see if anyone has ideas for the on going series. Till then, I'll be here, writing away. Probably no adult situations till chapter 3 and yiff probably not until chapter 4 at least. Sorry guys, but characters come first.

Well, I guess this means I am a official member of the site now. Just to let everyone who reads this know, my skills do not lie in artistry. I write. All my submissions are going to be stories of some sort. As of right now, I am not doing commissions until my own project gets off the ground. That project is a very in depth romantic comedy which will only be available here.

I am also looking for a artist to help me out with something. I want a cast picture of my characters, side by side at the bar where a majority of the story will probably take place. What I am looking for is realistic animorphs in a modern day bar located in a basement. Who ever can pitch their ideas to me, and still be somewhat reasonable with pricing will get the commission.

For Pony!
