Merry Christmas! (And Updates)
Posted 8 months agoMerry Christmas y'all! Hope it was a good one, or at least a relaxing one with at least one gift under a tree. With the well wishes out of the way, it's time to get into the meat of this journal, a long overdue update.
This year has been a ride, one marked, once more, by a chronic inability to upload consistently despite a backlog that stretches back years. It's not for lack of trying. Some part of it has to come from just, uploading seems to require I be in a certain mindspace, while writing is something I can just do. I write a ton, a little bit every day at least. I have a few longer stories in excess of 10K words awaiting upload or polishing, and a ton of shorter stories. Those are all going to be uploaded in due time.
However, what I've come to have a surprising amount of is microfiction. Stories that are so short as to not stand on their own, sometimes not even breaching a thousand words. What to do with these is a debate I've labored over and I still don't know. I tried doing a short TF compilation many years ago, and I'm kind of leaning towards that again, three themed to a post, simply because I think they're too short to be satisfying. Maybe a duo per upload? I don't know, lemme know what y'all think I should be doing with this.
In the coming year, I have a lot of projects I want to do, and the first half may simply end up being finishing comms, taking a couple of those, getting Citadel (a CYOA) out, and in general try to clear out more of the backlog. I want to also standardize some stuff and in general try to keep moving forward.
See you all soon! Thank you for reading this far!

Why The Uploads?
Posted 2 years agoHey all! I'm sure a lot of you have noticed that I've started dumping stories without much editing in them and just calling it a day. I have been doing that as of late mostly because:
1: The backlog needs to be cleared and any sort of schedule beyond this won't stick around for long, these stories need to be put out and taken care of.
2: I plan to open commissions later in August! I'm going to be working on a bit of a different way of doing it this time, and prices will be three cents a word, so even while I handle my backlog I'll be opening up and taking a few comms, as well as an art trade or two.
3: I'm just so tired of having such a backlog. I have the benefit of hindsight now but the things posting these stories have done for my mental health is incredible.
This won't continue forever, I don't have the stories and I just don't write fast enough, but while I can, I'm going to be clearing a lot of this backlog out. A lot of these stories are old and thus aren't up to snuff or anywhere near my normal level of quality, but it won't be that way for long.

The Backlog To Come
Posted 2 years agoSo, I've been pretty quiet this year. I am not dead, but I've definitely had a hard time with writing this year, so my writing is slow and steady, I have a lot of things up on Patreon at least, but beyond that, I have something more that I feel I want to start tackling this year.
I have a backlog.
The backlog of stories has been building up for almost five years at this point. I have somewhere in the ballpark of about 90-ish stories to post, and with how difficult it is to find editors, I'm going to be self-editing where I can to make sure stuff is at least readable. However, I am also going to be posting from the back of the queue leading up, so prepare for a glut of old work to start getting posted, alongside stuff like Dragon Of The Isles. Occasionally I'll post some newer stuff, but it'll mostly be the backlog work. My old stuff is not up to snuff nowadays, so I figured I'd let people know ahead of the coming tide. I'm (hoping, and it rarely works out) that I can post 1 to 2 things a week. I'm going to be prioritizing trades and commissions first and foremost, so expect a lot of those!
Thanks for reading and sorry for the radio silence!

Stories in art commissions?
Posted 3 years agoThis is something I've been debating for a while. I have art to post. A LOT of art, and the mostly slow output has been hampered by my wanting to do full stories for each piece that I post, or mostly full stories. Does that matter a lot to people or not at all? If it does, does small snippets of context with the occasional full story seem like a fair tradeoff? Not all pieces can provide for a full story and would inevitably get some small ones even if the story does matter to you all.
And that's pretty much the bulk of my question, does the story matter or would you all like to just have me upload as many commissions as I can sooner rather than later?

The New Year And My Plans
Posted 3 years agoWell, 2021 is over, and man, my year was a mix of good and awrful. It wasn't middling, but instead seemed to oscillate between the two extremes. But that's not what I'm here to talk about.
2021 was, writing-wise, a fantastic year. I managed to write a lot of stories and get a lot of stuff done. I released the first of many novellas and, in the later months, dedicated myself to clearing out a commission queue that hasn't been empty for two years. I am still working on it, and plan to remain closed for the foreseeable future, as well as taking a break (of about three to four months) once the queue is finished to work on my own stories for a bit. That is one of my goals for 2022.
What are my other plans? Well, I want to release another novella, hopefully two. The first one will likely be free with a pay-what-you-want model as it's not quite as professionally written as Reality Drift was. After that? Well, the third one is a secret for now, with more to be revealed when it's closer to becoming a thing. I want to grow my Patreon some as well, so I ask you all, what do you want to see as Patreon perks?
Another goal of 2022 is to edit and post every commission that has not yet been posted. We have some anthro to anthro, and some more unusual stories among the pile, lots of diversity. This will likely take most of the year and is the one I am most likely to fail, as I tend to need a lot of editors and rotate them through my work.
With these goals in mind I will be moving ahead. I wish you all a good year ahead and hope for the best!

Art Dump Incoming!
Posted 5 years agoSo I know it's been a while since I uploaded, but as of late I've had quite the backlog of commissions and have decided that I'm going to be posting them. Slowly but surely I want to get them all shared on here, though instead of putting them in my main gallery (and clogging it up) I'm going to be posting them to scraps, all of them with a bit of a story to go along with them. It can be as simple as a few characters talking, or (for two pieces in specific) long and involved stories. The upload time will really depend on when I finish the stories, as they are going to be dependent on when I finish them rather than on any set schedule.
I look forward to sharing them with you all over the coming days/weeks!

New Scheduling!
Posted 5 years agoSo, first off, I want to apologize for the sort of erratic posting even though I have stories ready to go. Covid has had an impact on a lot of my work and it's affected my energy more than I thought, especially as it drags on longer and longer and I'm not called back to work.
So, the first most important part of this journal is that, as I've begun self-editing Dragon Of The Isles and want to try and get a rapid release schedule going, I will not be using the Sunday slot for it. Rather, once a chapter is edited, it's going straight up on here as soon as I get a chance. This means the major bottleneck is my editing speed, which remains slower than I'd like. However, as my confidence and editing speed increases, I hope to be able to get the last fourteen chapters out in due time.
On the topic of writing energy, I have another thing to note. On Friday I am going to be trying to do semi-consistent open request streams for short stories, anywhere from a hundred words or so up to a thousand. These streams are run exclusively via Discord and can be found on my server here: https://discord.gg/QaCD58W Anyone can submit a request at the allotted Friday time.
Relatedly, I have a Twitter where I've been posting random thoughts every now and then, found here: https://twitter.com/tieneeva
And lastly, I also have a Patreon with access to polls and early previews of my work (which has been in a slump at the moment), found here: https://www.patreon.com/Chimafan

Status Updates
Posted 5 years agoI need to start using FurAffinity journals more...
So this is basically me dropping in to give an update on the state of things and all. With the death of Deviantart I uploaded a small Stash purge to my Deviantart account, found here: https://www.deviantart.com/chimafan123 (I am sorry but I will not be uploading the stories here, they came before Eclipse). This is also the reason for the uploads that have been coming these past few weeks, I am attempting to clear out my Stash (where most of my files are located) Though I still have upwards of 20 stories to be edited from there, I have a lot of stuff in the my new storage files that I need to edit as well. I want to keep this upload stream up for as long as possible.
I also have far more Dragon Of The Isles chapters to post, seeing how it came out on the edge of being a proper novel. I want to try and make it two chapters per Sunday when it's uploaded, but I can't promise I'll always be able to match the pace I want to keep, Hopefully you'll be seeing the rest of Savannah's story soon!
On the topic of commissions, I am still closed and likely will be until I clear out my sizable list of stories, I want to say August as a hopeful time for when I open, as there are many projects in the pipeline I want to focus on and clear out. I will likely host a raffle when my backlog is finally cleared out. Until then it's worth noting I've been having monthly story votes on my Patreon, found here: https://www.patreon.com/Chimafan There are also early story previews going up as soon as I finish stories on it!
Finally, as a reminder, I have a Discord server, found here: https://discord.gg/RPHXby I stream on it often, though as I'm currently in the middle of a rut streams are on hold. Slowly beginning to bounce back however.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this, see you soon!

New Year Plans+ Commission Sale (Sort of)
Posted 5 years agoI have tried to keep things up to date here, though I will admit I kinda dragged my feet with this one, mostly due to the holidays and work.
So! With 2020 literally days away, I wanted to cover my plan for the next year.
I want to start posting more frequently, this is going to be the hardest one to do, as I'm still working on self-editing of my works. In addition, I may start posting to scraps some stuff I've written. They're not transformation works, but they're stories nonetheless and usually involve anthros of some description.
Even without the more frequent posts, did you know I have a Twitter? Found here: https://twitter.com/tieneeva I've mostly been using it to post short kinky stories whenever I feel a desire coming on. It's not much and I rarely post there compared to some artists (as well as lacking the humor and wit of many) but I'm trying.
And that brings me to commissions. Since 2016 I've used some variation or another of my first sheet. For 2020 I'm going to do a total revamping of my sheet from the ground up. Some areas (like my maybes and don'ts) are going to be entirely reworked, as well as being accepted on a case-by-case basis rather than first-come first-serve. I don't plan to open normal commissions just yet however, I'm still working on the sheet.
Alright, if you were just here for the updates, the next part is related to the second half of the title.
However, I am doing something of a test. I'm currently testing something, which involves taking a pre-defined plot and selling slots to fit into a short series of TF stories.
Currently, the plot is simple: A man creates a type of Pokeball that can transform humans into Pokemon, and he sets out to build a team using the new Pokeballs.
I'm currently looking at a flat 20$, with a guaranteed 2K words and no upper limit. So if I were to write 4K words I would still charge only 20$.
Due to the plot being set in stone, details like the Pokemon of choice and specific detail, as well as any questions, should be sent in a note! Registration for the slots is currently open.
Current available slots:
1: Taken
2: Taken
3: Taken
4: open
5: Taken
6: Taken
Thanks for reading everyone and a happy new year!

Gallery Updates, Discord, And Other Things
Posted 6 years agoSo, first off, I am working to be more communicative, I said that last time, And part of that is writing more journal entries. At least, that's a part of it. And I have plenty of things to go over this time around,
One of the first and biggest things is that I've created a fairly quiet chatroom to talk, share art, and discuss whatever you feel like! If that sounds like a server you'd like to join, the link is here: https://discord.gg/3vUeSzW
Like I said, it's a fairly quiet server but we have people there and I'm fairly active. I look forward to seeing you there!
Now for what is arguably the meat of this update:
A lot of my older stories are written in a strange, novel format with line breaks instead of paragraph breaks and weird things like that. I'm going to slowly be updating the old ones to fix my writing style to the style I use now. Very often I will not be changing most stories beyond a few reworked sentences.
In addition I'll be updating each description noting the day of the change. Though a while ago, Blackstar Station is the first one to receive the updates, and, as I saw the chance, I updated a sentence to reference forward to its sequel.
Like I said, this isn't going to be major reworkings of entire stories, and it's a side project as I try to put stories out more consistently.
Which allows me to bring up the last point I intend to cover.
Those that read my last two stories, Heaven's Drone and Hotel Voyeur, may have noticed that I've made the swap to PDF format. Now, there is a reason for this.
My previous stories were written on a different text processor, and the quotation marks, as well as other bits of grammar, adhered to Plain Text, which is what all of my other stories have been written in. The new text processor I use does not use Plain Text compatible quotations.
This would mean to make a story written on the new one compatible with plain text, I would need to manually go through and replace each quotation mark and apostrophe with the plain text compatible version. For small shorts, this would be an inconvenience, for something like Voyeur, the enormity of the story (and amount of dialogue) makes such a thing totally unfeasible.
However, some people like plain text, and I still use the old processor, so there's going to be a mix of styles. New stories written on the new processor will be done as a PDF, older stories and ones written on the old processor will be plain text. I don't expect to stop using the older processor in the future, but it will become less frequent as time goes on, I hope.
Finally, posting stories more often. I am trying, very hard. I recently had a bout of burnout and have been working to recover from that. I'm back on track and hope to be posting stuff with some semblance of frequency quite soon.
Thank you all for supporting me, no matter how long you've been here. It really means a lot to me.

Shines, Patreon, And Other Updates
Posted 6 years agoYes, I realize I rarely post here. But the introduction of shinies gives me a reason to post here on top of another one I explain further down. Pull up a chair, this could get a little long because I have a lot of topics I want to cover with this.
First things first. The Shiny system.
While I think this is a brilliant idea in practice, I will not be using it myself, as I don't fully trust FA with my Paypal and on top of that the security that the site operates under is not great. I don't know if I'll ever really trust FA with my information, to be entirely honest. Though the mention of these new fangled things does bring me to another point and announcement I've been wanting to make.
I've got a Patreon now! It can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/Chimafan
It's still in the early phases, expect stuff to change and shift as I work out what works and what doesn't. There's a big thing I must note however: none of the actual stories will be Patreon exclusive. There will be exclusive polls and early viewings, but it will always be posted here at a later date. (Currently looking at 1-2 weeks in advance). Like I said, expect things to change as I work things out.
Something I want to bring up but can't say much about yet is I'm currently working on an anthology of TF stories. I don't know anything besides saying that I have one story completed and two more in the works, while I'm aiming for around 5-7 total. Details on it will likely emerge more as I finish parts of it and in general make progress on it.
That brings me around to my stories, which have become rather varied.
I'm gonna try splitting up my content a bit more. Along with posting my backlog, I want to make one story between a thousand and three thousand words each month at least, preferably every two weeks. These ones I hope to be able to edit myself so I can manage a consistent posting schedule with them. Alongside that I want to finally post backlog stories and commissions that have been waiting for a while.
That being said I don't want to be posting shorts constantly. I've been wanting to write some longer, more serious stuff, stuff like Hotel Voyeur and The Siren's Song. These are slow and take time, so they're not going to be a constant, but I do want to write some of them. i do quite enjoy writing longer stuff, I've found. Especially since 2019 has been a stellar year for my writing, even if it doesn't show with my lack of posting.
That brings up one of my final points, I want to be more communicative with my audience.
Especially this year I've been looking to really improve my writing, so I'm wanting to be able to talk more with you guys, see what works and what doesn't, that way I can start honing my work a bit further.
If you've somehow sat through all that to this point, than you so much! I have a few exciting projects in the pipeline and hope to be able to talk about them more in the near future!

I'm gonna try splitting up my content a bit more. Along with posting my backlog, I want to make one story between a thousand and three thousand words each month at least, preferably every two weeks. These ones I hope to be able to edit myself so I can manage a consistent posting schedule with them. Alongside that I want to finally post backlog stories and commissions that have been waiting for a while.
That being said I don't want to be posting shorts constantly. I've been wanting to write some longer, more serious stuff, stuff like Hotel Voyeur and The Siren's Song. These are slow and take time, so they're not going to be a constant, but I do want to write some of them. i do quite enjoy writing longer stuff, I've found. Especially since 2019 has been a stellar year for my writing, even if it doesn't show with my lack of posting.
That brings up one of my final points, I want to be more communicative with my audience.
Especially this year I've been looking to really improve my writing, so I'm wanting to be able to talk more with you guys, see what works and what doesn't, that way I can start honing my work a bit further.
If you've somehow sat through all that to this point, than you so much! I have a few exciting projects in the pipeline and hope to be able to talk about them more in the near future!
Commission Prices (Commissions open!)
Posted 7 years agoHello everyone! I am Krytalking, transformation writer extraordinaire! Have an idea for a transformation story (or just a story) you want realized? Then I can do the job for you!
I am a writer of transformation stories, and specialize in anthros and gender change. However, I am not limited nor do I require those for any of my stories.
Interested? Scroll through my pricing sheet, check out how to contact me, and toss me a note! If you're unsure of what something will cost you, send a note and I can give you a quote!
Interested? Take a look through my prices and send me a note if you're interested!
Short Transformation Story (Between 1,000 and 1,500 words) $10:
A quick transformation story with focus on a fast transformation, a short setup, and a short payoff. These are usually collected into short story collections, but can be posted separately on request. Examples of both can be found in the links below:
Medium Length Story (Between 1600 and 2500 words) $15:
Something closer to what I would call the average, This allows for more of a plot, a more descriptive transformation, and of course more payoff. With a fair mix of transformation and plot, this hits a satisfying size and provides more than enough to be entertaining.
Longer TF Story (Between 2600 and 3500 words) $25:
The ideal size for a transformation story, this length gives plot more significance and more payoff. This is ideal for longer length plots and an extremely detailed transformation.
TF Story over 3500 words:
Thirty five hundred is my word limit on a set price, with lengths beyond getting a bit fuzzy. If you want something over that length, it is a custom order, and the price is not set in stone, instead, I charge a cent per word, and will provide a quote during discussion. Due to this being more in-depth a discussion to work out the details and a quote will be given. Do note that there are no additional charges to this type of story, but an upfront deposit is required.
Please note:
Word counts are not rigid with their upper limit and I allow myself roughly 250 words of variation upwards, but never downwards.
Not interested in a plain transformation story? Want to add something that may make your story a bit more unique? Don't be afraid to ask! Do note however, that I charge extra for some things, namely the following:
Additional TFs: $3 for a second transformation, $5 for all after. (Note that this can apply to custom orders depending on the number of TFs/context.)
Anything outside my comfort zone: $2.50 Per: Some stuff is, for lack of a better word, uncomfortable for me to do, and as a result there is a slight charge to added to all non-custom order stories that involve any of the following:
Feral transformations.
Object transformations. (Like a chair, for example, petrification is fine as long as it's not the only thing I'm doing.)
Age Regression/Progression within a certain limit.
Fusion. (Outside of special situations.)
Do note however there are things I will never do, and they are as follows:
Nothing mature with under-age characters.
Nothing involving toilet stuff or watersports.
No diapers, at all.
No Age Regression under 18, and no Age Progression beyond 40.
Feet. Nothing against it, but I just won't write it, sorry.
(If there is something not listed here you will be informed.)
Now, there's one last thing to work out before contacting me, and that's the maturity level. I work with a variety of different story types, and can offer three blanket maturity levels as follows:
PG-13: Stuff is kept safe. (Add $2 additional charge)
Mature: Adult content and more descriptive TFs go here, but stays within DA's guidelines.
Adult: This is anything that includes content too mature for DeviantArt, and will receive a DA-safe version, with the full story being posted to FurAffinity.
With all that worked out, there a couple things to keep in mind:
While I write at a decent pace, I have other obligations as well, and for that reason I must ask that you be patient when you commission me. For that same reason I ask for payment when I have finished a commission.
Commissions are a first come, first serve basis, with a max queue of four.
If you wish to commission me, either comment or send a note!
When a commission is confirmed and I have begun work, it will be noted on the queue below as being in writing, once a project has approved by the commissioner and moved to editing, it will be moved out of the queue.
Major rewrites, plot changes, or entire concept changes late in the commission will incur additional charges up to and including the whole price of the story.
Contacting me is very simple! Read through my sheet, work out what kind of story you want, and send a note! In notes we will discuss the details, I'll give you a quote, and if it all goes well, I will start work on your story once it's is number one in the queue below.
Current queue:
Slot 1: Stardustlightseeker (DA) -Writing-
Slot 2: -Open-
Slot 3: -Open-
Requests:
Interested in a story and think it's one I'll enjoy? Toss it to me as a request and if I like it, I might turn it into a story! Do note of course, that requests have a few rules:
A request is generally something I should want to work on, not a chore for me to do.
If you make a request, please have at least a story idea and a TF picked out, do not just toss vague suggestions my way, have an idea and explain the idea to me. Not doing this is a great way to get turned down.
A request may take time, it is not something I will have a set time for.
If I turn down your request, it's nothing personal.
I do not do multiple transformations in requests, ever.
Due to the nature of requests, I do no guarantee that your story will be made.
To get in touch with me about a request, don't hesitate to send a note and see if we can work something out!
Art Trades:
Are you a fellow writer or artist and want to work out an art trade with me? Toss me a note and let's see if we can work something out! However, if you are a story writer, please note the following:
If you do an art trade with me, I expect the resulting stories to be of a roughly similar length, I find it disheartening to do a trade, write a 3000 word transformation story, and then get a 300 word script for one in return. Please take this into consideration before contacting me for a trade.
Thanks for reading everyone!

No Story This Week
Posted 7 years agoSo, apologies everyone for not putting up a story here today, as I have been having problems with finding an editor for Downfall, the 200 watcher special I've planned to post here to celebrate. I'm rather reluctant about releasing things without them being edited, and with this story being a special and being my longest story yet I'd rather see it edited instead of releasing it as the mess it currently is.
So, sorry again for no story this week, but I want to bring the best instead of releasing have half-baked crap, thank you all for being so understanding.

Commission prices and information! (Closed)
Posted 8 years ago(Commissions are currently closed and undergoing a bit of a reworking, please check back at a later date.)
Hello everyone, after a bit of time posting here, I am finally offering commissions!
I offer written transformation stories, but I can do other work under certain circumstances. (Contact me if you're interested in a non-TF story commission, we can probably work something out.)
I offer three basic story lengths and a special fourth. All of them include ballpark wordcounts of the length but they can go longer. All prices are negotiable and I may be willing to go over the given limit if I like the idea enough.
5$: 1,500 to 2,500 word TF story:
The ideal size for a quick, but easily done TF story with plenty of description. This is preferable if you want a short but well written story with focus on the TF.
7$: 2,600 to 3,500 word TF story:
If you want to balance description and story with focus on a buildup and post-TF with more description, this is a perfect size, allowing for plenty of detail and story.
10$: 3,600 to 4,500 word TF story:
If you wanna do a longer story or have multiple detailed transformations, this is the best option, with plenty of space for a story and transformation.
4,600 words and longer TF story
Anything over 4,600 words is a special order story and needs to be discussed at length before I start work on it, including length and the overall price. Stories of this length will require an upfront deposit before I begin as well.
I have three levels of maturity, and all stories will fit in one of the three. As a note I work better with mature and adult stories:
PG-13: There is nothing that would be considered adult beyond mild cussing at the most.
Mature: Descriptions are less restrained and more descriptive of what's happening, however, no real sex will take place.
Adult: All restrictions are removed, with sex being described among other things.
If you want my best work, anthro and TG are two effects that my best work can be done with, but they are not required.
While there are several additional effects and fetishes I am willing to do, some are iffy and will require working out during the commission discussion to see if I'm willing to work with them.
Then there are a few things I will not do under any circumstances, they are as follows:
Object TFs (Like clothing, chairs, that sort of thing.)
Age Regression below the age of 18.
Fusion.
Anything mature and above with underage characters.
Scat.
Watersports.
Anything adult with ferals. (Feral on anthro is acceptable in some cases.)
Anything with real life celebrities.
Contacting me is very simple, either comment here or send a note with some basic information about what you want (TF, general plot idea if you have one, commission length, and any side effects/fetishes you want are what I would include in it) and we'll discuss it from there.
However, there are a few rules for commissions as well.
While I write at a decent pace, I have other obligations as well, and for that reason I must ask that you be patient when you commission me. For that same reason I ask for payment when I have finished a commission.
I accept payments solely through Paypal, nothing else.
Commissions are a first come, first serve basis, with a max queue of three. (Does not include art trades/requests.)
When a commission is confirmed and I have begun work, it will be noted on the queue below as being in writing, once a project says it's in editing, that means the writing portion is done and proofreading has begun.
