Hey, everyone! With Hurricane Michael not only sharing my name but also being a historic storm for the Panhandle of Florida, I went ahead and started a GoFundMe for the relief efforts and American Red Cross. All money donated to it will go directly to the Red Cross. I will not keep a single penny of it. At all. If you would like to help, here's the link to it: https://www.gofundme.com/nr6b3-hurr.....michael-relief Please, the people in the path of this storm can use all the help they can get. And this is the only way I know how (and can) to help them. Boost this journal to your watchers if you could, please? These folks need help.

Want more friends in the game? Feel free to add me!

My trainer name is the same as it is here.

Are you into male pregnancy? Do you like seeing a male gravid with a baby or two or five or 20? Have a male character of yours you would like to see gravid with burgeoning life?? Then check out this journal http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/...../#cid:54756291 by  psycho-flames. It's a raffle for exactly that! Your male character being pregnant with life! All you have to do is give psycho-flames a watch and drop a comment with your ref and stating that you're entering the raffle (other details, such as prizes and what not, can be seen in detail in the journal itself). That's it! Nothing more is needed! (Though a signal boost is helpful to get more entries and, in turn, get more folks interested in mpreg over in psycho-flame's direction.

Good luck!

So, I've been debating about creating a Patreon for either my stories or my YouTube channel (leaning more towards my stories than YouTube as I'm more likely to be able to pump out stuff for my stories every month than videos). Hell, I even started to accidentally create a Patreon page. Was just exploring Patreon and, well, ended up hitting "create page: thinking it would just give me info about creating a page rather than going straight into creating one.

Don't worry. I plan on having my finished, full stories available to everyone still. I don't want to hide them behind a "pay wall." Doesn't feel right to me. However, if you would like to assist editing my stories, pointing out where I can improve, voting on what stories I should write next, having your character appear in my large project, etc. THEN you'd have to pay (obviously). Those and stuff like previews as to what I'm working on with my large project are the rewards that I've thought of so far.

So, what do you guys think? Would it be a good idea? Or would you recommend doing something else (please drop a suggestion if so)? Any and all opinions would be uber helpful before I decide to definitively launch my Patreon page. Don't want it to fail due to lack of interest before I even launch it, you know?

Until next time, peace out!

BLARGH!!!! Why is it that I keep coming up with more story ideas than I can even write?! (Let alone be able to finish the ones I'm working on NOW!) Like, seriously. In addition to Together Forever, Bad Medicine, and Betrayal of the Heart, all of which I'm CURRENTLY working on and have yet to finish (though I hope to finish Bad Medicine here sometime soon), I have an entire backlog of OTHER stories (31 to be exact. Thirty one Yeesh....) that I have yet to even BEGIN to work on. Aside from writing down the general idea of what I want to happen in each story. Some (8 to be exact) don't even have a title yet. *sighs*

Good news is, I'll be writing for a good, long while. How often I'll be uploading them to here or my DeviantArt gallery remains to be seen. As soon as I get Bad Medicine ready to be uploaded, I will upload it. (It's a rather simple TF/TG story. Set as a prequel to Betrayal of the Heart, meaning it's in the same universe. Nothing too terribly fancy or too sexual about it. 2 of the 31 backlog stories are also prequels (or spin offs) to Betrayal of the Heart. One is definitely a prequel while the other.....right now, I'm thinking of it as a prequel more than a spin off. I'll officially leave that decision up to y'all.)

Anyway.....Holy shit! 2 journals in one week?! What is this blasphemy?! LOL. JK. Just needed to get a couple things off my chest so close together.

Anyway! I think that's it for this journal. Until next time!

I ended up landing a phone interview (again) for a potential job in my field of study on Tuesday, January 30, 2018. I did everything I could, answering all questions as best I could. Now, just need to play the waiting game as to whether or not I land the position. (Hopefully, I do.)

In the meantime, I will continue to (slowly) work on my stories to post up on here. (I'll also be working on uploading YouTube videos, but y'all likely don't care much about that.) I'm mainly going to be working on them at night as I wind down from the day for bed AND removing blue light (which messes up your internal clock and help you get to sleep) from my nightly routine.

.....And I need to finish uploading Consequences to here yet. XD Started uploading it and college kinda took precedence as the semester went on at the time I was uploading it. I'll probably get around to that......sometime. In the meantime, if you're REALLY interested in finishing the story, check it out over on my DA page! (See my "artist" page under my artist info.....or whatever it is for a link.) I already have the full story uploaded there.

Anyway, just figured I'd post a journal and let y'all know what's going on and whatnot (even if you may or may not care). Until next time!

Going to be taking a break from YouTube until the new year. With the holiday season fast approaching combined with a rather hectic and fairly unpredictable work schedule, doing so will lessen the potential for stress to pop up. Plus, it'll give me time to find/get a new game to record and upload after Destiny 2 is finished (still have the Curse of Osiris expansion to record and upload).

However! Doing so will also allow me to do something that I've been putting off doing since I started putting up YouTube videos: write some stories to post here! I'm currently working on two short stories that I need to finish and that I have been putting of doing because of the YouTube videos. And gaming in general but that's beside the point. SO! Hopefully, by the time I resume putting out new videos to YouTube, I'll have these two stories finished and uploaded here for y'all to read. Hopefully.

Yes, I realize I need to finish uploading Consequences to here. I'll resume doing that sometime soon. I hope. Hopefully, I will when I upload these two new stories.

Anyway, with that being said, until next time!

No, I don't upload videos surrounding art or my stories. (I can't draw to save my life and I don't know how to make a video for my stories.) I'm primarily uploading Let's Play-type videos. What games have I been playing? Well, mainly NASCAR Heat 2 and, recently, I've started uploading Destiny 2 videos.

Hey guys, girls, transgender folk, and non-binaries. Thought I'd give y'all an update of what's going on and what not. Especially after what happened tonight at my main place of employment...

Anyway, about tonight....if my pessimism is correct, I'm likely to be fired from my main place of employment after what went down tonight. I ended up getting conned by a quick-change artist and, well, my till (I'm a cashier at a local grocery store called Grove City County Market) was short $100. Basically what the quick-change artist (quick-change scammer is more appropriate) did was he bought a pack of Trident gum ($1.29). He handed me a $100 bill to pay for it. I went through with it and everything because nothing really gave me any red flags, giving him the $98.71 in change back. While I was counting his initial change out, he wanted a roll of quarters. I replied, "If you need quarters, you'll have to get them at the customer service desk." (It's store policy. I knew that much.) After I gave him his change, he realized he gave me a $100 bill and wanted to give me a $5 bill instead. I complied and opened my drawer to return his $100 bill, accept his $5 bill, and take back the change I just gave him. He then asked for 10 $20 bills. I just looked at him in confusion and said, "If you need change, see the customer service desk." After that, he took off with the $100 bill and the change I initially gave him but left the Trident gum that he bought behind. I was confused and because I knew my till was short, I took the receipt up to the Customer Service desk and told them what happened. That's when I learned that I got conned. Thankfully it was only out of $100 as it could have been much worse, but this is the second time my till is off from what it should be (the first time, I had $20 more than I should have most likely because two bills were stuck together and I didn't notice it and accepted both but didn't count both. Or something). It's also the third time I'll be written up as a whole (the first time was for accepting a beginner's check when we don't accept such checks). Of course, knowing all of this, my negativity and pessimism decide to rear their ugly heads (when I'm trying to change to being positive and optimistic) and I immediately begin thinking I'll be fired. However, I'm kinda hoping that a) it being only the second time being written up for my till being off from what it should be and b) that I told them immediately after it happened instead of letting it slide will allow me some leniency and prevent me from being fired. (Plus, being a good employee, not calling off frequently, accepting call-ins if need be, etc.) I don't have a job in my collegiate field of study lined up just yet. I've been applying but have yet to land anything. So, until I do, this is my only job. If I get fired, it'll basically be next to impossible to get a job not just in my collegiate field of study but around here too.

But anyway, that's what happened tonight. I needed to primarily write this journal to try and stop my negativity and pessimism from literally killing myself. (Not a joke either. I contemplated killing myself if I did get fired on the drive home.)

As for my stories and what not else, my job has pretty much taken up the majority of my free time that I would have had otherwise. It also doesn't help that when I get off work and my days off that I feel like doing absolutely nothing else and just browse the internet until I go to bed. I really need to fix that somehow so I can work on my stories more that way y'all can read them.

With all of that off my chest now, let's hope I don't get the bad news I'm fearing I'll be getting tomorrow.

Until next time!

Not exactly related, but figured I'd post this here.

I uploaded a new YouTube video today. Here's the link if y'all want to check it out: https://youtu.be/omQ_3xwdpto

It's not the greatest, but I'm learning. Will have more up soon. I hope. Depending on exactly how crazy things get this week with finals and commencement. (Will be stockpiling a bunch of videos so I have something to post if I can't record and post on the same day.)

Ok, so I finally figured out how to record gameplay videos of me playing the games I have on Steam on my computer. Woo! New content for my YouTube channel! (And, also, possible streaming capabilities as well. If I do stream, it won't be of art or my writing. Instead, it'll be me playing a game or whatever.)

Also, I completely forgot to post an update to Consequences last Friday, so I'm going to post two updates tomorrow instead of just one in order to make up for my lack in updating. That's totally my bad. College is rough, man. (And because of college and real life, YouTube will only be a side project that's something fun for me to do.)

Anyway, I think that's all I wanted to update y'all on.

Until next time!

So, I (FINALLY) just watched Zootopia. It was good like everyone else has said. However, there is just one beef I have with it. There are no reptiles, avians/birds, insects, etc. It's ALL MAMMALS. Now, I don't have a problem with mammals but...it's not the best representation of the entire animal kingdom as a whole (not to mention the furry fandom, but let's be honest. It's most likely a better representation of the furry fandom than the actual animal kingdom anyway due to there being more mammals than anything else. Or so I've noticed).

I would like to see this touched on in Zootopia 2, if there is one (which is likely given Zootopia's success). OR I could just...write a fanfic that touches on this little...exclusion. There's only one problem: I don't have a plot idea just yet in order to even write said fanfic.

SO, until I come up with a plot idea, this fanfic will not happen. (Unfortunate, I know.)

(By the way, if anyone of you are wondering, I actually kinda liked Nick Wilde in the movie.)

Apparently FA was attacked by a hacker. Woo.... Thankfully, I didn't lose any submissions as I had uploaded everything prior to the attack (and they had been backed up with FA). However, I do believe I've lost a couple to a few favorites of mine. Sadly, I do not remember what those favorites were so....sorry to those artists whose pieces I faved before the outage. It's not my fault. As for comments, which were also deleted, I don't think I lost any. Which is a good thing.

I am also on DeviantArt (same username as here) where I have all the same submissions as here. Plus a few other submissions that don't exactly...fit here. ALSO, if you would like to follow me in other places (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.) check my contact information for links to my profiles there. (I don't post much content on YouTube and I don't tweet very much--it's mainly retweets of Twitter users I follow that I like and I want to share with my small follower group. However, once I start posting more content on YouTube I will be using Twitter more often so....yeah.)

Well, I think that's it for now. I might be posting another journal later on. What about? Well, I'm gonna leave that for when I post it. ;)

Kvaloth out!

Do you have a story idea that you want to write but just can't put that idea down on paper for one reason or another? Do you just want to see what someone else does with a story you have? If either of these apply to you, read on to find out how you can make your story idea a possibility!

So, I've finally decided to officially open myself to story commissions. With finding a part-time, temporary job in my area extremely difficult for one reason or another, I have to resort to other ways of making some sort of money. Since I suck at drawing, I am relegated to story commissions ONLY. Because of that, in order to make my commissions fairly affordable, I will be charging $0.01 (one US penny) PER WORD, which does not include the amount of words in the title (in a sense, the title is free) with a maximum word count of 10,000 words (most short stories have this as a limit and it's also DA's text file limit). For example: If your story commission has a final word count of 1,000 words long, you'll just be paying $10 US, but if your story commission has a final word count of 10,000 words, which is rather rare anyway--for when I write short stories anyway--but it depends on the story plot and how detailed I decide to get, the cost will be $100 US. Any word count in between those word counts would fall between those price ranges. Anything less than 1,000 words will be less than $10 US. Due to the fact that the price depends on the final word count, I cannot provide an accurate quote for you prior to writing your story. Also, I cannot accept payment until after your story is finished. However, if you have a specific budget--say, $20 US for example--mention that in your note--read on for the information I will require in the note alongside your budget--and I will calculate how many words that is and attempt to stay within that word count. If it's a little under, I'm certain you'll be happy with that. If it's over that amount--I'm talking by, like, $10 US or more--you may not be too terribly happy.

Information:
Payment type: Paypal ONLY.

Please send me a note with these details included:
General plot synopsis
Character name(s) and descriptions(s) as well as age
will allow me to complete your story faster without needing to try and create character(s) needed and I will have a much better idea as to the character(s)' personality prior to writing the story so I can accurately portray said personality in his/her speech, actions, etc. as well as how he/she interact with his/her surroundings
If I have any further questions in order to make certain I get everything that you want in your story, I will reply to your sent note and any further notes after
Please include "commission" somewhere in the note title so that I know it is important
The kind of style and point of view you want it written
Point of view = first person, second person (very rare and difficult to write), and third person

Things I will write about:
NSFW and SFW
Transformations (from any species to any species and of any kind--to anthro, to feral animal, to someone's penis, etc.)
Vore (soft and hard, any type--regular vore (mouth), anal, cock vore, unbirthing, etc.)
Pregnancies (mpreg, fpreg, herm pregnancies, rapid, extended, etc.)
Pretty much anything you want to have a story written about EXCEPT...

Things I will NOT write about:
Pedophilia (any character under the age of 18 participating in sexual activities)
Gore (unless it's rather minor like blood spurting from a stab/gun shot wound. Anything more is a no-go)
Scat and/or watersports (pretty self-explanatory)

If your story contains bestiality or some form of it, please include it in the informational note. I will probably accept it; however, if there are minors(character(s) under the age of 18) participating in the bestiality, I will possibly ask (in a reply note) if it would be okay to change the character(s) age to at or above 18. If you do not agree to it, which you have the right to do, I will reject it.

I will try my hardest to finish and post your commission ASAP, but expect it to take about 1-4 weeks depending on how crazy busy I get with school and what not. Once it is finished, I will send you a note with the final word count (title not included in it) along with the cost I have calculated. This will be your official quote. I will also include a link to either a Google docs document, the pdf, or the txt file, whichever you prefer, so you can see it prior to paying. You will then be able to either suggest changes (reject it as it is) or accept the way it is. Once you accept it, however long it may take to get it to say what you want, I will give you my Paypal information so you can send the final payment. I don't want to assume that you'll like it at first, hence why this entire process. I want to make absolutely, positively, 100% sure that you like it and are happy with it prior to paying. I don't want you to possibly pay a lot of money for something that you do not like. When I post the final product, I will credit you for the idea while, obviously, the writing itself is mine.

If you do not want to pay for a story or the final cost is too much for you to pay, I also do requests and art trades. If you would prefer to do it this way, we will discuss it via notes.

If you want examples of other works of mine that are less than 10,000 words, please visit the "Short Stories" folder in my gallery (link: http://kvaloth.deviantart.com/galle...../Short-Stories).

If you would rather have a poem than a story...it may or may not take me longer than 4 weeks to write said poem as I am not nearly as good of a poet as I am a story writer. because of this increase in time needed, I will charge $1 US per stanza (or line if it doesn't have stanzas) with a max of 100 stanzas (or lines). For examples of some of my better poems that I have written, please visit the "Poems" folder in my gallery (link: http://kvaloth.deviantart.com/galle.....47613315/Poems).

If you have any questions or you just want to clarify something in here, leave a comment. If you want to go ahead and commission me or ask for a request, send me a note with the details provided above.

Thank you!

P.S. I will be using Microsoft Word's word counter to determine the final word count and thus the cost. Seeing as it will include the words of the title, I will subtract that amount before calculating the cost.
