Signal Boost - Second Chance Visual Novel!
Posted 8 years agoI know I don't get the most attention on here, my last commission sweep was a rip roaring success (Or not so much) way back over a year ago. Still, I figured I'd give the guys working on this VN some assistance and boost them up somewhat. They're a lovely duo who have asked me to come on board and do some translation work from Russian to English (An english version is currently available, but behind in the development cycle as I'm still translating the masses and masses of text and code involved!) and as such I figured I'd push the fact out that this game exists.
Check out their patreon, leave a comment, or pledge a little to assist us in getting this thing off the ground.
I've been involved since early inception and the backgrounds and art work are lovely, the story so far is unravelling rather well and over all it has been a pleasure to work with them so I'd love nothing more than to give them further help!

PWYW Commissions!
Posted 10 years agoI'm having some financial issues while here in the states, and would like to extend a hand out and request some work from you lovely folks.
I'm open to doing PWYW commissions, reasonable of course.
This can be any sort of writing you want, barring your school work of course. I'm currently still working on my personal sci-fantasy 'Protectorate' project, but otherwise am free and easy to work on just about anything over the foreseeable future.
Please feel free to comment below if you're interested and I'll throw you a note to have a chat. This might seem a little bit bothersome or indeed to a degree seem like I'm begging for interest- and you'd be right. Work has been slow, one commission a month at best, and I'd like to increase both my workload and my income by taking on more- for pennies on the dollar. :(
Utterly desperate.

Commission Info Update
Posted 10 years agoFinally got around to updating my FA commission info to show what it is I actually offer. This should make it easier for people when they note or request work from me in future.
I do hope so anyway!
Feel free to note me with any questions as always.

Hard Drive Failure - Taking your charity - AKA commissions.
Posted 10 years agoAsking out of desperation, I don't get much interest on FA and most of my freelance work I do elsewhere since there seems to be a poor market for written material here. First I'll start with a little background.
Basically I was out of the country for three months, August, September and October in the states with my fiance. That's right, I asked and she said yes! Now while I was there I built her a new PC and worked on commissions etc for a little spending cash to pad my wallet.
However since I was there for three months I came back with very little left to help me out until I found steady work. I'm currently working on getting a K1 Visa so that I can travel to the states and marry her and we can permanently stay together. I still don't have a job and anyone with experience on the matter knows that a K1 Visa winds up costing around 1500 GBP including the health check up, Criminal records checks and the processing fees before I can even get to the interview stage at the US consulate in London and be confirmed or denied.
I'm currently in a friends spare room for the duration of my stay here and have no steady income, this means I basically have money for food and essentials but nothing fancy. Last night my HDD failed on my primary PC leaving me with only my laptop to work with. Now I need a replacement HDD and am unable to splurge on such an extravagant item so I'd like to make the offer here as I have in other places for name your price commissions. That means you can pay me a dollar, or ten or even a hundred if it is within your means to write you whatever you want.
I usually have limits on what I'll do in terms of fetish material or what have you but right now I'm willing and eager to take anything on.
If you ARE interested then note me, or add me on skype and message me regarding what you have in mind!
Not holding my breath- which may sound a little defeatist but I'm simply being honest. FA is one of the worst places for an aspiring writer to get work,

Taking written commissions - Name your price!
Posted 11 years agoI am currently taking writing requests both here and via Fiverr to pad my portfolio and put funds in my wallet for an up coming move to the US.
As some of you may know, my financial situation has always been in doubt and at present things haven't changed. If you happen to have a few spare dollars/pounds/euros lying around and wouldn't mind tipping me for writing you a little something then feel free to leave me a message or a note and I'll get back to you.
I'm currently taking commissions at no set cost- name your price!
I am willing to write anywhere from 500-2000 words for a few bucks or a generous tip.
This could be any of the following:
A written description of a character, world, setting, species or universe.
A short story introduction or perhaps ongoing chapters within a short story you have commissioned me to work on previously at 500-2000 words per-chapter or continuation.
A website plug, where I describe the intentions of a webpage or website and the services/information you might find there.
Reviews of products you might sell or wish to sell based on eye witness or viewer testimonials.
Scripts for webcomics or short films/youtube videos.
Story boarding or scripting for your own written projects, to help you overcome that writers block.
I am also adept at writing, editing and adapting CV's or Resumes to better suit a targetted role/position within a workplace or a specific job application.
This list if not exhaustive, if you have anything in mind then feel free to let me know via note or comment within this journal.
(Please note that where I am capable of writing erotica, certain kinks are not something I am willing to delve in to, these are typically kinks I find abhorrent or just plain gross. Though by all means ask me, the worst I can say is no! You'll find no judgement here!)

Feedback!
Posted 12 years agoPlease, if you do happen to check out or watch me (as few of those as there are!) I'd appreciate if you could take a look at my first personal submission.
It may seem a tad confusing, various alien races being mentioned you have no idea about and organizations that sound dubious at best.
However I'd appreciate critique and feedback, it was a confusing passage to write, a lot of flashbacks, dreamy sequences and ghostly apparitions to speak of.
Regardless I'd like to get some constructive critique if at all possible, as it is only an opening passage to an otherwise ongoing story (several ongoing for Kwar and his companions throughout the universe actually!) I figured I'd throw it up here and see what the interest was.
If folks like it and/or would like to see me edit or work on it some more then I'll be working on it as often as I can.
Thanks for reading!

NaNoWriMo!
Posted 12 years agoI've been putting it off, for quite a while now. This year I decided to enter NaNoWriMo and write for the shits and gigs.
For those of you that don't know (or are incapable of using Google) NaNo is a November based competition for writers on a national level to come together and write for thirty days. From the young to the old the objective is to make the 50,000 word goal and hopefully have it accepted as a winner.
There is no monetary gain within it, however it stands for everything I want in writing. Sharing what I have written, and sharing critique of my own works and the works of others to make us better writers!
The creative community aiding the creative community at its finest.
I'll be writing within the rules of the competition of course, though your work is not removed for violating them, merely not entered to 'win' if you do. I've already considered a few potential plots and themes but am likely going to be aiming at sci-fi or sci-fantasy as that is my strongest background to work with.
Wish me luck, it's all in good fun but writing 50,000 words in a month around school and studying and working on a writing project between me, my co-author and my fellow designer Kuro it will prove to be a task!
Best wishes to all.

Being declared homeless
Posted 12 years agoThe basic information is in the subject I suppose.
I don't write journals often as they don't seem to get much attention or feedback.
But I assumed it important to let those of you who favourited my images, or watched me on the basis that you enjoy the artwork that is produced of my character- or the friends I have on here that watch for the sake of watching me.
I've received a letter today declaring my homeless status and I can no longer live in the home I've lived in for the past however many years. I need to find somewhere to live within the next two weeks, a massive downgrade in my living arrangements. Speaking as a british citizen and not as an american or a scandinavian european that is not something that will be easy on a shoestring budget like mine. Despite people claiming we have an amazing benefits and subsidiaries system here in the UK, we dont. I'm a student and am not entitled to loans at my level of education nor' am I entitled to income support or assistance with rent. I'm living day to day and thankfully my mother has prevented me from starving.
This news has hit me doubley hard after finding out yesterday that my grandmother has been hiding cancer from me and the rest of the family so that we didn't 'worry' about her because we have our own issues and troubles. A selfish self sacrifice, if you ask me. Love and family is what you need at times like these, the support of people you have raised and nurtured from birth to where we are now, is it selfish to expect us to love you back, the way you have loved us for the entirety of your adult life?
I won't part with my PC despite what I am being told to do, it is my only lifeline to what I consider a social life, a part of me and my only means of self expression and validation.
I'll be honest, I'm tired of other peoples petty and pathetic problems and announcements. Sometimes genuine issues crop up which I can respect. But spare a moment and think of what other people are going through.
Your boyfriend/girlfriend is being an asshole? At least it's a passing thing and you have someone to love you and share your joys and your pains, there is a reason they are your significant other, your life partner, you see something good in them and they in you. If they're an asshole sometimes and you can't take it? Then get out. You won't be marrying and putting up with them for the rest of your life happily surely?
Your art isn't progressing and you're in an artists block you can't seem to crawl out of? At least you have enough skill and personal flare, style and substance that people respect you as an artist. You have a marketable skill at even your level and people pay for commissions, your efforts and they do so because they love your style. Some of you could pay my monthly bills twice over with the amount you charge and get in abundance, from commissions.
You have an asshole of a roommate you cant stand? Sure, nobody likes an asshole, but so long as there's a roof over your head and you have your own space, you can minimize the level of shit they give you. Roommates are temporary, you can move out in time, they might even do so without you confronting them, people are generally assholes, that much I've grown up knowing.
I understand that this seems like a rant, and that I'm abusing select individuals. Believe me I'm not, there is a reason I watch you, that I respect and love your work, that I didn't unwatch you when I saw those posts or heard that from the horses proverbial mouth. I ask that you give it some time, have a little faith in human nature, be thankful for the ones you have in your life for better or for ill.
I don't know when and if I'll be around at all, for a long time. That won't matter to most of you, who use this site as a glorified Myspace or Facebook. To those of you that it does matter to, then know that I respect you, that I love you or your work, and that you have been a highlight to speak to, to share time with, to browse and gaze in awe at your talents. Keep fighting your corner, stand your ground and evolve your style even if you have to force through the block, keep working hard in classes, in work, in life, don't get yourself into a situation like I have through not approaching and asking for help before it was simply too late.
Plenty of people go through varying difficulties in life, trials and tribulations, struggles and strife. Of those things I am not and have never been a stranger, but I have always stood on my own two feet. I am no charity case and I wont bite back.
I've suffered from depression since I was younger, and have treated it myself. I have struggled with debts left by relatives, but paid them myself. I have witnessed drug addiction and seen first hand the chaos and sadness it can bring, but helped you through it and for that I am proud to say I've even saved a life. One thing I've never felt however, is this cold and this numb, physically I feel like it's below freezing outside and when it's summer, that's definately a new sensation.
I have never felt as low in my entire life, as I do right now.
Take care, may whatever gods you worship watch over you, may you take your strides alone with your shoulders squared and head held high if that is your preference. You are all beautiful, creative, innovative thinkers with hearts worth more than their weights in gold.
A fond farewell,
Kwar
