advent calendar series : Timeless Island
Posted 7 years agoHi everyone,
Haven't been posting much, mostly because my job takes a lot of my time (and energy) but also because the coming series... how to say, I've been thinking about it since my first series encountered some success. So you can guess that I'm overly anxious at the idea of releasing it, what if I missed a detail important for the next, have I done it right, writers will recognize the feeling. BUT!
The thing is, I hate working for nothing, and there comes a time when I need to kick my own butt and release it. Plus I always loved the pre-Christmas period more than Christmas in itself, the ambiance in the air, the decorations, the cheerful moods, ect... So, I had this little idea of an advent calendar type upload, one chapter a day. It sounds fun^^ This first book will be 34 chapters long, so it will at least go until the beggining of January. Before I actually begin (tomorrow), I want to clarify some points about this.
-It will not be fetish based. Sorry for those who enjoy my stories for the NSFW and vorish parts, but I prefer not to let everyone hope after something that will not likely be found there.
-I said it will be 34 chapters, but so far I only finished 31. And among the last ones I produced, some will probably need some drastic changes before upload. I'll try to keep the rhythm, but be aware that so far, only half of the book is actually ready for release at the hour I write these lines. If I can't finish on time for whatever reason, I may announce a pause around Christmas to give me the time I need.
-The story is meant to keep some mysteries, some will be solved a few chapters later, or in another book. Others will be obscure references, or left unanwsered, free to interpretation. I love nothing more in writing than making people think or theorize^^ So even if I'll answer some questions, I'll ask for understanding when I refuse to talk about a plot element. Simply because I don't want to ruin my own effects. If you're not the patient kind, maybe you'd prefer waiting until everything is uploaded because you won't have the answers straight away :) Also, if I don't reply a comment, this means you could be right or close... or totally at the opposite and speaking about it will give you the answer xD So you'd be wise to not base your theories through my reactions ;)
-Some characters will have points of view and speech that may sound offensive or will be plain politically incorrect. IN NO WAY IT REFLECTS MY MIND, EVER. The words exchanged between characters, their thoughts and assumptions, are to be understood in the context of the story or the personality of the character. If you feel offended anyway? Feel mad at the character, not the writer. Because the character has probably been made this way to either look antipathic, to evolve, or whatever reason.
I feel stupid for justifying the words and actions of fictional characters, but I'm very aware this can be a sensitive subject nowadays. And I prefer to warn, I won't take it kindly if I feel aggressed with accusations while it's meant to be within an imaginary universe. I expect basic intelligence on the matter for those who will read my chapters. If you're the kind to get easily triggered, I'll advise not to read because the world described in this story is made to be unnacceptable.
-The full series will be free. I never made anyone pay to read my writing, and I'm not going to start now. The thing is, if this series encounters success, I might try to get it published. So money will be a bonus IF I did this story right in the end, and in no way money will be the focus of it, I did it by passion. I feel like nowadays, there are less and less free contents, so it is my contribution. How will I prevent stealing you may ask. Well it's simple. None other than me knows the track and the end of it, it's a form of guarantee in itself^^ My twisted mind has some plot tricks in its metaphorical sleeves xD
Well, I think that covers all :) Be patient the first days, the first 3 chapters are mainly there to introduce some situation. I'll reply to some questions, not all of them. But all in all, I hope you'll appreciate the story :)
And welcome in the timeless island.

Japan Expo 2016
Posted 9 years agoLike the title says, I'll be in Paris for the next 4 days^^ Can't wait, there are always nice cosplayers, and I often see a furry or two.
Japan Expo, here I come :3
Japan Expo, here I come :3
little explanations
Posted 9 years agoBecause I know many of the people who sometimes talk to me feel like I'm ignoring them, and it's killing me to think I hurt other by my silence. Well, this, and the rest....
As some of you know, in September 2014 I joined the hospital of my city for a job that seemed like THE job made for me. The beginnings were chaotics, but after 6 months, I had become great at it. I was deciding how and where to place the patients in surgery, and I grew even more skilled as time passed. I've even become able to predict how many patients would be there one week before the date, within a range of more or less 10 persons on 144 beds. I was proud, I had my own personal office (which was good to relax a bit, since social interactions exhaust me), I was respected by the nurses and even the surgeons, and I had total freedom on the way I worked as long as I had results. In brief, the dream job for me.... until lately.
Because lately, they decided, without even listening to my opinion, to extend the activity to the whole hospital. I've "gained'" three colleagues so we would share the tasks between medicine and surgery. It was a good idea, but their decisions on the way to do it broke it all to me.
First, we have to switch roles, because we're supposed to be able to replace one another when someone is on vacation. Fair enough.... but how are they expecting us to do so? They decide that one day we are working on medicine, another on surgery. Just to be clear, I don't have any medical training, so when I'm on medicine, I'm basically placing patients without even knowing what kind of disease they have, or what informations I need to transmit, and I feel like I'm playing randomly with people's lives... Awfully stressful to me...
Second, I had to give up my own, ideally placed office to relocate in a common office, which means no rest during day for me (stressful too for me, I feel scared to have to socialize closely with coworkers, who are nurses to begin with, and so who know better on medicine than I do).
Third, they are rushing us. Which means mistakes. Lots and lots of mistakes. And a hospital is mostly feminine place, so imagine how nurses, who are women ans so mostly emotion-driven persons, react in front of many mistakes? That's right, anger... I don't even count anymore how many persons yell at me in a single day, and my natural reaction to angry people is to feel guilty for not being able to reach their expectations.
I know that from outside, it just seems like common bad management, and regular work issues. But being victim of my superiors' bad decision is killing me a bit more everyday... In a bit less than a month, I've grown disgusted by my work... I was building a solid structure, a better workplace for everyone, and now they are destroying everything I worked for during the past year... They are ruinning my work. And my work was everything for me.
Worse, I've begun to isolate myself, because this is my natural reaction when I feel bad. I don't like to share my burden, so I usually prefer silence. I know that right now, what I'm writing might been seen as basic complaining, but I don't expect support, and I certainely don't ask for it because I know that no one but myself can overcome the situation. I'm just explaining why I do not interact with anyone anymore, even close friends, so you know I don't do this to hurt anyone.
I know I'll eventually overcome it, but it's just that right now, I feel down, lonely and terribly scared. For those who worry easily, be assured I won't do anything stupid. So don't panick. As long as I know you don't take it personnally, it will already help me, and that's all I'm asking for. Soon enough, I'll be back, probably brighter and happier that I am now, so please just be patient with me. My silence won't be eternal.
I think of you all, and I keep courage in these dark days because I want to be strong. For the patients. For the nurses and doctors I help everyday, even if it's not appreciated. And for you, whom are probably still a bit worried about all this.
And now, back to work...

a 15 month battle ended today
Posted 9 years ago... And I F***ING WON IT!
mouahaha, after a year and 3 months of relentless efforts and 4 temporary contracts, I finally got my permanent contract at the hospital! Only fair, since I struggled so much to get it.
Proof that sometimes, all you have to do is to be confident enough to put your balls on the table, but smart enough to not put them on their nose.
I explained calmly to them that surgery couldn't handle it without my services, I played following their rules, I was perfect in my job, all I missed were the right words to make them understand that. And I signed my contract today. This might be the best Christmas present I ever made to myself, and I'm so freaking proud of it!
I won! I WON! I WOOOOOON! *ROAR*

some silly life events
Posted 10 years agoyesterday morning, I had to go to some groceries. What can I say, dragons need to eat^^
But due to the recent events in France, shops have become careful. At the entrance, the security guard asked to check my bag.
troll mode ON
"Why? is that because of the beard?"
guard seems confused, it's really effective!
"No sir, it's regular check, you might hide weapons"
time for the fatality:
"But... I practice martial arts... I'm legally considered as a weapon"
okay, that's when he got it^^ Big laugh, then I let him check my bag... which was empty! Still was a good sunday morning fun
And before I get trolled for this: Yes, I love dark humor. And no, I'm not insensitive to what happened to my fellow french people in Paris.

I'm a bit surprised
Posted 10 years agoI wanted to make a journal as a general response to the comments on my last upload, because I feel like everyone thinks it was the last chapter...
IT WASN'T THE LAST CHAPTER OF THE SEASON!!!!!!
Come on, you know me better^^ I like to leave some mysteries, and I understand why you think it might have been a similar end as the other series, but I have bigger plans in mind.
Just you wait, I'm not so predictable

thinking about patreon
Posted 10 years agoWell, I know what it looks like. Myself, I often thought that I would always write/do art for fun, but the thing is... I still need to live X3
In fact, lately, I've experienced real troubles with my motivation. I still want to write, I wish to keep my stories going on until the end. And believe me, I have plenty of ideas for that. But every time I get to my word page, I'm like "it's not what is going to help you with your life" and I start thinking about my real life struggles which already take me a lot of time.
The thing is, if my work could bring me something in return, I think I'd be more motivated to do it. Having good comments, favs, or even knowing that my stories make people dream, are rewarding. But it often represents hours of work for a short moment of happiness. If some of my fans were feeling like encouraging my work, I think I should at least try. Like, giving a little each time I release a new chapter or so, I don't know yet. As I said, I just started thinking about it^^
I'd like your point of view on it. I mostly think about this stuff to find solutions to the money problem I had lately, and to find a new flame in my work.

be the master
Posted 10 years agoWatch the master, copy the master, walk with the master, be the master. The natural evolution in martial art. Meaning there's one day you get to teach to the new generation. I consider I'm still far from that but tonight, I led the training in the absence of my sensei.
I'm in my 6th year of practicing ninjutsu, and I'm the highest rank among those who were present tonight. So I've been asked to do the training. Oh, it was mostly about the basics, but apparently, they loved it. As little as it is, I feel it like a big acheivement.
When I began all these years ago, I was fat, I could barely do three push up. I was shy, never talking, no self confidence. Tonight made me realize how far I've come, and how my weaknesses made me stronger. My shyness was mostly due to a high sense of empathy, overthinking the way others feel. Beleive me, it raises a lot of social anxieties, but once you get to control it, it can become a treasure. Because I'm aware of how people feel, I could reach them better. I can feel their frustrations, their own lack of confidence, and I manage to give them a taste of what they could also accomplish.
It's with big pleasure that I share my experiences, tell them how I've faced the same difficult they face, show them how I can do up to 50 push ups in a row, show how I can defeat a guy without even caring, and with a big smile. The art of teaching serious matter, without looking serious. Simply being happy to share it. that's for me the essence of the art in martial art.
I'm deeply against violence. In a fight, I will always prefer to run away if the ony thing I have to lose is my honor. I love martial art for the philosophy behind it, for the beauty of the movements, for the deep understanding of the biomechanics of a human body. Their faces when they watch me doing things that seem so natural to me is heartwarming. It reminds me how I used to think the masters were some sort of living superheroes. And the thought that they might feel the same makes me laugh, because I stil know I'm just a regular man. A regular man that failed more times than they even tried, a regular man who never stopped trying, and who progressively become what he is because he kept pushing foreward. I'm not better than anyone, I just worked hard, and what I am is just the result.
Maybe one day, I'll be a sensei too. And today, this idea doesn't scare me anymore. Because I know I'll be able to handle it.

about recent events and an announcement
Posted 10 years agookay, I just wanted to clarify because I don't really like these kinds of debates.
writing such horrible scenes were a pain for me. At first I really wanted to make it, lika Avezola said, a 'deus ex machina'. Because I absolutely despise unjustified violence, and rape... I won't even talk about it, it's one of the worst things that ever existed to me...
However, though i like the 'rainbow and happiness' style, I sometimes want to try new things, or even challenge myself. Like every form of art, writing must be pushed, explored, to see how well I can do and improve. For this, I thank Avezola because I would have never tried it. Now I know how horrible it is to do it, but at least I tried something different^^ (Georges R. Matin must be either a sadistic man or a masochist to write about the events in game of thrones XD)
I'm not writing this reply to point someone and order to respect my work, but it's always a bit hard for a writer to get any kind of negative feedback when he put so much effort in something he didn't like writing.
hopefully, there the rest of the story will suit your tastes better. But if you feel like it's a pain to read this, I'm not holding you back. I want my reader to feel things while they read, either it's happiness, or sadness, or anything else. But I don't force anyone to read if they don't like it. I produce pieces to entertain people, not torturing them XD
On a totally different matter, I'll be off to vacations in Japan for the next two weeks. Lots of things to prepare, lot of stress, so please be understanding if I haven't replied to you lately. I'm always a bit pissed off when people come to me with anxious messages like it's the end of the world if I'm silent for a few days. I have a busy life, between work (in which I do completely new experience on a subject that is experimental in France and in which I'm absolutely dedicated^^ I like the idea of being a pioneer in this field), friends (who are quite often at my place, especially week ends. I can't be expected to work on my vorish hobbies or talk to anyone else with them around, I leave everything aside when I have guests), and other obligation a single young guy has to take care of to simply be able to live without constant worries.
I wish you all good times, and I'll see you all in two weeks =3
Yours truly,
Learner

little tale of a personal success
Posted 10 years agoYesterday has been a hard day at the hospital. from 9 to 17, almost non-stop, my phone rang every ten minutes because there were so many patients waiting for a bed in our surgery services.... But it got a little reward in the end.
A few weeks ago, I spoted a name on the list of people who were getting surgery, a famiiar name. It was my best friend from high school^^ I hadn't seen him in years, and I felt mixed about this. Back then, he was a guy I admired. He would always be loved by everyone he met, and succeed in almost everything he did, especially games, in which he wa a good strategist. In short, when I was young, he was an example to me. And I was always behind him in everything.
Yesterday, I decided to go and make it a surprise to him. He didn't know I worked in this hospital as the responsible of the patient flow. What's more, though he got surgery for his nose, he was hospitalized in gynecology services(sometime we put patients there when there's no bed in the regular services. So I seized the occasion to go and make a little fun of him^^
I went to his room, saying "So this one gets artificial vagina, let's see if he's ready". His face was priceless XD But then, of course, he was surprised to see me here, and asked me how I knew he was there.
"Hey, I'm the responsible here. No one gets surgery without me knowing." I replied.
We dicussed a bit, not for too long because he was coming back from his nose surgery and he was a bit tired. But it made me feel proud of me. When I was young, I would always try to beat him, or at least be a good as him, and I would think this was simply impossible. But there I was, appearing as the guy I had become. I had given up on following him, but I had found my own way, and in ome ways, I have become someone respected.
It's a strange feeling to look back on what you've done so far, and to realize you've done better than you'd have expected when you were younger. Like, from a shy guy who never dared to do anything, I've found this job by myself, and adapted quite well to it. I also learnt many things, how to draw, how to socialize, all this represents a big acheivement to me. It motivates me even more to do my best everyday. And it's a message I'd like to share.
Don't aim at being others. Find your own way, where you're good at, what you like, and keep doing your best. Someday you might eventually find that you got over the stars you were aiming at^^
A few weeks ago, I spoted a name on the list of people who were getting surgery, a famiiar name. It was my best friend from high school^^ I hadn't seen him in years, and I felt mixed about this. Back then, he was a guy I admired. He would always be loved by everyone he met, and succeed in almost everything he did, especially games, in which he wa a good strategist. In short, when I was young, he was an example to me. And I was always behind him in everything.
Yesterday, I decided to go and make it a surprise to him. He didn't know I worked in this hospital as the responsible of the patient flow. What's more, though he got surgery for his nose, he was hospitalized in gynecology services(sometime we put patients there when there's no bed in the regular services.

hard times
Posted 10 years agoHello everyone =)
Lately, I've been really busy. But I realize that, as far too many people say it, it's normal fans do not understand how time consuming my activities can be so I thought I'd give a little explanation of what I'm going through.
First, work. I used to love it, but know I fear to go to it every morning. My job consists in attributing beds to patients in my city's hospital. Fun, right? I thought so... but actually, this is a job in which I have to take a lot of decisions... and often, bad ones. I'm the link between all the surgery sectors, and of course, people only see what I apply to their area. So to most people at my workplace, I represent a nuisance, a guy that comes to give them more work while I try to find the best solutions for everyone including the patient.
I totally understand the nurses' frustration. They got a lot of hard work, sometimes even humiliating because some patients are deep shit. But I have the feeling I'm disliked only because of what I must do, and that's hard. On the good side, I never get angry or reply badly. I'm like this, I'm simply unable to rage against someone else because I understand their pain. However, feeling all this agressivity from everywhere while I just try to help, well... it's taking me down. I work a lot to compensate, and ease my conscience, but I really hope the activity intensity lowers soon.
Basically, what I do is keeping a neutral face as a mask, and cry when no one is around. It doesn't help that I'm a shy person who fears people. Actually, this is one reason why I got myself into this job: to force myself to go to people, in hope to make myself more social. But I'm awkward and I get a lot of reproaches on how I talk and act. I feel like only my little mistakes are visible while my achievements go unseen.
To stay strong, I started a file where I put every little personal victory. Like two days ago, I got called for an old lady who was about to die from her disease, and got asked to find her a single bed room to allow her to end in dignity. I worked my ass off to find her this, because we had absolutely nothing available. But I found it. The next morning, I read my mail and saw that she had passed away during night, and her will was to give her body to the university of Grenoble (another city with big hospital) and to give some eye parts (don't know the english term). I dropped a tear, because I felt sad, and proud to have worked so hard for someone who deserved it. I printed the mail, and then put it in my file, which I called "remember why you fight".
In addition to work, or probably because of it, I deal with a lot of depression episodes. Because people are agressive, but at least, they have people around them when they come back home. But I'm alone. Of course, I have friends I can talk to, and they are of good moral help, but it's simply not the same as if I had someone with me to comfort me IRL.
All I can do is keeping heading forward, working hard, clench teeth, cry when there's no one to be bothered about it, and repeat. Success is getting up one more time than you've been knocked down, and I apply it everyday. I just wished that people could see how much I try to do for them while they are being so hostile. But that's it, I'm kind and struggle to communicate. And I piss off people because they probably see me as a victim. At least, as long as I do good, I still have good conscience and that's a reward in itself.
On a more positive note, ninjutsu helps me to raise the chin. Trainings make me realize I have somehow unique knowledge I can share with my students, and there I'm liked for my hard work and kindness. This is a place where real warriors are appreciated, and it gives me the strength to keep pushing forward.
I'm sorry for the long post, I'm usually not the kind to complain or even talk about myself, but it had to get out. If you had the courage to read it all, then thank you because it's already a little help for me^^
I hope I'll be able to calm down and get back soon to creative activity rather than work all the time.

personal evolution
Posted 10 years agoOn friday night, I had my last ninjutsu training of the year. Like each year, it was a funny training, and my sensei even came dressed as santa. I can tell that being beaten the shit out of you by santa is kind of special XD
After the training, like each year, we had drinks and snacks, our way to close the year. But during this one, my sensei came to me discretely and asked
"which rank are you already?"
"I'm 3rd kyu" I replied without thinking.
"no, you're not. From now on, you're shodan"
So here it is, I'm black belt now =3

a call for prey
Posted 11 years agoHello everyone,
This basically is an idea I had a few day ago, some sort of free YCH for halloween. But let me explain the conditions first.
I'm preparing a little funny comic in 8 panels, and two of them require some prey. The 6th for a scene of regurgitation by a dragon (well, basically me), so implied endo all along and close view of the maw. This would require about 4 prey. The 7th hasn't restrictions about the number of prey required, they will be on a pile, in dizziness. I precise there is no gore/HV/digestion involved of any sort. so don't even ask^^ I'm not so fan of humans/too humanish characters, but I may accept one or two maximum. The rest wil have to be furry/feral/whatever is not human. And lat but not least, there will be a little restriction on the size of your character. My dragon can size shift, but to be accurate with the environment, I'll be restricted on the size of my belly. The bigger you are, the les room there will be for other nommies.
I will put the WIP into my scraps so interested volunteers can have a better idea.
This being said, I precise a few points, listed below:
-this is a halloween comic, but there is no insurrance I will finish it on time and if I get to late, I might simply end up keeping it aside until next year. I have a busy and unpredictable life, and I can't tell if I'll be able to find the time required this coming week. That's the first reason why it's a FREE YCH, because I don't want to feel forced to work on it when I don't feel like.
-I'm still a beginner at drawing, and I'm BAAAAAAAD at details. I sometimes happen to fail at drawing others'characters, and I don't want harsh complaints about it (even if I let you free to point the missed details in the comments when I upload it, so I can know what I failed to get better the next time). So if you're about to volunteer, know that there are risks of your character to not be like you'd like.
-As said in the previous point, I'm not an accomplished artist. So, while I make it, I'd like to be able to reach you by PMs at least so we can discuss the WIP. This is not a must be, but if you don't often look at your inbox, know that I'll probably be a bit less tolerant about criticism.
-It's free, so I'm free. That's the point. I expect volunteers, but I'll choose who will fit the most in the situation so don't be disapointed if you're not chosen. I want this to be in good fun, so I don't wanna upset people or whatever =3
I think that's all, at least all I can think of right now. Feel free to PM if you have questions on the conditions/characters involved/other. I'll also make this journal on eka so I can have other suggetions of characters I could use. This offer will baically end when I'm done with the lineart of other panels.
have a great day little treats =3

had a lot of emotions lately
Posted 11 years agoand fortunately, it all ended well. But let me resume the situation.
This week, I'm starting a new job at the hospital of my city. Totally new environment, a lot of people to meet, pretty intimidatjing for me but I do well.
To this daily stress came an event that put me down: two days ago, my pet corn snake escaped from his terrarium, that was yet closed. I don't know how, probably by the cable holes at the top (and yet, they looked too small for him) It totaljly destroyed me, I didn't know where was my snake and couldn't focus on anything else, I wanted to know what had happened and where he had gone. I had put traps to catch him (floor on the ground to see if he was around, a heating lamp turned to a pile of clothe to lure him, and even some of his food in hope he would be hungry). But still no track of where he had gone.
Then, yesterday evening, with an amazing luck, I met a neighboor I had barely seen since I moved on here. And she told me there was a snake problem, they had seen one on the first floor and had called the firefighter to catch it. I immediately understood, and feared the worst. I called the HQ of my city in a blink, totally shaking (I didn't know if they had kept him alive and was really worried) They described it to me, and of course, it was him. All I had to do was showing them the bill of the purchase (special animals are really restricted and apparently, some dishonest people come and pretend snakes are theirs when they hear about firefighter interventions) and I dashed to their HQ.
I was half crying when I showed up (yeah, so much for a tough guy^^ but I was worried to death) They checked my documents and led me to the room where they keep reptiles (the ones they capture and those on which they train) and there he was, calm in a little terrarium.
Needless to say, I was releived to a point I've never been before. But I don't want to let the incident end like this.
I'm preparing a poster I'll display in my building for the neighboors to see. I consider it's my fault because I didn't warn them I had this pet, probably because I was scared they would see me as the weird guy of the first floor.
So I'll tell them that I'm sincerely sorry for the disturbance and the fright. Most people are scared of snake and don't know them. Since some of my neighboors have kids, I totally understand their reaction. Plus, they feared there could be others nearby.
So I'll explain to them my pet is totally harmless and actually pretty nice (doesn't bite, isn't venomous...) and finally will thank them for not doing him any harm. Seriously, that was my biggest fright, imagining someone would find him and kill him in a fear rush.
So now I have my pet back, I'm going to tell my neighboors about it and reassure them that I'm reinforcing my precautions about it. I really hope I'll never ljive these kinds of moment again.

personal news
Posted 11 years agoI haven't done any journal in a while, so I thought I'd make one, so people can understand why I'm awfully slow to release new work these days^^
First, some might know it, I moved into my first real own appartment by the begining of july. So far, all I had ever had were student appartments, this time this was the big leap of faith into independence^^ I'm still having troubles scheduling cooking to keep a balanced diet, and I really have to force myself to not let my own mess overwhelm me. But globally, I'm proud of how well I handle what I consider as the start of my adult life =3
Also, I got hired for a new job, which I'll start on the 29th of september=3 I'll earn like 300 more euros per month, get responsibilites (I'll manage the bedroom organization of the hospital in my city to make sure everyone gets a bed after surgery), and what's more, it's only five minutes by foot away from where I live ^^ That's a great personal evolution, but also a big movement in my life, which explain my recent lack of productivity.
Martial art started over last night, and gooooood it's good to move my ass a bit! Only thing I'm half excited and half worried about is that my sensei took me apart at the begining of the training, and told me "I got a big program for you, I want to make you shodan by the end of the year". Which basically means he wants to make me have the three last ranks I need to get my black belt by the end of june 2015. That's gonna be a hell of hardwork, and I'll do what I can to go to two trainings per week so I can evolve this quickly. But on a positive note, I'm proud I'm not as rusty as some of my comrades after the two months break ^^
Another point, since I now live under my own roof, I finally got the pet I wanted =3 I adopted a little corn snake 6 weeks ago, and I absolutely don't regret it. This morning, I even had the joy to find a first slough =3 I'm so proud of him^^
About my writing, the second chapter of my current series is done, I'm just waiting for my partner to provide me a little icon to releae it. It will make it nicer =3
That's all for now, but it's already a lot of things^^ take care all

Kalnera last chapters and schedule
Posted 11 years agoHellooooo everyone =)
It took me a while to write them and get them corrected, but here they are, the 4 last chapters of kalnera are almost ready to be uploaded =) I don't want to post them all at once, so I'll probably upload one every week so people can take their time to read it. 9th chapters should be uploaded later today=)
Also, the next days/week are about to be busy for me. Ninjutsu seminar this week end, moving out to my new appartment sunday, and the first week of July, I'll be in Paris for the japan expo that takes place every year. I'm not sure how long it will take to get internet correction in my new place, so don't get worried if I'm a bit silent for a while^^
That's all for the update, enjoy your coming reading and have a good day =)

No RP anymore
Posted 11 years agoFirst, I'd want to say I don't expect or want any comment about this decision. This is just information.
Due to personal reasons, I won't do any RP anymore of any kind.
I'm sorry if it sounds a little harsh or sudden, but I simply don't want to argue on that (some have already tried^^)
take care everyone=)

Been overdoing it...
Posted 11 years ago...like always^^ I can't help, when I like something I keep doing it again and again until I'm sick of it. That's what I've been doing lately with writing. I've done nothing but that in my free time, and it's become like a personal duty rather than a pleasure.
Consequently, I think I'll take a short break after my next chapter of kalnera so I can rest and recover my passion of writing :)

amaria the final chapter...
Posted 11 years ago...is coming out tomorrow^^ just a few details to modificate, then I can upload it. This will be huge chapter (around 10560 words/21 pages) to close my longest series so far=)
amaria 17th dragon or human POV?
Posted 12 years agoI was starting to write the next amaria chapter, when it stroke me... I began to do it from her human's POV, but I know some people love when I write it through her eyes...
So the question is, would you prefer a dragon or human POV for this one? I guess this will be my first sort of poll^^
I think I'll end the vote in about 48 hours from now; I put aside the two pages I've written so far, and will wait for fans' opinion=)

50 watchers =)
Posted 12 years agoWell, let's say it's my first milestone^^ It's not that much, but it already means a lot to me=)
Whoever you are, friend, active fan or just discrete reader, thank you all for your support. Without you I wouldn't be so motivated to produce more^^

that's not a theory anymore
Posted 12 years agoSome times ago, I said that I might slow down with stories; well I confirm that...
My sensei insisted to have me for two trainings per week, and on tuesday, the dojo is one-hour away by car... I'm not that enthusiastic, since trainings are quite intense (and two hours long) in addition with my work which is really exhausting... But if he needs my, I'll answer to the call. This man has done a lot for me these past years, and I'm always loyal to those who care for me so...
...time to engage warrior mode, and slow down the writing... Sorry
Also, I struggle a bit for the final of "troubles of a dragon owner"; I'm aware the waiting is a bit long, but I don't want to screw it up^^ be patient, I hope to release it for next week end.
Then, with my side series finished, I'll try to come back to Amaria, in hope that my proofreader can still help me with it.
take care everyone =)
