Daily streams to finish Mischievous Diapercritter
Posted 6 years agoI want to wrap up part two of Mischievous Diapercritter (read part one) so I can move on to working on my personal projects and working on the website then eventually accept commissions again and open another YCH auction.
Just a reminder that the story has themes of adult baby, watersports, humiliation, and hypnosis.
To help me do this I've decided to not only set a personal deadlines and keep it it but also dedicate at least 30 minutes to writing after personal care (dinner, shower, etc.) and before doing other things (playing games, watching movies, etc) for the entire week.
I plan to stream while working on the story as well. Trying to bring audience engagement back after my hiatus.
Just a reminder that I host public writing streams on picarto. I'll make announcements before I stream. Keep an eye the telegram updates channel or on the discord server for those stream announcements.

September Update
Posted 6 years ago& August Update
Q: Lucid where have you been?!
A: I will get to that in this update.
I skipped the August Update because there wasn’t a whole lot to mention in it and I didn’t want to have a trend of my monthly updates only addressing my medical issues. Don’t get me wrong this update is going to partly be about that, but not entirely. There is some good news to be had too! it’s going to be a long post though. So strap in and be patient.
If you don’t like the monthly updates format or would prefer to be in the loop of things as they happen I highly recommend following the Telegram Updates Channel. I usually post smaller updates there the moment they happen. The monthly updates are usually a summary of all those updates with the major ones that didn’t fit withing the channel.
On the topic of Telegram I will be opening a new place for fans to discuss the stories, talk to me, and mingle with each other. This isn’t going to replace the Discord server, it is only meant to supplement it for the fans that prefer to use Telegram over Discord. There will be updates and announcements when the group is ready for the public.
Personal Update
Based on the previous paragraph I’m sure you can deduce that not too much has changed about me and my medical condition and you’re right! Treatment options were recommended by my neurologist but they were denied by my health insurance and I can’t afford the out of pocket costs. He tried to refer me to physical therapy and for the shots, however, I’m at a point where I would rather opt for surgery than some treatment options that is only going to postpone the need for surgery. My current game plan is to get better health insurance during open enrollment and hope that they cover the surgery.
I’m not sure if I mentioned this on the last update or not, but I was expecting my hours to be cut in early August and they were. I’m now working normal 40 hour weeks. This should, in theory, help me allocate more time into writing and streaming.
Speaking of streaming, game streams appear to no longer be feasible right now. I can still do writing stream because it’s not too hard on my laptop, but it can’t seem to handle gaming and streaming at the same time. Usually PS4 remote play is a viable alternative but it isn’t working right. I do know that Sony is planning a new firmware update in the near future that is supposed to fix a lot of connectivity issues and I’m hoping that remote play is included in those fixes. So until I can afford to build me a decent gaming PC or that firmware update is launched I am only able to stream writing.
I have considered making a gofundme for the surgery I need, but I’m not one to do that story of stuff. Same goes for making a donation/crowd funding page to build a new PC. I’ve thought about it, but it’s just not for me.
I do have many ways you can support me though. I have a Patreon and I accept donations while streaming and anytime to my Google Pay at this address: lucidkobold@gmail.com. If you’d like me to store this money towards specific funds then leave a note on your donation and I’ll be sure to add it to the appropriate account you’ve requested otherwise it’ll likely go into a general account that all my donations and crowd funding is funnelled into.
I will probably make a dedicated page on the website for all my donations with links rather than having everyone try to find it in the FAQs page. Seems more effecient that way. I would also include a pcpartpicker link to the PC build as well as some other wishlist items and all other information about leaving noted on donations.

Writing Update
I do have some updates regarding writing. You’d think with almost 2 month since the last update I’d have something completed by not but I have only been working this new schedule for a few weeks now and the first two weeks was my body adjusting to it. It’s super hard to adjust sleeping schedules though I was able to. Not to mention the pain hasn’t gotten any better at all.
Despite all the previous news and complications I have made a lot of progress on Mischievous Diapercritter and it’s almost done. I have one more part to get out and proofreading and it’ll be ready to upload. I have the ideas, inspiration, motivation, time, and energy. I don’t always feel up for writing because the pain is often too much. Not only that but there been some home/family issues I don’t wish to publicly talk about and it’s been affecting me a lot. These issued have since been resolved and shouldn’t persist anymore.
I end this update saying that with my family/home issues resolved and having fully adjusted to this new work schedule I should have no issues working on writing more frequently. That’s the very least I can do. As for the website changes, most of them are low priority and will be worked on once I finish up on Mischievous Diapercritter. I plan to work on writing some today in hopes of finishing this week, but I hate setting deadlines because there is no guarantee i will make it since my body is so wonky right now. I’m hoping that in the next week or so everything will be work as normal and hopefully even better than everyone is used to from me with all my extra free time.
Another thing with mentioning: commissions.
Which are still currently closed, but I do plan to open the hypno scripts again once I publish Mischievous Diapercritter and have the website maintenance done. These are usually quick and easy to write as long as there’s a clear goal in mind with them. I do still plan to have the story commissions open again once I have the first chapter of the new story published. There is currently no ETA on any of this. There will also be a small change to the ToS for the commissions when they open again. Nothing major just stating that I will accept private commissions (not for me or the client to upload) for an extra cost. The reason for the extra cost is because I wouldn’t be able to benefit from it since it’s not publicly in my portfolio and couldn’t attract any potential clients in the future. I will always so anonymous commissions at no extra cost. The client just won’t get any credit for the idea of the ideas in the commission.

July Update
Posted 6 years agoNothing much has changed since the last update, but these are called monthly updates for a reason. I am still working crazy hours and unbearable pain is still impairing my ability to focus on writing. Commissions are still closed and will remain closed until further notice. There’s no updates on my personal projects but I have made more progress on Mischievous Diapercitter after a short writer’s block. I was finally able to find a way to transition to a new scene. If all goes well then I expect to have the story done soon since the rest will be a breeze for me.
Personal update
I got the results of my MRI. There's a bulging disc that is pressing against my nerve. It's just what I thought. Doc wants to refer me to a neurologist and he says they'll likely inject me with some shot depends on what they think of the results. The appointment is the 11th of July so hopefully just a few more weeks of dealing with this pain and then it will be business as usual other than work affecting how much time I can dedicate to writing. I'll keep everyone in the loop once I have my appointment on the 11th.
Patreon Announcement
I have lost 2 patrons due to changes in their finances and as such the $30/mo goal is no longer being met. Thankfully I can cover the rest of the hosting fees, but I don’t know for how long. I have no idea how much these neurologist visits will be or if I will need some procedure to correct the issue and if my insurance will cover such a procedure. I hate to beg people for money and that isn’t what Patreon is for, but if you could contribute $1/mo or if you're already a patron and can afford to go up a tier or two so we can get back the $30/mo goal that would be amazing. I really don’t want to see the website close because I could no longer fund it on my own or cover the costs that patreon wasn’t covering. https://patreon.com/LucidKobold

June Update
Posted 6 years agoPersonal Update
I don't remember if I mentioned this in any recent updates but I've been working 60 hours a week the past few weeks now.
Which is good for me because I need the $ but bad because I'm trying to work through my back injury.
Speaking of that I should be getting an MRI next week (still waiting for the referral). That should hopefully show what's going on with my back! I still think it's sciatica though.
I'll be working this schedule for the rest of June and as a result I will have to close the commisions for the month since I won't have time to work on them and I'm already backlogged.
The future if this job is hazy - The building I'm working at is being sold and the last tenant is moving out on between July 2 - 6. It's uncertain if I will be needed in this building and if I will have regular hours (relatively speaking) after that point. Regardless I am putting a lot of effort into switching fields. It's unlikely I'll be able to do that before July but a kobold can only try.
Writing Update
With all these hours I've been working, while also dealing with immense pain I haven't been able to find the time to work on stories. Which means very little progress has been made on Chapter 2 of Mysterious Poké Ball. I have started on it. I have been writing little by littl4. Just not as much as I want to.
Since I have this commission I still need to pump out I will now take it and prioritize it, postponing Brother's Keeper by another few weeks. I really feel bad for going this long and making such little progress but it feels like I barely have time to breathe right now.
To make it up to the fans I will post a small spoiler about the upcoming story that I've been talking about. You can see this teaser over on this post or in the teasers channel

Late May Update
Posted 6 years agoWhere have you been?
I’m not sure how many of you (if any) follow my Telegram update channel. I post a lot of my major updates there throughout the month and then collect all the posts to make a summary of all those updates to post here and on the website. It’s the best way to see all the lastest news and to always be in the loop with the latest updates.
Personal Update
Honestly, not too much has been going on other than my job tossing me every which way which was affecting my sleep schedule and ability to write. I am happy to say that I now have a permanent place (for now), the only downside is I work almost 12 hours Monday – Friday so I won’t be able to stream as much and will have to work from my phone. Which I don’t like to do.
Other than that I am still trying to get to the bottom of this back pain which has dramatically started to affect my quality of life lately. The good new is (if you can consider this good news) I’m going to get an MRI soon. Hopefully they can use that to find out what’s wrong and correct it.
Writing Update
Nothing new with Brother’s Keeper or that new, untitled story since I prioritized the YCH story over my other projects. I did, however, publish first part of [url=]Mischievous Diapercritter[https://lucid-writing.net/mischievo.....iapercritter/] for everyone to read.
With that done I will be working on chapter 2 of Brother’s Keeper for now then I will finish part 2 of the YCH story.
Then I will be moving on to finishing up the final details of that new story I need to finish creating. I’m still debating on if I should use my own character/sona in the story. I don’t usually like to do that with a story that is planned to be long. I might post a poll about it. Who knows, I might start a backstory of my character for everyone to enjoy and help give more insight to him/me.
After I get chapter one of that story out think I want to make another YCH auction, especially after seeing the success of the first one.
I’ll try my best to alternate between commissions and my projects as well as stream here and there. It’s going to hard to promise and streams or stick to a schedule since I’ll be working almost 60 hours a week. I’ll try to make it all work.
Stay tuned for all of that.

May Update
Posted 6 years agoPersonal Update
Let me start off with a personal update. Some of you may remember a month or two I mentioned I have a back injury that is affecting my quality of life a lot. That hasn’t got any better, unfortunately, and it is still affecting my writing. I can’t focus on writing or much of anything when there is a searing pain in my lower back. Luckily ice packs and warm baths bring occasional relief and so does anti inflammatories. I was planning to see my doctor again once I receive my medical benefits through my employer, but that might not come due to them cutting me down to part time again. Life truly is stressful and I have a hard time coping most days with my depression and anxiety, the back pain doesn’t help at all either. Regardless of all of this while I am home I will be writing any chance I get if I am in a proper mental state to do so. I’ll be spending a lot of my time filling out applications again and will be my top priority, it’s just so hard to find a job in my area that wouldn’t expect me to stand or walk for extended period of time. It’s just not something I can do with my back injury right now. Enough of this nonsensical ranting onto other things.
Writing update
Chapter two of Brother’s Keeper is still on the way. I took a short break from it to work on the diapercritter ych story which is almost done. I am currently proofreading the story and once I am done I will work on Brother’s Keeper then go back to finish the second part of that diapercritter story. Remember you can always check the status of all my commissions and writing projects on my Trello board.
Commission Update
If you missed my last post (https://t.me/LucidWritingUpdates/227 | https://lucid-writing.net/change-in.....r-commissions/) about PayPal’s new policy which is making me leave their service entirely I recommend you do.
From this moment forward I will no longer be using PayPal to accept any payments, donation, or personal money transfers nor will I be using it to send invoices or pay for things online.
From now on I will be using Square to send invoices and accept payments for commissions. The commission information page has been updated to reflect this change. Don’t worry you can pay invoices from Square without having an account.
From now on I will be accepting donations and personal money transfers through Google Pay at my email address on the FAQ page.
Teasers on the website
If you did not know I post teasers, WIP, and behind the scenes stuff to eligible patrons., but i also post less in-depth teasers, WIP, and behind the scenes stuff to a public Telegram channel. I want to expand this beyond Telegram and start posting this on the website as well. It seems some of you think so too according to this poll. Which is why in the next coming week or two I will be looking into a way to post this content on public posts in a way that will hide potential spoilers so that people who don’t want to see them won’t. If anyone would want to see them then then they would be able to click a button that reveals the material. This way everyone can have access to my public content through my website, which is what it is for anyway.
I likely will not transfer the old teaser, wip, and behind the scenes content to the website, but all future content will be available on the website and Telegram channel.

Late April Update
Posted 6 years agoLate April Update
Happy belated Easter everyone. I hope you all had a better weekend than I did. I have a few updates today.
Personal
I'd like to start with a personal update since this will be affecting and possibly delaying projects for a few days.
My computer will be out of commission for a few days while I upgrade the hard drive in it to an SSD. While I could clone the old drive I would rather start with a fresh install of windows and then reinstall all my apps and games after that. That's what might take a few days to do.
I'm upgrading the drive because I've always had issue with my computer slowing down from time to time, especially on a boot. I did a little research and my computer came with a 5400 rpm drive (laptop) so that's where the slow down is. I've never noticed my memory or CPU being remotely close to being maxed out on these slowdowns and it usually was the hhd. So this is the solution I have chosen until I am able to focus in building me a desktop computer. Which is what I will now be allocating my patreon and donation funds to; after I pay the bill for the hosting of the website of course.
With my computer out of commission I can't write all that much since I prefer doing it on a keyboard than the cramped screen of my phone and I also won't be able to work on anything with the website since the backend isn't very mobile friendly at times. Not that I had anything planned for the website other then completing the beta site and reviewing the beta applications, but it's still worth noting.
Writing
I have started writing the second chapter of brother's keeper since the last update and it's slowly coming together. At the moment I don't have an ETA on when I will post it, especially with my laptop going out of commission for a few days. I will make be making patreon posts, including teaser and wip, about the progress once I have my laptop up again.
I've also conjured up a cool idea to try to have a YCH action for a story idea I have. I will post the auction sometime this weekend. Stay tuned for that.
Other
I'm hoping that swapping this drive will help the overall performance of my laptop, but I know this won't fix a slow cpu or slow ram. Neither of which should be maxed out from what I want to do with the laptop.
I hope this will allow me to start streaming on twitch again. I will also look into streaming services I can use for patrons to watch while I work on the projects.

Brother's Keeper & Commission Open
Posted 6 years agoI could have waited to post this as an April update, but I hate leaving fans in the dark for too long.
First let's start with a little personal update. Since the last couple of updates I have seen a doctor and gotten a diagnosis. I was told I need to stay off my feet since that's what is causing my pain. I was also told to avoid heavy lifting and all that too just so I don't make it worse. So I can't go back to that job I lost, at least not until I get better. The good news is that they allowed me to voluntarily resign and the director of the department wants to rehire me if and when I get better. So there's always that. I was able to be re-hired at my old workplace so I have stable income now, but my first paycheck is so far away from now it's unbearable. Literally barely going to scrape by if I don't get more patreon funds, donations, or commissions. (Links will be at the end of this post)**
Bewteen that injury, the doctor's visits, frantically trying to find a job, and then getting re-hired I haven't had the time to work on the new story much. So I'm going to put it on the back burner for now and make Chapter 2 of Brother's Keeper. I just don't like having my readers wait so long for stuff to read. I understand that it's about quality and not quantity, but i barely have anything done for the new story and it could take another month or two to have everything in order and ready to be posted. I'd rather just make Brother's Keeper Chapter 2 for now and work on the new story when I'm less stressed and can actually focus on plotting out that story.
I know the last few months have been nothing but personal updates and nothing story based and I'm sorry for that but, as I've said, I hate to leave the fans in the dark. If something is delayed I'd rather announce it than not post it and leave everyone in the dark. This will change though because after this last commissions I will be able to focus on stories a little more since I won't be all that desperate for money anymore.
That being said; just a reminder that all minor updates regarding stories are posted on patreon and available to all patrons and major updates (release date, delays, change in stage/status of a chapter) are always public and posted everywhere updates are regularly posted. So consider supporting me on patreon to gain access to all news regarding the stories.
Other perks and rewards are given to higher tier supporters such as behind the scenes and, WIP previews, early access to uploads, lice streams of me working on the stories, monthy q&a, etc.

At this time I don't have a proper ETA on Chapter 2 of Brother's Keeper but I'll be posting that information once I start working on it.

Commissions Open & Patreon Page Update
Posted 6 years agoSo it appears that I forgot to update the Patreon page after opening the website and only just remembered to do that today after updating my Trello board and seeing that was past due on my to-do list. So the Patreon page is now fully up to date with all links going to the website where applicable, I also had to update the discord invite link as well.
For anyone who isn't following my Telegram updates page; I lost the job that I mentioned that I was hired for in my last update. Tl;dr I was having trouble keeping up with the physical demands of the job (walking and standing for extended periods of time results in numb, tingling and weak feelings in my legs along with severe lower back pain that hinders my ability to walk or bend/twist my back) and thus was forced to resign until i get better. I did get to see a doctor though and he says its a pinched nerve and should heal up in a few months, but if it doesn't then I should get an MRI done.
Since I'm now out of work I have no choice but to work on commissions and my stories in between applying for and seeking for a new job. It going to be a stressful time that might throw me into a pit of depression, but I don't have any other choice until I get better.
I'll take any donations through PayPal for anyone who doesn't want to provide support through Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/LucidKobold). My PayPal email address is lucid[at]lucid-writing.net

March Update
Posted 6 years agoWebsite Update
I was able to enable HTTPS (SSL) site wide over the last week and made some other minor changes around the site. Nothing major and nothing that needed me to put the website into maintenance mode (even though the website did experience 500 errors during this change). I also made changed in the backend to make the website more secure over all other than encrypting it with HTTPS (SSL). I hope this eases any concerns anyone had about making accounts on the website.
Writing & Personal Update
I, unfortunately, haven't made much progress with plotting out and creating the new story that I mentioned before. I have been working on commissions this month to try to make money on account of that fact that I haven't been working. The good news it that I am starting a new job on Monday the 4th. I will likely close commissions slots for the month of March so that I can focus on making this new story, starting this new job, fixing my finances after not having proper income for almost a month, and to celebrate my birthday in whatever way I can with the limited funds I will have.
On the topic of commissions, I have opened a Trello board for statuses and other information regarding my commissions and also to keep the story statuses updated for all the fans other than a monthly or bi-monthly update. With the Trello board you can check the status of everything any time you want and always know which chapter/part and even story I am working on as well as what stage it is in. I hope this will help with fan engagement of the stories and bring commissions when I decide to open them back up.
I have also been trying to stream a little more frequently. You can check that out over at http://www.twitch.tv/lucidkobold

Oopsie! (Commission Update)
Posted 6 years agoAfter peeking checking the website today it appears that I forgot to publish the finalized commission prices despite making typing them up. The changes was saved as a draft and wasn't published when I signed off last night. I thought I clicked the publish button but I obviously didn't. Sorry for this confusion.
It doesn't matter that much anyhow because I needed to clarify a few things under the hypnosis script commissions anyways. Someone was confused about the terminology I used on the page so I decided to add that onto the page as well.
The new prices are what they will be for now. Feel free to contact me for any inquiries or questions regarding the commission's, prices, etc. Thank you to the person to point out that some of the terminology is confusing for people who aren't well versed in hypnosis speak.
I'm looking into using Trello to help aide me in my commissions. Helping to show people what stage their commision is in with 1 easy click onto my page. I have seen a few artists use it and i may even use it to have the statuses of the stories on too! Still a thought though and might try it out very soon.

February Update
Posted 6 years agoGood February everyone, happy black history month.
Reward Tiers Update
This month brings a few big changes, specifically to the patreon rewards. The rewards have been revised because, as i've said in a previous update, I was contacted by a trust and safety member of Patreon in regards to rewards I was previously offering. So i've edited the higher rewards and lowered the price of them. I do plan to expand on these rewards and specifically offer a YCH voucher into one of the rewards where patrons will get a 1 use voucher to have their character featured in the story they choose on redemption. Still thinking about this a little and trying to decide how to structure this because I wouldn't want to always be picking random characters to use in the stories and I also don't want to have a stockpile of people with YCH vouchers waiting to redeem. Especially since I probably won't be able to release chapters every month. It's just an idea for now, but I would love to hear feedback about this idea and how to structure the reward.
Story Update
I will be working on starting a new story which was requested by fans in a poll in December. This new story will not be a fanfiction nor will it involve Pokemon. I want to spice things up a little bit and make a diverse set of stories for fans to read. I already have a rough idea in my head but I still need to write it all up and get everything going on it. I plan to stream this when I start working on the first part of the plot and the character dynamics and all. Stay tuned for an update on that.
Discord Update
I have changed a few things within the discord server, specifically adding a few new categories to it. I'm trying to spice things up just a little, but also I started using it for hypnosis sessions. So i felt it would be appropriate to add a dedicated category for that. I also added a category for gaming just to add more diversity than just story discussions and hypnosis stuff.
Twitch
I have been streaming on Twitch here and there as well. Feel free to check that out. I might even stream tonight to get my mind off of all of these struggles. Stay tuned for that if I do decide to.
Commission Update
I have updated my commission prices and added a space for hypnosis scripts to be requested from me. You come to me with your idea for a hypnosis script and I will write it. With this script you are allowed to do whatever you want as it is your idea you came to me with. The prices for these scripts vary and all start at the same price and gradually increase based on the complexity of the script required.
Personal Update
I am considering announcing a discounted price for a set of emergency commissions. I don't remember if i mentioned this in a previous update, but I currently work as a contract security guard and last month my company had a few contracts up for renewal. The place I was posted at, unfortunately, decided not to renew their contract with my company. This has left me with very spotty work and barely making 25 hours a week. I do have a new job i should be getting next week and this will help me, but i'll still be behind on my bills by missing almost an entire month's of work. I am still looking into making a paypal donation page for anyone who wished to help me further than commissioning me and supporting me on patreon.
I'm trying my best to stay above all of this stress, but it's really hard. It's been delaying my work, these updates, and delaying tasks I need to get done. I've been needing to update my commission prices and the reward tiers for 2 weeks now and I just couldn't get in the right mindset to do it.

Late January Update
Posted 6 years agoI originally planned to make this update early this week in Sunday or Monday, but I lost track of days and have just been busy in this part of the week.
I have to make this update today because there will be a significant change to the patreon reward tiers as I was contacted by the Patreon trust and support team this morning. It's nothing major, they simply told me that having raffles as a rewards wasn't allowed on their platform and asked me to remove it from my creator page, reward tiers, and posts. Which I kindly obliged.
This means that the reward tiers will be revamped and overall will likely be cheaper with some even merging with others. I think the highest I can justify charging any rewards is $25 without raffles involved. I would still love to hear feedback on what to add, remove, or adjust in the tiers. I just can't seem to work out what rewards seem fair for the price within my head.
I've also received some constructive criticism on Mysterious Poké Ball regarding how it has ended. Rest assured that this won't be the last time we see Lucid, Riolu, Nesil, and the others. I will continue that story line sometime, but it will be under a different title. The original Mysterious Poké Ball will still be part of the tags for easier searchability and I'll notate on the future releases that it's a continuation of that story. It's just not a story I can see lasting longer than 5 chapters without it getting old or stale to myself of the fans and readers.
The next step in writing is to make my own unique story from scratch. Which isn't something I'm the best at, but I know once I get it going I won't have any issue keeping the momentum of it. I already have a rough idea but I only have enough plot for a few chapters before I would hit a block. I still have to develop the characters too, which is something I have struggle with more. I always found it easy to keep the plots and stories going than the initial creation process. Which is probably why I enjoy mixing things up a little with a fanfiction or two.
At this time I don't have any ETA on announcements regarding this new, original piece or when it will be ready. I would rather not make promises I cannot keep. Some stuff happened this week regarding my job and I might be starting the transition process into a new job within the next coming weeks. I've also been recovering from a back injury which has even gotten in the way of me playing games.
I can say this: if it takes me too long to come up with the initial plot and characters for this new story then I will likely make chapter 2 of Brother's Keeper just so you guys aren't left with nothing to read.
With me luck in everything and I hope you guys have had a better start to 2019 than I have.

Website Launched, Mysterious Poké Ball Part 2 Complete
Posted 6 years agoI am so sorry about all the delays with the launch of the website and the completion of Mysterious Poké Ball. I am happy to finally launch the website and release the 2nd and final part of this short story, thus concluding it.
Now that the website is live I will now be posting stories exclusively to it and posting 1 to 2 page previews to FA and any other websites. I will be posting commissions in full the FA, the website and any other websites I decide to use to publish my work with in the future.
As promised the second part of Mysterious Poké Ball was uploaded to the website and will remain exclusively hosted on there. However, because there has been so many delays on launching the website i have decided to host the 2nd part of Mysterious Poké Ball exclusively on the website for 1 whole week before the preview is uploaded to FA and a full version is uploaded to patreon. This is 4 days longer than my original plan.
Read Mysterious Poké Ball Part 2
I welcome everyone to create an account on the website to post comments about my work or join the discord to participate in discussions about my works, including Mysterious Poké Ball.
I hope everyone enjoys the website and feels it was worth the wait.

January Update - Happy New Year
Posted 6 years agoHappy belated new year everyone!
Don't worry I'm still alive and I'm still working on things. Sorry for that bad news. Hahah. I kid.
First let's talk about the website. (And a bit of a personal update)
Everything seems to be perfect at this very moment and should be ready to launch any moment, but as you all remember I want to launch the website with the premier of Mysterious Pokè Ball Part 2 which is what's been delayed.
The slight delay on me writing is due to lack of sleep as I try to get my sleeping schedule back on track after working nearly 2 weeks straight of 12 hour shifts, a strange work week this week, slight procrastination, some writers block, holidays and spending time with family for it, sheer excitement that I'll finally be getting home Internet again on Monday, and trying to order and arrange a few things for that.
Don't worry though because I plan to open Google docs not long after posting this. Not only that but I vow to finish Mysterious Pokè Ball Part 2 before I will allow myself to get distracted on trying to catch up on 6 months of lost gaming. Especially since I need to renew my ps plus membership anyways.
That's actually what I've been arranging for. I used my Christmas money to get me a "gaming" office chair (my old chair was a wooden one and is probably a bitlg contribute to my back pain considering it was most prominent after long gaming sessions), I want to invest in a few new games (I'm looking at the division & rainbow six siege bundle), and I'm trying to decide if I should try to get a microphone for my streaming (something like a yeti, snowball or other equivalent) but all the times I've been stream people say my current mic already sounds very high quality.
That's another thing I'm so excited for is to stream again! That right you'll get to watch me stream, this includes gaming, commission work, and normal writing projects (accessible to the patrons). I would have tried to stream for my patrons and for commissioners anyway but I would've been limited to using my phone's tether hotspot which I actually used all my data allowance for this billing cycle. Which was another reason for the delay; I can't work on the website all that much from my phone and I have to work from my PC.
What about the story, you ask?
Well, I would say I'm probably ¼ to ⅓ done with MPB part 2, it's not like I've completely neglected it this whole week. 8 just haven't been working on it as much as I probably should've been. My mind being all over the place, writers block, and lack of sleep definitely didn't help at all.
I doubt I can complete it by tonight, but I am aiming for tomorrow or Sunday with Monday being the absolute latest. I made no plans this weekend, but I do have some chores and errands to do. Though that shouldn't take all that long.

Website Update - Huge bug squished
Posted 6 years agoFinally fixed a major but involving logging in/signing up with a Google account.
This "bug" was simply the result of the security plug-in doing its job. It took some re-configuring to get the two to stop arguing.
My next test is to try the mailing list for new blog posts. If this test passed then I think we could be on track to open the website early.
We are gdpr complaint the last time I viewed the privacy policy anyways. We have a proper terms of service but I will have to review that as well before we go public.
Other than all of that I'm Working on the buddypress profiles. What fields to add to the profiles and such.
I believe I have it configured properly so that non-registered users can't see a member's profile which was a bug I found. I have yet to test this with the fix I tried to implement.
I haven't done any writing this past week. I was busy with family for the holidays and working my hectic work schedule. Even so I was trying very hard to fix this bug with the website... I was a little annoyed to find out that the fix was simpler that I would've originally thought... But it's fixed now and that's all that matters.
Now that this major "bug" is fixed I do plan to write some today. I still wish to launch the site with Part 2 of Mysterious Poké Ball exclusively hosted on it for the first 3 days of the website being live. I would hate to delay the website launch because it wasn't ready but if I have to then I will.
Don't forget that the beta registration is still open but it won't be the closer I get to completing the testing.

Website Beta Registration Open
Posted 6 years agoThe beta registration is now live. You may not register by going to the homepage of the site or by using this direct link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1.....rm?usp=sf_link
Currently there is not deadline or rush for registration. I understand that it's the holidays.

Website update
Posted 6 years agoI know I haven't been posting updates here lately but that's because I'm working on the website and I have been posting updates to my telegram update channel.
You should catch up on all of that if you haven't already it all starts right here: https://t.me/LucidWritingUpdates/87
The plan was to have everything set up and have beta registration open tonight but I don't have time to work on the website tonight since I found out I have to work in the morning.
I will instead try to have everything up on Saturday evening.
I also originally planned to have the Website fully open on the 1st but I work 12 hours that day. So it'll likely be pushed back to Friday or Saturday.
What I have absolutely decided on is, in celebration of the website launching I will release the second part of Mystery Poké Ball exclusively on the website 3 days before I upload it on patreon or FA.
So be excited about that.
However every other piece of work will be uploaded exclusively to Patreon 2 weeks early (and will be available on the website as well if you login and have pledged enough to reach or surpass the early access tier) and will then be available to the public on the website after that.
I will likely post previews of my work on FA (probably ¼ to ⅓ of a chapter or part of a story and then include a link to the website) just to gain exposure and fans.
Don't forget that my website will never share your information, there will be no 3rd party trackers (other than Google analytics; however, the website will anonymize your IP before sending it to Google), and there will be no ads. The idea is that patrons and PayPal donations will fund the website.

We have a domain!
Posted 7 years agoSomeone; who wishes to remain anonymous, has donated $20 directly to my PayPal to be used in securing a domain name.
I opened a short poll on telegram and the majority voted for Lucid-Writing.net of which I secured. See here:

https://t.me/LucidWritingUpdates/89
That being said I will be seeking beta testers for the website in as early as a few days. So keep an eye on updates regarding that.

Mysterious Poké Ball Revision
Posted 7 years agoWhile rereading the first part of the story for a memory refresher before working on part 2, I felt this story wasn't up to my standards. So I decided to proofread and edit the story for a reupload. The re-upload is to considered a second revision.
This was my first piece of writing since high school so I did expect it to be a little rough around the edges but it didn't come anywhere near my standards.
This second revision hasn't changed the story at all. I just wanted the story to flow better for easier readability and enjoyment. I also gave the characters more.. well.. character, for lack of a better word.
If you enjoyed the first revision I recommend you to read this one anyway because it's much better. Link here
I will be writing part 2 of Mysterious Poké Ball very soon; in fact, I originally expected to have part 2 early released on patreon by Sunday, but I spent a day revising the first part and have obligations for work on the weekend. So this will delay the upload date I will try to work on part 2 to hopefully release it on Sunday but I can't guarantee an upload date at the moment.

Poll Results
Posted 7 years agoI realize I didn't post a journal about the poll and I am sincerely sorry about that. I will make sure to post a journal for the next poll.
The poll is closed and results are in.
Pie chart of the results
I'll start working on a part 2 to Mysterious Poké Ball sometime this week. Read the first part if you haven't already!
As for the new project, I already have another idea for a story that has the potential to become long term and interactive. I was thinking about saving it for a patreon exclusive story but my non patrons deserve to have more than just Pokémon Fanfiction to read.
The most I'm willing to say about this new story so far is that it involves dragons and furries... Maybe a few kobolds.. I haven't fully plotted this story out yet so it's still just a jumbled thought-mess in my head.

Commission information
Posted 7 years agoI'm here to write some smut!
Prices $15 for the first 1,000 words then $1.50 per each additional 150 words.
How you will pay for your commission
After discussing the details and agreeing on a finalized estimated cost I will send you an invoice to PayPal. I require half the cost up front and the other half upon completion.
How it all works
You will contact me on telegram or discord letting me know that your interested in commissioning me. We will discuss the details and try to determine how long you want the commission to be, how long you think it would be, the themes and other details you want and if I'm interested in the idea I'll help estimate the word count of the story. If the story behind to become longer than originally estimated I will try to find a nifty place to stop, unless the commissioner would be willing to pay the difference for me to complete it, and submit it to the commissioner for review. I will happily pick up a additional parts of stories I haven't completed for my customers. After all this hubbub, regardless of overshooting the estimate or not, I will then submit the rough draft to the commissioner for them to review where we will discuss edits to the store. I will then take these edits into consideration before making a final version and calculating the final coast based upon the final word count after receiving payment I will submitted the finalized draft to the customer and upload my version to the services of my choice. I would appreciate it if you didn't drag your feet during the review/edit process, the quicker you look it over, the quicker you can get your finalized product.
What themes will you accept?
I'm very open to almost any kinks and themes; however, I am human and thus I also have my own likes and dislikes. The easiest way to fully express what i do and don't like is to provide my f-list upon contact. Though it would be easiest for me and anyone interested in my commissions for me to list off some themes I'm not comfortable working with. With that being said, I reserve the right to decline a commission for any reason before prices are negotiated, negotiations are settled, and money is exchanged.
What I won't write
Cubs or underage characters within a sexual scenes. Every character within a sexual scene has to be 18 and older.
Scat of any form including messy diapers.
Hard vore, death, snuff, gore and any of that. I would never kill off any characters within my stories and it's cool if you are into that stuff, but I simply can't bring myself to it.
Unfortunately there are a few species I'm not all that comfortable with which includes but aren't limited to: bovines, equines (including mlp) and swines just to name a few.
I reserve the right to refuse to write any concept for any reason, even if it’s not listed above.
Anything else I should know?
Every time I work on your commission I will stream it so that you can watch, assuming you are available to watch me. You will get exclusive access to a Google doc of your commission so that you can see regular updates and watch the progression of your story. It can be fun to watch someone's creative process and even more exciting to watch as your idea comes to life before your eyes.
I will never put any commissions behind paywalls. The only person who will be giving me money for your commission is you, the commissioner. You will be credited as the commissioner in any way you wish; i.e social media links, FA link, etc. I reserve the right to upload any work I create anywhere I want at any time. This means that every commission I make will be publicly available on whatever sites I choose to upload it to. Please let me know which file type you wish to receive your story, otherwise I will give it to you in a .doc file. I reserve the right to use your ideas in my own works to some degree, I promise I will try to mix it up somewhat. Please don't hesitate to be as specific and detailed as possible when giving me your idea; this will help me to create your commission as close to how you envisioned it as possible.
How to contact:
You may contact me on telegram @LucidKobold or find me in my discord server. Please mention that you are contacting me about a commission inquiry from the start. This will help with the process and help me not assume you're just some random looking to RP or something.
I reserve the right to remove you from my contacts/message list once the commission is done. I will politely request for you do the same if I do. Please don't make things weird.
Note that I am not likely to respond quickly to notes on FurAffinity, the best ways to contact me are above.

I have a Patreon now!
Posted 7 years agoI have decided to make a patreon for anyone who wants to support my work and help fund a future website for me to self publish my works to.
Not only this but patrons will gain access to patreon exclusives such as patreon exclusive updates, early access to uploads, patreon discord server; higher tiers will be entered into a monthly raffle for a free 2,500 word short story and another tier will have a chance to have their character featured within one of my current stories.
In the future I plan to make patreon exclusive stories; this likely won't be a pay-per-story but at a certain tier you will gain access to the archive of all of the patreon stories.
I will be making a discord server for the patrons in a few days, so anyone who supports that tier will not have access to it yet. I will also look into patreon-only streaming services, I have heard that a few exist somewhere or i'll find a way to stream to the patrons of that tier level and above.
I will also be releasing commission info soon.
