Good evening everyone! So, as the title says, I’m going to be attempting to figure out a new way of posting stories on FA. I’m thinking that, at the beginning of each month, I’ll try and post all the stories I did in the previous month! I’ll be aiming for the first weekend of each month to post stuff. Tell me what you think of that idea~! <3

Hey there everyone! I’m super sorry I haven’t made a journal in so long, I’ve been pretty busy lately! From Christmas to New Years (happy new year btw!) to finally going back to university for the semester, I’ve had a ton of things on my plate lately. Still, I think it would be good if I at least kept people up to date:

My Christmas was pretty good! Got to relax with my family, got a switch, and got smash bros (I’m still trying to get better at it). All in all it was a pretty good holiday for me.

My New Year’s Eve was pretty good too. I got to spend it at my cousin’s apartment and got to play games with my family. It was fun to bond with them a bit more, so I really enjoyed that.

Aaaannddd now I’m back at my university for the semester! So far my course load looks a little daunting, but I think I can do it. On top of that, I’ve been trying to write more often, and I’ll even be starting a bit of a series here soon (one that I hope you all enjoy)!

Speaking of you all, I almost didn’t notice that I hit 300 watchers!! I’d like to thank all of you for showing such an interest in my writing, and I sincerely hope that I don’t disappoint any of you! I know I need to start posting more often, which I hopefully will once I get commissions up and going again! Speaking of those, I’ll hopefully be opening them up within the next hour or so, so be on the lookout for that!

But yeah, that’s how I’ve been lately. What about all of you? How was your Christmas? Your New Years? I’m eager to hear from you all on how you’ve been doing! <3

Hey there everyone! I hope your week was good! I just wanted to make this to let everyone know that I plan on raising the prices for my commissions. It’ll be going from 100 words= $1 to 100 words= $1.25, with a minimum of 2k words. It might be a bit, but I’ve been thinking about doing something like this for a while. I’m sorry if it seems like a bit much, but that’s the decision I’m making. Aside from that, I hope you all have a pleasant rest of your day~

Hello there everyone. Hope you’re doing well. So, I thought I would go ahead and ask this: What are your thoughts on my writing? I ask because I don’t really ever get comments or anything, and I don’t really have much interaction on here. So... yeah, what do you guys think of it?

At request if a few people I know, I made myself a Ko-Fi account! Which you can find here: http://ko-fi.com/cathrynthewolfess

If you’re interested, you can give me a tip for any writing I post here! It would be really nice if you if you could, but don’t feel obligated~

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I posted anything. I just came by to let you guys know that My good friend  qrs22 is taking on commissions. She is an amazing person and really deserves a lot of love and support for they're work, so feel free to give her a look~

Also, I realize that I haven't posted many stories or anything as of late. I've been really caught up in school, and even when I'm not, I get really distracted. So, hopefully soon, I'll have some stuff to post on here. Thanks for reading~ <3

OMG! I'm so sorry that I've been putting this off for so long, but I'd just like to thank each and every one of you for watching me. When I started out on this site, I never guessed that I would gain such a fan base, and I'm so so sooooooo grateful to all of you! And I hope that, in the days to come, I am able to keep you all pleased with my work! Love you all~ <3 <3

So, as some of you may know, I suffer from anxiety and depression, and, as such, I'm learning how to cope with it. However, I've never actually found a way to relieve myself of it completely in some situations. So, I was wondering what all of you thought: how do you guys relieve your stress and how do you relax?

So... As the title says, I kinda want to change up how some of my characters are. Well... Mainly just Cathryn.

You see, I kinda consider Cathryn to be myself, so I kinda wanted to change her to fit my personality a bit more. Like, I kinda want her to be a bit more motherly to others and stuff like that (as weird as that might sound...). So, I was kinda wondering what you guys thought about an idea like that.

I also wanted Cathryn to be a witch as well, just because I love that idea! A motherly witch! It just sounds like a wonderful idea to me~ (Just kinda spitballing ideas out there, idk))

So, I was just kind of wondering what you all thought about that kind of idea. I always enjoy some feedback and just like trying to chat with you guys. Thanks for reading~!

So, the procedure went well and all, which is good. The only thing is that I'm restricted from eating certain foods for life, so... That "fun." I'm sure I'll get over it, hopefully.

Anyway, thank you to those who wished me luck and prayed for me and all that. It means a lot~ <3

So, as the title says, I'm having a procedure done tomorrow. It's nothing too big, the doctors are just going to be taking a look in my stomach. (Tmi, sorry)

I just wanted to let you all know and for you to wish me luck! I'll be fine, I'm sure, so don't worry too much about it~ <3

So much has happened to this site this week, it's really crazy. (Well, for me anyway) but I'm glad to see that everything is back and working now for the time being. I don't plan on leaving this site at all anytime soon, but I did make a weasyl, if your interested in talking on there. I won't be on much, though... But, if you want, you can go here: https://www.weasyl.com/~n4t4sangel

Anyway, I hope everyone is going ok! I'm really glad to be able to talk to everyone once again! <3

So, I've noticed more and more that people are starting to switch over to different sites after the whole FA shutdown. Now, I'm wondering: In your guy's opinion, what sites are usually as good as, or better than, FA? Now, I'm only asking in case I ever need to make an account to one of these other sites in case FA goes down again. Your help will be immensely appreciated, thank you! <3

Ok, so, as the title says, this is gonna be the start of my new blog-ish thing I'm gonna do on here. I plan to post a link to a recipe that I made in my free time, then I will critique it a little, telling about how much I liked/didn't like something when preparing it, how it tasted and the like. It won't be very often that I do this, but it think it would be nice to just put this out there for all of you guys~ <3

And now, onto the Dish: http://www.myrecipes.com/m/recipe/m.....r-pound-cake-0


•Preparation: (P.S.: give the ingredients a read first)

While this recipe does call for quite a few ingredients, the time it takes to prepare is very long. Mixing the butter on medium doesn't really get it as fluffy as it could have been. Nor did only 7 minutes actually get it to that point. I recommend mixing on high till it gets nice and airy. I also think that a good 10 minutes would work better than 7. The same goes for when you add the sugar, as it still feels grainy even after a good ten minutes of mixing on medium. Mixing it on high helps break down the sugar better and may cut time down, but only a little, since it does still take quite a while for it to break down.

When cracking the eggs, take the time to let it incorporate into the butter and sugar to the point of where it isn't visible anymore before adding the next one. It all around helps the process go along at a better pace for you once it's fully in there.

Adding in the flour and milk isn't all too bad, since you add it in alternating order. My only pet peeve about it would be it could be a bit messy as you have to keep switching between the two till it's all gone. When stirring in the extracts, be sure to get it all into the batter, but don't mix. Stir with a wooden spoon or whatever you might have for stirring.

Now, for the pan, be sure to grease and flour it well. If you were to use too much grease, you could accidentally end up frying the cake rather than baking it, and if you don't add enough, some of the cake might stick to the sides. Same with the flour, since it will help you be able to pull out the cake, though too much might make it stick as well.

Finally, the cooking time for said cake is quite a long time, an hour and 40 mins, so you might want to find something else to do while you wait. And once its fully baked in the oven, you'll need to wait for a while, around another 15-20 mins, for it to cool before attempting to pull it out of the pan.

Honestly, it is a bit of a hassle to prepare and get in the oven, but it is worth it to fully incorporate all the ingredients together. The final product is will make it all worth while.


•Final Product:

This cake lives up to its name quite easily. It's nice and dense, which is normal for a pound cake, and very rich. You can really taste the vanilla and almond extracts that you put into it, and it's very sweet. If you wanted to, you could even prepare a lemon glaze or dust it with powdered sugar, it makes it even more tasty. So, it was really worth the wait to make such a wonderful cake, and I do recommended making it if you have the time. Just know that you will need the patience, because this does take quite a bit to prepare.

The only problem I could see with this cake is actually how sweet it is. If it's too sweet for your likings, maybe use 2 1/2 cups of sugar or only 2. Though, it being too sweet shouldn't be too much of a problem if you have a sweetooth like myself~ <3

•Rating

So, if I had to give this a rating of some kind, I guess it would get.... A 4/5? Only because of how long it takes to prepare. Aside from that, it's almost perfect! <3

Well, I hope you enjoyed the critique (or the attempt at it xp) and I'll try to get more out there when I have the chance. Since this was a first time thing, I wanted to see what everyone thought of it first, so the next one will be a bit later.

So, enjoy! Feel free to leave a comment if you have a suggestion or a pastry that you would like me to try sometime. And I hope you all had a wonderful New Year, darlings~ <3

Well then, the year has finally come to an end. I'm my opinion, it was a bit long, but in some aspects it was short. I met plenty of nice, fun people, met some enemies, met a few loves but could not hold on to them. All in all, I feel as though this year was quite well rounded.

Now, as for my resolutions for this year... I plan to try and be more open with people and I plan to try and be online here more often. I really do want to know more of you guys, and I want to talk on here more.

Along with the above, I plan to be more true to myself. I'm not really the most open person, and I'm really awkward around people, but... I want to change that. I want to be able to be myself around people and to be able to actually hold a conversation. More than anything, I just want to be stress free, to actually enjoy myself~

Well, if you took the time, thanks for reading this, Darlings. I hope you all have a great, safe New Years~ <3

So, as the name implies, I plan on trying out trades. This is only gonna be writing on my end. It doesn't really matter to me what you trade to me, as long as we both agree on it.

I will be willing to write any type of story, and I'll try for around 500+ words. If you are interested, please send me a note.

That is all, and thank you for reading~ <3

Hey everyone! Just a little journal to express my gratitude towards all of my watchers, both old and new. I am extremely glad that you all like my writing. At the start, I was a little uneasy about posting stuff as to not seem weird or anything. But now, I'm trying hard to write stuff to post and for all of your enjoyments.

I blame school for not being able to write much, but I'm trying my best. x3 So again, thank you all very much, and I hope I continue to please you all. <3

I've been lacking lately in the writing department and I want to get back into it. So, as the title states, I am looking for ideas on what I should write and if anyone would like a story with their character in it, free of charge. It is all up to you, and I won't force anyone into anything.

So yeah, that's about it. and enjoy the rest o your day. ;3

Would anyone be interested in story requests? Just because?

If so, all I need is a reference and personality of your character and I'll be set to go! Only if you want to, though. I won't force anything. <3

Well now, never thought I'd get that many. Happy to be proved wrong! ;3

A reference to my pokemon oc. Loves him!<3


Name: Marcus

Species: Lapras

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Bisexual

Occupation: Model

Personality: Marcus is really clumsy, kind-hearted and a little slow. He's not very accustomed to his size and sometimes forgets how big he is, knocking down things without meaning to. But he helps out a lot whenever he messes up, taking full account on his faults and knowing them well. However, sometimes he doesn't know what he does, and most of the time is slow to understand things or if someone likes him or not. He also had a personal secret: he loves big, gassy people to date. But he keeps it very secret as to not seem a little crazy.

Appearance: He's the average size of most Lapras, with a little extra weight to him around his chest, giving him an endowed, almost a womanly look. He wears sports bras to support his hefty moobs, as well as jeans and a black hat with a red pokeball symbol on it. He has hazel eyes and a slightly shy gleam in them.
