Hi, all!

So, I'm just going to let you all know that I finally gotten around to setting up a shop for myself, here on e-junkie: https://330887.e-junkie.com/

I know a lot of people use gumroad, but so far, I got to say, e-junkie seems to be just as convenient, and it costs less. Anyways, you'll find all the story packs and projects I've done so far with my good friends,  rockytheprocy and  cedricbrowning, and I'll be updating it with new stuff soon!

Also, since it's an older story, The Chronicle of Theo, a story pack with original illustrations from both the artists listed above, is now on sale for $6! If you haven't taken a look yet, you'll be getting 15 stories throughout history as Theo enlarges some of the biggest personalities of all time, with each story illustrated by Brock or Cedric!

Of course, Big Ballads, the Disney-centric story pack Brock and I worked on, is available as well. Check it out!

Finally, hang tight; the final part of Theo's Party will be posted in the next few days, and after that, it'll be business as usual. Thanks for the support, everyone!

Take care, and God bless,
-Renard

So! I got the teaching job. I'll start my first class next Friday, and interestingly enough, it'll be at my old high school. So that should be fun!

That being said, I'm currently bogged down by a lot of projects. The rest of April will be a busy month for me, as I'm juggling Theo's party, a story pack with  rockytheprocy (stay tuned for that), patreon, and my own commissions. I'm trying to cover all my bases best as I can, but it will slow things down a bit. Sorry! Moving into May will see me less busy, hopefully, and June I'll be much more flexible with school no longer in session.

That being said, take care, and God bless,
-Renard

Hello everyone, and Happy Easter!

Just a heads up; the next few days are going to be a little harrowing for me, so Theo's party will be updated on Wednesday. I have an interview for a teaching position on Tuesday, so wish me luck!

Speaking of,  cedricbrowning and I are going to be closing up shop soon! We are only taking FOUR party guests before we close up shop, so if you're interested in attending Theo's party, check out the details here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26549457/

Enjoy the holiday, everyone!

Take care and God bless,

Hey, all.

I don't want too many people concerned, I just sort of hit a brick wall. To some, I may have come off as a bit stand-offish the past few days, and I'm very sorry about it. It's not you, it's me. I'm stressed and anxious about a lot of things right now, and what sucks is, I'm waiting on practically everything. I'm waiting on news about a new job, waiting on news about a bonus from my old job, waiting on money, waiting on word from a publisher, all the while stuck in a purgatory that I don't see any viable way out of. It got bad enough that I passed out at work. I know I said things were going to be slow, but I never intended them to be this slow. And I'm sorry about that.

I don't really want to talk about it, because there's nothing to be done. It's not a problem I can think my way through, it's all just waiting. I've already done my part, filled out their forms, reached out, networked, etc, now I'm at the mercy of big, faceless bureaucracies for a myriad of issues to hopefully get my life moving out of stagnancy and in a more positive direction.

To my commissioners, I apologize for the wait. I've just been listless and anxious; going nowhere fast, as it were. To those waiting on a story from me, I promise, I'm going to get to it soon. Hopefully starting today. But I've just been so drained, I haven't really touched any writing at all. This is precisely why I don't ask for money upfront; sometimes, the rest of life's shit gets in the way.

That's all for now, folks. Take care and God bless,
-Renard

So, I've got a quick update, folks!

2018 is starting out pretty busy for me; I've got a steady clip of commissions coming in and some projects waiting in the wings, but for a while, I'm sending out a warning that I'm going to be a bit slow. With the start of a new year, I decided it was time to think seriously about my career, as in, actually get a career. To that end, I have applied for certification to become a teacher. A lot of people have been asking me when I'd do something like this, so, there you go: now. But with that happening, I'm going to be slow for a while, especially as I have some personal projects planned that I'll talk about another time. I'm still accepting commissions and working on them, but please understand I'll be slowing down a bit!

To that end, to get through my large body of work, I've had to rely on some help from some friends. I've been close to burn-out, and while I do try to give him credit, I wanted to make a journal letting everyone know that, while I do write the vast majority of my own work, when things get rough, I usually count on one of my dearest friends,  nocturne for help. I just wanted to give him a little extra credit for all the help he's given me in getting these stories done as quickly, and as well-done, as you've come to expect. He's helped me edit (as has  connercoon) but also added his own scenes to particularly tough stories. While I'm working on getting a new job, I just wanted to send out a little thank you to the people who have helped me keep things afloat here on FA.

Take care everyone, and wish me luck,
-Renard

Hi, folks! One of my commissioners dropped out because of a personal emergency, so I have one more commission slot to fill. Note me if you're interested!

Hello, folks!

Now that the holidays are passed and I’ve recovered from a nasty bout of flu, I am once again open for commissions. I have two lingering slots from when I took a small break, but other than that, I am going to take as many as SIX commissions at a time, just to keep a decent clip of work going through. My prices are staying the same; $ 1 for every 100 words, or literally a penny for a word.

Things I WILL do: Muscle growth (male or female), weight gain (male or female), adventure, macro, non-fetish, transformation, and hyper (within consideration. I reserve the right to turn down any hyper story that goes too far for my tastes.)

Things I WILL NOT do: Gore, water sports, absolutely anything involving underage characters, basically, if it’s too much for a Game of Thrones episode, you’ll want to find someone else.

Thanks for your time and consideration!
-Renard

So, okay. I don't know why I'm doing this instead of, y'know, all the stuff I should be doing, but I've got a serious bone to pick with the people singing The Last Jedi's praises. Not the actual movie itself, mind you; I'm honestly split right down the middle about it. Some things in the movie I think are fantastic, others, I feel are just horrible. But I've had run-ins with one too many uber fans of this movie that seem to think criticizing it is paramount to heresy, and OBVIOUSLY whoever doesn't love this movie is sexist/racist/Nazi/Trump-voter/butthurt fan, etc. So I'm going to nitpick the fuck out of this movie because there are some things that really bug me. And a quick disclaimer; several people who love this movie are friends of mine, so if you're not treating people like shit just because they don't like the movie, then my ire is not directed at you.

ALSO BEAR IN MIND I'M SPEAKING FRANKLY ABOUT SPOILERS. THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING.

THE STORY

Okay, so, admittedly, I don't have too many complaints about the plot, meaning, the main sequence of events. In fact, everything from Rey and Kylo facing off against Snoke to the end I actually really, really love. It's about forty five minutes of some of the best fight scenes, visually amazing set pieces, and some wonderful moments between all the characters you love. Honestly, if they just showed that ending part, I would have been happy, I think that's worth the price of admission alone. It's just a damn shame it's loaded down with a lot of stupid that preceded it.

The Finn and Rose's subplot bears most of my ire. Not only is there a pointless character macguffin they NEVER ACTUALLY MEET, I can't help but feel that everything comes to a screeching halt so the director and writers can bitch and moan about rich people once they reach the casino, but more on that later. The subplot is kicked into gear only because Vice Admiral Holdo, the woman taking over after Leia is put into a coma, who's right up there with "let's invade Russia in the winter" strategy thinking, refuses to tell anyone her plan to actually escape. This is infuriating, because had she JUST TOLD SOMEONE, Poe wouldn't have felt like she's an incompetent coward (she is the former, not the latter) and would not have planned a mutiny or sent Finn and Rose on this pointless fucking plan, which doesn't even end up working. Holdo ends up bravely sacrificing herself, which would have meant a lot more had she not acted like a condescending bitch for her entire screen time.

But of course, that's the side plot. What about the main one? Rey and Luke actually work pretty well, and Rey's connection to Kylo is very intriguing. I actually think there's some great humor, especially from Luke, who has become the galaxy's greatest sass master. The joke where he fucks with Rey trying to literally reach out and feel the Force had me laughing hard. My one BIG bugbear with this plot is the conclusions they come to about the Force and the Jedi, and the revelations about how Kylo turned to the dark side. When Luke goes to destroy the Jedi texts but finds he can't bring himself to do it, fine. But then Yoda appears, and then HE destroys the Jedi texts with a bolt of lightning. Because if there's one thing the JEDI are known for, it's using the Force to throw out LIGHTNING. That's totally not related to any OTHER group of Force Users I can think of.

But more than that, Yoda giggles like an idiot as Luke watches the oldest legacy of his religion go up in smoke. This makes absolutely no sense. And don't get me wrong, I know what they're trying to say; that the spirit of the Jedi and its philosophies doesn't lie in old, musty texts, but in the hearts of those who carry on its traditions and teachings, like Rey. And that's fair enough, but no one should be HAPPY to see their sacred texts reduced to ash. This is the equivalent of the Pope burning the Dead Sea scrolls, and laughing while he does it. And what bugs me is that this could have been fixed so easily. Just let it be an accident of nature, or, hell, send in the First Order to burn them. THEN have Yoda appear to Luke, and tell him the old texts don't matter. Just, forgive me, as a student of history, I think it's awfully weird for a movie to show a literal, honest-to-god book burning portrayed in a POSITIVE light.

I also have so many problems with how they handled Luke, but I'll get to that later. The only other two problems I have is that Snoke getting killed was awfully anti-climactic, and Rey reveals that ALL THIS TIME, she knew that her parents were just two nobodies. What. After all that build-up, all that intrigue, you're going to tell us that NOT ONLY are Rey's parents just some drug-addicted burnouts, BUT THAT SHE KNEW THE WHOLE TIME?

And again, like the Jedi Text scene, I GET what they're doing. They're saying that greatness doesn't necessarily come from one's parents, that you don't need to be tied to prophecy or a family legacy to do great things. BUT. If that's the case, don't fucking tease us with all these questions and build-up to what is literally the most disappointing answer possible.

THE CHARACTERS

The dichotomy between Rey and Kylo is actually really great. I thought both were only so-so in FA, but here, I think they're really coming into their own. I still think Rey is a bit bland, but then, to be fair, so was Luke in A New Hope, and perhaps bland is more palpable than the spicy hot mess Anakin was in the prequels. I actually still like Finn, but I think he's criminally underused in this movie, wasted on a subplot that really wasn't necessary. Rose is mostly annoying. Her last line "don't fight the things you hate! Save the things you love!" is so damn hokey, it belongs in a Care Bear special. So does she, come to think of it, as she delivers her opinions and exposition as subtly as a jackhammer to the face.

Poe is a nice, cocky character, and his equivalent, General Hux, is so deliciously slimy and smarmy, I love any scene with them.

Holdo is just a nuisance. She's that snotty soccer mom that always demands to see the manager. But Leia is still great. Despite a rather... silly scene when she flies through the vacuum of space, I'm glad that Carrie Fisher went out on top. Her final scene between her and Luke was a wonderful way to cap off their arcs, and the joke "I know what you're going to say. I changed my hair," was, again, one of the funniest lines in the movie. Her passing the torch of leadership to Poe was also rather touching.

Also how fucking dare you waste your Brienne of Tarth. I wanted so much more of Captain Phasma, but I think she gets, what, three lines? Four, maybe? Gwendolyn Christie is such a great actor, and remember, I work in Disney World; Captain Phasma has her own PARADE in one of the parks, and they kill her off so quickly? Stupid.

Snoke was literally quoting Palpatine word for word in his last scenes. Like, for a movie that wanted to subvert expectations so much, you really had to steal from another Star Wars movie's script?

And Luke. Luke, Luke, Luke. What did they do to you? Mark Hamil himself was increasingly more and more uncomfortable with what they did to his character (and yes, I know he retracted it, but let's be honest, that's because Disney was leaning on him harder than Tarkin on Alderaan) and I totally get it. He does come around, and him playing the grumpy, Rocky-esque trainer is mostly acceptable, but the revelations about how he handled Kylo Ren's fall to the dark side is just so out of character. Here we have a man that never gave up on his father, the most feared, reviled war lord in galactic history, that never lost hope for him, but an angst-ridden teenage boy spooks him? No.

And what was up with that "I've only seen this strength one before, and it didn't scare me enough then" nonsense? You literally thought you were going to kill your nephew, Luke, I'd call that pretty damn scared. But more than that, again, they could have treated this in a million better ways. Luke Skywalker does not KILL children. The thought should never enter his mind, he should have never had that impulse to begin with. It is just not the type of person Luke is. What WOULD be in his character would be to lock him up. Isolate him. Treat him as if he were possessed by the devil, which he kind of was. This would be in character for Luke, but it would also still show his shortcomings, as well as be fairly traumatizing for Kylo. Think about it; Luke Skywalker has the entire future of the Jedi to think of, but he just can't bring himself to hurt his nephew, so he locks him away until he can solve this problem. But for Kylo, this would be desolating. Here's his uncle, the great hero, who told him he was special, now treating him like a wild animal, a monster, all because he's angry and confused.

But again, they do bring him around. Luke's final scenes between Kylo are really great. If that was the Luke I had gotten for the rest of the movie, I'd be a lot more forgiving.

TELL, DON'T SHOW

This is perhaps what angers me the most about the movie. As a writer, I know how important the Show, Don't Tell rule is to storytelling. There are very obviously some political messages the movie wants to get across, especially at the damned casino, but it's so heavy handed, it's straight up obnoxious. Yes, Rian Johnson, rich people do suck, especially those damned arms dealers. Would you maybe like to, I don't know, SHOW us how evil they are? Rose has this big long speech about how evil and rotten these rich assholes are, but all we see is the kangaroo-horse things' trainer being abusive to the animals and his stable boys. And he's the only one that DOESN'T get his comeuppance. All we see of these eeevil 1%ers is a bunch of people in fancy clothes, sipping champagne and tittering like a bunch of British aristocrats. Oh, we're told they're bad, but we're never SHOWN it. All we're doing is looking at a bunch of people enjoying their vacation at a casino. Could we, perhaps, maybe SEE them do something bad? Like have these rich people laugh at the animal abuse, or maybe, if they are arms dealers, COULD WE SEE AN ARMS DEAL HAPPEN? If these people are all bankrolling the First Order, how come we never SEE any First Order people around? One shot of a red armband, a sly, under-the-table handshake, something. This would also give the subplot some fucking relevance, because if we could actually see how the First Order is slowly tightening its grip on the galaxy, that would be so much more powerful.

CONCLUSION

I don't think Last Jedi is a bad movie. But I also don't think it's this great, revelatory movie others seem to think it is. It has some amazing stuff, and what saddens me the most is that it COULD have been great, if they had just, I don't know, given more time to do one or two more rewrites and not been tied to a bi-annual schedule foisted upon them by their corporate masters. Honestly, it feels like two movies. When its allowed to be grand and artistic, it's really a sight to behold. But there are other scenes that just wreak of corporate mandates and producer notes. If you're even a passing fan of Star Wars, I would actually still recommend seeing it. The stuff that's good is really good, but just brace yourself for a lot of stupid shit to accompany it.

And that's all. If I get a bit of a conversation going, I might even consider giving my thoughts on other movies. Take care everyone, and God bless,
-Renard

Hello everyone, and Merry Christmas!

It's been a month since my last journal; sorry about that. I've been out of town on a Christmas vacation to Charelston, SC, and before that, I wrote (and published!) a book. But more on that later- I'm sorry I've not been terribly active, and I hope you all can understand why. Going into the New Year, I want to hit the ground running when it comes to my writing, and get stories out to you folks quick as I can! But more than anything, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays; thank you for all the support in 2017, and let's just knuckle under and try to make 2018 a good one! God knows we need it.

Take care and God bless,
-Renard

Hey, folks!

Brock and I were talking, and, to tolerate survive celebrate Black Friday, we've cut down the price for our illustrated story pack from $15 to $10! This sale will start now, and run to Cyber Monday, so if you want to take advantage and get your hands on some stellar writing and fantastic pictures of weight gain and muscle growth through history, check out the link HERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/25490560/

Hey, everyone!

So, I know I’ve been pushing a few projects of mine lately, most notably my Patreon and my new Illustrated Story Pack. I don’t want to come off as greedy or pushy, I’m just trying to make a living through my writing. But still, working on this stuff all the time does give some moments for introspection. I would really like some feedback on how I’m doing; if you think my writing’s still improving, if you like my projects, and, hey, if you are a patron or you bought the story pack, please, tell me what you think! I’d love to do more stuff like this, but first I want to make certain it’s something all of you would like to see.

So, even if you have constructive criticism about things you don’t like, please, let me know! I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks for your time folks.
Take care and God bless,
-Renard

Hey, folks!

So, I'm reaching the tale end of my commission list, and I've got another itch. So, if anyone would like a fatfur or weight gain story I'll bump off 10% for a discount! Of course, if you'd like anything else, I'm still open for anything!

Also, about my commissions, there will be a temporary slowdown. I can handle the workload just fine, or I wouldn't be asking for more, obviously, but, I have a few big projects in the works! I'm getting an Art & Story Pack off the ground and, and. I have my first novel getting off the ground. The publication date will be December 18th, but I'll be opening soon for pre-orders! I don't have any links right now, but as soon as it's set up, I'll be sure to let you all know!

Thanks and take care,
-Renard

Hey! So, I wanted to try something new.

I don't have a tumblr or a twitter, but AMA's always interested me. So, I wanted to see if I could give it a shot here. If you have any questions for Renard, my cheshire Theo, or my tigrat Victor ask away! Should be fun.

Thanks in advance,
-Renard

Hello, all!

Since the last journal met with decent success and I'm nearing the end of my commission list, I thought I'd try offering a discount again for another itch I want to scratch: female muscle growth. So, just like last time, I'm going to offer a 10% discount for any commission involving female muscle growth. I like large ladies, too, and I want to branch out a little more. Of course, I remain open for any other commissions as well.

Thanks and take care,
-Renard

Hey folks, just a little update- I've already breezed through a few commissions, so, I want to take on one more. Only, almost all my planned stories are muscle-based. I'd like to shake things up to make sure this doesn't get monotonous, and because I'm specifically asking for fat fur and weight gain stories only I'm offering a discount of 10% off my usual price. So, if you want something big and soft, please, drop me a note!

Thanks and take care,
-Renard

Hello, all!

I'm re-opening for commissions, but, just to make sure I don't get too overwhelmed, I'm limiting it to four story slots. If you've pledged $5 or more on my Patreon, remember, you get a discount for commissions! But also, for anyone new that's looking for a story, a quick run-down:

*My prices are $1 for 100 words, or one cent a word.
*My limit is 5000 words for one commission- if you want more, I'll need to chop it up into a series.
*I cover weight gain, muscle growth, fantasy, adventure, and even dip my toe in a few other fetishes, but I generally keep things at the PG13 level. If I really like the idea, I'll consider going for outright porn, but that's a case-by-case basis.

If you're interested, please, shoot me a note!
Thanks and take care,
-Renard

Just to put everyone's mind at ease, your favorite lolf will be out of state for Irma, on a pre-planned vacation in Washington DC. I had a few people ask, so I wanted to reassure everyone. I live inland, and it looks like we'll miss the worst of it. For anyone else in Florida or Georgia, please, stay safe.

Take care and God bless,
-Renard

Hey, folks!

Just a little heads up that the YCH story is going to be a bit behind as we take care of some edits for the winner. I'll have it up in the next few days, and the next round after that not long after. Thank you for your patience!

Take care,
-Renard

Hello, folks!

This is just going to be a quick plug for my Patreon. I've gotten some generous patrons already, and now I'm doing my first story poll, with a choice of either a weight gain or muscle growth story. There's only two choices for this month, as I wanted to start off simple for my first try. But, as I get the hang of it and get a few more patrons to make the voting interesting, I'll be adding more choices. Every month, I'll run a poll for all patrons to vote for a story idea, and for anyone that pledges $5 or more, I'll be holding a monthly raffle starting next week! I'm holding the poll all week, so if you'd like to support my writing, please check out my patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/bigstories

Also, a quick thank you to  cynical_gage for winning the first YCH Auction for Theo's Anthology! I'll have a separate journal for that project later, but I'll let you guys know now that all patrons will receive that project for free as I write up all twelve stories.

Thanks for your time and take care,
-Renard

Hello all!

I'm so sorry it's taken so long to update this journal. A lot has happened as of late; namely, it started in late June when I had a pretty bad day: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme.....44/unknown.png

My car was totaled, and I was out of commission for a bit; my foot was almost broken, and my arm was pretty torn up. That's all in the past now, and my injuries have healed- I'm even on the fast track to getting a new car. But, like all things, that involves money. I've finished my commission queue, and I'm staying closed for the time being- I'll open up again sooner or later, but see, I want to try something new, first.

https://www.patreon.com/bigstories

I sold out and I got a Patreon! Ta-da!

It's a bit barebones at the moment, because I'm very new at this sort of thing, but, if you like what you see and I get a good response, I'll have the first poll up by the beginning of August. I have at least one project in the works; an anthology series of muscle growth and weight gain involving my Cheshire, Theo, so, if you want to get on the ground floor of that, I'll be auctioning (or raffling, I haven't quite decided yet) off parts of the anthology, with your choice of growth- more info and details on that to come!

Thank you for your time, everyone!

Take care and God bless,
-Renard

So, just wanted to remove the previous journal. I'm feeling better, just... still trying to find the drive to slice through my commission queue, hah.

Anyways, that's all for now folks; thank you for the kind words during a dark period, I really do appreciate it!

Take care and God bless,
-Renard

So, I've been staring at my commissions list, and I realize how little a dent I've put in on it. This is a bit galling, as, well, I have plenty of free time at first glance, and I need the money. I often look back on a day and wonder where the time's gone.

Just a heads up, this is going to get a little heavy for my journals. I'm not fishing for sympathy, but I feel like writing out my problems will help.

The short version is thus: I'm one part crippling loneliness, and one part excessive ennui. I live in Orlando, and despite having arguably the most escapist entertainment in the world, it can be a very lonely place. Everything's so spread out and we lack a proper mass transit system, so if you're not going to a specific place with people you know, it's not really worth your time. My problem is that all my friends are gone. Some of them moved away, some of them I've never met face to face, others have simply fallen out of contact, and some, I realize now, were never really my friends to begin with, their affections for me tainted by more cynical purposes that only came to light recently.

That's not to say I don't have special people in my life. I have some very dear friends that I talk with almost every day, but... they're all scattered to the four winds, one two states away, the other on the opposite end of the country, etc. It's gratifying to feel the sense of connection despite the miles, but eventually, you realize that it's all akin to Plato's allegory of the cave- I'm staring at shadows on a wall. Shadows of very real things, real people, that I care about deeply... but at the end of the day, I'm still stuck in a dark room, staring at a screen or yelling into a little rectangle made by Apple.

And to my close friends, and you know who you are, please don't misunderstand this as you doing something wrong, or, me not being grateful for your friendship. I -love- you guys. You've been very, very good to me, but... you don't know how much I'd like to hug you in person, treat you to a meal, or show you all my favorite places in Disney World. It can't be helped, by either party. But that seems to be the running theme.

I actually met a girl. A beautiful girl. She's smart, adventurous, kind, and we seem to sync on such a level, I can't imagine where she's been all my life. We share common interests, have a similar sense of humor, and we never seem to run out of things to talk about. We've finally committed ourselves to dating, but every time we put a plan into motion, the cosmos align, only to literally rain on our parade. So far, three out of four dates were cancelled, and the fourth one fell through halfway into it because her mad roommate decided to have a mental breakdown, and she had to leave lest he hurt himself. That was a week ago, and I haven't seen her since.

Oh, and she doesn't know I'm furry yet. But that's a bridge we cross when we get to it.

Another part of my listlessness lies in the disappointments of my nearly non-existent career. Right now, I'm working one night a week. And I hate it. The reasons for this are too convoluted to list, but to suffice to say, a year later, and the show I was hired to work at Disney is still not firing at all cylinders. Oh, the show's finally running alright, but they're only running it on select nights a week. Because Disney is fueled by magic, and magic is not made up of common fucking sense.

Perhaps the biggest blow to my gut is the realization that... virtually no one is going to want to publish my novel. Not because I don't believe in my writing talent; it's one of few things I still take pride in. But because of what it is; a rolling, gigantic fantasy epic. No one wants to publish a fantasy novel almost as long as Game of Thrones from an unknown talent. So. That's so many years of my life leading up to a disappointing end. I fought my giant, only to find out that there's ten more behind him, each one harder to win over than the last.

So... in some small way, if you've read this far, you'll understand why I've been so slow. I've lost a good chunk of my drive. But, this is temporary, for this too, shall pass. I've not given up on my novel, I'm just... preparing for a long haul and looking at new ideas. I've not given up on my girl, I just need to make contingency plans, and smack that roommate of hers when I meet him. I'm down, but I'm not out, yet. And with a firm reliance on God and a metric fuckton of allergy medicine to get me through a truly heinous allergy season, I'll soldier on. To my commissioners, thank you very much for your patience. I'm sorry if I've disappointed, but I hope to have at least a few finished by the end of next week.

Take care and God bless,
-Renard

The Premise

Welcome Valued Customer! You probably found us from a friend of a friend of a friend’s great uncle Tony. Yeah, that guy, you know the one.

The Real Story

So, what exactly is SoMysterious.com? It’s only the latest and greatest Adult Transformation Anthology Project from the mind of Mickey Bamboo!

The premise, as the about page shown above explains, deals with the idea of what if that clichéd little shop that sells those oh so mysterious cursed items was absolutely for real? What if your average, mediocre belt made you gain weight every time you loosened it? Or after buying that specialty barbell for your friend, it turned him into a beefy hairy caveman?

Well, inside you’ll find Eight Tales of transformation from muscle growth, to weight gain, from beauty to beast. You’ll find a little bit of everything in here!

Some Highlights include:

Three Heads Are Better Than One- When a deeply repressed man is given a special item by his psychologist, he finally gets in touch with the voices inside. (Anthro and Muscle Growth)

Smoked Pork- A friend offers his “bro” a special pipe to get them closer. You certainly won’t be Boared. (Anthro)

A Waist Is a Terrible Thing to Mind- A fantasy is finally made reality when two lovers find the perfect item. But will one of them take their growing love too far? (Weight Gain)

Hi, folks!

I'm sorry I've been a little quiet again. I fell out of the groove of writing on a daily basis for a bit, due to some family issues and some health-related incidents. I'm fine, for the most part, just need some long overdue work on my teeth, which have been causing me no small amount of pain, which makes it difficult to concentrate. But, I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I'm ready to get back to writing. Sorry again for the delay, folks!


Take care and God bless,
-Renard

As in, it's time for me to post stories. I don't have anything terribly interesting to share, just that I'm ready to get some commissions rolling out like I wasn't a complete piece of shit for not getting any writing done for over a month after my novel :D

So, if you don't see your name on my list yet, that's because:

A- You've commissioned a series from me that I'm cycling through
B- We haven't quite finalized details just yet on what you want
C- I'm a piece of shit and honestly forgot
D- All of the Above

Also! If you want a commission, please let me know. I wanna keep busy, because I need money to do things like eat and not freeze to death in the harsh and unforgiving Florida winter. I've even needed to wear long sleeve shirts just to get by. );

But, just a quick overview of my policies:

Commission Rules

1 I have a baseline price of $5 for every 500 words, or just a penny a word. I want to be more accurate with my pricing, but I'll still round up or down to the nearest dollar.

2 If you want a big story, please, give it to me! I love getting big story ideas, but, because of the fact that I actually get a lot of series commissions, I'll only write 5,000 words at a time. After that, I'll cycle through other commissions to be fair to everyone, and then move on to the next part. This makes more people happy, helps me be more productive, and prevents story submissions from being, much like parts of my manly anatomy, imposingly large.

3 Repeat commissioners will get discounts. I actually get a lot of repeat commissioners, and I love you guys for it! I realized that you all deserve a token of my appreciation, so, while it's a case by case basis until I figure out a way to make it meaningful without hurting my wallet, I do want to let you all know how much I appreciate your business.

4 Just a quick run down of what I'm known for:
-Muscle Growth
-Weight Gain
-Fantasy/Sci-fi
-Epic stories

Things I'm willing to do on a case-by-case basis:
-Macro/Micro
-Hyper
-Sexy times
-Vore

And things I'm just not comfortable writing:
-Extreme gore
-Fetish story involving underage characters
-Watersports/scat

That should do it! Thank you all for your patience, and I hope to keep you entertained throughout 2017!

Take care and God bless,
-Renard
