Hey everyone, it’s been awhile. Over 2 years ago now, I ordered a fullsuit commission from someone and never got it as they have simply stopped replying over 8 months ago despite sending me pictures of the suit nearly finished. Now, I’m just at the point where I’m just going to have to bite the bullet and try to order just the most important parts that are at least somewhat affordable compared to everything else so I can at least have something. I already have ordered paws from someone and I plan to have a friend make me some feet paws after a few months, so now I’m just looking for a cheap but decent quality tail commission. It’s definitely going to be hard to find someone given her two tails and the fact I can’t afford to spend too much on this now, especially given the small possibility of me eventually receiving the suit I paid for in the far future, but I just thought I should post this just in case anyone is open. Thanks

It’s been awhile everyone, and I’m sorry for my hiatus. I still don’t have many plans for my future here of FA, but I wanted to ask if anyone knows someone who can do some affordable art/request as I want to get art of me and my gf together to surprise her, yet can’t afford to spend very much in this moment. Please let me know if you are able, or know someone who can! Thank you!

Hey everyone. This is more of a personal thing, but there’s been something I’ve been deeply frustrated over.

Over a year ago now, I ordered a full fursuit of Sakura. The maker has shown me updates on the progress on the suit, and I’ve seen everything but the head of it finished, so I’m pretty sure they haven’t scammed me. However, they haven’t seen nor replied to any of my messages since November last year, with them saying the head would be finished soon. There was another long period of no communication before this, but not nearly as long as this current one. They are a small maker but this lack of communication is honestly ridiculous given the money I am spending on it, and I can’t help but worry something bad has happened to them or if I’ve been scammed out of my money. The fact this has happened before shows it’s likely that they’ll respond some day, but it’s honestly very unprofessional on their part. And if I wanted to charge back, It’s been too long since I payed them to get my money back, but even if I could, I don’t know if it’s right to do given they’ve shown that they’ve worked on it.

Do I just wait and hope they respond someday? And even then, I don’t know if I can fully trust them them with the second half of the payment for them to ship it. I just wish I could do more in this situation…

Hey everyone, I’m sorry to say the big project I mentioned in my last post likely isn’t going to see the light of day. I don’t know when I’ll have another project for this site anytime soon, nor do I think my path of writing is going to work out for me in the end, as sad as it makes me.

I’ll still stick around here but I’ll have to consider if the massive effort I put into my writing projects is even worth it, especially given I don’t get much from it besides pride, compliments, and something to spend my time on

I know I don’t have many people who will read this, but for those who do, just know I’m eternally thankful for your support of my work. I’ll update you all as my life goes on, but for now, this might be the end of my work for quite some time. For now, I hope you all enjoy the stories I’ve already wrote.

Thank you all

Sincerely,
Sakura

Hello everyone. I wanted to apologize for not posting for some time now. Too my dismay. i’ve been having to focus more on my success in college rather than my writing. I can’t promise any new projects anytime soon, but if things go well, I’ll hopefully be back with something quite big (And familiar) that a lot of you will enjoy. I’ll try to post updates on its progress if things work out, but there’s still a chance it won’t fall through so please keep that in mind.

I truly thank you all for the support you have given me and for sticking with me through this period.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and get plenty of gifts!

Well, it’s my birthday today. Not really expecting anything from it, but I hope you all have a great day.

Hey, just wanted to make a quick journal informing you all of my upcoming birthday on the 21st!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I’m honestly quite sad seeing the reception of Worlds Apart.

I worked months on the story and to see such poor engagement is honestly quite heartbreaking. I know I’m a small creator, but I would at least hope for engagement similar to my past stories.

I guess there isn’t really anything I can do to change it. I just hope I get big enough for my work to actually be seen someday…

Thank you all for sticking with me. I truly appreciate you all.

I know I’m probably too small of a creator for all of this, but I see everyone else doing it so I thought I might as well.

My birthday is on the 21st

I would love any art of my bab Sakura, and possibly even a proper kidfur ref of her.

I don’t really have a wishlist at the moment, but if your able to give I would greatly appreciate any donations on my Ko-Fi as well.

I hope you all stay cozy and have happy holidays!

Hello everyone! Work on Worlds Apart is finally starting to wrap up. The first 3 chapters will be released as soon as I get a cover and the following chapters will be released periodically.

I really hope you all enjoy the story! It’s by far the hardest work I’ve put into anything!

I honestly don’t know what to do with my writing since I’m pretty much done with my latest story. Would anyone be interested in a request or anything? I don’t really know what to write and I would be happy to give back a little.

Please note, if I accept a request, I do not guarantee it will ever be completed. I will try my best with them but writing for other people may be for me so please don’t get sad if I cancel it.

Rules

Either comment on this journal or dm me details (there is no garentee you will get picked)

Please give me time to complete it if I decide to go on with your request. I tend to write quite slowly.

You must have a clear idea of what you want. A general plotline and world/character details is heavily recommended

Lastly, if you complain about not getting picked, or complain to me about me canceling the requests, I will likely block you. This is something I am doing for free while expecting nothing in return. I want to have complete control over this because I often struggle with stress, so I reserve the right to stop these requests for any reason at any time. If you are not ok with that potential, please don’t request anything for both of our sakes.

I’m sincerely sorry if I sound a bit rude in this post. I just want to be absolutely clear this is something experimental I’m doing and I may abandon this idea at any time. I would much rather be upfront about this rather than have anyone upset about it later on.

Thank you.

Honestly, thank you so much everyone for watching me! I know it’s still a small step but I feel like it’s still something worth celebrating!

I might try to do requests as a way of celebrating after “worlds apart” is done. Keyword in “might” but we shall see!

Again, thank you all for your support and for enjoying my work.

So my latest story is finally done! (At least the writing part). It’s currently sitting around 29k or so words and now, all that’s left is to polish it and I’m going to try my best to make this story truly shine with the help of my editor (the amazing  Tsuyoshi)

This is by far the most effort I’ve put into well… anything really. All I hope is that it all pays off.

The planned release schedule is 1 chapter a week with 7 chapters with my patrons getting early access to the whole thing the instant chapter 1 is released.

As fir release date, it *might* come out this month but I ultimately want to take my time to polish this to the extreme since I think I really have something special here.

Thank you all for your support and I hope you all look forward to reading it!

Please be honest, I need to know if this is something I should continue to pursue as I feel like I’ve only been getting worse the harder I try to make something I’m happy with. I feel like my writing speed and quality has been slowly diminishing rather than improving after my first story and I’m starting to ask myself if I should even pursue this passion of mine.

I’m in a world where I need to be thinking of my livelihood. I only have so much time left until I’m forced into the world to survive for myself. If my writing never takes off, then I’ll be completely screwed, having spent so much time and effort into a fruitless passion. I don’t have the luxury of being able to do this “just for fun” anymore... Now I have that dagger of responsibility just floating above my head and it’s only a matter of time before it falls down on me. I NEED to be improving or else what’s the point? I’m clearly not good enough as is and I’m so far from being good it seems like I’ll never get there. I’m at the point where I can’t just go after a passion for the passions sake. I need to be thinking of my future and how it will help me get to a state where I can survive. The pressure is really getting to me and I’m gradually growing more anxious and stressed from not seeing any growth, let alone never feeling like I’m writing enough…

What do I do? Do I keep trying to go after this passion while I still can or just give in and chose a safer, albeit less happy route in life? I need to decide before the options are closed off for good…

Hey everyone l just wanted to give a life update on everything.

So my depression has been spiking again which isn’t very fun but I’m hanging in there. I ended up dropping out of college due to the sheer amount of stress and thoughts of self harm.

I am now going to pursue my writing full time in hopes of making it a job and improve my skills. There’s no guarantee I’ll get anywhere with it but I have hopes it could eventually work out.

I am resuming work on my latest story with the help of an editor (the wonderful  Tsuyoshi please give them a follow) this time so expect it to be my most polished work yet.

I will be releasing it one chapter a week once finished with blooming patrons getting access to the whole thing as soon as chapter 1 is released(slated to be 6-7 chapters)

Anyway, thanks for listening to my rambling and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

So I have started college and have gradually lost most of my motivation to write. Depression has also been returning alongside that so my mental state isn’t the greatest.

For now, I am likely going to be putting my latest story, worlds apart, on an hiatus until I get better. If enough people want it, I can release the first few chapters on here if you are really anticipating my work but just know that if I do, it likely won’t have an ending for quite some time and I don’t like leaving things unfinished.

I just wish I wasn’t forced into something I don’t desire to do but there isn’t much I can do other than just accepting it and moving on, even if my mental health is bound to suffer.

I know in the end, I’ll be ok. I always have been. I just wanted to make this update so people know what’s going on and why there hasn’t been any story updates.

Thank you all for sticking with me and supporting me.

I want to try and upload more. Would you guys rather have just art or art with a little short story with it? I don’t know how high quality the short story part will even be so would it just be best if I just cut that part entirely? Please let me know.

Thanks!

I just wanted to update everyone on what’s happening in my life.

So I’m being forced into college, with it starting on the 24th. Once it starts, I will simply be unable to write at the same pace I have been, do expect much less than my already infrequent uploads. I really want to try and upload more, but my stories take so much time to do so I don’t know if I’ll ever build an audience at this rate. Anyways, I just thought you guys should know why this story likely won’t be coming out until a month or even two. I haven’t been able to get as much done as I have hoped.


And if you haven’t read my last journal, I opened up a Patreon and Ko-Fi recently. If you want to support me, you can do so on either of these sites!

Should I really open up donations? I worry that I’ll feel pressure to work more and to be better at what I do once I receive money for all of this. A lot of the enjoyment that I get from this is that I have control over what I do, but I worry that once money gets involved, it will start to feel more and more like a job and at that point, would it even still be enjoyable? I want to make this hobby something more but I just can’t stop worrying about all of these things. I really want to get paid for my work but is it even worth the money in its current state? I just got to ask myself these questions because I don’t want to regret doing any of this.

On another note, I’m so done with college. I’m absolutely sick of being forced into classes against my will and for now, just desire to pursue my writing more for now and even my therapist believes I should do the same. I am actually moving forward in my life for once with this writing. I have finally found something that can make me some money while I can still be happy. If I end up pursuing my writing more like this, then why would I even need a degree? Especially one I have absolutely no desire to have. I simply am unable to handle the stress college puts on me and never want to take another class, ever. I just hope I can somehow convince my dad to let me pursue what I want to…

Anyways, sorry for my rambling. Let me know what you should think I should do in the comments.

Thanks for reading.

I have started production of my fourth story, Worlds Apart. This story will feature a new broken soul turning into a kitsune named Miyu. This story also talks place in the same universe of “In Between” on Edith. I hope you all look forward to it within the coming month or possibly more.

I will be working slower than usual for this story to not burn myself out and to ensure it is my best story yet! In the meanwhile, expect the donation sites to be up within the coming days.

If anyone would like to give feedback as I write it, please let me know in the comments below! Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks!

I’ve been rather exhausted since releasing my latest story. I will be taking a week or two long break from writing then will start on my new story. I will (hopefully) be setting up a ko-fi and possibly a patreon once I return from break.

Another reason for the break is because my depression has been weighing me down a lot. It’s been getting a little worse lately and it hasn’t been fun. I have been thinking a lot about perusing writing as a actual career path for me but I’m still so conflicted on how exactly that would turn out. Would it possibly be viable for me to make it making stories on here once I get a big audience? I know I have a small audience right now but the fact some of you want to donate makes me hopefully that my future won’t be as miserable as I originally thought. I just hope that this all works out some way or another. I have lots of dreams for what I want my life to be but the likelihood of most of them coming true is very low so I’m just trying to make the best compromise I can.

Anyway, thanks for reading!

I just wanted to make a quick journal to gauge interest now that I released my third story.

Writing these stories has been a lot of hard work and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in the possibly of a story commission or even donating to support me. If you are, please leave a comment on this journal.

I work really hard on my stories and I hope someday I can turn this hobby into something that can keep me afloat in life.

Thanks for reading!

I am tidying up the sequel to “The Right Medicine” and doing the final grammar check. It will release within a few days so please look forward to it! I worked very hard on it and I hope it will show in the story.
