I complain and use the thoughts and opinions of people pushing AI as the future, as the right thing to do, as a way of becoming better and that unless you're charging a decent amount for comissions this isn't a 'threat to you'.

I do this elsewhere and for some reason, they tend to flip through other galleries to see if they can find me there and leave complaints about "No you're wrong."

I know this is petty thing to make a journal about since I haven't been active HERE much(I'm writing elsewhere and less TF stuff), BUT if you're one of those people that has no problem with AI art as a threat or anything; well, don't complain if someone feeds your gallery into a program.

I'm not dead I've just been... busy. With a lot of things. Pandemic has left me concerned about other things but I'm slowly getting back into the saddle that IS writing. Stories will be slower to come but are coming. I plan on continuing the Ink Infusion idea and I actually have a couple ideas planned out. So look forward to that.

But that's also about the only "preview" I can give. I have too many things struggling for ideas but I'd like to try and continue to provide for the few fans I have actually gained. So I want to say those who have been waiting for something from me, I'm sorry, and hope to have something for you guys in a week or two.

Stay safe everyone.

Been awhile since I've done one of these. But with the world scrambling for TB, stores closing(including my own), people panicking, and the insanity that's just been going on, can you blame me? So some fast updates;

1) I'm safe and sound. Been stocked up and taking it easy, but my folks have needed my help(mom and dad are in the 'risk' age so I try to do their shopping and errands for them).

2) I've been distracted from writing due to the quarantine. Yes I have plenty of time to write but with the panic over the virus and the lethargicness of being home all the time, along with trying to shore up my own finances, I've been trying to keep myself sane and busy in other ways. I like writing but not to the point I find it soothing(Cough, Stardew Valley took my time, too cheap for Animal Crossing)

2b) No this isn't a cry for donations. Just that I've had to look for a new part time gig that's at the same time hopefully safe. I understand with how things are, money is tight for everyone so I'm not gonna ask for hand outs unless I absolutely need it and I don't right now.

3) I've actually gotten some stress about trying to finish stories I've put up here so I'm considering not listing what I'm working on. Or more vague. I feel like I've failed people if I don't finish what I said I would do. Thoughts about this?

That said, I will say that in April, I'm looking to do at least 2 more stories. Related to Bunnies because Easter. So look forward to that.

And keep safe every body. This is a crazy time but hopefully nothing else will happen this year. Kinda hard for something else to happen when everyone is locked away but hey, better safe than sorry. See you next Journal.

Honest question to those that see this; what format do you like?

I've been bouncing around this site for some time and have seen stories written in submission discription, others as .txt so you can read it without downloading. Still others are PDFs.

What do people prefer? Should I change the format type or just leave it as word docs?

Whelp, I didn't notice it at first but people couldn't get to my Ko-Fi page from the link. Including myself.

This lead me to check all my contacts to find that most of them didn't work other than the home page. Which is something I might update later this week. So all that is fixed right now.

I finally caved and made a Ko-Fi. You can find it on the main profile.

I'm a tad worried as Ko-Fi has cracked down on their Mature/NSFW stuff before but I'll take the risk. Nothing will be posted there though, it's just for a tip jar right now to show your support for my mad writtings.

Anything is appreciated. And the Caffeine will hopefully let me get more stories out to you.

I'm considering opening up commissions but at the same time I'm unsure.

Getting paid to mess with IP's is a tad weird, and I'd rather not get into trouble if possible. Don't want to rock the boat and I've already taken Diseny and WB characters. The house of Mouse could very well come curb stomp me.

I also you, watchers and other content creators; how do you feel about making money off already made IPs?

Infusion Inks seems to be pretty popular. And I have a few more ideas slated for it. To add to it and stand out, I've tossed together a quick icon for that story series. Not much but I like it.

Still, Infusion isn't the only thing I want to be known for even if it is popular. So here's a sneak peak of some up coming stories.

Change of Wardrobe - Cream hosts a slumber party, only for Blaze and Amy to send her down a new path...., a path locked onto her mother.

Mimic Materia Madness - To celebrate FF7 remake demo here's a story for it. A grinding session with Tifa and Red XIII ends up with a hot and wild ending, due to some glitched Mimic materia.

New Age Metal - A Digimon story that's been floating in my head for some time and with the realease of a movie later this month, now's a good time to sit down and write it.

Final bit of info is I'm looking into how to open Commissions for people. Paypal is the easy solution to this but they tend to frown on smut/lewds. I may still go with it due to how everyone seems to use it anyway. I'm also looking into opening some form of support/tipping as well. So stay tuned.

I dunno how people view stuff like this but I've decided to make a Curious Cat page.

So what is it? Well as I understand it, it's a place where you can ask me questions, without an account. I don't get the appeal too much but anything to help try to connect with those that like my work(Within reason, I'm not starting a Discord for you guys, I like you all but not that much).

Have a question about how I write? My favorite Color? What media I'm consuming when it's not smut to get tips? Well here's a spot to poke me about it if you want to. Mind you, deeply personal questions are out.

Just a quick pic yoinked from the net. Seems to be a car sticker. I plan on making or commissioning my own later down the line especially if I start taking commissions but the days of no icon are over for me.

Also I'm going to TRY to do updates like this once or twice a month. For the next seat of Stories I'm looking to write up...

Another Infusion Inks story(based off Mankor's work and he gave me the okay to do so)

Another Change of Wardrobe - Targeting Cream or Blaze. Maybe Sticks if I'm feeling funny.

An Undertale story with Toriel and Ice Wolf. I had that slated last journal but it's gone through a couple redos/rewrites/balled up and tossed in the trash.

And speaking of wolves perhaps a 'Were' story set in a world where people turn into giant monkeys. Why not wolves or tigers instead? There's other ideas I have in my skull right now but some of those are pure human on human. Well maybe not pure(COUGH, Majin COUGH COUGH) but I don't think they'll fit the nature of FA. Those stories can be read over on AO3 or Hentai Foundry.

Look forward to it later this month or next. Getting a good pace is something I have to practice with.

I'm weird in the sense that I start writing several ideas at once as they come in and go back to finish them in kinda a cycling format. This probably isn't a good way to write so perhaps anyone that stops by can help.

I'm gonna leave a few ideas I'm currently working on. They'll all be finished(Hopefully) but if anyone wants, comment below to say which one you'd like to see first. Perhaps by having someone else hold me to a story I can get them done faster.

Wardrobe Change - Mechanic to Knockout: Sonic work
Following the idea that is Amy becomes Rouge-ish, the bat thief decides to add another member to the team, Tails.

Large Promotion: Zootopia
After a run in with some criminals pushing a new drug on the streets, Judy Hopps is feeling a bit raunchy and a run in with Chief Bogo ends with her 'advancement' up the ranks.

Wolf Takes Queen: Undertale
Toriel invites Ice Wolf over to help her around the house and ends with her having to deal with a different kind of monster.

Again I'll probably do them all but if I get some suggestions on which one, I'll probably shift focus. I might try to do something like this at the start of each month so look forward to that.

Yeah Hmmm, not sure what to put here.

For now maybe just a "Hello FA". To anyone that stumbles across this, I'm just mainly here to post the dumb stories that come across my head. Usually inspired by something I see here. Hope those that stumble across me like the work I do, as rarely as I put it up.
