A long over-due explaination
Posted 7 years agoHey there, Sig' here. So...for anyone who even remembers this profile and what it was meant for, you may be interested in what happened in the...year of my absence here.
Basically, for fear of sounding vague, a lot of stuff happened in life that drew my attention more than FA could exist alongside. Should I have mentioned this sooner? Absolutely, and I feel guilty for having been quiet so long.
To summarise, a change in my personal lifestyle alongside several emotionally draining moments sapped my motivation dry. I never intended for that to happen, but life can be quite fickle, can't it.
What does this mean for me now, going forward? Well, I'm gonna need to tone back the request-taking to just a single case. I realise that's unfair to those that have left requests here already, but honestly, I cannot commit to old requests at this point. It's not like any monetary investment was made for them. Just...abject lack of information? I don't even know.
I'll change my profile bio to better compliment the new state my FA life has entered, so as not to mislead anyone.
As for making a current request now? Well...if the goal is to get me motivated to write about it, I really need the idea to wow me. So, you can leave requests in notes, and I'll pick one at random after...I dunno, whenever I get more than one to choose from. I may or may not announce whose request I'm taking, depending on how I feel about it.
I feel like I'm going all over the place now, so I'm just gonna cut this journal here. Long story short, I hope anyone I disappointed can forgive me as I attempt to move on. Thank you all and have a good day.

The Laziness Strikes Back
Posted 8 years agoUgh, I cannot seem to get my writing mindset going again. Laziness is the only real factor, I still love the idea of it, and the thought of writing fantasy stories of the aquatic kind is never a bad thought to have. Heck, I've only one request left on the list as well as one personal story for a friend, yet I can't seem to finish it up. I guess the point of this is to let those that only contact me here that I'm still here. And if anyone I don't already chat to wants to talk to me, I would always appreciate the company! Anyways, hope everyone's having a fine day.
Explainations
Posted 8 years agoWell...not gonna lie, laziness and games has been eating up my will to write, so much so that the request work will be paused temporarily.
However, I -am- working on something in the meantime. Some of you know what it is, but if you don't, all will be made clear at some point.
Thank you for your continued patience and kindness.

Let's start this up again, shall we?
Posted 8 years agoWell, it's been a while, and my writing motivation is coming back in spades, so the weekly request uploads will resume starting this Sunday. Also...I've been entertaining several personal stories I'd like to write about, which I'll do in my down time between requests all the other life stuff. Thank you all for the patience and kindness you've shown me here and I hope you continue to enjoy my work, past, present and future!
Status Update
Posted 8 years agoWell, things had to take a bit of a bad turn at some point.
With my computer acting up and the resulting infuriating emotions causing my motivation to write stores to plummet, I'm going to be taking a small break from writing until my computer gets fixed.
At least a week is expected to be the length of time needed, so you probably won't see a story for the next two weeks, being today and next week. So hopefully you won't lose interest in this novice while he deals with this.
I'll also use this as a belated and unoriginal thank you for all the watches, favourites and comments. I hardly ever expected to make stuff people would like, and hopefully once I'm back proper I can continue doing so. Until then, I guess!

Request Schedule and other news
Posted 8 years agoWelp, it's my first journal here. Hardly expected to make one, but alas here we are.
Thank you to the nice people who made requests for me to write about, and doubly thanks for the very nice and helpful comments you've been leaving. It warms my heart that getting different furs wet all over is so popular that I'm getting complimented over them.
You may've noticed that I've been uploading request stories on the Sunday of every week so I figured, why not make a schedule out of it? From now on, I'll strive to upload a request story every Sunday. We'll have to see how that goes.
As for other news...I'm a bit afraid to make this sort of announcement, but I was thinking of taking commissions for pieces. They'd get my main priority in working and I'd strive to finish them as soon as possible with the same standard of quality the generosity would deserve. As for prices, I'd maybe like to attempt €1 per 250 words. But seeing as most people who read my stuff are American-based, whatever $1 dollar comes up to in euros is more than fine. If you're really interested in this sort of stuff, send me a note and we can discuss things further.
Apologies in advance for how awkward this may sound, because announcing myself out there to others was always a grey area for my timid-ness to work around.
