While I'm fighting to get things written up and ready to be uploaded, I figured I'd allow people to ask me questions and stuff!

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8760062/

 codorizodori is an awesome artist, and right now she's in a terrible situation. Please, if you can, go and give her a little cash to help her.

Here, my Curious Cat. Ask me stuff so that I can contribute instead of posting stuff!

Happy New Year to all of you guys. I hope you all have a wonderful, wonderful time celebrating.

If you're wondering where content is...I'm afraid it might still be some time. My depression has severely worsened in the last couple months and I no longer am able to find the energy or focus to write. Hopefully I'll be able to fix it, but no promises. If I get a job, there may be some new commissioned pieces at least I'll post with basic stuff. We'll see there! Anyway, see you all again later, in the new year!

Happy holidays everyone!

https://www.furaffinity.net/user/plseatsammich2/

Just wanted to boost a friend of mine doing holiday commissions. Good prices, great art, and fantastic dude all around, that's Dunce! Go give him your money and get some amazing pieces out of it!

I know I've used these journals to promote a lot of friends. But right now, there is one who is in a serious emergency and needs help. Her name is Rose. You may know her as Enormouse, she's done a lot of the pictures on this account. Basically, her apartment has been sold out from under her and she has a month to get out. Combined with being trapped with an abusive, manipulative roommate and depression, she'd struggled to find a job or otherwise acquire funds needed to move to a new place. Www.gofundme.com/enormouse She just started this gofundme, and I want as many of you that can to donate something. Anything. I'll hopefully be donating a bunch soon, but for the moment all I can do is spread the word. Please, if you can spare even a few dollars, it'll help her immensely. She is a wonderful person and an incredibly talented artist. We need to do what we can to help her get to a better place, so she can continue to be the phenominal woman I know her to be.

Soooo, hello everyone. Been awhile! I have a variety of news to share. First and foremost, it was my birthday on the 19th. It went sorta how I wanted, but certain individuals who shall not be named gave me gifts despite not wanting any. So, thank you guys for those gifts again! It was a pretty simple birthday. Went out for dinner with my grandparents and had ribs, then came home for some wonderful homemade chocolate cake. It was super delicious!

Onto the news of stories and art, stuff that I have no doubt you're all more interested in, I've managed to finish my longest and largest story to date about a month ago. It's a commission, probably the only one I'll ever take given how long it took me to successfully complete, for my wonderful friend  caliburman involving his character General Lorenz Tricheco and his very large feet. I've been trying to find someone who can create a thumbnail for me since I've compeled it, since I have about as much talent at making that kind of stuff as a five year old with a paper and paint, and so I was hoping to turn to you guys and ask if you knew anyone who would be willing to make me one. For money, obviously. I have not intention to make someone work for free on anything, ever. So if anyone one of you know someone who would be willing to make one, and you could point me towards them or them towards me, I'd be very grateful!

Other than that, I got a few other stories on the way. Much shorter ones, that should be up in the coming month if all goes well. Mostly foot-related tomfoolery, a few new OC character sheets, and maybe a weirdo unaware transformation story. I imagine the last one maaaay lose me some watchers, because I'm a super freak. Anyway, I appreciate you all continuing to watch me and I hope to provide you all some actual content finally real soon!

Today is my friend  Flypone 's birthday! Go wish him a good one!

I'm not dead, but that's not what this is about. There's a friend of mine I'd like you all to check out.  mynaleth is her name! She's a writer friend, one that's honestly better than me, and she's recently started posted stories on her account. Lots of paw tomfoolery at the moment, but there may be some vore and other such things in the future! So go and give her a watch, and favorite her works! She really deserves it!

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/24013747/ My favorite story of hers, involves her and a friend of mine. One of whom ends up getting a bit on the small side, and ending up having a close encounter with some big, sweaty paws! Great stuff! So check her out, and give her stuff a read!

Figure it's easier to do the occasional Curiouscat question rather than remember to do TMI Tuesdays. Slowly trying to get back into the swing of things too, so maybe some new stories and stuff soon. Anyway, here's the link: https://curiouscat.me/SlysterK Enjoy!

I'm not dead. Just nearly dead, after a long semester has slowly driven me to the brink of insanity. I haven't had any personal time to write, not really at least. Had a few ideas, tried to continue a few stories I wanted to write for a couple friends that inspired me, as thanks for their help. But in the mean time, here. I created a Curious Cat thing. Shower me with weird and creepy questions. Don't expect a story back if you ask for it, but I'm happy to provide answers on my characters or other such things.

Link:https://curiouscat.me/SlysterK

In the meantime, I may be returning to regular stories come May. Trying to get the writing mojo back, I'm just...mentally kinda drained still from all that's happened. A few good things have happened, legal battles have been settled, and hopefully I'll be getting a proper paying job soon. And that I'll be taking easier and less ridiculous classes in the future. My fault for choosing something stupid like Geography. Anyway, that's all there is. See ya.

Currently dealing with hell in school, but in the mean time, here. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/22900525/ Support this artist by maybe bidding on their YCH!

As I sit here, awake at 3 AM and trying to write a gift for a good friend of mine as practice before I get back to my commission, I have to say...I'm rather melancholy. 2017 is a year I am glad is here, but the wounds that 2016 ripped into me have far from healed. I still suffer from the quite profoundly painful loss of my father, and the increasing stress of being my own person after years of having my life dictated by others. Suicide remains a frequent topic, no, desire in my mind, and one that I dismiss not because of its stupidity, but of the simple fact I am a people pleaser and cannot allow myself to hurt those that care about me. But, despite my pretty damn powerful depression, I cannot dismiss the one extremely positive event that occurred in my life last year. And that was  Glide saying yes to be my boyfriend. As apathetic as my negative thoughts often make me, even in my darkest moments I always find myself remaining full of love for him. He, and all my other friends, continue to keep me alive despite my intense desire not to be. And thus, being surrounded by friends that are tragically hundreds of miles away from me, I remain cautiously optimistic about 2017. If I am lucky, with my new job and my return to classes, I will slowly regain control of my ability to write and return to posting regular content. To everyone who has watched and supported me in 2016, thank you. I look forward to providing you with new stories in this new, hopefully better year. And I hope each and every one of you has a fantastic 2017.

Merry Christmas and all those other holidays. I've been rather quiet these last few months, for a variety of reasons. Depresion, preparing for the upcoming semester, getting a job, and helping my grandparents. Stressful stuff. Likewise, I visited my good friend  bennybug for Thanksgiving, and I had a blast! Put a huge dent in my funds I'm still paying off, but it was well worth it just to see him smile. Unfortunately, two weeks back, I was in a car accident, and then the following weekend my grandfather had to be rushed to the hospital. This further lowered my family's funds, and thus added to my diminishing funds. Combined with me finally starting my job last week, it's been a rather difficult month. I hope to get back into the swing of things and finally finish my single commission sometime in the next two weeks. Whether I take more...that I'm still debating. Anyway, that's all from me. I hope you guys have a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!

...So, now I can legally becomic alcoholic and ruin my life with addiction!

But seriously, I don't feel much different. My father's funeral yesterday was simple yet emotional, and it did give me at least a small amount of piece. That being said, my depression is far from ended. That's still gonna be a long battle to get back into a healthy mental state. Regardless, for the mean time, I'm going to work on slowly yet surely getting some stories finished and posted again. I'd like to thank, also, everyone who wished me a happy birthday and/or got me a present, you all are freaking fantastic and it means the world to me to have you as friends. So, thanks a bunch! Anyway, once I escape this stupid rental house and get back home, things will return to more or less normal.

I'm going to start off by saying, this isn't a way to inform people about my birthday...techincally. It is and it isn't. It is, because yes it mentions my birthday. It isn't, because I don't expect people to get me any presents. I appreciate them, surely, but I don't really deserve them right now. Nor need them. There are far better things to spend time, effort, and money on than myself. But...my birthday is this Friday, the 19th. Five days. It's something that, rather than joy, is bringing me a lot of anxiety and sadness. For several reasons. First and foremost, I'm going to be leaving town this Tuesday and heading to San Diego until Saturday. Why? Because I'm going to be scattering my father's ashes on the 18th, at a beach my family used to go on a weekly basis and just...relax. It was a place of childhood innocence, and I enjoyed it a lot. I'm not going to say it's tainted by this, it'll always be fine in my memories. But...this is it. This is the end of the road for my father. And the day after, that's my 21st birthday. And we had so many plans for it. It was going to be the first birthday we had a big party for, inviting all my friends over, and just for once...for once having a good time. There's still gonna be a big party. Most of my family is going to be there, and we're going to be out somewhere in San Diego. But it's gonna be missing the person I consider most important, my father.

I think if the funeral had been earlier, if the mourning period had been finished before it instead of delayed by the constant legal issues and my mother, then this would be easier. But...the fact of the matter is such a somber event is supposed to proceed my most important birthday, turning 21, it's...it's left me a bit emotionally out of it. I have been barely able to sleep these last few days, at least at normal times. I have to stay up as late as possible until my mind is just too tired to...let's leave it think stupid shit. To list what causes my breakdowns would be far too long to discuss here. That would require a different journal. Ultimately, however, the isolation from people here in Tuscon due to various circumstances and my father's abense have been made more prominant among them due to this. It keeps me up at night, and I get tired of having emotional episodes in bed. So...I just needed to vent. I am hoping, very much hoping that, for once that I trip I'm taking goes to plan and everything is smooth. Once I'm back too, hopefully, I'll be able to return to writing a little more often. The stress of things will have somehow lessened. I also have a therapy appointment two days after I get back, so that'll be nice. Anyway, just wanted to get that out of my head. I hope everyone else has a great week, and I promise I'll get some more content up soon!

Firstly, check out my friend Finnick! https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7745117/ He's just opened up for commissions, and he's an insanely talented artist! I'll be getting some art from him, so why don't you join me! His prices are incredibly reasonable for his talent, so please, commission him!

Next, this whole summer has been one long series of legal meetings, doctors appointments, and attempts to relax and write that have failed. Fortunately, I'm slowly getting back into the groove of writing, but it's very, very slow progress. I rarely have the will to write anymore, but when I do, I do what I can. Regardless, I will endevour to finish up my current commission and move onto the next one, should it come. Otherwise, I'll return to providing my usual image descriptions. Hope everyone has had a nice summer at least!

All right. I'm a bit hesitant to do this, knowing how long I take on stories and how sometimes I simply cannot write them because I lack inspiration. But, I'm going to try. So, to test the waters, I'm going to be starting with very short, very simple 'splat' stories. Essentially, no lead up, very little characterization, and simply focusing on getting straight to the action. Now then...you all know my best style is that of second person, and in an ideal world all of these stories would be that, but I know most will want first or third person pieces. I am okay with that. Just know I, ironically, struggle the most with first person. Third person is all right, for the most part. But, there will be no restrictions in that regard. The ideal turn about for these stories would be a week and a half to three weeks...probably longer than most writers, but...that's just how I work.

Now, there WILL be restrictions. They are as follows.

1. Absolutely no sex scenes or directly sexual content. I am not comfortable enough to work with these types of scenes yet, not to mention they just don't really interest me.

2. I expect a fully fleshed out idea when presented. Not something vague or the general gist. I want: The scenario and how it should play out, in resonable detail. All the points you want me to hit. I don't mind if you give me freedom in places, but I do want to know exactly what you want me to do. This isn't a personal story, after all. Next, I want a list of all characters that are meant to be involved, and what roles they will play in the story. Character refs are nice, but a simple physical description as well, if it's significant, a description of their clothes will suffice. Finally, which details you want me to focus on, and which you want me to either downplay or not include at all.

3. Try to limit the amount of major characters in the piece to five or below. I have trouble with keeping up with tons of characters, especially when all of them are having a conversation together. Always feels awkward. This I will work on, but for now, that's that. However, revolving protagonist that don't interact, as some macro/micro writers have done it, is fine as long as there aren't TOO many.

4. Do not constantly pester me with asking for progress reports. Once a week is fine, but know I am slow, and I stress and lock up very easily when under pressure. This is meant to test the waters, and see if I'm even able to do this.

Now then...pricing. Originally I was going to be more expensive. But then I decided, for the sake of this, do be cheaper. Probably still too expensive though for most. Here's how this will work, fully. The stories will be 500 to 750 words with the POSSIBILITY of going over. This is not guaranteed, and would have to be decided on a case to case basis. The shortest story, at 500 words, would be merely twenty-five dollars. The most expensive, at 750 words, would be 45 dollars. A big hope, I know. but this will take me time and I'll be putting a lot of effort into these. So...i'm pricing based on this.

Finally...I'll probably be working on these one at a time, so that I don't get distracted. However...know that I am still going through a tough time in reality, and thus these stories may take awhile. I promise you, however, if at any time you feel I am taking to long, all you need to do is tell me and I'll refund your cash ASAP. I hope that solves certain issues that people might have with my slowness. Anyway...that about covers it. If you're interested, let me know!

Oh...and, yes this is long, but if you commission me, I expect you to have read and understood it. To insure you did, just tell me the last name of my Sona when you communicate your idea. It's Kething.

I'm contemplating opinion for commissions. And this is a big decision. Why? Because I'm slower than a snail when it comes to writing. And I tend to write long stories. But...I intend to try to be shorter. Here's how this would work. One cent per word. Ideally, nothing below two hundred words because...that's just...way to short to make anything meaningful out of. These would be generally short and sweet stories. Nothing character driven, just focusing on a specific scenario and running with it. Nothing overtly sexual, as I'm still...not the best with that kind of stuff and don't want people to waste their money on me with that. Would anyone be interested in this? I can try longer character driven stories, and I can provide a sample piece for what I'm thinking of...though it's still pretty long. Anyone interested in this? If so, say so in the comments. Don't bombard me with ideas though, I'm not certain yet. Just let me know if there's interest.

 enormouse could still use a LOT of help getting out of the red and into the black, money-wise. So, go on and commission her!

Also, yay, FA is back...I don't have any new content to post, I'm afraid.

 Enormouse is an artist I have frequently promoted in the past. Now she's having financial troubles, and she needs YOUR help!

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7568473/

Take a look at this journal, and then toss her a commission! She really needs the funds right now! If you don't believe me, just read the journal! It explains everything! Please, I know someone out there must have some spare cash to get something with...

 Raichupuppy is a good artist, who has two nice YCH heres that are currently up. They fall under the category, for me, of 'I really wish I had some bloody cash to spend!' But, since she deserves all the attention she can get and these YCHs appeal to me, and perhaps thus my watchers, I figured I might as well send you guys her way.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19758478/ - The most wonderful idea of a micro using an unaware, and sleeping, macro's foot as a rockclimbing wall. Do you like nanomicro? Then the YCH for you! And it's the YCH for me, since Sly would be the perfect macro, but alas, I have not the dough to buy the damn slot.



http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19756318/ - Make/be the fashion statement of the year with a micro filled tongue piercing! It's a truly delightful idea, and ironically one I've had in the past. Plus, it has a great POV panel! So, that's a bonus! Sadly, I lack a character for either so, but hopefully one of you awesome people can make the most of either one!

And so, that's that. Now go throw money at her!

So, I'm on my phone. It's nearly 3. This has become a very typical habit of mine. The reasons are ones I won't bother you all with, no need to whine. That being said, I'm still suffering depression. I will say I'm generally emotionally stable, though I have those 'oh god, life isn't worth living, blah, blah, blah, general patheticness' moments from time to time. It's my energy and creative that are still shot. So, content is slow going, abd yet...for some godsforsaken reason, people get watching me. I fail to understand why, but such as it stands, I'm up to 100. Which is both nice and intimidating. So many people to please. But...I have some good news, I have two, count 'em, two stories on the verge of completion. A short and good story involving the reader being obliviously sneaker stomped by Slyster is the most important one, as it's inspired by a certain Miscreant of a Miniscule size. For those that prefer non-fatal, don't worry. I'll have a second version crafted with a less gorey ending. The second story is a bloody long ass character monologue by Nightfrost. It answers the age-old depression of 'what happens when you give a depressed cynic a word processor?' It's pretty crap, but...I'm sure people will love it as usual. So...I just need botg edited, and then you all can actually have stuff to enjoy. After that, I'll be focusing on some stories I owe  Enormouse for being super awesome. SUPPORT HER PATRAEON! Seriously, I'm tired of being the only one who supports her, sge deserves more! So freaking do it! Anyway...that's a wrap for me. Thanks for the watches, and good night!

My father has passed on. I have already cried a lot about that, so I won't be getting all mopey here. I'm not even going to go into a long rant about it. The fact of the matter is, he's gone. I can whine and cry all I want, it's not going to bring him back. I just need to press on. That being said, expect my writing to be further delayed as I take care of the arraignements and stuff. It's gonna be unpleasant, but...it must be done. Sorry for the continued delay.

Sooo....I randomly noticed recently I had somehow achieved 80 followers despite not posting something in almost three months...well, welcome! You will probably be dissapointed to hear that this page probably won't be active much for the next few months. Still coping with depression, but we'll get to that in a moment. I just want to say, I am very grateful for everyone's support, and I hope you guys enjoy all the content I have planned. I may just honestly start posting pictures without descriptions in my scraps, and then reupload them to my main gallery with their proper description once it's written up. That way, at least, you'll have something to enjoy while I'm going insane. Which brings us to a General Update on my mental health. It is not good. I got on mood stabilizers, and they worsened my depression. I have had two episodes where I basically broke down and sobbed for a bit before vomiting a few times over the last two weeks, so that's been a joy. Plus, now my medication is making me have suicidal thoughts, so you know it's really not working. First of all, now that you have read those words, do not start typing in the comments about the value of life...I'm not going to hurt myself, don't worry. I may have the thoughts, but I have no true desire. And I'll be getting off my medication over the course of this weekend, hopefully switching to something that works in the process. Regardless, I've basically shut down in school, and I'm working on getting that back in order first and foremost. So...I don't really have much time or energy to write. But, I'm trying my best here, so...it's not that big a deal. Everything'll work out, no matter if I occasionally think it won't. Just the depression talking. So...basically...I'm mentally unstable at the moment. Fun times, huh? Anyway...just let me know if you guys want me to start posting descriptionless pictures in the meantime. I've got a few on back order that I can just toss up quickly over the next few weeks.

Finally, it's Tuesday. I stopped TMI Tuesday because I started to worry about sexual questions...I've noticed a few of them pop up on other TMI's, plus I asked a question that was related to it once myself mostly due to wanting to know more about a specific character's nature, and I realized...if my characters got asked one, it...wouldn't really get an answer that the person would want. I assume. Like, you ask to get eaten...they back away slowly, or just stare at you blankly, or run screaming because you're small in Sly's case. They may be involved in content that can be considered carnally stimulating, but...they're still supposed to be normal people, and they'll act like normal people. So...if people do ask those questions...just expect the kind of respond you'd get from a person in reality if you asked them the same question. Anyway...simply put, ask me or my character's anything. I'll do my best to give prompt responses.
