Okay, this has taken me a lot of time to think about, but I'm doing it.

I am pleased to announce that I have created a Ko-fi page! With this, you can send me donations to support me. This is mainly because of life things that basically amount to me being terrible with people and getting an interview for a job. It may take me a little while to get there, but I think this is a short-term solution until I can get the actual long-term one.

Anyway, here's the link: Ko-fi.com/crowrider


I'll give more updates along the way, and here's to hoping I may actually pull this off.

Okay, so I've been considering this for a while, and I think now might be the time to address it.

Sometimes, I find myself asking what would happen if I quit when I really wanted to back in high school. For context, this is somewhere around September/October of last year when my Senior Year started. I had this project that everyone kept hyping up as something super important for our final grades. It didn't help that the project involved presenting in front of some judges.

Amazingly, I actually managed to get through it- barely, and pushed it all the way to the back of my mind. Now, though, I keep thinking about what would happen if I quit then. Well, what I mean is, what if I snapped and ran away? Obviously, I couldn't fend for myself given how I was back then, but what if I twisted it around? What if I ran to someone that I could open up to..? Someone who could connect with me on a personal level?

Someone like Xavier.

I mean, I literally made him in this random one-off story that turned into an entire anthology series...thing. I don't know why I'm thinking like this, maybe it's college getting to me already and my mind is making me look back on my life for some sort of epiphany. Either way, it's nagging at me and I want to know if I should go for it. I'm already in the middle of another story, but maybe I can give this a try once that's done...and after a small break, of course.

So, it's been a while since I actually did something on here-- okay, not that long but you get the picture.

First thing, I'm in college now! I have classes four days a week, which honestly isn't that bad. I get to sleep in and stay up more, plus I'm getting closer to achieving my goals. Still far, but slowly making my way.

Next thing, new Metaverse story coming in. Minor, but considering what the series entails, you can think otherwise. Also, I'm going to start a new story soon. Still not done outlining, but I don't see why I should put it off for longer and longer.

Now, big thing! I've been looking into text adventure games (for reasons), and I've thought about making my own. Nothing too crazy, just a little quest with some exploration mixed in. I'm not sure if I can handle the task with like, five other things on my agenda. Still, I do want to try it out-- at least if you think it'll work. Most text adventures I've seen on FA have been for...other reasons.

I have a feeling I’m going to regret this.

Zeke: Like everything else in your hurricane of a life?

It’s not that, but...it’s a really big step. I just don’t want things to go bad down the road.

Zeke: Seriously? You’re literally putting your fluffy coon-sona in charge of this! How would it get bad?

Well, he can be a little-

Xavier: *Glomps* KEEYAH!

*strained* overzealous...

Xavier: Sup, Z.

Zeke: Sup.

Xavier: Sooo, what were you guys talking about? I could tell it involved me.

If you weren’t actively hugging me with superhuman strength, I’d tell you.

Xavier: But this is all in your h-

NO WALL BREAKS!

Xavier: *Releases* Okie...

What we were talking about— before you rudely interrupted, was you being in charge of my FA account.

Xavier: Duh, I’m your fursona. Of course I’m in charge.

Actually, I was originally going to put Flash in since he’s more...reserved.

Xavier: *Fake cries* Oh, woe is me! How could you do this to me?! I can handle it, totally for reals!

Okay, stop that. I said I was. Besides, I already have three bozos with me on DA, So adding a fourth would be too much.

Xavier: Woohoo!

Now, Xavier, this is a big responsibility, and I expect you to act as I’ve written you to be so far.

Xavier: Yeah, yeah, now do it!

*Sigh* Take a knee...

Xavier: *Kneels*


By the power vested in me, by myself and no one else in the history of me, I hereby dub thee Mascot of my FA account.

Xavier: *Glomps again* EEEEEEEE!

Zeke: You’re not gonna have a heart attack, are you?

Xavier: Nope, not as long as I’m glomping.

GET HIM OFF! GET HIM OFF!



And that’s why my avatar’s changed. :P

BIG NEWS!

I finally got the prologue and first two chapters of Corrupted Light rewritten and posted! I even got a third chapter done as well, which is really good for me. The premise was changed to a magic world type deal- basically something along the lines of Mahoutsukai Precure. I got through about 26 episodes before losing interest. There wasn't an actual reason, but I just stopped... Anyway, I'm rambling at this point, so to reiterate:

Corrupted Light is now rewritten to the point where I can write new chapters, and updates are gonna be wonky because senior year is a hurricane of stress.

Okay, so I'm putting Corrupted Light on haitus for now. The main reason is that I'm getting farther with another story than this one- mostly because I actually know what's going to happen in that one. Another is that senior year is coming up for me, and... Let's just say I'm starting to delve into pure madness over it, mostly concerning a big project I know about during that time and what I'll do after the year is over.

I'm honestly not sure when I'll start up again. I have at least some of the next chapter drafted, but lately I've been on again-off again in terms of actually writing it. Meanwhile, I'm already seven chapters in on my other story- which is on Wattpad and DA. I'll probably upload it here too, just because. Currently, I want to have that story done by either September or October- because with senior year coming up, I just know my writing time is going to diminish hard...

Still, it's not as bad as having to completely discard a story-

Zeke: Like you did before... Twice.

*Knocks out with a hammer* Anyway, that's it, I guess. I'll try to work on Corrupted Light as much as I can- just as long as I can keep myself from rage-quitting when trying to see how the story will progress.
