Hey, everyone. If you haven't already watched me at  Kwandry, now's your last chance! Well, it's not the last chance to watch me, I guess, but it'll be the last time I make a journal on this account to REMIND you to watch me. SO! If you like what you see here, but you haven't watched me over there yet...

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!!!

I mean, honestly, there's lots of cool stuff on that account that you haven't seen over here yet.

Like this picture: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12063400/
And this one: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12118058/
And especially this one (warning, NSFW slightly): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11890125/

Fan of the written word? Well I've got that covered too...

The complete version of Sparked! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11818012/
The latest chapter of Never Let You Go http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11820237/
And more!

And, of course, the latest episodes of the podcast are posted each week! Check out this week's mini-episode here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12094963/

So come on over and watch me at  kwandry, ya big lug. I'll be waiting!

Hey everyone, this just servers as a friendly reminder that this will be the second-to-last journal posted on this account. If you haven't already (and you would like to continue watching me), please go to :iconKwandry; and watch me there. Trust me, I'm the same great panda over there that I was here, but there I'm newer and fresher, with 1/3 the calories and only 5% of your daily sodium intake!

Hope you all can make the trip over! See you there!

Hey, for all of those who are watching me newly (or didn't see it the first time), I'm no longer using this account for anything other than just forwarding people onto my current account. Which is....

 Kwandry

So if you want to keep seeing writing, streaming announcements, and new art I receive as commissions or gifts, watch me over there!

Again, that account is...

 Kwandry

not

 Tahlyn

but

 Kwandry

So Watch me there!

WATCH  kwandry

PS:  Kwandry

Hey, I know I've had several people waiting for updates on a couple of the continuing stories I've written. Well you're in luck, because the wait is over! BUT! You'll have to head over to my new account to find these new additions.

What is that new account you ask? Well, it's none other than  kwandry! Here is where all my future writing and commissinoed/gift art will go into, including the two following things I KNOW you've all been waiting for.


SPARKED
The story of Ash the tiger and Kory his growing red panda boyfriend can be found in its ENTIRETY HERE. For those of you who already read the first two parts that are posted to this current account, you can start at Part III HERE.


NEVER LET YOU GO
Carson and Likax's adventures are still ongoing, but the latest part, Part VIII, can be found HERE, and new additions will continue to be posted to my new account.


Let me know if you have any other questions about this transition! I'm here to be a friendly panda and help!

That title is too obvious isn't it? Well, screw you, it's a good song. Billy Joel owns a little piece of my soul.

Anywho, this journal is to announce that I've finally decided to get my account names in sync with my primary fursona name, and thus am gonna go through the process of switching accounts to Kwandry pretty much everywhere. Thus, I'll be uploading selected commissions and most of my writing over the next few days to my new FA account,  Kwandry. I will still be using this account as well in the near future, though by the end of the month I plan to be fully on my Kwandry account.

This doesn't just apply to FA, but any place I use the tahlyn name. I've already got a new Skype account (Kwandry), as well as some others, and have changed my twitter account to kwandryb. I will probably still be using the tahlynb skype account for another week or so, just to make sure everyone knows that I'm switching.

I hope that you'll follow me as I move. I'll be posting a few more reminder journals about this before the end of the month.

Thanks

New artist  Kaenn is giving free art to watchers! Check it out here! http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5127277/ Make sure to follow the rules!

So October is here, baseball is over (in Texas, anyways), and I'm more or less past the busiest point for work (at least until after the holidays). All of this is to say that I'm really wanting to get back and really focus and dedicate myself to two things: my writing and the podcast.

I'll admit, I've been feeling mildly disinterested with both of those lately, and have been throwing myself into doing less productive things (Civ V mostly). I've been doing significantly less writing, let a few weeks slip by without doing any of the podcast, been less responsive on FA, Twitter, and IMs, and have just been kinda coasting along for most of September, in many different aspects of my life. These kinds of things happen every once in a while, and as long as I recognize them and don't let them take total control over myself, then I can always pull out of them without a problem.

But perhaps it would be helpful to try and examine a little of what may have led to this mindset, if only to recognize the causes and hopefully avoid them in the future. Of course, with the new products the company I work for has recently released, mandatory overtime has been a factor, as well as having to use increased effort and brainpower to deal with new and more pressing issues that came up as a result. In addition, I've been letting two specific negative emotions have a little more presence in me than they should: jealousy and apathy.

What am I jealous of? It's something that honestly I'm a little ashamed to admit, and it's tempting to keep it to myself. However, I feel that if I actually write it out, it will help me to let go of that jealousy or at least turn it into a positive force. So here it is: I'm jealous of friends and other furs I know who are more popular than I am and seem to get more attention and fan art/freebies than I do. There's several furs that I've been jealous of, but probably the most apparent one for me is my little cheetah bro and my best friend  Kenson. We both started on FA at the same time (though he was a lurker before I was), but he seems to have become a lot more well known in the fandom than me. Part of that is because there was a period where I was more or less dormant for at least a year and a half, which was right about the same time he started to blossom and get to know a lot of really cool furs. I think his personality also plays a role: to an outside observer he's always very upbeat, cheerful, chirpy, and friendly. I feel that he's the perfect compliment to me as co-host of Size Matters.

But maybe that's what's been leading to my jealousy of late. Size Matters is my creation, my baby, and yet I seem to see a lot more people talk about how much they love Kenson on the show rather than me, and he gets much more fan art and freebies than I do. In many ways, I feel like people see me as the Robin to his Batman, or the Ringo to his Rest of the Beatles: a sidekick, an afterthought, someone who's easily replaced. Yet, I'm putting significantly more work and resources (both financial and otherwise) into the podcast than he, as producer and editor in addition to host. The jealous part of me is screaming "Why should I do all this work when he gets all the reward?!"

That mindset leads, at least partially, into the other negative emotion I mentioned: apathy. Why bother spending five to ten hours a week on a podcast that I'm not getting "rewarded" in some way for? Why bother writing macro-themed stories when they get a tenth of the attention that art does? What's the point of even trying to do any of this if I'm feeling unfulfilled? It would be much easier to just give it all up and go do something that at least requires less effort.

So you can probably see how I let these negative emotions take their grip on me and poison me for a little while. And, by the way, I do want to make one thing clear: I'm not fishing for people to compliment me, acknowledge me, or offer any kind of freebie. In fact, in many ways that's the opposite of why I brought up the feelings I've been struggling with. The reason I am trying to be so open about this is so that I can acknowledge that I have these feelings and then take control of them again and not let them rule me and grow inside me (one of the few things that are best NOT to grow! xP). In some way, I feel that I should just write this out and then keep it for myself, so that no one misconstrues this as anything other than a method for me handling my inner struggles. But I need accountability. I need to have my friends and other people who watch me know, so that if these negative feelings come up again, I can say to myself, "You can't let them control you again; you've already told everyone about them, so they'll know and be disappointed, and you can't let that happen."

So where does that leave me now? Well, I guess all of this is to say that a new wind is blowin'. October has started out tremendously well so far, and I feel that it's only going to go up from here. We're back on track with Size Matters, and I've reminded myself that I'm not doing that show for any kind of reward, but because it's a fun show to do (I've also tried to simplify the editing process so that I'm not spending quite as much time on Sundays putting it together). I received an invitation for membership into Megamorphics (the macrophile-themed Amateur Press Association publication that  Sylvan and I have been talking about), and that has helped renew my desire to write again. I've got several ideas for stories that I'm actually making progress on (and yes, I feel driven to do put more effort into the stories I've already been commissioned for and finish those up). And I've been developing closer friendships with several really cool guys over the past week or so, most notably  freder and  crateis, while trying to reconnect and reestablish friendships that I've let slide over the past month. I'm not going to be perfect from here on out, and I know that I'll undoubtedly mess up again and let some negative emotions win a few battles, but at least now, I have a sound strategy to win the war.

Thanks for taking the time to read all this. I appreciate any feedback you may have.

Okay, I think I'm ready to officially open for story commissions (considering I'm almost done with the requests and I've been unofficially accepting some already). See my price list here and see this journal for my terms and conditions.

I hope to hear from a lot of you! Send me a note through this site or send me an email if you're interested or have any questions.

-Kwandry

Here are the terms and conditions for my writing commissions and trades. I have tried to bold all the most important parts, but any commissioner should read through all of them. These are subject to change, though whatever the terms and conditions were at the time the commission was agreed upon will be in effect for that commission.

COMMISSION TYPES/PRICES:
Micro Short Story - 1,000-2,000 words: $15
Small Short Story - 2,000-4,000 words: $30
Standard Short Story - 4,000-6,000 words: $50
Long Short Story - 6,000-10,000 words: $75
Extended Short Story - 10,000-15,000 words: $120
All amounts are in USD.
1. I will do my everything I can to keep the story within the word count for the type of commission we agree to. If I find myself completely unable to reach the minimum word length, I will refund you the difference between the type of commission we agreed on and the type of commission that the story fits in. If I go over the agreed upon word count, you are not responsible for paying anything additional.
2. I am currently not accepting commissions for anything less than 1,000 words or anything greater than 15,000 words.

GENERAL:
1. I reserve the right to refuse a commission or a trade for content, known previous behavioral issues, or for any other reason. I will usually explain the reason for refusal, though this is not guaranteed.
2. I will only have up to five short story commissions/trades at a time in my queue. If you see five listed, assume that I am not open to any more for the time being, even if I haven't updated my status. I will sometimes close the queue with less than 5 in it at my discretion.
3. I work on short story commissions and trades more or less in the order that I add them to the queue. On occasion, when facing a writer's block on a particular story, I might start working on another story or work on a personal piece of writing if I am not close to missing an estimated due date on a commissioned/traded story.

INQUIRING ABOUT A COMMISSION:
1. To inquire about a commission, please send me a note through this site, send an email to tahlyn@me.com, or contact me through one of the instant messaging services listed on my profile page (I prefer receiving a note or email as this is easier to keep track of). I prefer to have at least two methods of contact.
2. When inquiring about a commission, please let me know a general idea of what you would like to see, as well as any character details you would like to see. If you are using pre-existing characters or settings, please send any references (visual or text) that I would need. Also include the type of commission you would like (chosen from my commission list).
3. When you inquire about a commission, I will reply with any questions I have and to make sure I understand your idea. I will also advise you if I think I will be able to tell your story with the type of commission you have selected, or tell you what type of commission I feel would best fit your story idea.
4. Before I will add you to the queue, I will give you an estimated due date of when the rough draft of the story will be completed. This will be based on the amount of stories I have in the queue, the estimated length of those stories as well as yours, and my schedule.

PAYMENT:
1. I ONLY accept payment via PayPal. This is non-negotiable.
2. For any commission that costs $30 or less, I will need it to be paid in full before I add you to the queue or start any work on your story. For any commission greater than $30, I will need to be paid at least half the amount before I add you to the queue or start any work on it, with the remainder paid after I complete the first draft and before I will complete the final draft.
3. When sending payment, please select "goods or services" as the type of payment. I will return any payment sent as "friends and family", and the commission will not be added to the queue. Any PayPal fees will be covered by me and do not need to be factored in to the amount paid.

DRAFTS:
1. Drafts will be sent via Dropbox or email attachment in both .txt and .rtf formats. If there is any other format you desire, please let me know and I will make a reasonable effort to accommodate this.
2. When I am finished with the first draft, I will send it to you for approval/suggestions. At this point, you can let me know of any changes that you would like to see made to any part of the story.
3. If these changes require more than 50% of the story to be rewritten (not counting grammar/spelling changes), or if it causes the story to be bumped into the word count of another commission type, an additional fee (up to 50% of the original cost or the difference between the amount paid and the cost of the next-highest commission type, whichever is greater) may be required to proceed.
4. After we have agreed upon what needs to be changed for the final draft, it should take no more than two weeks to complete.
5. I will submit the final draft to you for any minor changes that you would like. No more than 10% of the story should need to be changed at this point; anything beyond this may require an additional fee of up to 50% of the original cost or may be rejected at my choosing. If I have not heard back from you within 24 hours of submitting the final draft, I will post the story to my accounts for public viewing. You may still request changes up to 72 hours after this posting, and I will make every effort to accommodate them.

REFUNDS:
1. If I have missed the initial estimated due date I have set, I will contact you with a revised estimate. At this point, you may chose to either accept this revised estimate or to request a refund in full of any money you've paid. If you accept this refund, you give up any rights to publish or reuse any part of the story that has been written or created by me.
2. If I again miss the revised estimate, you may chose to either have the total price of your commission cut in half and still receive the commissioned work in full (when it's completed), or receive a refund of the full amount you've paid. In this case, if you accept this refund, you retain the rights to publish or reuse any part of the story that has been written or created by me.
3. If I have not missed the estimated due date, you may request a refund as long as I have not started on the final draft. In this situation, the amount of the refund will be based on how much of the story I have completed. If I've completed less than 25% of the first draft (based on the higher word count for the agreed-upon commission type), you will receive a full refund. If I have completed between 25% and 75% of the word count, then you will receive 3/4 of the total cost of the commission. If I have completed more than 75% of the word count, then you will receive 1/2 of the total cost of the commission. For the purposes of refunds, any amount of the total that hasn't been paid yet is considered an amount refunded. If you accept this refund, you give up any rights to publish or reuse any part of the story that has been written or created by me.
EXAMPLE: You have commissioned a Standard Short Story and have made a $25 down payment with a total cost of $50. A week later, you request a refund. If I have completed less than 1500 words of the short story (25% of 6000), I will refund the $25 you have already paid. If I have completed less than 4500 words of the short story (75% of 6000), I will refund $12.50 (75% of $50 = $37.50, minus the $25 not yet paid = $12.50). If I have completed more than 4500 words, then a refund of the amount will not be issued, since only half of the total amount has been paid already.
4. After the final draft has been started, refunds will only be issued in extenuating circumstances or if it has been longer than two weeks from when we have agreed upon what needs to be changed for the final draft. No more than half of the total cost of a commission will be refunded in this case.
5. Though I try to send all refunds as soon as possible, they may take up to two weeks for me to send through PayPal.

COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER:
1. I will usually respond to any notes/emails within 24 hours of receiving them. If there are extenuating circumstances that would not allow me to respond within 24 hours, I will post this in a journal and will try to notify any commissioners if at all possible.
2. At any point after being placed in the queue, you may request a status update on your story. If I have started writing your story, you may also request to see the draft of the story as it currently exists. I will make every effort to honor this request, though I reserve the right to withhold a draft in certain circumstances.
3. If I have any questions about your story, I will send a note/email to the contact information you gave me (including multiple addresses if given).
4. If I do not hear a reply within 72 hours (three days), I will send a follow-up note/email. If I still do not receive a reply within another 96 hours (four days), I will move the story to the back of my queue and will start focusing on the next story.
5. Any time I wait to receive a reply from you past the first seventy-two hours will push the estimated due date back by however long it takes you to respond, for the purpose of determining refund status.
6. If I do not receive a reply within thirty days of sending a note/email (not the follow-up), then I will consider the story abandoned by you. Ownership rights to any work I've done on the story will be retained by me and may be reused for future work. No refunds will be issued for abandoned stories.

STORY/CHARACTER RIGHTS:
1. I will not write using any existing characters that neither you nor I own the rights to, unless you can prove to my satisfaction that you have permission to use these characters. The only exception to this will be known historical/public figures that would be covered by fair use or characters in the public domain.
2. Any characters that are original and owned by you but are related to an existing copyrighted creative work or universe (Pokemon, My Little Pony, etc.) will be decided on a case-by-case basis and must include enough unique characteristics to differentiate it from any existing copyright characters.
3. If you submit pre-existing characters or settings with reference material (this should include a name and either a visual reference or a text description), then you grant me the rights to use your characters/settings in the commissioned story only, while you retain all ownership rights over the characters and settings.
4. Any request to use existing characters or settings that are owned by me will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The ownership rights for these characters/settings will remain owned by me and may not be negotiated for.
5. Any characters or settings that I create for the story (that is, if a name or description/reference is not provided by you) will remain owned by me, may be featured in future stories or art I write or commission, and may not be used in other art without my permission. You may negotiate ownership rights over these characters/settings for an additional fee.
6. The rights to the story itself will remain owned by me. I reserve the right to submit/post the story to any website or publication I choose. I grant you (as commissioner) limited republication rights to post the story to any of your personal sites/accounts, as long as you a) give credit to me as the author, and b) do not charge money or use the story for any other commercial reason. You may negotiate unlimited republication rights over the story for an additional fee.

TRADES:
1. Trade requests are considered on a case-by-case basis.
2. Trades are given the same priority in writing as a commission, in the order that they are added to the queue.
3. The value of my part of the trade and your part of the trade should be roughly equal. We will agree upon the items included in the trade before I add you to my queue or begin any work on your story.
4. I will work up to the completion of the rough draft before seeing any work from you. However, I will not work beyond this without seeing at least a sketch or rough draft of the item you are trading to me.
5. Trade-commission hybrids are acceptable in certain situations if we agree upon them before-hand.
6. If I am unable to complete my portion of the trade but you have completed and posted some or all of your portion, I will offer an amount in payment up to the total amount that my part of the trade would have cost as a commission.
7. All other terms and conditions not dealing with payment and refunds are also applicable to trades.

If you have any other questions, please send me a note or an email.

It took me over two and a half years on FA to get to a hundred watchers. It took just another month and a half to get to two hundred. Thanks so much to all of you guys, especially  the_randomizer, who was the one who pushed the odometer over, so-to-speak. I hope to continue to be able to be worth watching!

UPDATE: The requests have been filled! Thanks everyone for your interest, and keep a watch out for future writing opportunities!!

---

I'm doing it. I'm finally going to take some short story requests, in an attempt to lead up to opening for commissions. While I'm most interested in macro and growth themes, I will write all sorts of various subjects. If you'd like to see some examples of the kind of work I can do, see the list at the bottom of this journal.

I am currently planning on taking three requests, each of between 1000-2000 words (I have included the word count of each of my short stories below for comparison's sake). This means that the idea you must have should be able to be told within one to three scenes, and should most likely only involve between one and three main characters. If, in my judgement, your idea sounds like it will take longer than this to accomplish, I will not accept it as a request. HOWEVER, I am open to the idea of art trades for stories longer than this, and eventually I will open up for commissions for stories of all sizes.

As for content, I don't have a list of things I absolutely won't write; while I reserve the right to deny a request or commission for content or any other reason, I will make a case-by-case judgement for each inquiry. However, things that might cause me to reject an inquiry, or that I may accept but may not be very good at, include:

-Heavy vore
-Heavy bondage
-Scat
-Diapers
-Overly fat furs
-Pregnancy
-Lesbian scenes
-Use of someone else's copyrighted characters or worlds without their permission (for fan fiction, I'm a bit more lenient)

This list is subject to change, and there are some things that aren't on here that I may still deny. Please contact me with your idea if you're curious or uncertain.

If you are wanting to take me up on this offer, please send me a note/private message with your idea. Also, if there are any existing characters that you wish me to use, please send or link me any reference materials you may have. I will look over the requests on a first-come-first-served basis, though if the idea or information you provide is not complete, this may cause others to jump ahead of you, though I will do my best to work with you in this case. Officially, though, you do not have a spot until I have accepted your idea and confirmed it in a note back to you.

Thanks for reading, everyone, and I hope you all enjoy whatever comes out of this!

I asked this on Twitter, but I want to ask it here too. Do you think I should hold off on posting anything until a week or so after AC? I'm not going myself, but I know a ton of people are, and I don't want my stuff to be missed while they're gone or be caught up in the deluge of art that will come after everyone gets back. Plus, it's a holiday weekend here in the US, and even people who aren't going to AC may still be out of town or busy because of that.

At the same time, there's a bunch of stuff I have in the pipeline that will probably be ready before the end of the weekend: more chapters from "Never Let You Go", my short story commission from  JamesFoxes, a couple of other short stories I've been kicking around, and (hopefully) some art that I've gotten commissioned that I'm waiting on. Plus, I'm probably going to be ready to take writing requests soon, eventually leading to commissions.

So what do you think? Should I wait? Or should I continue like normal?

So this morning, with  SAJUA deciding to watch my profile, I finally have more watchers than people I'm watching! Now, this is an arbitrary milestone, I realize, and i don't follow all that many people here (intentionally so), but I just want to say that I'm appreciative of all the people that have watched me recently, and even more so of all the people who have watched me for years now. Thanks, and I hope to make it worth your while!
