The surprisingly generous  Jacethearcticwolf is giving away his next five bits of art for free!
Check it out in his journal here. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2898478/

Today I was reading a supposedly erotic story elsewhere on the Internet. And for the most part, it was well-done. Except for one glaring issue which, most unfortunately, is not an isolated problem. I won't link to it, don't want to just point fingers, but this is a most distressing issue to me as a writer.

Y'see, one of the parts of the story was an anal sex scene. Obviously I have nothing against that, I've written quite a few of them myself by now. But out of the blue, the author used a phrase like "She cried out in pleasure as he slid his rock-hard cock into her virgin shitchute."

Yeah. Her virgin shitchute. I kid you not.

Let me spell this out so as to be perfectly clear: Unless you happen to be writing a scat story, your readers will be finding anal sex arousing in spite of the fact that that particular orifice is usually used for expelling human waste, not because of it. You should be working as hard as you can to avoid reminding them of that. Using any euphemism for the anus that has the words 'shit' or 'poop' in it will accomplish nothing except instantly removing all possible eroticism from the scene, and possibly the rest of the story.

Personally I would have thought that was obvious, but apparently not. I've also seen 'shittube' and just 'the shitter' used in supposedly erotic stories.

Having said that, let's ask the audience: What sexual terms, euphemisms, and/or phrases do you find incredibly creepy or unsettling instead of sexy or arousing?

Hey guys, remember this journal?

Let me refresh your memory: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in January, I wrote a story for submission to Heat magazine, issue #9. As is their way, they didn't start reviewing submissions to issue 9 until after they had successfully published and distributed issue 8, which happened this summer. And a couple of weeks ago, I finally got an email from them telling me... that they had turned down the story.

Oh well. These things happen, and I'm told it's a really good thing that they included a critique of what they didn't like about the story, as opposed to just sending me a generic form letter to turn me down. So that makes me feel a bit better.

In any event, since I'm no longer required to keep the story out of the public eye, I can finally post it so you fine people can enjoy it. It's called "His Big Little Bitch" and you can find it here.

I've put it in scraps because I wrote it almost a year ago, and I like to think I've improved since then, even if it's just a wee little bit. u_u

In any event, I hope you like the story, and now I'll get back to working on the shiny new stories in my Word window.

Keep it Green.

Happy Halloween, duders. Since I have failed, as ever, to write a spoooooky Halloween-themed story (can't imagine why that could be), I thought I would at the very least acknowledge this holiday with a meme I found over on Inkbunny. I didn't really do much for the celebration this year aside from download the seasonal inFamous game (which can be summed up as "superheroes + vampires") and enjoying the company of a black cat. Anywho, without further intro, let's get to it shall we?

Halloween Meme
Don't just say yes or no to all questions, some questions you can give more detail and tell us about yourself during Halloween! Have some fun with it and explain why you answered in such a way!

1. Do you celebrate Halloween?
Sure? It's not like I hide myself in the basement and turn off all the lights.

2. Do you have any Halloween traditions?
Complaining about the deluge of horror movies on TV and vowing to one day fulfil my dream of decorating the house in a Christmas fashion, opening the door dressed as Santa Claus, and giving candy canes to confused trick-or-treaters.

3. Have you ever stayed home or gone to a friends place to give out candy?
You'd better believe I have, has anyone ever answered "no"?

4. Do you trick-or-treat?
No, but the only thing keeping it from happening is the fact that my most ridiculous friends live very far away, sadface.

5. What age do you think is "too old" for trick-or-treating?
See above question. I'm 26. FUCK THE POLICE.

6. Do you decorate for Halloween?
Yes! Not well, mind you, but yes. Fond of that old standby, the glowy ghost lamp in the window. n_n

7. Have you ever "tricked" a trick-or-treater?
I'm not legally allowed to talk about that or the other events of October 31st, 2008. u_u
_{*That was a joke}

8. Are you going to dress up for Halloween this year?
If I had thought of it sooner I would have skipped shaving for like a week and worn a flannel shirt and a toque to become a lumberjack. :3

9. Do you dress up, or would you dress up, at your job if it was allowed?
Hell yeah I would. Nothing helps beat the monotony of work like being dressed like Dracula. Well, except office sex, obviously, but that wasn't part of the question. What were we talking about again? <_<

10. What is your fondest memory about Halloween?
The year my mother secretly made the theoretical spider costume I'd complained about being both awesome and impossible to make. n_n

11. Do you go to social events such as costume parties?
Would if I could but again, my social life is mostly online these days, sadface.

12. What is your favourite thing about Halloween?
That people think the screams are for atmosphere. o_o
No, I suppose it would be how happy it makes the little chilluns, awwwww.

13. Do you like to scare others?
Hell no, say it with me, SCARES ARE FOR SQUARES.

14. Do you go to haunted events, such as haunted hay rides and haunted houses?
Being a giant coward, the answer is NO.

15. What's the scariest thing that has ever happened to you on Halloween?
Hmmm. Not a whole heck of a lot, actually.

16. Have you ever scared someone on Halloween?
One year I was giving out candy at to chilluns at my parents' house, and I was wearing a gorilla mask with flashing red eyes, for whatever reason. This mask scared one particularly wee kid so bad he refused to approach the door until I took it off, poor dear. n_n

17. What has been your favourite costume you have worn?
Well the creepy-as-sin happy face man (seriously, you had to see this thing in person, it was like it was covered in boils. Smiling boils) never failed to unsettle my friends, but I think I enjoyed wearing the previously mentioned spider costume more.

18. Have you ever made your own costume, or part of one?
Aside from the time I painted myself green and wore jean shorts to a party to be the Hulk, no.

19. Do you carve pumpkins?
Not especially well!

20. What is your favourite food during Halloween?
Uhh, pumpkin pie?

21. Is there any food that reminds you of Halloween, no matter what time of year it is?
Regular food? Not really.

22. Whats your favourite kind of candy?
White chocolate, mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

23. What candy have you always hated getting at Halloween?
Candy corn, though the dentist on Barber drive who always handed out floss was a contender.

24. What candy reminds you of trick-or-treating?
The kind they only sell at Halloween, Popeye's candy sticks in particular.

Well that was fun, and they didn't even ask me to tag anyone! That being the case,

MEME OVER.

I'm a writer in a good mood, so I'm going to say nice things about a stranger's work. n_n

If you like the parts of my stories that make you go awwww, and not just the parts that make you go ohhhh (oh my God that was the worst description ever), you might like this comic by  Jezzabelle, Truth Be Told. You can find the first page right here, and I find that it contains just about everything that makes me smile in stories about Lurve.

That's about it, hope you all have a lovely day, and not to jinx it or anything, but I might be wrapping up a story soon.

RANDOM ADVERTISING OVER.

No longer feeling in the mood to wrap myself in a nice thick blanket of self-pity, sorry for spreading it here, too.

As my apology, here is a video of a blind cat trying to work out the concept of "rapidly moving air" for the first time.

Just wanted to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who are as Canadian as I, and a happy Columbus Day to those of you a little further south. n_n

I haven't posted anything in a while yet don't have anything interesting or relevant to say, so just look at this video of a purring cat and be assured that I'm still working on stories to delight you.

Yes, I'm still working on stories, as always, this isn't a Writer's Block journal, thank goodness. *knocks on wood*

I wanted to mention that I recently found a handy post called The Furry Writer's Guide to FA, in which the clever  Poetigress explains (among other things) a handy method of quickly changing the formatting of a story written in Word to BBCode which will make it compatible with the .txt format, and thus, being able to read it in-browser on Fur Affinity. It isn't exactly as easy as 1-2-3, but it takes significantly less time than going through a story and manually adding code tags around every piece of text that I want to be italicized. And I speak from experience there. :P I used it on the first real story I submitted to the site, Nocturnal Intermission, and although it took a little fiddling, I'd say it was a success. :3

So I'll probably go through my other stories one by one in my spare time, giving them the same treatment. I'm not gonna take the George Lucas method of updating, either, these are going to be exactly the same stories that have been on the site as long as three years now, just in a more user-friendly format. Although I really should get around to revising Kelly's Birthday, that story still makes me uncomfortable. :P

Ah, well. Just wanted to let you all know what's up. Thanks to Poetigress for the uber-useful guide, and thanks to you all for continuing to read my stories and putting up with my slow production speed. I can't think of a witty way to end this, so I'll do what I always do instead.

JOURNAL OVER.

So I was wondering tonight and thought I'd ask...

If I opened story commissions, would anyone care?

I mean, I'm kind of slow in my writing this year and I don't have the foggiest idea how much to charge, but would there even be interest if I did so?

So I got Deus Ex: Human Revolution the other day.

It's fucking rad.

You didn't need me to tell you that, and amazingly, this journal isn't just going to be me gushing about how awesome it is.

No, this is a message to people who are thinking about picking it up. Mild spoilers about the very beginning of the game, so if that's uber-important to you, I'll just say this: when they say "hurry up", they fucking mean it.

Now then, more detail for those of you who aren't completely spoilerphobic:

After the tutorial segment of the game, once you get your cyborg on and are back in action, it drops you in the lobby of Sarif Industries with two objectives: Get your HUD fixed at the tech lab and get to the helipad to start a hostage rescue mission.

So when I start the mission, my boss tells me the criminals have up and murdered all the hostages except one already. I swear to avenge this horrid crime and get in there and Get Things Done. And I'm playing the game for maybe four, five hours after that when I chance across something interesting online.

Turns out that wasn't written in stone and that it is possible to save the hostages. Easy, even.

See, the hostages get pre-murdered if you take too long getting to the helipad, and me being me, after I got the HUD fixed, instead of reporting to the chopper straight away like a good employee, I spent the better part of an hour wandering around the building, talking to everybody and poking my nose into every nook and cranny looking for goodies.

In my defence, this kind of behaviour was never punished in any other first-person open world RPGs I've played, including Morrowind, Oblivion, and Fallout 3. This was the first time where "hurry up" actually meant "there will be negative consequences if you don't get here soon" without putting an actual timer on the screen.

So: when you start a playthrough of Human Revolution, unless you like the idea of being blamed for the deaths of eight innocents and listening to the weeping of grieving relatives, I recommend you GET TO THE CHOPPA.

But yes. Dick Move with the plot scripting there aside, I'm loving the hell out of this game so far and strongly recommend it if you like this sort of game.

EDIT: For the record, I did restart so I could save them properly this time. Felt real good. u_u

Short one this time:

Is it me, or would this make for the best FPS ever?

Well I was all set to make snarky comments about this personality traits test, figured a multiple choice test online would just be flattery run rampant, but apart from "Accessible" being rather wrong and the last sentence of "Slapdash" being backwards, it's actually pretty closely on-target. Go figure. Not sure what's up with the double negatives, though.

Passionate
You are in touch with your emotions, and sometimes you react before you think. The good news: you don't tamp down your feelings. The bad news: you sometimes say or do things that you later wish you could take back.

You do not live your life on an even keel; you do not go for long periods without experiencing some mood swings.

Aesthetic
You appreciate art, beauty, and design; you know that they are not superficial but absolutely crucial to living the good life. You have good taste, and you're proud of it. Those with a high score on the "aesthetic" trait are often employed in literary or artistic professions, enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about the arts, reading, and travel.

You don't think it's pretentious to be moved by art and beauty. You're not one of those who believe it doesn't matter what something looks like as long as it does its job.

Original
You are constantly coming up with new ideas. For you, the world as it exists is just a jumping-off place; what's going on inside your mind is often more interesting than what's going on outside.

You don't feel that the road to success is to be a realist and stick to the program; you never stop yourself from coming up with new ideas or telling the world what you're thinking about.

Creative
You are good at solving problems, coming up with original ideas, and seeing connections between things, connections that most other people miss. People with a high score on the "creative" trait often are employed in such fields as finance and scientific research, and enjoy avant garde and classical music as well as literary fiction and scholarly non-fiction.

You do not shun abstractions and concepts in favor of the concrete and tangible.

Intellectual
You are thoughtful, rational, and comfortable in the world of ideas. People find you interesting to talk to. You're the living embodiment of the saying "You learn something new every day." In general, those with a high score on the "intellectual" trait are employed in such fields as teaching and research, and are enthusiastic about reading, foreign films, and classical music.

You do not avoid abstract conversation, experimenting with new ideas, or studying new things. It bores you to stick to the straight and narrow of what you already know.

Loose
You feel that a clean, orderly desk is the sign of a person who doesn't have enough to do. Schedules and "to do" lists feel stifling; you thrive on a sense that anything goes, and know that the world won't end if you don't clean up after finishing a job.

You don't need to know that everything is in its place; it is not empowering to you to feel that the world around you is neat and organized. Mowing down every item on your "to do" list, every day, does not bring you joy.

Reckless
You tend to give in to your impulses and indulge your cravings. Rather than fight your emotions, you often do what comes naturally, which means occasionally overdoing it, sometimes even embarrassing yourself.

You are not good at resisting temptation and avoiding overindulgence; you are not the kind of person who doesn't regret anything you said or did.

Accessible
You're comfortable expressing yourself in words and actions, with no self-censorship. You believe that if someone doesn't like what they see it's not your problem, but theirs. A high score on the "accessible" trait suggests that you have a lot of friends, socialize often, and enjoy rap/hip-hop music.

You don't see the need to keep your thoughts to yourself, or to have a zone of privacy that encompasses only yourself and a small circle of friends and relatives.

Inefficient
You like to live your life without plans, and when you do have a plan you're happy to ignore it. While you're not necessarily opposed to getting work done, you're very good at finding other ways to spend your time.

You are not anal, or even particularly well organized. You don't enjoy sticking to your plans, and don't mind when you don't finish on time.

Slapdash
You believe things will turn out fine even if they don't go precisely according to plan. As far as you're concerned, it's not the end of the world if a project falls short of perfection.

You don't feel compelled to dot every "i" and cross every "t."

You can take this test yourself if you're so inclined here: http://www.signalpatterns.com/psych_central/

I'm putting the finishing touches on a story, by the way, featuring two old friends we haven't seen in a while. I'll try to get it wrapped up soon.

JOURNAL OVER.

Saw it tonight.

And you know what? I think I, specifically, might be this movie franchise's target audience.

Because eff all those people badmouthing it, I don't think I've ever enjoyed a movie as much as I did Dark of the Moon. I loved every minute of it, from the surprisingly brutal combat sequences to the deliberately awkward scenes where Shia LeBoeuf is crashing and burning at job interviews. I absolutely adored Leonard Nimoy as Sentinel Prime (I mean, for God's sake, they actually wrote in the line "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." How many movies go that far to honour one of their actors?). And I think the special effects are among the best I've ever seen.

I don't know what everyone else went into the theatre expecting, but for me, seeing Optimus Prime beating the shit out of hapless Decepticons on the big screen (and in 3D this time, no less) makes me feel ten years old again. It's been a long time since a movie got me that jazzed up. So screw all y'all, I loved this movie and I'm not the least bit ashamed to admit it. n_n

No sarcasm or irony here, folks. Just want to wish all my fellow  CanadianFurs a happy Canada Day, and all the lovely celebrations that come with it.

And I'll also use this space to wish my American readers a happy Independence Day come Monday. I know what movie I'll be watching that night. n_n

So lately I've been getting bothered by spam bots on AIM. Mostly they come in two categories. Either they instantaneously tell me to check my car insurance record at whatever stupid website, or they pretend to be a hot girl, who then tries to coerce me into watching "her" on a live webcam. I like to humour them for a few lines, determine if it's a real person or not, and then have some fun before I report the user for spamming. This most recent one, which popped up immediately after I was discussing the plot of Alice: Madness Returns with a friend, was quite entertaining to me.

qu33nofhearts14 (1:30:27 AM): hi!
Tastes Green (1:31:09 AM): Hello
qu33nofhearts14 (1:31:16 AM): Hey what's up? 24/F here. You?
Tastes Green (1:31:43 AM): Uh, 26/M, why?
qu33nofhearts14 (1:31:50 AM): Hmm. Have we chatteed before?
Tastes Green (1:32:05 AM): Oh, I would remember a username as significant as that one.
qu33nofhearts14 (1:32:12 AM): Oh ok. Sorrry. l wasn't sure.
qu33nofhearts14 (1:32:21 AM): But anywaysss.... What are u up too?
Tastes Green (1:33:16 AM): Oh, you know, the usual, looking at YouTube, finishing a story, reading up on the Great Ritual of Blood and Fire through which all will be reborn. Sunday night.
qu33nofhearts14 (1:33:23 AM): Ah. lm Iike super bored.
qu33nofhearts14 (1:33:39 AM): l was thinking about getting on web-cam but l'm not sure. lf l do wilI you come and watch me?
Tastes Green (1:34:00 AM): Gee, I don't know, I might be punished for impure thoughts
qu33nofhearts14 (1:34:12 AM): Yay! Ok. lts setup through a website so that pervs cant record me
qu33nofhearts14 (1:34:18 AM): ls that ok with you?
Tastes Green (1:34:35 AM): As long as it isn't Fraps-proof. :3
qu33nofhearts14 (1:34:42 AM): Alright. <website name removed> go there
qu33nofhearts14 (1:34:58 AM): When the page loads look at the top and you will see a JOIlN FREE button. click it and signup real fast
Tastes Green (1:35:21 AM): No thank you! n_n

The Great Ritual is my equivalent to those scrambled letters you have to enter when you sign up with a website. If they aren't terribly confused and/or weirded out, it's a robot. They aren't terribly smart, won't react to anything specific you say (got a friend who incorporates the words "I'm gay" into every response, and they still ask him to look at their boobs). They do, however, simulate the typing delay of a real person, with the "<name> is typing" message at the bottom of the AIM window, so that's kind of impressive, I guess. I just wish they weren't using it to try to swindle me into looking at crappy porn.

EDIT: By the way, Fraps is the name of the program I use to make my Let's Play videos: they record whatever image is currently on screen, so... eh, you get the idea.

These white-outs on FA are happening more and more often. What's up with that? ಠ_ಠ

Or am I the only one who's randomly been getting blank screens that still seem to think they are done loading while browsing Fur Affinity lately?

The front page news story on the local paper yesterday was about police looking for the person who shot someone's cat non-fatally with a BB gun. This was accompanied by a picture of a decidedly healthy-looking cat in the arms of a little girl, and frankly, the look on her face was more "stoked about being in the newspaper" than "upset about someone injuring her cat".

I mean, I know, I know, it's the local paper for a boring-ass suburban town in southern Ontario, but come on, really? :P

That wasn't the Inception sound. u_u

I had a great birthday yesterday. Pancakes for breakfast is always a good start, and then I finally got my hands on Portal 2. Played around in the co-op mode for a bit with my brother; the puzzles are really well done, the robots are adorable (I was playing as Orange) and the writing is as good as I remember. Nice to hear GLaDOS again after all this time.

Went to see THOR as well. (My dad wrote it that way in a text message asking if I was going to go see it on Friday, and I found it amusingly charming so I've been writing it in all-caps since then)

I really enjoyed it, even though I don't really know anything about the Marvel version of Thor, can't help but think I'd have been kinda lost if it weren't for my semi-decent knowledge of Norse mythology (used to study that stuff extensively for a trivia quiz team I was on in high school, long story). Anthony Hopkins was great as Odin, and while I've never heard of him before, Chris Hemsworth was perfect as Thor. The theatre I went to see it in had the speakers turned up a bit too high, though; whenever the Destroyer used his Face Beam, the room was filled with a deafening BWAAAAAAAAA for a couple of seconds. Personally, I think for a movie about the Norse god of thunder, really high volume is perfectly appropriate. u_u

Went home, had cake, watched Mythbusters because nothing else is on on Sundays, and had a very relaxing, low-key evening.

Many thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, and I hope you all have a good week. I'm working diligently on my latest story, I'll try to have it up as soon as I can.

CELEBRATORY JOURNAL OVER.

I'm turning twenty-six on Sunday, which I believe officially moves me from "mid-twenties" to "late twenties". Makes me feel old, puts me in a "focus on all the negative aspects of your life" kinda mood. I'm hoping I'll get over it, though. Hoping to pick up Portal 2 on the occasion, going to see THOR with a few friends and family members. Superhero movies are kind of a thing on my birthday, since they love releasing them in the spring, for whatever reason. Last year I saw Iron Man 2. /ramble

I don't really know why I'm posting this, aside from the fact that it's been on my mind a lot lately, since I'm more or less in exactly the same place in my life I was last year, and that wasn't a great one to begin with. BUT! It could certainly be a whole hell of a lot worse, so I'm trying to focus on the positives.

For example, despite all the shiny distractions around me (the Internet, LP videos, finally gave in and got Minecraft last month, etc.), I'm finally closing in on finishing a story I've been working on for a while, something I haven't done that often this year. I'm getting to the part that makes it red-bordered, and for some reason the writing always seems to go faster once the pants come off. n_n

I guess things aren't so bad after all, which is a nice thing to realize, but it leaves me without any coherent way to wrap up this journal. I suppose I'll just fall back on my old standby. :B

JOURNAL OVER.

I had a tuna salad sandwich today. It was completely delicious. <_<

>_> I watch an awful lot of Star Trek.

Once I was at an outdoor concert, and as someone brushed past me, he put his hand on my ass. I thought he was trying to steal my wallet, but since he didn't, I assume he was just copping a feel. <_<

>_> To date, I have never won a kiriban or a raffle or any such thing. But that's okay, since they're free, it's not like I lost anything.

Why yes, this journal is to push outdated stuff off the front page. <_<

>_> I should probably get back to that party story. I've been on kind of a roll this week.

DOING THAT, THEN

EDIT: oh hey, here's some usefulness. I recently added  Buck7,  TalarisShuran and  [koh] to my list of people what are awesome. Go shower them in love and tell them how cool they are.

Anyone else here upload stuff to YouTube? They don't have their own forums so I'm just throwing this out anywhere I hang out online.

Had a pretty serious issue lately with uploads. They work, and the videos seem to be just fine afterward, but during the upload process Firefox becomes almost completely unresponsive until it either finishes or is cancelled.

On the one hand, this gives me an excuse to write instead of looking at pictures of kittens or reading up on videogame news, but this is hardly an ideal situation, not to mention that it never happened before a couple of days ago.

What's up with that? :P

So today I was doing a bit of research into incest, and discovered that in addition to a bunch of people who hold the old 'it's wrong because it's gross' opinion, there are many whose arguments basically boil down to 'do whatever to each other, but don't have kids', as well as an unfortunately large amount of people who claim that it's literally impossible to feel romantic love towards someone you already feel familial love towards. Interesting. I might be able to use this in a story.

So what the hell does that have to do with the name of this journal? Well, nothing really, but after a while my mind wandered towards happier things, specifically songs written about my favourite kink that aren't gloomy tales of Bad Touching and funny uncles.

For starters, there's This Love is Fucking Right, by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, which incidentally is an awesome band name. This one contains the line "You're my sister, and this love is fucking right", yet some argue that it isn't about siblings playing nicely together (which, by the way, is my favourite euphemism for the subject). Someone claimed (with no proof) that the band said it wasn't about incest in an interview, but even if they did, well, I'm not interested in reading it.

What can I say? I'm a writer. Interpreting stuff any damn way I please is one of the perks of the job. n_n

Then there's a song called Don't Stop Swaying by Sophie B. Hawkins. When I searched for the song on YouTube, I couldn't find any videos that weren't dedicated to brother-sister fan pairings. <_<;

That's probably because this song says Fuck You to theory and speculation, and is overtly about Hansel and Gretel falling in love and doing what comes naturally to lovers after their evil mother dumps them in the forest. Scandalous! :o

 Forneus also brought to my attention a song called Incestuous Union (in the middle) by The J. Arthur Keenes Band. While it isn't really positive or negative about incest, more like a comedic 'Whoooops! Turns out we're related! *awesomeface*" tone, it does get credit for being the first chiptune song I've ever heard on the subject.

I can't really think of any other such songs off the top of my head, and I can't think of any logical way to end this, so I'll just do what I always do and

JOURNAL OVER.

- The magnificent  Buck7 wrote a kick-awesome rock song for me, and posted it today. Bask in its glory here, and tell Buck how incredible he is. Buck was also, incidentally, the person who introduced me to the Firefight Arcade matchmaking list on Halo: Reach, a game mode I find much more entertaining than standard Multiplayer, aka "everybody shoot the guy in green armour". You rock, dude.

- I beat The Ball today, which brings my completed number of Let's Plays up to seven. Go me! Not sure what game I'm gonna do next, I was thinking about doing Crysis, but there are a ton of Crysis LPs out there, and the raw footage might take up an enormous amount of space on my hard drive. I'm sure I'll think of something.

- Don't let my continuing videogame domination fool you, I'm always working on my writing. I'm currently working on a sequel to Empty, and I think I'll take it in a bit of a different direction than what would seem obvious. /vague n_n

- Speaking of my writing, I notice a whole lot of other writers putting in warnings at the beginning of their stories, like 'If you are under 18, do not read this pornography' or 'If brother-sister incest isn't your thing, you're probably not going to enjoy this story about brother-sister incest'. I never really thought these were necessary, but is there a reason they're so prevalent? Should I be adding them in?

- The situation in Japan totally sucks. Yes. I don't really have anything to say that hasn't already been said, but it seemed wrong somehow to write a journal in the middle of such events without acknowledging them at all.

- If you like the genre of stories I tend to focus on *coughincestcough*, check out this story by  JeevestheRoo. It's just a shame the sequel never got finished, hint hint prod prod.

This has been Random Thoughts from Green's Head. I'm your host, TastesLikeGreen. u_u
SILLY JOURNAL OVER.

I haven't written a red-bordered Vinnie story since summer 2009. In fact, I haven't written anything with Vinnie in it at all since the December before last. And in a year and a half, I still haven't done the follow-up story to A Blue's Embrace.

How do I let time get away from me like that? :P
