I'm gonna be out from July 6th to 10th. I'll have my phone, so I can still respond to PMs and emails and stuff if you need me for commission discussions or the like, but I'm not going to be posting any submissions and I'll probably be a bit slower to respond (phone keyboard and all that)! Things should go back to normal after that though.

Not sure why nobody mentioned it to me before but yeah.

I've got several things going on right now IRL- nothing bad or such, just more than I'm used to! I've cut back my furry presence for the week so far, and will probably need to do so throughout the (extended US holiday) weekend.

If you have commission business to discuss with me, definitely still contact me anyway- I won't hold you up over it! But I will probably be a bit slower to respond, for now.
For non-commission business, also feel free to contact me, but unless it's urgent I'll definitely be slower to respond!

If all goes as planned, I should be resuming daily commission posts in a bit less than a week, and I might be able to take care of a bit of responding before then. This is mostly just being put up to make sure nobody worries, as I've had a few friends mention they were concerned when I vanish for a while unannounced!



Also I totally almost did upload a picture yesterday, despite both getting home super-late and needing to get to bed early. I actually got through the first three screens of the upload process, then got a lovely "FA IS DOWN! CHECK THE FORUMS FOR MORE INFO (there's not actually any info)" message instead of an upload. So I went to bed instead.

I did contribute a bit to Paw Day, though, this year. Because paws: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16605714/
Bet you can't guess which character is mine! :D

[18:55:23] VDO: Oop, I seem to have uploaded the 4096x4596 version of the full image o_o
[18:55:29] Otherperson: I JUST NOTICED o_o
[18:55:33] VDO: Hahaha
[18:55:35] VDO: I blame Sunny!
[18:55:49] Otherperson: DANGIT SUNNY YOUR TOES ARE BIGGER THAN THE ENTIRE MONITOR
[18:55:59] VDO: That's just going to encourage her!
[18:56:19] Otherperson: I actually can't get one of her toes on fully on the monitor.
[18:56:32] VDO: Eeeee <3


[18:59:21] VDO: I'll put the alt version into scraps though
[18:59:24] VDO: Actually waaaaait
[18:59:32] VDO: Hm.
[18:59:44] VDO: Should I upload the goofy-huge 4kx4k version of the alt image?
[19:00:07] Otherperson: hahaha
[19:00:10] VDO: It... Feels appropriate <3
(Upload attempt goes here)
[19:00:22] VDO: "413 Request Entity Too Large"
[19:00:35] VDO: Sunny, you have done well.


Anyway! Yeah. Three uploads today, but they were very similar images. Alternate VDO-versions of pics will generally get uploaded same-day as the originals, because why not? They'll go in scraps though. Not because I love them any less (<3), but just to help keep things organized!

I'm sure that is exactly what you were all expecting, yeah? Totally predicted.
Anyway! Yeah. I'll be uploading stuff, finally. Complete with descriptions, even. I'll only be doing one per day for now, until I feel more comfortable with my backlog- I'm only done with roughly a quarter of the descriptions I'll need to be fully caught up, after all! I have about three months before I run out, assuming I don't keep finishing more.

I'll let you all do the math on that.

Hopefully people will enjoy the resumption of the nonsense here. Have fun, all!

Specifically: TODAY.
LATER ON.

EDIT: You can specifically thank mostly  bobert and also  stampy a bit for convincing me, BTW, they are cool folks.

EDITEDIT: Ten comments in twenty minutes, okay! Guess I still have a few folks around, haha. Hopefully the very start won't be disappointing, given what'll come after.

Spoilers: It's April Fools (or will be in a bit).

EDIT: Sunnyboobs. As long as you're there, might as well check up on Sheela's journals- she lost literally almost everything she owns in an apartment fire recently, and could seriously use some help getting back up on her feet. Not an April Fool's thing, this actually real-world happened a week or two back. Be a nice person and do a helpful thing.

Is the best.

So there's this cool artist named  alef-gp who I've been friends with for a while now. He's drawn several of the latest pictures posted in my gallery, and done lots of additional art since then. He's currently even posting up a long size chain sequence he drew for  stampy and myself! You can find the start here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13887248/

He's also opening up for general commissions, too. You can see his (very affordable) prices here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13873110/
He's great at macro and crazy angles and perspectives! He comes recommended by this 'yena, who does lots of commissioning.

Y'know, in case you missed it~

I'm only halfway through the Direct and wow, Nintendo won E3 without even doing a floor conference, haha. Get bent, Ben Kuchera.

EDIT: Oh my god, Midna's in Hyrule Warriors, Maniko you must've absolutely flipped

EDIT2: Nintendo is releasing an online team-based shooter. Nintendo is releasing an online team-based shooter. I am lost and confused but in a way that is good and amazed. RE-EDIT2: With a parkour squid alternate form for everyone, of course, because this is Nintendo. RE-EDIT3: halp I'm going to create a splatoons tentacruel OC or something halp RE-EDIT A BILLION: Seriously, Nintendo Corporation has the most unique and interesting shootmans game shown at this year's E3, I could go back in time and tell myself from a year or two ago this and I'd probably never believe myself

Falcom has their CD's up on Amazon's MP3 store.

I've downloaded their stuff for years now because it's so freaking amazing, but there was no realistic way for me to get any of the original albums because their great soundtracks only got released in Japan. And now there is a legal, reasonably priced method to both obtain awesome tracks I've missed in convenient MP3 form AND pay Falcom and their Sound Team J.D.K. for all these years of fantastic music.

I think I'm about to buy 55 albums o_o

It's that time again, yeah.

Edit: Well then. Google/Nintendo teamup, wasn't expecting that.

He is taking a break. He's okay, no worries there; just needed to get some breathing space and be anti-social for a bit. I'll be back when I'm back.

Figured I should probably mention this after so long being silent.

Just had this pop up. I wasn't even logged in, I just had the blasted window open. What the hell, Microsoft, this is terrible even by your already-terrible standards.

Woooow I am behind. I know I have promised several people I'd be around online this week after work, but stuff keeps coming up that needs handling IRL. Not necessarily BAD stuff, but important, at least. I'm still doing well though! I'm not even going to pretend like I know when I'll have things sorted out well enough to return to posting stuff for my watchers as usual, but I do plan to get to them at some point. In the mean time, why don't I regale you with some good news, bad news style updates?

Good news: I have stories to post! I managed to do some stories for people who I'd promised them to over the holidays, and they will be posted publicly.
Bad news: I only have 3.5 stories. Yes, 3.5. One of them only got half finished, and even worse, it's the one about giant beefy Arcanine ladies :(=

Good news: I managed to put together and use a program I'd been meaning to create for a while now, thanks to some help from a friend. I now have saved copies of all the little description stories I've written for commissions I've uploaded. Now, in case FA has some kind of critical data loss or something, I still have those story snippets. It'll also help make it a bit easier to write new ones, since I'll have the previous ones handy locally for reference.
Bad news: Why do people keep leaving for Weasyl, Weasyl is terribleeeeeee D: Their thumbnail system is somehow almost entirely useless for getting any kind of idea at all about what sort of image you're looking at.

Good news: I have a new character! He's an Arcanine, I bet you weren't expecting that! I finally realized I didn't actually have a male character I was comfortable with using in general/various porn stuff, so I made a new one.  bobert has already drawn him a bit in his normal form, and we've got more planned!
Bad news: I have a grand total of two sentences written out for an introductory story for him, and heck knows when I'll be able to work out the rest.


So, I do still need to catch up with certain people about various things. I'm still interested in them, but I'm afraid they'll have to be on hold until I can free up enough time. Until then, take care, all, and please do enjoy, uh, either my old works or stuff from other people I guess?

Happy Stuffs, and grand tidings, etcetera.

As long as I have your attention, why don't I catch you up on the situation, in case you're interested?

I apologize if I've given the impression I'm no longer here, or vanished after the downtime, or such. Just doing my own things, mostly IRL. My plans to resume posting things between Thanksgiving and Christmas obviously fell through due to my own mistakes, but it worked out for the best anyway since the FA downtime would've hit in the middle of a specific large series. So I'm planning to resume daily postings on the first or second of the new year, depending on how hard the midnight rollover hits me.
The first several postings shall be accompanied by things.

I'm obscenely behind on viewing, faving, commenting, watching, and pretty much anything-ing on FA (To the order of 1970 messages broken down as 1864S, 13C, 68J, 23F, and 2W ), but I do have plans to correct this situation.
Also behind on writing up descriptions for commissions to post, but again, plans.

I am, as always, very much a work in progress, but I'm working on it. So thank you all for your continued attentions, and I hope you enjoy the future efforts as well. Take care!


Edit: Oh cool, make that 1971 with an extra J.

At some point during the week, I'm going to put art uploads on pause until next Monday. There's just gonna be a lot of people not looking at FA because BIG AMERICAN HOLIDAYS, and all. It wouldn't be fair to the artists to have their stuff missed underneath piles of turkeys and such.

I'll be resuming on Monday with the guaranteed one-art-a-day uploads, though, and I intend to resume it strong.

By the way, yes, I'll be breaking again for a bit around the Christmas holidays. Probably not New Year's, though.

Yes, I will definitely still be uploading art at Christmas and New Year's. We're just getting started here, folks.

I have been incredibly remiss in this. I have not been regularly uploading commissions from artists for what is starting to get way too close to half a year. So I am going to begin uploading them again, one a day, no matter what, unless there's actually someone's health involved or something. I'm gonna start with a few done by my friend Bobert for his Lassvember! art thingy, but once that's through I'm going to try to go in chronological order of commissions received, as best I can remember. There's all kinds of stuff, from some incredibly talented artists, so hopefully you'll see at least a few things you enjoy!

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/10/15/report-pokemon-x-y-glitch-affecting-lumiose-city-saves/
TL;DR: Don't save outdoors in Lumiose city (Poke-Paris) for now.

On the plus side, with Nintendo's new "LET'S NOT IGNORE THE INTERNET" strategy, there's a chance this may be patched out!

And so it has been fixed! http://en-americas-support.nintendo....._id/1061/p/430

Expect to see a bit less of me for a bit!

NOT A REQUEST STREAM!
I promised  bobert I would write him a story for an upcoming portfolio of male hyper content starring his ottor Bobert. So I'm gonna be writing that out today! Feel free to come hang out, but please remember that I'm not taking story suggestions, and this one will only be available in a pay-for portfolio when it's done.

ALSO THIS IS GONNA BE NSFW

Gonna be streaming stories again today. Feel free to come hang out! I have no clue what to write, so hopefully we can get some ideas to kick my muse up off her fat tush. SHORT STORY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE PREFERRED.
