Congrats  redol and thanks for entering everyone!

I just hit 750 followers (holy shit thank you, I got 14 followers in the last two weeks alone), and I said I would do a raffle for 750 the last time I did a raffle, so here goes!

I’ll take entries through Wednesday February 26 12 AM EST on this journal. One winner will receive a free 1,500-word story involving my characters. We’ll hash out more details when someone wins.

To enter, please comment on this journal with your favorite convenience store snack. One entry per person, please. I’ll set up a random draw once Wednesday rolls around. Thanks for the support!

I'll be in Boston this weekend for ANE with friends! We'll be staying in the Revere across the street from the con hotel. If you want to say hi, drop me a note or just look for the JT fursuit! We've also got Anthroholics live events Saturday night at 11pm (podcast taping) and Sunday at 3 p.m. (trivia)!

Worked through my outstanding commission list, so I'm free to take commissions if anyone's interested!

Want to ring in the new year with a story? I’m open for story commissions! I’d ask those interested to note me with their story idea.

I expect I’ll be busy with IRL work starting in February and continuing through May, so now may be the best time if you’ve been wanting to get something.

Please see my pinned journal for more info. If you’re interested send me a note!

It's a time for celebration and remembering, and with that, I can't deny 2019 was the best year of my life.

Got a new job with regular hours, good benefits and great people on January 10, and that kinda set the tone for the rest of the year. The increased pay, lowered stress and great vacation time gave me the work-life balance I've been craving, and after some adjusting to crunch time in the spring, it was smooth sailing. I was able to move away from my prior apartment, which at first was good but developed an intolerable pest problem, and into a new apartment in a great location - it's a six-minute door-to-door walk to a local multiplex. I also live in the shopping district, which means there's a shitload of good food...

That additional money and time allowed me to go to four cons this year: ANE, AC, Tiny Paws and Furpocalypse. ANE was very cool and was the first time I publicly suited; AC was thrilling, and led to me impulse-buying my partial fursuit; Tiny Paws is a delightful small con and really showed the successful scale of small vs. big cons; Furpoc was a great opportunity to check in with friends and suit with Elana, which was super fun. I also started DJing at cons, and am now staff DJ at Camp Tiny Paws, which is amazing! Another DJ experience didn't go so hot due to security overstepping boundaries, but I won't stop now!

I'm also really thankful to have made more friends in the furry community, whether they're friends from cons, Twitter or writing circles. I'm also thankful to have found a second family in the Set, and I love all of my friends in there.

Furry writing-wise, I wrote less this year than last year. Part of that was out of a reduced amount of free time with the new job, part of it was due to life/work emergencies pulling me away from writing, and part of that was due to lessened financial strain and a lowered need to take *every* commission I'm pitched. I still blasted past my word count goal and am quite happy with my output this year, between the commissioned stories and the personal projects. By my count, including a few commissions I got where I added a story, I wrote 26 stories this year and wrote just under 180,000 words of furry content. What was your favorite?

For 2020, I'm trying to set a few goals. Foremost is that I want to try and create some long-tail revenue for my writing. That means possibly story packs, Patreon or collaborations with others. Additionally, I'm interested in getting a full fursuit - I love my suit, but I am craving getting a chance to get a real JT made uniquely for me and embody him. My third goal is *just* a bit awkward - I've put on some weight in the second half of this year and I'm trying to decide whether I should lose it or... maybe gain a little. This is the third consecutive year I've written a story about gaining around New Year's... nah, I'll get back in the gym Wednesday. Maybe someday, though...

I wish everyone a successful and joyous 2020!

What better way to bring in the new year than a story commission from me? I'm opening some slots on Wednesday, so keep an eye out!

I have one last story this year that I'm planning to finish tomorrow afternoon, so please look forward to that! It's a fun one! Once that's out and I can see what my furry-specific word count was this year, I'll have a year-end wrapup journal discussing 2019 and 2020.

Just wanted to wish everyone a very happy holiday today, and no matter what you’re doing, I hope your day is great. Special shout out to everyone who has to work today, I know how tough it is and thank you for doing what you’re doing.

I'm just about done with the last story in my queue and can take some pitches for commission stories. I'll be writing these through the month of December along with my gift for the fatfur Secret Santa. Please send me a note if you're interested and we can discuss from there. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8670119/

I’d also potentially be interested in using one of these slots for a trade, depending on interest. I’d primarily be looking for art in exchange for a story but would be willing to hear offers.

I wish you and yours a wonderful holiday. Furry has become such a great part of my life, and I’m thankful to have all you fuzzbutts.

Hey folks, just wanted to put up a quick reminder that the weight gain drive I’m holding with my friend Yumi ( captainkobold) is continuing through this weekend, Saturday night, at midnight!

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/33776482/

While I’ve already put on a few hundred pounds, there’s plenty of room left to go and grow. Plus, the top 5 donors get to add a comment to the drive’s chat, and the top donor (currently at $20 for this round) will get to be in the picture with me, feeding me or doing whatever you want (within reason).

There’s info on the submission listed above, but if you wish to donate directly, please send payment to PayPal.me/captainkobold, then send info in a note to Yumi on her page, linked above, whether it’s a chat comment or your character’s references.

I really want to help her out, and so far while we got some donations, I know she could use some more assistance, so if you are interested in feeding me or just helping out the best kobold I know, please make a donation!

Hey everyone, with Halloween fun over, I want to take a second and remind y’all that I’m the subject of a weight gain drive to help out my friend Yumi ( Captain_Kobold). The top donor gets to appear with me in the next picture, making me fatter, and right now we have a three-way tie for first! Even if you can’t donate, favoriting and commenting will add to the gains, so please check it out! Information for donating to Yumi is available in the picture’s description! This part of the drive continues through November 5.

I’ll be at FurPoc in CT this weekend Thursday through Saturday, possibly Sunday depending on IRL circumstances. If you see my fursuit, say hi! Otherwise I’ll be the bearded white dude with the gelled bangs... there will probably be a few folks like that so you can also just get in touch online.

I’m also DJing Thursday night from 9-10pm, the first dance slot of the weekend. I’ve spent the last few weeks building a pretty solid set, and I’m hoping it’ll lead to a lot of dancing furries.

That’s it! See you there!

I’m happy to announce that I’m taking story commissions! It’s been a bit since I opened for comms, and I’ve had a few people already reach out to me, so here’s how this one goes down: if you’re interested, please send me your story pitch through a note. You can be as detailed if you’d like; whether you want me to follow a heavy outline or you’d prefer for me to come up with a story on my own, please don’t hesitate. I’ll be accepting pitches through notes from now through Sunday at noon. You’ll hear from me by Sunday evening if I’m selecting your pitch.

I currently have 5,000 outstanding words owed to a client, and will use this weekend to finish that project. I expect that I’ll start on this batch of comms around/by October 1. I expect, depending on potential workload, that this batch would take me through Halloween. (Spooky!)

I’ve had a lot less writing time this year compared to last - my overall output is on pace to drop 50 percent from last year - and I don’t want to leave people waiting. I also want to make sure I’ll be done well before the holiday season, as there will be chunks of time I’ll be completely unable to write then, and that’s no good. As a result I can’t guarantee I can take every pitch. I expect depending on how much workload I’ll be taking on, I’ll open four or five slots.

My pinned journal (https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8670119/) includes most of the details, but I charge $12.50 per 1,000 words and specialize in furry weight gain stories, though I have written other topics. I’m game to write most concepts, but reserve the right to turn down pitches.

Whether you’re a new follower or someone who’s been a fan of my stuff for a while, if you’re looking for a fat story, this is your chance!

Special discounts for folks who read all the way to the end, subject to pitch approval:
10% discount if you want to use any of my characters
10% discount for Halloween stories

This is an advance alert that I will open for commissions tomorrow, September 27, at 8:30 am EST. I’ll have more information in the journal I post then. The commissions I take would be written starting in October and possibly continue into November depending on how many I end up taking. I may not be able to take every pitch I get accordingly. I’ll be asking for folks to send me a note with character references, story ideas and ideal story length. See you all tomorrow!

I will have more details as we come closer to its start, but I am pleased to tease that I’ll be collaborating with a friend of mine on a weight gain drive starring JT starting in the next few weeks! It will feature plenty of audience participation including voting on plotlines and highest bidders appearing in pictures!

Yeah, I said pictures. Gonna do this thing right.

I still need to finish the plot tree I’m developing - it has 16 paths depending on how votes go - but I’m very excited to see what happens!

Super cool to get this much support. My next raffle will be at 750, so tell your friends!

Haven’t gotten a lot of questions on recent TMI Tuesdays but let’s change that! AMA!

I’ve got a firm group of commissions lined up and just set up an art trade, so I figured why not try a few more! I’ve got room for two art trades on my schedule. I’m looking to do story-for-artwork trades, so apologies to other writers. If you’re interested, send me a note and we can start hashing things out!

Hey all! Right now I have a few commissions I’m working on, then when those are done a few weeks down the road, I’d like to hold a charity donation weight gain drive! I did one of these last summer, with Star Fox and Star Wolf, and it went great; I raised $288, half of which went to the New York Wolf Conservation Center, the other half of which I was able to use to purchase a Nintendo Switch (and given how much fun I’ve had with that this past year, what a great drive that was!)

As the title above explains, I’m planning on doing another, possibly even making it an annual thing. I believe, right now, I’d like to donate to the NYWCC again because wolves rule (I know by experience) but I have two questions I’d like to ask:

-What kind of charity should I donate to if not the NYWCC?
-Who should I use in this story? JT and Gemie, or media characters like Nick and Judy, Sly and Carmelita, Mordecai and Rigby? I’d like to see what would generate the most interest.

I’ll have more details on this soon, but please leave feedback if you can!

I’m trying to get back into a normal writing rhythm for fatfur stories , but my imagination is grinding. Please send me some weight gain questions on CuriousCat to help inspire me!

https://curiouscat.me/JtWulv1

I filled two slots, that’s solid for now; will post as i finish them!

I’m taking a few slots over the next few days! Please note me or get in touch over social media (I’m youcrazyforthis on Telegram and Twitter) if you’re interested! My commission guidelines can be found here http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8670119/ and if you have other questions just ask!

Leaving at like 4am Thursday to go to Pittsburgh, and I’ll be there with Adrion and another friend. Not sure if he’s in it for the anthropological study of furries or if we’ve infected him with the pathowogen.

Regardless, we’re staying at the Marriott. If you want to meet up, please get in touch with me through note, Twitter, Discord, etc. I’ll be attending panels, potentially dressing up like a six foot badger, we’ll be playing it by ear and will be at the con Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning due to traffic and employment. Looking forward to seeing what this is all about!

I’ll be finishing moving out of my apartment today and tomorrow, but please AMA in the meantime before I hop on the long road to AC Thursday!
