Tanya shivered as she rushed down the sidewalk, a hurried hitch in her step. The meerkat woman never acclimated to Midwestern weather, despite spending a majority of her life up north.

The smell of brimstone and charred flesh creates a miasma that makes your blood run cold. The smoke eventually parts, revealing what lies ahead; a veritable trove of glittering gems and glimm...
2021-03-13 18:56:37 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! This will probably be a rehash of the last post, but I prefer being transparent over keeping silent.
Anyway, I have the first couple of parts of A Rodent of Unusual Size (and yes, that will be the title because I find that more exciting than an acronym) just about ready to go, with the third episode ready for proofreading, and the rest of the first ma...
Sorry about the quiet as of late, but wanted to let everyone know I'm hard at work on the next serial which should start up next month, so payments should resume as normal. I do plan on throwing up a think piece or two in the coming weeks in preparation for what's to come.
Thank you again for being patient with me, and I promise to make this all worth the wait!
Well, *one* R.O.U.S. in particular, whether she wants to be or not. :)
I'm still in the preliminary stages for my next serial (because while I am still resting up from Dogs Chase Squirrels, you never really *stop* writing), which will feature a new character, a new setting, and hopefully a new challenge for me to dive into -- at my own pace.
Admittedly, the idea st...
2021-01-24 16:18:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey, everyone! I'm still taking some downtime after finishing up the serial, and I'd feel bad about charging you all without something to show for it, so I've made the decision to freeze February's payment cycle. You shouldn't be charged for next month.
I'm slowly poking at some thoughts about what to do next, and when I have something I want to sink my teeth into, I'll let yo...

She looks away, flustered, trying to avoid eye contact as she beats a hasty retreat. The cougar grins as he watches her leave, staring at her cute ass and fluffy tail; all of it tucked away in a red Santa’s Helper costume, with the skirt cut just a bit too short. Over t...

My horror-themed A.I. story, Command, is finished and will be up for $5 supporters this Saturday, with access to $3 supporters the following week. Dogs Chase Squirrels resumes October 10th, and (hopefully) will need no further breaks until the fina...
2020-10-01 12:29:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe road towards completing Dogs Chase Squirrels has been long and fraught with periods of struggle, but through a lot of perseverance, we’ve made it to the end of the second major act of the serial. This arc was a tough one, both for the cast and for myself, and as you’ve noticed, I’ve been taking more frequent breaks in order to recharge and get the creative juice...

Yet, here he was, staring at the trail that led deeper into the woods, his bushy tail flicking back and forth.
He didn’t tell anyone where he was going. His friends were too bu...

Originally, it was just supposed to be a wolf staring at the night sky, but with this being me, I decided to make it a little bit more than that. I wanted to write something, short, sweet, cute and a little bit sad, but hopefully fun to peruse all the same. I gave this a quick edit,...
2020-07-25 18:10:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey, folks. I think I'm hitting another burnout point with the serial, and with writing in general. I think it's best if I step away for a bit, clear my head.
There won't be a post this Saturday. If I feel that I'll need more time, I'll let you know. Thank you for being patient with me.

Hello, everyone!
So, as you've noticed, I don't have a serial post for this week, and I do apologize. Again, I won't make excuses -- it's been a hard few weeks, and I did come across a bit of writer's block that slowed things down.
That being said, I think I've found my muse again (in more ways than one), and I've been tackling the next part in earnest, and am eagerly plannin...

The buck grumbled quietly, scratching his nose in an effort to ignore the terrible itching around the base of his antlers -- their growth had only ramped up since spring began, and the velvety skin had yet to break around the protrusions, adding to his irritation. It didn’t help that his ears had yet to pop, giving him a dull headache to boot....
2020-05-02 17:03:34 +0000 UTC View PostThis week kicked my butt. I just completed training to assist a department that's getting overburdened with requests, which left my brain completely full two days ago, and with no energy to do anything whatsoever.
I was hoping to get She's a Big Deal ready tomorrow, but that has not happened, and I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. I'll aim for next Sat...

Since it’s been a while since I’ve talked to you all directly, and because there is a lot happening right now (both inside and outside the life of pretending to be an ever-growing power vixen), I want to take an opportunity to touch base and let you know what’s going on. It’ll be mostly good news, I pr...
2020-04-19 15:42:48 +0000 UTC View PostForrester Library was busy tonight, much to Irene’s surprise.
The main foyer was small and quaint, with several portraits aligned on the wall, leading to a door a short distance away. Upon opening the door, the library opened up, extending around her in all directions, its open space adorned with bookshelves, filled to the brim with books old and new. In the center of ...

Her arm reached out to flip the bird at the driver as she passed them by. Her moped was still a champ during the winter months, whether it was on surface or highway, and the last thing she needed was someone who didn’t know how to drive in clear c...
