Annnnd we're back!
Howdy folks. I hope everyone's had a good month, and that October is looking brighter! My batteries are certainly feeling refreshed after my time off, so it's time to get back to work!
So, first off, have a story - this one with work from a familiar artist around here, Zarvex3 - do check out his work here: 2022-10-05 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post
One last thing...
If I may, I'd like to ask everyone's help with a bit of market research. As I've been hinting for a while now, this month I intend to open up a limited number of longer requests at a higher tier here on patreon. Right now, the idea is I would be taking three stories of approximately 4-5k words in length on each month.
But now I need to work out how to price this ti...
2022-10-05 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostAlright folks, I'm moving this one forward a few weeks. As I've mentioned before, I hate that shorts are requested in one month, and delivered in another, so, we're going to be doing them on the first Wednesday of the month from now on!
I get that this is a change and folks might miss it, so don't worry, if you need to send your request in late, go right on ahead and message it to me dire...
2022-10-05 17:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostHi folks!
Phew, is September nearly over already? Well I guess that means my break is coming to an end. Having now rested (ish) for a few weeks... Yeah, I definitely needed that. I may start scheduling to take a month off for every three months on, and see how that works for me for the moment. It's a shame patreon makes it kind of difficult to take less than a month off at a time, you kno...
2022-09-28 17:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, so! I know I'm on a break. Really, I know, I swear...
But I really didn't want to leave you guys without anything this week, so I asked a friend if I could write something short based on one of their art pieces. Hope folks enjoy!

Hi folks!
So, I'm still on break. Trying to get in the hang of this 'rest' thing people have told me about. And while I don't have a story for you today, I do have a nifty piece of art to show off!
Some very long time subscribers might remember that I used to hold votes to see which stories of mine should get art commissioned - a practice I had to abandon after a few too many bad ex...

How's things going out there? I hope everyone's doing well. I guess not much has happened over the past week for me to comment on, so I've been working away on writing (though I did get pressured to go see the new Dragonball Super movie, and it was fantastic).
This week's story is thanks to a very patient commissioner! I hope folks enjoy, and barring any mishaps I'll see y...
2022-08-24 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe time has arrived again for shorts! Last month's 'Aim for 1k' rule generally resulted in stuff that was about 1-2k, which is about ideal for the time constraints I have, and the cost, so I'll be continuing with that! I hope everyone's requests turn out well - I'll certainly do my best for them.
(And another quick reminder - I'll be taking next month off, and then very likely running th...

Well, the weather out here is still pretty crazy, but at least it's crazy with water pouring from the sky instead of the incredible heatwave we've been having. Makes a change, you know?
As I've mentioned before, I'll be taking September off to recharge my writing batteries (after several people I know very unrelated to each other basically demanded I do so, some getting pr...

I hope all is well out there. Unfortunately a few family issues have prevented me from having the fic I'd planned to have for you today (Everyone's fine, don't worry, but it did murder my sleep schedule) so, instead, I have a piece I've been looking for a place to put up, especially after I got some fantastic Zarvex3 art for it. So, enjoy! And for those at the right Tier, don't ...

It was too nice a day to waste spent cooped up indoors, and she’d always been more of the outdoorsy type – albeit, a fashionable outdoorsy type!

I hope all is well out there. The weather's started to cool a bit over here, thank god. Shorts are going well, so look forward to them next week - but for now, the last of last month's requests!
Also, as an advance notice, I'm planning to take a September off (under heavy advisement from other Patreon friends) to revitalize my batteries. this shouldn't affect August, and I...
2022-07-27 17:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostAlright folks, here we go - as a reminder, I'll actually be trying to keep things short this month, roughly 1000 words or less.
Here are the rules:
I'll write you a small story of a couple of hundred words/a few paragraphs, based on a prompt you suggest. One prompt per patron, and preferably it should be TF or MC themed, or both, and adhering to my general commission ...
2022-07-20 17:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostIt was surprisingly hard to kill a demon king.
Okay, when put like that, devoid of context and perspective, it didn’t sound like such an easy thing to do. But one must remember, the idea of slaying the big bad evil guy has become a lot more common place than it used to be. Once upon a time, such concepts were the ground of the grandest epics, of tales told by bards in taverns, or preser...

Jebus it is hot out there at the moment. I've been managing to keep relatively cool, but it has been pretty hard to work this week. Fortunately it looks like it's going to cool down now. hopefully we won't see another flare up like that for a while (would be nice if we stopped destroying the planet and causing these things...)
Anyways, have some stories - and as it's the t...

Well, I'm still not up to full speed, sadly. Kind of expected, but I hoped otherwise, so once again only three stories this week. This is why I'm going to be shortening shorts this month!
