For The Views

Happy October!  I hope to have lots of fun stuff this month and I'm kicking it off here on the 1st :)  Enjoy!

Tae-Eun stirred on her futon.  Her neighbors moved around her, their voices barely muffled through the thin walls separating the apartments.  She turned with a long suffering sigh before tapping on her phone where it rested on its charging stand.  Now she groaned and shoved her face into her pillow to muffle the sounds of an ir...

Halloween Story

Let's all talk about what y'all would like to see for a Halloween story!

Oh. 

That's it. 

Talk about what story you'd like me to put together for Halloween next month!  Just reply here and comment on others and like the ones you like.  You can put a long scenario with your prompt, but please be aware that I may pick and choose things.

In the end, I'll figure out the ones I like and probably have the $10+ tier vote.

A Form Of Relaxation

And the second thing I wrote yesterday afternoon - a capybara TF!  I hope y'all enjoy it :)

Kate knelt and watched the capybaras lounging in the onsen beyond the trees.  Steam rose in glorious waves away from the water and the brown-furred animals floated in closed-eyed bliss.  Silver moonlight bathed the entire area in an eerie glow.

It was forbidden, or at least greatly frowned upon, to bother the animals while they bathed. &nbs...

Retribution

Life interfered this week (jury duty and other stuff) and I also put some long needed work in on Kismet so I was crunched for writing time.  This morning I asked for a creature to TF and I'd spend some time in the afternoon writing it.  Well, I picked the one (rhino) and one more (capybara!) and wrote both in about 4 hours.  Here's the rhino story and the capybara will be out tomorrow!  I should have more time to write the next two weeks so wooo!

A Night To Remember

Hi - I wrote this as a quick little thing for wwbot because he's great.  That's all.  Plus I wanted a quick story for y'all today.  So, this was it!

Her laptop spilled soft light out over the papers surrounding it.  She'd dimmed the lights in her home office just minutes ago when a small headache began to threaten her.

Streaks of gold shot through her brown irises....

Illustration: Primal

She could feel it inside of her as if it were a living creature burrowing deeper and deeper throughout her entire body.

Every beat of her heart pushed against her.  Testing her physical boundaries.  Seeking a way out.  A monstrous beast straining against the feeble flesh surrounding it.  She staggered, dropping her purse and keys just inside the apartment as her door closed behind her.

Dr. Bhatt fell to her kn...

Call for poll illustrations tomorrow in Discord

Tomorrow morning at 7 am PST I'll be calling for the next set of stories & scenes to use for the illustration poll.  So, stop by the Feral Enclosure channel and give me a story name and scene you'd like the $10 tier people to vote on.  I'll only accept those requested there and only tomorrow!

Sweet Revenge

This took a while.  Lots of different animals are always difficult for me.  In case you're wondering, as you read, the delivered foods include:  "Bitch Cookies, Mare Muffins, Cockolate Eclairs, Cow Tails, Fish Waffles (taiyaki), goat cheese"  The last of the last round of poll winning snippets!  I hope you enjoy!

The book was stolen from her great grandmother, a kindly old woman who lived alone on acres of land bordering a massive fore...

An update and don't forget to add your idea on Discord!

I may not be able to post a story until Monday but I'm doing my best to try for today.

If you're on the $5+ crowd, don't forget to stop into the feral enclosure channel to add your appropriate story idea!  You have until midnight tonight!

Coming up this week and September

Hi!

Super busy with life and things so I haven't been around on Discord, apologies!  I've been having to focus on working and taking care of things at home while working on writing as I have time.  Doesn't leave room for much else.

I'm hoping to finish two things this week, but I may run into roadblocks.  Still going to try.  If it works, that'll be the last of the poll winning stories and (fingers crossed) a late chapter 2 for Hair of the Dog.  Hopefully!...

Breeding

One more of the winning poll entries suggested by the $5+ tiers and voted on by the $10 tier!  

The television - a recent splurge of an upgrade to an OLED model - paints the dark living room in shifting multicolored lights that are occasionally interrupted by near perfect darkness in between scenes.

Creatures of the Night

This was the other story I wrote last Friday alongside the horse story - since they were both leading in the $10 tier poll generated by the $5+ crowd.  The description from the patron was:  "I have a hankering for bats, so I was thinking something similar to the paladin werewolf inspired by Ravenloft - a vampire huntress (or hunter, I'm fine with a male perspective), finally tracks down what she thinks is a vampire, only to discover that vampire is actually a werebat wh...

A Dreamlike Date

I saw that the horse story and werebat story were leading in the poll I posted (which isn't really finished yet) so I thought I would write both today since I knew that I wouldn't be able to finish the Beauty and the Beast story.  The werebat story will be out next week, potentially Monday!  I really appreciate everyone who has voted so far and want to remind those that haven't (but can) to vote as well!

Stop by the "Feral Enclosure" channel on Discord to throw out illustration ideas!

Today and tomorrow stop by the "Feral Enclosures" channel to toss out requests for the next piece of art.  It has to be from one of my stories and you're welcome to mention a specific scene.  Put emojis on ones you like if you're feeling bold.

I'll take the ideas and compile them into a poll for the $10 tier to vote on and the winner will go on to be illustrated.

Don't respond here since I'd like to keep this on Discord.

Thanks!

Slow Burn

From the wonderful and amazing Navajas/Gala comes this beautiful piece of art from Slow Burn.
Funny story.  The "caption" text is nearly half the size of the entire Slow Burn story.  I literally have no idea how that happened since Slow Burn is a pretty long story at 10k words.  So, uhh, I hope you like it!

Let's talk rewards and what's coming - please be sure to read, especially the $5 and $10+ tiers!

Hey there!

So, first up, if you're a $10+ tier, please read.  I'm about to adjust the rewards and that means losing the big one - snippet stories.  I'm struggling to complete these on time and I feel like that's not fair for people at that level.

Therefore, I'm going to be adjusting the reward beginning in August.  Perhaps if things even out a little bit, I'll look at adding it back, but for now, it's guilt tripping me which only adds to the stress I'm under.

Bliss

Hi!  I wasn't going to share this since I figure I'd done enough werewolf TFs with some foot focus, but then I figured what the heck.  I wrote it a month or so ago based off of a WIP piece from wwbot when we were just chatting a bit.  It's short but perhaps someone will enjoy it.

"I'm not an animal," she panted, hands gripping the edges of her sink.  "I'm not-augh!"

Pain wracked her body.  She clenched her teeth together while gr...

Hair Of The Dog Ch. 01

From the snippet requests a month ago. Splitting it up since it was taking longer than I'd wanted.  
This is loosely based off of a great piece of art from Kari here:  https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26977280/

Library Wolf

I wrote this in about 5 minutes to take a break from editing the sheep story.  Shared it on Discord, figured I'd share here, too.  Just a little distraction.  Can't have sheep without a wolf.

"If you take too long, it'll be our fault instead of hers," she said, scratching at the thin black hairs on her neck.  She growled and coughed and licked her nose.  "Come on.  I need your dick. It's been an hour since you fucked me and that's...

In Sheep's Clothing

Another of the little snippet things.  I was asked to make something like the werewolf stories I write with changes that linger to the physical body and the mental aspects.  Only with a sheep.  Soooo...

Nature Calls

One of the short write-a-thon stories.  A quickie but I hope y'all enjoy it!

"This was a mistake," Vivian said while brushing a thin stick from her bangs.  She grabbed it and stuck her tongue out when she saw the mottled green moss covering half of it.  Dirt smeared across her chin when she rubbed the back of her hand against her face.

Lucas turned to her, anxious to say something, anything, but words failed him. ...

Small Update

Hello!

Stopping in for a small update.  I'll start posting stories again beginning tomorrow (Monday) and moving forward.  Going to slowly get back into the groove of things and see how it's going.

I should also have the commissioned art (along with the written caption) available this month  - it's from Slow Burn and it's pretty great, honestly.

Still working things out but should be getting back into stuff a little bit at a time here.

July and story call

Hi there!

So, still feeling drained and trying to get a handle on my changed work schedule to get everything figured out so I can be in a good place writing.

I'll be calling for $5+ tier story ideas this coming Tuesday, July 6th.  

Next posted thing will also be coming up next week.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Mirror Image

Having said all that about burning out, werewolves are my first love so here's a thing I wrote today.  It was supposed to be shorter but I kept adding a little to it.

She sat on the floor in front of the angled mirror she'd purchased earlier that day.  Staring at herself.  Her legs were splayed out before her with her hands stroking the carpet to her sides.  Kneading the pile by clenching and unclenching her fingers.  The nails tipping...

Nearly burned myself out there...

Just a heads up in case I seem quiet lately.  After the crazy amount of recent content as well as the large number of longer stories, I realized I nearly burned myself out.  

I'm going to take it a little easy for a little bit here and ease up until I'm feeling a little less like burning everything to the ground.  That doesn't mean you'll see a huge gap in content but just that I need to relax just a bit.  And I wanted to give y'all a little warning.

Discord prompts this Thursday!

I'll be calling for the $5+ tier one-day-write-a-thon writing prompts this coming Thursday (PST) so be sure to stop in on Discord to throw out your idea and "vote" (by using emojis) on ideas you like.  As long as you post on Thursday, regardless of the time, the idea will be considered.

This is a test to see if I want to implement this as a permanent reward for the $5+ tiers so we'll see how it goes!
