Progress Update: 11/8/18

Hello, everyone! I'm not sure how much time I'm going to have tomorrow, since I'm SCUBA diving, so I'm doing the progress update a day early.

Right now, I'm with family on a trip, but I brought my laptop along so I could continue to do work and research while I'm gone. I was expecting this last phase of research to take a bit longer, but things are going quite quickly, and I plan on starting the script before I return home (before the next progress update). I'm tentatively scheduling this vide...

Sheet Music for Down the Rabbit Hole: Owlin' Wolf

Hello everyone! You might have noticed that there was an extra name in the credits of  the last Down the Rabbit Hole. Ryan Probert has begun composing original pieces specifically for the show, and he's given me permission to share the sheet music for some of the tracks with all of you. This one is Owlin' Wolf, which made an appearance in the Furries episode.

Progress Update: 11/4/18

Hey guys! As I was gone for much of the last week, there's not a ton to report. Got a little bit of research done for the next episode. I'm going to be flying out again next week (schedules lined up super weird for me) but I'll be working while I'm gone, so I should be able to provide another progress report next week, though it'll be in text by necessity. I'll see you all soon!

Audiobook: A Modest Proposal

Enjoy, everyone. This was a bunch of fun to do.

Progress Update: 10/22/18

Notes:

Watched/skimmed through over 500 videos last week for the new Down the Rabbit Hole

No progress update this Friday since I'll be gone at Furpocalypse, giving a talk, capturing B-roll footage, and recording interviews

Q&A with Guru Larry and Geoff recorded, going to try to get it live before I leave

The Distended Eye, my old book

Largely for archival purposes, I'm making my book The Distended Eye available to the public. While I'm not terribly proud of it anymore, it goes against my archival instinct to bar it entirely from the scrutiny of readers, and so I'm offering it for free as a PDF. It's definitely a sophomoric effort in my eyes, but people have told me they enjoy it.

Progress Update: 10/13/18

Notes:

Progress on next DtRH continues, a patron who is knowledgeable in a field covered by the episode is helping me so I can give a layer of understanding that very few other places could give on this.

Furpocalypse panel is written! Many thanks to Arcaxon for the help!

Wrote another chapter for Red Hive Skyline. Sorry it got delayed! Artists just needed more time. Just part of working with a team.

Dracula: Chapter 1

Here you guys go! Chapter 1 of Dracula, with some extra music and ambiance provided by my good friend Ryan Garside.

There were two main reasons I wanted to start recording audiobooks for you all. The first was that I wanted some way to show my thanks to those supporters who have the means and the will to help support me a little more than most. The second was that I wanted a chance to practice my narration, since I feel it's my weakest aspect.

Reading a book, especially one published in ...

Progress Update: 9/28/18

Notes:

Script for Down the Rabbit Hole is done, estimated release is late next week.

The special project I've been talking about has a release date of October 7th, though this is subject to minor change. This is the day my producers wanted, and I have no objections.

I'm recording the audiobook for $10+ patrons today, should be out by Sunday, so if you were planning on cancelling your pledge, you'll still get the Dracula Chapter 1 audiobook.

Progress Update: 9/23/18

Notes:

Outline for script is done, but guest host is busy so waiting on him to finalize script.

Doing research for Down the Rabbit Hole after this one to get a head-start while I wait.

Been working on the creative project as well, should be releasing in about a week.

Audiobooks are Coming! (And I Want YOUR Input)

As you all have probably noticed, my reward tiers are remarkably sparse. The chief reason for this is because I haven't wanted to take time away from working on videos to produce things outside of my core content.

However, I think that the time has finally come for a change (and yes, I'm aware that change out of me comes at a glacial pace). It's exactly as the title says: I want to start producing audiobooks again. I used to do so waaaaaaaay back in the day, but I was doing th...

Glad you guys like the audio format! I'll use it from here on out.

Notes:

Progress updates are moving to Fridays

Much of my work last week went into the new creative project.

Meeting with cameo partner Wednesday to discuss next topic

Time to bury myself in this thing at last.

Progress Update: 8/29/1`8

Notes:

Just got back from a week-long vacation, so not a ton of progress to talk about.

Working on a story delivered entirely through Twitter, will likely have a contract signed tomorrow with the company. More details next week.

Next DtRH will be my second crossover ever.

He's done much of the research already, so the production time for this video should be shorter.

Mini progress update now, full progress update tomorrow!

Hey everyone! I know I'm a day late, but I was mega tired after getting home from my trip to Canada. (A 7 hour drive on the highway with one of the windows stuck open will take a lot out of you) I just wanted to assure you all that I hadn't forgotten about the progress update. Now that I'm more settled in my apartment, I want to start doing them as video updates again, which I'll film tomorrow. While I didn't get any work on the next DtRH done, I did get some work done on something else during m...

No Progress Update Next Week

Furries: Q&A Question Collection

The time has come! If you have a particular question about the new video, having to do with the subject itself or the process, leave it here! If a question is somehow unsuitable, I'll leave a reply so you can have a chance to change it.

I will be gone all of next week, but I want to leave this up long enough to make sure everyone gets a chance, so I'll likely make the response video the week of the 26th.

What a satisfying date.

Progress on the next video comes along a bit behind schedule, but it's coming along. A few days in the past week have been dedicated to moving all of my stuff (not that much, but enough to need a few extra sets of arms). However, trying to set up internet has been a nightmare; working with Frontier has been a Kafkaesque maze of incompetence and inadequacy, and I've lost significant time for no payoff. Right now, my desktop is set up in a house with internet, and I'm com...

Progress Update: 7/31/18

WE'RE ALMOST HOME, GIRLS AND BOYS.

My last week has been a flurry of trying to get things squared away with my new apartment (things got dicey there for a minute) and desperately following a couple more trails in this rabbit hole to complete the script. (Like I said, it just keeps getting deeper) I've found some ancient UseNet posts that're just gonna make your day. I'm not gonna lie, I'm really stressed and tired, but I'm gonna get this out to you all one way or another SOON. Tomorrow, Arcaxo...
