Hey look it's a leap year!

How often to I get to post on February 29th? How often do I have a GP appointment on February 29th? Both at once?! Wow!

Seriously though. Labs taken late last moth were just shy of "how are you even alive." Since then I've quit caffeine again. If you ever want to do that, the cheat code seems to be a combination of blood pressure meds and being on another vasoconstrictor.

I clocked my lowest measured blood pressure ever on Tuesday. A friend considers it "elevated," and it technica...

APS dev bits and early draft

I wish I had more to show at the moment. It's been a rough month, and hopefully a net positive. I'm finally transitioning from the Missouri clinic I went to from 2019 through mid 2023 to receiving medical care in Oregon. It looks like this will finally include an ADHD assessment - something that I've needed since 1987.

Making all of that happen was a weird mix of completely impossible and unbelievably easy and honestly if the medical entity that handles me hadn't called to as...

A Practical Succubus (this bit effectively complete, markdown)

This is either chapter one of a novel or, like my XIV fanfic, the first short story in a sequence that will knit together into a larger narrative. Probably both.

I finished the (I guess it's a) chapter this morning, sent copies out to some friends, and woke up to a list of excellent editing suggestion from FunWithNix. I've implemented those, and, wow, I am really happy with the results! 2024-01-02 01:32:52 +0000 UTC View Post

"A Practical Succubus" (WIP, raw markdown)

This is... maybe 3/5 done at this point. I've been on a roll with it; I'm posting what I have now pre-emptively, as I'm probably not going to be able to finish the story until January 1st or 2nd.

This is original urban fantasy; a story about a deeply closeted transwoman who, thanks to a typo, summons a succubus that gives them their hearts desire - transition.

Whatever's developing here feels like it has enormous potential; this is the first from-scratch thing I've written that is...

"Cozy" (Pencils)

Art! FINALLY, ART! Brought to you by a Patreon supporter; finished piece to follow in January!

This might get a redraw; depends on how my "pre-inks" pass goes. My first production line art in quite awhile! I had *scheduled* this for earlier in the week but a writing thing took over. I'm posting that next!

Blank Verse Experiments, 2023.11

Nothing horny here, though things are very slowly heading in that direction.

I went through a major mental health crisis recently; I'm still recovering. I've been working on getting a contract I've had since 2011 mothballed; that's been the gateway to getting my head back into a productive space. I've been experimenting with blank verse, of a sort - feeling out rhythm in prose.

Flow is important.

I'm still working on stuff that's going straight to AO3, as it's under a fandom...

NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow; I don't know if I've got a novel in me but I think I can do a novella, or a smutty longer-than-short short story.

Per the previous poll and my own inclinations it'll be kinky queer sci-fi.

I could use some input on the kink!

Your thoughts on creative direction?

Select all the answers that you vibe with. ^^

Which would you prefer...

Weal in Woe chapter nine (edited)

Okay that's all of it - I'll be posting the whole thing publicly... soon, probably!

So, uh... how do you feel about my writing?

Weal in Woe Chapters 6-8 (edited)

I haven't gotten around to publicly posting what I've written beyond chapter 3 yet, so y'all get to see them first! One more chapter and this romance is complete! 💃

I'm sorry this is so last minute, and I'm sorry the past few months have been so... sparse, on my end. It's been rough. And I still have a lot to do. But the major thing for this month (September) was the FFXivWrite2023 writing challenge. The major thing for October is going to be... executive function. Getting back to ar...

Weal in Woe, Chapters 1-5 (edited) and 6 (raw)

In markdown format, like previous writing posts. This expanded from six chapters to nine so it's not done yet but it will be soon I hope!

I did a major interstate move over the past month or so - packed up on July 26th, spent the 27th through August 1st in New Mexico, and have been in the PDX (Portland Metro) since then, adapting and dealing with the fact that I have been seriously burned out by the events of the past couple of months. I'm also struggling a LOT with the fact that I have...

Another Beautiful Day in the Sustenance Corps

Patreon supporter art for TheProducer that I (fortunately, it turns out) forgot to post last month. Story here!

I have been SUPER stressed and busy the past couple of months - I'm preparing to move at the end of July and this week was committing to it and it was a real spoon drainer but I'm through that part of it now. I have a new batch of commissions in production and hope to have something original to ...

An Afternoon in the Garden

Art of a catgirl cutie for longtime supporter Narylis! 

I penciled this piece way back in February. Inks and flats in photoshop; everything else in Clip Studio Pro, which I'll be using more in the future! This is the last digital art to use a pencil brush; since then I've stopped simulating my old bristol sketch pad method and have gone fully digital (as seen with the recent Viera pieces)!

Lewd Viera Doodles (Very NSFW)

Upped these to Twitter like the week before last or so and didn't want them to get lost. I think Patreon (hopefully) doesn't crush them as much.

Final Fantasy XIV Trauma Dump Fanfic Parts 4-8 Raw Markdown Unedited (essential mix)

THERE'S MORE TO GO sdljghjhgkjs and I'll probably post that early this month but in the meantime here's the rough form of everything else I've written in the series so far.  Enjoy!

(these may be slightly out of date; turns out keeping writing synced and backed up isn't as painless as I thought it would be)

Final Fantasy XIV Trauma Dump Fanfic Block 2 - Nymea's Blessing (raw markdown)

Hot off the presses. Still needs to be polished a little before it becomes my first submission to AO3, but 'yall get it first! ♥

Final Fantasy XIV Trauma Dump Fanfic Parts 1-3 Raw Markdown Unedited (12" club mix)

Okay so I had a major mental thing at the end of last month and was depressed for most of this month then I adjusted my meds to the old dose and spent the entire week sleeping four hours a night, feeling REALLY GOOD and REALLY HORRIBLE simultaneously, and doing creative writing for the first time since 2014 (script for the last chapter of Transitional Voices) or 2011 (super qliphothic fic for internal use only).

I'm a month behind on work and couldn't possibly do an art to my usual stan...

Valentines Day Cards (8.5 x 11 Sheet)

All six on one printable sheet - if you get a hardcopy tell your page setup to fit to page so it shrinks down a bit.  Use card stock for that ultimate public school corporate holiday feel! 😄

I think this might be the girliest thing I've ever drawn! 🤔👩‍🎨

Minor edit - consistently aligned skully/name/url across all six cards.

Valentines Day Cards

I... uh. Did a very out of character thing? And I like it??  I hope you do too! 😊

Minor edit - consistently aligned skully/name/url across all six cards.
