Hey! Remember Caught & Cursed? I've still got 5 of the YCHs available! Go check them out :D

Join my Dicord server! I've got a big project I'm about to officially unveil there and you can give your input on it even if you aren't a customer! I say 'officially' because the project is sitting there in one of the channels for you to take a look already :3

Come and join! https://discord.gg/Td6P5xU9tN

It is worth mentioning to all of you in my audience (not just customers) that joining will be one of the best ways to communicate with me and get involved with/influence my larger projects (I have one coming very soon! PLEASE come along to have your say!) There's only so much communication that can happen here on FA without it being awkward to manage or gather so I thought it was high time that I opened a space to make it easier.

Years ago, this server was created for SubscribeStar and later was changed to include regular customers and a few close friends.. now it's open for everyone! I'd love to see it grow into a community of not just my readers and customers but also all of my friends, your friends too! And I'd love for others to make connections there too. It's not much now but this is where it begins to change~

Hey all! I've still got a number of stories up for grabs right here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/61030980/
3000 words each for $72 which is 20% commission prices. Do take a look and see if anything catches your fancy!

And little side note.. I may have something else cool planned for the near future!

Hey! Enjoying my recent work? I have a friend who writes latex, hypno, brainwashing and more! So, if you're looking to see more of that sooner than I get around to it  Kirisha has you covered right now~

   Hey everyone! I’ve just dropped a big project right here. If you’ve been around for any of my Alchemy Survey events then it’s a little bit like those! I’ve got a sale going on a number of YCHs (a lot this time) that all come with the same setup and deliver entirely different scenarios. I’ve written a story featuring a non-descript character to intro things so go take a read and see if it’s something you’d be interested in! These will be 3k word stories selling for $72 instead of the usual $90 so that’s 20% off!

   Hi! Yesterday I started posting stories to DeviantArt and SoFurry!

   The links lead to my profiles on the respective sites. My hope is that I'll reach new audiences in those places that don't use FurAffinity and potentially find more opportunities to write stories that I'll be able to share across all the sites I'm on. If you're on those sites and like my stories then I'd really appreciate your help! Watches, views on stories and favoriting will all go a long way towards growing me in these new places (I think especially in the case of SoFurry even a single favorite on my newest story will greatly increase my exposure to the front page).

   What do you get out of this? I'm glad you asked! In addition to potentially increasing my opportunities to create new stories, you'll be helping to grow my watch count on each site and I intend on running milestone events as I reach 100, 250, 500, etc, as I've done in the past here on FurAffinity. That means more discounted YCHs and more raffles!

   Thank you in advance to anyone who checks out the new profiles! And thank you to everyone who continues to support me here on FurAffinity <3 I truly love this job and I have a big project to share with all of you very soon which I'm going to go work on again right now~

   Ignore below. I'm prepping :3

We got there! (I'm real late x3) Thank you so much!
Check out the event right here for all the juicy details! https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55036861/

Hello! I just wanted to make this journal to give a bit of update on where I'm at workwise. My current commissioners are aware of my move overseas to Australia but I didn't want to spam more individual notes out. I'm finally settled at home after several days of travel, I have some more important things to organise still but they're quick enough that they won't eat much into my writing time and after I get a good rest I'll be giving the current commissions my full attention. I'm really looking forward to showing these stories to everyone!

Hey hey everyone ^^ I've been officially writing full time again for a little while and in case you missed my open art, I've got this journal for ya!
All my commission info in terms of pricing is right here: https://www.furaffinity.net/commiss.....s/abeletflint/
And here's my terms of service: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9686290

I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Hey everyone ^^ I can't believe it's been almost 5 months since I stepped away from stuff here. Life's been pretty full for me in that time but I'm finally at a point where I'm able to put more focus on writing. All the projects I took before leaving are complete now (Just one last delivery to make) and I have a hell of a lot of things to upload so expect to see posts from me in the coming days. I'm going to start with the commissions that have been waiting to be uploaded for the past few months but I'll also be uploading everything from my SubscribeStar project whenever I find the time to make icons for them, seeing as that project is abandoned at this point. I'm looking forward to sharing those stories because I really enjoyed working on them and not a lot of people got a chance to read them.

Extra news? I'm semi open for commissions again, already got one in the works and another lined up, but I'm gonna be pretty selective about those for a little while. I've also made a start on writing up backstory for one of my characters, Blake. I'm not 100% about uploading it just yet as I want to make sure I'm totally happy with it; it's a very meaningful story and I'll probably want to be a few chapters in before I start sharing it around. I'm really excited to put it up though so I couldn't resist mentioning! Oh! And I've not missed the fact that I've reached 500 watchers while I've been gone! I'm very grateful for the continued support and I'm really keen to put an event together to mark the occasion. I've learned a lot from past events so I have a good feeling this will be the best one yet ^^

I think that's everything for now but I'll be seeing you all again very soon! Much love <3

Hey all, been like a month or so since my last post but I didn't have any news to share. I've been dedicating most of my time to job searching as writing here has made up the entirety of my income for the last year and a half and dropping it so suddenly did put me into a new stressful situation. But I've managed to find something and I'll be starting on Monday so it's a big relief ^^

In the meantime, I have been working on commissions bit by bit (Thank you so much to you all for your patience). I've got one completed, just need to do the finishing touches, so I'll be sending that off either tonight or Sunday. I'm not completely sure of my schedule yet so it's hard to say just how things will be moving forward but I'll certainly have weekends free to find time for the rest of the commissions and once I'm used to things, I'll also be able to find a bit of time in the afternoons on weekdays so you can at least expect things to speed up here again.

I'm also getting close to 500 watchers here and I'm feeling keen to make an event for that. I'm really grateful to all the people watching me here and would like to give something back! Depending on how quickly I reach the milestone I may or may not be a little bit late x3

When I started writing 8 years ago I had a far different goal than being an author. I was writing a novel set in the world of a video game I wanted to create and it was simply meant to work as advertisement for that future game as well providing a small measure of financial support.

But it all changed. I fell in love with what I was creating there and all I wanted to do was share this story I was pouring my soul into. I was happy when I thought about it, excited, enthusiastic. I came to love writing so much that even though I was doing it as my fulltime job I started to write other stories in my free time. I'd spend the whole day writing things about the world in my book and then at night I'd stay up to 4am writing about Abelet. It was so much fun. Was..

My novel turned out to be a failure. All the people who spent years telling me how excited they were to have a read of my work vanished from my life the very moment I published. A subreddit dedicated to advertisements by authors for their new works repeatedly marked posts about my novel as spam regardless of the account posting it. Paid advertisements were never even shown on websites. And so on. It all broke my heart but I still loved writing and I still had the stories I spent so many nights losing myself in.

I was really happy when I posted some here on FA and actually got some attention. It was nice to know that somebody read it and enjoyed it. It was all I ever wanted from my novel and I finally got to have it with Abelet.

It has been 3 years since then and I don't know what to say about my story because those years are foggy in my mind right now. There have been highs; after all, I met all the people I call close to me here and people continue to enjoy what I write. But there have been many, many lows.

I'll gloss over the countless knives in my back, the miserable dramas and the awful people who have done nothing but sap away my mental health. No one cares about that, and I shouldn't either, but I hate to say that these things are important. Working as an author is challenging. I'm responsible for organising every piece of work I get or want to get. I have no one above me to motivate me and it is discouraging to spend hours on something just to realise nobody is interested in it. I sit on my own all the time with nothing but the voices in my head to guide me with my creativity.

But I could do it. I proved I could do it and I loved to do it. All the challenges were easy to deal with because I loved writing so much. But all that bad stuff I've gone through has corrupted the voices in my head. The creative space in my mind is often filled with crushed happiness and tormenting memories, reminders of just how hated and worthless I am. Some days I just sit here for hours, paralysed and unable to write a single word for whatever project I'm working on. And yesterday I took the killing blow. I don't want to talk about why it happened but I lost the biggest project I've ever had; a story I was pouring my soul into, much like my novel back in the day. I worked so hard to get it and I even rejected payment. Now it's gone. It fucking hurts.

I don't care about succeeding as a professional author. I never have. I miss the feeling I used to have when I would stay up those late nights writing about Abelet. I haven't been able to write my own stories in such a long time because I just hate it now. The work I'm obligated to do leaves me feeling so emotionally drained that I have nothing left to give to my hobby. I miss it so much.. I just want to go back..

If you are still reading this and you are someone I have worked for then thank you. I am glad you enjoyed my writing so much that you actually wanted me to tell a story for you. And thank you to those who have left comments professing enjoyment. Thank you to those who simply read quietly and left a favourite. Nothing made me happier on this site than knowing my writing was loved.

I'm taking a step away now though. This job isn't good for my health anymore, it hasn't been for a long time, and I can't continue to struggle against it. I am closing my SubscribeStar indefinitely and closing commissions until I have completed all of my current projects. I'm still willing to take work here, especially from my old customers, but going forward I only want to take projects I know I am going to enjoy the process of writing. I don't want it to be about money at all and I want to have time and capacity for myself again to write the stories I used to lose myself in on those late nights.

I'm sorry.

Onto business. I'll be in contact to my subscribers individually:
 ElectricFox777 I specifically owe you a refund. I'm sorry you never got to enjoy any of the rewards I planned on.
 Toaster98 Thank you very much for your long term support <3

These are my remaining projects. I promise they will be completed but I will certainly be working slower than I normally do:
 TheRemnent I'm sorry you've already been waiting so long.
 Polaris-the-Sheep I know you said I can take all the time I need but I still hope I can deliver as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your patience.
 Saffira55 I am very sorry for your extremely long wait. I have you at the end of my queue as this was a raffle and I don't want to leave paying customers in the lurch. But I promise this will be completed. I'm grateful for your support of the event.

Congratulations to  Saffira55!

Thank you to everyone who participated ^^ There are still potions for sale so you might still be able to snatch a story over on the event page.

I should have some more events coming in the near future along with more raffles but... well, you didn't hear it from me ;3

Hey there ^^ My friend  BunBun-Art has started publishing an awesome comic! You can get your hands on a physical copy of volume one at the link below (How neat is that?!)

Hey hey!  BunBun-Art and I have released pages 5 & 6 of Test Run on my SubscribeStar and her Patreon!

We both really appreciate all support so thank you ^^

Hello! ^^ Voting has ended for the next 3 part story I'll be writing and now I need characters to put into the major slots! I can't talk about story content in this journal as it's NSFW but this link will give you the synopsis and explain what guest star slots are available! https://subscribestar.adult/posts/645653

My earliest watchers on FurAffinity and anyone else who has gone back to the first posts in my gallery are aware of The Wolfkin. It is the first story I wrote with a furry theme and the place that Abelet really grew into a character that represents me. I miss writing this story but there are many things about it that I am no longer happy with. The fact that it was meant to be a short backstory for my World of Warcraft worgen from back in the day limited the scope and, though I added things on and changed others over time as I fell more and more in love, it caused me to create many inconsistencies that take a long time to fix. I do not like the way I wrote Garrus as a Gary Stu and many characters are underutilised to the point of having no presence in the story whatsoever after their introduction. The history of the world is lacking and cultures are unfocused. And ultimately? Because this is the first time I ever wrote something lewd, the focus I put on the kinks caused Abelet to develop in an unconvincing way.

So a rewrite is what I have wanted for a long time. There are many reasons that I have not done this yet. The first and most important thing is motivation. I once wrote a novel and the release was a horrible experience. I lost most everyone in my life without a word and to this day I still do not know why. Though The Wolfkin received attention that made me really happy, I have struggled with the idea of large projects ever since and it is the reason that I stopped working on The Wolfkin where I did. Second is time. When I first started taking commissions and making YCHs I struggled with time management. Even though I was just about to turn 24 years old, I was still a kid with the real world. But last year I stopped job hunting and no longer receive government support. I am a year and a half older and now I am a woman with real world experience able to commit to her work and push through laziness. And finally? Identity. I have struggled with my identity for a long time. I've had a lot of hard experiences but I've come out of them knowing who I am and who I want to be. Consequently, I'm no longer indecisive about Abelet. I know who she was, who she is and who she will be. I'm ready to make this rewrite happen.

So! While I cannot say when it will happen, after my current work load is done I am going to begin working on creating timelines, characters and constructing the overall plot. This is a very special project to me and many of the experiences that Abelet and Blake have are directly linked to my own. I want to create a romanticised autobiographical novel series that will release a chapter on SubscribeStar every month and tell my story in the best way I know how (I'll need to think about all the tiers and pricing when the time is closer). It will not be exclusive and will later come to FA but I want all of my supporters over there to have early access to something so close to my heart.

Congratulations to lucky #3  saffira55!

Thank you so much to everyone who took part and helped to promote the event. Just so you know, there are still two potions available for purchasing and they might just be the one you were hoping to snag! https://www.furaffinity.net/view/47122503/

I've had a lot of things happening irl since early April so work has been slow but I will dedicate as much of my time as I can to finishing the event stories this week. Icons are already made for the ones that have been sold and all that's left is writing. I apologise to my commissioners for the longer than usual wait times!
