Two journals in a little under an hour? Blasphemy! Or something...

Any-way... As some - and/or possibly most of - you have probably heard, my brother/uncle/nephew/cousin  atemal99 is in need of a new laptop. For more information, go here. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1918912/ Being the poor shifter that I am, I felt like I had to help. Being the poor shifter that I am, I had no money with which to do such a thing. So...

I'm taking poetry and story commissions. That's right. I'm selling artwork to people who want to buy it. I'm thinking... I dunno... $4 per poem, and then $8 for a story. I'll... get you the paypal info when I get it...

This week's game, I'm sorry to say, has been OFFICIALLY CANCELED. It isn't happening this weekend. Meaning tomorrow. I'm sorry, anyone whose been looking forward to it.

In other news, in light of the recent fact that people have been having various difficulties with either technical things or schedules, I have decided to open for subs. People who sub for the players. If you're interested, please look over the character sheets, decide who you want to sub for, Note or IM or get in contact some other way with the player asking for permission and - if necessary, an idea of how their personality is - and then Note, IM, or contact in some other way me so that I know who you're subbing for and when to contact you when I need you. HOPEFULLY, if all works out, I can tell you whether or not I'll need you a week or so in advance.

That, of course, means the players are going to need to TALK TO ME about things going on with them. Somethings can't be planned ahead, of course, and there are schedules for work and things to take into consideration, but if you absolutely know for sure you won't be available, telling me SOON is a good thing!

Note to the players, no, I'm really not talking to anyone there, it's just a hypothetical that's come up with my dad's games.

Note to the would-be subs, if you sign up, then can't make a game where I need you, don't fret. It just means that the game isn't going to happen that week.

Two subs per player would be AWESOME, but I'll be happy if anyone at all signs up for these... I refuse to hope for much here...

*last minute edit despite the journal almost certainly receiving little to no publicity in the minute or so it's been posted* IN ADDITION. In case it isn't clear, you're just filling in for a person. Not out-and-out replacing them, unless they decide the game isn't their type of thing.

Alright, so we have a six member party with a slot reserved for later in the campaign. *privately thinks seven is a hair too many people for a first go DMing, and wants to close it off fast enough that he can still manage*

ATENTION PLAYERS! My DICE are warning you that you have a week to prepare! First game is (tentatively) scheduled for Sunday at around 6~7ish! Please be online no later than 7! Also, please get Skype! It's just going to be easier!

Alright... I have three people who have expressed an interest... I'm hoping for one more, but if I don't have one in a month, I'll make do. Gryph, big blue, Zera, please post here later with your character.

Races: Like I said, I'm retooling them so that they'll work for furries. Right now, I'm actually stealing one from 4.0, since dragons are so popular. Note: Dragon born are ANTHRO. No feral dragons.

Dragons (Dragonborn): +2 Cha, +2 Str, -2 Dex
Tanuki (Gnome): +2 Con, -2 Str
Badger (Dwarves): +2 Con, -2 Cha
(Big) Cats (Elves): +2 Dex, -2 Con
Rats (Halfling): +2 Dex, -2 Str
Bears (Half-orc): +2 Str, -2 Int, -2 Cha
Canines (Humans): None
(House) Cats (Half-elves): None

If you're interested, go ahead and sign up. I want a four person party, but I can run a three, or 5+ probably.

Explanation: With regard to hybrids, they're mostly for looks. I mean, really. Go with whichever you want to be more dominant for the stat bonuses.

Looks like I broke my vacation for nothing... yeah... go figure... *sighs softly* I'll be fine, though... haven't needed one before, after all...

Is canceled. Yeah, canceled. It's not happening. Too much damned work. *sighs*

From MSN and Skype. So, people who talk to me on there, don't be surprised when I'm not on. If it's important, either email me or send me an Offline Message, and I'll respond as soon as I can. Or, hey, go to Zee ( zeetheinflator), or Ate ( atemal99), or Sev ( sevlowtyak). I'm sure any of these people will be able to help more than I can, anyway.

Incidentally, no, there is no drama. I've just been told by a couple different people throughout the day that I need to take one. Also, I will not be off here, just MSN and Skype, so this is also a perfectly valid way to contact me. I will be back on MSN and Skype and hopefully refreshed on Thursday next. You know, provided I can keep from imagining all the utterly horrible things that can happen to everyone... >.>

Laugh, yes, laugh like that was the joke it really wasn't but I wish it could be... *sighs* Maybe I do need a vacation...

Repost as: "I'm ____% Cute"

I have an idea to make a furry campaign, but I want people to join... would anyone be interested, or know someone who would be?

 starbeast is doing a Tarot reading contest. Why am I entering this when my mother could do it? Because different people interpret the same spread differently. Besides... I dislike using my mom to divine for me.

What is Tarot, you may ask? Starbeast provided a nifty guide to the explanations of each of the cards. You can find it here: http://www.paranormality.com/tarot_meanings.shtml

Eh... I guess I'll enter this... I don't really like drawing freehand, so this will maybe give me a little more practice... http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1766032/

Well... I've seen this floating around, and thought to see how it compares to what I already determined...

You entered: Draylen Learth

There are 13 letters in your name.
Those 13 letters total to 62
There are 4 vowels and 9 consonants in your name.

Your number is: 8

The characteristics of #8 are: Practical endeavors, status oriented, power-seeking, high-material goals.

The expression or destiny for #8:
Your Expression is represented by the number 8. The 8 Expression is well-equipped in a managerial sense. You have outstanding organizational and administrative capabilities. You have the potential for considerable achievement in business or other powerful positions. You can expect to receive the financial and material rewards. You have the skill and abilities to establish or operate a business with great efficiency. You have good judgment when it comes to money and commercial matters, and you understand how to build and accumulate material wealth. Much of your success (or lack of it) may come due to your ability (or inability) to judge character. With the number 8 Expression, you exercise sound judgment in most of your affairs; you are realistic and practical in your approach to business matters.

The positive 8 Expression produces individuals that are very ambitious and goal-oriented. If the 8 energy is not in excess in your makeup, you will no doubt express these traits to some extent. No one has any more energy that a person with the 8 Expression who has a plan laid and is starting to work. No one has any more self-confidence, either. If you are expressing the positive qualities of 8, you are an outstanding manager because you can plan, initiate, and complete projects; you are very dependable and determined.

As it always happens, there can be too much of a good thing. If you have too much of the 8 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes. A negative 8 can be very rigid and stubborn. Ambition sometimes has a way of becoming over-ambition, and you may express an unreasonable impatience with the lack of progress. If your negative side is showing, you may be too exacting, both of yourself and of others. Sometimes this can even becomes a case of intolerance.

The number 8 is very materialistic and also very desirous of status and power. Neither of these drives are inherently negative unless they are taken to an extreme. You must avoid the tendency to strain after money, material matters, status, or power, to the detriment of the other important factors in your life.

Your Soul Urge number is: 3

A Soul Urge number of 3 means:
With the Soul Urge number 3 your desire in life is personal expression, and generally enjoying life to its fullest. You want to participate in an active social life and enjoy a large circle of friends. You want to be in the limelight, expressing your artistic or intellectual talents. Word skills may be your thing; speaking, writing, acting, singing. In a positive sense, the 3 energy is friendly, outgoing and always very social.

You have a decidedly upbeat attitude that is rarely discouraged; a good mental and emotional balance.

The 3 Soul Urge gives intuitive insight, thus, very high creative and inspirational tendencies. The truly outstanding trait shown by the 3 Soul Urge is that of self-expression, regardless of the field of endeavor.

On the negative side, you may at times become too easygoing and too optimistic, tending to scatter forces and accomplish very little. Often, the excessive 3 energy produces non-stop talkers. Everyone has faults, but the 3 soul urge doesn't appreciate having these pointed out.

Your Inner Dream number is: 5

An Inner Dream number of 5 means:
You dream of being totally free and unrestrained by responsibility. You see yourself conversing and mingling with the natives in many nations, living for adventure and life experiences. You imagine what you might accomplished.

The first part... not so much, but the second two... *shakes head* Mostly the second, really...

Just thought I'd share this song with everyone. It's a fairly good song, but you don't need to listen to it if you don't want to.

I drew something - yes, unthinkable though it may be, I, who has less artistic talent than the average toddler (and an American one at that!) drew something. By hand. Free hand. In pencil. So it's black and white. And evidentally, really rather good, or so say the half-dozen who have seen it so far. So... to get a wider scope of opinion... anybody know where I can find a scanner? Or how to tell if my printer will scan things? It will COPY them, I know that much, but... Need a scanner...

That's right, people, if it's not now, it soon will be! Fur is coming into fashion in France, and like the little lost puppy it is, America will follow close behind! Third is my favorite, incidentally.

Care too much and find yourself break to pieces... care too little and find yourself adrift in an endless sea of apathy... and there's really no balancing it if you've gone through one or gone back to the other... Give everything, or give nothing... take little, or absolutely nothing... Where's the gods damned balance supposed to be? What powers in the Heavens or Hells decided something like this was a bloody GOOD idea? Who wove this fucked up tapestry we call Life?

What is a hero? What makes a hero? Is anyone, in fact, really a hero? I know what I think on the subject... what do you guys think?

Alright, as I said before, I'm an extremely generalized shifter. No shifting into only a few other forms, I just... shift. Whether it's just growing fur out, or turning into something completely different, say, wolf to snake, I shift. Generally I'm either a wolf or a dragon, when in doubt while IMing me, look at my status bar, it'll show music. If it's Cranberries, I'm a dragon, Great Big Sea is wolf, Cake is cat, Offspring is fox... Or just try talking to me.

Also, all of my forms keep the same color pattern, that is, a white body with a black tummy/underside.

As I said before, yes, I'm a shifter, and yes, I do like making people happy - but I'm not a sex toy. Do. NOT. Talk to me, expecting to get a free ticket for your fetishes out of it. Talking to me is fine, just don't expect to yiff my tail off. Or have me yiff yours off, as the case might be.

Hmm... I think that's everything, not entirely sure though. I hope so.
