A New Era for Pokephilia Story...
Posted 2 days agoHello there, everyone. JC Solis here.
I just wanted to make a quick comment in regard to my latest entry, and what it signifies for the series as a whole for "Pokephilia Story - Love Has No Bounds".
As the story "From Galar, With Love Ch.3" implies, this is going to be a whole new era for the series. What I mean by that is that the series will be taking on a dramatic shift from passive storytelling to active and more swift paced scenes. With the emergence of Tenebrae Arceus in the story, the Pokephiles are now more desperate than ever to try and find a way to stop Team Shroud from enacting their goal. Which means, from now on, the Pokephiles are going to be on the offense, all part of the newly formed "Team Luminance".
I intend to take the series outside of Lakeshire Town, away from the same boring settings and locations that I've hosted previously. The whole Daegar Region is now open to them, and for me to explore - as well as for you to read.
I've been meaning to go down this route for a long while now, and the fact that I can finally do this and bring about a more enigmatic approach to this series, I believe, is a step in the right direction for me. I can get even more in depth with storytelling, with scenes, and with action and fast paced moments of thrills. I guess you can say that I want to try something new, something that I hope will usher in a new form for me to adopt in terms of storytelling.
I hope that you'll join me on this new journey to new explorations, missions of high stakes, and overall feelings of an impending plot.
But don't worry. There'll be plenty of sexy action and hardcore romps taking hold. The stories will still be just as sexual as before, if not more so than before. 😈
Anyways, I hope that you'll all enjoy this series from this moment forward. I have a lot of plans for it, and I hope to keep writing this series out to the best of my ability.
Next story will be in the perspective of Alice Goodwinter and her Pokemon partner Drake the Garchomp, a couple that I've been neglecting for a while.
And I promise you that it will be a memorable one.
Sincerely,
J.C. Solis

Goodbye, Old Laptop!!!
Posted a month agoWelp, it happened... Again!
My laptop went kaput for the second time, and I take it as a sign that it's as good as done. I don't think it is worth it to keep repairing it anymore. It just simply doesn't have a point anymore.
I will say, for the three years I've had it, it served me well. And Honestly, I'm glad to have made that purchase. I wrote so many poems, stories, and even my novel on that thing, and I played a ton of games on it. But I guess it finally reached the end of its rope.
Technically, it does still work if I were to plug it in. But considering that it is the RAM that might be giving out, I don't trust it to do anything important anymore. And the ordeal I went through the week before was already traumatizing enough - with my essay being stuck in there and with a looming deadline approaching to turn it in.
I saved ALL of my written files on the cloud, though. I learned my lesson. Everything has been saved, and I can access them anywhere. But it sure will feel like a pain in the rear to work from my tablet on a bluetooth keyboard. It just doesn't feel the same - on top of that, I can't even play any PC games.
But it is what is is. I've never been the materialistic sort, so I'm not going to worry. I hope to be able to purchase a new laptop and get back to work on it.
The way I see it, this is just a setback, not an obstacle. I'll live.
Thank you guys for giving me an ear on me talking about my prized material possession reaching the end of its life. But it'll work out in the end. I'm not worried in the least. :)
At least I have no major looming assignments that will be a pain in the butt to do.

JC Solis

Laptop is Fixed! Though am keeping an eye out...
Posted 2 months agoAs the title state, my laptop got fixed just now at my local computer shop. Turned out that the RAM of my laptop that gave out, and not what I had thought, which was the power system and battery. A quick change of the RAM and it was working like new again.
I'm thankful for this, since that means that there was no other major issue with my laptop. And best of all, my essay for my English Honors class is intact, which means i can continue working on it and get it ready to turn in for tomorrow. So there's that. :)
But I will say, this experience did leave me rather rattled. I honestly thought that I would have to buy a new Laptop and have to restore all my so-called lost files from this laptop manually. But it all worked out in the end, I suppose.
However, this is the second issue that my laptop has had in the past three months, the first one being the fans that gave out on my laptop and were making it overheat. Now with the RAM having been broken, that means that my laptop may not last for much longer. I've had this laptop for close to 3 years, so it's starting to show its age. I won't be putting it through anything rigorous anymore, and I'll be sure to keep my gaming down.
I'll need to seriously consider my options and get info on new laptops that are out there, see which ones are worth it for when this one finally goes kablooey for the second time, and the costs of repair for that second kablooey being not worth it.
Overall, though, I'm just happy that my laptop is in working order again. I can finally get to work!
Now, if you guys will excuse me, I got an essay to finish for English Honors. No rest for the wicked! :D

Laptop is fried...
Posted 2 months agoOn all the bloody days to go bust, my laptop had to die days before I have to turn on an assignment for my Honors class...
I can salvage this, of course. It's not hopeless. Just need to extract a file from my broken laptop and transfer it to the cloud and my tablet - what I should have done earlier, but oh well.
I still have all my files, however, so Poképhilia Story is saved. But that does mean that I won't be able to do any gaming in the foreseeable future. I still have my writing tablet, thankfully, so I can still write and do work from there.
Here's hoping I can get out of this bloody mess. Still plan on writing and taking care of work. Just give me time to reorganize myself.

New Semester, New Hope - Return to College
Posted 2 months agoHello there, Gang. JC Here.
I just wanted to let everyone know that tomorrow I return to college for the Fall 2025 semester.
I feel very hopeful about this return to college, especially after having had a summer that hasn't been very restful for me. To be honest, Summer was far from being the relaxing respite that I thought it would be. I mostly found myself depressed or anxious or without something to do. And so, going back to school is a welcome feeling.
Curiously enough, My Writing Ability is starting to return to me with the hope of the new college semester. It's almost as though i needed something to think about, something to keep me occupied besides my own writing and thoughts.
I especially look forward to the fact that I am going to start my first semester as an Honors Student. If things go well, then I could find myself at a significant advantage in terms of searching for a 4-year university to transfer to. It also helps that I've recently been awarded a spot on the Dean's List of Distinguished Students yet again, this time with Great Recognition for the straight A's I got last semester.
Honestly, I don't know what got me into such a funk earlier this month. it was almost as though my mind was trying to come up with any excuse to have nasty thoughts and hallucinations. I will still be receiving Cognitive Therapy, though, as I want to get to the root of my mental problems and hopefully receive the aid that I need. But so far, I believe I'm on the right track.
Of course, since this is college, I'm going to be a bit slower with posting things on here again (though, truth be told, I've always been a bit slow when it comes to writing and posting online).
But it is refreshing to have this new feeling of Hope once again, and to be able to have the energy to resume my writing. I don't expect the classes to be hard, but I do expect to have a lot of work to do for HW and projects. Then again, since my classes are pretty much English courses (minus one that is actually a math course, though I've never been afraid of Math) I expect them to go along well.
Here's hoping that I can keep the momentum going, and that I can end this semester strong! :D
Sincerely,
J.C. Solis
P.S. Depending on how swamped I am with work I may still open commissions again. Just let me figure out my schedule and workload, and I may open up a slot or two. ;)

I completely lost My Will to Write...
Posted 3 months agoI don't know what happened to me. Recently, I felt as though I have been trying to bleed water out of a stone. But just like doing that, nothing comes out, and I'm at my wits end.
But I know why I'm suffering. I am currently going through a nervous breakdown, brought upon by an overload of stress and an existential crisis. This is why I'm unable to write, and why I can't produce anything right now.
I just... My mind is telling me "What is the point?" and "Why are you dissociating?" and even "What does this have to pertain with life as whole?" It's as if it is dragging me out of my thoughts and into a state of stasis. My mind doesn't want me to create new things or to make new works. Not until I resolve something deep inside me.
I visited my psychiatrist lately, and she said that this is the result of a disturbed inner psyche. I will need to schedule an appointment with my therapist soon, otherwise I will continue to dwell on this.
I'm sorry, buddies, but I will need to take time off. I just... feel a sense of impending doom and overwhelming doubt. I'm not saying I'm a failure, but my mind is obstinate in me not getting back to writing. Just nothing comes to mind.
I hope the rest of you buddies have a better summer than me.
I just need to rest and take it easy. I need to find peace with myself...

Will post Pokephilia Story Tomorrow
Posted 4 months agoApologies for taking so damn long with the story. Between my laptop being in the shop and my commission work list, I haven't had time to work on Pokephilia as much as I'd like to.
I hope to post it sometime tomorrow in the middle of the day. I hope you guys enjoy the story.

My DA got hacked!!!
Posted 4 months agoHello there, everyone!
The (REAL) J.C. Solis here.
I guess, if you have or haven't heard the news, but my old DA account was hacked. And now, I've lost almost all the progress I've made on there. Don't worry, though, I just lost the account, but nothing valuable like banking info or private emails. That, for the most part, is still intact.
But damn, if this isn't a real fine fucking mess I'm in right now.
Let me tell you guys what happened:
I was contacted by a user who tried to impersonate the name of well-known deviant on the site (even though it wasn't him and was just a duplicate account). The real guy just confirmed that it wasn't him. He's been through enough with people bombarding him with questions about these recent phishing schemes - but the hacker is still out there, trying to find vulnerable whom to steal from.
Anyways, push comes to shove, the above noted user notified me that they accidentally reported my account to DA (Yes, I did just happen to fall for that old scam) and that it was in danger of being terminated. Well, I made the bright idea of trying to contact the so-called "DA Support Team Member" via discord. No ,My discord hasn't been hacked, but the hacker made contact to me through it, and they did their damn best to try and convince me to believe them.
In the end, tho, I found the profile a bit to fishy when they said that they wanted to verify my banking info. And that was when I knew that something was up. They said that $20,000 worth of fraudulent money was tied to my account, which I guess was a tactic used to scare me. It didn't, and instead made me even more suspicious. When I contacted a friend, they immediately told me that the same thing happened to him, so I tied two-and-two together, told the so-called DA Associate to eat shit and left him.
But by that point, the damage was already done. They had managed to dupe me out of my old DA account, and now it's a lost cause.
For now, I just want to rebuild. If I can gain access to my old account, then all the better. But if not, then at the very least I don't want it to hurt anyone else. I petitioned DA to either return it to me or to destroy it, to make sure that it doesn't harm anyone anymore.
I made a lot of friends and memories on that old account. But if it means risking putting others in danger, then I'd rather have it obliterated if it means that others get hurt.
I'll start from the ground up again. I'll repost my work. I'll do everything in my power to restore my honor and good name. And I will do everything I can to let everyone know that J.C. Solis is back!
But, one thing that no hacker can ever steal from me is my writing talent, and I promise to my DA followers that I will be back, and with a vengeance.
For now, though, just leave me be. I have to rebuild. Either I end up with my old account restored, or I torch it to the ground. Either way, what's done is done. I won't feel any more anxiety than need be.
Thank you all for your support over these years, and here's hoping that I can rebuild...
Sincerely.

My DA Account is in danger!!!
Posted 4 months agoApparently, some asshole is impersonating me on DeviantArt, phishing people out of their data. Now, I've been reported because of that, with my account in danger of being terminated.
Let it be known that I've never done anything like that, nor do I intend to. I just recently came into contact with the guy on DA who mistakenly reported me, as well as the Support Team on DA, to help clear this issue. But I will do my best to make sure that my account is not deleted.
Here's hoping that I can still keep my DA account. If not, well at least I still go this one.
I'll keep y'all in touch. Here's hoping that things turn out well...

Developed a bit of a Head Cold... 🤧
Posted 4 months agoHello there, buddies. Hope you guys don't mind if I rest for a bit. I kinda fell a little ill, having developed a head cold. Head hurts, feeling malaise and body weakness, and overall just feeling very crummy. 🤧 
I'll still be writing a bit, but bear with me, especially for those of you who commissioned me. I'll get the work done soon, so no worries. 🙂
Speaking of work, expect another Poképhilia Story entry at the end of the month, perhaps by this weekend.

Birthday Reflections and Serendipity
Posted 7 months agoHello everyone. JC here.
For those of you who don't know, today is my birthday. Sorry for writing a journal so late in the day where I'm at. It's just that, even though it's my B-day, I still have to attend school and make the most of my day studying. I'm trying to finish an 8-week course that I'm taking at the moment, which ends this Sunday night, and I want to finish it strong - so I'm pulling out all the stops to get an A in that class.
Still, it's a bit of serendipity to finally turn 29 years old. This is my final year in my 20s, and honestly, it's been one helluva decade of trials, pain, and ordeals. I remember, around 10 years ago, a fresh-faced JC was just barely studying his first year in my old University, and he was failing miserably. Now, I'm studying hard and strong, in ways I never felt I could achieve. Honestly, I'm happy to be where I am now, and I hope to keep going forward in my life as I make the most of what I have accomplished.
Honestly, seven years ago, when I was starting off with the worst of my illness, I didn't expect to be back to where I am now, and not only surviving but also thriving. I am not just eking out a living anymore. I am pursuing goals and dreams that I thought were gone, and now I can dedicate myself to a life that I hoped to achieve for myself.
Still, I have a long way to go before I can achieve my success. I still have another year or so of Community College to take before I can return to my old University, and I hope to at least have the 2nd draft of my novel finished and published by then.
Many people in my classes have said that I'm a good teacher whenever I do presentations, and even my own professor has suggested to me that I should become an English Professor. I don't know if I want to be drowned in grading homework assignments, but I certainly am interested in teaching a new generation of writers the ins and outs of writing stories. If I ever pursue a doctorate degree in English - which I am seriously considering doing - if I ever reach that level, then I would very much like to be a professor at a good college or university.
That being said, I can't count my chickens before they hatch. I have a long way to go, and a long road ahead.
For now, I'm just content to be where I am, and making the steady progress which I am doing. For the first time in a long while, I have hope again. I have my hopes and dreams reigniting my passion for learning and writing again, and I hope to keep pushing that passion to newer and greater heights.
I've come this far. And age is just a number, after all. I have a whole life of literary works to get done before I say that I have achieved my dream of being a successful, professional writer.
And it is something that I very much look forward to.
Sincerely,
J.C. Solis

Many people in my classes have said that I'm a good teacher whenever I do presentations, and even my own professor has suggested to me that I should become an English Professor. I don't know if I want to be drowned in grading homework assignments, but I certainly am interested in teaching a new generation of writers the ins and outs of writing stories. If I ever pursue a doctorate degree in English - which I am seriously considering doing - if I ever reach that level, then I would very much like to be a professor at a good college or university.
That being said, I can't count my chickens before they hatch. I have a long way to go, and a long road ahead.
For now, I'm just content to be where I am, and making the steady progress which I am doing. For the first time in a long while, I have hope again. I have my hopes and dreams reigniting my passion for learning and writing again, and I hope to keep pushing that passion to newer and greater heights.
I've come this far. And age is just a number, after all. I have a whole life of literary works to get done before I say that I have achieved my dream of being a successful, professional writer.
And it is something that I very much look forward to.
Sincerely,
J.C. Solis
Back to Form
Posted 7 months agoHello everyone. JC here.
I've been letting self-doubt cloud my judgement these past few weeks. I've had a steady supply of schoolwork and commission work to keep me busy, but I've also been feeling as though my work has been inferior or muddied. Perhaps it is because I've slowed down and stopped writing as frequently as I'd like to. But I feel as though I'm raring, just itching, to get back to work.
I guess I've felt as though my quality of work has suffered, or sometimes I read other people's work and compare myself to them - comparison being the thief of joy, of course. And I was feeling as though I haven't been giving it my all when it comes to personal stories or even comm work for others.
But I just want to let you guys know that I'll be working on Pokephilia Story and my other stories much more frequently. I don't want it to gather dust again, and I want to do my best with all of my endeavors. I don't want to simply fall back down when the going gets tough anymore.
I hope to have another Pokephilia Story entry done by the end of this month. And I promise that it'll be a return to form in quality, storytelling, and including, most importantly, lewdness and smuttiness.
I thank you all for staying with me all this time. I hope to get Back to Form with this. I want you guys to keep enjoying even more of my work, of course.
And I also would like to hear from you fellows more as well. Maybe drop a comment or two either on this journal or on my submissions about some things that you liked about my stories, or perhaps things that you think that I can improve. I'd love to hear from you guys more, and I hope to keep improving.
Here's hoping to a brighter future.
Sincerely,
J.C. Solis

Alt. Vore Account coming soon...
Posted 10 months agoHello there, everyone. JC Solis here.
I've been mulling this over after some time, and quite honestly, recently I've been getting pretty into the vore fetish and its many subgenres. I've done vore before in commissions, and different kinds of vore at that. But I also feel like writing more personal stories as well - non-commission stories like the ones that I'm currently writing for Pokephilia Story. I might even get to write a whole new vore pokemon series as well on this alt account.
Of course, I won't be using any characters from Pokephilia in this new vore series that I'm planning. It will be entirely separate and different from my work on this account. In fact, Pokephilia and the stories I post here will be my main project to work on, with Vore being an occasional now and then.
I plan on posting all sorts of stories from the vore genre. Though some of you might wonder about how crazy these stories could be, I do intend for some of them to be fatal vore - but not Permanent death. I don't feel comfortable writing those kinds of stories outside of a commission, and I would very much like for all parties involved in the scene to be alive, or at the very least revived from death, after the fact. I was inspired to do this kind of writing from the works of fellow writer and happy-go-lucky noodle
 slickdratini and I hope to measure up to his delicious vore writing skills.
By the way, be sure to check him out if you're into that kind of stuff. He's a really good writer, with skills that eclipse my own. Be sure to give that boi a lot of love.
Anyways, I hope you guys will like these kinds of stories like you do my pokephilia. Once I open my alt account, I'll be sure to let you guys know. In fact, I might even open vore commissions on that alt account, so stay tuned for those of you who are interested.
Thank you all for your support. And I hope to check back with you guys with a new Pokephilia Story entry real soon!

J.C. Solis

The End of the Semester. Forlorn Future...
Posted 10 months agoHello everyone. JC here.
I just finished my first semester back at school, and honestly, I believe a good job. Got A's in all my classes, which is pretty good considering how much I was busting my butt in getting these grades. Two of my classes, Psychology and Logic, I thought I would end up with a B, but I guess it helps to turn in assignments on time and do the exam study guides.
One thing I will say, though, is that I'm happy to be done with the semester, as well as happy to have gotten the grades that I received. I'm content with my academic progress, and I have high hopes for when I return to school in the beginning of February. I'll be taking Fiction Writing and Novel Writing as my next courses, and Goodness knows I could use help with my storytelling and with that bloody novel project that I've been working on for the better part of two and a half years.
But today, I don't feel so comforted. Today, I feel forlorn, and it is a feeling I've been feeling for the better part of a week. I just... feel uncertain about my future, even though I know what is coming and what I should expect to happen. I'll be going on vacation soon, I'll be taking the classes in college that I've been waiting patiently so long to take, and I'm even getting back to work writing commissions again.
And yet, for some reason, I can't seem to get my mind to feel comfort. Right now, I struggle to get back into writing, especially with some commissions that I just recently received. I'm struggling to write some personal stories of mine - and goodness knows how behind I am with "Pokephilia Story", which I've left on the back burner due to my academics.
After so long being away from my personal stories and works, I just can't bring myself to enjoy writing right now. And that's bothering me. I'm struggling to put my hands on the keyboard to write my stories and poems. And I'm struggling to find some meaning in my life again, even though I already know what the meaning of my life is. Is it depression that is bothering me? Is it some dissatisfaction with my writing or with something personal? Or is the answer something else that is obvious, and yet still I can't see it?
I don't want to rant or keep complaining. I'm not that kind of person anymore, where I would constantly talk about my mental health struggles for the sake of seeking pity, validation, or even comfort. I just... I don't know why I feel so dissatisfied and forlorn right now. I want to find my drive again, to get to work with stories and poems like I did before. I want to spend hours on my laptop again, and not just because I'm playing video games again.
However, I will say this:
~I'm thinking about creating an extended arc for Pokephilia Story. I plan on writing a main series, featured around the Team Shroud arc, and sort of act act as a conclusion to the series. I know this sounds like Pokephilia Story is coming to an end, but don't worry. I'm still a long way away from doing this, and it may not happen until late 2025. I just want to let you guys know that I will create a climactic story arc that will take over a year to write. Think of this sort of like a novel, or an episode from a TV show, where every so often I post the latest story or episode in the series. But that'll be for later. For now, Pokephilia Story will carry on as usual. So, I hope you guys will keep enjoying my work.
~Writing commissions will soon be open. In fact, I already am working on two. BUT I'm not taking any extra right now. I just feel like I can barely focus on the ones I have right now, not to mention with the personal projects I already have. But once I recover my writing drive and am able to get back to work, I will open commissions again.
In the end, though, I'm just tired. This semester at school has been a lot of work, and I am still a bit exhausted from all that I had to do. But I am happy nonetheless over my success and my grades. I just hope that I can keep it up for the next semester, which I'm certain I'm going to enjoy very well. And yet, though the future looks bright, I still feel forlorn and discontent right now. It's something I need to work on, to work on myself, and to get better.
I won't ramble too much anymore. I just want you guys to know that I'll be getting back to work on personal stories, poems, and commission work again now that college is done. Just give me a few days to sort out the quasi-depression that I'm feeling right now. I need time, and I need to find myself again.
I just hope that I can continue doing the things that I love. And I hope that you all get to enjoy the work that I create.
Here's hoping for a brighter future.
And for those of you who celebrate the season's greetings, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Sincerely,
J.C. Solis

The Start of College - A Long Time Coming...
Posted a year agoHello everyone. JC Solis here.
Tomorrow, I start college again. This will be my first time being back to school in over six years. And I got to admit, I am a bit nervous about it.
Of course, I need to take care of these nerves. I can't go having them ruin my time with college and cause me to get upset. But I will admit that I'm going to have a busy semester, since I'll be taking around four classes and have to study hard for all of them. I have hope that I will succeed, though it will still take a while to get it all done. And as a result, my poetry and storytelling here will styme just a little bit.
I will still focus on poetry and getting the next chapter of "Pokephilia Story" done. It's just that college work is going to take up most of my time.
Also, I'll be suspending acceptance of all commission work, though any work that I have right now I will still work on. I just need to organize my time better and make sure that I can do everything I need to do.
This is a long time coming, my return to college. I spent the better part of 6 years trying to get better after my mind was obliterated by mental anguish all those years ago, and I got to say I'm happy with how I've carried on. I hope to succeed in college and do my best to be able to not achieve an associate's degree but also to carry on to a four-year University to achieve my Bachelor's.
I'm so happy right now, and I'm currently preparing my pack for what is going to be a productive day. I have hope in my heart, and I will carry it through.
So here's hoping that I can succeed this time around!
Sincerely,
J.C. Solis

RIP to the Man I Am Grateful For
Posted a year agoI remember yesterday when I heard the news about FA's owner tragically passing away. From what I've heard, it was due to a complication as a result of surgery. But had things gone differently, perhaps if he had received a bit better treatment, I'm certain he'd still be with us.
I never knew Dragoneer personally. I never met him, nor do I know about him as a man. He may have run this site in a way that many folks didn't agree with, but if there is one positive thing I can say about him and his work on this site, it's that he was the lynchpin that kept this place up and running, and for some, he may even be the reason why do many people stayed and new furries signed up.
I am eternally grateful to him for keeping this site running the way he did, even if I didn't agree with everything he did. Because of his work, when I joined in 2015, I was able to join a community that welcomed me with open arms, and even made me discover a piece of myself in the process. I can say without boast that it was because of Fur Affinity that I met so many wonderful people, and I discovered that I wanted to be a Furry and a Poképhile. This community has been so kind and supportive of me, especially when I was in the throes of severe mental health crises as a result of Schizophrenia. And Dragoneer was the man who made sure that there was a community like this that I could lean on when the going got tough for.
I thank Dragoneer from the bottom of my heart. I thank him and all the hard work he has done. No matter whatever sins he committed, I wish that all his errors and mistakes be forgiven and that he can enjoy peace in eternal rest. He deserves that much and more.
I am curious to see how FA will carry on now that the man who was in charge of everything is now gone. I hope that this site doesn't take a turn for the worse, but I am hopeful that things will be alright.
Here's looking to you, Dragoneer.
Thank you for everything.

3 Weeks to Go - Returning to College
Posted a year agoHello everyone. J.C. Solis here.
In three weeks from today, I will finally be returning to college after a long SIX YEARS of waiting around and getting my mind in order. And those six years have been especially painful for me, filled with the mental agonies that come from mental health issues and family matters that I had to undergo.
It's been a long time coming, and honestly, I'm happy to finally be ready to return back. To be honest, I won't lie in admitting that I'm a little nervous and apprehensive about returning - with the occasional nightmare, psychotic episode, or just inner voices telling me that I'm bound to fail again. But if I were to listen to these voices and thoughts, then I would indeed be setting myself up for failure, which is something I'm doing my best to avoid.
My career path will be, obviously, literature. I'm going to be studying English as my career path, which I intend to use to become a Novelist and a worker in the Copywriting or Technical Writing industry - or perhaps some other job in writing that will suit me best. I believe that my talents will serve me well in these careers, and I hope to succeed in this path where I failed previously when I tried to become a Mechanical Engineer.
To be honest, I still feel a little upset whenever I remember my past when I tried my best despite my growing mental health struggles to become an engineer. But that was another life. JC Solis the Writer is who I am now, and I won't give up on this career path as I did to my old life as an engineering student.
In truth, doing commission work and personal stories and poems has been what has been propelling me forward in this path, teaching me skills as I've slowly been mastering the writing over these many years. I'm not a Master Writer per se; I still have a long way to go before I can even come close to touching the legacy of great writers. But I feel that all the work I've been doing has led to this point, training me to become an even better writer and allowing me to hone my craft even more with time.
That being said, I know the discussion about AI in writing. and if I'm being honest, I am a bit worried that AI might come after my work, but since I use AI spellchecking and grammar software in my own work, namely Grammarly, I'm more inclined to say that AI has been helping me rather than taking my job.
In my opinion, AI affects literature a bit differently than Illustrating and Drawing. There's more to literature than just writing a few words. There's a certain "essence" to writing that AI will struggle to recreate, a "soul" if you will. And since literature involves the reader using their own imagination to create the scenario of the story in their heads, AI might struggle to recreate that imagery in a way that the reader can contend with.
But I will keep an out for AI, as obviously, I don't want to end up without a job. But for now, I'll be writing as though nothing else is happening. I'll keep writing stories and poems, taking on new commissions, and becoming active in the FA literature community for a long while still - writing sexy stories and tasteful smut for you all to enjoy.
I'm writing until I die, and that's a fact.
~ Speaking of commission work, I still want to take on work until I return to school, but currently am a bit booked, so I'll be careful as to how much of a workload I have left. I want to save up enough money to be able to buy textbooks for school, as well as any other amenities that I'll be needing.
If you have a commission from me that's currently pending, I thank you for your patience, and I ask that you all bear with me. I have a lot on my plate, and I want to do a good job finishing the stories that I need to work on.
And if you'd like a commission, please ask me, for I don't know if my schedule will be booked or not. I want to earn as much coin as I can to help with college expenses, so if I feel like I can do your commission, I'll be happy to work on it for you.
Any information regarding my rates and policies can be looked at in my commission submission prompt, so please give it a gander if you have any questions or contact me directly.
But even though I'll be in school, I'll still be active here on FA and my other sites. It might even prove beneficial since I'll be focusing mainly on poetry, fan, and original fiction. This means that "Pokephilia Story" and all my other works will receive a lot more attention since I won't be bogged down by time-consuming commissions. However, I might be bogged down by schoolwork, so we'll see if I truly do have enough time to dedicate to my personal projects.
~ In all honesty, I feel glad to be returning to school. It's been a long time coming, and deep down in my heart, there's a voice that is saying: "JC. You're ready now."
I hope I am ready. I want to carry on into this new chapter of my life, and I hope to share even more stories and poems with you all as I carry on.
Here's hoping that the remainder of 2024 will be a good one. And Here's hoping that the Fall and Spring semesters will be kind to me.
Sincerely,
J.C. Solis

That being said, I know the discussion about AI in writing. and if I'm being honest, I am a bit worried that AI might come after my work, but since I use AI spellchecking and grammar software in my own work, namely Grammarly, I'm more inclined to say that AI has been helping me rather than taking my job.
In my opinion, AI affects literature a bit differently than Illustrating and Drawing. There's more to literature than just writing a few words. There's a certain "essence" to writing that AI will struggle to recreate, a "soul" if you will. And since literature involves the reader using their own imagination to create the scenario of the story in their heads, AI might struggle to recreate that imagery in a way that the reader can contend with.
But I will keep an out for AI, as obviously, I don't want to end up without a job. But for now, I'll be writing as though nothing else is happening. I'll keep writing stories and poems, taking on new commissions, and becoming active in the FA literature community for a long while still - writing sexy stories and tasteful smut for you all to enjoy.
I'm writing until I die, and that's a fact.
~ Speaking of commission work, I still want to take on work until I return to school, but currently am a bit booked, so I'll be careful as to how much of a workload I have left. I want to save up enough money to be able to buy textbooks for school, as well as any other amenities that I'll be needing.
If you have a commission from me that's currently pending, I thank you for your patience, and I ask that you all bear with me. I have a lot on my plate, and I want to do a good job finishing the stories that I need to work on.
And if you'd like a commission, please ask me, for I don't know if my schedule will be booked or not. I want to earn as much coin as I can to help with college expenses, so if I feel like I can do your commission, I'll be happy to work on it for you.
Any information regarding my rates and policies can be looked at in my commission submission prompt, so please give it a gander if you have any questions or contact me directly.
But even though I'll be in school, I'll still be active here on FA and my other sites. It might even prove beneficial since I'll be focusing mainly on poetry, fan, and original fiction. This means that "Pokephilia Story" and all my other works will receive a lot more attention since I won't be bogged down by time-consuming commissions. However, I might be bogged down by schoolwork, so we'll see if I truly do have enough time to dedicate to my personal projects.
~ In all honesty, I feel glad to be returning to school. It's been a long time coming, and deep down in my heart, there's a voice that is saying: "JC. You're ready now."
I hope I am ready. I want to carry on into this new chapter of my life, and I hope to share even more stories and poems with you all as I carry on.
Here's hoping that the remainder of 2024 will be a good one. And Here's hoping that the Fall and Spring semesters will be kind to me.
Sincerely,
J.C. Solis
Update: Unhinged and Disorganized
Posted a year agoI don't really know how I got to this point. I just feel a bit out of it.
Hey everyone. JC here. Just... well... I don't really know what I've been doing lately. I guess I've been stagnating once again, being unable to find my rhythm in life.
I've been becoming less and less active here on DA and online in general. I took a long hiatus in order to gather my thoughts, but it seems as though wasting my time playing video games isn't helping much. I'm finding it harder to return into a writing rhythm, and not just because I'm getting really engrossed into games like Skyrim and Fallout 4.
I'm currently undergoing the process toward returning back to college. As a matter of fact, I've already enrolled in some classes, and am now waiting for Financial Aid to process my case. It has been a long road of recovery since those dark days many years ago, when I was forced to leave behind my education for the sake of my mental health. I'm thankful that Life is giving me another opportunity to be able to return back to class, and I hope that I don't push myself too hard and do the same mistakes that caused my downfall the last tine.
But for some reason, I'm finding it difficult to dedicate myself to writing. I have planned to study Copywriting as a career goal, and I hope to take my career prospects toward the realm of literature. But I don't know why I've stopped getting serious with my stories.
It's been over five months since I've last posted an entry from "A Girl and Her Dragon", and even "Poképhilia Story" and my other projects, like my novel, are stagnating. I said I would completely rewrite my novel, but that has come to a standstill as well. And all I'm really good at doing these days is writing poetry, but even that is slowing to a crawl.
I don't know why I feel this way. I feel as though I've been slowly becoming even more unhinged, even though I have school in about four months and need to build a more focused mindset in order to write constantly. Almost all my classes will be on English, and I will be writing a ton. You would think that, as someone who write constantly and posts his work online - even going as far as doing commission work for others - that I would have the prospect of becoming a professional writer in the bag.
And yet I have no idea why I've suddenly been on a downward decline. I've just lost a ton of interest, and my mind has become more unstable and unhinged. I don't like this feeling one bit. Literature is my bread and butter, and I feel as though it is being taken away from me once again by a cruel mind that is so fickle and stupidly stubborn.
But I truly still enjoy writing. Yet if I want to succeed as a creative writer, I need to find the passion and drive that has been slowly fading away from me. I want to forgive myself, in a way, for allowing myself to decline. I want to believe in myself again, have that interest in the goals that I've planned forward. And most importantly, I want to write stories that entertain and please others again.
I just want to say, to all of you guys who have stayed with me through thick and thin, that I'm sorry for allowing myself to decline this far. I'm sorry that my dragon series and Pokémon fanfiction have stagnated, and I'm sorry if I'm letting any of you down. I know you've all enjoyed my work, and I want to continue providing you guys with content now that I'm in the crux of a new chapter in my life.
I guess I will need more time to mull things over. I just want to write again unimpeded. I want to write the stories and works of fiction that I used to do for hours on end. I want to get lost in my own stories and get to share them all with you guys again.
And I desperately want to become the kind of dedicated writer that I always wanted to be.
I apologize for this long, rant-like journal. I just hope that mu education will go well when I return to college in the fall, and I hope that I do a better job this time around while also not pushing myself too hard and causing myself to fail again. I don't want to be so unhinged and lost anymore.
I won't make any promised as to what content I'll be focusing on next. I just want to focus on my own personal growth, and be the writer thar I always wanted to be.
I appreciate all of you guys for sticking by me. And I hope that I can be able to produce the kinds of work that you've all enjoyed from me since the beginning.
I don't want to make excuses anymore for falling flat on my goals and promises. I just want to write stories and poems again.

On Hiatus from NSFW Storytelling...
Posted a year agoHello there everyone. JC Solis here.
I'm going on hiatus for a time from Pokephilia Story and some of my other NSFW works for a time. I want to take a break for me to focus on my other ventures, such as how I plan on rewriting my whole novel and also catch up on some SFW stories of mine.
Overall, I just feel a bit tired from writing NSFW and smut, so I want to take a break.
I will still work on commissions, though, and if you currently have a commission waiting from me, then don't worry - I will finish it. it's just afterward that I will decide whether I will take up doing a follow-up NSFW commission.
I just need some time off from these ventures for a while. I hope to be back to writing NSFW personal stories sometime around Memorial Day in May, so it's not like I'm quitting NSFW for good. Let's just say that for mental health reasons, I have to back down and recharge after going nonstop with writing different fetishes and scenes.
Here's hoping that once I recharge I can get back on the horse and return to writing at my full strength.
In the meanwhile, I hope you'll all enjoy my SFW stories for the time being.
SIncerely,
JC Solis

Out of Hospital - But Keeping an Eye Out...
Posted a year agoHello everyone. JC Solis here.
I came out of the hospital last night. I was there because of an underlying heart problem that was discovered over at my Primary Care Doctor's office. I was given an EKG heart rhythm test, which I requested after having bouts of tachycardia, chest pains, and dizziness spells over the past several months. But it was at the clinic where the EKG noted something strange.
And rather than wait around for much longer, my doctor sent me to the emergency room. And when I looked at my reason for being admitted to the ER, I was shocked by the reason why the doctor sent me:
"Possible infarct." In other words, they wanted to rule out whether I previously had or am having a Heart Attack.
The doctors in the ER took me in and did all sorts of test on me, from heart monitoring to more EKGs to even bloodwork and x-rays. All the while, my was racing in the 120s bpm, whether it be from anxiety or an actual heart problem. But they gave me fluids and medicine, and my anxiety and my heartrate both began to calm down.
In the end, though, I was discharged from the ER and got to leave late last night. The doctors said that they didn't notice anything off about my blood, organs, chest, and even my heart apart from the tachycardia I had. They said that they didn't see anything that could potentially kill me right then and there, so they had to let me go.
But I was recommended to immediately contact my PCP to schedule an appointment with a cardiologist come Monday. And frankly, I agree with them.
This was all one big fat scare, to be honest with you. But if it turns out that I do have an underlying heart condition, then I want to do my best to make sure that I can save myself before things get more serious.
I don't mean to scare any of you guys, though. I'm not saying I'm dying or in any immediate danger. I just need to do some things in order to keep myself well. If it turns out that this is something that I need to work on, then I will have to tend to it.
In the meantime, though, I'm just going to keep doing what I am doing: writing.
My birthday is coming up on March 27th, and I want to finish a chapter of "Tales of Dyannor - A Girl and Her Dragon" by then. Plus, I want to do a whole bunch of work on my commission work and other assignments.
Here's hoping that I can get all of that done. And i hope that i can make the best of my current situation. Having heart problems is scary - as if I don't suffer enough already on account of my mental health issues. But life moves on, and so will I.
Here's to a better time in the future, and for a Happy birthday for me when I turn 28 yrs old.
Sincerely,
J.C. Solis

Am at Hospital for a Heart issue...
Posted a year agoI don't know how things got to this point. I came to my local hospital for a checkup, and it seems that an EKG test they did didn't look too good.
I haven't been diagnosed with anything yet, and so far it doesn't look too serious. But I'll let you guys know what I have and don't have in a bit.
For the most part, I'm going to remain calm and make sure that everything turns out alright. I hope that this is nothing serious and that I can go home in peace.
Here's hoping that I can return to writing soon. Don't want to stop with my poems and stories just yet, heh heh.

JC Solis

10k Page Views!!!
Posted a year agoI'm so grateful to have achieved this milestone with this profile. Thank you so much, everyone, for giving my page and my stories a gander! 😁
I can't tell you what it means to have this many views. I started this webpage around 2015, and though I didn't initially get into writing, when I did I knew I was on the right track. And then it was around beginning of 2020 (before the stupid pandemic hit) that I got into commission work.
Things have only gotten better from There, and I hope to continue writing my stories for all of yOu guys, my faithful viewers and friends, to keep enjoying. I couldn't have reached this milestone we're it not for all of y'all giving me the time of day.
I hope you guys continue to read the works I come up with in the future. I have high hopes for where I take my stories like "Poképhilia Story" and all my other works.
Here's hoping that I can get more work done soon.
Sincerely,
J.C. Solis

The End of Pokephilia Story... (Announcement)
Posted a year ago...is still a long, LONG way away! Haha!
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I wanted to do a gag to make a big announcement on here. 😅
But in all seriousness, I just want to thank everyone who's been following my Pokemon series, and I'm grateful to everyone for liking and following the tales of Saria, Razor, Kiara, Lance, Jason, Camilla, My Persona, Lillia, and the whole bunch of my OCs over the years. The list has grown so long that I can hardly list them in this journal! But I enjoy writing every moment of these characters' lives, and I'm happy to see you guys enjoying them, too.
That being said, I am actually planning a major series into Pokephilia Story. I plan on marking a novelization story arc that will end up being around 10+ chapters long, and it will feature ALL of my OCs, with Team Shroud as the main villain, as well as some other antagonists thrown in.
But this series is currently still in development - and when I mean in development, I mean I just barely came up with this idea a day ago. XP
In all seriousness again, this series is going to take a long while to plan out and develop, and i don't intend on enacting it until the beginning of 2025, almost a year from now. In the meantime, I'll continue working on the stories that I plan on making this year, and they will be setting the stage for when I do the dramatic novelization series next year.
But even when the novelization is done, I still plan on working on Pokephilia Story, no matter what the outcome of that series may be. I'll still be writing Pokephilia stories with your favorite characters for as long as I can. I truly enjoy this series, and I'm grateful to all of the people and fans who've followed me over the years and fallen in love with my OCs. I just hope that these stories will be of good quality and showcase the best that I can offer.
Here's hoping 2024 will be a year of promise. Meanwhile, I have a full year to prepare the long story arc for 2025.
And this is something I'm most definitely looking forward to... 😁
SIncerely,
J.C. Solis

This is serious...
Posted a year agoUnfortunately, my sister's conditioner hasn't gotten any better. As a matter of fact, the only thing that may help her now is surgery.
My sister has a severe bleeding problem, one that's been going on for some time. Our of respect for her privacy, I won't divulge her exact condition, but I will say that the doctors recommend surgery to help her find relief from it. And surgery is the only thing that she has left to help her. If this doesn't work, then I don't know what else to do.
I'm sorry, everyone, but I still won't be posting work regularly or taking on new commission work. The commissions I currently have will be enough until this whole situation is sorted..once my sis returns to a more normal and healthier state, then I'll try to get back into a writing rhythm.
I just hope and pray that this resolves soon.

My Sister is in the Hospital...
Posted 2 years agoI'm sorry, everyone,  but I'm currently dealing with a medical family emergency.
I had to bring my sister to the emergency room due to complications. And the next few days I'll be taking time off to help her with the condition.
As a result, all commissions, projects, and personal works will be suspended until this issue is resolved. I need to be there by mu sister's side. She's terrified, and family is worried sick over her. We are doing our best to help her, and hopefully the doctors can resolve her condition.
I've already lost a lot of family in a short span of time. I don't want to have to lose this one that is so close to me...
