That's an interesting backstory, I really like it. And Quinn looks like he is really upset and either angry or scared, lol. That has a dramatic feeling to it. I think the artwork looks okay overall.

And the lore is very good. I wonder if it actually reverses their immunity to the plague as well. Also, I didn't know there is an entire novella "What You Wish For"! I looked at it now.

Well, fun characters, lore and the artwork. A combination of a written and visual stimuli is entertaining. ^^

Really? I could have sworn I mentioned What You Wish For as a recommendation before, since its one of the three Year End Finale's (its the first of its kind, in fact). For Quinn's expression I was trying to go for surprise/annoyance, since Nelly is attempting to lift his skirt for the viewer. This is the first time ever attempting to draw a cat face :X This image ended up looking kinda off when you view it whole, but then looks much better zoomed in to full... probably a consequence of the fact that I drew it at literally twice the resolution its uploaded at- the original rez was 2880x2880.

This is also titled part1 because there will be a second promo poster, because all three characters have a different form, but showing those forms would technically be spoilers, so I have to wait till the novella is done and out before working on the second poster. Avalyn's form becomes more bovine influenced and tremendously larger the more full she gets with milk, Quinn's form changes with exposure to moonlight, and Nelly... well, her body doesn't even make sense. They have partial traits from their parent's transformed states from when someone's wish nearly ended the world- so their forms should be relatively static. They have a bit of whatever their mother was and a bit of their father. In Quinn's case its a hard divide, and moonlight swaps between them. For Avalyn it shifts with hormonal triggers thanks to her constant lactation. But Nelly can turn into almost anything at the drop of a hat, she doesn't seem to have a static form, which breaks all the rules.

The novella will be a mix of drama and erotica. Their relationship is like a strange unintentional threeway, and as fellow demi-human, they stick close together and naturally made fast friends when they were in school. This takes place twenty years after What You Wish For, so it will also give a glimpse at how the world is recovering from its near destruction. People who went through that are not eager to remember the experience in general- and unfortunately these demi-humans do just that. Treated often as sub-human by their peers, and with misguided hostility by adults. That is why they are undergoing this roadtrip to wish themselves full human, to finally 'cure' their forms. Avalyn has never even attempted to make friends- too shy and worried thanks to how people regard her form as a partial farm animal. Quinn tried to fit in so hard that he is now desperately trying to kick a smoking habbit he took up entirely just to try and fit in. Nelly fits in just fine... but that is because she looks totally human- because her entire appearance is a lie. People don't like her, they like the illusion she presents as herself. Only Avalyn knows her true shape.

So interesting and sexy forms, but, with dire consequences. At least their world is in contact with Astrelle the God Of Wishes, so all they have to do is make it to the big city just the three of them on a road trip together!

Oh, and- this doesn't take place on Wick, there was no plague in their world, and non-human forms are NOT normal here. They are demi-human because they were conceived while their parents were transformed during the events of What You Wish For. The world was returned to normal, but their transformed states are not an effect of a wish directly, and so wishing everything back did not affect them. If they want to turn human they have to make a separate wish for that- so that is their quest in this novella. They graduated high school so now Avalyn's father loaned them his car, and Quinn's father gave them travelling funds, and off they go to the big city to wish themselves 'normal'

Okay, thanks. The name rang a bell in my mind, but I didn't check all the recommendations you gave me (sorry *chuckles awkwardly* :<), and as such the first glance at the world in the novella when I looked at it today made me think it's Wick but from perspective of people who don't know why Moth got the idea to do what she did, lol. It would be actually somewhat amusing.

And well, a nice promotion of the novella. ^^ I am waiting the most for Snow, but I plan on reading this one too. And next parts of Soulbound like Unbound and Rebound would be really fun to read too (if I remember these names correctly).

Nelly overall sounds like a very interesting character! Also I tried to look for Gods that I remember you mentioning earlier, but I couldn't find them at all. Otherwise I also thought that Astrelle was one of Gods that could have been in contact with Wick, like that God of Knowledge was if I recall correctly! These two worlds seem to be quite similar overall.

Looking forward to the novella then!

Haha, well I probably recommended a lot of stories by now, I wouldn't expect anyone to read even half of them, lol. Out of all of them, the three years end finales should definitely be must-reads though, they are all much larger scale and made with a quality that is meant to be a cut above all others.

In Wick the transformations are always some degree of anthro, and only feral if the person is mentally unstable. In What You Wish For the results are chaotic. Your personality, lifestyle, or even who caused you to turn can affect what happens, and you don't even necessarily turn into animals- some people turned into giant genitals, or clusters of body parts, or fused with other people, etc. There is a ninetails in the story even.

Sadly Snow In Summer will probably be the last of the major projects I work on at the start of next year simply because I know it will be the hardest. Being a CYOA, and... the last CYOA I did took eight straight months to complete, working on it every single day. Unbound and Rebound are on the board still but I haven't officially said I will work on them, so after the other three projects I may still do those. Actually I have written a bit in both of them- like the entire intro and first chapter in Unbound's case. I wouldn't call them parts of Soulbound though- they are three completely different stories, they just all take place in Terio Carn. Although, unless I make some major changes- Soul does make an appearance in Unbound.

Well, Astrelle is not a Lost Founder but you're right in categorizing her with them- they all follow the same continuity; her power is the same as theirs. There is two other Gods like this that are also not Lost Founders- Nihilith the God Of Nothing aka 'Angel Of Oblivion', and although I had to redact all of the stories she was originally in; the extremely evil Dormact, God Of Time. These three and the seven Lost Founders were all born the same way, and all get their powers the same way- but were all raised in different universes. If it helps remember them- there are seven Lost Founders and they are very loosely based on the Seven Sins. Psimance God Of Knowledge is loosely based on Sloth.
Desfernus - Wrath
Diovlunn - Pride
Qorelle - Envy
Teveraek - Greed
Aluslone - Lust
Harmelodious - Gluttony
And most of them are named after a combination of words too. Aluslone is God Of The Hivemind... unscramble her name and its literally; 'All Us One'. Diovlunn? Null and Void spelled backwards- his power is over space. Harmelodius- Harm and Melodious , one evil head and one good head. Teveraek God Of Thieves? 'Ever Take'. Nihilith is named from Lilith the mother of demons and Nihil, meaning 'nothing' in Latin. Dormact - Dormant and Action, a contradiction as she is the God of both past and future. Psimance is named from Psi as in extrasensory perception, and Mance, like mancers- spell casters; Geomancer, Necromancer, etc. Desfernus' immense power is heat based but he himself is always frozen because he devours heat- so he is both hot and cold, Fernus like furnace, and Des as in the prefix, meaning reversal or negation. Their names sound weird because they are extra-dimensional Gods, but I also did not want to just make up random nonsense to name them, either.
