I am stressed. This isn't your typical run of the mill everyday stress. No, this is planet cracking and nerve tearing stress. My stress has stress. What to call upon you guys to provide me with your most heartwarming, funny, romantic, just happy stories you can find on the site. I have a been doing so but I am just one man. I am also willing to go offsite for great stress relievers and sources of happy entertainment. None of you are obliged but I would appreciate it regardless. Thanks for

If any of you enjoyed the Equestria Girls movie, I encourage you to check out Extra Credit. It's a group collab with minifics that range between 100-500 words a piece. Fun little writing projects and surprisingly a bit tougher than you would think when it comes to writers like myself who are used to exceeding 1000 words easily, to figure out what to fit into it.

So its that time once again kids, Uncle Dravens Update Corner. Staring me, Uncle Draven. I know some of you are wondering where the next chapter of Shades is, and instead of messaging everyone individually, I decided to a big post. Writing for Shades has slowed a bit because of my new job that has me working 3 to 11 and leaving me very tired when I get home, I usually read a few stories and fall asleep. Plus with me picking up as much overtime as I can get, it hasn't helped with the writing

So I like to play Starcraft 2, unfortunately I am quite limited on who I have to play this game with. So I am reaching out to see if any of you fine folks might play the game yourselves. I figure it gives me a chance to get to know some of you guys and have fun in the process. If you're game, then leave your username in the section below and I will add you to my friends.

Hey guys, I am making this post to announce that Shades now has breached 1400 favorites, a world record(Our legal team advises that this may not be true). I have even garnered 234 watchers on my page. So hello to all of you reading this and keeping up with the information that I am spewing forth. So this is a thanks to all of you who are keeping up with me. I have begun work on the next chapter of Shades. Also, I am planning on starting another story, not sure when that is going

I guess it's time to admit when you just have to stop doing something. I know how much you guys have wanted the next chapter of Shades to come out. And it has been almost six months since the last one. As you know I have gone through several hurdles in my life and have come out mostly unscathed. But with the way things have gone in writing. I feel it is only right for me to tell you all that I have stopped writing the current chapter of Shades of Grey....

Alright, for all of you that actually read my blog, you know that my mother had to undergo surgery. Well it got pushed back until today. I just now got the news that everything went swimmingly and she is in recovery, so that is a major weight off of my mind. On another positive note, I started a new job, which is a great thing for me. While it may seem like less time for me to write, I tend to do my best thinking for stories when I am working. So yeah, I am happy right now and decided to let

Alright everybody, I know you have been wanting some knowledge on what is holding up Shades. For the last two weeks I have had a lot of stress on me, that has kept me to distracted to write for an extended period of time. I figure I owe you guys an explanation as it has been almost six months since an update(a fact that DannyJ isn't afraid to point out :P) to the story. My mother is having brain surgery on the 27th. This will be the 5th brain surgery she has had and it has my nerves

So I bet some of you are wondering what that previous blog was about. Wondering why I was asking about your thirst status. Perhaps wondering why DannyJ was losing his shit in the comments, begging for people to vote no. Well this is about an aspect I have been considering for the story. One that Danny regrets thinking of. What was it? Why the great OTP of all time. ThirdxFirst. Thirst. Now most of you may be thinking, "Why Draven, why would you do this?" One, it makes Danny squirm and
