SO! My hard drive failed. Isn't that just great? Luckily for me, my friend's dad was able to save my data and transfer it to a different one. So I'm back in business!
I've been doing a let's play of pokemon recently, but I haven't forgotten my in the works fan fics (in fact I've been drawing pics and creating characters for one of them constantly.) So hopefully I'll be able to get the one I plan to submit first going, I had about half of the first chapter done.
Chapter 6 of “Behind Him” is nearing completion. There are at least two or three scenes that need to be edited then all the editing needs to be done. I apologize for the incredibly long delay on this one, life has gotten super busy and other personal things have put this story on a long hold. I don’t have a set publication date but I hope to not spend too much longer on this chapter.
I finally made progress on Behind Him chapter 7 again, yay! All I really need to do at this point is rearrange a few scenes and add to the last one or two scenes I haven't finished yet. After that is just editing.
I'm going to start a new tag called 'fartch'. It's fart, art, and sketch all combined.
Anyway, started yet another Silver Spanner thing. I'm going to see if I can draw Mjolna too, but Silv is getting on my nerves. I wanted to try drawing her from a different angle (as an artist, I tend to get trapped in side and 3/4 perspectives). But her foreleg... It's just... Omg...
While it has been a few months since I've posted anything, I have been writing. And as proof, I made a silly/cute collab with THE AnonPencil which you can find here:

Hey everyone! So like the title suggests, I've been learning how to draw now. So far, I'm liking what I'm doing even though it's rough and I don't have all the tools for it.
Just another milestone update to let you all know that Behind Him chapter 7 is halfway done! The composition, grammar, etc. is quite a mess but that'll all get cleaned up once the plot of the chapter is solidified.
Behind Him chapter 7 is now published! Looking at the time between that and chapter 6, it has almost been a year since I published anything.... Sorry for the incredibly long wait!
Behind Him Chapter 6, “Open Space”, is finally out! Again, really sorry for how long this one took, I hope to have a more consistent schedule in the future.
Authors cannot properly proofread their own writing.*
It is important to fully buy into that concept before delving into the exceptions and solutions. It maps well to the statement, A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. If you're an experienced writer, I should not have to convince you of the truth here. Yes, you can (and should) proof your own writing; you'll catch many of your grammar and spelling mistakes. Many, but not all.
Another chapter title has been decided on so you know what that means…chapter 7 is coming along! It’s almost halfway through, but I can’t guarantee a “due date” just yet.
Been reading up on using color pencils in ways other than like a 3-year-old.
Now I just gotta stop sticking them up my nose
You thought I stopped these, haven't you?
Wrong! I've just been drawing things like humans and Batman and beagles. You know, things that aren't ponies or cute. (Heresy! Beagles are cute!) Like this one:
I am currently gauging interest over whether this is something y'all would like. The copy in the photos is my own personal copy, made by Swan Song.
FILL OUT THIS FORM IF THIS INTEREST YOU, thank you and bless.
The giant emerald turned out fantastic (but now that I look at it, it's a little asymmetrical). Still, I really messed up trying to create Spot's color (I didn't have a color pencil exactly like his fur) and Rover turned out alright, except he has a bit of a round head (and his teeth!? My god I messed that up).
I can draw.
I finally have a direction for Chp. 4 of “Behind Him”, so I’m really hoping I can publish the chapter by the end of the month! This time, I’m going to publish the chapter across all the other sites I post onto on the same day, so the publication process might take longer than normal. All I really need to do for Chp. 4 is to add some more dialogue and do some editing, then it’ll be finished.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to share them!
