For anybody keeping track, I tend to draw back a bit after a big project while I catch my breath, but I'm not completely fallow. Here's what's going on with me between now and the next big thing:

Personal work:
Mostly stories I've had kicking around in my head for awhile. There's actually around 40 stories on my to-do list, but they always get pushed back behind commissions and projects, so I try to make room for a few to slip through now and again and release some pressure:

• Sphingoi (Story - Sphinxes! Some sex, some lion-pride-style hard vore). It's not going to be for everyone, and not indicative of the style of the big sphinx project, but it's full of images I really want to get out of my head.
• Giant Sphinx (Drawing - More Sphinx! This time with extra sphinx! Nothing much else - just some paw-capture of a normal-sized person). I started this almost six moths ago, never quite was happy with the lines, so I'm going to tackle it again.
• Light-bearer (Story - Goo-girl, Futa(? maybe?), sex, engulfment/absorption, end of the world silliness)
• That's not How Magic Works! / The Republic of Michael (Title not decided, shrunken people hijinks including vore)
• Once We Were Not Starships (Novella, sci-fi, not likely to be anything particularly vorish in it)

If I can get those five things knocked out in the next three months or so, I'll be a happy camper!

Commissions:
I guess I'm going to officially reopen to commissions - with caveats. I'll only be taking one at a time, and no waiting list. Not that I think I'll have a long line waiting, but I'll likely take my time with this, slotting it between other things, and I don't want the pressure to rush from a waiting list. Consider this notice if you're interested, but it's not really first-come, first served this time around. There are some things I'm more interested in than others...

What I'd most like to do: A character sheet. I don't have much experience with this, and don't really have samples to show. I'm thinking that since this is sort of a gamble on both of our parts, I'll do something like $30 minimum for full-color front and back, additional costs based on how much else you want included? (Clothes, alternate poses, expressions, sides, etc.)?

I may also be willing to take a story commission. I'm at $15 for the first thousand, $10 for each additional thousand words. You set the minimum, I exceed it by whatever I want. Whether or not I take a story commission depends on how much the idea appeals to me, I'm afraid. But don't be afraid to ask! Even if I say no, I'm pretty nice about it! And what appeals to me is not necessarily the kind of thing I'd write for myself. What's likely NOT to appeal to me is something I'd need to do a lot of research for (writing in a canon setting, including characters with a lot of history/complications to consider).

Role-Playing:
I've had a lot of role-play either wind up, come to a significant lull, or just disappear lately. That would have made me antsy any time the last two years, but at the moment... I don't know. I might be okay with it. There's enough out there that may pick back up again from a lull that I don't want to over-commit, but at the same time I feel like I've had enough basic vore RP for awhile, and other kinds of stories are appealing to me more. I've always like a heavy dose of story and conflict and world-building and characterization in my RP regardless, but the vorish aspect is starting to take more of a backseat. Maybe that will change a bit in the future.

I feel bad - I advertise myself as a switch, but in the last half a year or so, I haven't really done anything preddish. I've had ideas, but even though any good RP should be a lot of work, RPs where I play pred usually require a lot more investment and I am a lot more picky about what kind of character I play with. I've thought numerous times about opening up an RP with Alexis (the gaslamp alligator monopolist of the unmentionables market), but I think I'd have to say 'no' to so many people it would just become unpleasant. And I LIKE playing prey. Me and 75% of the people RPing vore, right? I feel especially bad because I've been trying to nurture a dominant male pred side in myself for M/* RP, but except for with a very particular partner, I just can't make it stick. For now I guess I'm just tired of fighting against what I like, so you probably won't see me play or write or draw many more male preds for myself in the near future.

In any case, I'm thinking about posting a very specific RP request that is semi-vorish, and if I get takers, great! If not, I'll focus on that stuff on my to-do list. I don't think there's anyone beating down my door for an opportunity to RP with me (hah!) but if you are such a person, let me know!

Long-term:
The Sphinx project is still on the horizon, I hope, but I might be modifying it considerably from what I'd originally planned in order to allow for a little more involvement.
