Overdue Update Journal

So... I've been trying to get back into writing. Anxiety due to politics from every angle imaginable effectively drove me off of my public Twitter account, and I've been having to mute people who use their adult accounts to drag politics into there as well. It came to a point that I've effectively…

An update

Sorry for being quiet since the move. If I seem somewhat distant or something, I'm just really busy, even if I don't seem like it. Much of that busy-ness is mental, not physical. Let me bring you up to speed. On July 25th, I finally left Austin, TX and moved back to my parents' place in Fort Smith,…

Home

Been home for a few days. Busy as hell. Bedbugs and unloading shit constantly. Will update more later. You can also find my new journal on http://codebalion.prismdragon.net , as I'll be updating that a LOT more.

More writing setbacks

So, I've been trying to write again. I'm just over a week-and-a-half away from moving back to my old hometown, and the several days have been..hell. The only way to describe it is hell. My parents have apparently been having a bedbug problem (along with the rest of the town). While trying to fix th…

Busy

http://starseerdrgn.dreamwidth.org/13131.html Lot of things happening right now. This journal, and the link to my mate Calyo's journal, explains much of what has been going on, and why I'm very quiet right now. Just letting people know.

Discord/Telegram

I'm using Discord these days, and plan on using it for my RP channels going forward. Why? The requirement to be invited to servers, for one. For another, I can't run my own IRC server yet, and I want more control over my chats. Also, I'm on Telegram as well, but only because 1) I have a "burner" nu…

Decisions being made

http://teradyneezeri.dreamwidth.org/6864.html I've been mostly offline due to dealing with things regarding a possible move. My mates and I have decided to stay in Austin, TX, and now I'm left stressing slightly about another decision that [i]I[/i] need to make for myself. Explanation in the link a…

Where I upload my art

Just as an FYI, I don't really upload art here. All of that goes into my public OneDrive folder, into my Gallery instance, or onto my Tumblr. Below are the links for those sites.

Patreon up for consideration…again…

For those who don't know me all that well, I can't withstand most ​normal​ jobs. Not only does my scoliosis prevent me from lifting heavy object (25 lbs. carry limit, 50 lbs. dead lift limit) but my body isn't able to tolerate stressful jobs like call centers. The last time I tried—thanks to other…

Feel free to ask me things

http://thoughtgryph.tumblr.com/ask Anonymous questions are on. Feel free to ask me things, even NSFW questions. You can also ask questions of my various characters.

Fira’s avatar

LINE account As well

Quick Note: I went ahead and got a LINE account. You can find me as teradyneezeri. Note to Xolroc: Sadly, this one requires a mobile number as well. If anyone knows of a good Skype replacement (not Google Hangouts) that does NOT require a mobile number, please let me know.

Telegram and WhatsApp

If any of you are using Telegram, and I know you fairly well (or at least recognize you somewhat), feel free add me through (at)teradyne. I am more than willing to RP there as well, so long as I know who you are and what your interests are. I use a Google Voice number, so it is a more open number.…

Gryphon form?

I apparently come off better, or more appropriate, as a gryphon to some of my online acquaintances. ...Um, what? This is not something I was expecting. Granted, ever since I stopped holding back the changes of my evolved personality, I have become prouder of myself and my accomplishments, though th…

Why I do not commission art

GitHub Story Repository? (Maybe someone will know)

Does anyone know if GitHub would allow something like a repository of stories, both SFW and NSFW? I use Markdown, so they could be displayed natively, and the web editor I use (StackEdit) allows for native publishing to GitHub. I already have it syncing with a dedicated Dropbox, but I would like a…

Quick note about Tumblr

Quick note about Tumblr: http://typegryphon.tumblr.com/ I am posting my stories there as well as to FA/Weasyl/IB/SF. I will take asks, but I do not follow blogs via my dashboard--I put them into my RSS feed reader. All of my posting will be through something outside of the website (typically StackE…

About my latest story

(X-posted from FA) The latest submission is part of a series I plan on writing. It will mostly be random stories that pop into my head regarding Starlight Lifestyles and VegaCorp Enterprises. No, Author will not be the primary focus for all of them. I thought shi would be best suited for this one d…

Invites to Ello

For those who do not know, Ello is a social network in development (yes, it is still in beta) which has promised to keep itself advert-free, to the point of even becoming a Public Benefit Corporation to ensure that anyone purchasing the company could not place ads on the site. Instead, they plan on…

What I have been up to

New Server Thanks to one Prannon, my mate dragon-architect and I now have a pair of Dell PowerEdge 1850 rack-mounted servers to toy with. I have been given one of them, and have already installed Ubuntu Server onto it. The other needs a new RAID battery, and both need new CMOS batteries and more me…

"Ding! Level 29!" Also, Twitter

Yes, it is my hatchday. My human shell is officially 29 years of age as of 05:32 US CST. No, I will not request anything. I received the three things I needed thanks to family: a new phone (Nokia Lumia 1020), a 4:3 ratio monitor for writing, and a nice US keyboard to type with when I am not writing…

Twitter, and FA

Okay, just an FYI for the most part, but I'm paying VERY little attention to Twitter these days. Aside from occasionally checking my timeline, I only really see mentions and DM, and only because they hit my phone. I don't like Twitter. I find them to be even more shady than Facebook, the 140 charac…

That moment you realize you forgot a very important detail…

It's funny... All this time, I've described my character Nocti in writing as a rather normal Growlithe or Cerberlithe for the most part, but I forgot one important detail about him that actually hints at who his real parents are. He has a pair of short stubby horns just behind his ears, both of the…

Ways to keep in contact with me (X-post)

Despite the fact that I'm not nearly on IMs enough these days--and almost never on IRC--I do have a few ways for people to get in contact with me. When I'm actually available for real-time chat, I'm mostly on Skype as "almeiga_of_the_prism_skies". I'm also sometimes on XMPP as teradyne@jabber.org,…

"It/They" pronouns

Going to throw this random question out to people: What are your feelings regarding the use of "it" and singular "they" pronouns? How about in real life, in regard to another person who prefers those pronouns? Just trying to get a feel of that for something that I can't talk about at the moment.

Fira’s avatar

Twitter and Facebook

Okay, I'll be honest. I'm getting tired of how toxic Twitter has started to become towards my mood. As a result, I'm dropping it for good. My account will still be up, but I won't be using it. I am on Facebook, though. Feel free to friend me there, as I can easily control what I see in my timeline…

Going silent for a bit

Just an FYI, but I'm going to be hard to contact over the next few days, due to personal reasons I'd rather not discuss. As such, I won't be available over Skype, GTalk, XMPP, AIM, or IRC. If you aboslutely need to get in touch with me, send me an email at tezeri@prismdragon.net , and I'll get back…

Patreon campaign back online

http://www.patreon.com/fira I've brought my Patreon campaign back online. I'll explain what to expect from it. As a writer, I've always wanted to make my passion into a career. However, life has constantly gotten in the way of that. Either due to publishing/publisher issues, real life, or technolog…

Twitter hiatus and SoFurry

cross-posting across multiple sites So, just an FYI for everyone on here following me on Twitter. I'm currently taking a long and much-needed break from the site. I won't be actively posting there at all for the foreseeable future, but I can still be easily contacted via email, and I'm posting my t…

Patreon Campaign cancelled...for now

So, due to my Mac Mini--my main workstation--being out of commission for the foreseeable future, and my main desktop resisting any method of installing Linux on it for some reason, I've had to put off the Patreon campaign for now. I just don't have the capability to work on major projects without a…

(This is being cross-posted to all sites, so I’m going to be mentioning a few things specific that might not apply to all sites.) Okay, now that I have things set up for it, I plan on doing something unique once I start writing again. See, my main writing tool is Scrivener, an app that I whole-hear…

Setting up my Weasyl Account

So, I'm getting things set up here after dropping SoFurry, starting with my profile and commission info. Still need to set up the more detailed commission info, but I have the bare basics on my profile. I also plan on submitting some of my older stories once I finish re-formatting them for Markdown…

In Fort Smith

So, I'm back in Fort Smith, AR for my grandmother's funeral. No, I'm not sad. I'm actually relieved that she's no longer suffering. In fact, I think that was a big part of the stress that I was feeling. She was dying, and I knew she wouldn't last long after I moved. I knew she was suffering, even i…

Planning on taking commissions, but...

Okay, to bring people up to speed: I plan on trying to take commissions eventually. I just can't do it right now. At the moment, I'm a little too stressed out. I live in Austin, TX. My parents live in Fort Smith, AR... over 7 hours away by car. Currently, I'm not in the best of shape, as my blood p…
