Hey guys~ I know I've been pretty negligent with updating my page on here, but I was in the process of moving stuff over to my new FA account under the same name as here. If you'd like more information on that and what's been going on with me, you can read that here >>> http://www.furaffinity.net/j…
Hey guys~ Due to IRL happenings and not making very much progress on my current commissions, I've decided to close commissions. I don't know when or if I'll open up for them again. I thought with being in a better spot in my life I'd be able to spend more time and effort on both commissions and wri…
Hey Guys~ Just a quick fyi, I am willing to take 4 more story commissions before I close the form! Keep in mind, I'm still working on the first three and have yet to get to the next two after those, so it will take me some time. Once I hit 9 entries on the form (after I green-light your commission…
Hey guys~ Just a quick announcement regarding commissions that I forgot to mention on my last journal about these: I'm thinking of closing the form sometime this weekend, most likely Saturday 5/25 (unsure of time right now, though most likely between 9am and 11am CST). I've already gotten a few ent…
Hey guys~ Gonna open up for story commissions (long time, I know). Like always, please read my guidelines first and fill out the Google form before contacting me. Doing so gives me a better idea what you want right away, even if you're not 100% sure what you want; we can always clear things up late…
Hey guys...It's been a while... First of all, you may have noticed I recently uploaded a story commission; this means I'm now finished with what commissions I had left in queue. However, I don't think I'll open up for commissions again anytime soon, for a few reasons: I want to start writing storie…
Hey guys~ There's been a couple things on my mind as of late, but I haven't been able to write up a quick journal entry to keep ya'll up to date until now. A lot of this pertains to commissions, RPing, and a little bit with what's been going on in my personal life. Regarding commissions: I've been…
Hey guys! Figured I’d share a quick update about what’s been going on over on my personal blog; you can find the post here. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this. Thank you, Ricky
Hey guys~ I've decided I will no longer be accepting commissions and will be going back to slots. Between getting things ready to move and a fairly inconsistent/crappy work schedule, it's been hard for me to find time and energy to work on commissions and even my own writing projects. I don't know…
Hey guys~ I'm currently in the process of figuring out this whole moving thing, because I need to secure a place and be out of my current apartment by the end of August (which is when my lease is up). I also still have to sort through stuff, pack, figure out transport, and make sure my current apar…
Hey Guys~ Yeah I still have one left in the queue, but I would like to try and keep somewhat of a steady flow of commissions rather than opening/closing them at the most random times (at least that's how I feel I'm doing it, anyway). So, as of right now, I've decided to leave them open, more than l…
Hey guys~ Come next round of commissions, I've tweaked my TOS/Guidelines somewhat and will be taking commissions a little differently (some of this will also apply to trades and requests). Changes to all: Maximum word count I'm willing to write has increased to 10,000. After writing a few of my own…
Hey Guys I know I still have two more commissions to do, one of which is now paid for and I'll, hopefully, get the draft finished soon. However, I don't know when I'll get to the next one on my list. Primary reasons: working a lot and in desperate need for a place that will be available by the end…
Hey Guys~ I will be getting back to working on commissions soon, don't worry! Right now, I would like to put my focus on a story that I hope gets into an upcoming furry anthology; this will also be my first attempt at getting published, so I want to make sure it's good. I'm almost done editing the…
Hey guys, These past few months have been...shitty, to put it bluntly. Ever since being forced to scramble for a place back in September, I've been living paycheck to paycheck; I only get paid weekly because I'm working through a temp agency. I also had to withdraw from college; between the stress…
Until I complete what's left of my queue, I will be closing commissions for now. They will open up as soon as all current commissions are completed.
Something I forgot to mention, and I will remember to mention this in the future, commission slots are limited to one person per slot. This is mainly due to the number of slots I'm willing to open, and I would like to give as many people of a chance as possible. Thank you
Hey guys~ Since I'm starting to get a bit of a backlog of commissions now, along with wanting to get into a few upcoming furry anthologies, I'm gonna have to start determining slots now. In the past, I've done three slots and that seemed to do well. However, I'm thinking of bumping that up to four…
Hey Guys~ Things seem to be leveling out for me lately, though I'm still a little worried about my financial situation. So, I'm taking another chance at commission work and seeing where that'll go this time; seems to work out pretty well the first couple times I opened up. Please keep in mind, I'm…
Hey guys~ Yeah...I haven't been writing a lot lately; a lot of that is due to how fast things have been changing in my life for the past few months. Between starting a new job and starting my last semester in college a few weeks ago, I also got thrown under the bus and was forced to find a new plac…
"You can check out anytime you like, But you can never leave" -- "Hotel California" The Eagles Hey guys... As you may or may not know, I've been thinking about a lot of things lately regarding my involvement in the fandom. Between writing stories for either myself or commissioners, getting art for…
Hey Guys~ Things have been tight (No...get your mind out of the gutter), financially, and my current job barely pays me enough. I'm living on my own now, so I have ALL THE BILLS to take care of. Someone kill me. I do want to finish up a commission I'm currently working on, which I would like to fin…
Hey Guys, Just a quick-ish update on what I'm planning on doing. First of all, in case you haven't noticed on my profile page, I decided to set up a ko-fi profile to try out for a while. It's a small donation service for people to show support for content creators and give them a little motivation.…
I have recently updated my TOS for commissions, request, and trades to include a section regarding cancellation and denial of these. I should’ve included this section earlier, but have failed to do so due to being busy with college this past Spring. Please see the link provided on my profile page.…
So this has been my week | https://bensthoughtjournal.wordpress.com/2017/03/17/march-17-2017-rant/
Hey guys, Figured I'd give you guys a bit of an update, mainly for those two still waiting on commissions. Overall, I've been very busy. Between my "final" semester of college, trying to maintain some exercise routine, dealing with family stuff, and trying to maintain some sort of social life...I f…
All slots have been claimed. I will reopen when they will all be finished and if life doesn't seem too hectic at the time.
As I've mentioned in this journal I wouldn't start on commissions until all the slots are filled or if they take too long to fill. It's been over a week already since my first slot's been claimed, so I may begin working on them soon. With that said, I will start working on one or both of them start…
There is ONE more slot left for commissions, requests, and trades! Announcement journal is updated to reflect this.
There are still TWO more slots for commissions, requests, and trades! Announcement journal is updated to reflect this.
I have decided to open up commissions again. They were fun to do and I would love to write for you guys again. Also, I've decided to open up requests and trades. I finally got around to writing up guidelines for those, and I will provide a link for all the info at the end of this journal. For commi…
It was such a great con! I was going to make this a one-time thing. But after this weekend...yeah, that's not the case anymore. I got a little emotional writing this, and as it neared the end of the con. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up crying at work tomorrow. Anyway, here's my experience and t…
Hey Guys~ It's been a while since I've posted an updates of sorts on here; let's fix that. First things first: here's a little bit on what's been happening with me IRL --> https://bensthoughtjournal.wordpress.com/2016/11/07/nov-7-2016/ along with a followup to relationship things --> https://bensth…
Hey guys~ As I've mentioned in my previous journal, I want to try and get in to two upcoming anthologies: Tales from the Guild 2 and Roar 8. However, because the deadline for TFTG2 is at the end of this year, I've decided to only focus on Roar 8. It's been a slow start, as it usually is when I firs…
Hey guys~ I will be closing commissions for now, however I will continue to work on any current commissions I already have. This is for a couple reasons: Life's been getting stressful/busy for me lately. I recently got a car (yay!), but I'm still trying to recover from being stressed out about my h…
I've been feeling better and have gotten a chance to relax a little bit at work today; I pretty much had nothing to do all day, thankfully. I've talked with my mom a little bit about everything too. She says she acknowledges that me and my boyfriend are in a relationship but still doesn't approve o…
Hey guys, I try to keep really personal issues offline as best as I can (except for Twitter, unfortunately; it's way too easy for me to quickly vent on there), but I feel like you should know what's been going on with me lately. I haven't been feeling the greatest, emotionally, for the past week an…
FINALLY back from Furry Migration! And that means commissions are open again! I'll probably post a review of the con sometime this week, but I had a great time overall! :D There are a few business things on my end that I want to get straightened out, such as a central location for my TOS and figuri…
I will not be taking any commissions until I get back from FM. I've already finished up the only commission I've gotten so far; all I'm waiting on is the final approval from the commissioner before I post it. I also might be changing where my TOS for commissions, request, and trades will be located…
I will be heading up to Minneapolis, MN for Furry Migration on that day, so I won't be taking commissions during that weekend. I will be back the following Monday, Sept. 12 and will re-open commissions then. If anyone does want to commission me before then, I may not get around to working on your s…
Hey Guys~ I've updated the payment requirements for commissions. You will now be asked to pay 10% of the total cost of your commission either: 1) right away if a word count is specified beforehand, or 2) upon completion of the first draft and after I give you an estimate on the final word count. I…
After being asked about a few things by a potential client, there were a couple things I forgot to mention about commissions regarding outlines, fanfictions, and OCs/sonas. Please take a look at the updated journal here!
Hey guys~ I am very sorry for the lack of stories on here. College kept me busy, and once I finished this past semester, job hunting took priority. However, I now have a job working for the same place I did last summer. While it is full-time, it’s pretty much the only thing keeping my busy right no…
Hey Guys~ I am willing to write any genre with any rating (general, questionable, mature, extreme), so long as the story features anthro characters. This doesn't mean I won't write human characters, however. Regarding Fanfictions: It depends on the show/movie you would like me to write about. If I'…
Hey Guys~ I'm wanting to open up story commissions and see if it will go anywhere. However, a lot of this will be experimental, and I will update this journal as this develops. The following are several lists of what I'm thinking of so far. To do: Set a price. This will either be a fixed price all…
Hey guys~ As pretty much everyone knows, FA was recently down for a couple days due to an attack on the site. This made a lot of people angry and was regarded as a very bad move. Many have recently been promoting other sites they're on, mainly Furry Network, or flat out moving to those sites perman…
Hey guys~ I recently decided to stop doing the 100 Theme Challenge; I haven't had much time to work on it this semester, nor write at all for that matter. For now, I'll be keeping what I've written so far on here, though they will all be put in Scraps. Some of them I really like and I would rather…
Hey guys~ Quite some time ago, I created an account here on Weasyl to try and broaden my audience a bit for my writing. However, at some point and for whatever reason, I decided I didn't like the idea of trying to keep track of the many platforms I post on. So what I did was delete everything I sub…
