Another year-end update (been more than a year since the last one) - and I thought I'd let everyone know what's going on with the ol' brown & gold clockface!

While it's been a rough year on many fronts for many people (including myself), I've got a few things in the works that will hopefully help make 2017 a whole lot better, some of which I'd like to get any interested watchers' feedback on:

AJLT Writing News:
As I'm sure some of you are wondering - I am still pondering around the stories that I used to write - I say "used to" because it's a little tough for me to call myself a writer when my last story post was more than two years ago. The good news is that I have managed to do another editing pass on the end of that third Amy, JoBeth, Lauren & Tara story and I've got to a point where I just need to post it, warts and all. It is not perfect, but considering how much I've retconned and changed in AJLT's background over the years, we can just roll with it and call them more like guidelines than actual rules. 

Besides, I can't post any of the other things I've been writing since then before that's finished... ;)

Yes, that's right. There are more stories - much more bondage-focused ones too! I've got two AJLT "short stories" in the can, one focusing on an evening for Amy & JoBeth, with the other focusing on one of Lauren's little plans for Tara, set a year or two after they all get together. I can't start posting those without finishing the last story, so stay tuned. I'll start releasing the chapters soon!

My story archiving site with the unedited versions is also back online too, so I'll post over there in case there's anything that I need to remove. Hopefully I can get to making regular releases for a while, depending on everyone's interest.

Naughty Writing News:
After getting through a years-long lack-of-motivation period, I've started writing some shorter tales too. Focusing on some of the more popular, licensed characters that I like to commission, or some of the commission series that I have made, fleshing out the backstory behind all the kinky fun that happens on-screen. I'm looking to resurrect the first chapter of the Kitty Pryde/Alien Abduction series that I lost in a computer crash long ago, as well as venturing out on a slightly "dark" series featuring some of the girls from the Potterverse getting into a very pervy alternate timeline.

The first story in this group was finished recently, as a present for a friend, focusing on two of my favorite characters: Stephanie Brown & Cassandra Cain, a pair of Batgirls that are acquired and kept fighting crime in a way they never expected. It's an extremely silly tale, but my friend liked it... so I'm thinking I'll post it. It's a very NSFW story though, so I may just post it on my Hentai-Foundry page, if anyone is interested.

UPCOMING COMIC NEWS:
The last piece of news is perhaps the most curious. I posted a poll many moons ago asking if anyone would be interested in seeing comics that I write and commission, and while I really hope to make ones starring Amy, JoBeth, Lauren and Tara, the first one that I've had finished is with another pair of original characters that I've worked on with caocaothedeciever : Helen & Yumi (and their moms, Alena & Noi, respectively), and with art by Joseluisbelmont !

There's a preview pic below, and at this point, I've got four story-parts complete that I'm thinking about splitting into two comics that would feature 8 full-color pages, their non-lettered alternate versions, and a cover that I would offer for likely $10. I know that may sound like a lot, but these comics take a lot of money and a lot of time to produce, and I am hoping that with 15+ images in each pack, everyone will find that fair, especially if they'd like to see more of this!

House Rules: Helen + Yumi Comic Issue #1 by aidenke


The first comic would feature one 4-page short setting up the characters, and then the first 4-page part of the first longer story, showing just what happens when Yumi's mom (Noi) gets a little alone-time with her daughter's kinky girlfriend... Leather bonds, naughtiness, ballgags and hoods ahoy!

Let me know if you guys are interested, and I can try to work on finding a good method to sell these (probably very similar to what Yes-I-Did, SuichiTanka and RabidGundam all do for their packs as well).

----

As always, there's more commissions coming down the line, and more streaming of my hilariously-bad colors over on my Picarto channel - I'll try to let people know when I'm streaming via temp-journals in the future.

Hope everyone is as well as can be, and hopefully see all of you back around here soon!

It's been a while since the last update, and while things are still a little obnoxious and frustrating, I wanted to post up an overdue update on where things stand and hopefully talk about some of the funner things that have gone on since the last journal:

Commissions are coming along, but it's an undertaking for the patient as artists have lives too! Exploring the usual themes of kinky fun and a little bit of bondage-related trolling too, a few old and recent favorites are below, and there's more fun to come in the weeks ahead:

Is it ready yettttt? by Psuede


Between exploring hobbies, making and enjoying new gear creations, cute and casual moments or even turning some of their usual roles on their heads, there's a lot more to come on this front, and speaking of...

Comics are something I've always enjoyed - but commissioning them is tough, though, as between cost and time commitment, it's a big undertaking for just one person & artist. That said, I have a ton of ideas for comic commissions that I'd like to undertake if people would be interested in purchasing them to support more - both for my OCs and for some licensed characters getting into kinky situations (both PG-13 and a little more R-rated)! I've added a new poll below the journal to start gauging interest - let me know what you think, and maybe there will be some big projects coming in 2016...

Art & Streaming is another new area - a ton of great people have started streaming and some amazing communities have popped up in the chats. I've never been a great artist myself, but I've been editing and coloring more frequently and I've been growing the skill set enough that I stream from time to time. My Picarto channel can be found here - I'll post up some of the pieces I'm working on when they're done, and I'll post journals when I know I'll be working on something - if you see me streaming, come in and say hi!

Writing is the other big update - it's been a year of real-life frustrations getting the best of me and writer's block keeping me from picking out the next story I want to tell, but after months away from Word, I'm editing bits and pieces again. I hope to finish editing and post the 3rd Amy, JoBeth, Lauren & Tara story in the next few weeks. After that, I have two already-written short stories focusing on each of the couples ready to post as well. Hopefully that can help kick-start some new work in the months ahead - the wait for new chapters won't be long, and maybe I'll even post a poll or two to help me pick out a theme for the next short stories.

Last up, some news about good friends here on DA getting up to great work:
  • SuichiTanaka has made a zip-pack about a futuristic kinky theme park called Capture Kingdom you should check out if you haven't yet! JoBeth & Tara are in there along with many other OCs you may recognize - well worth it and a ton of fun!
  • CommanderRab has just started a brand-new Patreon - Rab is a creative wunderkind who has done amazing work helping me define Lauren's gear-making style (and outfits for all four of my OCs) - even if he'll disagree about the wunderkind part. :P If you've ever enjoyed his work - go support him!
  • NinjaPunchy's Patreon, SneakAttack's Patreon, Psuede's Patreon (the amazing artist behind the Cassiopeia Quinn webcomic!) and Yes-I-Did's zip-packs are all still going strong and totally worth checking out if you aren't aware already - all definitely worth the support, and some of those potential comic ideas mentioned above could start happening here...

Depending on the reaction to the comic poll, there might be a follow-up journal soon (about interest, subjects, price, and length) but otherwise, here's hoping things are treating all of you well, and thanks for stopping by!

Update 4/18: Done with the Saturday stream!

Thanks to the couple people who came along, and hopefully a bit more notice will help in the future!

-----------------------------------

I said I'd try to post more often, and less than a year since the last journal is at least technically "more often!"

Commissions have been a little quiet lately, at least here on DA. Hopefully there will be a few more of my OCs coming soon - as always, the favorites are the best place if you're not already watching the artists and here are a few of the most recent:

   
  

Some of those artists (SneakAttack, and CrazyOne) have some Patreons already going, everyone should go support NinjaPunchy's zip-pack if you haven't already, and Drew Gardner has a new site that you can find over on his page! They're all such kind and patient artists - definitely check them out if you haven't before!

--------

About my Stories, I was very pleasantly surprised to see how many people were actually most interested in my writing about Amy, JoBeth, Lauren and Tara. I guess I'll really have to get started on some of the stories and scenes that I've had in mind for them, now that I'm finally starting to feel a bit more positive overall and less worn out by work (which has been intense - but fun)!

It seems I have enough active watchers/voters that I could even let people start to vote a little around themes. I've got a few ideas around relating to ponygirl-type settings, some photoshoots or poking around the house with straitjackets or armbinders, some goofing around late-night at the university, or even some "public" bondage scenes, where JoBeth or Tara might deal with being pretty well tied up while Amy or Lauren have them out where someone could technically see... Many fun options, I just have to figure out what sounds best!

Don't be afraid to let me know what you guys think; the encouragement does help!

--------

I'm also thinking about Streaming too, for those of you out there familiar with Picarto. I don't actually DRAW anything myself, but I do a lot of lineart editing, flats and some limited color and shading effects. You'd get to see some kinky art get worked on, and maybe even a preview or two of upcoming pics. If anyone would be interested in that, let me know... if I fire up a stream, I'd post a journal about it here.

That covers the big stuff... More posts to come, especially if people like the art features. Got some big projects coming down the pike so stay tuned, and see you all around!

Well, almost 2 years since the last journal, I think it's about time I wrote something new! Been up to a heck of a lot lately between commissions and even a little bit of writing and I think it'd be fun to share some of that here, in case anyone has missed it!

Recent Commissions:
So many wonderful artists have been kind enough to work with my OCs, ranging from the clean and cute to the very much kinky and so many of the pictures rank among my favorites ever. I can't thank them enough for their patience and interest in working with Amy, JoBeth, Lauren and Tara and if you haven't seen these yet and like them, go check out the artist's galleries and see all the other neat stuff they do!!

Leading off with the cleaner work:

Some work by the AMAZING Psuede:

There's just not enough cute, kinky art out there, showing both parties enjoying themselves in a healthy balance of play... Even been playing around in other universes (Community, the old DCU, the X-men with Kitty Pryde), but I wanted to lead off with the ones closest to my heart. Here's hoping some people out there find the fun in it all, and if you like any of it, go check out the rest of these artists' wonderful galleries - they all come fully recommended!!

For the future, I'm thinking about featuring these commissions or even some artists a little more regularly. Would anyone out there be interested in seeing more regular posts with the commissions and new artist fun, or should I just stick with the absurdly rare never updates? XD

Writing Update:
I've been working away a lot more regularly now that I've busted through the block that devastated me in 2013... Been focused more on short stories with a fun, kinky focus, but the first one of which was lost when my comp died back in February. That really killed motivation for a while, but I managed to get back on the proverbial horse again. I've already finished one Amy & JoBeth short (layered latex, bolero SJs and hoods anyone?), and I'm making very good progress on a Lauren & Tara short (leathery fun!) that takes palce a little further into their timeline... Hopefully I can get that one finished and I'll have funner things to start posting again!

I'll finish up Amy, JoBeth, Lauren & Tara 03 here in the coming weeks, if anyone is waiting for that and once that's done, here's hoping I can keep the creative groove going into more fun short stories that get all 4 girls having fun with their shared hobbies!

Let me know if there's anything people would be interested in seeing, whether it's the stories at last or more journals with artist updates and features every so often. Until next time, it's back to commissioning, writing and movie-watching as always - thanks for stopping by and hope you like what you see!
