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:

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. 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...
