I was worried that I would mess this up. I wasn’t really the most knowledgeable about decorating cakes and the technique used to do it.
“Rahim,” I say, gazing up from my work, “are you good with decorating cakes?”
“I’m decent. Need help?”
“Please.” He comes over and looks at my progress, motioning for me to show him how I was doing it.
“Ah, I see your problem.” He gently grabs my hand and guides me in a different direction, the frosting coming o...

“And may I ask what this ‘best day ever’ looks like? Do we have a schedule?” Rahim questions and Bradley finally releases us, ushering us closer to the entrance but not inside just yet. I watch as others pass us by, some in regular clothes and others dressed up in whatever renaissance or medieval costume they could get their hands on.
“In fact, we do. First, we need to go get ready, though.”
“Don’t say costumes,” Chris groans.

I'm not sure but I do think I did this for Wayward Road, letting you guys pick what the sneak peek would be for the story. If not, who cares, I'm doing it now, bleugh!
So, basically this is the sneak peek that will appear in Ye Olde Folly Faire. Which would you guys like to see?
- Romanced Based Fortune: Will be the shortest and will be a toss up between angst or fluff.
- Death Fortune: Will foretell a ...

“Penny for your thoughts?” I say, bumping his shoulder, “you’ve been quiet ever since Bradley and Chris brought up the idea.”
“I heard about this holiday here and there, but I never really celebrated it. Between my sister and me constantly warring, my mother’s safety, and my dad being well … my dad. Family never really seemed all that important. If anything, family was the thing that I wanted to avoid the most.”
“And you still feel that way?”

Another commission piece for you guys with the permission of the commissioner. This one was for EvilChani and her Superstition OC Bast and Zillah. They take a much needed vacation, and get in a bit of fun as well.

With the permission of Meira, she allowed me to share the piece I did for her between her Apprentice (Aleira) and M!Averill from Insight.
A big thank you to her and a here you go, to the rest of you. I had a blast writing it.

… November … So, I’m just going to be honest with you guys real quick. I’m American and as you all know November is election season. If I just disappear for a while it’s because my heart just can’t take what’s about to happen and I need to just … yea. Added with this being my last month for classes, I have no idea how tough it might be. But that one good news is that this hellscape of a year is almost over.
Anyway, to things you probably care a bit more about.

This is going to be the first character you get sneak peeks of because he’s your character, you guys created him. I really didn't have much to make this longer and give it it's own write up.
I really did bounce back and forth between what I wanted him to look like, versus what he should look like, versus what you guys gave me. Like, I can’t even remember all of the things that Caelan actually started off as. I tried different skin tones … let it be noted I didn’t draw th...

A potential hunt lands you in some interesting waters with some dangerous fish when it calls for you to go undercover to put an end to an illegal smuggling ring and auction. Are you prepared to take down the baddies, impress at the gala, and figure out how to woo the stoic Sydero?

“Syd?” I start, the words coming out breathlessly.
She smirks, adjusting herself and moving her hair to get a better look at me. “About time you get here, Roe, was beginning to think you ditched me.”
“Scared you’d be dateless?” I question, approaching her. I allow my eyes to once again travel the length of her body, butterflies emerging from their cocoons, and taking flight as I do so.
She snorts, “more like scared there’d be no entertainment.”

[[Go and sit next to her, remaining quiet.]]

[[“Toot your ass up just a bit higher.”]]
I clear my throat, “how’s it going, anyway?”
She stands, wiping the back of her hand on her forehead and unintentionally spreading the oil from the engine. I smirk, choosing to say nothing; this was always a good look on her, a rugged, mechanic look that caused my insides to stir and warm and imagination to stretch.

Sup, guys. You guys enjoy September? Because I did.
So, I’m back and just in time for my second favorite month. A few things are happening, and I need to talk about something that I did change regarding the milestone stories. Also, yay, my company Bum Studios is now officially an LLC! So, boom! I’m probably going to be making t-shirts soon so keep an eye out if you want one of those. But otherwise, let’s get into it.

It is now official! After much deliberation and conversation and more deliberation I have decided to move Insight into Twine. It's just honestly a lot of fun to mess with and I'm already far too comfortable with the code.
So, yes. Insight will pretty much be like For the Crown and thus means that it will be hosted on itch.io along with my other games.

“How does one actually get into Purgatory?” Bradley questions, leaning forward.
Jeff coughs, raising his hand as he eats a sausage link, “well, you need a reaper, and they’ll take your soul for a fee. Some reapers do a ten-year deal, others do a give me a soul, and I’ll help sort of thing, and some just ask you for things, like a fucking burger. Because all that reaper wants is a gotdamn burger!” The kitchen grows quiet as everyone stares at Jeff with different expressions, ...

Part two since the other one was messed up and I couldn't fix it unless I redid it. Sorry!
As you guys may know, I had a poll earlier that asked if you guys would want a big game that was a bit different or just two romance games. Two romance games won but do not fret any who chose the other for they are still in for future milestone stories.
For this, since there's two, I'm going to make it where the highest guy and girl gets a game. So vote for the two genders y...

Thank you all for the feedback in the other poll about personalized writing commissions. After chasing my own tail, I’ve decided to do them. I’ll try to explain it as best as possible below. This won’t start until October and with that Monthly Forecast, I’ll have more information.
What is it?
Literally a short story where you pay for a specific length and tell me all that you want, and I write it for you. If you ever wanted something canon or far more spec...

Hey guys, this is just a quick poll to see if anyone would be interested if this was offered in an additional tier or for a set price (blah blah blah).
The question: Would you be interested in personalized commissioned shorts?
For those who know what that is, just skip this, for those who don't then it's basically shorts with your characters and such. So let's say (going to call out Meira for this), Mei wants one for her Zillah romancing Roe and Zillah. Then...

“Yes, Rahim,” Sydero mimics, “you need to fight. Otherwise, you’re just going to die.” Another massive fireball lands uncomfortably close to me, and when I look up, I see smaller ones beginning to rain down. A few of the spectators take cover, shouting and screaming as the road dissolves into chaos.
“Fight me, Rahim!” Sydero roars to him, kicking him roughly and then grabbing his leg with her tail and throwing him into the nearest building’s side. “It shouldn’t be ne...

Guess what! Nobody asked for this! I was literally writing a Chris x Rahim short when a nice song came on and then I read something that was cute, and my mind just began to mush words together. It has been forever since I've done one of these, like I used to do these all the time when my description voice was A+. So the fact that I was able to even manage something was like "wowza."
Anyway, I did this with Superstition in mind, mostly Zillah, Sy...
