January 2023 Updates

Happy new year, my generous supporters. Thank you for staying with me into 2023. I have some big plans for this year, including a whole new process for handling commissions. Let me give you a description of some things I have in the works.

This year, expect to see my writing in new places. I mentioned last month that I was looking for other websites where I could publish my writing. Several people mentioned Fur Affinity as an option. While that may not be appropriate for everything I write, I did want to put up at least a few of my animal transformation stories. Here’s the link to my page: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/lostandwhatever. I have also been checking out Pixiv and Literotica, but I’m not quite sure if those places work for me or not. Pixiv has a difficult interface for posting English-language stories and Literotica prohibits stories featuring characters under 18 years old. As it is, I think FA is a good start for branching out into new places.

And now, the big change, I have revamped the whole process of how I handle writing commissions. Previously, I had just been accepting commissions as they came in, but that was a lot of work scheduling and keeping in touch with people. Then, I switched to taking commissions through Patreon, but that was on a monthly schedule, meaning I was having trouble keeping up with the amount of commissions. Basically, longer commissions do not fit into a monthly schedule. Also, when I limited commissions on Patreon, that ended up locking out some people from having a chance to make requests. While I very much appreciated my dedicated $25 supporters, I felt that I needed to give more opportunities to other people as well.

So, now, let me give you an overview of the new commission process. I will be posting a Google Form in another week or so that allows you to apply for a commission. The form will be open for a week or so, and then I will select several commissions to write over the next few months. Longer commissions are back, and prices have been streamlined for all levels. I will be posting further details here and on DeviantArt soon.

Now, check out the list of what I will write soon, as well as the winner of the Next Story Idea Poll for January:

1. Taller - (Growth) A girl has been cursed to grow taller. Having just passed seven feet tall, she is desperate to break the curse, but will she find out who has cursed her? And, can she reverse her growth?
2. The last Patreon commissions are on their way soon as well.
3. My Best Friend The Witch: Part 3 - This Month’s Poll Winner (Multiple Changes) What if your best friend was a witch with a tendency for magcial torture? Read another part of a short series of misadventures with Esme as told from her best friend Jaime’s perspective.
4. Mary Christmas 2 (The Ending) - Christmas never has to end but this story does. This one could qualify as my first serious extended story. After all the years since starting it, it is finally time to finish the tale. I am committed to realizing the vision I had for it so long ago.
5. Edits - (Choose Your Own TF) A phone app can edit reality. More chapters soon.
6. Two (Alternate Endings) - (TG, AR) Expect to see one of these soon:
   - Equal - The brothers divide the years equally, leaving them 6.
   - Success - Greyson somehow ends up back at 21 and Ethan stays 12.

The Next Story Idea Poll for February will be posted around January 18th. Anyone paying $3 or more can vote in the polls, and, if you have paid at least $5, you can add an idea to the next poll. Message me here or send an email to me at lostandwhatever@gmail.com before the 18th.

As always, if you have any other questions or comments to make, contact me as mentioned above.

Thank you all!
