As my own fursona, I am now a whole one years old. So, I think now is an arbitrarily good time to go ahead and retire the name *Lemniscate*. I started off as Lemniscate on SoFurry and InkBunny, but ha...
Happy New Year ...I guess? To be honest, just like last journal, I'm kinda glum. Last year I started off with hopes and dreams. This year I start off with a little bit heartburn and a lot of anxiety....
This year... Was sinusoidal. Up, down, up, down, up down, up down. Lots of the downs were just real-life shit. Lots of the ups actually had to do with the furry community, funnily enough. The first "...
I have been writing since before I reached double-digits in age. Weaving a tapestry of prose has always been a liberating and empowering experience for me. I grew up on being whisked away into fantastic epics and journeys, and had always fancied creating epics and journeys of my own in which others might be taken through.
While I once dreamed, and even tried, of publication, I have settled into enjoying the art of the pen as a hobby. My hope and goal is to write stories that everyone can enjoy and find satisfaction in; and that those who tend to dig much deeper than the surface can find themselves buried in rich ideas and intricately designed details.
If you are a new reader, please take your first step here, and let me know if the journey fails to beckon you onward.
----------
All of my work is made public (with access-limitations in place as reasonably necessary with accordance to site policies). This means that no work is made exclusive for any individual or group, beyond access-limitations that would require to have an account on the site(s) that I publish to. Any use of exclusivity is for collaboration purposes only, and is temporary until the work is finished.
I am not open for requests or commissions. I do not accept monetary compensation of any form for my work (i.e. donations).
I am open to trades and collaborations, by request and as I have time, and I may reach out for doing so as well. I am only a writer, so if you are an artist please bear that in mind.
I may gift stories of my own volition. I also accept gifts of stories or art (:P) Please read below for more specific details.
If I write a story for you, you are welcome to post it if you would like (I'd like to know where, though). Since posting stories is different for a lot of sites, I will provide the material for posting, if you wish to post it.
For information on the themes I will / won't / might write, go here.
Adaptations of my stories are welcome, but please contact me first (I have written an adaptation and it's a lot of fun). I may request to review it prior to posting, mainly as a revision but in some cases to make sure I am okay with what was adapted; I offer this same courtesy for adaptations I do.
Use or borrowing of my characters within your own work is also by request. In some cases, I may request to review the work prior to posting, both as a revision and to ensure that I am okay with my characters' use; I offer this same courtesy for all characters I use or borrow.
----------
All of my work is inspired by a combination some personal experiences from my past, and stuff that sounds super cool in my head.
Themes in my work are not to be interpreted as things I necessarily have, will, or do believe or practice in reality; but as fictitious expressions meant to provoke thought, and entertain.
Any departure from that will be clarified within the piece of work, in some form (i.e. disclaimer / description).
If you have questions or concerns, please contact me.
