Hi. I'm Xial. I am not a visually inclined artist. I do like to do color work whenever I have the muse for it. Some of it goes here. Some of it goes elsewhere. My art lies in the realm of the keyboard, if my fickle muse allows it.
I post works that I've finished on SoFurry or Inkbunny as the mood strikes, and I'm also posting them to Lick the Blue Things.
ePub readiness is a priority in my books, and I will try to make my works available as ePubs as I complete segments that can stand alone. Thank you to electronic book devices for making reading cool again.
On nerdworks: I am the author of a conversion stylesheet for FurAffinity called Vaunt Dark. If you use it, thank you. It is no longer maintained, though.
My policy on drawing a Xial, or any other character in my list is fairly simple: "YES YOU CAN DRAW ME!" :)
I am not really big on roleplay these days, but if you talk a good game... I'm still probably going to turn you down politely. :)
I don't mind conversation about technical things, but please don't ask me to help you build a computer. While I'm technically capable of it, and can usually find really decent pricing, I find it tedious to pull together a machine idea for someone for free, only to be second-guessed by someone else.
Speaking of conversation, there's one thing I ask that you respect: If my messenger is set to away, or I've launched a game, please let me play in peace? I like you all, but waiting until I launch a game to suddenly spit messages at me is upsetting. Thank you. :)
