Yes, I know, FINALLY another story. Finishing this one was harder than most, but I haven't written for a while so there was a lot of rust to push through. I had originally planned on wrapping up another story request (remember those?) but I wanted to revisit Mythanthrope first. Rest assured, I will be writing at least one more of the October story requests.
What else to say? Not much. I'm trying to take advantage of my now copious free time to pursue various creative projects, including writing, while searching for new and hopefully stable long-term employment. The Daemoneye Publishing forums are still down and revamping them is still on my to-do list. Beyond that, well, I do have other plans (don't we all?) but nothing substantial. Nothing worth sharing (yet). I'm trying to look at this period as an opportunity, but it's all too easy to just drift along, doing nothing when you're unemployed.
More, hopefully more exciting news to follow...
Happy Easter!

Searching for a new Webcomic Artist and/or guests
The Lycanthrope Club Webcomic is looking for a new artist and/or guest artists. The previous artist, Abby Cao, no longer has the time to draw the comic so we're looking for an artist to take over and/or guest artists for some filler pages. The Lycanthrope Club Webcomic is based on the novella, series of short stories and fictional universe of the same name. The comic has been going for around four years with a monthly update schedule. It chronicles the emergence of a relatively benign form of lycanthropy (werewolves) in a small town and what follows. The comic does feature violence, blood, some naughty language, nudity, etc. - call it a hard PG-13 to soft R. Becoming the artist of the Lycanthrope Club is a long term commitment. We are looking for someone who can reliably illustrate a full, multi-panel black and white (inked) page once per month, possibly twice per month if the Patreon picks up following a provided script. You will be paid per page and receive a share of the
Apologies for the Lack of Updates...
...But it turns out if you write too much werewolf fiction, well, see for yourself. It should wear off by the end of Halloween... In all seriousness, I'm back to writing. I plan on getting the last chapter of A Mythical Match Up - A Jubilant Jinn up within a week or so. It should be followed by a new Mythical Match Up story or continuation of an existing story in the MM universe, possibly a new Patreon Exclusive Lycanthrope Club story and possibly an entirely new story. In addition, for anyone in the greater Sacramento area, I will be attending ConQuest Sacramento November 11th through November 13th. Look for the Daemoneye Publishing booth. I will be there mostly representing the Tabletop RPG side of Daemoneye, but will be happy to talk about the novellas if anyone asks. Happy Halloween!
End of 2021 Status Update (story requests closed)
Update: I have compiled all of the story requests and will start working on them soon. If I decide to use your story idea I will contact you and let you know. 2021 is almost over. All in all, I think it was a better year than 2020, though the bar wasn't particularly high in that regard. In any event, it's time for another end-of-year retrospective/prospective. You've probably noticed a dearth of activity on my dA page and the Patreon over the last four months. The simple explanation is that I was teaching five separate classes for four different colleges. My day job is very much feast or famine so you take what you get. However, I won't say my work left me with no free time or energy because it didn't; I should have gotten more done. As for why I didn't, well, I think it was a combination of factors. First, there was the isolating effect of the pandemic. I am an admitted introvert - bordering on shut-in - but I did have hobbies that involved leaving my home prior to COVID. Beyond
Update 08/23/2021
Apologies for the long delay between updates (to both my dA page and the webcomic)! Abby Cao (the artist) and I were busy and/or delayed owing to the start of the new semester, health issues and other dreary stuff. I just posted a new entry in the Mythical Match Up universe and a new character profile of the protagonist from The Lycanthrope Club Webcomic, Tiffany Melody, in her werewolf form! With any luck a new page of the webcomic will follow shortly. Still cooking up some new things. Keep your eye on the page. -Heliotroph

I was unemployed for a couple of years and I know how hard it can be to stay motivated and keep busy. Dunno if it helps, but I really enjoy your writing, especially Mythanthrope atm, although I've been reading your stuff since you first posted The Woods. I check DeviantArt every week or so just to see if you've posted anything new. So stay positive and good luck!
