Here's my first commissioned story - I got permission to paste the link to it:

It was definitely interesting writing to someone else's guidelines but fun :)

Hey! Working on it but things kind of came up that slowed things down. I hope to ramp it up soon!

I know I’m odd, different, weird, & a freak, both self proclaimed & from being told I'm by the masses, but I can say this, "I am me, I will always be me, & I don’t need you to like, accept, or even put up with it because most of you only wear masks."

I think that both the she wolf and the change are very well written stories over all. Two quick questions. Will the change ever be up on DA (out of curiosity I already have it) and two which do you feel like you did a better job on?

You mean will I ever release it for free (including the illustrations) on Deviantart? No, I doubt it. Buying 35 illustrations for a great artist like Bruno was not cheap and I couldn't do it all out of pocket so I have an agreement with him on future sales as well. I only barely made back what I paid out of pocket and that didn't cover all the illustrations. I release stories like Skin, Unchained, The She-Wolf (and future ones I have planned) for free but illustrated versions will be paid versions. For example, the illustrated version of Skin will probably be $2.50 when it's released in a week or two. I'm trying to balance free stories and paid stories so I don't seem incredibly greedy. Is it working? :)

For the two stories, I'd say I did a better job on The She-Wolf even though it was more rushed. The Change was the first thing I'd ever written since high school a looooooooong time ago and I'm still learning a style and working on grammar, story telling, etc... The She-Wolf is four stories after The Change so I'm getting a little better at it, I think. Which did you think?

I liked both. You really captured the era of the time in The She Wolf which is what made it so good. And as for you releasing the stories, your doing fine but what I meant was just release the literature part for it. You don't have to include the drawings. Overall though nice job

You know what? Why not. Maybe I'll just follow a model of charging for the illustrated versions and allowing the non-illustrated versions to be free. Let me try it and see how that works.

I've just downloaded and read the text-only version of 'The Change' from Smashwoirds. Really good, OldDog and I look forward to hearing more about that pack.

Thanks! I'll be working on a sequel one of these days. Still kicking around ideas and such.
