Hi All,

It's been assumed most likely for a while, but might as well make it officially official. Dusty's Trails is on indefinite hiatus. Vraddock, my good friend and co-writer, delves deep into the heart of the subject over at this link with a long, detailed and informative blog: https://aryion.com/g4/blog/Vraddock/51861

As for my take on it... Dusty's Trails was definitely my break out moment and she was a beloved character for good reason. I enjoyed the project while working on it, especially working with  Vraddock on the story direction and characters and planning, and also  Dddddd2 for the character design. I met a lot of good people and loyal fans, and that's part of why it's always been hard to just come out and say it. While I still like Dusty as...

Hi guys,

I offered a commission once a long time ago, and forcing myself to write it put me off commissions for, well, about 3 years. I never even ended up posting it, though the commissioner was satisfied with the result. If he reads this don't feel bad about it, I shouldn't have accepted it at the time. Anyhoo motivation's been a bit wibbly-wobbly lately, and my job's not as lucrative or time consuming as it used to be, so I've been thinking about opening up for a while. I'd like to possibly use this fund for art commissions which can be pricy for the good stuff, so I'm looking at 2p a word. That's £20 or just over $25 for a thousand words. Hopefully I'll prove myself worth every penny there. To be on the safe side I'll take half the negotiated fee before starting and half...

Since I just posted something so maybe people will check this kind of thing out, I might as well put out that it's rolling around to my birthday again on the 17th of this month, September. Not got much else to add beyond my ascendancy into the rank of the mid 20-s. Been a tumultuous year, especially most recently, and my least productive year yet, but hey, time's a changing.

https://cainiams-clop-corner.tumblr.com/ So I was deliberating on making an AMA blog at some point, since I really don't talk to my audience so much and they might have questions and things, when a friend pointed out Tumblr is basically an AMA but I can also do pictures and use some of the hundred or so commissions and gifts I keep getting and not doing anything with. So... yeah, I now have a Tumblr. Ask me or my OCs anything you want in character or out!

I do! http://www.writing.com/main/interact/it ... oyal-Guard is my latest thing that I am doing in my eternal quest to not do the same thing twice. It's looking a little barebones, but I am still fleshing it out and will be adding. To people who want to see exclusive, authentic writing by myself I advise you bookmark the recent chapters for your regular clop patrol. It's ready to be added to by anyone who wishes to be a part and I will be supporting it with at least an addition a day for the next month. If you want to discuss anything about it, then leave comments here or PM me personally here or there or whatever. The only thing required to make...

So, yeah, it's a new year. I opened my gallery back in February last year, and I have to say I'm still surprised at how generally well received my writing has been by you guys. Dusty's Trails has been running for almost as much time, since March on a very on and off rate as I'm sure avid readers have noticed. Now that a new year has begun, and my resolution is to get more on top of update schedules, I find myself asking what is it that you guys, you who read and follow my content, actually want to be seeing from me. The rp logs will continue unabated, because they're pretty simple to adapt, but do you guys want to see a lot more DT? Would you rather I got back to fic writing? Do you want to see another project? Should I spearhead an interactive? Try to figure out how Quest works? Try...

So I see people uploading rp logs here all the time, and I am a rather prolific rper, less so a writer as of late, heh. To attempt to balance this out I've uploaded a trio of rps, all based in my vorish Fallout Equestria setting. If people like these, then I'll be sure to upload more on occasion, such as when I'm having trouble with a particular DT Chapter, or perhaps just after a particularly enjoyable one. All rps will of course be non-canon. I do have permission from every person I rp with to upload these particular pieces. So please enjoy... and more importantly comment if you would like to see more of these!

So, things have been quiet for a while unfortunately. Vraddock and I have both been busy with personal lives. A recent spat of illness combined with training and general business in my professional and personal life has left me very drained and my drive for writing has been at an all time low. Vraddock hasn't been able to cover for me as he has been the emotional support for a few close friends who are going through trying times. So between the two of us not much has succeeded in being done. We're both managing the somewhat precarious balancing act a little better, so we are tentatively pushing on to continue with this joint writing project with the chapter Vraddock wrote which has been uploaded tonight.

I must apologise for never truly shining the spotlight on several well...

Just a quick announcement that Dusty's Trails has a super duper special guest chapter up! Once pre-reader, Vraddock is now making strides into the vore mlp fandom, huge strides! It's really good, so check it out! Even if you don't follow Dusty's Trails so far, it's a self contained bad end scene, so if you like all the things I like in vore, you'll love it. Find it here: http://aryion.com/g4/view/303846

Yep, just to say I'm not dead... despite my writing grinding to a halt. It's a combination of factors that will hopefully resolve soon. Regardless I will try and have something up tomorrow. Probably Dusty's Trails.
