New store coming!

 I'm very happy to announce that Ive finished a story. I was playing around with an AI image generator and was able to put together a series of images that kind of told a story. It was a frustrating experience for the most part, trying to generate images that had any consitancy. More frustrating was when I'd finallly get an image that looked right, but the character would have six fingers or worse.

Anyway, I finally got around to putting words to the story (those are all mine). I will be uploading it shortly.

FYI, the comic I was working on in late 2023 is on hold, but not abandonded. Also, a TG story I wrote in 2014 might actually see the light of day this year. It being illustrated by a wonderful artist. There'll be over 150 color illustrations and it will be on TGComics website as a premium feature. 

I hope everyone had a great 2024.

Computer is back online!

 Hello again,

My rendering computer is working once again. I'm installing Daz as I type this. Hopefully the install of all of my assets will go quickly and I can get back to rendering soon.

I'll do my best to keep you updated.

Comic status

 Hello,

The comic I've been working on has hit a couple snags. The first was creative. I didn't like the way the final part was going. It was a struggle technically, each scene was taking way too long to create and was a big headache. I also didn't like aspects of it, story-wise. I decided to start over on the final section. I came up with a different way to tackle the final part, which was more satisfying creatively and would be easier to do in Daz. I got side tracked for a while, but I had some time off coming up, which I knew would be a great time to get my comic rendering back into high gear.

Then the primary drive on my rendering computer went tits up. I lost my Daz setup, but not the renders or the scene files. The comic is safe. Resetting up Daz will be a pain and time consuming, but I kind of wanted to do it anyway. 

So, instead of rendering scenes during my time off, I will be fixing my computer and then reinstalling everything in Daz. This will delay the release of the comic. I wish I had better news.

School Balance PDF

 Hello,

FYI, I've added a link to the PDF of my comic School Balance on the Comics page of this blog.

I'm busy working on another comic and it is getting close to being ready to post. It's much bigger than School Balance. It is already twice its size and I have another big section to finish before it is competed.

I'll keep you informed.

My first comic

Hello! Sorry for going so long without posting. I have not been completely idle since I last posted. Last summer I started learning Daz3d. I even made a 3D comic! It is called "The Plan" and is 219 pages long. It is TG in nature and you can read it over at TGcomics.com. https://tgcomics.com/tgc/comics/the-plan/

Hello again

 Hello there.

Yes, I am still alive. Given that we are in the midst of a global pandemic I thought it might be time that I said that.

I don't have a story to post right now, but the good news is that I have been doing a whole lot more writing than I did last year. I've been bouncing from story to story for the most part, adding a bit to this one or that one. I did manage to finish another draft of the story that I tentatively called "new dad" and nearly doubled the length of it. I'd been revising it off and on for the last couple years and was never really satisfied with the ending. I wrote several different endings, but the one I liked the best was kind of a cliff hanger and I didn't want to end the story that way. I finally decided to explore that ending and see where it led me and the answer was an additional 22,000 words.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone is having a great December and I wish you all a great 2020!

It is my fervent hope that this new year will see me posting stories to this blog again. I fully intend to finish Heather's story, but I do not know when it will be done. I have a number of other stories that I have been working off and on again. I'd probably get more headway if I worked on just one, instead of several, but I can't seem to help myself. I wish I had more hopeful news to those who want to read another story of mine.

That Which We Hate

Hello,

So, I've been posting some writing on the internet again. It isn't much, but it's more than I was posting. The Changing Mirror has quite a number of interactive story threads, one of which is titled "That Which We Hate". The premise is that there is an apartment complex and people who move into it find themselves changing into something they despise. I've posted to the thread many times over the years. I'd forgot all about it until Anonymous51 reminded me about it in a comment to this blog earlier this month.

I've been having a lot of fun adding threads over the last couple of weeks and it feels good to be posting online once again.

Hello again

So, I never got around to posting an update on my writing progress like I said I would back in February. Sorry about that. I haven't written all that much since I last posted. Most of my writing time has been spent on the story that is being illustrated for TGComics.com. The illustrations look amazing. The artist doing the work is very talented. Still, there is lots to do even if I am not the one creating the illustrations. I don't know when that story will drop, but I suspect that it will be more than a year from now.

The results are in

I want to thank everyone who voted in the poll, left a comment or sent me an email to let me know which story that like to see worked on next. I really appreciate the input.

Jersey Shored 2 won out, so I'll be working on that one first. Since it was such a close second, I'll follow up with the next chapter of Heather's story. After that I'll most likely work on the next commission in line. At that point I think that I'll put up another poll and let you decide what comes next.

Besides working on Jersey Shored 2, I am also finishing up the latest revision for the TG story that will eventually be posted to the TG Comics website. Femur has been giving me some amazing feedback. I've had to put a lot of work into the story, but I think that the finished product will be worth the effort.

I'll be posting more of the story, "Spray for Trouble" that Firingwall has been writing for me in the coming days.

Thanks for listening

Varian

I need some input

Does it ever feel like you spend more time trying to decide what to watch on Netflix than you finally spend watching your show? That's what I feel like with my writing at the moment. I have too many writing projects. I want to write them all, but when it comes time to actually write, I end up wasting time, and especially energy, trying to decide which project I am going to work on.

So, I have placed a poll on my blog and I am going to let you help me decide which story I'll work on next. I'm keeping the selection down to four choices to start.

Heather chapter 14 (Heather goes wild at a house party)

Jersey Shored 2 (A tanning bed starts changing people. There'll be more hot tub action, too)

The Road Trip part 7 (The gang crashes a wedding)

Something Else. (If this one wins I'll make another poll with a bunch of my other stories. Comments added to this post will count as a vote, too.)

Here is a list of other projects that fall into the Something Else category.

Rafting trip (Primarily TG story about five guys in their 20s who are transformed into a family of four with the fifth guy becoming the family pet. It is about 3/4 written.)

Keeping up with Kim K (A geeky girl is taken under Kim K's wing and is slowly transformed in body and mind)

The Man (There is a man who will grant your wish for a price. Haylee wants to ace her college entrance exam and the man wants her to become a smoker. When she balks at this he ups the price - about 2k words written so far)

The Ring (Taylor encounters a genie who grants wishes, but only ones she wants to grant. The genie has a mischievous streak. Taylor soon finds herself hanging out with a  group of metal heads at her high school. First draft is complete)

Ghost 2 (This is a TG take on The Birth of Bethany. In this version it is Paul, Elizabeth's boyfriend, who encounters the spirit Wilson's house. First draft is complete. 30+k)

Sleepover (A group of high school girls have a run in with cigarettes from the Tobacconists shop. This one has racial TF in it. First draft is complete. 40+k)

Trailer Park (A college coed and her mother are stranded in a trailer park that is always looking for new, permanent residents. First draft complete. 50+k)

Road Crew (A road contruction crew are hit by the magical wand from The Road Trip. TG/AR. first draft complete. aprx 6k)

Horse Ranch (A couple visit a horse ranch that has been affected by the magical wand from The Road Trip. 3/4 complete aprx 10k)

One of the girls from the epilogue of A Perfect Match, Every Time (short story that explores the transformation from academic scholar, to fitness instructor and a eventually stripper. Not started, but it sounds like a fun idea to explore further.)  

The Encounter (A young woman hits a pedestrian on a lonely road late at night in her mother's car. The pedestrian turns out to be quite demonic. As punishment it forces her into assisting it in the corruption of the people in her life.)

Lots and lots more.

Well, that's it for now. I'll post the next part of Spray for trouble in the next day or so.

Thanks for voting!

Anticipation, again

Once again I find myself at a place where I am eagerly anticipating the release of several different comics and stories. I thought that I'd share them with you again.
Updated 3/4/2018

The Butterfly Salon 4 "Housewives" by Keshara
This is a 3-D comic and the second part of the 4th "season" of the Butterfly Salon saga, created by Keshara. The sage began with the Creswell Industries stories which are free to read at The Big Closet. The Butterfly Salon "Season" 1 is available for free on TGComics.com. The stories and comics feature lots of men being feminized, women being slutified, Futanari on female, Futanari on male and much more. A good portion of part 1 of The Butterfly Salon 4 dealt with the headquarters of a feminist society being turned into a brothel. Keshara estimates the comic will be ready around the end of February 2018
Update 3/1/18: Keshara mentioned that the comic will most likely be released on the weekend of 3/10/18

Tamara Vincent's next story
No idea when it's going to be released, but like everything else that she writes, I'll defiantly be reading it first thing.

Perfect Match news

Hello,

The last part of A Perfect Match, Every Time is nearing completion and will most likely be posted tomorrow. It looks like there is also going to be a chapter 13, which I will post at the same time as chapter 12.

I thought that I might share a little on the genesis of this story. I'm always curious about how a writer comes up with their ideas. Maybe that is because I am a writer. Maybe to everyone else it is terribly boring. On the off chance that you are the kind of person who likes to know, here goes.

More Perfect Match on its way.

Hello,

Just a quick note to let you know that more of A Perfect Match, Every Time is coming in a day or two. Also, I'll be posting two chapters back to back, instead of just one. I will try to do that again with chapters 10 and 11.

When I first announced this story I said that there would be 10 chapters. Well, as with a lot of my stories (read: all), it grew as I revised it. There are now 12 chapters.

There's still a lot of story to tell. I hope that you're enjoying it so far.

Stories on the way!

Hello!

I celebrate Christmas and have always loved this time of year. To all those who also celebrate Christmas I wish you a Merry Christmas. If you celebrate something else this time of year I wish you a Happy Holiday, which ever it may be. If you do not celebrate a holiday, then I say I hope you are having a wonderful winter, unless you're in the southern hemisphere, in which case I wish you a great summer.

I have a couple of stories that I will be posting soon. One is part of a Christmas exchange on the TSA-Talk mailing list. I'll also post the story I receive if it is okay with the author.

The second story is my Christmas (holiday, winter, summer) present to you. I was thinking of selling it on Amazon or even using it to start a Patreon, but then I decided that since it was the Christmas (holiday, winter, summer) season, why not give it away? Plus, I figured that I'd need to get a business license to to sell the story and I didn't feel like going through the hassle just yet.

What's up 11/30/17

Hello all

I thought that I'd give everyone an update on where I'm at story wise. On my last post I mentioned that I was revising a story for tgcomics.com and that I was planning on participating in NanoWriMo. Neither worked out like I'd planned due to real life things like my job getting crazy busy in late October.

I still haven't finished the revision on the tgcomics.com story, but I am close to being done. At the start of November I decided to skip NanoWriMo this year since, due to work, I wasn't able to write much of anything for the first week. Then around the middle of the month a story idea that had been peculating in my head for the last few weeks came to fruition and I had to write it. I just finished the first draft and I was able to get 31,000 words written during November after all.

What's going on - 10/5/2017

Well, it's been ten months since I posted one of these story updates. I figured that it was high time that I do so again.

I've been spending quite a bit of my writing time since the last post working on Heather's story. It has grown into quite the monster. When I started revising it in early December 2016 it was 56,188 words long. I've already posted 101,131 words and I still have at least another 20k to post (probably more). I've also done some other writing, but it's been mostly the Heather show since my last update.

I'm taking a bit of a break from Heather's story at the moment. I'm revising a story that will be illustrated and then posted on TGComics.com. It will be back to Heather's story once it's been revised.

Status update

Hello,

Sorry that it's been so long since I posted part 13 of Heather's story. I was hoping to get it posted before the end of last month, but then another story took over for a while. I've written rough drafts of a couple stories in my journal while revising Heather's story over these last 9 months and up until recently it hasn't interrupted the revising process. At the end of July I hit upon a story that I became obsessed with for a few weeks and it ate up all of my writing time.

Good news is that I'm back to revising Heather's story and I'm starting to get excited about this next part. On a side note, I kind of go through the seven stages of grief when revising a story, except I have eight steps and some time after Acceptance it's Excitement.

Chapter 13 is nearly ready

I'm putting the finishing touches on Chapter 13 and I've decided to post it in two parts. Part 1 will likely be posted sometime tonight and end with Heather wearing something similar to this:


The second part of chapter 13 will be posted on Monday or Tuesday.

Some more good news! It looks like Tamara Vincent will have a new eBook up on Amazon in a day or two. It's called Spirit High and I know that I'll be getting a copy as soon as it's available.

Part 12 is around the corner

I'd hoped to post part 12 of Heather's story by tonight, but it's not going to happen. I am very close to being done and I have high confidence that it will be ready by tomorrow night.

I'm excited to post this part of the story. I've been wanting to get to Saturday (in the story) since I posted part 1 back in December. If I had known that it would take me until June to finally post this part of the story I may have cried at the time. Anyway, it is almost done now and I am happy to be getting closer to the end. After part 12 there are 4 or 5 more parts to post.

Thanks for reading!
