[Warning: Small rant/venting included; TL;DR at the bottom]

I think any artist can relate with me on this one.

I've been working hard on a suit to sell, and I finally put it up for sale. It's unique, great design and color, and very aesthetically appealing [or so I'm told], but... no one will bite.

I'm caught between my love for my work, my need to put out a high-quality product, and having the means to profit at least a little bit from it to pay the bills.

Where do you draw the line? I've seen downright bad-looking suits sell and sell quickly simply because the price was low. I can't bring myself to make and sell a sub-par product, but, at this point, it seems that people can't afford higher priced items or simply value a lower, more affordable prices over design, comfort, and quality.

I love what I do, but I'm very torn. I have bills that need to be paid, and I feel like just saying "Fuck it!" some days and building a sloppy mess of a suit that I don't put much effort into just to sell it for 100$ or so. Make and sell 10 of those bad boys and BOOM! Bills paid. Seems to work for others. I dunno.

TL;DR: Fellow artists of any medium, what do you think? Churn out 50 doodles to sell for a dollar each? Or spend time on making a beautiful piece that may take lots more time to make and get someone to buy?

Sorry if something similar has been posted recently, but I need some advice. My boyfriend is a "non furry," he doesn't mind the fandom and appreciates when I send him cute art, but when we start discussing the fandom he just doesn't get the appeal behind it. I've explained my story to him and why I like it, but he doesn't understand why we dress up in fursuits or purchase art of our fursonas. I need someone to help me with this because I don't actually know the answer to this.

Hello and welcome to this week's Writing Prompt Wednesday! Sorry it's late. This time the prompt is to write a furry story in the Roaring Twenties, because this is our subreddit theme this month.

As always, stories can be a maximum of 5 comments long, if you need to write more than 5 comments leave a link to an external site after your 5th reply. If you can fit it in under 5 comments, it's preferred that you just put it here. No erotica, swearing is fine.

Remember to leave suggestions for future Writing Prompt Wednesdays in the future, leave your suggestions as seperate comments!

The time is nigh for tommy guns and classic film noir, so get to writing!

How do you guys stay motivated to practice your art/continue drawing? I've been home sick all day and every time I've put pencil to paper, I start thinking, 'This is not coming out how I want it to...' or 'How do I expect myself to finish this if it looks this bad already?' Advice?

EDIT: Thanks to everyone who has given their advice, I really do take it to heart!

Dear Readers,

In a recent letter a site visitor added a comment saying they received help from a person calling himself the Prophet Suleman. This person says he provides help for those with relationship problems.

Having never heard of the Prophet Suleman before, I decided to check it out. There was no website for this person, but the comment writer had provided an email address, so I wrote Suleman. Here is our conversation....

Papabear: Hi, someone suggested you as a resource for advice, so I wanted to write and find out more about who you are and if you have a website for more information.

Suleman: Hello you are welcome to my temple you have nothing to worry about as you have come to the right place to get the help you desire what I want you to do for me now is to tell me the situation of things with you relationship.

Papabear: Thanks. I'm fine. I'm actually an advice columnist. I am writing to you to see if you are a legitimate resource because someone wrote to me about you. I still don't see a website or anything else with information about you. If all you have is an email address, I cannot recommend my readers talk to you.

Suleman: Do you need my help?

Papabear: Would you answer my question?

Suleman: I dont have at now once you see the work of my spells then you will know how powerful my temple is so you have to come up with you information so that I can help you out ok.

Papabear: Are your spells free? 

Suleman: Yes they are free, but the only thing you have to do is to buy the items needed for the spells ok.

And there you have it, dear readers. You have been warned. The Prophet Suleman is trying to sell you potions and snake oil. I would advise anyone to stay well away from him.

Unless someone is a licensed professional, such as a psychologist, psychiatrist, or professional counselor or social worker, please don't give money to people like this, and certainly don't give them your credit card or other private financial information. Remember, I do not charge for this column or my advice, and a big reason why is that I am not licensed as a professional therapist. Remember, too, that you are under no obligation to follow any of my advice at any time. I am just a furry trying to help.

Papabear

Link to the game

Corruption Of Champions is an addicting adult text based game that carries alot of furry characters with their own personalities and different options for the more...funner.. activities And even though there are no shiny pictures the storyline has several layers much like the characters at first it seems like another blatent nsfw game wih just "here you go ," on it but as you explore the world and the people a story unravels (But make no mistake good story or not plenty of fap-worthy content)

TL:DR. too long? Did not read?! This game aint for you

Link to the game

(Overly) new subreddit for the game /r/fenoxo
