Okaaaaay I might get flack for this.

I've noticed a string of OLD servers have a ton of awesome OLD stories (Im talking pre me. as in like 80's and early 90's) And some of these servers haven't been updated in years....so. To preserve the stories on them im finding any and all stories I can that are old and rehosting them or reposting them :D

Feel free to stalk as I find and upload them. Im doing a mass upload today by story not author due to FF so heres dah links

If anyone has a story they want backed up let me know.

I plan on getting a server in the future anyway :P

-fuzzball

E: if any story gets whacko formatting let me know.

Im worried more about rehosting than formatting for now :P

Also I highly recommend pocket fiction for IOS users that read a lot off of fanfiction

E: both formats of the werewolf(C1999) are up and live :D

Formatting is fixed as well...taking a break to hang with a friend. (hey some of us have social lives <3 )

Wherein Kickstarter makes a promise to do more good…

Illustration from “Air Dragons and Other Sky Creatures” on Kickstarter

I love you, Kickstarter logo. You match my hair.

With politics, war, and terror in the news 24/7, it’s a rare thing for me to turn up the volume on the car radio, but the sentence “Kickstarter Inc. is no more” kind of stood out. And, yeah, that wasn’t the whole story, or really the story at all. Kickstarter will continue funding cat-based card games, minimalist wallets, and Baby’s First Vampire Novel until doomsday, but the company has a new mission, and legal responsibility. It’s become a Public Benefit Corporation.

What’s that mean? I’m a little hazy on the precise consequences of this decision (and the subject is a little hazy, too), but to the best of my understanding, a standard corporation’s primary (but not exclusive) duty is to provide financial benefit to its shareholders. Does this mean “maximize profits for our owners at any cost?” Well, no, not technically, but anybody that’s been laid off to make a company’s apparent profit higher will tell you that profit is king, and any decision that lowers the company’s financial returns had better be looked at very carefully. Nobody wants angry shareholders.

A Public Benefit Company has more than one bottom line. Part of their company’s stated purpose is to provide a material, positive impact on society and the environment, and may be further refined by committing to serving low-income communities, promoting art and science, or any other benefit to society as a whole. And legally, a third-party group will review them, and make sure they’re making the kind of positive difference they committed to. By making this kind of positive change a powerful part of the company’s structure, the company ensures that they must put their funds and effort toward the greater good of society and the world, and won’t be torn apart by angry shareholders for this sort of behavior.

You can read about Kickstarter’s new business model on their blog. Amazingly, there were no “nays” on the vote to reincorporate under this new structure (I can’t say it was a unanimous decision, because “abstain from voting” is a thing). I’ll be curious to see if Indiegogo follows them down this path–Indiegogo’s already very pro-nonprofit, and it wouldn’t be out of character for Indiegogo to follow suit. I’m actually surprised that they didn’t beat Kickstarter there.

Reviews this week:Two loooong articles about the new 2D fighter Them’s Fightin’ Herds that used to be “My Little Pony, Fighting is Magic,” and a ramble about three virtual novels funding on Patreon, each with a strong sci-fi theme.

  For a “complete” list of furry/fur-friendly crowdfunding projects, check out the Project Page New Projects Art

Air Dragons and Other Sky Creatures (Ends: 10/14/2015)
A book, art set, and illustrated card deck of colorful dragons, griffins, and other flappy things.
Way over goal!

A quirkly clip-art derived world of bizaare fictional animals, and the neo-Victorian voyage that discovered them.
Confession: I have a thing for Victorian clip-art.

Comics/Graphic Novels

Aww, Feathers! (Ends: 10/22/2015)
A young feathered lizard thing goes to college in the ‘Mormon Bubble’ of Provo, Utah. Slice of life comic.
Oddly, this is the second Mormon furry webcomic I’ve stumbled across in this gig.

Tabletop Games

Burrows and Badgers (Ends: 10/5/2015)
A new line of anthro miniatures for the skirmish game Oathsworn

Little Pig (Ends: 10/22/2015)

A story-driven dieselpunk tabletop RPG with anthro animals fight in the skies over 1930s Europe
Sky pirates! This really is a gritty version of TailSpin, isn’t it?

The 2D My Little Pony fighter nixed by Hasbro and resurrected by Faust herself comes to Indiegogo!
There’s a lot here, check my article for more of the story.

…Causes

…Just for fun

Gig Bridge (Ends: 10/13/2015): A fun social networking site connecting DJs and mixes, venues and gigs, dancers and party-goers. A LONG way from goal though.
DustyZahrt NES Metal Arrangements (Ends: 10/23/2015): A project from the world of video game remixes, album-length metal soundtracks to classic 8bit games.

 What’s Corbeau Backing This Week?
Patreon projects are like radiation in your body, you just keep acquiring. I added two Patreon pages to my monthly money disbursement this week–the e-book Laika Doshi and GeekDad, the parent organization for the nerd-music podcast, Hipster, Please. I need to clear out these monthly payments, they’re starting to add up, but…what to cut? :(

This question has been looming over me for a while. Which fandom has the best economy? I'm guessing the two largest fandoms are the furry and the brony fandoms and they both have really big conventions, social networks, and a lot of businesses within the fandoms. For example, we have lots of fursuit makers and studios.

Someone do the math here, how much do you think our economy is worth? Does this fandom have a better economy than the others?

So, finally got this chapter done...

Quiet Falls, all six chapters.

First thing you might notice, the front page of the document changed, and that's because I added a link to take you to my "Website" I made. Here's the site by itself:

AdvancedAzrielAngel's Writing Hub.

Basically, I wanted a place to put all my stories so they were easy to find. I figured that'd do the trick nicely.

Also, update on my last writing request thread, I'm working on ArgentStonecutter's writing prompt. I decided to turn it into a multi-chapter story, so I don't know how long that'll take to get a ten-page chapter done to release. The other requests, because of a lack of interest and time, plus writer's block, I'm not going to be doing right now. I'm sorry about that, it's just, I don't want to force out a crappy story for someone.

In other news, this isn't 'new' but I have a Twitter account if somebody wants to follow me and see random tweets once a day or something. I'm @AzrielForReal on there.

So... yeah. Also, for shits and giggles, I made my own subreddit /r/AdvancedAzrielAngel and I also made my own wiki. I wanna see if someone can find the wiki. There's literally nothing on it, and there probably won't be for a while until I can get some help with that stuff, but it's really like the least important thing. I just thought it'd be funny more than anything.

I honestly think that it is massively overhyped by its very creepily young fanbase. Thoughts?

Okay, so tonight my big brother had his friends over, and when my brother was gone, I told most of his friends that I am a Bisexual, so there is where I feel accomplished that I've told someone. But a few hours after I told his friends, my brother got drunk and I asked him "How would you feel if I went both ways?" He just stared at me and said "Not... not right now." I don't know if he's upset, disappointed, angry, or confused, but my anxiety is too much to where I'm shaking. I've taken deep breaths to calm down, but I just wanted to let you know that I am more comfortable in hopes that it's something to be happy about, but at the same time this is kind of asking what do you think my brother is thinking? It's mixed signals for me, and I don't know what to think.

Halp.

I went to salt lake comic con and got a partial, I went with a what I thought was a friend at the time, apperently the whole day he was taking pictures of me telling people how retarted I was and how "autistic" I was being, he even yanked my tail and threw it away when I wasn't looking, and wouldn't confess. Now everyone I know is talking now about how retarded I am... Why can't we all just be friends?
