Hi everyone,

I'm not usually one to talk about myself, but given the state of things lately I felt I at least had to say something. You might have noticed that in the last year my output has dropped like a rock. The reason for that is pretty simple. My mental health, while never a shining example of stability, has been slipping into catastrophically bad territory. However much I might need the money, I cannot deny that the stress of writing has been a component of that. I reduced my output, and tried to focus my efforts on something new (ATOVM), but there's only so many mental breakdowns one can have in a month before accepting that even more needs to be done.

So what does this mean? As a reader of my work, probably not much. The biggest change I'm making is the removal of an kind of scheduling. Since I know there aren't many of you frothing at the mouth for the latest chapter of ATOVM (it's all good - you like what you like etc) this really won't make much of a difference. Stories, ATOVM or otherwise, will go back to releasing whenever they happen to - just like I used to do.

And that pretty much sums it up. Take care and have yourselves a good weekend.

Hi everyone, Sorry for being so quiet lately. For the last few months I have been working on my first long-form series, and here it is: Another Tale of Vox Machina. This What If? take on the adventures of Vox Machina (from Campaign 1 of Critical Role or Amazon's The Legend of Vox Machina) will see Vex, Keyleth, Pike and more diverge from one fated path and begin walking one that, to put it simply, is a fair bit more depraved.

As things stand today I am planning on on several smaller arcs of around four chapters that will, one day, hopefully become part of a campaign-long arc filled with all of the twists, turns, and monsters you'd expect from something D&D-related. Each arc will also highlight a particular kink - with the first arc's focus being the ever reliable weight gain. There's nothing concrete just yet, but I expect inflation, farts, and plenty more besides will worm their way into the story in some way or another.

I have wanted to work on something longer term for a while now. Instant gratification is all well and good, but I wanted to experiment with things like what happens after a girl gets incredibly fat? What is it like to live with? To fight with? It is my hope that the answers to those questions excite you as much as they did me.

The first chapter, "Arrival at Westruun", will be released sometime tomorrow. After that I plan on releasing one chapter a month, and at a pace where I can read any potential responses and react to feedback.

As a final word, none of this would be possible without the generous support of Kutr236 (https://www.deviantart.com/kutr236). They have commissioned the story up to chapter four thus far and I am incredibly grateful to them. Please check out their work if you haven't already! - Vharala

Hello all,

As some of you may know, earlier this month I launched my Patreon and with it, a newly consistent release schedule for my stories. Unfortunately, it's clear that this isn't going to work out. The uptake has been far short of my expectations, and though it may grow in time, the sheer loss in income is simple something that I can't afford.

Rather than giving up on Patreon entirely, I'll be restructuring it sometime next month to provide commissions as part of the tiers. Since doing both is more than I can handle, I'll be retiring the early and exlusive access tiers as well. All exisiting benefits will still be honored. Anyone already on those tiers will get what they paid for, and my one exclusive story this month (Bayonetta) will remain such. The early access stories will be posted here after their 2 month Patreon window as planned.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Where can I find your Patreon?

What are your tiers?

I have two available tiers.

Basic Supporter is just that. It offers no rewards, but I am very grateful to all who support me.

3K Commission is a slot-limited commission tier. Supporters at this tier will be provided one 3000 word story per month.

Are there any limitations on what I can commission?

Yes. My normal commission rules apply (18+ characters, no non-con, no gratuitous violence etc).

I've commission you through Patreon. How will I recieve my story?

I will share a private link with you of the story hosted in cloud storage.

Will you post my story publicly?

Unless agreed otherwise, yes. The story will be posted to DeviantArt.

How can I contact you?

Here on DeviantArt is best. I rarely check my Discord. Please send a note.

Do you like fat girls?

Yes. Very much so.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the interest, everyone. Commissions are now closed. Opening up a few slots for a series of special commissions. These stories will be limited to two pages (approx 900 words) and will cost just $10. All proceeds will be going directly to charity. If you've seen my special commissions from previous years, then it works in exactly the same way.

STORY RULES/INFO:

- $10 per story

- A story is two pages (approx 900 words)

- All persons/characters must be 18+

- No overly graphic gore

- No people that you personally know, even with consent

- Payment link will be provided in notes

- Unlike my usual commissions, the private fee is waived here. If you want a private story, you need only specify. That means that stories with celebrities, furries, and all the things I wouldn't usually post are now on the table.

- For those wondering why I don't specify the charity, the reason is simple. Writing fetish stories is an unconventional means of raising money, so I'd rather spare the association.

Things I can write include: Weight Gain, Expansion, Farting and Inflation.

If there's something else you'd like me to try (and abides by the rules above), then feel free to message me and ask.

Please message me either here on DeviantArt or on discord (Vharala#5778) if you are interested.

Thanks
