Hi. I'm Xial. I can't really draw for much. I do like to do color work whenever I have the muse for it. Some of it goes here. Some of it goes elsewhere.

Once upon a past, I wrote things to be read. [s]Perhaps in the future, once my soul recovers from the hell it has been through over the last half decade, I can consider writing again.[/s]

I've started writing again, based on a very interesting (to me) universe that appeared in my head a couple of years ago. I like to refer to it as the Chronoverse. You may have mixtures of your high fantasy, deep cyberpunk, and near-analogous to what we're used to in the 'verse I'm working on. I've written part of a base guide to it, and just need to flesh it out some before I make it visible to the world. I may post the work done on SoFurry or Inkbunny. Weasyl and FurAffinity will be considered once the reading interfaces (as well as their posting interfaces) stop being hostile to users. ePub readiness is a priority in my books, and I will try to make my works available as ePubs as I complete segments that can stand alone.

Thank you to electronic book devices for making reading cool again.

On dorkery:

I am the author of a conversion stylesheet for FurAffinity called Vaunt Dark. If you use it, thank you. If you feel so inclined, feel free to donate a dollar or two at me for my time. Funds go toward offsetting my soda making costs, of which the syrups are generally the most expensive frequently purchased component.

I have been asked a few times, so I would like to clarify:

[b]You have my fully expressed permission to draw and/or color any of my characters (see below) under the following conditions:[/b]

There are a few things I don't really want my characters associated with, but these are rather edge-case items, such as diaper play, gore, blood play, and other items.

If you aren't certain whether I'd be upset about it, then by all means, please ask.

If you intend to surprise me with something, feel free to look at one of my F-List profiles that'll be linked later.

If your intent is to make money off said drawings, my cost is straight-forward: I just want a copy (preferably of the highest resolution image available) without a large watermark for my personal collection. If you are doing analog work and just don't have a scanner, ask me for a physical address to send a print or an original of what you're selling -- I don't mind eating the postage and reasonable printing costs. Again: Reasonable.

I reserve the right to post versions of a picture with my character(s) in it that I deem appropriate for public view, should I find that I am the only source of something involving my characters after two months, unless the art in question is being sold. If the art is being sold, then I will wait at least six months.

I use CC-BY-NC-SA-30 licensing for my characters.

I enforce my licensing when I spot intentional breaches. It's not that you're using the picture, people -- I'm flattered that you think my characters are sexy. It's that you don't bloody attribute the image to its source -- either back to me, or to the artist in question. I will disregard attribution if you attempt to pretend that you are ME.

In short:

* Using the art as a reference, with attribution to myself or the artist is OK! I know some of you are new and like the way one of my characters look.

* Using the art and 'roleplaying' as my characters, with or without attribution is NOT OK.

[b]PLEASE! DO NOT PM ME asking me to ROLEPLAY.[/b]

I am generally NOT interested at this point. I have trouble roleplaying in solo mode. Imagine the difficulty in multiplayer mode.
