I'm Bartan, though I used to go by the Username of Dexdor on older sites. I'm just an old furball with Chronic Fatigue that fell through the cracks of society. I spend my days watching the world, rather than be part of it. I don't write as much anymore because of... Well, "Life", and I can't handle that much in terms of social contacts.

-While we're on the subject; I don't RP, so please don't ask. I just do not have the energy for it, and despite my literary background I am not good at it.

That being said, I'm more of a writer than an artist by traditional means. Mostly due to a bad reaction to a needle in my primary arm, I can't draw very well anymore. But I've felt like my words can sketch a decent picture, better than what my physical being could pull off. Regardless, feel free to check them out. I usually write fantasy stories about dragons and other random creatures that are often not heard of. Though they are usually clean, I will do more mature things from time to time, and give a heads up in the artist's comments if there is one.

I'll also put a bit of a warning here as well. Alot of my inspirations come from music, and alot of that music tends to be on the more Harsh vocal side. Again, I'll place a warning if one is used if you do not enjoy that type of music. Everybody has their tastes, but there's a reason why I suggest a music title or track within these stories. Usually not from lyrics, but the tone of the music itself. My suggestion is to look for it on youtube, let it play in the background, and just try to let it immerse you into the story. Some people tend to have trouble with that, but if you can get it... If you can see it the way I see it, you'll find yourself enjoying the story alot more.

I've made quite the library over the decade length that I've been writing, so much so that I decided to make things called Novel Cards. These are basically quick flyers to give you a rundown of every novel series I have, the contents within, any alternate forms of them (like SFW or NSFW), and links to where they're posted for the best reading experience. If one sounds interesting, give it a read. Keep in mind that some might have fetish content into it, and I'll often warn you within the Artist's Comments if you encounter something odd.

You can find those Novel Cards here: https://www.weasyl.com/submissions/bartan?folderid=115220

Speaking of those stories, my main library is on FA. It's my most checked site, and... "Arguably" my most... Popular? With no real luck on SoFurry when it came to stories, I'm giving Weasyl a try. If someone here enjoys my work, then it'll be worth it.

One more thing. If you are ever confused about any of the terms I do use, I've recently made a Vocabulary document that hopefully makes things clearer. If it's not on there, feel free to let me know and I'll add it to the list: https://www.weasyl.com/%7Ebartan/submissions/1850341/vocabulary

...A little too long since the last one of these >>;; Sorry about that

Life's been busy but doing okay. Energy levels are... Fine, but just being divided a lot more, so writing has taken a bit more of a back seat lately. I'm still doing it nearly every day, but often enough I'm getting pulled away or pushed to do something else during my writing time. Now that we're nearly out of the "birthday zone" of the year (where I tend to write several gives for friends) I can finally start focusing more on my own projects. Including:

-The Thread Of Dawn Act 4
Still in the works but at least half done. I even got in contact with Tissthalliss again and he said he would help by writing a scene for me once again for this series. I still don't know if it is going to be in act 4, I've got a couple of ideas but it may feel a bit shoehorned in. Thoughts? Since the last act didn't have any spicy content, would you like one for act 4 or would you rather wait until 5?

-D.I.E
Still being planned, just got busy with everything else. But there seemed to be enough interest for this one and I still want to do it... And odds are that it will be spicy >>;;;

-Afterlife Act 6
Not this year. I've got an idea for it next year, but it may be a bit short like last "halloween's" bit.

-Drunken Lullabies?
Nothing specifically planned at the moment. My energy is often so spent lately that I don't get a lot of time for writing silly stuff. 'Too many projects = not enough time for random jazz' type of thing. Not asking for ideas either

-New Story?
...I may have gotten interested in something from playing Stranger of Paradise [Final Fantasy Origins... The "CHAOS!" game], and it maaaaaay have resparked something I've been wanting to write about for a while... Again >>;;; Over 30 pages in atm, and I admit that this one kinda took a priority atm. Long but a little spicy, involving some size difference. This'll be one of those stories that you gotta let it 'cook' in order to get to the good stuff (and hopefully the wait will be worth it <<;;)

-Halloween Story?
A bit early for this and nothing specifically started, just thought of. However, it is a SFW idea and those seem to like NEVER do well here. Psychopath, Life Of My Own, anything Afterlife related, I'm definitely seeing a trend. So I may bail on this idea and just go with something more sexual/fetish based instead.

If you were interested what the idea was though, this is the song that inspired it:

And so far that's everything that I'm cooking. There's a few I'd personally like to get back to, including Resound. I also updated Anthem Of The Lonely recently after getting some good feedback, so that should also be better if you're looking for something more refined [though, that is SFW as well... Sorta. Mostly.]

Be patient while I chip away at things here, and take care of yourselves this summer <3
Your furball,
~Bartan
