I’d go ahead and start with my metawriting entries.

Except for the porn part some of your stories read almost as some kind of body horror, have you ever thought about writing something longer, maybe a horror themed novel where instead of getting eaten by monsters characters get turned into bears instead?
what is the source of your photos? I find them very interesting. Do you take photo submissions for your vignettes?
Tumblr, mostly. Sometimes from my own porn collection. Yes, I do take submissions, right here.
When did decide to become a writer? Were you always doing it as a kid?
Um…that’s a bit hard to answer. No, I wasn’t always doing it as a kid, but I was always reading.
I wrote my first stories in high school. Funny enough, the second story I wrote was, well, basically a story Wes would write now, except it was hetero (I was still figuring that out) but it had transformation, mind control, genies, age progression, weight gain, rape…and I actually turned it in for a class, believe it or not. I don’t remember what grade it got.
I went to college determined to major in creative writing, but soon discovered that, well, I hated writing “literature”. It was boring, and not the kind of stories I wanted to tell. I didn’t write anything for a while then, but I was still reading, just…different stuff.
I’d discovered the NCMC, TSA, CYOC and MC Stories, and was slowly plowing my way through the archives there. When I ran out of stuff I wanted to read…I decided to try my hand at one. The result was “Losing Control,” which I wrote in my dorm room, Freshman year. It was well received, and the rest is history, I suppose.
Those stories all look great, thank you! Do people still develop them?
Yeah, you can find daily updates here. No guarantee any of those will be expanded, they all seem to be on the dead side/slow to update.
Thanks a lot! Would you care to recommend some cyoc writers who touch upon topics similar to yours, mainly bear transformations? I clicked around the site but most of the content I encountered was rather questionable.
well, it can be hard to find stuff, I suppose. Let me see…here are a few starting points.
http://www.cyoc.net/stories/stories_cache/chapter_43169.html and then click to obvious link at the bottom. This one has a lot of stuff, including a few chapters written by me.
Some more bear stuff: http://www.cyoc.net/stories/stories_cache/chapter_9255.html
If you like slob stuff, here’s a nice series: http://www.cyoc.net/stories/stories_cache/chapter_44798.html
and if you like rednecks, this whole story is fucking fantastic. http://www.cyoc.net/stories/stories_previous_cache/previous_chapter_to_78764.html Just read it from top to bottom. Manlover, I have no idea who you are, but fucking-a, this story rules, please finish it.
Do you look at storywriting as more of a side job rather than a hobby or a passion?
Well, it’s going to be more than a side job soon enough. I’m quitting my day job at the end of the week, actually. My husband and I run a catering company together, but neither of us has enough time to manage it effectively, so I’m going to be running that full(ish)time. It will actually give me more time for writing too, and I have a feeling commissions are going to be a good chunk of my income for the next few months. If you’d like a story of your own, now would be the time to contact me.
How do you pick which stories to continue?
You mean which photo captions? Popularity. I gauge that by how many likes and reblogs a photo caption gets. You can also send me notes or emails, if you don’t have an account.
Some time ago you posted a text based interactive game and mentioned that it’s similar to the ones posted on cyoc, I made an account there to look for them but no luck as of yet, any suggestions where I could find them? Any plans to make more?
Here they all are: http://www.cyoc.net/istoryindex.php
Go to the “first chapters”, and then start clicking around–they’re massive. I’d recommend ‘Ty’s Power’ and ‘Chronivac 4.0’ as some good ones to start with.
Are you planning on continuing the city of bears series?
Definitely–the problem is finding time to keep working on it. I know where the next few arcs are going to go, I think, but no spoilers as of yet. Hopefully I can get started on it before November, but I’d expect another cascade of posts for NaNoWriMo again at the very least.
