Heart and Fur Spotlight - Plans for Modern

 Hello. C J here. I know I’ve flooded this site with posts over the last month or so. I’m going to take some time off from posting so people can read some of them. I’ve checked over the last few months of views and reliably I have noticed a few things. Food posts get views slowly but steadily, especially desserts. Novel samples and novel writing advice get views quickly in bursts. Video game updates with images get a ton of views. Cool final card game art in my hand drawn style gets views in large bursts.

But what gets the most? Anything with the name Heart and Fur in it. I’m going to take this to heart, pun not intended. I have time to pursue other more creative projects now. I have about 40 images left to draw for the core card game and I also have the video game reduced down to just making and sorting 3D assets forever. Both of these projects will continue indefinitely but neither can or should take up a full work day. So it’s time for more Heart and Fur.

I’m currently finally reading fantasy novels again as well. I’m going to go get myself a library card soon so I can get more of them. Time to resume work on the mountains of text that go into a Heart and Fur book. This also adjusts some of my plans a bit. Heart and Fur is supposed to have art from the entire fandom in it regardless of style or media. This means I can finally find a use for the budget I have for this year and the one for next year.

Outside art will no longer appear on cards. That job falls to me only to establish the setting’s look and feel. So, time to really get to work planning and writing Heart and Fur Modern. This should be fun.

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...

Four New Recipes for January

 Hello. C J here. I've got four new recipes for everyone here. We have everything from Chinese chicken to homemade hot apple cider. Enjoy. The Emperor’s Potatoes Here we have the first food item I ever finished designing for Food of the World – Carthia. I tried three combinations of traditional Asian ingredients and pasta under the assumption that I was doing Italian-Chinese food for the book. I could not for the life of me get any of them to be exciting. They were fine. I don’t eat fine. I got bored of the pasta thing and then thought to myself, ‘what happens if I swap the pasta for another starch? What about a potato?’ It worked. Really well. It worked so well I named them The Emperor’s Potatoes. They’re mashed potatoes and I left the skins on because I like vitamins and then that got me thinking about the traditional medicinal food of Ancient China, ginger. Could I put ginger in a potato dish and have it work? Yes. I can. That surprised me. Be warned, these are almost dangerousl...

Let's All Be Friends, No Really - Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’ve updated my plans to make a Discord server for everyone here and on Facebook. Making a Discord server to my knowledge costs money. However, making a Facebook group does not. I’ve made a few of those over the years as well for various reasons. I’m going to look into this soon and then add the links here and in the menus here as well. I’m certain a Facebook group is what we need. I’m planning a number of chats within the group. So far my current plans are as follows. Art and Artwork Health and Wellness Food and Baking Magic and Spirituality Writing and Software NSFW I’m planning a private group but if I can get it open entry without a form or sign up page or anything. As for rules I’m going to reuse some from past of these I’ve done. Everyone is Welcome Be Polite Advertising is Allowed Follow the Content Ratings The Facebook group will take some planning but not any actual effort to build. It’s that simple. Thanks. C J Mcpherson
