I've wanted to write a long-form story that spans several installments for a while now. I tried to do it with Karlott, but after a lot of issues with writing and my computer, I ended up scrapping that story, and recycling the characters into other works. Max Carrison, for example, is my personal OC, the guy in my profile pic, and I could never get rid of him just like that. So, I've repurposed his character, and made a few tweaks. Max is now Bisexual, like myself, and in my main canon, has been dating Mabel Cross, my other OC, since his college days.

I've also wanted to take Markus, from The Accursed Doughnuts, and rework him into more stories. He'll be showing up in individual stories by himself, as well as the big storyline I'm trying to write. Sadly, I don't think Erik is coming from Karlott to the new stories, at least not now, anyways. I liked his and Max's relationship, but it just wouldn't work out the same way in my new canon.

Anyways, I'm making this journal as a little teaser for this story, as its definitely going to be several chapters long, maybe even novel-length in the end. I haven't written much of it, but I know what I want to make it into. So, without further ado, I introduce you to my brand-new project: Joining The Party!

Synopsis: Max has agreed to being roommates with his childhood friend, Loki, but he wasn't told that there would also be four other furs staying with them. His new roommates seem very chill and laid back for now, but as he lives with them and gets to know them better, He'll soon learn that all of them have their own personal sins and vices that they like to partake in. Now, Max has to survive a whole four years with these people, and get his schoolwork done at the same time. Can he do it? Or will he call it quits and leave?

Characters:

-Max: A shy, introverted corgi, with a stockier, bottom heavy build. His most notable features are his permanently blue hair and his affinity for magic. Knowing this, several of his roommates beg him to give them magic solutions to their problems, and eager to not upset them, Max reluctantly agrees, to mixed results. He's studying Magic as a Major, and Acting as a Minor
-Loki: An outgoing, friendly fox and Max's oldest friend. Tall and athletic, Loki is always the one to kickstart social interactions between Max and potential friends. he admires Max's intelligence and skill in magic, maybe to a much higher extent than he should. He likes to spend time with people, and gets upset when he doesn't do so for a while. he studies Teaching as a Major and Childcare as a Minor
-Markus: A stocky, muscular, but kind and friendly grizzly. He's eager to be friends with Max, much to Max's chagrin. The fuzzball loves baking treats for his friends, and also loves the positive feedback from said friends. He is usually a sweetheart, and it takes a lot to work him up, but when he is worked up, the person responsible can expect a painful fate. He studies Culinary Arts as a Major and Restaurant Management as a Minor.
-Clyde: A chubby blue jay who is indifferent to most situations. You usually can't pull him away from his tasks, whether that's a video game session, a study session, or his actual job. While on the outside, he seems plain and uninteresting, he had a darker, kinkier side that he tends to not talk about, unless its on private messaging servers. He's studying Political Science as a Major and Computer Science as a Minor
-Cameron: An obese arctic fox, and active gainer. He's an intelligent fur, not only knowing a lot of information, but also being clever and quick-witted. He's very shy, however, and only does so when with close friends, or if the situation is a bit too tense for his liking. He's currently dating Dante, who actively encourages his studies and his weight gain. His Major and Minor are unclear, as his schedule consists of several different classes in several different areas, but he seems to be able to balance it all.
-Dante: A buff, muscular stallion and Cameron's feeder/encourager. For the most part, Dante fits the bill of the stereotypical Jock. However, after dating Cameron for a few years, he's been introduced to several new pastimes he quite enjoys, such as role-playing games and reading. He is unsure what his Major and Minor are, as he was more focused on playing Football for the college team, but he keeps up in the classes he's enrolled in, thanks to Cameron's help.

For now, this is going to be a linear story, told over the four years of Max's college career. It will tell the story of how Max managed to become less sky and introverted, and learned about his own sexuality and interests, through the help of his peers. I hope you guys end up enjoying this new story, when it comes out, and I hope that I can meet your expectations.
