Welcome to the Library

Hello friends,

Welcome to the Unicorn’s Bookshelf. My name is Draikar, for those who don’t know me, and I am an aspiring sci-fi/fantasy writer. It is my hope to one day publish my book series so that I can share my stories with the world. 

Sometimes, though, it’s best to start small. I’ve spent years now wanting to write my book and spending little time actually working on it. Recently, that changed. I am taking some time to refocus on an develop my writing. This blog will be one of several places where I post updates and information concerning my work, answer questions if there are any, and share some of my stories from time to time.

At the moment, I am working primarily out of my FurAffinity account where I recently started taking story commissions. I can also be found on DeviantArt. I have art and stories posted on both sites with more coming as I slowly focus in on my work as a writer. Admittedly, this blog here will mostly be for updates and information, but I’ll try to share some snippets of stories from time to time, as well. 

If you are interested in a writing commission, please feel free to contact me. All the important information can be found in my Terms of Service, so please check it out.

I look forward to working with you and sharing my work.

New Discord Server (and other news)

Check it out! The Unicorn's Bookshelf is now on Discord! My friends and I have been working hard over the last week or so to prep this wonderful new place where writers and artists can gather. This will be a central place where I can manage my online writing career, take commissions, and maybe even support other writers in their endeavors. Interested in my work? You can ask me about it here via Notes OR you can join my Discord and talk to me directly about anything from characters to stories, to the worlds in which they exist. Want a commission? Sure, you can note me here, but send me a message through my new Discord Server and I'll likely get back to you much faster. Throw your concept in one of the server channels. I would love to discuss your story, and if it feels like something I can do for you, we can make arrangements for the official commission. Have a story of your own you're working on? Need a little help. I will be happy to discuss various ideas you have and make suggestions on how to utilize them. As The Unicorn's Bookshelf grows, I'm sure others will be around who feel the same way. We can build a writer's community and work together for the success of all! In other news: I have found it somewhat inconvenient to keep updated my Commissions Journal on FA AND the journal on my DA account. To resolve this, I have created a Google Drive document from which I will manage the Queue. Check out my Commissions Queue to see my open commission slots and get updates on the progress of your commission. As always, if you have any questions, please let me know. Communication is very important to me and I want to make sure your experience as a commissioner is as pleasant as I can make it. Also, I've got a few commissions out now. I've been trying to post them in a manner that is both accessible and easy to use on my part. Let me know what you think. Do you like my stories? Is my posting system to your liking? Let me know in the comments below. Darkness can only exist in the Absence of Light

Desert Jewel

Linguistics student Xavier has just ended an archeological expedition working for the impossible, a secret city in the deserts of Egypt that houses the last remnants of the Ancient Egyptian Empire. More important than any ancient treasure or discovered paradise, though, is the beautiful jewel he met along the way, Safiya. A story commission for my friend AlextheReaper, who wanted a little love story between his character, Xavier, and the lovely lady Xavier met during an adventure. We ran a fairly long little RP story a few years ago starring Xavier and my wonderful Jazmir Kan-Ra. In fact, that's the story where I finally really developed Jazmir as a character. While the story, itself, has not yet been edited for release, it gave us both a chance to have a lot of fun, develop some great characters, and make something special. Along the way I created the character of Safiya to be a love interest for Xavier. It is far past time that she got some proper love from her writer, too. I am hereby gifting the character of Safiya to Alex on account of I think he will give her a better home than I have. Plus she needs to be with Xavier.

Jabari’s Fur

Determined to use his unique strengths to help his pack hunt, Jabari takes on prey usually hunted by larger predators. Even as he tests himself against his quarry, he finds himself selecting a strange souvenir. A story commission for Jeff of his wonderful character, Jabari, who was orphaned and raised by jackals. It is Jabari's destiny to one day discover his parent's kingdom and reclaim what is rightfully his, but today he merely decides to rediscover the loincloth. This was a fun commission to write and I admit I hope I get to work with this character again in the future.

Boundaries Broken

A weekend trip leads to new experiences and personal boundaries shift as Kyle travels to the naturist town of Pacific Wonders with his close friend, Myron. A fun story commissioned by my good friend CannotWait. He requested a tale exploring the lifestyle and concepts of naturism in an ideal society. I tried to fit in as much as I could in a short story, and while I'm sure I missed some things, I hope I managed to give a good feel for the idea. Naturism is actually an important topic for me and really there's not enough good media for it out in the world. Please give this story a read and let me know what you think. Side note: I'm posting it a little differently this time. Let me know what you prefer. Link to story (just in case): Boundaries Broken Characters and world belong to me.

Blossoms and Mocha

It's a normal day for Haru as he makes it to work at the local naturist cafe. Normal, that is, until the customer he likes is there waiting. My first completed, paid commission! This was an adorable romance story request by my good friend DBraveFurry113. He wanted a cute, short little story of a couple of his lovely characters getting together and I did my very best to deliver. I didn't have space for a complete romance, but a pivotal scene or two? That I can do quickly enough. My thanks to him for trusting me with his lovely characters. This was a lot of fun to work on.

Wild Hunt: Demo Commission

Toren of the lycerians finds himself trapped on an unknown forest world. The only other advanced life form on the planet is his enemy from the other side of the war. Now he must survive both the environment, and the thing that hunts him. As part of my jump into taking writing commissions, I decided to do a demo story for a good friend of mine. Mattspew provided me with a very nice prompt concerning two entities put together in a place where they would get to know each other and overcome challenges (this is a bit of a simplification of the prompt). What resulted was a story that deviated from that prompt a bit, but in ways that have turned it into something fun and special. To me, anyway. I may very well write a longer version of this between other projects. Link to story: Wild Hunt If you are interested in buying a commission, the price is $0.02 per word (which equals $20 for 1000 words). Please read my TOS and then send me a note. this story belongs to me. Commissioned by Mattspew who has permission to post the story. Marked Mature for nudity Please do not use without permission.

Incoming Stories

Hello friends,

This wouldn’t be much of a story sharing place if I didn’t share some stories. I have received several commissions in the last couple weeks and I would like to share them with you. They are already posted on my DeviantArt and FurAffinity pages. Starting tomorrow I will post them here, too. To catch you all up, I’ll do one a day over the next several days. That way I don’t overwhelm anything.

Want to see them faster? Check out my FurAffinity account or my DeviantArt where they’re already posted along with older works and art I’ve commissioned
