Happy Holidays, everyone! No matter what you celebrate. ...Even if me sharing this message on Christmas Eve makes it rather apparent which one I celebrate. As if the Rita image I drew for hyperscat day a few months ago didn't already make it evident enough.

Overall, this year has been a very interesting one for me. I decided to change my major and have had some extra time off as a result, mostly using a lot of it to relax while I still had the chance. This year, I uploaded a decent chunk of new stories in the meantime, and also commissioned some more art of my two main gals, Rita and Val. I even tinkered a bit with drawing once again, and drew a pic of my owl that I can actually look back on with some pride! My only regret is that I might have spent a bit too much time playing games this year. Very easy for me to get sucked into various new games and pop out a few weeks later, dazed and confused. On the bright side, I was pleasantly surprised with the new Sonic game!

Though I am going back to class in the Winter, I will be taking less classes this term and thus be able to do some more writing ideally. That will do a good job of relieving much of the stress that I feel that distracts me from other pursuits. I'm hoping that I'll be able to find a good work-life balance this way, and ideally get a good career out of my new major. To celebrate the holidays, I have two gifts for my followers this year!

First up, a new banner! My only real goal with this one was to make something that was marginally better and slightly more serious than the one I had before, and I think this suffices! It's a good compilation of most of my main characters. In order, you got Saybin, Cody, Valerie, Rita, Carol, White, and even Jack! Remember Jack? I still haven't done anything with him yet! Hooray! Maybe that will finally change next year, because he's got a bit of potential in him yet.

Second, spoilers for my plans for next year! First priority, of course, is finishing all of my story raffle winners' stories next year. I may have overestimated just how much effort a 10,000 word story per person would be, especially when I have other plans, so they might not all end up being that long. However, I believe that you can still tell a good story with a smaller word budget, at least! Just means less unnecessary fluff and filler, getting all of the good stuff that the winners asked for. First up is a story that is a sequel to the vore story I wrote with Ornstein ages ago, the second is a Pokemon vore story of sorts, and the remaining two are unknown as of now!

After the raffle stories are out of the way, I'm going to commission a couple more artists that I had been planning on getting art from. There are at least two or three that I have been chatting with lately! Additionally, I'm going to get a new Rita story out as a big thank you to Plasma for being so kind to me with his gift commission. Expect nasty stuff with her next year!

Lastly, I would just like to say, thank each and every one of you for supporting me and following me this year, and every year before that. I never thought my strange, niche content would manage to hit over 1000 watchers on this website, and I honestly can't thank you all enough. Even though it feels like I do with every update that I share, heh. You are all the best, and here's to a great 2023!
