2023's Year in Review
2 years ago
Oh no Here's my Year in Review for 2023!
Firstly, we will begin with a breakdown of how well things did between my two main galleries: FurAffinity & SoFurry. This is a comparison of how many favorites were attained on both websites.
For Stories:
Out of 25 story submissions for the year of 2023:
15 Stories (60%) were more successful on FurAffinity.
7 Stories (28%) were more successful on SoFurry.
3 Stories (12%) were tied on both websites.
For Artwork:
Out of 116 art submissions for the year of 2022:
116 Artworks (100%) were more successful on FurAffinity.
0 Artworks (0%) were more successful on SoFurry.
Same as last year, FurAffinity has performed better than SoFurry with my stories! And it’s not a surprise that it did better with artwork. The surprise is that despite SoFurry is primarily a website dedicated to literature, FurAffinity is giving me much more engagement. At this point, I do have more followers on FA than SF so that has to be why.
FurAffinity generated 6,295 Favorites on my Art submissions and 622 Favorites on my Story submissions. SoFurry only managed to pull in 1,367 Favorites on Art & 567 Favorites on Stories. This is nearly 4.6 times as many favorites for art on FurAffinity than SoFurry and 1.1 times as many on FA for than SF for stories. The gap between FA and SF for stories is much thinner, but the gap is still there and in FurAffinity’s favor.
Now, let’s look at the Top 5 Artworks and Stories for this year.
Here's the list of the top five Stories from 2023.
1) The Wall - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53087379/ With 105 Favs and 5,174 Views!
I’m not surprised that a hardcore cheating/cuckold story made it to #1 this year. My audience knows what it likes! I don’t remember the original inspiration that got me started on this story, but I do recall wanting to explore the kink from the vantage of the cuck pulling the ‘hiding in the closet’ cliché. I’m glad everyone enjoyed this story!
2) Money Problems #1 - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51194611/ With 89 Favs and 3,651 Views!
When I started this story it was for the sole purpose to turning a wife into a whore before her husband’s very eyes. Toying with some cliches, although a bit molded to me whims. Normally you’re your boss offers you a raise for sex it’s not because he’s asking to fuck your wife, so that was a twist from the norm. I’m not surprised it did well, and the same goes for its sequel!
3) Money Problems #2 - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52311009/ With 88 Favs and 3,410 Views!
So, both the first and second chapters made it to the top 5! That was nice to see as we finish out the year, and I’m glad people really enjoyed this story. I didn’t get to finish the full arc of the story like I had wanted, but I do plan on revisiting these characters next year!
4) Cam Cuck - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51372935/ With 87 Favs and 3,576 Views!
This is me revisiting Ditsy Dogs to see Mitsy getting her brains fucked out by her beloved boyfriend Martin. However, I also did this from the perspective of their newly recruited cameraman, David! I wrote him before in Cam Collie, but I wanted to explore his presence in the setting a little more.
5) The Hard Way - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/54266045/ With 79 Favs and 2,872 Views!
People always enjoyed the Professor Weber stories, so I chose to write a third one! This time the Professor might find that he crossed the wrong student though…
I hope you give them all a read if you haven't already.
And here is a list of the top five Artworks I posted for 2023.
1) Sauna Smut - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52611549/ With 296 Favs and 3,609 Views
I’ve run my mouth for a long time about how people should draw more Colleen from Road Rovers, because she’s a classic. I finally started getting art of her myself and this is the top commission of the year! Here we have my OC Kevin bumping into her in a sauna before screwing her brains out in a slideshow style animation!
2) Golden Mitsy - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52158880/ With 217 Favs and 1,592 Views
When golden week happened this year I decided to join in and got a nice commission of Mitsy rocking that look. I’m happy everyone enjoyed it!
3) On McCloud Nine - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52884361/ With 191 Favs and 1,471 Views
This was another commission for my AU of Star Fox of Krystal and Fox doing what they do best when they’re not out on a mission. I’m happy people are enjoying these!
4) Table Top ERPG - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53702299/ With 169 Favs and 1,255 Views
Same as the previous, we’ve got more Krystal and Fox action! It’s been nice seeing people enjoy these though I wish people would read their stories more. They’re good, I promise!
5) Vixen in Summer - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53525741/ With 141 Favs and 827 Views
I got a very lovely commission of Tabby from Matola that stole my heart. Probably my favorite image of her to date, she turned out so good in this and so it’s no surprise that other people enjoyed it as much as I did.
Give them all a look! Their respective artists work hard to bring them to life!
I’m happy to say that 2023 went much better than 2022! My stories especially did a lot better, which was a nice change. Last year people didn’t give a flying fuck about the Star Fox Ascension, which was a bummer. This year I just focused on pure smut since that’s all people care about, and naturally things went better. Would be nice if my SFW content was better received, but I don’t have any control over that. My preview chapter for my fantasy novel went mostly ignored as well, which is a shame. It is what it is.
Hope you're having a good one, WSAD.
