So apparently my DeviantArt account has to be abandoned now. Stories have been randomly vanishing on odd occasions from my gallery there, finally found out why. Their rules are just... terribly worded. And the rules that were seemingly just for illustrations are actually for stories as well. So, no erect penis, no genital fluids so no aroused females, no sex. See the problem? Their adult content doesn't exist outside of gore, basically. So I don't know why they have an entire page or contradictory rules when their policy can be summed up with 'it doesn't exist'. Like 'sexualized content that is not pornographic'. So, neither subject can be aroused in any way, they shouldn't be nude, they cannot be having sex... so then what is the sexualized content? There is no sexualized content outside of that! Nudity by itself isn't sexual nor even adult content- children can see animals, animal don't wear clothing. Michelangelo's David and the Birth Of Venus are in museums open to any age. Heck they are in Animal Crossing games, and those don't have an adult rating. So then what is left? Fetish content like vanilla inflation? Guess what? That isn't adult or sexual, either. You find that in children's cartoons, because its just a thing if you do not have the fetish. That is what makes it a fetish in the first place- it is only sexual to those who possess that specific fetish, its nothing to anyone else.

So basically DA will allow adult content as long as it isn't adult content. Yea, thanks for clearing that up, moron. This on top of the fact the site is already absolutely god-awful to begin with. Takes too much RAM than a regular site should, navigation is terrible and several menus are nested into themselves making it almost impossible to figure out. Like chat and notes- chat is IN notes but I can only find it on the mobile site, to this day I cannot figure out where the fuck the chat menu is supposed to be on the desktop version of the site, and because its inside of notes- getting a new chat message looks like you have a new note, but then open notes and there is nothing new, but the notification is still there. You cannot look at any of your own stats unless you pay a subscription service, the gallery menu is so dumb I barely even used it. And on top of that- an item that has always been a controversy over there; their terms of service gives them partial ownership of anything you post to the site while it is hosted there. They can slap your drawing on a T shirt and sell it for their own profit, or use your work in an advertisement without your further consent.

So, every story I ever wrote on there, every story I ever favorited, every story I ever read on there violates their rules. The only content I have ever interacted with on their site is against the site's rules. So I have over 300 violations of their rules in my gallery alone. They only exist because no one pointed them out yet- as soon as anyone points them out or a mod happens on it, it gets deleted. Not much point in posting to a site that might spontaneously combust your content. I didn't have a subscription there so I can't tell how popular I actually was, but I would say around 75% as popular there as on FA if not more, and now that is just dead to me. So now just FA and SoFurry... and my audience on SoFurry is bleak... as far as I can tell its just not a very populated site in the first place. But I mean... where else ya gunna post TF fetish stories?


In brighter news, work on the Last Leg novella is going smooth- I'd say I am about half done now, though its looking like the actual sex scenes in the novella will be cut down to only 1 :X. I have like 80% of the next regular erotica done- Get Owned, but I am working on Last Leg today so I dunno if i can finish today... but hopefully very soon. The multi tf and merge story Be Careful is lined up to be the next one after this.
