2025... so what's coming from me next?
8 months ago
Hey guys! Ok, so I said I'd update something at the start of the month, and it turned out that didn't happen, but... heh heh... well... I'm doing it now, so better late than never, right?
Anyhowzie... after Stocking Stuffer 2024, you'd think I'd be burnt out from writing entirely! But you'd actually be wrong! I've been working on the final of the 10 commissions I took back in December 2023 (hahahahahaa oh god I took so long I'm sorry guys) and am now halfway done with it! I've also got more of Sisselixer to clean up, and one or two other commissions that need cleaning up and revision before I put them online (and thus weren't ready in time for Stocking Stuffer 2024). I also owe a story trade for a friend which is LONG overdue, once these commissions are done. I even have some commissioned art I still need to upload! So expect a drip of content in the coming few weeks with some nice new stuff on the way!
But those are all old projects. They might be new to the people seeing them when I upload them, but they're things I've been working on for a while. What happens when I run out of all that? Well, in a few ways, creatively, 2025 feels like a chance for me to renew myself a bit. I haven't really done a lot of personal "Just for me" writing in a while. While I wouldn't call 2024's projects a "slump" for myself, all of them were for other people. I'm getting to a point where I will have no commissions on my plate soon, if I keep working.
So! What's next for Terinas Tiger? Let me pitch out some opportunities I've got in mind for future projects:
1) I'd like to set up a SubscribeStar. I don't know how much business I'll do here, much less have a viable business model, but I would like to find ways to monetize my creative writing a bit more if I can. As I get older I have more demands placed on my finances, and any little amount of money I make from my creative writing would help. And getting money per month to write would absolutely be an incentive to indulge this hobby more frequently.
If anyone has any advice on how to run a successful SubscribeStar/Patreon/Similar things of that sort and are willing to offer advice, I'd love it if you reached out. I'd love to pick the mind of someone with experience in such things so I could learn and develop.
2) I would love to write for a Webcomic. I've had ideas for a few creative projects for a while now that I feel would work better with visual elements; I've always loved webcomics and have a variety of different ideas for things, both kinky things (Things like Blazingcheek's choose-your-own-adventure comic projects come to mind, I have tons of ideas) and things that aren't kink-related but I think would be fun and entertaining anyway (I have a story in mind about werewolf children that would be pretty fun to write about, among other ideas). It'd be fun to find a collaborator with their own ideas and collaborate with them. Work on a project of theirs, or them work on a project of mine, or both of us put our minds together and come up with something totally new and awesome.
If there's any artist out there interested in a collaboration like this, feel free to reach out to me. I'll admit I've never done anything like this before, but I'm interested!
3) Learning to program enough to make a kinky game like Corruption of Champions. This is another pipe-dream project of mine, but I use to love games like Corruption of Champions and Sunnypaws and their ilk, and would love to learn enough about programming and software development/website app development to make something in those veins. Again, I've got a ton of ideas, but ideas don't cut it when you don't have the skills to make those ideas a reality. Still... I have a python class I've been meaning to pick back up and learn... So maybe this could go somewhere!
4) Werewolves. If you have no idea why I'm making this a separate option by itself, it's forgivable. But I've kinda had a lot of characters for a Queer Romance/Dating Sim/Action-Adventure RP thingy bouncing around in my head for a while now. Something a bit like Mad Mansion of Dr. Moreau, but with a deeper story and more character growth and development. I've had a few people playing in it, and had a lot of fun with it. I'd love to expand on the concept, maybe get reference art done of several characters done and/or write some stuff in the universe I've got in mind, or even find other partners to explore the setting.
Also I've been doing another creative project on my Mastodon online presences: Parenting advice for raising baby werewolves! You can see some of that stuff here:

5) Further writing projects. To clarify? Everything I've listed above are things I have in mind but none of them are concrete directions I'm committing to yet. If you're worried I'm going to start some new huge project and lose interest in the stuff that you liked from me before, writing, don't worry about THAT. As a final teaser, here's a few story projects that I've got in mind I want to work on in 2025 once my current projects are done:
- The Pampered Pride (Tentative title) ABDL story inspired by Gordo's "Hypnotizing His Highness" kinky stories and artwork; Premise is a scheming royal vizier summons a demon to help him take a kingdom's throne from a royal family of lions... and things get very out of hand from there. Watch a royal family descend into diapers, their populace learn to love "the emperor's new clothes" so to speak, and the destiny of a kingdom change forever.
- My Boyfriend is a Hive Mind?!? (Tentative title) Weird drone assimilation/romance story centered around a man with multiple bodies that used to be separate people, and the odd romance between them and a single person.
- Vixen's Run (Tentative title) Flagship story meant to establish a kinky story setting I've had in mind for a while now. I've had a few stories written that flirt with this setting before (And it's sister city of Whitetail Bluffs) but the basic idea is a Twin Peaks/Gravity Falls/X-Files sort of story universe focused aroun the paranormal, but bent to a kinky extreme rather than horror or comedy.
- Sisselixer 3: Swamp Water (Tentative Title) Girly-themed Straight-to-gay story meant as the capstone/"ending" of the original Sisselixer Series. Things come full circle when the creator of Sisselixer is brought to heel and forced to make beverages for entities with questionable motives. Who, uh, certainly think they're in control of the situation... Explores Sisselixer and various other transformative beverages people have been requesting I include for years. Likely to involve a lot of cameos for people willing to help co-fund this project.
- The Misadventures of Miyu (Tentative Title) Short stories I have in mind about my doggy girl fursona, Miyu, running a magic item shop in a fantasy world. It's just a pity so many of the magic items she sells tend to have kinky side-effects...
We'll see how many of these get written this year, but hope it shows I have no shortage of ideas I'd love to explore and develop!

I’d love to see a cap off to the Sisselixer series. And the “werewolves” project sounds interesting, I liked the setting and characters stuff you had going for Moreau.

For making a game and coding, my advice would be to first settle on what kinda game it is. If it's just a visual novel or dating sim, python and renpy will do fine. A full on RPG like COC tends to require A LOT more elbow grease. May PM with more info later.
