I'm still here! There are times when I wish I wasn't, but I'm definitely not leaving in the forseeable future! Still job searching, alas, and it sure is fun being ghosted after interviews or getting emails with the word "Unfortunately" in there somewhere.
But that's boring irl stuff. Regarding writing, I've taken quite a bit of a hiatus, as you can see. I have a hard time of trying to put in a lot of effort into something that I don't know is exactly worth it. I was running a DnD game for the first time, for example, and while it was a lot of fun putting in the effort, there were times where things didn't pay off, or players went in a complete different direction and I had to stop early because I had 0 plans, or players didn't react to something the way I expected them to, i.e. laughing and cracking jokes at something I tried to make fairly serious, and, uh, it feels kinda bad.
So I haven't really been writing for the purpose of uploading anything. I've been writing a fair bit, but it's just private silly stuff. I dunno if it's really worth going through the effort of trying to edit and make it presentable to be uploaded on FA or not. It's kinda cringy fanfic writing, basically Denya x Bowser/Smaug/Kurama/whatever character I'm crushing on atm with lots of fatty lovey stuff going on >///>
It was fine that way, but uh, recently I saw a piece of fat fur media that just rubbed me the wrong way. Like, I got seriously agitated reading it. I won't go into detail without spoiling what it is, but it basically depicted being 600+ as like, trauma-enducing body horror. Really, really mesesd up. Problem was, it was also written really well, and there were comments from people like "wow I'm not a fat fetishist but this was really scary to see!"
It just... it got me really upset. Like, already we can't have chubby cartoon characters anywhere without people going "omg it's a fetish, is this from deviantart lul" and whatnot, so knowing that people are being exposed to fat stuffs and seeing it depicted as horrifying body horror is just... It sucks. I'm not trying to kinkshame here, I understand many people like the helpless aspect of being made fatter against your will. Maybe I'm letting all those negative comments about my own fat fursuits start wearing me down, but I really would like it if themes of body positivity and empowerment were pushed out more. Maybe even take it a step further: being suddenly skinny is seen as body horror, like you're suddenly out in public naked, and the extra weight makes you feel more secure and confident lol.
So, I'm gonna try getting back into writing long term stories again. I even started taking a few fiction writing classes online, just something to work on at my own time. They're quite interesting, and I feel like I'm already learning alot. I even have a few story ideas in mind already. Let me know if there's any in particular you'd wanna see!
Gear Shift: Many Koraidons grow up to become mechanists or engineers, and Axel is no exception. The feathered gearhead can disassemble any vehicle and put it back together before lunch, and is regarded as one of the best in town. It shouldn't be a surprise when, on one fateful day, a mysterious stranger comes into his autoshop with a strange piece of machinery, something not even Axel can make heads or tails of. All he can surmise is that it's from an era of time completely erased from history, but for good reason? Before he can learn more, however, strange individuals come to confiscate the tech, and the Koraidon realizes there's far more to this strange machinery than he realizes. Soon, he finds himself entangled in a race across the continent to solve the clues behind this unusual technology and the civilization behind it.
Of course, being a Koraidon, Axel has the advantage in prolonged endurance runs. However, being a Koraidon, it comes at the expense of an insatiable hunger, and if he wants to maintain a lead against his pursuers, he'll need to ensure his fuel tank is topped off at all times.
The Weight of Stone: Clate was as fierce a Badgermole as any, with Earthbending feats rivaling that of any master, thanks to his rather... unique stance in how best to shape the Earth beneath his heavy, quivering body. However, a traumatic experience caused him to hang up the mantle and swear off battles, promising to use his Earthbending to help others, rather than to harm.
Years pass, and Clate has shed much of the weight that made him so recognizable in the past. He hardly needs it now, as even thin, he can easily carve out homes and tunnels for those in need, now working as a wondering stoneworker. While he still reminisces about his glory days, he believes this is a better use of his talents... that is, until an old threat rises from his buried past, forcing him back into the frey. With seemingly no other option, Clate must face his past demons and regain his fighting spirit (and shape) if he has any hope to protect the new life he's built himself.
Alister: A demon's summoning goes wrong! Alister is stranded in the mortal realm half complete; head now a skull missing the flesh and fur once covering it, not to mention many of his powers now severely deminished. Trapped in a world far removed from his own infernal plane of existance, the skull-faced demon attempts to find someone who knows how to finish his summoning. In other words, he's looking for someone to complete him.
(Not really a fat story in concept, but you know how much demons love their hedonism. Besides, he's a shadowmancer, and with his powers inhibited as they are, maybe he'd be more effective with a larger shadow :3)

First of all, I don't see anything wrong about writing indulgent things just for yourself, even if you won't post them, that's a way to express your own feelings and thoughts, even if it just to gush about the furry crush you have at the moment, that sounds quite endearing actually!
Also I know that some forms of expression can get very intense, and I agree with you that some more body positivity would do more good!
The story ideas you've posted sound mighty interesting! Characters and situations that sound original and very thought provking as well!
Good luck with your classes and keep on being awesome as always!
Thank you very much for your encouragement though! This was a very sweet reply <3
And I love your first 2 story idea ❤️
I'd love to see those indulgent stories if you ever feel like sharing them! Those kinds of writings are a lot of fun, and it sounds like you have some lovely crushes. Your other ideas sound really good too; I remember loving the Badgermoles and seeing a story about someone getting back into shape by packing on weight sounds like a fun way to take it.
Also, Alister sounds like a fun demon and protagonist. I'd love to see his adventures and supporting cast.
I'll upload a drawing of Alister soon <3
