800 Submissions Recap
3 weeks ago
About 7 years ago, I posted a review just after I passed the threshold of 400 submissions in my FA gallery. As of this past weekend, I've now passed 800! So I thought it'd be fun to update that recap with a new list of top 5s, perhaps along with an update on where the old list now fits into the picture. Statistics, proceed!
Most Views!
This category is led by various comic pages, topped by what will prove to be a repeat winner in Hopelessly Snared. I suppose it'd be expected that people following a writer would like to see things with a bit of a narrative in the artwork itself! The previous winner has only dropped to third, while other
endium and 
tanraak comics complete the top 5.
Most Comments!
This category didn't see a load of turnover. For whatever reason (website diversification, people only chatting about art on discord instead of taking a second to leave a comment in someone's gallery where the person can actually see it, etc.) comments seem a little slower to come by than they were back in the day. Here's the list, with the previous position if applicable in parentheses:
5. Accident (new!) made everyone pity poor Hueroc, who did indeed look rather distraught about that broken window ;w;
4. Huffology 101 (new!) in which everyone wanted to show off huffs of their own.
3. Maximum Security Facility (4) is still getting new comments of appreciation occasionally, which tells me one of these days I really ought to see if I can come up with a continuation of the story that seems right...
2. Self-Bondage part 3 (2) kept its grip here, but it's now closer to the top than it was!
1. Ask Hueroc (1) still rules, of course, having actually picked up a few new entries since the previous recap despite now being over 13 years old.
Most Favorites!
We have seen a lot of turnover to more recent submissions here, with only 1 of the previous top 5 maintaining its presence. It's got some good character diversity too, leaving out only Crimson and poor Kerreth of my regulars, and has also stratified more distinctly than the previous list, as the top of the list is not at all competitive, though things get closer around #4-#5.
5. Locked and Trapped (new!) gives Ashar's representation in one of
banderi's deviously fun sketches.
4. Override (4), Haenine's introduction, holds down its place near the top, as the good android deserves!
3. Envy (new!) adds some anthro-lady flavor to this list with both Adhara and Marie~
2. Helpless to Hypnosis (new!) gives us further chance to appreciate Adhara's many pretty scales drawn by a talented artist.
1. Hopelessly Snared (new!), of course, locks down the top spot, fully 400 favorites clear of second place. It's easy to see why, with all that well-illustrated strict gear and the fun scene written beneath <3
Most Favorites - Stories Only Edition!
This one took a lot of scrolling through the statistics page to get filled out, as the artwork submissions have brutally outpaced the stories in the intervening years, even further down the list proportionally than they'd been before. The immediacy of art just can't keep pace with the patient slow appreciation of the written word, perhaps? Ah, well. I know it's not entirely accurate as a sentiment because most every art piece has at least a few words beneath it, but of course I can't know if the fave was for the illustration or the story, so this category is story-submissions only. This time, the parentheses will note the story's overall position in the favorites ranking:
5. Keys Kept Safe (380) This one was a rather devious predicament, so it's good to see many readers agreed :3
4. Toys (377) A bit surprised this one made it on, to be honest! But needy dragons totally engulfed in latex is an understandable topic to be so popular~
3. Caged Pony (345) Ah ha, here's some time in the spotlight for Kerreth! He was being such a good pony in this story too, he ought to be glad his exemplary behavior and acceptance of training is appreciated~
2. Eternal Dungeon (332, previously #1) This one's still popular, and understandably so, but no longer in the top spot! It's #2 by just three favorites, to...
1. System Restore (328, previously #4) It seems Haenine's corrected programming is quite popular indeed, lucky dragon that he is! I suppose I need to do something new with him sometime soon.
As before, I'd be curious to know how your own favorites line up with those of the community at large! Something you particularly appreciated, themes you enjoyed and would like me to revisit, etc? I'm curious to know!

Its always a delight, I mildly envy the way you work around words to make the stories so thrilling! Its always a pleasure to read them, even if by the end I don't know what to comment :3
I do like that Eternal Dungeon story, got my attention focused on you lol.
The exact number is something along the lines of 0.86 submissions per week from your registration date or approx. 0.9 submissions per week since your first ever submission.
To make it easier to comprehend, that's like one missed week per 2-3 months. Of course that doesn't mean you *actually* posted on a weekly basis for the entire time but it puts a spotlight on just how massive your gallery is at this point... mind-blowing!
As to answer your question: With this number of submissions I think it's super difficult to say whether the favorites "line up" or not, there's just so many great pieces I enjoy! But what I can say is that they're certainly worthy ones :>
I'm excited to keep following this journey of yours, looking forward to see which new and thrilling ideas you're going to come up with in the future still - and perhaps (again) contributing my own to add to your collection occasionally~
The one that i really enjoy the most though is The maximum security Facility. The sci-fi setting is one that i crave alot especially high tech bondage mixed with latex is.. H...huff!~
Honestly. Love all your stuff. Its always an excitement to see more fun.
It's great to see your Adhara-Marie piece 'Envy' make the top 5 lists, I just love the scenario you put them through and the story that accompanies the art too! One of my all-time favorites in terms of chair bondage done right, the restraints, harnesses, and gags all look phenomenal. Markan really knows how to treat his ladies right. :D
A continuation to that piece one of these days would be fantastic, whether it's Markan messing them some more in their current predicament or putting them through another enticing scenario in his dungeon. And honestly, I'd say the other pieces in your collection that involve Adhara and Marie's bondage escapades (the abduction piece of them getting nabbed by Sharpfury, Marie putting Adhara and Syrathia through chastity) are my personal favorites of the bunch. Any of the themes or scenarios in those are things that I'd love to see you revisit in the future.
Also, glad to see Huffology gets some rep. Direct inspiration for my Bratology course too, we’ll have a whole dragon university in no time!
I wish there was a simpler way to find certain things in ones gallery :p
