"Feeling way too damn good"

Man, it feels really good when artists you recognize and watch for their amazing work actually favorite some of your work. Honestly, to know that they, really talented and hard working artists, find my work good enough to favorite says a lot. As an author, I am one of my harshest critics, and I’ve found it really hard to get other good critiques (outside of one of my aunts, whom is actually a published author who teaches at the University of Michigan, andis really good at seeing the story and not just the grammar). The people I watch and whose works I enjoy are enjoying my work and some are even watching me! That means that they, at least, think my work is well written and enjoyable (even if they don’t always comment as such ). I may sound a little silly right now, but I’m an introvert by nature (among other more serious past reasons), so this kind of recognition, even behind an alias and a fursona, does a lot for my confidence in my writing and just my mood in general.
Granted, my fetish work is my most popular, and I never even knew I was into that kind of stuff before I got here (well, okay, I was already into vore before I realized it had a name and classification), but that’s okay. That’s partly because the fetish stuff (which has its own drop down filters) will stay on a first page far longer, leading more people to notice it instead of something eight pages later. Most of my other works I had put under “general” or “all”, leading them to get buried before a lot of people saw them. I know better know, those categories are there for a reason, and my non-fetish material is likely to fall under “Fantasy” now.
Anyway, my general lethargic, introverted self just wanted to express itself, as if I had a tail, it’d be wagging pretty good right now.
And now, because it’s been bouncing around in my head for a while and really wants to be expressed, I have a little pun:
A furry is riding a rather annoyed looking tuar. The tuar looks back and says, “Would you mind getting off?”
The furry replies, “Not at all.” *Fap, fap, fap*
“Stop that!”
