Honestly I don't have any real suggestions because my views are just very biased because of my orientation and I understand that the magazine geared towards everyone, not just my interests. With that said, it's kinda always a hit and miss with me since I have no idea what exactly is inside and if I'll like it or not. Again, this isn't your fault as that's just how this kind of media is and you're wanting to include everyone's interests inside. So I just wanted to let you know while I can't say I'll be buying the digests in the future, I just wanted to let you know that you actually do a good job with compiling and distributing the magazine regardless. I hope you continue putting these out and investing in other projects as well. :) I do enjoy some of your stuff and look forward to future releases of content which may be more geared towards my (picky) tastes. x3

It sounds like you might have run into the same problem I did.

It's a delicate balance with variety magazines, because part of the appeal (at least we believe, with enough feedback this stance can change) is the surprise. We're doing our job if we keep things as varied as possible while still allowing full artistic freedom from our artists. As long as we do that, we can guarantee there will at least be something in the magazine for everybody. But if you have specific interests, then there will always be a chance that there will only be one or two things that actually appeal to you.

Perhaps there is a better balance to be struck between 'surprise' and 'information,' but we felt posting the tagged Table of Contents on our website's product information offered a pretty good insight towards what was actually in the magazine. No it's not perfect, but it's the best we can do next to a full written description for every unique entry. Perhaps that is what we will have to do in the future. But we want you to answer a question as truthfully as possible in relation to that, to help us out: If we posted small paragraphs describing every entry (sometimes 10+), would you actually take the time to read them all before making a purchase decision?

In any event, it's our other publications that offer more consistent and focused content. As we expand our series and artpack offerings in the future we'll hopefully be offering some product lines that are better suited to specified interests.

There was a tagged table of contents available and I missed it? Well now I just feel dumb. Can disregard that entire thing below then. *sigh*

Too late!

Ayep.... if you click the little arrows underneath the product image it changes. Learned something. X) *double sigh*

I would read through small paragraphs, if they existed actually. :o For instance, what got me to buy Round Campus was the teaser pages that were released and the description page delivered in a similar fashion (though it didn't quite turn out how I expected but the new rating system thing should fix that.) So at least I'd appreciate the small descriptions as they'd help me make better decisions. And even if others don't read them and end up complaining, then that fault lies upon them instead! But I'm sure you'll be able to offer some stuff that I like. After all, you have in the best. ;3 I'm enjoying Tumble and Fall so far and waiting for Roco to work some more on Final Feast. I enjoyed the Pokenom issue and a few exerts from the past releases. I'd say you're doing a good job so far. ^^

But I do agree that small descriptions would be nice to read over before buying. If anything, it'd encourage those who who like those kinds of things more willing to buy into it while also taking out the disappointment of paying for something they end up not liking. I hope there are no hard feelings saying that...I don't want you to have thew wrong impression of how I feel. It's just business, right? ^^;

Not at all, in fact your input has been quite invaluable. We'll certainly look seriously into entry descriptions for our future 'zine releases.

Final Feast IS on its way very soon, and 'Round Campus 2 should show up sometime next month. Tumble and Fall is not our baby (we're more like its weird uncle), however we're thrilled to hear people are enjoying it and its creators should be very pleased and inspired by its success. Hopefully we'll be seeing more adventures from Dez and Co. in the future!

At this point, the number one thing I'd like to see in future magazines from you is just a basic percentage of the gender split. Out of the entire spicy version, if you're a gay male, you've got 16 pages for you (Unknown Wolf, Kanada, Karikkin) and the rest (Almost 2/3rds) is no good to you. This turned my purchase largely into a charitable contribution and not much else. I don't want to assume that there's nobody drawing M/M out there for our community anymore but maybe that's where we're at and your magazine is just reflecting it? You'd know better than I, but I can say with certainty that had I had basic knowledge of the general content of the magazines (Like even being able to see the table of contents and nothing else) I would -not- have made the purchase this time. I love the concept of your company and I do want to give you money. Please help me do that!

Thanks for leaving a feedback post.

This is somewhat in response to the post above as well, so please read that too if you have the time. The Table of Content was available in the product information, but if you didn't find it then we need to do a better job getting it out in the open.

From our perspective, although it may not be ideal, a 16% split towards gay (male) is a perfectly reasonable content variation. When you consider that gay (female), straight, alternative genders (mixed, on male, on female), and inhuman species are all interest segments we need to be aware of, a percentage split like that seems pretty appropriate. Additionally, we stress artistic freedom with these magazines. We try to choose a diverse range of artists with representative interests, however if they turn in a proposal that is off from our prediction for them, we will not change it. When we prioritize art over content like we do, these numbers will skew. Please do not take the percentage as a sign of any particular movement within the community or agendas on our behalf, that is simply a statistical trend that's emerging among the limited set of artists we've featured this time around. We do track what percentage of entries feature male/female/etc protagonists and antagonists, but we are willing to let that skew, sometimes significantly, to get the best vore content we can.

With that explained, the simplest response to this criticism we can give is this: The Digests are for fans of vore, all varieties of it. If you are going into the magazines with any other intention, then you may be disappointed. If you are looking for gay male content, for example, you're really wanting for us to release a variety gay mag in male and female versions, in which you may be pleased if the variety content includes one or more vore scenarios. That's not meant to sound condescending, since that idea could work as a product and we'd be open to pursuing it, but it does demonstrate the difference in customer expectations I believe we're running into here.

Our other publications, like series and artpacks, allow us to better pursue target interests. If the variety mags aren't doing it for you, I suggest keeping track of those instead. If you're a fan of UnknownWolf's work, for example, his ArtPack primarily focuses on Male Vore content.

Yeah, just found it, so it makes my reply pretty uh... meaningless.

I do want to reply to the thought of intention, however. I'm basically of the mind that the "Spicy" version of the digest reads out like an interesting night on the "Vore" section of FA, set to adult of course. I'm not looking for a gay magazine with vore, I'm looking for a vore magazine with gay. Maybe you are correct in that the scope of your magazine has gotten so large that this isn't really feasible for you and that this product isn't for me any more, but your original release and even your Pokenom version did a fine job of handling expectations. Everyone always wants a little more of what they like, and that's just natural.

Above and beyond that, I think the other points are covered. Now that I know where to look to see if it's safe to buy in *grumble* there won't be more disappointments in the future either way.

Glad we could help! Obviously we're aware that your segment is a large one in the community, so we'll continue to try our best to make sure it is served in the Digests. Hopefully our improved efforts towards content notifications will give you all the info you need for future magazines...

After reading the comments above and finding out there actually was a table of contents preview, I do feel rather stupid cause I completely missed that.

However, I will still give a bit of my own constructive feedback, but I want to let it be known now that some of it is gonna come across as bias, because of how my sexual orientation is.

I too veer towards the gay male preference when it comes to vore. Though I don't really mind when there are female preys. Its more just female preds that are just not my thing, which turned out to be the majority with this current magazine issue.

Now like I said, I completely didn't see that the table of contents was posted as a preview, but it sounds like I wasn't the only one who missed it, so maybe placing the ToC in a easier to find spot for the next issue(s) would be a good recommendation.

Because while I love supporting artists in this community, some of which are some of my favorite artists out there when it comes to vore, the content within just left me kinda half satisfied, and I did feel like my purchase was more of a donation.

Am I saying to completely cut out other types of vore completely? Heavens no. I understand that vore is just as diverse in interests as sexuality in general is, or any other type of fetish.

For those that enjoy F/F vore or F/M vore, this comic was perhaps a joy to read for them.

But had I been able to find that table of contents preview, I won't lie that it would've had an impact on my purchase decision.


I also wanted to give a bit of feedback on the 'Spicy' version as well. Because as a big fan of anal and cock vore, I look forward to reading the Spicy version to enjoy my taste for the more alternative forms of vore since you can't really hide adult content with the above vore (As well as Unbirth for those that enjoy that too :) )

So it was also a bit of a let down to find that there was only 1 comic that contained cock vore, and 1 that contained anal vore.

Look I love Oral vore too, but it felt like the ratio of oral compared to the other 3 main types of vore (AV, CV, UB) was a bit off for the spicy version, especially when you have the mild version too which is purely Oral Vore.

I understand some OV out there has sexual content, but since this is a comic catoring to the vore fetish, the vore sorta comes first in my mind, so the Spicy version was a tad bit of a let down in the variety of vore types.

Once again though, that probably falls to me being an idiot and not seeing the ToC. So maybe posting it on FA as well as on the main website could help your potential consumers see it easier?


As far as constructive positive feedback, I did like the new tag system, it was nice that you included other content warnings besides just the vore types, like whether or not it was hard vore/soft vore, if there was digestion or fatality. That was nice.

I had no issues with purchasing the comic as well, that went very smooth for me. It downloaded smoothly and opened just fine. So that was another positive experience for me.


TL;DR: I must've missed the ToC preview, so was a bit let down by the lack of m/m as well as anal and cock vore content in the spicy version. But the art itself was all supurb and all the artists did a great job regardless.

Whether or not I'll purchase another magazine, I probably will, I'll just be on a better look out for the table of contents preview next time :)

Thank you for the feedback! We'll skip over some of the repeated comments, which we're sure you won't mind, and get to the really important one:

While we are proud of our magazines (especially this new one), the abundant delays we faced with this release have revealed some problems in our production strategy that need to be addressed. One of the many circumstantial benefits this new strategy will have is an increased emphasis on variety for one or both books. Unfortunately we're still working out the theoretical bugs, so we can't reveal just what will be changing, but we can assure you that there will be more of a priority on content diversity for future releases.

Oh I don't mind at all. And like I said, overall the magazine as far as quality goes, was superb. I've enjoyed every magazine you guys have put out so far, with Round Campus 1 and Pokenom being my favorites so far.

I am glad to hear you guys have a strategy in the works for handling content diversity. Because that was really what I was hoping to be my main point in my feedback was it definitely felt like one type of content outweighed the others this time around (in this case F/F & F/M, and Oral Vore in the Spicy Version) which just didn't fit with my tastes this time around. But I will continue to support you guys none the less ^^.
