Once upon a time, my parents said to me "Hey, you like Digimon right? Well, we taped Digimon the Movie off the TV for you." I couldn't say back then I really did like Digimon! I remembered seeing a few episodes of what I now know to be Digimon 02 on TV. I had enjoyed it, it gave me a strange feeling I didn't understand, although I do now. I watched Digimon the movie many, many times, and for a long time that was the end of it, I didn't really get the movie since I didn't know much about Digimon so I never really got the movie, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It wasn't until later that I would sit on the sofa, wrapped up in a duvet staring at Digimon being completely mesmerized by the bright colours and cute monsters. I sure was young and impressionable back when I was 19.

Anyway, on December 30th 2014 I was looking through the list on my illegally accessed american netflix when I saw Digimon. Now, I was vaguely aware of Digimon from the movie, childhood memories, and seeing porn, obviously. I clicked on it, and watched the first few episodes. By pure coincidence it was the Japanese version, they had both. By the end of the first episode I was intrigued. The story had captured my interest immediately, and I was eager to know where it was going, so I kept watching. I was enjoying it, so I decided to show it to my boyfriend,  Conzo next time he visited. It was the infamous episode 8, the one in the mansion, and that got his interest too. By episode 13 and the end of the first arc, I was completely and totally in love. I knew Digimon was over 300 episodes, but I was determined to watch all of it.

After Conzo and I got synced up, we mostly watched Digimon together, at first we watched some together and some part but by Tamers we were watching everything together. It was great having something to watch together. It took us over 6 months of watching to get through everything, and we did, but that is not what I am talking about today. No. Now, I am completely furry trash, and it didn't take me long to start looking up porn of Digimon. I had already seen stuff of Guilmon and Renamon, but now I knew who they all were and I could enjoy it a whole lot more. After a while I found erotic Digimon fanfiction. I would like to give super special shoutouts to  Circeus,  Dreamous and  mrredrover. I found their works, and I was in love with them. I read every story both of them had ever written in a short space of time and I don't think I had ever fapped so much in my life. Once I had read them all I was not satisfied though, I wanted more, and since nobody else was doing it, I resolved I would provide it myself.

On the 23nd of March 2015, one year ago today at time of writing, I published my first ever Digimon fanfic, Let the Bed Bug Bite. I read the story Corroboration by Circeus and thought it deserved a followup, so I wrote an unofficial one myself. I really enjoyed writing it, and people who read it thought it was hot, so I decided to continue. I could write a lot back then, getting stories out frequently, maybe because it was fresh to me, maybe because I was exercising a lot back then, who knows. I got noticed by a few popular people whose work I liked  Narse and Circeus, and I have to say, I was honored.

As I wrote more more people started to notice me, I have met some absolutely wonderful people through writing, some of my best online friends, the Digimon fandom is amazing and I am so glad to be part of it. I would like to personally give my thanks to each and every one of my watchers, everyone who has ever commented on or Favorited one of my stories. Thanks to everyone who has requested or commissioned a story. Thanks to anyone who has noted me or added me on skype just to have a friendly conversation about Digimon and our headcanons. Thanks to everyone who has ever drawn a picture based on one of my stories, be it requested or commissioned, and thanks to everyone who has allowed me permission to use one of their pictures on one of my stories.

I want to give a few specific shoutouts now, first to people who have commissioned stories from me, including  Jogress,  Firstsong and  Kynexn for commissioning me, as well as a few others who aren't on FA. Thanks to  Shikaro,  Jogress,  Tiramizu and  RyeDidy for doing art for my stories. Thanks to all my friends on skype who talk to me every day including  Fandramon,  Fur_Stalking,  GaomonandLucario and many, many more. I wish I could thank each and every one of you specifically. Thanks to everyone who has ever collaborated with me including Firstsong, GaomonandLucario, Conzo and  Amaroq_Dricaldari

It has been an amazing year. In the past year I have written over 30 stories with a combined length of over 120,000 words. That is huge. That's a novel. It has let me express myself in ways I never have before and in ways I never thought possible. I know that writing is always an uphill struggle and it's a lot harder to get attention than it is as an artist, so I want you to know I appreciate each and every one of you reading this. It has been a great year, and here's to another great year coming up.

I know I sometimes take long breaks from writing, sometimes IRL stuff gets in the way, sometimes I feel sick, sometimes I am just not up to it, but I always come back. I now have more commissions than I know what to do with, and that amazes me. A year ago I never thought that I would be able to get paid doing these smut stories. So everybody reading this, thanks for making this year's worth of effort worthwhile, and hopefully I will continue to produce more of the content.

Thank you all, I couldn't have done it without each and everyone of you.
