i have both the pleasure and horror of celebrating (mourning?) my 25th birthday. supposedly there's significance to this number, something about becoming an actual adult - responsibilities and boring "adult" things you never worried about as a kid. they're all things that do their best to remind you that you're no longer cool or hip or jive or allowed to play Fortnite anymore. becoming 25 is the beginning of your march towards the inexorable where your path in life is, more often than not, decided for you.

it's definitely an age where you take inventory of your life so far, and i've always felt it's been an odd age to be at and still write porn - furry porn, no less, but i don't think there's any other kind i want to write. i've met many great people through the three years i've been writing these degenerate fics - good friends, best friends, and even my boyfriend! this fandom is a welcoming one, even to socially dysfunctional people like me; it's quite a magical thing.

and it's been a long time coming, but to those who have watched me, faved my writing, or even just read a few lines just for shits and giggles - thank you. i hope to deliver more and more content in the future and improve upon my writing as well. special thanks to  doratehexplorer99 for proofreading pages upon pages of typo'd, incomprehensible tripe, and  light-crusader for being a wonderful mate, pushing me to the best of my abilities, and providing the backbone of a vast majority of what i write.

it's been a weird, but splendid three years in the fandom so far - here's hoping for more.
