400 Submissions! A Recap.
7 years ago
Not only are we closing in on 11 years on FA for me, but yesterday I hit the 400-submission mark in this gallery of mine. So I thought it'd be fun to do a bit of a recap! Let's take a look at a few statistics:
Most Views!
This category seems to be pretty much entirely ruled by
Endium's art. He drew 14 out of the top 16 pieces by views; this comic page got the most views to date, followed by the rest of the comic and plenty more of his stuff.
Most Comments!
This is more of a mixed bag, since not everything that you all like to see necessarily provokes discussion. Let's do a quick top 5:
4. (tie) Maximum Security Facility evidently prompted a lot of you to talk about the thought of being so utterly and hopelessly trapped for a very long time~
4. (tie) Dragon Wash apparently revealed that a lot of you want/need a good bath!
3. The Thief was one of my oldest commissions and first comic, though it seems there were a number of you eager to assert that she didn't deserve that fate. Well she says "mmmmff!" to that!
2. Self-Bondage part 3 appears a second time, and I got a lot of very unfair chiding for not reading or knowing instructions or insistence that obviously I wanted that to happen. I am obviously innocent of that, and the instructions are quite confusing I tell you!
1. Ask Hueroc! Inviting comments clearly worked for this meme, as I got to answer a great many in-character questions about the big red dragon.
Most Favorites!
This category was surprisingly competitive, as just a couple of favorites separated 3 different submissions all vying for 5th place. I'll give an honorable mention to Good Girl, because I found
Fortuna's art super hot and I'm glad you all did too. On to the top 5!
5. Self-Bondage part 2. Everyone likes seeing a dragon get enveloped in latex! Especially when said enveloping involves a big gag and a big plug violating the poor thing, and
Endium's wonderfully shiny art certainly realized it well! Add in the poor dragon having no evident way out, it's easy to see why you all liked this one :3
4. Override. In which we find out just how much people like robots! Specifically tied up robots locked in chastity and getting their rumps pounded. Good choice, especially with all the marvelous detail
Tanraak put into it, that poor pent up thing with no choice but to be reprogrammed~ Plus as a bonus this piece started making a few friends of mine start thinking about dragon androids too~
3. Bulge. Another
Tanraak commission, featuring more shinyness, a muscular rump, and quite the latex-squeezed erection. Hueroc remembers when I let him have those! It's a very nice view--quite similar to the previous entry on this list, actually, but I'm not complaining! Certainly gives an up close personal look at what's making the dragon so pent up c:
2. Maximum Security Facility. It's no surprise seeing this piece here. The level of detail put into the latex, the lighting, the anatomy is all top notch, lots of shiny latex and little wrinkles of that wonderful tight material, and seeing a dragon just hopelessly wrapped up on it is always a plus <3 One of my absolute favorites too!
1. Ashar's Relief. Honestly this one is a big surprise, and it wasn't even a close race--this has the most favorites in my gallery by more than 80 over 2nd place.
Endium's art is good, and the bondage is tight, but apparently there is a demand for forced autofellatio art that I did not realize existed! Looking around a bit the piece does seem to be rather unique, and thus it lands on the top of the list.
Most Favorites--Stories Only Edition!
It's not a big surprise that the art gets more favorites than my standalone stories (to give you an idea, #1 on this list is #107 overall). It doesn't take as much of a time commitment to enjoy, and it's not for everyone, I get it. But as a writer, I want to be sure to highlight the most popular of these too! Obviously much of the art that does rank highly also has a story posted in the details underneath it, but since a favorite doesn't mean that story actually got read, this category is going to be for story submissions only.
5. Dragonsbane. This one has been my featured submission for several years, so it getting a fair bit of exposure is no surprise! It's got plenty of bondage, denial and humiliation, plus a lighter tone, and it was fun to write so I'm glad it got some attention.
4. System Restore. More kinky robots! This story was a fun experiment with some kinks I was new to, so it was good to see it rack up a bunch of favorites to tell me I must have done a good job ^^ I will clearly have to keep in mind in the future that you all like pent-up androids...
3. Detained. This and some of the others on the list sure makes it seem like you folks like dragons getting stuck quite hopelessly and permanently in bondage and chastity... which is good, cause I like writing that theme too :3 Probably the most harsh of the stories to make the list.
2. In Need of Company. At last, something consensual! This story (and its two sequels) were great fun for me. I really like writing horny squirmy needy subby dragonesses (duh >.>; ) and this story/series were an opportunity for me to do lots, and lots, and lots of that. It was great fun, one of the first stories I got an accompanying illustration for, so it was good to see it get popular.
1. Eternal Dungeon. Once again, I had great fun with this one! I really liked the sense of mounting dread I got to play with as the dragon explored deeper and deeper, let himself get tempted even when he knew he shouldn't, and found himself so deep over his head... It was very intense and exciting so I'm not surprised to see it here. Even if the poor dragon might not agree, but that'll just make him struggle more, and that's always the best part <3
So after all of those highlights, here's a question: are they your favorites too? Or do you have an old favorite piece in my gallery that didn't make the list that you want to remind me of? Themes you want to see me play with some more, revisit, expand on? And I'm always willing to experiment and try things out, as long as those things involve tied-up dragons not getting to cum ;)
That's me. 400 submissions of dragons squirming and struggling for release, and many more to come~

I think the "In Need of" series is probably my favourite by far, and I feel like I keep hoping that more chapters pop up at some point, or more stories like it. Certainly that's not to say that the other stories don't catch my interest too, I definitely enjoy most of them! (I hesitate not to say 'all' just because I'm sure there's been one or two duds that didn't tickle me in any memorable way)
As for my favorite pics, they would be with Adhara in them, like Good Girl, but i love scalies in general so any pic with them is good. :D
However if you want a specific piece than the newest pic i like would be this one. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/28867809/
for one of your older pieces it would have to be this one. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16575291/
P.S. more Adhara artwork/stories. >.> <.<
It's a good thing someone likes her, I worry that people might be tired of me posting a bunch of art of her >.>;
There will be!
Anyway, I'ma maintain my statement - you need to give some of them giant hoards of pillows for everything you've done to them.... :D
Hueroc and Adhara have received those! c:
As for themes for you to explore more? honestly just continuing to do what you enjoy is the best, i enjoy practically everything that you produce >3> though i will admit i focus more on the anthro female side of things, just do to my own preferences x3 but doing what YOU want to and enjoy always produces the best stuffs, so keep that up ;3
Here's to another 400, you're a wonderful writer, thanks for sharing your stuff with the public for this long
This one really tops the charts for me as of late. The all-black shine is just lovely and breathplay is something that I find quite exciting, yet don't see all that often. Intense and delightful, with your descriptions as always adding so much to the piece. <3

I think you already know what my favorite is. As for what I'd like to see more of... how about, just moar? I like seeing anything you post. Maybe more consensual stuff; loving stuff between mates that are also cruel, like this one http://www.furaffinity.net/view/28763644/
I think it could be fun to see more stuff with edging and even orgasm at the end, having an "end" is satisfying (not a pun).
I dunno, do I know your favorite? There are a lot of fun things in my gallery, if I'm allowed to say so. >.> As for consensual stuff, I seem to have been on a bit of a kick of consensual scenes, but who knows how long that will last!
I used to pretty reliably end a story with an orgasm, but perhaps I've gotten meaner as time has gone on~
As far as commissions from particular artists go, Fortuna and Endium's art is always good to see. But I've been liking a good deal of Owlette's art a lot as well. The detailed shading is amazing. I have to give particular props to Security Breach and Magic Collar, and Condo Invasion is just adorable.
Dragonsbane is a good story, deserving of its featured spot! And I have to admit, In Need of Company is a bit of a guilty pleasure.
As for themes to experiment with: what do you think of gagging one of your captive dragons by taking their mouth away, perhaps via magic or strange high-tech devices? It's a strange concept, I'll admit, so no pressure if you're uncomfortable with that.
