New display name - damienCade -> Argy_Writer
Posted 5 months agoWhat it says above - changed my display name now that the feature's there for everyone. I'll probably change it again in future. Not super attached to the one I picked now, but the old one was just completely random and it'd be nice to have something that points at least a little bit to how I present myself online.
So the new ABDL tag
Posted 8 months agoDefinitely a long time coming, I'm glad to see it.
I'm not sure on the exact distinction, but seeing as all my work features adult characters I'm assuming the thing to do will be to just turn all of my 'Baby Fur' uploads into ABDL uploads instead. That'll take a little bit, but I'll start the process soon unless there's some reason I should keep some of them under the previous label.

Obligatory 'where to find me' post
Posted 12 months agoFirst off, I have no plans to leave FurAffinity unless I'm forced off, which (fingers crossed) I doubt will happen. Seems like text content generally gets more benefit of the doubt than art, so it probably wouldn't be for policy reasons, but with recent incidents such as people being banned for "not being a good match for the community", I don't want to take any risks.
You can find me at reallygrossstuff on Tumblr or AO3 - everything that's been uploaded here is cross-posted to both of those sites. I'm not sure where else it'd be a good idea to post my stuff or try to connect with people.
To be honest for a second, this all sucks. The way mods are treating ABDL content, perma-banning people even without policy violations, and the rumors that this is all happening to make the site more marketable... it's been sapping a lot of the enjoyment I get out of the art and community here. Not to mention all of this happening at a time where I'm trying to engage more with the furry community and make new friends there, and trying to build confidence to upload art as well as fic.
I don't know if I'll be able to do any of that if FA keeps going the way it is, and it's a really depressing thought. So much social media is a numbers game, or actively hostile to queer people, and I can't imagine feeling confident putting myself out there on any of those platforms. Hell, with what's already been happening, I don't know if I'm confident putting myself out there on this platform. Seeing people whose work I respect feel scared to upload new things, or actively purging their accounts because of these policy decisions, is a punch to the gut that keeps happening every day.
Sorry for such a downer of a journal. tldr: no plans to leave this site unless I'm forced off, but find me elsewhere too. New content coming eventually. Take care of each other.

Choose Your Own Adventure on Tumblr
Posted a year agoI experimented with running a CYOA late last year on a second Tumblr, and while that one stalled due to some organisational issues it was a lot of fun, so I'm doing another one! The focal character this time will be Jake, but things like the scenario or even the main fetish are still up in the air.
Go to the Tumblr here to vote for the fetish. If you're reading this in the future, after about a week the pinned post will instead be a poll for the specific scenario (which I'm currently accepting suggestions for via inbox), and after that the pinned post will be the jumping-off post for the entire text adventure to come.
At some point in the future I'll look at getting the adventure into a format that can be shared on Furaffinity, but that may end up not being possible, sorry. Make sure to check in on the blog so you don't miss anything!

Taking Deltarune requests on Tumblr
Posted 2 years agoJust thought I'd give a mention that I'm open for Deltarune requests specifically over on my Tumblr. Technically the ask box is open to everything all the time but I'm specifically trying to write for a different fandom right now to chase out my writer's block.
Thanks for putting up with how sporadic I am about uploads and scheduling, everyone. Hopefully I'll have new stuff out soon.

Probably no upload this week
Posted 2 years agoHad some personal problems this week that mean I haven't finished (or even really started) my intended Valentine's upload. I don't want to be harsh on myself about finishing late seasonal uploads, so I'll probably just drop this idea and move on with the plan of having something different for this time next week.
Update on 4/13 Week
Posted 3 years agoHi all,
So clearly the one story a day thing hasn't been happening, sorry. I think it was a bit of an ambitious goal, especially when there's some stuff I need to take care of IRL right now. I do still plan on putting up seven short chapters, though, even if that ends up taking a while to do, so stay tuned! And thank you for your patience.

4/13!!
Posted 3 years agoHey all! I've got an upload planned for 4/13 (that... might end up not coming out until the day after, but still!) but on top of that, a reminder that requests are open! Send a note with your request, comment it below, ask it on Tumblr - if it's got the birthday boy or the birthday spirit, I'll take a look!
I'll stay in 4/13 mode for about... a week, give or take, so don't be shy!

So what's going on here?
Posted 4 years agoSo this is me realising that on top of me being extremely inactive here, I haven't made a journal update in over a year at this point. I'm going to keep this short and hopefully cover the basics of what's going on, but if you have questions about something in particular, feel free to ask.
So what's been going on?
Long story short, I took a bunch of impromptu writing hiatuses because of poor motivation, meaning I wrote nothing at all for a period of about a year, and very little for a year after that. The past month or two I've been trying to get more active, but it's a slow process.
If you've been writing for a month, why has this page been dead?
Because as part of motivating myself to write every day, I've reduced the length of my average request fill, from 1000 words to 500. Since these stories are shorter, and uploading stories to FA is a real chore (especially if you make thumbnails for your stories), I've been keeping these shorter pieces to my Tumblr.
Will those stories ever come to Furaffinity or AO3?
That's actually something I wanted to ask about! Right now my plan is to upload the requests in batches once I have five of a specific type, but is that what people would prefer? Would you rather wait until there are five WG, ABDL or TF stories, or have me upload everything I wrote in a week instead? Let me know!
What's your schedule?
Nothing's set in stone, but my goal moving forward is to have a request up on my Tumblr, https://reallygrossstuff.tumblr.com/ and to have a story up about every week on all of my platforms. Here's hoping that works out! (Edit from the future, it's not working out right now, but I'll keep working on it!)
And again, sorry for basically ghosting this site for two years.

New collab fic released!
Posted 5 years agoI guess this is how I break my year-long hiatus! If you don't follow me on Tumblr,
AdenHTaylor reached out to me about collabing on a new story, and the first chapter just came out!

4/13 Thoughts?
Posted 6 years agoI still have April Fool's requests to do, but would anyone be interested if I put up something for John's birthday? I might try to do it for other characters I like a lot, or if someone requests something for a specific character's birthday, but this is the Homestuck Day, so I feel like I should do something by default.
Don't be shy to send suggestions here, by note, or over on Tumblr. I'd love to hear what you think.

April Fool's Day Requests
Posted 6 years agoSo like Christmas, New Year's and Valentine's Day, I'm opening themed requests for April Fool's Day. If you have something you want to send, get it in early so I can get ahead on these - I'm trying not to repeat the slow progress of Valentine's Day. If you have a non-themed idea, feel free to send that in too.
Requests can be sent via note here or through my Tumblr.

I have a Ko-Fi!
Posted 6 years agoIt's by no means mandatory, and content is still going up for free, but if you have some spare change, consider buying me a coffee!
Sequels to my Stories/Characters to Use?
Posted 6 years agoSo if you don't follow me on Tumblr, you probably don't know that I'm looking at which stories people want sequels for, as well as which characters people prefer in which scenarios. If you want a sequel or continuation of one of my stories and have an idea, or want a specific character in a specific circumstance, either send me an ask over there or Note me here!
A note about requests
Posted 7 years agoJust a note for all you guys - while requests are more than welcome, please don't send requests for fandoms that I haven't talked about/written for before. It's just awkward when you've clearly spent time thinking of a prompt, and it is good, but it's for a fandom that I'm just not interested in.
For now, just keep it to Homestuck and Hiveswap, and maybe Persona 5.
