I'm finding myself more and more in the situation of envying people wrapped up by snakes. I never before unironically said: "I wish that were me" when one of my soldiers in XCOM got wrapped up by a Viper!

Guess that's something to celebrate.

Also returning to writing after an awful week full of surprises taking up my time.

Heya! Just scrolling by on this profile? Take your time to read this!

I am currently looking to get into Dungeons & Dragons but I have no one to play with. I never played it before and therefore am a total beginner. I would really appreciate it if someone could teach me in a campaign, preferably a new one. I don't mind if it's a solo campaign (just me and DM) or with other people, I would prefer RP via text because I'm forced to use a Wi-Fi repeater which doesn't like voicechat so much. Just do avoid me randomly getting kicked out of voicechats and having to rejoin or lagging.

My schedule is relatively flexible. I literally got the whole day. I would need help creating my character though, don't worry, I already have a character with name, backstory, class, race and spec in mind.

Are you interested? Send me a note, add me on Discord or comment underneath this journal!

Long story short; Your art and stories may be copied and reposted by a user called furaffinity/user/miza14, who deletes shouts and comments exposing them. Their main account has already been suspended and multiple people filed a ticket already. They will be IP banned soon but if you see any of your art reposted on their account:

- Open a ticket
- Include links to your original post and their repost, stating they had no permission
- Include that it's an alt and they are performing ban evasion
- Leave a shout on their page so they see we know
- Warn every artist you know

PS: They blocked me

Edit: They were suspended/IP banned but apparently use dynamic IP addresses. We don't know their current account so watch out and follow the steps above when encountering content thieves.

Edit 2: Their ello is https://ello.co/dunkadevloawsharverselwav and they continue to repost stolen art and even copied my journal. However, reports with links to the original submissions have been sent to ello.

Edit 3: They also have a VK account which doesn't surprise me. VK is just crawling with scum because it's a Russian site. And as we all know Russia only cares when it's about them.

Edit 4: They're back on FA, watch this account for any stolen art: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/ispywitmelileye/

Edit 5: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/mizat07/

Here's a simple sentence:

Riryla jvyy shpx n ubg ivetva va gur cbby. Ba gur jrrxraq.

Find a way to decode it.

Heya;
You probably didn't notice but I was pretty burnt out on writing but that's now fixed.

All it took was a long session of Minecraft, a new video game, a book from a bestseller author for inspiration, tons of lewd fantasies one could transform into a story and my spontaneous descision to remake one of my older stories. This one. It is riddled with rookie mistakes and grammar. After a bunch of XCOM-themed roleplay with my friend I kinda got a feel for it again. Writing XCOM-themed stories like I originally intended and coiling stories that is.

We're also, somehow, approaching 100 watchers 0-0
Legit, when I checked today I was surprised to find 71. I haven't even uploaded a story in like, more than a month^^"
I know the art is great too and art will go hand in hand with stories but wow, and even art is infrequent x3

Massive thanks to all watchers and who stuck with me from the beginning, I'm glad you didn't abandon me yet!

I figured that I can't create text adventures for all my chars. There are just too many scenarios. Settings. Are you flirting with them? Are you good friends? Are you in an antagonistic relation to them?

I guess if you just want to get a feel for their character you can always ask me to RP as them. If you don't want it to take a lewd direction some characters, namely Evelyn aren't suited for it. She would pretty much try to get you down to business.

Good morning everyone!

Since it is now the 2nd of January I think we're far enough into 2021 for me to reflect about 2020.

For those who don't know, I joined in 2020. It was the year my journey on this site began. When I started finally socializing with people who were weird in similar ways. Previously I had never openly spoken about my kinks with one example. But I would spend my day on e621 never interacting with anyone.

That one example was the subreddit for XCOM, reddit.com/r/xcom. For those who know, Vipers are a bit of a community meme for having boobs. So much so that Viper brothels are actually canon for the newest game. There's also a conversation about vore with the Viper character, Torque. Not to say that Fireaxis actually twittered fanart. They knew since the launch trailer. Even though Jake Solomon claimed to not have known that the world had something for snakes with boobs. Poor summer child.

So there were a lot of memes and fanart posted, especially after XCOM Chimera Squad released. I took that opportunity to socialize with other weird people. Namely fortsnek47 and Kaymazo who became a good friend of mine. Without him and regular comment chains where we didn't only talk about kinks but actually life itself I grew more accustomed to expressing my weirdness freely. So much so to be actually called "Hitler" because I always rushed in to defend "furry shit" against anti-furs. But alas, the stream of fanart died down.

Still, without Kaymazo I probably never would've started to openly talk about what I like. We two are even recognizable on the sub as the people who will always comment underneath anything snek related.

Massive thanks, buddy.

But my FA journey didn't start yet. There was also a secondary subreddit, one I took over and own now. reddit.com/r/sexcom. It was what you expected. A forum dedicated to posting XCOM porn. It was pretty dead and I was the only one really posting.It didn't contribute too much to my decision to create an account on here but it definitely pushed me into the right direction.

In May I created this account but it was still far from active. Originally this was intended to be all about XCOM. Stories, not art. I perceived myself as an artist of words, not images. My writing to this day isn't the best. But it definitely has evolved.

See my first story and my most recent story.

Writing initially was... sporadic and it still is. I found myself often unsatisfied with how I wrote. How infrequent I wrote. This isa problem I still have, I am a huge procrastinator. I don't know when but I took my first three stories offline but reuploaded the first later on into my scraps. From there on out I started writing about whatever I felt like. But whoever checks my gallery will notice; two of my earlier stories (and my most recent one) are for welcomeToTheVoid.

I met him during summer break. We talked a lot via Discord and I think without him I would've never written any stories again. Or even more rarely than it was already. He also made the ref sheet for my first ever character; Tazi.

I never wanted a character. The whole idea of roleplay was pretty out of my mind which, has changed. I now really enjoy roleplay although I rarely have time for it.

Without going into too much detail, I got inspired by gigawolf102 to have a multitude of characters. ScalesInDark realized them.

The plan was and still is to have multiple characters to write stories about. Set characters my watchers know. So they always have expectations for each character. Every character is also meant to fill a niche. Nadja for all the snake-related stuff, Evelyn for seducing virgins et cetera. There are still more coming.

However, the most important thing of 2020 for me was all the disappointment.

I promised free stories to watchers, I ended up making and freezing one, cancelling the others. I opened commissions but ended up closing them again and refunding. I learned a lot through that. Mainly that I'm not ready and I should create a stable work schedule first. I'm sorry. I also wanted to start making sketches. I never even tried to begin. I have many story ideas yet I didn't even try to finish over the course of Christmas break.

I'm sorry.

But hey, that's something to keep in mind for the new year! Not only the friends I made along the way here on FA but also to keep improving. I will work on my schedule. Combat my procrastination. Get this lazy piece of human up and running, working, without suffering a burnout.

I will work to make 2021 a productive year for this account and myself!
Stay safe everyone and thank you for sticking with me. I know at times this account looked dead.

May 2021 not be a disappointment like its unsuccessful little bitch of a sister, 2020.

And let's hope I get my lazy ass up and start writing some more. I know, no pressure and all but still. I'm just pathetic. I have tons of, partly even great, ideas for stories but I just can't force myself to sit down and write. Same with Youtube. Wanted to pick both my channels up again a week ago yet didn't. Sometimes I question how I got as far in life as I did.

Anyway, since for probably most of you it isn't 2021 yet I will be too early but still;

For all of you still in 2020: "Happy new year!"

For those who already live in 2021: "Sorry for being late ._."

And for those who enter the new year with me: "Happy new year!"

Now, if you excuse me, time to get hammered.

Mine is Triage at Dawn from Half-Life 2:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-GU4jvSvz4

There is this incredibly simple to use engine for text adventures I found a good while back. Now I thought about re-downloading it. The plan would be to kinda make a small text adventure in which you can interact with my chars, Tazi, Nadja, Evelyn, Juna etc.

Just a small conversation or interaction to get a feel for their character.

What do you think?

>School has closed
>Overloaded with work
>No stories (commissions or personal) will be written
>Will stay like that until probably break

I had the task for English class to record an audio rant about the perfect life. I ranted 8 minutes but talked about so much more, it would be a shame for all that to be wasted.

Anyone wanting to hear me rant? Aka should I upload it?

If you commission me you must be 18 years or older. I may or may not ask for age verification. I do always check one's account before accepting a commission. Depending on your behavior, posts, language or similar indicators I will ask. After this has been cleared I will then get to writing your commission. I will send you small excerpts so you can give me feedback. If you want a full draft you will pay the price for the commission to avoid scam. When the commission is done I will ask you to pay via PayPal, if you did, I will upload it on my account and send you the finished commission.

End Note

By commissioning me you accept everything mentioned in this document, if you read it or not, you agree to pay me as soon as I'm ready to show you your story, you agree that you have no right of refund once a full story draft has been sent to you and you agree to not upload your commissioned story anywhere without my permission.

If there are any questions, ask now!

God damn, why do people exist who go onto a furry art site like e621, one that is way easier to browse than FA because of the fixed tags and openly available, and then start to kinkshame. A sentence I always had in my mind was "Imagine kinkshaming on a furry site" but it doesn't seem to apply, just go to a more 'exotic' piece of art on e621 and you're guaranteed to find someone complaining about the fetish or insulting the person.

Like, look, you're on a fucking furry site, if people knew that you'd be pretty much an outcast of all of your previous social circles, you know how absolute shit kinkshaming is yet here you are, complaining just because someone else enjoys something you don't and you know what's best? In an internet discussion you most likely said: "Some people just like different things, you don't have to like what I like" but here you are, being not better than any one arguing against furries, you've become the enemy, just let people enjoy what they enjoy, the blacklist exists!

God fucking damnit, I hate such people, there certainly are fetishes out there I don't share but motherfucker, you wouldn't want to be called out for what you like, would you? It also kills the mood and enrages people.

Also heard of a case where an artist of rather extreme stuff had to stop because a normie found out who he is in real life (and that's why all my accounts on the internet run via a fake Google acc, name and adress I mean).

And that's why you can't just enjoy more extreme stuff on pub sites like e621, everyone is entitled to be some kind of authority of which fetishes are ok and which are not, that's why it's so great to have no 'Like/Dislike' system here on FA and if you think something's wrong with me, fine but instead of kinkshaming think about the situation you are in.

Peeps, please don't kinkshame, live and let live.

/operation stopped successfully!

Sorry, I just had to vent

I'm currently working on another story for a trade with and, after a bit of critique from him I had a genius idea...

Why not just write my stories in German and then translate them?

They would so much better...

So yeah, I'm currently suffering from migraine, which also delays things a bit but I will then start to rewrite every story I got done so far... the ones that aren't on my account yet, I won't rewrite every story.

Steal this quote from me and use it if it fits:
Sometimes the most genius ideas are the most simple.

Edit: Found out that apparently sentences in English should be way shorter, welp, we here in Germany love to make long sentences with 10 commas :P

I moved a few pictures to scraps that really didn't have anything to do with my main stuff and deleted LnW, yes, it felt weird to basically delete what started it all but I still have the files on my PC, I never truly delete a story and if you want me to I can upload the 3 chapters again but this time into scraps if any of you want to enjoy them again but I'll leave it at that.

Edit:
-Asks watchers about something
-Disables comments

It's big brain time!

I don't like it.

You see, I've been writing for a while now and after taking a look at my more recent stories and the ones I already finished yet didn't upload until... some time this week I felt that LnW, especially Chap 01 and 02, are just utter trash, they feel like prototypes, which in a way they are, they were my first venture into this whole smut business, if you can call it that, at least it prolly will be a side business for me at some point when my writing skills are a bit refined.

Anyway, I seriously want to take them down and just never touch it again, I always was bad at writing anything more than one-off's and I think I should do what I'm good at, writing smutty one-off stories with different random characaters or characters from video games, follow-up's only happening if there's a demand for it like with "See you next deal~" and even then I'm unsure when I'll get to work.

I know LnW is probably the reason most of you are here, there's nothing wrong with unwatching if you feel like it, but I would ask you to stick around, maybe I'll write something you like and, presumably after another 4 stories I plan to do free commissions for watchers to train my skills, what is a writer with no one reading his stories after all?

Anyway, the quality of all LnW chapters is just trash, it doesn't feel like a proper multi-chapter novel with good worldbuilding, there's not enough happening in the chapters, the characters feel flat, at least for me and while I could try to just change the whole writing style I think I'd be better off swooping it under the carpet.

TL;DR
I want to take "Make Love, not War" offline and keep my hands clear of multi-chapter series.

Anyway, thank you for letting me waste your time and listening to my crying, if you have any thoughts feel free to comment them because I'm unsure if I actually pull it down.

Edit: I'd be ready to hand the rights for LnW over to another writer if they'd want it.

Hi, I'm still alive and I'm indeed writing and that's why I'm bothering you with this probably senseless journal because you'd notice the changes yourself, at least that's what I assume when you're a watcher. Anyway, I'm blabbing too long already, here's the meat of it all.

Stories from now on will be written as a PDF and uploaded as a PDF but I'll now paste the whole story into the description to make it instantly readable if one so desires. The PDF document will be superior in terms of formatting though, it's just one click for comfort.
I also got into drawing and while everything I did got destroyed in a caffeine-fueled artist's tantrum yesterday morning I'm still at it. I dunno why I did it but I did what I did. Do I regret it? Not really. I'll draw characters from now on so just that you know.

Anyway, enough babbling from my side, hope to c y'all again soon!

A friend of mine and someone who commissioned a story from me wrote a theory about the XCOM Vipers, that their breasts are not venom glands and it's pretty good and well thought-out, it certainly makes a ton of sense.

Read it here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comme.....round_the_old/

Finally that old wives tale gets sorted out!

I'll probably transform it into a video when I finally start my English second channel which will put a focus not on theories but on XCOM and PAYDAY and by that I mean that that'll be all the content on it.

Hey, this journal might not concern you but it's a short rant.
It's about this reddit post here

I think you immediatly see the issue:
The post doesn't say anything, it's not even specifying and no one knows if it's just a reminder or if it is a ban announcement or anything! It's especially weird because there has no porn been posted on this sub, suggestive at most but not a single bit of porn in... since I joined but now everyone, especially the people who are pretty Anti-Furry , are whining like it's a big issue, like the sub has turned into r/sexcom and is a complete fetish sub without a connection to the game, spend 5 minutes there, it's not the case.

I'm furious for now, no mod has answered my questions yet, I bet they know they fucked the announcement up, didn't make anything clear and made everything worse but for now they're silent. They know they can't ban fan art.

Here you could use the #IProtest in a good way.

Anyway, rant over, have a nice day.

Oh, hello! It's me again, your friendly neighborhood snek...
Okay, let's get to the important stuff.

I'm a lazy bastard, yes, I am, though I'm not telling you that I delay my stories, no, I'll upload everything I wrote and deemed 'good enough', everything that is refineable will be refined and I actually scrapped one idea, anyway, I have to copy and re-format everything I wrote because I, and most random people watching the 'Story' tab, are lazy, they and I want to read the story when we click on it, we don't want to download a Text-Document!

What does that mean?
Well, I'll upload everything as a plain .txt file which is... suboptimal because people read the story first and my description last so I'll have to integrate stuff into the story but hey! You won't have to download anything anymore! You just click and read anytime you want! And yes I'm also doing that because while I do get many views on my stories I do suspect that only 50% or so read them because, surprise, you'd have to follow a link or download something to read it so I'll make it easier.
Does that look like I'm greedy for Watchers or does everything seem normal?

Because I don't want to look like a greedy SoB.

Guess who now has a fursona? Me... again.

I never liked the idea of having a fursona you pretend to be (no offense) and I always tried to communicate from a human perspective and effectively being human without using my ugly face as my profile pic.
But now I kinda like the idea and therefore will now only talk from the perspective of my character... most of the times. If you're uncomfortable about speaking with a snek you can tell me that and I will talk to you as me... uh, human me.

That's about it, you might get a bio of my character further down the week, as I said, I have time now.

Bye!

Hey! I'm alive and well unlike my PC!

Short rant:
My expensive gaming laptop broke and even after re-installing Windows 10 it still crashes every few minutes to half-an-hour without any visible reason, I tried a lot of things already, welp, gotta use my notebook from 2010 which costed less than half and manages to survive 10 years without only 3 bluescreen crashes!

Actual reason for the journal

I have a few pieces of art incoming, and I'm working on LnW 03, a short one-off and a darker, more violent XCOM story, still writing of course, but I decided to create my own character, draw my own character and give him a story, turn him into my fursona and slip into his role, more info when the character sheet is out, and I'll do some drawings myself... for myself and another guy I promised a vore piece.

Guess who just got handed a subreddit because the original guy didn't feel like it anymore? That's right, me!

What is r/sexcom?

Simply said, it's a porn-sub that is specifically at everything that has to do with XCOM, doesn't matter what you post there is an alien or human from any of the games, you don't even need to post own art, just make sure to credit, you can even post stories.

Where can I find it?

reddit.com/r/sexcom

How active is the sub?

Not much, we have 1.4k members but only about 30 are active on a daily basis, comments are also nearly non-existent but your post will be seen, I advertised all my Make Love, not War chapters there so if you do XCOM stuff and you want to reach out to a specialized community...

How's the state of management?

Currently it looks like I'm the only moderate original guy said he doesn't want to moderate anymore so I'm management, we currently have no banner or pic, not even rules but I promise, that'll change soon!

Why r/sexcom and not r/yiff etc.?

Because r/sexcom is specialized on XCOM content.
