Gumroad just changed their rules to ban all NSFW content including written fetish smut (and yes, written fetish works are specifically spelled out with no wiggle room).

If you've bought my books and lost or didn't keep the files now is the time to save them.

Here's the folder with the links.

Otherwise, a big thank you to everyone who supported my hobby/experiment of self-publishing these past two years and plugged it for others, including a big thank you to  GrayGhost64 and  Ratafari who not only did commission work for my books but occasionally gifted me a free piece to include. Also special thanks to  Silberlynx,  HeckinEatcha, DragonessSapphire and  CaptainDood122 for beta reading.

Big thanks again for all my customers and supporters,

~Littledude_DTF

Starting today, I’ll be releasing She-Wolf In the Scene Vol. 2 one chapter per week as per Vol.1. I’ll be aiming for Friday morning releases so long as work and life permit. A big thank you to everyone who bought a copy and to those who don’t want to wait or would like to support the creation of more books, it will still be up for purchase on Gumroad until the last chapter is released.

More Caught by Cats coming later this year. These will remain exclusive to Gumroad except for shorts like in Cattails Vol. 1. I also have plans for a macro military sci-fi novel set to launch at an as of yet unknown date.

Happy New Year!

With ten days left in January, it seems like an appropriate time to do my New Year’s Journal about my plans for this year. :D Better late than never!

Looking Back

First, a big thank you to everyone who bought my Caught by Cats novellas. I have more stories in this setting and others coming up this year, which comes to my next point:

Looking Forward

Over the last year I’ve been working on expanding the short story Predator Pretending into a full-on light novel with five new illustrations commissioned from  GrayGhost64 along with a couple old ones you can see in my gallery. The story is done and roughly 35k words long. It’s not the longest story I’ve done, and fell a bit short of my goal of a full 50k draft, but it feels like a milestone because I’ve written it all prior to uploading it.

I've decided on a new model for this and potentially other long books going forward as I want to share my work while also making some scratch for commissioning illustrations for future stories.

I will be uploading this book, She-Wolf On The Scene, in four parts here and other places over the next four weeks, one chapter at a time every Sunday. I will also have the entire book up on Gumroad and Lulu for purchase for those who don’t want to wait or would like to help support this and future illustrated books.

Lastly, I am putting together a polished and illustrated version of These Messages to go up sometime before the end of this year.

Once again, big thanks to everyone who's supported me thus far by buying my novellas. Special thanks to  Silberlynx and  HeckinEatcha as beta readers and  Ratafari for helping me adapt art into cover images, as well as a further thank you to  GrayGhost64 for doing so many art pieces for me on often short notice.

Chapter One of She-Wolf On The Scene goes up tomorrow, hope you all enjoy it!

So back in 2020 I announced plans for a book and it's only been a year since my deadline passed.

But!

I am excited to announce that I will soon be delivering a short, intensively adult fun novella up for purchase soon and am hoping to have it up before August. Story is written, presently being polished and proofed and I am looking for any artists looking to do tie-in artwork for commissions.

Expect samples and excerpt soon!

So, what's this story actually about?

You may recall my recent sequel story to Initiation that caught up with Aiden the mouse boy and Jaina the cat girl a year after meeting? But what happened during that time? This novella will answer some of those questions.

That's all for now, check out my gift art and the great artists who made it for me and have a happy 4th!

35 today, where does the time go?

Sup folks. Just bought and read through  friskydingo33's extended comic series for Zoey the fox which you can find links to here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/41073961/. Really enjoyed the new pages and there's a nice bonus at the end that got me real excited for their future works. The comic is up on Gumroad: https://gumroad.com/products/wGnqq but it will soon be up on Lulu, e-621 and e-junkie.

If you like vore and sexy times with big giant gals I'd definitely give this comic a read. Also would like to mention that the artist has a patreon up as of now. https://www.patreon.com/friskydingo33 so there's a point of further interest.

Hey everyone, apologies for no smut or scribbles this week, but I’ll try to make it up by sharing a few tips for anyone looking to get into writing based on my own experiences.

Disclaimer: Don’t consider these a “how-to” or even a “must-do”, more consider if they sound like something you would like to try or feels like a conducive way to go about writing stories. My hope with this little newsletter is that it might help anyone who’s not sure how to write get started, but DO NOT consider this the only source of information.
As with all learning processes, you have to take in multiple sources and it’s a lifelong process. Never stop trying to improve yourself, even when you think you’re good enough to hand out advice like me.

All right, now that that’s out of the way:

Storytelling: The Basics.

Intro: so you want to write about giant furry people, or regular furry people, doing NSFW or SFW stuff. What’s the difference between a furry/fetish story and a regular story safe for the general population?

Answer: there isn’t one. No, really!

But DTF, major publishing house X says no Furries! Obviously Furry fiction is different than regular fiction.

Publishing guidelines aside, stories can be broken down into the same elements across all mediums and interests. The only thing that makes your story a furry story is (wait for it) it has furries in it, is about furries and is posted under the keyword of FURRY! I’ll go into more detail on this in another advice column down the road.

But for now, what should be understood is that you can see and use the same basic elements of Character and Conflict to write about Dongfox and his 80ft schlong knocking down skyscrapers as you would about Space Marine Spiff or Fantasy Hero Harry taking on their respective bad guys.

How does that help me write about Dongfox and his 80ft schlong?

Now that we’ve established that your furry smut is as much a story as your Dad’s military fiction and your sister’s vampire TV shows, we need to ask ourselves the obvious question: what makes a story?

A story, in the crudest sense, is a sequence of events told from a storyteller to an audience. Just like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSNVC9ZkMts. Despite the comedy angle and abrupt ending, every single sequence is a complete story (Okay see one time=Once upon a Time; Okay bye=The End).

In a story something happens, did happen, or is happening (think second-person style RPs) and you are telling someone about it. The events form portions and when read together create a story whether it’s in 3-Act Structure, 5-Act Structure, follows Western or Eastern plotting (yes there is a difference, but that’s another journal).

So how does knowing all this trivia help me get better?

By itself it won’t. Writing is an art, and like all art it has to be practiced and studied. The best way I can think of to write something is to read something, specifically, read that thing you love and want to write. If you want to write about 80ft schlongs on giant foxes, you need to read about giant foxes with 80ft schlongs, find the stuff you enjoy, and then incorporate those elements into your own work.

Isn’t that stealing?

Yes! And now you know the secret to being good at writing. You steal stuff! ideas, descriptions, settings, hell, take whole characters and change their names and places.

I can’t copy Wiener Giants stories! People will recognize his work and his fanbase will rip me a new one!

Don’t copy WeenerGiant’s stories! Never copy! Same with art. Copying=bad Inspiration=good.
Read WeenerGiant, ScrotumSmasher, ToweringTestes and VansDeferrer’s stories. Build your ideas off multiple sources, recombine them in different ways, play around with what if scenarios like how what it would be like for a giant to pass a kidney stone.

Again, copying is wrong, remediation is the history of human creativity.

Okay, okay, I’ll steal! I’ll steal your ideas; how do you like that?

Great! I love it when people get inspired from my work and want to use my ideas there in their own stuff. And so should you. It’s a way of getting more of the stuff I like out there in the world.

I stole your ideas, now what do I with them? I still can’t actually write.

Well, that’s the tricky part, isn’t it? Everyone always has the perfect story in their heads, but when they try to put it down to a paper or word doc., they can’t get it out.

Yeah...and how do you expect me to do that?

As I’ll state for the third time—this journal is only my opinion and life experiences and what works for me. It may not work for you, but if you want to try, then I have HOMEWORK (yes, that’s right, homework) for you. This won’t make you a master storyteller overnight, but it may give you something to start with.

Just give me the homework already and get back to writing smut.

Here it is. Go back and watch the YouTube video I know you didn’t watch the first time to get a basic grasp of cause and effect. Then, reach into that big swirling bin of stolen ideas you have and WRITE OUT YOUR STORY IN 2-5 SENTENCES.

That’s it. That’s your homework a single paragraph. Here, I’ll do mine right now as an example:

One time, Dongfox was smashing up Testicleburg with 80ft schlong and a window washer got stuck up his urethra. It hurt, so Dongfox rubbed the end of his schlong off until he shot the window washer out in his cum. Then Dongfox felt better and smashed the rest of Testicleburg.

There, that’s it. That’s a whole macro rampage furry smut story. Feel free to look it up, I’m sure this plot has been used somewhere, somehow in some other form. And look! I did M/m and cock vore for the first time ever! You’re welcome.

But what about the details? And the dirty goodness? You’re supposed to spend ten thousand words describing how big and thick and veiny that schlong is, and another five thousand on the massive torrent of white seminal fluid and the millions of people who drowned in it! And who is Dongfox? Why does he flatten Testicleburg? Where did his 80ft schlong come from? Was he always a giant?

Those things will be coming up in later journals and will be covered in more homework (yay!).
The important thing for now for anybody actually listening to my unaccredited ass and trying this is that you start thinking in terms of complete stories. You need a sequence of events to tell first and foremost, then worry about how you will tell them.

That’s all for now, stay tuned (if I haven’t scared you off) for more writing tips! Also, feel free to post your story homework in the comment section for critique and feedback!

Have put off my New Year’s journal so it hopefully wouldn’t get lost in the flood of HAPPY NEW YEAR posts, but there’s also another a reason I waited until today which I will get into further down. So without further delay, here's the quick rundown

2020 mostly sucked: k thnx bye

Parts of 2020 that didn't suck making some new friends like  iMaw  Ratafari and  FriskyDingo33. Finally get some decent art (at least the art other people did for me haha) up in the gallery. Starting into the big wide world of visual art and I can actually talk to artists about furry stuff now if they aren't into reading. Getting a job from  Sofia.exe Learning to cook better and joining  RetroInferno's wild ride. Would like to especially thank  GrayGhost64 and  Ratafari for the suggestions they've left on my art scraps.

On the Book promise of last year: well, I never managed to get that done, however there’s still a chance it will happen this year just maybe not in the way I was expecting it to. Will have more say more about books in the future hopefully.

New Year’s Resolution and Plan: I, Duct Tape Fanatic aka DTF aka Littledude (Eka's handle), hereby resolve to have some kind of a content update by the end of every Sunday for the duration of 2021 be it art, story, or journal. Doesn’t seem like much, I know, but considering I’m doing this for free and about 3-4 other things it still feels like a challenge.

I can’t exactly promise a 6-page comic or a 5k short story every week and obviously a lot of it is because the BIG PROJECT I mentioned here https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9636630/ is still going on and still takes a lot of time in addition IRL stuff but hopefully it won’t stop me from at least putting some sketches/vignettes up.

In conclusion I want to say thanks to everyone who follows me, keeps me encouraged to write and has helped me get better as an artist. Thank you for a year of watching/favs/commenting/critique and here’s looking to a year’s more!

~DTF

 redeyes98 has asked to continue the story and I've given them permission to do so. For those of you who don't know what this story is: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/660768/. That's all for now, hopefully I'll have a nice big surprise this weekend to end out Voretober on a high note.

But I did happen to dig out another short story which might technically be considered vore (I don't know or care enough to ask anyone for sure). Finally got some time off next week and I'll be hopefully working on a big finale to this month so stay tuned.

Voretober starts tomorrow and some of my followers may recall me mentioning it a month ago: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9603046/. For those who need a refresher, it's a 31-day art/writing/whatever challenge with a different prompt each day. I managed to get all 31 done 2 years ago, got about half done last year---and this year that number will get smaller.

But!

I've decided that this year that, due to time constraints, which will be explained below, I'll focus on quality over quantity. To that end I'll be doing one prompt each week instead of trying to cram it all in. This week's prompt will be Soft and should be up by Sunday. In the meantime, enjoy some more of my bad sketching that I've been doing to keep my sanity through these trying important insane times.

Is that all you've been up to, you lazy bastard?

Nope! I've actually been writing fairly on the regular even if I haven't been posting it. I'm currently helping  Sofia.exe with a big project the details of which I will leave to them, although I will say that if you enjoy my writing and their writing you'll definitely enjoy what we're cooking up!

That's all for now, happy Voretober/Halloween.

Don't know how many I'll get done this year, but going to try! If you're interested, here it is
The Rules: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38006055/
The Prompts: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38006096/
It's a lot of fun and a great way to get some art/writing done, I encourage anyone who likes creating vore to do a few!

For visual art! Decided to spend all my extra free time at home trying to learn the art of visual art. After 17+ years of writing about furry girls I will now be trying to learn to draw them. Anyone who likes may feel free to look at my Scraps tab and laugh.

Being stuck on lockdown seems the perfect time. Will have a short story up by the end of the week. Twitter is XlargeDuctTape for those interested: follow me and I'll follow you. Otherwise, everyone stay safe and stay healthy!

I’d like to announce some exciting new projects that will appearing here soon, all involving my happy little urbanized jungle of sex and predation as seen in These Messages and The Feral System and perhaps some other universes.

A consolidated, proofed and tweaked version of TM and TFS. My novel and novella will be uploaded as single documents after being cleaned and groomed.

Art! Yes, we finally have art! The highly talented  iMaw has drawn a scene from These Messages which you can view here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/34684591/

A Book! This one is a personal goal I’ve had a for a while. I am going to write and epub a book that will up for purchase hopefully by mid-year to the end. I’ll make sure it has a quality cover, a reasonable price and it will be heavily polished, edited and proofed. Expect to see tie-in short stories and released snippets leading up to the big launch. Am also looking for artists and beta readers, so let me know if you want in on this.

No Patreon! Ever! I have nothing against the service or the people who use it, but…I’d rather try my hand at the bookselling. If people spend money on a personal project I’ve worked on, that’s more than enough support to keep me going (Besides, I already have a day job and I work terribly at meeting deadlines).

So in case anyone is interested and doesn’t know, the month long art prompt challenge known as Voretober is coming up and the prompts have been posted early to try to give people more time. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/32926391/

I’ll be trying it again this year and while I don’t know if I’ll get them all this time, I’ll give my best shot, so stay tuned!

Also, wow, been 10 months since my last story, crazy sad how fast life goes by.

Have finished most of my editing/revision of the Samantha and Daniel arc and compressed it into a proper story. Just need to come up with a proper image thumbnail and I'll have the first part uploaded by the weekend.


I recommend anyone who read this before to look at the updated version as I have made extensive rewrite and added much more content thanks to no longer being on a challenge spree.


Also, RIP Stan Lee :(

So, I made it through the Voretober challenge of 31 days of stories. Big thanks to everyone who read my stories and is still reading them. I learned a lot about pacing myself and getting work done on time doing this, and if anyone else wants to try something like this (we are in Nano-November after all) here's how I managed to write a story each day of the month.


1) Started each story with a character.


Character > Plot, meaning that a story with compelling characters and interactions between them can often compensate for cheesy or corny plot. That isn't to say good plotting and description isn't important, but it's usually the character that hooks the reader. I've found that to also be true for writing--even when doing a story I didn't feel particularly strong for, I was able to focus on the characters and what I wanted to see them do.

2) Budget time

I tried to follow a schedule best as I could. Everyone has their own creative process and there's no one right way to work, but I spent two hours after work each day eating and relaxing, and then worked until bedtime. Knowing how much time I had to write gave me an idea how long my stories needed to be. I also didn't play any video games except on certain days and at certain times (Sunday night was my designated Destiny time).

3) Set a deadline.

I had a rule: get a story finished and uploaded before bed. Undoubtedly, this led to my stories being lower quality than they could have been and in sore need of revision (more on that later) but it did serve the purpose of focusing my work and ensuring I would always get something done so I could move onto the next day.

4) Don't look back

After finishing each day and uploading my story, I stopped thinking about it beyond recycling the setting and characters for other prompts. While I did check comments/favs for feedback, I used it for the next story I was writing instead of going back to an older one.

5) Do what works now

I didn't do a lot of outlining, but I did think ahead about what I was writing. However, because of points 2) and 3) I didn't have a lot of time to debate whether or not what I was writing was "good" or would get a lot of comments and favs. My priority was getting a story, any story down, and I told myself that, no matter how my current story did, I would be writing another one immediately afterwards.

I do have to admit that I did plan out the multi-part story that ended on the 31st to an extent by picking the relevant prompts and writing the sections around them, so I guess the advice would be better served as: do what works now, the way you know it will work.

Now onto the future

So, as mentioned above, my fast-paced writing schedule left little time for revision and editing, so I'll be working on putting together the Sam/Danny segments into a proper story which may or may not contain some of the other shorts. It's a setting and cast I've done a lot of fleshing out over the last month and I'd like to use it some more.

I'm really enjoying Gesshru by  Arbon and would encourage anyone enjoying my current story series to take a look at his work. It was, in fact, an early inspiration for To Dream. Arbon also has a Patreon up and is a writer I thoroughly enjoy reading.

No story update this week due to holidays, but rest assured I'm working on it in-between festivities. Everyone have a happy holiday weekend!

I'll be doing some more writing for  Mallowchu drawings, but mostly as small blurbs accompanying artwork though I may do another story with their characters. If you liked the story I did, these shorts will be largely in the same spirit though shorter.

Also, he's looking for commission work: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7820697/

Hit my third decade today (ya me) and also here to say that I'm still kicking around with a couple stories in the works:

--another Ian/Ashley story

--an as of yet unnamed Mech story (I binge watched the new Voltron recently)

These stories won't come out in any particular order and it's really just a question of which I feel more strongly towards. Now, on to watching the fireworks.

I've seen a movie Deadpool that didn't suck. I can go get hit by a bus now and feel no regrets.

As part of an end-of-the year thank-you to my fans, I've decided to watch everyone with gallery submissions who's watching me. If I've missed you or you just want a watch regardless, please reply below.

Otherwise, thanks for the watch and may the next year be full of good writing and art.

My stories are now arranged the same way as Taco Bell hot sauce: Mild, Spicy, and Extreme.
