Oc-TOE-ber postmortem
General | Posted a month agoAnd with that, oc-TOE-ber is over.
Ngl, when I first started this project, I was a little apprehensive.
I’ve mentioned before in my social medias that I’ve tried other similar daily writing projects before, often with bad consequences—specifically, to my physical health—and while I knew that I could have just done microfics like last year (and in fact, that was the original plan for this year as well), there was this little voice at the back telling me to give it a try once again. Nothing big, just 300-600 words, some light editing if that.
If it works, it works; and if it doesn’t, who cares?
In fact, the main reason I did not post any of them here as I wrote them was because I was certain that I was going to fail. Maybe reach Day 5 or 10 (20 at best) before it got too much, and I defaulted to just doing microfics instead (after all, it would be bad optics if I decided to quit my own project). But to the surprise of everyone, more so myself, I actually managed to pull it off.
Now, I won’t deny that it did have some adverse effects. My head for the past month has been pounding like crazy, though not as bad as how it was around Days 10-15. It’s mostly when I do try to focus or think too much (which also means I barely got to do any reading this month or even watch some commentary youtubers I like), but still, even at my worst, it was nowhere near what I experienced last time I attempted something like this. So, I’ll take my victories where I get them.
All in all, sure, it’s not an experience I’d like to repeat anytime soon, but I’d consider this to be a great experience. As I’ve mentioned a few times before, unlike most writers, my biggest struggle when it comes to writing is drafting, and with this challenge being mostly 31 days of drafting, I’d like to think I’ve improved somewhat on it. Moreover, after writing over 30k words in a single month, I see it as a sign that I’m capable of taking bigger projects if I really set my mind to it. Maybe finally start working on those books I wanted to write (or at least finish my MayWolf VN from 2 years ago…)
But for the time being, going to take a mental break. In the meantime, my microfics for the next month are already scheduled (except for the FWG #WeeklyPawmpts), and got a new art piece for you guys incoming, so you guys won’t notice it as much. I’ll also see if I can somehow squeeze another short story in, though no promises.
Knowing now that I can actually finish these types of challenges, we’ll see what next year brings.
Bye for now, and see you under my paws.

New Signal Channel
General | Posted 8 months agoEDIT: seems like Signal does not show chat history for new members, so will re-upload the poll as new people join ¬¬.
Hey there!
For a long time, I've been thinking about creating something like a Patreon where I could better chat with you guys about new story ideas, get some feedback on stuff I'm posting, and maybe do some requests/raffles. However, with me usually not being that consistent and with all the headaches that come with Patreon, I always put it in the backburner.
The idea of a TG group or a Discord server crossed my mind, and was sorely tempted, but then remembered that I could always give Signal a try.
I've had my account for a while and while it doesn't have actual channels, I think I can make something similar. Could also use it to share neat stuff I find, or comms I've gotten, for those not following on Bluesky/Mastodon.
Here's the link to the "channel", and with me almost done with my next story, running a "poll" about what to write next. So why not* join and vote? ;)
https://signal.group/#CjQKIBxi9aGim.....ZeEfH0y5OKZx7g
*This is not a request. It's the tiger's orders. So get onto it.

Feedback closed + Opening for Requests (Closed)
General | Posted 2 years agoEDIT: No longer open for requests, but thank you to all who submitted to the form!
First of all, thank you to everyone who took their time to submit their feedback. I won't deny that I was surprised by some of the answers, but it does give me a better idea on what kind of stories you'd like to see.
In other news, I'm opening up for requests. However, before submitting a request, take into account that there are a few caveats:
- There are no guarantees that your submission will ever end up getting picked to become a story.
- This isn't a first-in, first-out. Requests will be picked entirely by what I feel like writing at that specific moment, and it could be several months before yours get done (if ever).
- These are requests, not commissions. If I decide to modify parts of it, I can and will modify it without asking for permission, and I won't be asking for approval either when it comes to posting the finished story.
Given the above, try to treat it more as submitting a story prompt or idea rather than getting a commission, and if you agree to these points, feel free to submit a request using the following form: https://forms.gle/AKZ7cUx9n9cSvZcZ6

Updates + Weasyl Account
General | Posted 2 years agoLong time no see,
It's been a while since I last posted. Now, that does not mean that I stopped writing, it's just that there were a few IRL commitments I had to deal with along with working on a longer project that hopefully you guys will enjoy (those following me on Mastodon might have an idea of what I'm talking about). So, I wanted to give you up a few heads up of what's been happening:
-First of all, just created a Weasyl account. That does not mean that I will be leaving FA, but it's good to have a back up account just in case. If you want to follow me, my new account is: https://www.weasyl.com/~pawggers
-While looking at my stories, I just realized that I never posted Trojan part 2, so expect to see it soon.
-Last, but not least, I've just created a form to do some "market research". It's mostly to know what you guys have been thinking about my writing so far, so that I better know what type of stories you're expecting. It's a small form and you don't need an account to fill that, so feel free to give me a hand if you have the time: https://forms.gle/ZcF7uuykjJJ9cVJG8
Do note that the results of this research will not completely dictate how I write from here on, as I already have ideas I plan to work on and this will only impact part of the execution. For example, if I wanted to write a story about a guy "selling" himself to pay for rent, you saying that you prefer mean Doms could end up making it a story where the guy ends up becoming a live-in servant to his landlord, while saying that you prefer gentle Doms could make it a story where the guys confides his situation to his best friend and they both decide to live together instead (after a good night of sex).
Maybe two completely different stories, that still share the same premise, outcome, and probably even themes. Moreover, even in cases where the story/characters themselves do not change, it'd give me an idea on how to prioritize the stories I have planned.
Thank you all for your support this past few months, and posting should start resuming soon-ish.
