Here’s my Bluesky page: https://bsky.app/profile/nicoratmage.bsky.social
Give me a follow if you’re interested and have a great day! Also more stories to come soon!
See ya!

Election Day 2024: Vote for Kamala Harris & Tim Walz
Posted 12 months agoBasically says it right there in the title.
Go vote today if you haven’t yet. I will be alongside my mom. If you care about democracy and living in a society that cares about other people and values basic human decency, don’t let Donald Trump and the GOP take over this country. Do something about it and VOTE.
Vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
And every other Democratic candidate on the ticket as well! Don’t vote for ANY Republican candidate at all. None of them care about you. They are all full blown fascists now. Plain and simple.
That’s my two cents. So please do the right thing today.

Feedback Wanted: Trying Something New w/ Story Uploads
Posted a year agoHi guys,
So I’ve been getting back in the saddle with writing lately. Got a few new stories I’ll be uploading soon. But I wanted to throw an idea out in the open.
Since I started writing and uploading here, I’ve always uploaded my stories twice. A plain text file in the Main Gallery. And a PDF in the Scraps gallery.
I want to try just uploading stories as PDFs in the Main gallery. I find working around the site’s quirks with plain text files kind of clunky and any neat changes I make to text font doesn’t show in that format.
What do you guys think? Should I give it a shot? I think it would honestly make my life a little easier than uploading everything twice.

Welcome Back Everyone!
Posted a year agoLooks like the site is up and running properly again!
Glad to see this debacle over and done. I know I’m not around nearly as much as I should be, but I honestly love this place.
Take care guys.

Update: Stories and Social Media Things
Posted 2 years agoHi guys!
Been a while since I updated here last. Wanted to let you know a couple things.
1. If you follow me or would like to follow me on social media sites like Twitter, but would rather not use Twitter (I wouldn't blame you), I made a Bluesky account! Here it be:
https://bsky.app/profile/nicoratmage.bsky.social
2. I'm making decent progress on lots of story ideas. I'll actually be posting a horror vore story for Halloween shortly. And many more stories will be coming soon!
That's about it. Happy Halloween! Have a good night folks!

Been a Hot Minute
Posted 2 years agoHi everyone!
Just letting you know I'm still around and doing my thing. Writing. Gaming. Living life. All that good stuff.
It's also my birthday again! Turned 28 today and it's a nice chill day so far. I hope you've all been doing well yourselves and that today is good to you.
That's pretty much it for now. I'll drop another journal when I've got something to say again. Take care guys! ❤️

Using FA More and Other Social Media Developments Part 2
Posted 3 years agoOk, so it looks like Twitter is on the verge of a total meltdown. With that in mind, here's a link to my Linktree. That will lead you to all my socials besides Twitter and FA.
For the sake of specifics, you'll find me on Tumblr, Pillowfort, Mastodon, Cohost, and Itaku.

Take care in these crazy times everyone!

Using FA More and Other Social Media Developments
Posted 3 years agoHi everybody! Nico here.
So in case it isn't obvious, I've definitely dropped off in my use of this site quite a bit outside of posting my own stories. I wanna change that and start favoriting and commenting on other peoples' posts.
I'm thinking about this since I'm much more active on Twitter, but as you likely know, things are getting pretty screwy with that site lately. As a result, while I'm not jumping ship from Twitter, I've been setting up alternative accounts on other sites as a backup, just in case. I might make another journal with links to those accounts soon for those who might be interested.
That's basically it. I'm planning to try using FA a little more and I'm setting up new accounts in case Twitter bites the dust. Have a good one folks!

Finally Updated my FA Bio Page
Posted 3 years agoWell, just as the title says. I updated my bio on my FA page. I figured it couldn't hurt since my old one was from March of 2020. Before I had even conceived any ideas for my fursona.
Anyway, that's basically it for now. Have a good one guys!

Looking for Advice on Writing Commissions
Posted 3 years agoHi everyone! I hope you're all doing well. As the title of this journal says, I'm looking for some advice.
I have a question about writing commissions. To any writers who have done commissions before, how do you handle pricing/payment models? How do you charge for your work?
Some people have asked if they could commission me for stories. And while I don't know if I'll make opening commissions a regular thing with me, I figure it can't hurt to have some sort of payment model in mind that's fair for all parties.
Any advice would be great.

Random Musings: My FA Page
Posted 3 years agoHmmmm maybe I should update my front page a bit. Add some character details perhaps? I do have a fursona developed now. Something I couldn't say back in March of 2020 (when I first started filling in my empty FA page).
Birthday and Updates
Posted 3 years agoHi everyone!
Just a quick update on a few things:
1. I'm still alive.
2. It's my birthday! For a couple more hours anyway. I turned 27 today and it....feels weird being this close to 30 already. It's been a decent day though. Can't complain.
3. Regarding the drought of stories, I've actually been working on a small multi part series for the last couple months and I'm hoping to finish that up soon. Stay tuned for that!
Hope you're all doing well and I'll update again soon. Have a good night everybody!

PDF for Nico's Origin Story
Posted 4 years agoHi guys!
So I just realized that while I made secondary posts for my 2nd and 3rd stories that gave access to a PDF instead of Text File, I never did that for my 1st story that tells Nicodemus's origin story!
Woopsy daisy I guess. XD
I'll get to doing that shortly. That way you guys can read my fursona's origin story in PDF form in case you prefer that over reading the text file on FA. Sorry to anyone who may have been waiting for that this whole time. Somehow I didn't think about it.
Have a good one everybody!
Nico
EDIT: THE PDF OF THE STORY HAS BEEN UPLOADED. READ IT HERE: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/44511543/

Catching Up on Favoriting Submissions
Posted 4 years agoHooo boy have I let my Submission Queue fall by the wayside. I've got like 2000+ posts to catch up on. I've been looking but I haven't faved or commented regularly in months.
No time like the present to catch up though!
......RIP my fingers.
Sincerely,
A tired rat mage, Nicodemus
P.S. I'm still working on my next story btw. I haven't stopped.....again. 😅

Progress Update: Once again, I'm still alive.
Posted 4 years agoHi guys,
I haven't said a word or shown much activity on here in several months so I thought I'd update whoever's looking at these again just to let you know, once again, I am in fact still here.
Life's been crazy between my Dad's death in June, going back to school, and various other things in the last few months. However, I wanted to tell you all that I'm finally, even if slowly, working on writing stories again!
I know I said back in April that I'd have TF and vore for the next story and I think that will still hold true, but I've decided to start over from scratch. I'm not very satisfied with how the story was shaping up originally, so I'm trying again from a different angle. Hopefully I'll actually release in a timely fashion this time and not have another few months go by with nothing again (god it's a good thing I just do this for fun). Keep an eye out for that sometime soon and I look forward to you guys reading it!
Take care and have a good one everybody! <3
Your traveling rat mage,
Nicodemus

I'm still here
Posted 4 years agoHi guys. I know I haven't uploaded anything new with stories or journals in months so I thought I'd let anyone who reads these know that I'm still alive.
Things have been a bit hectic with school and my personal life so I haven't made much progress with writing. School is school and my Dad passed away this week so I've been preoccupied lately.
I'll get back to writing as soon as I can but for now it's kind of up in the air. I just wanted to let you all know I'm ok (as much as I can be anyway given my Dad's death). Have a good one and stay safe everybody. Take care of the people you love too. Tomorrow is never a guarantee.

Update: Still Writing
Posted 4 years agoHi guys! Just taking a minute to say that I'm still writing stories. I've been a little quiet on here the last few weeks so I thought I'd let you know I'm still here. I've just been a bit slow in writing my latest story with Nicodemus and friends. I should be done with it relatively soon though. Expect some TF goodness like before of course. And, playing into another kink of mine, I'll be writing vore for the first time with this story! Stay tuned and have a good one guys!
Side note on the story: This next one may get a rating bump up to Mature due to some of the content that takes place. I'm not sure yet. I'm still new to uploading stuff on here so I'm gonna double check upload policies and such to make sure.

A Quick Thank You
Posted 4 years agoHi everybody. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who's read or favorited my stories so far. I'm glad to see that people have found some enjoyment in my goofy furry stories. I'm looking forward to making more in the future!
Quick Side Note About Stories
Posted 4 years agoHi guys! Real quick before I upload my next story today, I wanted to let you guys know that while I'll still upload stories as a plain text file, I might also start making extra posts with the story in a PDF format that I'll upload into my Scraps. I thought it might be nice to leave that option open to those who prefer PDFs over text files. I'll also edit in a link on the text post to make it as easy to find as possible. Hope you guys enjoy the incoming TF story and have a good day!
