Guess who's finally got their PC up and running?

To make things brief, I'm finally back, and will be updating my library here with the stories I've been posting on my Ao3!

Missed you guys. Here's hoping I'm here to stay!

Take care.

Heyyyy guys. Long time no see. Three months, in fact! Time flies when you're...Moving into a new place.

But unfortunately, I come bearing some sad news: For the foreseeable future, I won't be posting new stories here on Furaffinity.

Due to having moved to a new, cramped, and frankly unstable place, I don't have space to hook up my PC. This means I won't be able to make custom thumbnails, and thus, can't in good faith post my stories here without them all having bland, default thumbnails. :(

But, all is not lost! The silver lining is that I'll still be posting stories on Ao3, which thankfully doesn't require an account, or thumbnails!

Matter of fact...My newest story, Rat Bastard is there now! https://archiveofourown.org/works/59704816

Please, I implore you, if you love reading my stories, and want to stay up to date on what I write, or how I'm doing, check me out on my Ao3, or even my Twitter, TobyTheHoundAO3!

It's with a heavy heart that I have to deliver these unfortunate news, and I only pray that you guys will forgive me and my situation. If there's enough demand for it, I can try to post my stories here...But something tells me you guys understand how important thumbnails can help a story stand out...

I'm sorry it has to be like this, but with only a phone, I'm doing everything I can. :'c

Until next time,
TobyTheHound

Hey guys and gals(?).

Glad to see you guys are enjoying A Plains Purpose as of late. I'm glad to try a different kind of species, a couple new kinks/themes, and all that jazz.

Now, for the reason why I'm making this. I'm thinking about moving soon, which may take a bit of time and focus away from writing (and general quality of life, lmao). I know you guys are probably used to me taking a while to make stories, and who knows, maybe this won't limit my writing flow at all.

But I'd rather make a post about it than not, so if I need to take a few days/a week to have a mental breakdown, I can afford to. Not that I'm expecting that, it's just...Bleh, it's a mix of moving and family matters.

But all in all, I just want to say that writing may be put on the back burner for a bit. I may still do it in a hobby sense, to get my mind off of things, but at the same time...Some other things need my attention and thought right now.

Thank you all for understanding. Don't forget to follow my twitter/X account which is linked to this profile, if you want to keep some feelers out for how I'm doing.

Hey all!

I've recently been in the mood to get back on Twitter for a while, and I decided that while I'm returning to it, I might as well make a Twitter account for my writing!

For those of you that use the formerly-blue-bird app, feel free to follow me there, where I'll be reposting my current stories, and posting about new ones as they come out! (One should hopefully be coming soon!)

Wow, thank you all for watching my progress and evolution of story writing! Honestly, it means a lot that you guys care about my stories, and makes me smile and feel fulfilled to see any and all compliments you guys send my way!

If I'm being honest, while this is an amazing sign that what I do is enjoyed by many, I feel sorry that I've only posted a dozen stories in the past year or two. Every time I check out some other stories, I can't help but check out that writer and see them with 2k+ watchers/followers, and their productivity looking downright impossible compared to my writing experience. Maybe my workflow needs work, or maybe I just don't write as optimally as I should...I have no clue.

But enough of that! I was actually thinking about doing a raffle for a something like this, and that was actually how I found out that I reached 50 watchers- Maybe a winner or two could get a free 'commission' from me, so I can see how I do under pressure/with fresh, new ideas. That way, if it's too much, at least it was a one-time thing, and it's not like I have a fiscal obligation to deliver in any strict amount of time. Stay tuned for that, I suppose!

All in all, thank you guys and gals for watching my stories, and sticking with me through my damn-near-stagnant posting schedule. Every comment means the world to me, and your support is what keeps me going. Thank you.

I'm not entirely used to the way that art commissions and purchasing of such things yet, but I was wondering if there's any particular way I should go about looking for someone to make art of my stories? Keywords to look for, certain people to take a look at, things like that. And of course, if you're an artist and like my stories, we can most certainly negotiate something between us! Perhaps an art trade?

I was originally gonna look this up, but it feels so specific that I figured I might as well just ask here. :P

Thanks for reading!

Hey guys...So uhh...How've you been?

Alright, I know it's been a while since I've posted here, and no, it's not because I've been in a writer's slump or not been writing, cause I have been writing. Truth be told, I've been posting all of my stories, old and new, over on my Ao3 profile, where I've been getting a LOT of viewership and praise! But yeah, I just felt a sense of dread whenever I tried to bring myself to posting my stories here as well. I hate making thumbnails for these damn things, and the tagging is questionable, since there's no autofill and I'm still not entirely sure how the tagging system works here. Not that I'm any good at tagging stuff in general, but that's besides the point-

But I'm here to say I'm sorry for leaving you guys in the dark. I should've made an announcement that I've moved platforms, or at least kept posting my stories as they came out. I'm gonna be posting a few stories over the next night or two, to catch you guys up, and try my best to keep both platforms up to date and happy.

If you guys are curious, or prefer reading smut on Ao3, here's my profile on there: https://archiveofourown.org/users/TobyTheHound

But yeah, I'm here for a while, and I'm gonna be posting new content. Get your scrolling finger(s) ready!

Cheers!

Hey guys! Got a quick question before I get started/dedicated to my next story.

Should I start making stories with normal males and females only?

I feel like I'm losing a lot of accessibility and viewership of my stories because of my insistence of making Toby a cuntboy/andromorph, and part of me feels like I should either write some future stories to just include male Toby, or perhaps rewrite previous stories and release male versions of what already exists.

I figured the best people to ask are the ones who already read my stories, and any new visitors that might see this journal! Feedback would be greatly appreciated, and I hope you guys have a great evening!

Heya, sorry about my absense!

I've been trying to focus on writing a story in time to make it this month, but given how it doesn't have a title, and I suck at coming up with titles..Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to post it in January. Sorry to keep you guys out of the loop, though!

Why did I want to post it in January, specifically? Well, it's now the year of the rabbit, and the story I'm working on (which I started in December, by the way!) is based around rabbits! I'm sure you're already thinking about all the ways Toby and rabbits mix, but hang on a little while longer, and you'll see it with your own eyes soon enough~ Hmm, I wonder if anyone uses a reader to 'hear' my stories...

But yeah, just wanted to give a little update on how the writing's going, since I haven't posted since...Halloween (Jesus Christ, yeah, I'm sorry!).

Drink plenty of water, and have a good one!

I've come up with two ideas for stories, and they both have the same general 'spooky' premise! ;)

Part of me wants to save at least one of them till Halloween time, but the other just wants to post them as they get done so they're out there and I don't forget to post them.

I feel like I shouldn't try to revolve my stories around holidays, since that puts me on an unending time crunch on what's supposed to be a hobby... So maybe only an occasional thing?

We'll see how I feel when I complete at least one of these bad boys! Hope you have a good morning, afternoon, or evening!

Hey all! Writer here.

I'm not really sure where to go next for my next story. I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure which one to write, and if I'll be able to complete any of them.

I've also thought about holding a raffle, where the winner gets to pitch an idea for a story for me to write? But I could see how that might be a bit too much pressure for me to write and finish in a timely manner.

Ah well, I'm sure I'll figure out something. I'm glad to see that my latest story, Pest Control is doing well! Didn't even know if people would like that one, so seeing it rival my first story in terms of favorites is surprising! Thank you all, every favorite means the world to me. <3
