Sooo...

I'm https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/spacegourmand/ !

Yeah, it's been a bit of an open secret with my friends. But those hungry aliens? Those are mine. I'm tempted to get rid of that page and just post all the stuff here. What do you think?

And whatcha think of Vurga?

Hey everyone! I have a little announcement to make.

I've been writing vore stuff for about two years now and I think I'm getting the hang of it. I thought a Patreon would be a really cool way to both encourage myself to do more and get feedback from my fans! And the earnings? Aside from the occasional emergency expense, I'll use 'em to get more vore art of my critters, which I'll post right here.

I'll still be posting my stories to FA, but with a bit of a delay. Backers will get to see stories early, vote on monthly stories and will fund new projects with my predators. <3 Help keep an insatiable fox-taur well fed, wouldja?

Hey! Been quiet here recently! I'm gonna be posting (yet more) commissions soon. Both writing from me and art I've gotten from others. I have a few openings if anyone wants a story. :9 I do love writing about awful vorish things! I'm happy to write about most anything, honestly. <3

Sorry I've been so quiet here! Been super active on twitter and the like. https://twitter.com/xionzappa

How are people liking the stories? <,< Been about a year since I started taking story commissions again and hoo boy, it's been fun.

Heh, sorry for the lack of content. All those story commissions? They're going to something BIG. :3 Expect something rather interesting coming soon.

That being said, got room for a holiday story or two. Lemme know if anyone wants a vorish commission. Nothing says 'spirit of the holidays' like getting eaten alive by some awful beastie.

I'm gonna be wrapping up my October double commission special soon! If you want a story done this month, tonight's the last day to get in line. :9 I'll have some new stories coming very soon with a bunch to follow. I hope people have been enjoying the stories so far and if you're curious what I write? The answer is most anything!

Gimme a PM if you want one of the last spots!

Hey everyone! I just posted my tenth story commission. When I started these, I wasn't sure how much of a hit they'd be, but they've turned out to be all sorts of fun to do. Thank you everyone who's shown interest, either commissioning or just reading them.

So, this October, I want to have a bit of fun. I've been doing one story a week. I'm going to try my hand at...two stories a week! Two voracious tales every week, meaning wait time for a commission's going to be much, much lower. It's my own little iron artist and if I can get enough business, maybe I'll buy something fun and voracious with the proceeds.

Give me a PM if you're interested. The queue's short right now and the turnaround time's fast. I'm glad to write about most any vorish type or topic. Trying new things excites me!

Sorry for no story this week. Private commission for a friend. If I may ask, how are people enjoying the weekly stories? They've been fun as hell to write. It's forced me to try and change up my style to keep things interesting. Describe things different each time. I've enjoyed writing the plots as much as the vore. I'm just curious how people like the story aspect of them. Too much build up? I feel like it helps people care about the chars, so it means more when they get ate all up.

Also, still open for commissions. Now that I'm pumping them out so quick, the wait's gonna be much shorter. :3 Eager to write up some big, bad predators doing big bad things. Lemme know if you want a story!

I've seen these things floating around, so I decided to set myself up a Ko-Fi! https://ko-fi.com/thevox Now I don't expect much (or anything), but for everyone who's enjoyed this latest surge of art, I promise that my ko-fi earnings will go right toward funding more commissions of wonderful, awful eaty things! After all, the loud jingling of coins tends to attract hungry things.

Other than that, expect more stories and art soon. Good things are in the works! ...Well, good things for my predators. Bad things for anything nearby. :9

I've decided that I absolutely need to join these Twittering shenanigans. Seems like a lot of fun to be had. A warning though. Don't expect much talk about politics, gaming or drama/callouts. Its pretty much 100% gonna be predatory teasing, vorish swooning and 'why can't the Fern Gully gonna be real'. Interested? Follow me at www.twitter.com/xionzappa

No, seriously. No sarcasm, no callouts, no drama. Yeah, the furry community can be a dumpster fire sometimes, but when it shines, it shines.

I used to really want to be the 'popufur' on the block (and I do like to hope that people enjoy the stuff I get), but I used to think that all that mattered was having a bigger, shinier collection than the next guy. Not going to lie, sometimes I still get anxiety when I see someone else with something great. Makes me wish I was the one with the shiny new animation or the twelve page comic.

But as I've gone on, I've really started to take notice of all my friends around. I mean, I used to think that 'furry friends' were pretty much just fetish buddies. We whack off to the same stuff, no deeper connection. Except sometimes there is! Sure, we have a shared hobby, but that link's grown a deeper connection.

I had a moment recently. I sort of took stock of where I was. I used to worry. I used to think that the weird, dark stuff I like would always bite me in the end (and not in the good way). But I realized I'm feeling good. My friends like having me around. When I go into chats, plenty of people greet my chars with enthusiasm.

I know some people may not like what I like. But enough do. And some that don't have looked around my kink and found a normal person at the other end. I just want to thank my friends in this community. I'm not just writing again, but it doesn't feel like some chore just so people will notice me. I want to create. I want my friends to enjoy it.

Woohoo! Halfway done my current commission queue. I hope the stories have been fun so far! I hate the process of writing but enjoy the finished result! It's nice to create again, to add my own bit of gluttony to this lovely community. But there's more. The proceeds from all these stories are getting put to use. There miiiiight be a slightly secret project in the works. Very hush hush.

Anyway, looks like I have three stories after the one I'm working on. Shadow, Kizna and Jit! As usual, if anyone wants a commission, lemme know. I'm having a ton of fun doing these.

Now onto the question. What are some good vore plotlines that you wish you saw more? Everyone's seen the grab and gulp. A meets B, A catches B, A eats B, A is full. What are the scenarios and twists on the theme that just don't get enough love? Mine is romance. Maybe the prey falling absolutely in love with the predator, the pair exploring each other's bodies...but when the prey goes in for a kiss, it's far deeper than they thought and too late to get out. Or a personal favorite, a pair of prey lovers having a romantic encounter and a predator happening along them. The lovers soon gobbles together and forced into a tight embrace, smooshed possessively together in all that warmth. Together forever, whether they want to be or not. The predator lazily belching up a little heart as they churn up and become one as belly.

But that's just me. What voracious situations do you wish were more commonplace?

So I've been chugging away at my commissions. Very fun, very nice. Now to keep myself motivated and to pick up ideas, I like to read some other vore stories. After all, kind of weird to write it and not read it, yeah? Thing is, I noticed a pattern in written vore that keeps popping up, something that stops me from truly enjoying the stories. I guess I'm curious if it's just me.

Now first off, I think to write a good story you have to understand the audience. So let's look at the vore community. I'm pretty sure we can agree that in general, things tilt toward the 'prey' side of things. Prey are definitely more common. Hell, I used to be one when I first joined up. I just got more scenes as a pred and said screw it. But in general, most of the audience of the vore community, if not exclusively prey, are at least going to enjoy the mindset of it at least as much as the predator side.

But that's the thing. In so many stories I read, the prey stops having emotions halfway through the story. By that I mean once a prey is ingested, most vore writers only elaborate on their struggles or what the predator's body does to them. There's no more point of view, no more emotions, there's no connection to them once they're down the hatch. That seems so wrong to me. Like, that's when you want to know just what the prey's thinking. You've been ate! You're surrounded by squishy softness and a predator taunting you on the other side of blubber. It's the final moments of the fantasy and so many writers just...leave prey hanging. They'll mention they wiggle and squirm...but what's ol' Fred the mouse thinking, feeling or experiencing in there?

It's just something that gets me. When so many people have prey fantasies, it seems like writers cut off the prey experience at the climax of the story. You don't get to be put in the mind of the prey char that...well, let's face it, most people are pretending to be in the shoes of. So it's something I try hard to avoid. I want to put my readers in the viewpoint of the prey until there is no longer a prey to have a viewpoint at all. I will write as the wiggly bulge until it's no longer there.

Just a thought. I'm trying to become a better writer and that's one mistake I've been trying not to make. Anyway, got more stories on the way. If anyone wants one, lemme know!

I've been jealous recently. Just jealous of the awesome stuff that a lot of people in the vore community have been able to create. It's one reason I get so many commissions (though there's been a lull in that recently). So, I've decided I'm going to write again. Won't give away the details, but I'm gonna start off with a simple (but fun) story, probably staring Bags. Setting a deadline of the end of March for myself. I will have it done by then.

Is raccoon vore good, or do people want to see someone else? Montague? Vox? Someone else?

Hey everyone! Guess where I am. The beach! Oh yes. Sunning myself, enjoying the salty breeze and lovingly gobbling up every sweet little tourist and local that looks appetizing. Everyone deserves a permanent vacation in the warm, wonderful taur/owl tummy. And no one ever seems to want to leave when they're settled in.

Teasing aside, I've noticed something about myself. My confidence isn't very strong. Whenever I see someone with an awesome pic or comic, I immediately feel lesser. I have these moments of self loathing because I cannot create things like that. But as of late, I've been wanting to create and shine too. I know two ways to do this. Commissioning art (which I love doing) and writing. I guess My question is, do people enjoy my writing as more than just a supplement to my pictures? Do people want to see more? And if so. Who or what would people like to see? I have ideas of my own, but they're minor and vague. Right now, I just want to know if it's worth pursuing. Or are the commissions the real hit? The more I know, the better I can do!

Heh, looks like some spambot got into the ol' skype account. Sorry for those random links. Fortunately, it looks like no one was silly enough to click 'em.

Today's one of those days when I wish I had a more 'central' character. I look at all these artists around with their 'signature' char and just want one of my own. Now, my big frontrunner is Ploro. Started off as a preything, became something I really liked and I turned it into a predator that was sort of personal. But I'm not always fond of how small they are (and their toony nature makes it hard for some artists to draw them). Sometimes I want something more overtly big and dominant. What do people think? Who should be the 'mascot'?

I try not to pass the donation plate around much. I'll link to an artist or a game that might need some funds, but in general, I think I'm pretty quiet on the donation requests front. I'm gonna have to break that today. Please don't close out just yet, give it a quick read first. This isn't for me.

 rockk Was one of my first vorish crushes when I started going from a little lurker and bad writer to a commission buyer (where a good 80% of my watches come from, I'm sure). His toony style and attitude influenced my own likes and creations in a big way. What's more, he introduced me to Nickwolf who you have to thank for a vast majority of my recent pics. Now Rockk's busy with the medical field but I try to talk to him when I can, even though I worry I come across as a creepy stalker more often than not (I will get a pic from him one of these days, you'll see, you'll all see). He's just a general fun, good guy and I love pestering him.

I found out today that Rockk's got a bit of tragedy in his life. Someone who he cares about a lot got hit by a car and is in critical condition. This person works at a veterinarian's office, so for a community as fond of animals as we are, that's something special. What's more, he knows and accepts the fact that Rockk is a furry. A vet's assistant who likes furries and is a good friend of Rockk, someone I'm going to wager that most of us are fond of. I'd like to hope we can help them out.

The furry community can be very divisive and wrapped up in petty, stupid drama, but when we come together, we can be a force of support and care like nothing else. I think it'd be really cool to see us help save a life. If you're in a position where you can donate something, anything, please consider doing so. It'd mean a lot to both me and Rockk and you'd be helping someone who seems like a really good person. If you can help, thank you so much.

Also, if you do donate, consider doing so with your furry name and species. Rockk thinks it'll send a cool message.

I know, a plug journal, bear with me. I'm a big fan of fighting games (despite my lack of skill at them), especially good 2D fighters. Now, a while back, there was a MLP fan game in the works, called 'Fighting is Magic'. It got a cease and desist, but instead of just dropping the project, they turned the MLP story into an original universe. Honestly, that cease and desist was to the game's favor, as it's turned from a fan project into a solid game with shockingly good animation. It's become 'Thems Fightin' Herds'.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=57&.....;v=-2PhpyZBjao

Check it out. Two things really catch my eye in this video. First off, the fluid animation. That tumble animation is absolutely fantastic. Second, the music. Aside from it being good, it's dynamic. You have character themes, but as the fight goes on, depending on who's winning, it changes. If the character with the theme is winning it gets more intense, but if the challenger is winning, the theme shifts toward them. In the video, it's Arizona's theme, but when Velvet, the reindeer starts winning, notice the slaybells and winter-y feel it gets. That's gonna make fights really exciting and dynamic. Comebacks and upsets are going to be marked by music.

And

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/.....-fightin-herds

Here's the project. Toss it some cash if you can and feel like it's worth it. Just thought I'd spread the word.

I don't know what it is, but I've just been so...eat-y this last week. I mean, yeah, I know that I'm 'always' gluttonous, but I've just been packing people in the taur gut. For keeps, too.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13750967/ Haer? Gone.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1353634/ Aethian? Digested.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2839530/ Pad? A feathery belch.

I mean, they were all friends and stuff, but good friends should know how important it is for taurs to stay sated. Please direct any future interactions with them to my midsection. :9 Visits and reunions are available.

I'm looking to get a new char drawn, one that's the closest thing to a 'fursonna' I have. Anyone know any good toony artists who take quick commissions? It's of a male stoat, so a toony weasel-thing!

Guh, I've been on such a predatory kick lately. It's got me thinking. What if vore were real? What if I could become one of my predators? I don't know if I'd be mean enough to actually digest souls, but I think I'd totally gobble people and trap souls in my belly fat. You wouldn't be gone, but you'd never, ever come out.

So on the other side, who would take the plunge? Who'd want to snackrifice themselves to one of my big, hungry predators? Who'd want to spend eternity on a soft, warm, swaying belly or hips? And for that matter, any predator in particular you could see yourself adding to?

Just curious how occupied I'd be in an ideal world. Provided I'm a 'nice' pred and ask before gobbling.

It's been a while since I wrote a proper story, but I've found myself a little jealous of what everyone else is producing. I'd like to give people something to squirm about as well. However, I have a question. I could write a traditional story starring one of my chars and an innocent prey and let nature take its course...or...

I could make an interactive adventure. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15857238/ Jit recently made a playable version of his fair character that is just fantastic. However, I also have a very similar character which Jit helped me make. It's called Voxland and is a theme-park themed adventure that stars all of my predatory characters!

Would people be interested in such an interactive adventure, or should I put out a more traditional story?

Uh...hi! Gonna be honest, didn't see this coming. Just finished up the commission dump, glanced down at the numbers...and saw a really big one.

725. 725! That's a lot of people watching me! That's, like, enough to form a mob! That's enough to lift very heavy objects! That's enough to fill a proper one-horse town!

Just wanted to thank people for watching me. Hope ya'll enjoyed that latest commission dump! Now I feel obligated to get more...

So, any favorites? Anything people wanna see?

My friend  azurathefox is doing commissions. He's sort of become a really good artist really fast. I have more then a few pics by him. Anyway, go check him out!
