Nick Gets Fucked - Part 3A is out
Posted 5 months agoHello! I'm whipping out the capitals and punctuation in a journal because this one is actually kind of important to me.
Nick Gets Fucked - Part 3A is out.
It took a very long road to get here, including the greatest creative challenge I have EVER faced (and hope to face), but that's in the past now. This journal is here to talk about the future.
If you've read 3A already, you'll know that it doesn't exactly provide a... conclusion. In fact, it very much does the opposite. There's some worldbuilding, a pawful of new characters introduced, and Nick gets assigned a new role at the mansion. Safe to say, the story of Nick and Thaddeus is not finished. I'll just say that at time of typing this journal I have roughly 8k words of 'brief planning scribbles' accrued for the future.
So yes, this story arc will continue.
But.
You can't build a mansion on a shaky foundation. Listen- I know people like it, they keep favoriting it, but NGF1 is my worst story. I still love the themes and scenario, that won't be changing, but god it needs a rewrite, so I'm going to do that. Part 2A also has sections that I want to tweak, so I'm unsure if that will get a full rewrite or only a partial.
3A is fine as is, but this version that I've just published is like... the version that I had the idea for before I had the idea for all the future stuff. It serves the purpose of completing a quick force-fem fantasy, but there are some gentle tweaks that can be made to make it a much stronger starting point for this sudden breach into the wider world of everything within the mansion's walls.
I'll also start crossposting to AO3. I've mentioned before how much that scares me, but I really want to start taking this story more seriously. Hence why the rewrites will also be dropping the "A".
I'm not saying I'm abandoning the branching thing, that may still happen if I get the right kinds of inspiration, but this new stuff *is* Nick Gets Fucked now. When I think of NGF, I think of the entertainments division, and I have for a long time now. This is no longer one branch of many, the former "A" branch is now the main timeline. Everything else can just be... alternate universes.
But anyway, back to taking it seriously. If you've read 3A already, you'll have noticed some (hopefully) intense themes and tonal shifts. Hopefully, you felt bad for Nick at parts, but still masturbated to his suffering when I made it really hot. That will continue into Part 4 and beyond. The sad, gut-wrenching parts will get sadder, and the sex scenes and scenarios will get hotter.
I have a story I want to tell. I have emotions I want to impart. I have characters I want you to love and hate. I think the ending I've already planned is really fun.
This is by no means a pledge that updates will be more frequent, or that the things I've mentioned are coming anytime soon - because the last time I pledged that it didn't go great. Seriously, go read the author's note at the top of 2A, it's hilarious in retrospect. To be honest, once this has gone up, I'll probably want a break where I try not to even think about Nick Gets fucked for a while. It's been on my mind for like 5 years now, so yeah.
I really hope you enjoyed, and will enjoy. It's been absolute anguish to work on at times and it's been an absolute pleasure to go through that anguish.
Stay sadistic,
Yoyo.

random musings about my style and influences
Posted 5 months agolemme see if i can put my feelings about this into words:
i have always been a very "visual" writer. i've been told that my style is good at evoking imagery, which is what i aim for.
and that comes down to process, i think. my process is very simple.
i imagine a scene. but like an audiovisual scene, like from a movie or tv show. then i describe it.
i really don't think of "words creating worlds". i've already created the world, and my hope is that through my description of it, you'll imagine a similar enough one.
so that begs the question:
would i prefer to be making audiovisual media, instead of literature?
i think the answer is yes, but theres a but.
AV art is much more Difficult to make than writing. and i don't mean that in a Woe Is Me So Tricky :( way
i mean like a large number of other people and money have to be involved
for the level of control i want i'd need to have like an edgar wright level of respect lmao. which i'm not getting.
otherwise there'd have to be constant compromises.
anyway guess which medium i can do solo and with 0 compromise :P
i have fucked around with writing screenplay style in past
(in fact something in a pseudo-screenplay style will probably get released one day)
but even that compromises. i like the wholeness of traditional prose.
i get to choose what to describe and when
so yeah imma stick with writing. and don't even @ me about animation, y'all are wizards and i will never stop being terrified of your medium.
anyway i just wanna take some time to recognise some of the influences i can identify on myself. these aren't exactly shoutouts because all but one are extremely famous and the other one is still very famous but also i think they're all worth checking out.
edgar wright - as mentioned above. i'll never reach the absolute pace of his storytelling with only prose, you need more than that to cram in the level of information that he does, but man i do idolise him lol
derek landy - the one you might not have heard of. author of my favorite book series. the dialogue is super natural, really rapid. vaguely self-aware narration. super visual. incredible fight scenes, if i ever publish anything with a lot of fight scenes you'll definitely smell him on it lmao
roald dahl and jk rowling - lumped together because Yeah I Know. but a) i was raised on them and b) i genuinely think too many people overlook the power of a child-friendly writing style. not that i want any children to read my work, but it's the classic annoying gotcha thing of "if you can't explain a concept in a way a 5 year old would understand, you don't understand it either", bullshit, but a good philosophy
charles dickens - okay i've literally only read a christmas carol but that shit slaps. the narration is so aware of what's important, even despite the paid-by-the-word thing. "marley was dead: to begin with." are you kidding me???? literally gold
william shakespeare - LISTEN SHUT UP OKAY i'm not pretentious enough to say that i feel the influence of a guy who earned the name just The Bard, i just wanna preach about something. you gotta let yourself break the rules. combine words. use words in unique contexts. if there's a grammar rule you don't like, just ignore it. i promise it'll make writing Feel so much better. (though PLEASE PLEASE know the rules before you break them istg)
also sidenote if you've never dabbled in shakespeare because you're intimidated or you think you won't understand DON'T BE he's literally so good. the ones they teach in school are great, romeo and juliet and macbeth. i really recommend just the original text of macbeth but baz luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet (1996) for a modern adaptation that uses the original script

soapboxing too long for bluesky
Posted 7 months agothis was originally gonna be a skeet thread but it got too long
so my question got answered at the FA townhall and thus i wanna talk about it
people who were following me on bsky in the latter half of last year know that i was a big and rather angry advocate for FA recruiting a communications officer
here is the answer to my question about that:
https://youtu.be/zfynMkqDJGw?si=ZPH.....Ti9&t=3775
obviously the most satisfying answer for me would've been "yes, we're working on it" but i knew that was never gonna be the answer :P. this answer boils down to: "we've thought about it before but haven't ever committed to anything - also it'd be too expensive"
sciggs didn't actually *say* the too expensive part but cmon, its FA, i knew it would always be too expensive from the moment i first suggested it. but its the "been looked into before" part that i think is worth discussing.
potentially radically, i think any decision made before the 2024 staff exodus needs to be disregarded as long as it isn't a line of code written into the website. neer ran the site like, apologies, a madman, trying to do too much himself. he's dead. the site no longer needs to be run like a madman
and then a couple months after neer died, the MAJORITY of the core staff left the site in a hissy fit that, as far as i can tell, at it's core was about somebody (sciggles) coming in and saying the way you guys have been running things is fucked up.
so can we trust any decisions made by a stubborn leader and a team who repeatedly investigated themselves and found that they'd done nothing wrong? cmon.
now, i got the vibe from sciggles' tone in this answer that the communications officer suggestion HAS been considered since the 2024 exodus but has been deemed not necessary enough to carve out the budget for. i agree. communications have been a LOT better...
...for now.
the second shit hits the fan again? we'll just have to see. i think there *will* come disagreements about how the site is run considering FA is an american based and hosted company and the track record of trump administrations so far, and whether those disagreements end up with an angry mod leaping into discord and accidently declaring that life begins at conception (if you weren't there for the 2024 2.7 discourse don't even ask) will be the real test of if new-FA needs a communications officer.
obviously, prevention is better than cure, but yeah i don't see a world where sciggles deems that worth it. which i do percieve as a character flaw, but what can you do - i formed very strong opinions on her during the 2024 2.7 fiasco that haven't all been eroded yet (:
tldr: do i still think hiring a communications officer is the best idea? yes. do i think that's going to happen? no.

new thing, and new things coming
Posted 8 months agohello friendos
i'm posting this journal a couple of minutes after posting my latest story, part 2 of a commission that was meant to only be 1 part, of which the first part went up (almost) exactly 7 months ago.
safe to say, i kinda messed up on that one.
but if you've been following me closely, you'll know why my writing wasn't in the best place in the latter half of 2024. so yeah, that took me 7 months to write. thanks for the commissioner for being one of the chillest people i know lmao.
when i published part 1 of that, i told myself "alright, this needs to get done, so i'm not gonna allow myself to post anything until i've posted this."
however inspiration does whatever inspiration does so uhhhhhh, i've got some more shit to post after this lol. no guarantees on when specifically any of it goes up, but we've got:
- three OE catalogue entries
- OE part 3.4
- OE part 3, subparts reconciled into one, as i said i'd do
- its not actually finished yet but i've got an OE supplemental WIP (kinda like giving heads) that chronologically fits between parts 3 and 4, so getting that done and out would be nice
- OE part 4
- OE part 5
- NGF part 3a
yep, you heard that right. i finished the next ngf. again, if you've been following me closely, you'll know why that's significant. as of typing this, i still have a FUCKTON of editing to do (it's very long!), so that will probably be the last to go up, but i'm very excited for you to see it. i'll write another journal about the future of that series when it goes up, because it's... interesting.
anyway, a couple more updates:
i have made 0 progress on the website. sorry. have been pretty depressed, haven't found the drive to sit down and make it.
but, i'm going to confuzzled! my first furry con :3
shoot me a message if i'm gonna see you there :)
so yeah. hope you enjoy something lol
see you soon!

year in review pt 2
Posted 10 months agoWow so that was a shit one.
I definitely have less to reflect on creatively this year, but I'm bored in a holiday house with family, so I thought I'd do another of these.
So my first release of the year, apart from a couple of OE entries, was the NGF Valentine's Special. I started writing that while bored in an airport on the 26th of January, so I knew at the time that it was quite a risk to get it out on time, but I had a lot of inspiration for it so I went for it. What I didn't anticipate was having an intensely bad reaction to treatment for genital warts on my anus. I cringe every time I write that, because I know every time that there's someone reading that wasn't expecting to read that, but hey welcome to the past 10 months of my life - and probably a couple more, I'm still not healed yet.
But anyway, I don't know how I did it. That first month after the reaction was so incredibly painful, that I think forcing myself to finish the special was one of the only ways I kept myself sane. Just glad nobody told me how long it would take for me to get treatment that actually worked.
I was very satisfied with that special. Thaddeus Lionheart is a character I've spent a LOT of time thinking and scribbling about, so it was good to force myself to write a side of him that wouldn't normally get to be expressed. He takes a bit more of a backseat in 3A, but you definitely haven't seen the last of him :3
A bit before v-day, I was propositioned for a trade - a YCH that I'd expressed interest in, in return for one of the in-progress commissions I had to refund in October last year. I was hesitant because I'd never done a trade before, but I dusted off this half-finished story from four months prior and got to work on it, and that became Meet me in the Meeting Room. It was fun! It's not my favorite of my stories, but it's pretty good. However that rekindled my interest in Rocket and Blackjack, and I had already drafted a sequel before I'd finished the first one.
At the time of MMitMR's release, I was still pretty hopeful about the whole "sorted in a couple of months" thing with my health, a feeling that would grow old very quickly. There was no chance I could go to work traditionally - any amount of sweating immediately put me at risk of infection and sitting at a desk for any length of time was uncomfortable - and I wasn't really feeling up to commissions so as mentioned in a previous journal I've been able to survive just fine, but not earning anything :/
Then May came around and I apparently had a huge burst of inspiration. Actually, I think I wrote half the stuff I released in May in April, but eh. First was the narrative continuation of Occam's Emporium. God, I love that series. Even if 50 of you came and commented tomorrow that you hate it and don't give a shit about it, I'd still write it. The release of Part 2 was again on a deadline, I'd decided that I'd do it on the anniversary of the release of the first one (which I also decided would be Occam's canonical birthday, he's a taurus like me :3), but I had no problems getting that done on time, I had Part 3 already written and ready to go before releasing Part 2!
The next narrative entry for that (Part 3.4) is also already written right now, and I'm most of the way through Part 4, but they've been pushed aside for reasons I'll get to.
Only a few days after publishing OE Part 3, I published Rock, Paper, Scissors, Pie! In a similar way to MMitMR, half of this one had been written last year and abandoned, and then I randomly got hit with the inspiration to dust it off and write the other half. This was a big one for me, as not only was it the first written introduction of Loop, my second sona, but also my first published story involving WAM, which is my favorite and oldest kink. I always say this, but go and give it a try even if you're not interested in WAM. The focus of the story is an introduction to the kink, largely from Loop's perspective - so it gets into the interesting and unexpected and most exciting parts of the play that goes down in there. Also, there's a couple more WAM stories and a couple more Loop stories in the WIPs folder, so I wanna build my audience for them lmao.
Occam's Part 3 called for a bit of audience participation, and I was very happy with what I got from that, thank you again to everyone who contributed! The nature of the series has always had the reader at heart, not only from the second-person perspective, but to the onus on the reader to explore the catalogue themselves and read up on the entries that then get referenced later on.
If you're looking at my gallery as you read this, you're probably curious about what happens after what comes next. At the end of June I took a commission from my most regular - a story that takes place over a weekend. Now, I've always known I suck at stories that take place over a long period of time - stuff that isn't just a group of immediately sequential scenes breaks my brain for some reason. I wasn't aware that it was so bad that trying to summarize a *weekend* into one story was too much.
So I got halfway through, to the end of the first day and had already overrun and hit the wordcount that they'd paid for. Again; brain broken. So, I wouldn't have done this with anyone else, but the commissioner is a good friend, so I proposed the idea of releasing in two halves, and they were down for it. Now, they never let me apologise properly in messages, but they stay anon for their comms so I know they're not gonna reply to this journal so I'll say it here: I'm so sorry it's taken so long to get Part 2 out. I know we both know it'll be done eventually, but it was shitty of me to commit to doing it this way when I've failed to deliver.
I do know why it's taken so long, though. Why everything else dried up at the same time. The fatigue from the ass problems hit. In early June, I was finally referred for surgery to remove the warts. In mid-July, I was finally assessed for said surgery. The estimated waiting time was 12 weeks. The maximum waiting time is 18 weeks. I had my surgery 19 weeks after referral, in late October. That period was so painful, exhausting, and draining - both mentally and physically. I easily noticed my usual depression symptoms coming back strong, but there was nothing I could do about it, just gritting my teeth and waiting.
The doctor who did my assessment said that recovery from the surgery would be hellish, probably worse than the pain the warts and damaged skin were giving me. I'm not 100% certain she was right, but it's definitely close. From Feburary to October I was in constant pain - I promise I'm not exaggerating - every waking minute. Since the surgery, it's no longer constant, but it needs constant maintenance and cleaning, the random bouts of pain are super intense, and taking a shit is still fucking agonising and terrifying every time.
But there's nothing I can do except heal. I reckon it's at least a month or two before I'm back to full capacity.
Oh yeah, and during that time FurAffinty decided to completely shit itself because a few people didn't like our community of people who like shitting themselves. I don't really have any more comments on that since it died down (although still waiting on that updated policy!), but I will say that that day where a whole bunch of people including Chase and Luffy resigned was a very fun, vindicating day for me.
So pt.2 of that commission will definitely be posted on FA, just for completeness sake. Whether or not I continue posting future stories on FA will depend on how that updated policy comes out, but it looks optimistic for now. But there will be a website coming soon. As soon as I have the energy to construct it.
And I guess that brings me to now. Right now I'm spending the week surrounding Christmas in Wales with family, so there won't be any uploads just now lol, but I did get a good chunk of progress on that comm done last night. Maybe I can squeeze the rest of that out while here. Maybe.
Anyway, to the future and all that.
Yoyo

I was very satisfied with that special. Thaddeus Lionheart is a character I've spent a LOT of time thinking and scribbling about, so it was good to force myself to write a side of him that wouldn't normally get to be expressed. He takes a bit more of a backseat in 3A, but you definitely haven't seen the last of him :3
A bit before v-day, I was propositioned for a trade - a YCH that I'd expressed interest in, in return for one of the in-progress commissions I had to refund in October last year. I was hesitant because I'd never done a trade before, but I dusted off this half-finished story from four months prior and got to work on it, and that became Meet me in the Meeting Room. It was fun! It's not my favorite of my stories, but it's pretty good. However that rekindled my interest in Rocket and Blackjack, and I had already drafted a sequel before I'd finished the first one.
At the time of MMitMR's release, I was still pretty hopeful about the whole "sorted in a couple of months" thing with my health, a feeling that would grow old very quickly. There was no chance I could go to work traditionally - any amount of sweating immediately put me at risk of infection and sitting at a desk for any length of time was uncomfortable - and I wasn't really feeling up to commissions so as mentioned in a previous journal I've been able to survive just fine, but not earning anything :/
Then May came around and I apparently had a huge burst of inspiration. Actually, I think I wrote half the stuff I released in May in April, but eh. First was the narrative continuation of Occam's Emporium. God, I love that series. Even if 50 of you came and commented tomorrow that you hate it and don't give a shit about it, I'd still write it. The release of Part 2 was again on a deadline, I'd decided that I'd do it on the anniversary of the release of the first one (which I also decided would be Occam's canonical birthday, he's a taurus like me :3), but I had no problems getting that done on time, I had Part 3 already written and ready to go before releasing Part 2!
The next narrative entry for that (Part 3.4) is also already written right now, and I'm most of the way through Part 4, but they've been pushed aside for reasons I'll get to.
Only a few days after publishing OE Part 3, I published Rock, Paper, Scissors, Pie! In a similar way to MMitMR, half of this one had been written last year and abandoned, and then I randomly got hit with the inspiration to dust it off and write the other half. This was a big one for me, as not only was it the first written introduction of Loop, my second sona, but also my first published story involving WAM, which is my favorite and oldest kink. I always say this, but go and give it a try even if you're not interested in WAM. The focus of the story is an introduction to the kink, largely from Loop's perspective - so it gets into the interesting and unexpected and most exciting parts of the play that goes down in there. Also, there's a couple more WAM stories and a couple more Loop stories in the WIPs folder, so I wanna build my audience for them lmao.
Occam's Part 3 called for a bit of audience participation, and I was very happy with what I got from that, thank you again to everyone who contributed! The nature of the series has always had the reader at heart, not only from the second-person perspective, but to the onus on the reader to explore the catalogue themselves and read up on the entries that then get referenced later on.
If you're looking at my gallery as you read this, you're probably curious about what happens after what comes next. At the end of June I took a commission from my most regular - a story that takes place over a weekend. Now, I've always known I suck at stories that take place over a long period of time - stuff that isn't just a group of immediately sequential scenes breaks my brain for some reason. I wasn't aware that it was so bad that trying to summarize a *weekend* into one story was too much.
So I got halfway through, to the end of the first day and had already overrun and hit the wordcount that they'd paid for. Again; brain broken. So, I wouldn't have done this with anyone else, but the commissioner is a good friend, so I proposed the idea of releasing in two halves, and they were down for it. Now, they never let me apologise properly in messages, but they stay anon for their comms so I know they're not gonna reply to this journal so I'll say it here: I'm so sorry it's taken so long to get Part 2 out. I know we both know it'll be done eventually, but it was shitty of me to commit to doing it this way when I've failed to deliver.
I do know why it's taken so long, though. Why everything else dried up at the same time. The fatigue from the ass problems hit. In early June, I was finally referred for surgery to remove the warts. In mid-July, I was finally assessed for said surgery. The estimated waiting time was 12 weeks. The maximum waiting time is 18 weeks. I had my surgery 19 weeks after referral, in late October. That period was so painful, exhausting, and draining - both mentally and physically. I easily noticed my usual depression symptoms coming back strong, but there was nothing I could do about it, just gritting my teeth and waiting.
The doctor who did my assessment said that recovery from the surgery would be hellish, probably worse than the pain the warts and damaged skin were giving me. I'm not 100% certain she was right, but it's definitely close. From Feburary to October I was in constant pain - I promise I'm not exaggerating - every waking minute. Since the surgery, it's no longer constant, but it needs constant maintenance and cleaning, the random bouts of pain are super intense, and taking a shit is still fucking agonising and terrifying every time.
But there's nothing I can do except heal. I reckon it's at least a month or two before I'm back to full capacity.
Oh yeah, and during that time FurAffinty decided to completely shit itself because a few people didn't like our community of people who like shitting themselves. I don't really have any more comments on that since it died down (although still waiting on that updated policy!), but I will say that that day where a whole bunch of people including Chase and Luffy resigned was a very fun, vindicating day for me.
So pt.2 of that commission will definitely be posted on FA, just for completeness sake. Whether or not I continue posting future stories on FA will depend on how that updated policy comes out, but it looks optimistic for now. But there will be a website coming soon. As soon as I have the energy to construct it.
And I guess that brings me to now. Right now I'm spending the week surrounding Christmas in Wales with family, so there won't be any uploads just now lol, but I did get a good chunk of progress on that comm done last night. Maybe I can squeeze the rest of that out while here. Maybe.
Anyway, to the future and all that.
Yoyo
Sticking around for now.
Posted 12 months agofinally, admissions of guilt were made and resignations tended.
furaffinity is on thin fucking ice but i *want* this place to stick around both as an archive and a community hub. if things *some-fucking-how* get worse after some of the dust has settled on this latest wave of bullshit, then i'll be first to go. i would've already been gone this time around if it hadn't been at such an inconvenient time in my life. consider y'all lucky to have me :P
a website is coming soon. it's gonna be a pain in the ass because it costs money and i hate web design lmao but i've needed a secondary hub for my work for a while anyway.
just need to wait to heal enough that i can sit at my desk for enough hours to build the thing (:
i've said many times, though i don't know how many times here, that furaffinity needs a communications officer. i really hope they get one in this new wave of taking staff on.

Considering my future on FA
Posted a year agough
its been over a month since that garbage twitter thread and my journal talking about it and they've finally done "something", though in reality it is still nothing
i'm not going to catch everyone up because i'm tired and pissed but in the latest update they have put their footdown and "banned" "minors" from appearing in a number of specific scenarios. in my last journal im pretty sure i said i was cool with them doing this if they want but they should have clarifications.
they still have not clarified what a minor is according to the upload policy. it is still a character with a "childlike body".
they still have not clarified what a childlike body is
they opened a thread on their discord alongside the announcement, which i raised this in rather persistently and then suddenly got banned with no warning or explaination. they even hit my alt discord that also has yoyofoxwell in the name, despite that account never having joined the FA discord. i think i got on luffy's nerves too much. and they say they don't have a problem with rogue mods.
luffy is the one who posted that fucking diagram when the childlike bodies thing was tweaked to involve poke/digi stuff too, lol.
i'll reiterate that furaffinity needs a communications officer
feel free to hire me. £20 a week is all i ask because jesus christ yall really need the bare fucking minimum and dont even have that
ugh.
so am i staying or am i going.
listen writing content is woefully undermoderated on here - im pretty sure i could write a story called the plight of charlie the childfucker and not get banned, i don't think im at any risk of ever getting hit by the most recent or any future changes to the upload policy.
but furaffinity is not a safe place for anyone to be posting any art that doesn't fit the mod teams personal set of interests. remember they clarified some fetishisation stuff but voring minors is still allowed.
any piece of art can be banned if it is believe to depict somebody with a "childlike body". i've been playing the guardians of the galaxy game and rocket raccoon doesn't even come up to peter quill's waist. is that childlike? fuck if i know. it is not safe to post art of rocket raccoon.
me staying here and keeping my stories here brings people to the site and gives the impression that it's a safe place to post art. it is not. i don't want to give that impression.
but i like furaffinity as a website, as far as a website is a collection of lines in a few html and css files. it's simple but effective.
i also fear about discovery and growth as an artist. if i host my own site, that drops to 0. on something like sofurry its lower than here but not zero.
maybe its time to start mirrorring to ao3 as well. i don't know.
ugh
if i'm being honest i wish they had done this literally any other time lmao. i have surgery on friday, the entire trajectory of my life could change on friday, i don't want to have to worry about transferring 50 fucking occam's emporium entries somewhere just this week.
furaffinity's incompetency is going to implode the site at some point or another anyway so i might just try and wait another couple weeks until the holes they cut in my anus heal.
i implore everyone else to leave. furaffinity has shown contempt for every part of the community at this point. just give me a few days.
i'll come back to this.
fire luffy.

Another wave of immature bullshit from FA.
Posted a year agoI know most of my watchers aren't ABDL so y'all are out of the loop on this, BUT YOU SHOULD STILL LISTEN, THIS MIGHT AFFECT YOU NEXT.
There's currently a bit of ban/takedown wave happening here on FA, of galleries containing age-regression art. There have not been any recent rule changes or statements/announcements. Many of the accounts hit Will have been brought to FA's attention when the last actual rule change happened.
There is only one inferrence to be made here:
FurAffinity currently has one or multiple moderators taking down galleries, not according to the rules, but according to what they find icky.
This is bad.
Obviously.
Now, two more important bits of context to note:
- The initial modmail message that came with the recent takedowns made no sense, and a recently revised one makes less sense (credit to puddles @\vaporeon.baby on bsky). Literally "youre allowed to do this, except you aren't.".
- Sciggles, the current head honcho of FA has said she'll look into this when she gets out of hospital. Personally, I do not expect her to do jack shit.
So what's the idea here from us users?
Step one: raise your voice. I don't use my twitter anymore, and FA doesn't have a bluesky account, so even one of you tweeting them about it would do be doing me a big favor. Force them to address it.
Step two: don't fucking leave. I've seen a good few people shuttering their accounts, which is EXACTLY WHAT THESE PRICKS WANT. They want the site "less icky". Don't give them an inch. Keep furry weird - including this website. Make backups, obviously, because you don't know which community a rogue mod is going to target next, but don't make their cleansing job any easier.
If you find yourself thinking, "okay, but banning abdl isn't a big deal to me", remember whose journal you're reading right now, and what the first story in my gallery is. Rape is a much more """""problematic""""" kink than ABDL, lmao. Even if I didn't have ABDL stories in my gallery, I could easily be next.
If you value my stories, then first of all: download them. Not even I can take them from you that way. Second, follow me on bluesky. I don't think I'm gonna get banned from there anytime soon, so it should be safe as a main base for me to link you places if I do end up getting kicked off this site. If you're really fuckin allergic to making a bluesky account (why?? its so good), then my email is yoyofoxwell@gmail.com, fuckin just send me an email if I disappear.
To reiterate, I am not going anywhere, this is not a "find me elsewhere post". I will fight tooth and nail to stay on this site, WITH my current gallery, until they have to scrape me off with a chisel. I'm just saying that if it happens out of nowhere, don't mourn me, cause I won't be dead.
(actually i might be, i really need this surgery lmao https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10941819/)

Slow Year
Posted a year agoHey'all.
This is somewhat of a vent post, somewhat of an update post.
I've been in pain since early February.
The fact that that isn't an exaggeration is the kicker. At the start of Febuary, I discovered I had an STI on my ass. I went in for treatment, and had a very bad reaction to the cream they gave me. I have been in pain for every waking hour since. I bleed every day. It's gotten infected multiple times. I've been in pain since early February.
Right now, I am in week 10 of the waiting list for surgery. The average is 12, the supposed maximum is 18 weeks for all services, but plenty of people are over that. And listen - I'm tired, but I'm not mad about this. I love the NHS. I could not afford surgery if I lived anywhere else - I haven't been able to work since any sweating increases the risk of infection, and increases the irritation fivefold. I wasn't working anyway in January, so my gross income since the 1st of January is somewhere around ~£75. I'm still fine for money, I'm surviving on generosity and savings, but I couldn't afford a big expense like surgery, even in a place where it's only a couple hundred euros or whatever.
So what I'm saying is it's a miracle I've been able to share any stories with you at all, lol.
I've definitely written a lot of words this year, but it's extremely hard to focus or write anything good when on some days I need to be taking hourly care of this shit, and other days I get interrupted by pangs of pain strong enough to be from the devil's trident. And I fucking love writing! It's one of the only things keeping me sane - don't get me wrong - but I have spent far too much time sitting at the keyboard and waiting to muster creative energy that isn't there this year.
I'm told recovery from this surgery is gonna suck pain-wise, and there's actually no guarantee that the STI that's been keeping me from healing naturally isn't just gonna come right back, but I'm still longing for it. I doubt I'll be writing much in that first week back, in fact I intend on stealing my sister's copy of Tears of the Kingdom and lying in bed for a week. I've heard it's good, and I really enjoyed botw.
Keen-eyed readers may have noticed my big burst of inspiration for Occam's Emporium that started up fast and even faster came to a grinding halt lmao. I mean most of that is just the nature of AuDHD but yeah finding inspiration like that is very hard in my current situation.
Keen-brained readers might remember my author's note from the start of Nick Gets Fucked 2A, in which I apologised for that taking two years to write, and hoped to not take as long for the next one?
Yeah...........
We're coming up on the 1 year anniversary of my big data loss on 3A that I wrote about in a couple of previous journals. I think I'm now back up to somewhere around the wordcount that I was before the loss! But as much as it's probably the thing I *want* to write most, it's definitely the hardest. Extremely doubtful of avoiding making that AN very ironic.
I'm looking at this wall of text right now and just thinking "see this is what i mean" lol. Writing itself is not the issue, it's being creative and making GOOD writing that's the issue at the moment.
So other than the other half of that commission, which I am steadily working on, don't expect anything else from me this year. I don't know when things will get better.
This isn't a begging post, as I said I'm in no financial danger, but I'll leave my Ko-fi here like I do below all my stories.
https://ko-fi.com/yoyofoxwell
Just in case you feel like giving me the means for me to have a Greggs or a sugary drink every now and again. The actual request I'll make is that you go and read one of the things I'm proudest of releasing this year. Either Rock, Paper, Scissors, Pie! or the narrative continuation of Occam's. I know that statistically speaking at least one of those will expose you to kinks you're not familiar with, but try them! I think they're really good :)
As always, DMs are open. Here, telegram, bluesky. I'm not really keen on pity/sympathy messages, but I am an extrovert so people to chat to about dumb stuff is a very fun distraction.
Thanks for listening, and Thanks for continuing to read. There will be more. Eventually.
Yoyo.

100 watchers
Posted a year agoWow, uh, thanks?
I was planning on saying that this is the most followers I've had on anything, ever, but now that I see that number and I think about it, this is probably more followers than I've had on everything, ever. That's counting twitter twice, bluesky, my youtube channel I don't post on, and if it still exists, the FiMFiction account I posted some garbage fic to when I was like 11 or something.
If you're a person who has never hit triple digits before too, I think now is a good time to picture that. Say you have 12 followers. That doesn't seem a lot, but you know who else had 12 followers? Granted, yours probably aren't as loyal as JC's, but have you seen Da Vinci's Last Supper? That's a lot of people!! An entire Premier League squad can be up to 25 people. Have you seen those group photos? That's a lot of people saying, hey, I like this, I wanna see more.
Now I don't have easy comparisons for all the way up to 100, so we'll skip to there. If you've worked in retail, or any other high-throughput customer-facing job, then a hundred customers probably isn't a big deal to you, you see that shit several times a day. But 100 customers who are here for you? Not your boss, not your brand, not the product that came in from the factory this morning - you.
That feels kinda nice.
I wanted to do a giveaway/raffle as a thank you, but I've kind of got a lot on my plate right now, so it'll have to wait. Maybe 111 watchers :P
And a P.S. to the people who read almost everything I put out: I see you in my faves. You're insane. I love you.

Granted, yours probably aren't as loyal as JC's, but have you seen Da Vinci's Last Supper? That's a lot of people!! An entire Premier League squad can be up to 25 people. Have you seen those group photos? That's a lot of people saying, hey, I like this, I wanna see more.
Now I don't have easy comparisons for all the way up to 100, so we'll skip to there. If you've worked in retail, or any other high-throughput customer-facing job, then a hundred customers probably isn't a big deal to you, you see that shit several times a day. But 100 customers who are here for you? Not your boss, not your brand, not the product that came in from the factory this morning - you.
That feels kinda nice.
I wanted to do a giveaway/raffle as a thank you, but I've kind of got a lot on my plate right now, so it'll have to wait. Maybe 111 watchers :P
And a P.S. to the people who read almost everything I put out: I see you in my faves. You're insane. I love you.
Itching for more - Choose what I write next!
Posted a year agoSince posting the latest Rocket x Blackjack story, my fingers have been itching to write more, continue the groove! Only problem is, my ideas document is so full of shit that I'm paralysed for choice :P
There is an idea in there that would make for a good Easter post (set in the NGF universe but not actually involving Nick lol), but obviously there's only so much time till then, so there'd be a bit of pressure on that one.
I've put some options in a strawpoll - it'll only be up for a day cause I'm HUNGY to write more, so vote quick!
https://strawpoll.com/kjn185boeyQ
P.S: There is also an other option, but that's still for more vague suggestions (e.g "do something with this character!" "do something w this kink!" "do something like this other thing!") - if you have an actual idea I'd recommend sending me a commission enquiry :P

couple of stocking stuffers and a year in review
Posted 2 years agoHey'all, a couple of new Occam's Emporium entries for you, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to have a rambly check in again cause this has been an... interesting year for my writing lol.
I started the year with a couple of failed commissions - I'm always happy to refund when I'm having bad writer's block, which happens to be most of the time, but hey, I made a friend out it and learnt more about my capabilities as a "service provider/content creator".
After that hump, work got properly underway on Nick Gets Fucked Part 3A. This series is my white whale, my magnum opus, and my unsolved case - all at once - and will probably be my ninth symphony too :P
But actually, I promise what I'm writing is really good - in my opinion my best work, and the excitement for y'all to see it hasn't died down since it some meat on it.
At the end of spring I birthed my "other big project", Occam's Emporium for the Notably Magical and Remarkably Kinky! Just OE for short, because Jesus, Occam. This is my fun little experimental series that you should definitely go and have a look at if you haven't! As evidenced by the upload schedule and lackluster changelog, this one didn't flow as easily as I thought it would either, but GOD I love Occam so much - he immediately became a part of my 'inner circle' of OCs, and of course I'd later give him the true mark of a character I love deeply: face-fucking him repeatedly.
In summer I was in a hell of a groove. Amidst NGF flying off the keyboard, I spat out a short scat-omorashi fetish story in an afternoon. It went down pretty well, and I realised I was pretty confident in my ability to do that, and so opened the single scoop comms for a bit!
In the end though, only four of those came out cause my groove was severely and violently cut off at the end of summer. I lost about 7000 words of NGF3A to a data glitch, just sheared clean off. 7000 words of my best work yet, as I called it a moment ago. Needless to say, that fucked up my motivation. I tried my best to get it back, blah blah, the journal I wrote about it is still there. I forced out the comm I was in the midst of, and then didn't touch my keyboard for 3 weeks. I don't think I touched NGF for a further month :/
I only really got my mojo back with Giving Head(s), a piece where the only pressure I put myself under was the time limit. I don't really have much to say about that story to be fair. I released it, which is obviously rare, it's good, and I had fun with it. What more could I want from a story?
Oh yeah, perhaps not having to rewrite in the shadow of scenes I'd already completed.
I do genuinely wonder if people will be able to spot where the loss happened in the final version - I imagine to a trained eye the difference in voice and style will be noticable lol.
So yeah, ups and downs. Didn't get to release the thing I wanted to release from the start of the year, did realease a bunch of stuff I'm really proud of. I don't have any plans for next year yet - I still need to work on myself a bunch, maybe if that happens I'll tie up the knots on a couple of stories from this mountain of WIPs I've got. We'll see, is all I can ever say. Hope the rest of you have had a good one, hope you'll have a good next one.
We'll see.

Burnt out - Gotta take a break
Posted 2 years agoSimple enough, we all know what burnout is nowadays :P
I very much *want* to write at the minute but every time I do just garbage comes out and I can't keep focus for any useful amount of time. So gonna hang up the keyboard for a bit, come back when I can't resist the itch anymore.
You'll know I've gotten over it the next time I publish something :)
DMs are open as always!

Go be in a comic!
Posted 2 years agoYO!
Someone who came onto my radar recently is gonna be doing a comic soon, and there's a bunch of spots on auction for people to come fill the cast. The auction ends on Friday and there's still a bunch of spots still wanting their SB, so go check it!
The comic is a wrestling comic starring a very gassy skunk, which I know neither are topics I've covered on here (though there will be a fart focused OE at some point, that series isn't dead yet :P), but I also know a lot of you have very diverse tastes, so I'd advise y'all to take a look.
I really wanna see this creator get the recognition (and funding!) they for sure deserve, it'd mean a lot even if you passed it on to someone who might be more interested than you!
(and no, i've not been asked to do this post by them lol, i just wanted to give a signal boost using what platform i have ^^)

Scoop price increase + reminder
Posted 2 years agoHeya!
When I opened for the Single Scoop Commissions, I said ehhh - 2000 words for £20, should be enough for what these are.
And then I overran that wordcount on Every Single One, so I'm just gonna bump it up to 2500 for £25 lol. Again, that still isn't a guarantee of precisely 2500 words, it could still easily be quite variant of that while staying at the fixed price. That usually ends up in a bargain for you, so I quite like that system.
Obviously, to those currently in my queue: I'm not about to make you pay the increased version since you're already on the waitlist with the expectation of £20. I wouldn't pull the rug on you like that :)
ALSO, I am aware I'm swiftly becoming/already am "the gay nick wilde stories guy".
Don't get me wrong - I fuckin love gay nick wilde stories, I'll never turn that shit down, but I just wanna remind y'all that I'm open to a whole load more characters/themes lol.
Check out my kink list linked in my TOS too, I'm into quite a lot of stuff - you may see something you hadn't realised you wanted a story about :3
Anyway, that's all. Have a good one!

I'm Back + It's Gone + PSA
Posted 2 years agoSo... fuck.
Between 4-5am ish on 08/31, my writing app bugged out or *Something* happened, and when I woke about 1/3rd of Nick Gets Fucked Part 3A was gone. Just the last third of the document sheared clean off. About 6 or 7 thousand words. If you've read my journals or anything recently you know I've been working on this A WHILE. I'd estimate that this is about 2-3 months of work - nay 2-3 months of my *best* work, like, ever.
"That's okay. I have a backup." I thought to myself, like an idiot.
A little while back, when I updated to Android 13, Google prompted me to set up Google One, their in-built, premier back up service. I was in need of a new short term backup system so I signed up and didn't think much of it.
Hoo boy. What a service it is. First off, there's no way to actually access your backup or see what specific shit is on it - the only way to get at it is during Android first-time setup (like when you get a new phone). Second, I figured out **why** they hide that shit, it's because it doesn't actually save half the shit it advertises as doing.
Documents? 0
Downloaded data/images? 0
App data? Maybe like 40% of it
So safe to say after I'd done a factory reset to get at setup ((another thanks google moment, my account had 2fa on it so when I reset the authentifying phone, rather than like just offer to text my SIM or something they make me wait twenty four fucking hours while they disable the 2fa)), it didn't bother bringing over any of my writings.
I had a pretty good guess at what shit it might ignore, and I think I got most of it right so should have a fun time redownloading all of that :))
(and before anyone starts, I KNOW i should have had a better backup - i literally remember thinking about it like 3 hours before the incident but thats what happens when you're as much of a procrastinator as me)
Yeah... So I'm back online. NGF will be a while further off, assuming the rewrite doesn't demoralise me to the point of abandoning that branch :/
Recommendations for less shit backup services and less buggy writing apps welcome.
The PSA is simply don't use Google One, don't trust it to save ANYTHING that you can't already access through other Google services.
Keep your data safe.
As always, DMs are open (best on telegram nowadays), scoop comms are open (slower until i find a new writing app i can vibe with), donations are open, and requests for OE are open.

Quick Update
Posted 2 years agoJust writing a quick thing to say that due to technical difficulties my phone has been unavailable for the last ~27 hours, and will be for probably another 30 at least (:
Seen as thats where I conduct almost all of my business and communications, I'd like to apologise if anyone's tried to reach me recently as I've definitely missed it lol. Because 2fa, It'll be an absolute pain to access many of those services until my phone is back up and running - so for now the best way to contact me will be on here!
I may also have some terrible fucking news when I'm back up and running but thats not determined yet.
I'll let y'all know when I'm back and will probably have a hell of vent post to follow ¬.¬

SINGLE SCOOP COMMISSIONS
Posted 2 years agoOne Hundred?!
Posted 2 years agoJust checked up on the first part of Nick Gets Fucked and found it has hit 100 favourites!
I want to thank each and every one of y'all - it may not seem like the biggest deal to some, but this is by far the most attention and praise I've ever gotten for an actual project of mine, aside from like runaway tweets and reddit posts 😅
It means so much that a hundred people read this dumb little fic and then decided that it was worth enough of their time to go find the favourite button and save it to their library. And that that has continued happening for over two and a half years!
I look back on the story itself from where I am as a writer now and have to smile a little - I know my posting history doesn't show it but I've written a lot since then, and NGF1 really shows me where I came from; that foundation of the way I structure stuff and shit like that. Back then, I was very much writing what I wanted to read - I still am of course, but now everything I do I aim to do with the purpose of furthering my skill at conveying imagery and emotion to you guys. The fact that 100 of you already experienced that when my writing was still kind of mid makes me really excited to share and connect more stories with y'all!
Anyway, just wanted to gush for a minute. I'll get back to writing 3A now :P

Update - Getting over walls
Posted 2 years ago'Ello 'ello 'ello,
Just a quick check in post, let everyone know how things are going.
Firstly, writing and uploads: I was having a very good time with my workflow, working on Occam's Emporium and Nick Gets Fucked simultaneously, until I hit a brick wall ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's just the way it is with my brain unfortunately, it's unpredictable. I'm kind of hoping writing this journal will help unstick a little bit, it's weird how it works :P
I'm really enjoying NGF 3A so far. It's probably one of the less erotic pieces of erotica I've written aside from OE, but still very much worthy of the series' name don't worry. At this point I'm writing it for myself moreso than anyone else, trying to advance my skills as a writer. I think a lot of you will get a kick out of it.
Next, me! Since basically the start of March I've been in a state of "moving house soon!", it's been quite exhausting >.<,, but right now we're closer than we've gotten so far so fingers crossed for no steps backwards and that'll be done with soon. Oh, and happy pride month btw! ^-^
Last up is money stuff. I don't think commissions are going to be coming back for a while - everyone who's attempted to commission me over the past couple years will understand why (sorry again, btw). I'll think about it once settled in my new place as my whole situation is gonna be very different, but don't get your hopes up. However, moving is expensive and every little helps so I've set up a Ko-fi again! The link is gonna be all over my page, sorry, but there's absolutely zero obligation to donate, it's just for if you want to throw a couple of coins into the wishing well that is my pocket :P. I'll be sure to write you a nice thank you message if you do!
That's about it from me I think! Everyone keep on trucking etc. As always, requests for OE are still welcome and my DMs are open if you wanna chat about anything :)
Have a good one.

Help wanted - FA policy changes
Posted 2 years agoHeya all, I just read Fender's latest update journal and I think y'all should too.
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10552819
This is going to get plenty of discussion from within the ABDL community, which I am a part of - but most of my watchers here aren't in those circles and it could still affect you, so I thought I'd make a post discussing it.
This policy going into place would be a fucking nightmare for everyone. If the journal is TL and you DR, they are going to attempt to moderate content of underage characters in sexual situations by evaluating if the characters are depicted with "childlike body proportions".
First off, moderating a massive website such as FA based on any subjective clause is just hell on earth for the actual moderators. They already do so much for this site, they don't need the burden of having to individually vibe-check every piece they come across.
But mainly - what the fuck is a childlike body proportion?!?!?
Like I legitimately do not understand what they're going to be looking for here. If they are going to go through with this policy, they need to make this explicitly clear, NOW. Put up guidelines, provide references, don't just leave it at that.
If you're still not picking up what I'm trying to get across here: take Finnick from Zootopia. We're all in agreement that he's a whole ass adult, right? Played by a [then] 58 year old man, depicted driving and having monetary needs, et cetera. What about his appearance is non-"childlike"? Or any fennec? How about the way otters are portrayed in most furry artstyles?
Furries cannot be equally visually compared to real humans/children - its just not going to work.
And there's really no such thing as an "adult" feature or "adult" proportion either - is there?
I'm so mad, but luckily FA have provided us with avenue for a solution. They've invited those doubtful about the contents of their gallery to submit support tickets asking if their account is okay - which we are going to use to voice our opinions; a manner of mild peaceful protest.
Submit a ticket.
If you've never done it before, just go to Support -> Report a problem.
On the dropdown "Issue" menu, I'd suggest selecting either Minor Protective Services - NSFW Underage Content, as they've suggested in the update journal, but you could also take it up with Upload Policy - Other, as this is technically an upload policy update.
Let them know what a nightmare-scenario this will be. Feel free to steal my Finnick comparison, Hell, feel free to just paste a link to this journal if you're busy/lazy.
I'm sure the moderators don't want to have to deal with this change. Let them know that you don't either. This is going to effect the entire site - don't sit by and let your voice be unheard.

This is going to get plenty of discussion from within the ABDL community, which I am a part of - but most of my watchers here aren't in those circles and it could still affect you, so I thought I'd make a post discussing it.
This policy going into place would be a fucking nightmare for everyone. If the journal is TL and you DR, they are going to attempt to moderate content of underage characters in sexual situations by evaluating if the characters are depicted with "childlike body proportions".
First off, moderating a massive website such as FA based on any subjective clause is just hell on earth for the actual moderators. They already do so much for this site, they don't need the burden of having to individually vibe-check every piece they come across.
But mainly - what the fuck is a childlike body proportion?!?!?
Like I legitimately do not understand what they're going to be looking for here. If they are going to go through with this policy, they need to make this explicitly clear, NOW. Put up guidelines, provide references, don't just leave it at that.
If you're still not picking up what I'm trying to get across here: take Finnick from Zootopia. We're all in agreement that he's a whole ass adult, right? Played by a [then] 58 year old man, depicted driving and having monetary needs, et cetera. What about his appearance is non-"childlike"? Or any fennec? How about the way otters are portrayed in most furry artstyles?
Furries cannot be equally visually compared to real humans/children - its just not going to work.
And there's really no such thing as an "adult" feature or "adult" proportion either - is there?
I'm so mad, but luckily FA have provided us with avenue for a solution. They've invited those doubtful about the contents of their gallery to submit support tickets asking if their account is okay - which we are going to use to voice our opinions; a manner of mild peaceful protest.
Submit a ticket.
If you've never done it before, just go to Support -> Report a problem.
On the dropdown "Issue" menu, I'd suggest selecting either Minor Protective Services - NSFW Underage Content, as they've suggested in the update journal, but you could also take it up with Upload Policy - Other, as this is technically an upload policy update.
Let them know what a nightmare-scenario this will be. Feel free to steal my Finnick comparison, Hell, feel free to just paste a link to this journal if you're busy/lazy.
I'm sure the moderators don't want to have to deal with this change. Let them know that you don't either. This is going to effect the entire site - don't sit by and let your voice be unheard.
