Well, here I am.

Still alive, for the few of you that care. I haven't written anything recently, but that might change.

When I started this profile, I was just out of high school and about to enter college (still 18, I should add). I was infatuated with this horse identity, and all the fun, fantasy things I could do with it. I wrote down all those absurd fantasy scenarios, and thus was born my multiple stories that include over the top sexual fantasies that some might find ridiculous, but I and a select few found completely arousing. Sure, it was absolutely crazy and absurd, but man was it hot to write. Part of the difficulty of writing those stories was how aroused I got when creating them!

I've been on F-list (a site where you create a character and hop onto some chat rooms) for a while, RPing here and there, but not actually jotting down any full-fledged stories. I looked back on my previous works and found them wanting, but didn't sum up the courage to write anything better. Throughout my college years I thought it would be best to ignore Galthroc, and focus on the real life Jonathan (omg my real name). I did so for a good four years, replacing my smut writing with college essays about literary theory. I don't deny that this was a smart idea, seeing as how majoring in English requires the utmost attention of a student if he/she ever hopes to get any attention in the real world after graduation.

Well guess what. I've graduated. I worked hard. I got a good GPA. I did tutoring work and intern work. So far, it's gotten me nowhere. Fuck the "real world." So, I figure, why not embrace the alternative identity that's brought me so much joy? Why not return to Galthroc, who I've felt myself with, who I've felt I could effortlessly express myself with?

It's weird. As myself, I feel as though I have to put on a mask and pretend to be someone else in order to please people and get ahead. As Galthroc, I can be myself. Dirty and smutty, sure. But along the way, I've met some terrific people who I've carelessly thrown away in order to try to get ahead in the real world. Spab. Draco. Others, still. But, I think I've learned finally that I can blend these two identities. Galthroc and Jonathan can co-exist without conflict. I want to make it that way. Some of the people I've met this way have been terrific friends, who hear me out, help me through struggles, and don't judge me for shallow characteristics that I've been judged for before. How could I be so foolish as to throw that away?

I can't say for certain when I'll start to write anything again. But I do want to say that I'm embracing both of my identities. Merging them, even. It hasn't been easy, but I know it will be worth it.

Please, if you've been in touch with me in the past, do so again. I'd love to catch up with you.

With all my love, fellow furry communities,

Galthroc.
