I can see how you'd have a little bias toward a Golden Retriever story. ^_^
Hope you get a chance to read more of my work soon!
Glad you liked it, catgirl! Arf!
Hope you get a chance to check out the rest of Tess and Erik's stories here on FA! ^_^
If the novel I just finished is any indication, the Code Drop novel will probably only have 2-3 sex scenes in several hundred pages. I'm more willing to have sex in stories online because it shows folks that there will be sex in the book and it attracts readers. Furthermore, if actually done right, sex scenes can be as effective a means of developing characters as anything else. Like anything else, though, they can be overused. :)
You can find the original stories that spawned the novel here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2964152/ And more stories in both series will be coming out soon!
I'm happy you liked it. :) These Code Drop stories are meant to stand alone, so they tend to be marshmallows: sweet, small, and mostly fluff. They're intended to promote my larger story in Heat, and perhaps even a novel in a year or two.
If you'd like something with more substance, I'd recommend Adept Paws: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3086196 It's my fantasy series and has a large, over-arcing plot concerning ferrets and the end of the world.
probably after finishing my writing degree at least
I'm very happy that you can connect with my work, RJ. When I write, I try to write the sort of story I rarely get to see. Erik and Tess are a great example of this. There seem to be very few quiet, genuinely nice guys in yiff stories-- more often they're either totally aggressive and dominating, or completely submissive and yielding. Most people aren't this extreme in real life. The same goes for Tess-- I wanted to write a badass female character, but needed to show she has a heart too, otherwise it would make no sense that Erik would be attracted to her.
Another thing that I feel I don't see enough of in furry stories (and online stories in general) are real, meaningful relationships. Reading stories like that reminds me that other people want the same basic things I do out of relationships: trust, love, affection, etc.
And it's funny you should mention that year-- 2012 is when I'm hoping to release the Code Drop novel.
Please feel free to comment more. I promise to reply sooner than I did to this one! :D
I think it would be cool to have Code Drop illustrated, and it might attract more attention that way. Furries like pretty pictures.
btw, when's the next chapter coming out? I'm real excited for it ^^
But still Hanna and Tess seemed to be getting along in the end. And the end scene with Tess and Erik alone in the car was awfully cute. With the risk of sounding very cynical, writing a stimulating furry story that has more to it than just the normal fappity fap parts is an endeavor few authors accomplish. But yeah, you do.
I always try to include vivid moments here and there in my stories and I'm proud you like the ending on this one. ^_^ And yes, I think furry authors sometimes limit themselves by thinking that all stories need to have sexual content. One of the things I've learned as a furry writer is to view not worry too much about whether or not there is sex in my story (many mainstream authors don't seem to care much either way). If it's a good story, people will read it either way.
Thanks again for all the comments! :D
