I know, you're all shocked. I mean...

It's shocking that I would like men who are big and soft and doughy. Men who haven't showered lately and whose pits, crotch and ass are soaked with sweat. Men who aren't shy and are happy to lift their heads and let disgusting burps erupt into the air, or don't mind staining the furniture or even my face with wet, gag inducing farts.

This has been my dumb horny post of the... year? Yeah. Dumb dog is dumb lmao

Well, I'm 30 now. It's neat.

It's that time of year again. I hope everyone has a lovely time. : )

In all honesty, I forgot to ask people to get me anything but candy, so I'm probably going to get a lot of candy. If I've accidentally made Christmas into a full candy bar Halloween for myself, I won't be complaining, lol.

So I'm uploading content again, but this time with a somewhat different method. In short, my mental health has improved a lot and I have reason to believe that it'll stick that way, so I'm actually moving forward with projects and upload schedules.

1. Instead of posting a bunch of unfinished stories, everything I post has a detailed outline with a definite end state; and often, if I post Part 1 of something, the final part of it has already been written (if not edited).
2. All of my writing is edited.
3. I'm starting a regular upload schedule (every Saturday), if possible. Might change to every other Saturday. Or another day of the week. I'll let you know.

I'm also developing a full canon reset on my erotic fiction.

1. James, Nuada and Sprinkles are functionally replacing Lucky, Tom and Tucker. (I didn't write much about them anyway.). James is going to be the focus of a lot of my stories going forward, as he is my new fursona and subby as shit.
2. Adrik and Scott are basically the same.
3. Paunch and Pepper are going to have a reboot at some point. I loved their vibe and character chemistry and really want to give them an actual plotline to follow. One where I have the outline and remember what I'm doing with them.
4. Bombshell might be smaller. He might have a somewhat different attitude. Being a demigod doesn't mean having a temple anymore. I'm not 100% sure, but one thing is certain: even a nice version of Bombshell will make you breathe nothing but his farts for a week straight. : )
5. Cyan City is no longer a walled city that's surrounded by monsters. It's just a really big city on a new subcontinent that's been added to the US for... reasons. Originally New Florida was actually a continent created by Bombshell's dogshit, but he doesn't exactly have his own space program anymore.

I'm planning on changing the focus of my writing, somewhat. My scat content is my most popular thing, and I'm going to focus more on scat in the future. In the past I was somewhat concerned that it could alienate people, but it's actually one of my distinguishing features as a writer in furry spaces. Everything will be appropriately labeled, and I love musk and farts enough that there'll be plenty of that happening, too!

Finally, I'm planning to open up for commissions again in the relatively near future, but I can't say if that'll be in weeks or months. I'm going to run them somewhat differently, but I'm not 100% sure on the exact details yet. I definitely want something better than an FA journal for my terms of service. I am going to be more expensive, but have more frequent raffles and stuff.

Get sat on, nerds.

Yesterday, I played a visual novel by  Horrorbuns. I have never interacted with this guy and don't know him personally in any way, but I've never played a visual novel before and this was the first one he'd made, so I thought I'd check it out (as I very much enjoy size difference/squashing/musk material).

I’ve never played a visual novel before. As far as gameplay goes, you kinda just click through this one (as opposed to the CYOA stuff that some visual novels do a bit of). I am not an artist, a gamer, or a connoisseur of this medium, so I’m not sure how useful this review actually is, lol.

I am reviewing this from the perspective of a writer. I can’t tell you too much about the track list, or the artwork: I thought it was all really good and very enjoyable, but that is without any technical knowledge or skill in these areas, or experience with this specific medium of storytelling.

You can download his visual novel here: https://horrorbuns.itch.io/clawstar-wrestling
His twitter is here: https://twitter.com/horrorbuns

What is Clawstar Wrestling about?
The story follows Eli (a very edgy, twinky fox who works as a jobber in a not-too-popular wrestling venue) and Tremor (a boisterous, kinda dim musclegut dog) as they work together to advance each other's wrestling careers. Eli secretly has a crush on Tremor, and enjoys being crushed by him in turn; Tremor is gay as shit and figures it out in what appears to be about five entire seconds.

Our edgy fox boi (Eli) is an experienced and very skilled wrestler. He's extremely passionate about wrestling, but is a mix of very reserved and very frustrated with elements of his life and his career. Tremor acts as a foil -- he's extremely outgoing and teasy, very new to professional wrestling, and needs a lot of work to develop his skills, and benefits very much from the smaller man's influence.

Initially, the two don't get along very well, but they become close over the course of the story and enter into a romantic (and deeply sexual) relationship as their career together climbs to new heights.

How good is it, really?
It's a very short story (the author discussed starting and completing the whole project in under a month), but I enjoyed it very much. Horrorbuns seems to primarily be an artist, but he has clearly worked very hard to develop skills in storytelling:

I was very impressed, and somewhat surprised, to find that the visual novel's largest problem was its length. By the end, I really wanted a whole lot more. Hell, I'd pay good money for a whole lot more. Charge $20-$30 for a more complete experience (longer arcs, more characters, decision trees) and I'm there. It doesn't have my absolute favorite kinks, but Tremor is really hot, and Eli is someone who is kinda silly (if a little melancholic).

Our deuteragonists have fantastic chemistry together, and their relationship evolves in what I think is a pretty organic fashion. Horrorbuns really took advantage of the short length and fast pacing of the story to give their relationship a strong starting point; there is a definite feeling that they were either gonna stop working together or get much closer. Once they choose the latter option, and their careers are meaningfully and intentionally connected, the growth in their relationship feels very natural and sensible: mutual respect and admiration goes a long way.

Its primary flaw: time constraints.
The pacing was a little rushed, but I don't think the author could have done any better with the length and time limitations he had in developing Clawstar Wrestling. He needed to get to the point, and fast, but he still took the time to introduce us to 2 characters who were facing a crossroads in their lives, and deftly navigated the player and the characters through these difficult choices.

The characterization was excellent, if a little exaggerated at times. I think that this, too, was a problem of length and development time: crafting a subtle narrative that gives the audience time to figure stuff out for themselves would have added both things to the story, and they were clearly pretty limited for the intended scope of the project.

His largest issues were with description and dialogue: they weren't bad, exactly, but they were too straightforward. It went between being totally alright to reading like something that was either from a decent RP, or from someone taking a creative writing class. Sometimes it was "in your face" without necessarily being good, or dramatic in ways that didn't fit the tone or context of the story.

Writers talk a lot about showing and not telling. This story needed to show us a lot more than it told us, but given development constraints, there wasn't time to do that.

If Horrorbuns were to ask me for advice (lmao why would he do that), I would suggest reading more prose and comicbook/manga material and carefully examine how and why the dialogue is written the way it is. There are many types of characters and many kinds of dialogue, and he clearly needs practice handling it and how to integrate it with characters and the story as a whole; characters, story arcs and stories themselves can all have their own tones, moods and themes that you are navigating around as an author.

Just stating things can be pretty fun and hot, but if/when Horrorbuns writes a new visual novel (preferably with fewer time constraints), I hope that he also puts effort into elaborating on his description; and in using it outside of purely physical concepts.

Characters just stating stuff like “I love how much you love to crush me” can be hot (because teasing is fun), but someone’s private thoughts and inner monologues has a lot more room for nuance and description. It’s not necessarily just someone talking to themselves: it’s about their feelings, their senses, the cords that tie together thoughts, memories, bodily sensations, and our processing of the current moment.

Its largest strengths: introduction, ending, atmosphere, and characterization.
The introductory scene to Clawstar Wrestling is absolutely excellent. It nails the atmosphere of a wrestling ring, while introducing many different elements of the story and the deuteragonists’ place in it in immediate and surprisingly subtle ways.

It communicates Eli’s love of wrestling, and his frustrating with where his career is at right now. It shows us Tremor’s attitude, talent, and sheer size – and how he’s not just talented at wrestling, but at drawing and handling a crowd.

The end of the story is very much a book end: it shows us where both Tremor and Eli have developed in their relationship, as people, and as wrestlers. It feels victorious, intimate and earned, all at once. Every story promises certain things about how it will conclude, and often, that promise is broken – but Clawstar Wrestling keeps its promises, and wraps things up in a very emotional and elegant way that left me wanting more.

Conclusion
Getting your work out there is always going to be more important than rounding off the edges. You can't let the perfection be the enemy of good, and I'm sure that our man Horrorbuns learned a lot in the writing, drawing and otherwise developing this visual novel. Clawstar Wrestling accomplishes all of the things that it was trying to accomplish, without sacrificing too much depth in the process.

This visual novel is much better than a free piece from a furry artist has any right to be (no offense, furry artists). The author is clearly knowledgeable about the mechanics of storytelling, even if he is not yet a master of those mechanics.

The things that this visual novel gets right are far more significant than its imperfections. It’s thoughtful and emotional while still managing to be pretty fucking hot. It is an exploration of love, lust, intimacy and ambition; it’s a story about what you can do when you work as a team, and where you can go if you take opportunities when you can find them.

This isn’t Romeo & Juliet, and it isn’t trying to be: this is erotic, but the eroticism doesn’t leave the plot or its characters behind.

I was very glad to play Clawstar Wrestling, and I’m very happy to write this review. I have no idea if anyone is going to read this fucking thing, but I hope somebody does.

Is It Any Good?

As of March 22, 2021, I am closed for commissions. Watch me to learn when I open back up again. More info here.

Hi everyone! I’m opening for commissions. I’m also hoping that this is considered good news.

If you’re interested, you can send me a note. You can also hit me up on Telegram as Flyceratops, or Discord as Flyceratops#7743. I don’t bite, so talk to me any time and I’ll get back to you!

I have two pages giving reviews for commissions and related experience: the first one, from Flippers55, is here. The second one, for BombshellRottie (my current account) is here.

You have to be 18 years or older to commission me. No exceptions.

1. Commission Prices
Commissions are taken in 600 word tiers – $30 per 600 words, or $0.06 a word. This is expensive. It’s about what’s worth it for me to do the work, but it’s also about what’s worth it for you: you’re getting what you pay for.

If there is a fetish that I haven't done before, the story is half price for up to 1,800 words (3 pages): so instead of $30 a page it's $15 a page, for a maximum of $45. This is because I want to add material to what's in my gallery and frankly, you're probably going to have to ask me to edit things in. You can expect me to need 2-3 examples of your favorite erotic stories involving the fetish, preferably furry stuff.

Please note that I get to choose on a case by case basis what does and doesn't count for this discount. The discount is on a permanent basis and is not likely to change to a lower or higher percentage.

A. What areas do you specialize in?
I pretty much only write gay erotica, because I'm gay: if you want someone to write about the female anatomy then I'm probably not your fur. The fetishes I've done before are: gas (farting/burping), scat, adult diaper use, watersports, cumbathing, sweat, facesitting, macro/micro, weight gain and fat play.

B. What won’t you write about?
Snuff, necrophilia, hard vore, disposal, digestion, unbirthing, bimboification, cub porn, baby furs, under-18 characters, settings commonly featuring minors such as high school or below, rape, grievous bodily harm and psychiatric trauma are off limits. Nonconsensual and dubconsensual material might be okay if it’s within the bounds of a fetish.

It’s worth noting that I do not write about established characters: they have to be the original characters of you or someone you know who has approved the use of their character. No Scooby Doo or characters from That ‘70s Show. I'll write about your Pikachu OC, but not Pikachu from the Pokémon anime. I've written exported characters in the past (characters based off of a canonized universe but which are owned by you or me): I won't write about Falco from Star Fox, but I'll write about "Palco the blue anthropomorphic space falcon".

If you want to know what I’ve done so far, feel free to check my gallery as BombshellRottie or  Flippers55 on FA. If you want to see any material that isn’t porn for some reason, I can send you a Google Docs link of whatever I’m working on, as long as you agree not to share it.

If I don’t think I’m the right person for your commission, I will straight up tell you. I’m not in the business of doing poor quality work for unsatisfied people. I don’t need the money enough that I’m going to sacrifice my reputation as an author.

I reserve the right to refuse to write anything I don’t want to write, for any reason. That being said, if it’s not on my “no” list, feel free to just ask me. I don’t kinkshame, and I’m not here to judge.

2. Why should you commission me?
Because I have:

-- fourteen years of experience writing fiction.
– spent thousands of hours and several years studying fiction writing and storytelling, from plot and character development to description and pacing.
– skill in analyzing writing with a wide variety of narrative styles and structures.
-- experience with large and small scale stories: whatever you want, I have the skill needed to write it.
– feedback that shows that I am reliable and produce high quality work.
– a thorough and detailed commissioning process that prioritizes what you want.

3. What is your commissioning process?

The process involves three stages, designed for quality assurance and communication between me (the writer) and you (the client).

Stage One: Consultation. We talk about what you want and what you need. I try to figure out what you like (usually by talking to you about what you want, and asking you for your favorite pieces of relevant art and erotica). I make an outline based off of what you tell me, and we agree on the content of the outline and a price. You pay me.

We’re not locked into the outline – you can suggest changes as we go – but it gives you an idea of the story you’re agreeing to pay me to write.

Stage Two: I write the story, getting your approval page by page: every time I finish a page, I show you a copy of the full story and you can ask me to edit anything on it, including rewriting the whole page, and telling me if you have new ideas on how the story should continue.

When the whole thing is done, you have one last look to ask me to make any changes, but they can’t be extreme or structural. I show you the full story as I’m working on it by putting each new page on Google Docs, which lets you see it with a clickable link.

Stage Three: The story is done. You get it in .pdf format, emailed to you or sent to you on Telegram or Discord. Hopefully you fill out my testimonial questionnaire thing, so people can see that I do good work.

A. What if I want something that you don't have in your gallery?
You get a 50% discount for up to 1,800 words (3 pages). See "1. Commission Prices".

B. What if you don't know exactly what you want?
If you don't know what you want, exactly, and your idea is very vague, we'll work out a length, figure out an opening and a basic idea (plot, setting, etc), you'll pay me, and I'll start on the story. We can always develop the story as I go: I'm not locked into the outline process.

4. How does payment work?
Once I'm ready to work on your commission, I send you a request link through PayPal. You pay the agreed upon sum to me and I start working on it.

By this point, we have already agreed on an outline and a length and price.

A. What if I want to change the amount of the commission?
If you want the commission to be longer, I'll be happy to work something out. If you want it to be shorter, it'll work based on the refund policy below.

Is there an upper and lower limit to how much I can commission you for?
The minimum you can commission me for is 1 page, or about 600 words, at $30.

For people who haven't worked with me before, I suggest starting with a relatively small amount of material -- 1 to 4 pages. You don't want to pay me $500 and wait a long time to see the final product, and it's honestly a red flag if someone wants to dump a ton of money into someone they haven't worked with before.

C. Maximum Payments
It depends on the story and stuff, but if I don't think I can get your full commission done in 2 weeks, we will talk about shortening it into sections where you only pay for one section at a time. It's better if you have a full, final product sooner rather than later, even if it means multiple final products instead of one larger whole.

5. What is your refund policy?

My refund policy is simple: if you want the money back and I haven’t written anything, you get it all back. If you want it back and you’ve already approved a page or pages, you get the money back, minus the standard $30 a page for whatever you have already approved. So if you pay me $120 for 4 pages, and you’ve approved one page, you will get $90 back.

If I have some kind of emergency and won’t be able to get back to working on your story in under a week, I will refund the appropriate amount of your money and we will talk about a timeline for finishing the story and the rest of my payment later. This isn’t likely, but shit happens.

Prices are final and non-negotiable. We can work together to agree on an outline that is shorter or longer than your initial idea, but I don’t give discounts beyond my "stuff I haven't done before" discount (see "1. Commission Prices").

I do trades, but they have to be art trades. I’ll probably say yes, but I’ll want to see some of your art.

6. What rights do you have to your commission?
You can share it with anyone. You can put it anywhere online or in real life, as long as you credit me (BombshellRottie) as the author.

You agree not to edit any of the content in the story without my permission. You agree not to sell the story for money on any marketplace, or to any person, and not to financially profit from it in any way.

If you don’t want your story posted in my gallery on FA, or it can’t be put there for some reason, there is a $15 privacy fee: if people see that I did good work then they might commission me, and the fee makes up for lost income. This is agreed on up-front when I request payment, and is not used as a form of blackmail.

I may make brief edits on request, but it’s up to me whether I want to or not. You can always feel free to ask.

Do you offer discounts?
I only offer one discount: you get half price for up to 1,800 words (3 pages) if I haven't done a fetish before. See "1. Commission Prices".

9. Any other questions?
Hit me up with notes, Telegram or Discord. I accept all friend requests on Discord, so don’t be afraid to pop me one.

10. Changelog:
10/03/21: privacy fee raised from $10 to $15.
11/03/21: made things more clear and added a table of contents.

This page is to demonstrate that you can trust me for commissions and get high quality work. I ask people who have worked with me on trades, raffles, commissions and collaborations to leave a brief review here so that people can see that I'm good to work with and worth the time and/or money.

I also have another testimonials page from when I took commissions 5 years ago.

If you've been linked here by me after working with me, please answer these 5 questions:

1. Was your commission/collaboration/raffle/trade as good and high quality as you wanted it to be?

2. Was the commission/collaboration/raffle/trade process smooth? What about it would you change, if anything?

3. Were you satisfied with your level of service?

4. Overall, what was your commissioning/collaborating/raffle/trading experience out of 10 (1 being ungodly terrible and 10 being the most perfect thing ever)?

5. Would you work with me again if you wanted writing (a trade, commission, collaboration, or raffle)?
