    Additional Updates

    What’s up fam- it’s your physically and temporally-absent boi here dropping back in.

    Brief updates on life- been working my tail off (doctoring is hard) and got married last month. I haven’t forgotten about you all. There’s still plenty of stories rattling around upstairs; it’s just a matter of finding time to put fingers to the keyboard.

    My Dudes

    I'm finishing up my last year of medical school and matched into my first choice residency (at the same hospital/school I'm at now, actually!); so I apologize for not posting any new content in... 13 months :fluttershyouch:

    My thoughts on Gen 5

    Watched it on opening day on Netflix.

    Pretty good, actually. Looking forward to writing new ponies to snug, and I bet the TV universe will be really interesting!

What it's like to be me · 10:23pm Mar 2nd, 2021

Fimfiction: *Exists*

Depraved Pornography: *At top of feature box*

Me: *Publishes E-rated story*

Commenters: "I think the fact that you joked about Pinkie Pie hugging Anon too tightly is DISGUSTING and a GROSS depreciation of bodily autonomy as a value."

there is no such thing as pinkie hugging too tightly!

People are...odd.

It's tough being a Fimfiction author that doesn't write disgusting porn. I feel you, my guy.

Wow. There's people being sensitive, then there is...this. Safe to say that being a writer isn't easy.

I took the story as a bit of fluff, with perhaps a bit of a lampoon of some of the sillier aspects of fannish behavior. I wouldn't claim to have any chops in literary criticism, so I won't insist on that interpretation. I'll just say that I enjoyed it, for what that's worth.

At the end of the day, though, you just consider the critiques, determine their accuracy and relevance, then act accordingly. Sometimes you miss, sometimes you hit off-center... And sometimes you just have to acknowledge that it's like the man said: "Some people would complain about being hanged with a golden rope..." :raritywink:

Don't let it get you down.

Sure we've got depraved pornography, but what about wholesome pornography? :rainbowhuh:

i hear you my man

Thank you!

I’m okay with legitimate critique, or just a simple “this story wasn’t my cup of tea”, but I keep writing these absurd premises (ie, Rarity sues you for not cuddling her) and people write comments at me like I’m encouraging sexual harassment or something :(

Apologies about the issues you've faced

Hey, *I'm* not reading ANY of that, but it's unfortunate that evidently so many do :fluttershbad:

5465275
...Huh, I just went and checked. It looks like the story at the top of the box is really typical clickbait. I'm so used to it being one of the main flavors of fetishized abuse for deranged folks to drool over, Eugh.

See, this is a fact.

Just blame furries. That's what I do.

As a guy who reads his fair share of "mature " material. I really enjoy your style of writing and that's why your one of the few authors I follow. Don`t let it get you down man.

*shrugs*

Don't forget, you are always, always, 100% at liberty to ignore comments you don't like.

5465283
I don't think furries would make accusation comments like that

5465224
No! you cant mean.. h-hoof holding?! :pinkiegasp:

5465393
Furries don’t make anything but art no one can unsee.

5465224
It happens; the whole reason that the monkeys on typewriters can write Shakespeare is because they'll also write everything else.

No different than regular porn art
Furries get more attention because they have one more extra fetish than they do

I relate, man. I write stories that are technically "teen" and tagged as "fetish", but I'm asexual and I'm not trying to be creepy about it, it's just meant to be cute.

I'm really happy SOMEONE thinks the same way, because the particular niche that I write about (tickling) is almost exclusively disgusting, non-consensual creep material. It's why I created this account in the first place, to write some stories that were... actually morally sound and loving and sweet.

It may not seem like much, but I needed to see this today, just to know I'm not the only one creeped out by a lot of this stuff. Thank you. /)
