Important Update: Changes Going Forward
Added 2024-11-09 17:28:42 +0000 UTCHello, my generous supporters. Thank you for choosing to read this message.
First off, I want to beg your forgiveness for my silence over the past month. I can’t excuse it, but let me offer some explanations. For one thing, I’ve been dealing with some health problems, some of which made if physically impossible to type for a while. Worry and doubt have also dried up some of my creative energy. I did end up having a new story idea that inspired me to get some writing done, but that just led to another problem, specifically having my work taken down for breaking content rules. Both on DeviantArt and Patreon, I have had to remove or heavily alter posts. Even Furaffinity seems to be less welcoming of certain topics now as well.
As you might imagine, I am discouraged and worried about being able to keep publishing my work online as I have done in the past. I have spent a long time going back and forth, trying to figure out how I want to proceed. For a while, I considered just making my own website where I could post all of my writing. I seriously did some research and made some preparations to put that plan into action. Then, this week, there were some major changes set in motion to the government of my country. Now, I have concerns about continuing to exist as “lostandwhatever” anywhere online. I have even been considering just scrubbing all traces of my work off of the various websites where I have published it, as well as closing my Patreon and my PayPal account. That might be my safest option if I want to avoid negative attention. Having thought it over, though, I don’t plan on leaving, not yet at least.
For now, I intend to carefully conform to content rules on all the websites where I post my work. If anything feels even borderline inappropriate, then I will avoid posting it. I want to keep my Patreon account because I use the money I make to support other Patreon creators. That means, of course, that many of the things I had been planning to write will now be canceled and other things will be significantly revised.
Note: this does not mean that any commissions currently in progress will be canceled, but they will most likely not be posted here.
I have started a discussion on this topic on my Discord, which you can access through a subscription on Ko-Fi or Patreon. I look forward to receiving your feedback there.
Here is the current list of writing that I plan to continue working on going forward:
Mary Christmas 2 (The Ending) - Christmas never has to end but this story does. This one could qualify as my first serious extended story. After all the years since starting it, it is finally time to finish the tale. I am committed to realizing the vision I had for it so long ago.
C&C: The Pen - (Mental Changes) - A magic pen allows you to control what other people are thinking just by writing new thoughts for them. Our protagonist (any gender) tries to use it to have some fun and maybe get a date until someone else gets ahold of the pen.
Chronological - (AR Story) - A character wakes up one day in their own body from when they were a child. The next day, they wake up as a teenager. The day after, a baby. It becomes clear that they have begun traveling through time, living their life out of order for some reason. Will they figure out how to get back to the present? (Not sure if I want a male or female protagonist for this one. Would be happy to try non-binary even. Let me know what you would prefer.)
Vacation Body: Dolly - (Doll TF, Inanimate, Shrinking Woman) For her vacation, a woman buys a spell that will shrink her to doll-size and occasionally transform her into an actual doll. She enjoys some play time with her boyfriend before being doll-napped by her little niece. Will she be able to get home again? What might her naughty nephew do to her before then? (This could become a series with different TFs.)
The Kinky Wizard’s Ring: New Story Arc - (Shortstack TF, Shrinking, TG) Mo has some new problems. She has been transformed into a little green-skinned goblin. She has also lost the magic ring after insulting the wizard. It looks as though she will be stuck that way until a little pixie appears at the bistro. It turns out that the pixie is a transformed person now stuck wearing the ring and wants to get rid of it. The wizard asked to be returned to Mo, but will he go back? And, what secrets does the pixie have to hide?
My Roommate Turned Into a Genie - (TG, Size, Age, Animal) A frat-boy type guy is transformed into a pretty blonde woman genie when his roommate tries to summon a genie to be his wish-granting slave. Despite his new body and supernatural powers, the genie dude keeps on acting and dressing like a total bro, more interested in video gaming and sports than warping the fabric of reality. He can grant wishes, if you offer him some beer, but watch out. He was never the smartest guy, and his wishes tend to go a bit wrong. What misadventures will they get into now?
The Next Story Idea Poll for December will be posted around November 18th. Anyone paying $3 or more can vote in the polls, and, if you have paid at least $5, you can add an idea to the next poll. Message me here or on Discord or send an email to me at lostandwhatever@gmail.com before the 18th.
If you have any other questions or comments to make, contact me through Discord (I am “lostandwhatever” there) or use one of the links below.
Thank you all!
