Hello all!

There has been a development with what is going on in my country. More social media sites have fallen victim to the new online policy, and I am concerned whether or not furaffinity will be accessible in the future. Because I cannot be certain with that, I want to ensure that I can continue to share content and store it somewhere. So, I have created a discord server with all my stories and art.

In this server, I will use it to advertise raffles, story YCH's, updated on future upcoming projects and more. Already the latest story ych included a piece featuring Alex, so expect plenty more. It will be wear I advertise stuff like that moving forward.

There will be sections in the server for all members to socialise, share theirs and others content. I hang out on the voice chat regularly and in text, so it would be great to really get to know you wonderful peeps. Already the server has been going strong for the last month, and man I couldn't be happier. We welcome anyone 18 and over so long as you respect the rules. If you are anxious, we will do what we can to support and make sure everyone has the opportunity to socialise, be included and encouraged. We support one another! 🤍

This is a 18+ server. This is a personal server where I will upload all my content, host raffles etc. It is nothing related to the writers server I advertised previously.

Hey everyone,

This was never ever a post I thought I'd make, nor one I write with anything close to smile. If anything, my stomach is knots and I'm distraught, and I really hope I am overthinking this whole situation.

Some of you may have heard that the UK is introducing a policy that will enforce social media users to provide photographic identification of their age or bank details to access adult content. I am going to be blunt, asking people to give personal information to untrustworthy sites is beyond stupid. Bluesky has announced who will be handling that information and it is a company that has had known data breaches in the past...how encouraging, right?

It gets worse.

Outside bluesky, there has been no communication from other social media pages on how they will handle the new law. Worse case, and I worry this may happen, is that any page I upload my art and stories, or even talk to people on (including furaffinity, discord, telegram) will enforce these changes. If that does happen, it is with the heaviest heart that you lovely peeps won't see much around anymore until this policy is removed. Not for second do I want to do this, to write this, but I need to give you all the heads up if I suddenly disappear online.

This fandom has given the opportunity to meet some of the most remarkable people I have ever met. They've had my back, they've helped me laugh, smile, picked up me (no macro joke intended), and let me lean on them. This fandom has given me so much love, helped me feel comfortable with being gay, and helped encourage me to have self-confidence in who I am. It has given me lord knows how many beautiful memories, and so many beautiful, beautiful people.

Then there is writing. Man, when I used to write as a kid, my old teacher would tell me that I should pick a more realistic career. Yeah, that knocked my confidence, and although I didn't imagine I would starting furry stuff, I did. A lot of my friends told me to do commissions with my content, and I always turned that down because I didn't want my stuff to be out of reach, I just wanted to do something I was passionate in as a hobby. Heck, I had one novel (Across The Pond) and another, larger one, in the works that was going to launch my setting (A Matter of Perspective). A project I have dedicated my time and money to for seven months. The reason why I mention this, is that if these changes come into place, my motivation for writing after finishing my book and the two trades I had planned will end. If this policy really does affect what I think it could, I would drop down the pen in writing, probably once and for all. Never did I once think that would be a possibility anytime soon, but this might be how things unfold.

The only work around I have, and that is if I can use Discord, a discord sever for the sole purpose of uploading all my art and stories. That might be the only thing I can think of at the moment, apologies I have not been thinking clearly as of late.

Admittedly, I am not someone who likes to openly ask for help. In this instance, with everything going on in my personal life, and now this policy potentially jeopardising my pathway to connect with people who help lift my spirits, yeah I would like a hug at this moment. Again, I may be overthinking this, and I really really hope that is the case. However, with the lack of clarity on how things will go from the 25th July, all I can say is that if I disappear online, know that I am so so immensely thankful for EVERYTHING this fandom has done for me. If I am limited to discord, or telegram for that matter, I will create a discord server as the last remaining route I have to connect this with gorgeous and lovely fandom moving forward. This may be temporary, I just want to hold onto that same warm feeling this fandom helps give me and continue to pursue writing as a hobby as I fear these changes may affect whether I continue as a macro micro writer.

If I do end up on discord only, I will create a discord server for my content (and of course to socialise, because hell yeah, I am still gonna yap and rant as per normal and say all sorts of silly comments) and ask some close friends to help spread the word on my behalf. I will also continue to oversea the macro micro writers server for anyone who likes reading macro micro stuff.

I hoped to contribute positively to the furry fandom and help make it a better place. All I can say to every one of you is thank you so much. Thank you to each of you for the support you have given me, continue to give me, and just overall...thank you for welcoming me.

Have an absolutely wonderful weekend, every single one of you, and stay awesome!

Thank you for reading this! Let's hope that these changes won't be as severe, I would rather say my peace on the matter and say what might happen if I go silent online. I wish I could every single of you right now until I get more clarity on the matter, because admittedly, yeah I do need a hug right now.

Hey everyone! I don't usually share updates like this, but I have just hit the 40,000-word mark and completed the first draft of Part 1, so I thought it would provide an update.

I have not uploaded many stories lately because I have been allocating my writing time to the sequel of Across The Pond. While I did consider, and put plans together to do a sequel, after the immense supports and compliments people sent to for the first it, it encouraged me to do it even more.

The release date is unknown, especially since I am halfway, and have only done the draft for Part 1 of 2. But, I thought I'd let people know that I can confirm there will be more content for my setting. What I was also say, to those who have supported me during this project, I cannot thank you enough!

The synposis will remain secret until a cover has been drawn by an artist, which I have yet to decide who. If anyone has artist recommendations, do let me know too!

I really hope you all enjoy the next piece, and what will be the LONGEST story I have written to date.

So, I present to you, the official confirmation that the sequel to Across The Pond is in the works!

If anyone has not read the original, I have attached both the Furaffinity link below:

Hello all!

It has been a long time since I have done a journal, and I had hoped to make this specific post yesterday but I was unable too. This week, from the 12th to 18th of May, is Mental Health Awareness Week.

The aim of this week is to bring people together to focus on helping one another boost our mental health, and this year the theme is 'Community'. And man, what a community we have in the furry fandom. One filled with such extraordinary people from various parts of the world. Some I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting and others I hope to one day meet.

To celebrate the power and importance of community when supporting Mental Health, either with a DM, a social media post, or tagging a friend, send one or more of the following:
- Check in! Send a 'Hello' to someone, because I am confident we our days get that much brighter when someone reaches out to you.
- A compliment! Send a complimentary message to someone. It doesn't have to be warranted, but a just because I wanted to kinda thing.
- A happy memory! Take a walk down memory lane. Recall either a time you spent together at a convention, a call, a game, or even got a commission together.
- A hug! Big or small or same size, send them a hug their way.
- Listen to what they have to say, whether good or bad. Sometimes just having an ear goes a long way.

We are all part of such a great community, so let us show our support and love for all those we hold dear. Everyone has their good and bad days, but that is how this life goes. We cannot have the good without the bad. Having the bad days does not define you, but what does define you as a person is your resilience to get through them. You are all loved and no one here is alone.

Have a FANTASTIC day all of you sweethearts!

2025 is here! And now that I have a kinder writing queue, I thought I'd advertise my story request form!

Entering it doesn't guarantee I'll write the idea, but in times where I have nothing planned or writers block, I will look to this for inspiration!

Thank you!!!

So, we are halfway into my Across The Pond novel, and I'm just stunned at the reception it has received from everyone. Whether it is FA comments, Twitter posts/sharing, or even server comments and private messages. The amount of positive feedback and compliments I have received is no where near what I expected. The enthusiasm and excitement I've seen from people is exactly what I wanted to create when doing this piece. Never did I imagine my first novel would be this well received, I just wish I could hug you all.

When I first started this piece it was to distract myself from certain events, and it did. But, I was hesitant about whether or not I should share it because you never know how your content will be received. With the support of three people, I created my very own setting and novel after aspiring to do it for 3 years, but never being confident enough to attempt it. I guess every creator is their own critic all. And now, it's out there, and I'm just so thrilled people have enjoyed it!

I wanna hear what people think of it so far!!! And, would you like to see more novels and short stories in this setting?

BTW, thank you all so so much for showing your support and praise! It means the world! 🤍🫂

After reading every comment and every message over the last three weeks, I am lost for words at how my first novel has been received. I couldn't ask for a better group of supporters and friends who have encouraged and messaged me their excitement for more. Thank you to everyone who sent me wonderful comments. It has meant the world to me. After 3.5 months of work, my aspiration to release a novel and my own setting has come fruition.

To keep you all up to date, here is the release schedule! Let me know what you've thought about it so far in the comments.

Chapter 1:
7th September

Chapter 2:
14th September

Chapter 3:
22nd September

Chapter 4:
29th September

Chapter 5:
6th October

Chapter 6:
13th October

Chapter 7:
20th October

Chapter 8:
25th October

Epilogue:
25th October

Wow, 1,500 watchers! I am lost for words. There are no words I can think of that convey how much I truly appreciate the support from you all.

After joining the fandom and releasing my first story 3 years ago, I never would have expected to be here surrounded with so much love and support. It has meant the absolute world to me to meet such phenomenal people, make awesome memories, and make wonderful friends. No matter how difficult things get, I am so so fortunate enough I have people to lean back on to pick me up.

Gosh, thank you! All of you! I cannot wait to share my upcoming novel that is still being tweaked ready for launch. Once that is released, it will be the start of my own setting where I will write more slice of life and wholesome content to expand this world.

You all have such a wonderful day, and again, thank you all! 🤍

It has been three months since I started planning and writing my first ever novel, and now the complete draft is complete. It is time to review, edit, and refine the various scenes and characters included. Once all is in order, it will be released chapter by chapter on a weekly basis to debut my own official setting. This is a milestone I have been determined to do since starting out as a writer. I hope you all enjoy when it comes out.

Wow, 3 years from today in this beautiful fandom and I just cannot believe it.

When I first came across this fandom, and fur affinity in particular, it was during a rough period in my life where I needed to write wholesome macro/micro stories as a way to ease everything that was going on. I came across some phenomenal writers along the way who were not just my inspirations, but some have become good friends of mine.

After I had my strength, I pursued to write my own works. And if you had told me then that in 3 years you would have 148 pieces, along with an audience who not only encourages you but supports you, I wouldn't have believed you. It has blown me away how much has changed in these three years. Not only have I gained more confidence in my writing, I am working on my own novel and world.

Outside writing, I cannot do an anniversary post without also thanking every single person who has been a dear friend and stuck by me since the days we met. I wish I could name drop every single person who's been a dear friend, but I don't think I have that much time in the day. So, instead, I will write a message in this journal to say thank you to them.

To those who've been there, you are not just the reason I smile and laugh, but are the reason I love myself, the reason I have grown in confidence and self esteem over the last 3 years. Words cannot begin to describe the level of appreciation I have for these exceptional fluffs, but I am confident they know who they are.

I really just want to say a huge thank you to you all, it has been a brilliant 3 years and I look forward to making plenty more memories along the way. It is not honestly a great pleasure to be part of this community, but to be accepted and welcomed by such a large group.

With a big hug from this arctic wolf, thank you all 💙🤍

All the best, and have a lovely day, Lupus x

Hello everyone! It's the weekend!!!!!!

So, for the last month and a bit, I have been working on my first ever novel that will feature three close friends of mine and my wolf sona. Now that I am almost approaching the half way stage in this project, I wanted to announce what is on the horizon. It will be the start of my own setting that I will work on over time, but this will lay the foundation to a potential second one focused on Lupus' lore (that remains up in the air). As it stands there are 33,000 words, 72 pages, and 5 chapters all written, drafted, and some are even edited. The story is set in a world close to our own where macros and micros co-exist.

The plot:
Due to the UK's current legislation on mixed size relations, Lupus was starved of the opportunity to interact with the larger than life beings in person. The closest the wolf came to engaging with a macro was online with his raccoon friend in the states, along with his partner and close friend. The four of them were a tight circle that grew closer over time. Soon, after a long while of interacting online, Lupus decided to spend two weeks in the state of Illinois, which included a weekend of camping. An entire weekend in the Shawnee National Forest with his two normal sized friends and one 35 meter tall macro femboy raccoon.

Who would be interested to read this?

The current order of upcoming story projects. This will be regularly updated:

1. Trade with  Smoodi
In a distant realm that overseas existence, Luke finds amusement in using people as pawns in his own personal game of chess. Every once in a blue moon he would be confronted an opponent who possessed a profound grasp of the game. However, as the game progressed, they would later learn that each move made would translate to real-life consequences for the people under the wolf's control and themselves.

2. Collaboration with  rubixcubicle
Unknown at this stage, but hyped!!!

3. Trade with Blaze
Unknown at this stage, but discussions are in progress!

Something I thought I buried years ago has just come back to haunt me, and I don't know what to do. I never want to burden those I love in the fandom so it might be best if I disappear for a bit. I want my friends to be happy, but I've learned that it is the case if Im not around.

I am so tired of being a burden or problem with those I love in this place, but the last time I faced this situation, I suffered a panic attack in 2022. I thought it was over, but it's come back once more. And, I don't want those I care about to be hurt because of me being weak.

They all deserve so much better than I can offer. This fandom is meant to be a community that encourages positivity and love, and I don't think I can offer that anymore. Not only have I wrestled the idea of leaving the fandom, but it would have been permanently.

I am doing everything I can to get the help I need, but whenever I see my friends in the fandom, I am reminded that they are better without me around. And maybe it's for the best that I disappear, because they don't deserve my issues, they deserve better.

I really loved my friends to pieces, I really really did. They mean everything to me. The love, the kindness, and support. It's meant the world. But they all deserve better than me, and that much is clear. I have no idea how my situation will go over the next coming days tbh.

But if things get worse, I don't think I could deal with bringing my friends into it, and that it's best to border up forever and fade. I just never thought I would have to deal with this again. It was meant to be over. Finished. Closed. But, I'm here again, and it hurts.

I just wish there wasn't a distance, I just wish I could hug my friends. It sounds stupid, but I wish I meant something. I wish I was worth remembering. I wish I mattered.

To bring together writers of various ability, along with anyone who enjoys reading a good story whether SFW or NSFW. Please be aware that this server is ONLY 18 and over.

Now that we started 2024, as I mentioned, gift stories will be almost rare from now on. It got to a point where I couldn't continue to produce stuff for others to the extent I desired, and it left me with little to no time for my own stuff. So, instead, moving forward I will focus on my own content and drafting my own world setting. Equally, I will be aiming to learn to draw to produce pieces to go alongside my stories (fingers crossed).

That brings me on to something I desired to do as a writer. When I first joined the fandom, I released an incomplete novel called "The Prophecy". However, I wish to try writing a novel again, and this time using the knowledge I've built the last 2.5 years, approach it carefully. Whether it be world building, characters, plot etc. I want to construct a piece that I can be proud of. As a writer, writing a novel and world of my own is something I've aspired to do, and it's a challenge that I want to succeed in. There is no time frame, but I'm going to be learning to draw and also draw a cover to go alongside. This is not absolute, but an aspiration and I want to see interest in this.

I already had in mind to do a romance story featuring a macro nerd and micro athlete. I like the dynamic of that, and if people like it, I might draw scenes in the story. There of course will be more finer details and plots that have yet to be worked out, and whether it is sfw/NSFW. Regardless though, it will encourage and embrace the wholesome elements that I came across when first finding the fandom. If I can do this, I would feel more confident as a writer, but I'm also intrigued to see what people would think about this kind of story.

Let me know your thoughts, it would be much appreciated! I do really hope to give this a go.

First off I want to say a happy new year to all of you, and I truly hope that 2024 is a good one for everyone! Last year certainly offered a fair share of challenges and hardships for people, and I can only ask that this year is smooth sailing.

Secondly, I want to dedicate this post to announcing a change in how I will handle my writing moving forward. Over the last two years I have received immense support, love, and been around such amazing people. I have known such kindness before the fandom, and as a result I offered to write gift stories for those I love. That still stands today, but that number has grown and grown.

I am afraid I cannot keep up, and believe I have put myself in a position where I have over promised and let people down. I will own that, and I will apologize for that. I will treat this as a learning curve because I don't want to let my friends down or hurt them, they don't deserve it. I'll admit I felt if I offered a gift story and wrote one, that was my way of articulating my appreciation. However given I started this year with my first full time job, the people I lost, and unstable circumstances I couldn't deliver most of what I promised. Thus I will be undoing any gift story I promised that is not complete or started, because I just can't deliver it, and that is my fault. So much happened in my personal life that pushed me in a corner, and at the time I wrote for those who helped me in my time of need as appreciation. If I could write for everyone, god forbid I would in a heartbeat, instantly! Heck, I'm learning to draw to expand my ability to do gifts. Words cannot convey my self-frustration and guilt for doing this, but I just can't start the new year with this guilt.

Therefore, unless I do commissions, I will priortise trades and my own content as opposed to gifts. This is not a decision I take lightly, nor one I wished to make, but I never want to hurt anyone. It is for the sake of my mental health and for the respect of my friends. So, the gift stories will be extremely limited moving forward, but no longer a constant in my gallery. I accept full responsibility, but this is for the best for my healths sake because I have deteriorated and been broken for months, and I just need to find another way to show my appreciation and hope that my conversations are enough.

I love you all, lupus x
💙🤍💙🤍

Hello everyone! Now that we are approaching Christmas and the end of 2023, I thought I would send this appreciation post.

Firstly, I want to start by saying how much I have enormously appreciated the endless support you have all given me both as a writer and as a person. Each of you, each of the wonderful people I have met along the two years in the fandom have been an utter joy to have. And, to the 160+ followers on my channel, the 1.7k on Twitter, and 1.1k on FA. So, thank you ever so much for that.

Secondly, I am not sure how many stories I have rolled out this year, but it has been great fun bringing characters and ideas to life. Equally, it has also included the release of a story request form, which has already gained nearly 40 ideas. Hopefully, when things calm, I'll try to sort through them.

Thirdly, I have started to learn how to draw in hopes to get art pieces regularly in my own stories, but that's more of an aspiration at the moment. Fingers crossed 🤞.

Outside all that, I just want to thank every single one of you again for the endless support. And I just wanted to ask these questions out of sheer curiosity.

1. What was your favourite story that I have released this year?
2. Which story would you want to see a sequel or third part to in 2024?
3. Is there any plot or theme you wish for me to write more of in 2024?

Everyone, have an amazing Christmas and holidays. Enjoy your time with friends and loved ones. And to finish off, a big thank you and warm hug from me 🤍💙🤍💙

Today is the last day the raffle is open, winners will be announced tomorrow. If anyone wishes to join the raffle, please feel free to comment here or DMs if you want the link to the telegram chat. All entries are done on the story tele channel. Good luck, it ends at midnight GMT

https://twitter.com/LupusKintsugi/s.....E6Rfg&s=19

It's live! After several people recommended it, I thought I'd open a request form for your story ideas featuring your sonas. Just fill out the form, all stories will be picked at random. Stories will be between 1,000 to 3,000 words in length, and yes free. Request form link has been added to my fa main page. All entries must be 18 or over, no exceptions. Looking forward to seeing the ideas!

As today is Mental Health Day, I wanted to ask everyone who sees this to do the following;

1. Tag a friend in the comment with a compliment to them
2. Comment what you enjoy about the fandom
3. And let's have some self love, put something you like or enjoy doing.

Everyone here could use a hug every now and again, and it is important we all be there for one another in our times of need. We are a fandom, a community for a reason, and despite our goofiness we got to be there for one another.

Please, all of you, have a wonderful and lovely day. Today, do something or anything you really love doing and just love being your wonderful self!

💙🤍💙🤍

Hello everyone, just logged into fa and noticed I hit 1,000 watchers today and I am completely speechless. Never I had imagined I would hit this milestone, and I am truly appreciative of all the support people have given me over the last year on here. There is no way I can give back to you all, there's too many of you XD. But I have noticed I am close to 1,500 followers on Twitter. So, with that said, I will be hosting a raffle soon and if I hit 1500 followers before the end of September, there is a potential bonus prize/entry for this raffle.

Also, I do have a telegram channel that is 18+ only, which is where I'll be updating people on stories rather than Twitter. This will be the platform where I shall advertise the raffle and where entries will be submitted.

Regardless of that, I am really appreciate all of the immense kindness, support, and love people have given me. Thank you all so so much! I wanna hug you all so damn much right now! 🤍💙🤍💙

Curious question though, what story is your favourite? Gives me an idea of what themes to focus on or add moving forward.

Hello there, just saw I hit 975 and I am surprised at how quick it was from 950!! I could not imagine hitting 1000 before 1 year on this FA account, but we are so close. Thank you so much for the amazing support!!!

I realize I haven't been around as much as I want to be, and through the support of close friends I am feeling so much better. Progress still needs to be made, but I hope to get there in time and will do my best to heal. Just a lot happened that I had to take care of, and there was little breathing space I had to deal with it let alone make time for me. But I'm getting there.

Still, I want to say thank you so much for all the friends who have supported me along the way. Who have offered their dms, time, and voice calls to help I couldn't be more appreciative to have people who do that. It meant the world.

Alongside that, I do want to say thank you so much for all the support I have gotten on my content. Never imagined I would have 950 watchers on fa, let alone in less than a year. Would be such a stretch, but let's see if we can hit 1000 by October 1st. Till then, thank you for everything.

I will sadly not host a raffle for 1,000 watchers as I am close to 1,500 followers on Twitter and may hit that at a time where I can commit to a raffle without eating into my time.

Thank you for everything!
💙🤍
