2025 could have gone a little bit better writing wise for me. I'm a little disappointed in myself that I didn't get more stories out this year. Some of it was outside my control with the reconstruction, but I think I could have done at least a little better. It seems to be the odd-numbered years give me issues. But in the end, I'm just using it as fuel to do better next year.

The most viewed story was: Denoncandy, Gym Buddies

The most favored story was: Minotaur Pill

The most commented on story was: Vitamin S

The story that surprised me the most in it's reaction was: Stars Aren’t Born.
This story was a lot more tame than my average TF story. I felt good about the story and was happy the commissioner was pleased, but honestly surprised by it's reception.

The story I had the most fun writing would have to be, well it's a tie this year.
Mixed Blessings, Chapter 16
After working with my good friend and second-ever commissioner,  journeymanic, for four years on this long form slow burn TF story, It was an amazing, if a tad bitter sweet, feeling to bring the story to a close. Especially when writing the epilogue I had a big smile to my face as I was working on it.
Farm Girls
When I was first given the story details for this year's Thanksgiving Raffle I wasn't sure how I was going to pull it off. But one I got to writing the twins it just came naturally. It was a blast writing the dialogue. If given a chance I'd love to delve more into the world in the future.

The character I created that I am most proud of is: Lady Lucrezia Cason / Lyrvarrith
From the story Dragon Mayor. She was just so much fun to write! Mixing that classic dragon ego with someone who doesn't follow tradition. I don't know if Lyrvarrith will ever make a return in the continuing story, but I'm so happy I got to create her.

With the new year arriving in less than three days, I'm getting ready to open up my first batch of commissions for 2026. I'm looking forward to another year of writing for you all. I wish you all a safe and happy New Year!
