What makes your fiction worth reading at least once in a lifetime?

[empalgepuk]

Hope.

 

[laccoff_mawning]

It's... at least sometimes funny? That's about all it's got going for it.

 

[LeilaniOtter]

Maybe because my work is so unique. There's not a lot of "furry" authors here (as a recent Google search proved) and it's a little disheartening sometimes. I hope more will come; I've invited some of my best connections in the fandom to come check this place and post their work, so maybe furries will start to make more of an impact soon.

I used to be furry back in the eighties and 90's. Furrymuck, Tapestries, I even have some pretty good scenes stored with a certain surprisingly famous writer that played a tigress in furryspace named Kittiara...

But the 'gay porn' and 'fetishist' crowd got more and more aggressive, to the point that if you even politely turned down same-sex interactions, you got banned or stuck in jail for a while for 'being a bigot'. (A certain centaur herm got me imprisoned TWICE for telling him I simply wasn't interested, since apparently my scenes were very very popular) after that, well, I left, killed off bryaugh, dervish, shelbie, and pirie, and never went back again.

It didn't help after the great furry art ripoff, and Brian O'Connell ripped me off for over two grand. I was just.... done with the whole crew.

I remember Kittiara well. And I was on Furrymuck and Tapestries for years, until WhiteWizard decided to be a complete asshole and banned me over a complete misunderstanding.

B'OConnell passed away this summer. As I heard things told to me, he really wasn't well-liked by anyone. That's a horrible way to leave a legacy. And I'm sorry you couldn't cope with everything that happened. The furry fandom HAS changed, I agree, and not necessarily for the better. I think I stay because I've been at it too long, and I think I'll leave a pretty good legacy behind. *^^*

I put all my heart into it. I think that makes it worth it.

 

[VKnives]

I tried my best to create a romantasy with the focus on psychological and tactical realism in a fantasy RPG style setting. I feel the storyline is less predictable and the relationship is believable in the sense that they like each other for more reasons than being "the two attractive named characters."
If you like evil love interests, cute witches, martial arts, and happy sex, it might be fun.

 

[V8485]

Please explain the reasons, whether it's the originality of the story, the uniqueness of the premise, thematic depth, characterization, worldbuilding, style, etc. The compelling reasons why your work deserves to be read at least once in a lifetime by potential new readers.

Hm, what would I say for Devil Been Isekai?

If I were to say one thing about why Devil Been Isekai is worth reading, it's an investigation into man's nature, with unflinching determination.

Also the main character is fun to read.

 

[Corty]

The fact that I have endings for my books.

 

[CrimsonGenius]

Teenagers with attitude get elemental powers, fight monsters. Go to a different world to fight more monsters, rogues, and an ancient demon. Not the greatest once in a lifetime story,

 

[Nekyo]

Speaking from my shōnen heart >.<

Voidlight should be experienced because this is singularly the most epic enemy to allies story that I could have possibly written, of semi elemental forces of nature, life and death, accursed souls destined to fight for centuries to be expelled into a human world where they can solve their difference and somehow find something more in each other despite everything!

I have a world building that allows for all kinds of ghosts and gods in folklore to exist and be part of the story filled with lots of fights, and a extremely hard power system based on a logic around the collective unconscious as manifestation of every humans' spiritual energy.

All while aiming to deliver the most cathartic climax finale of all time!

According to me nyehehe

I have a huge talent that comes to light when I wield a pen. Is that not what the thread about? Lots of people should subject themselves, repeatedly, to getting drilled by my magnificent yet blunt verbiage. The way I subtly handle my gigantic talent to slide in and out of a delicate fiction is noteworthy.
Or is something more subtle? I can handle the occasional pregnant pause after the story climax.

Sex jousting competition.

Yep, I remember Jasonafex's career ended because he made a comic (Servants of the Serpent) that had male/male and male/female and the entire furry community turned on him, making fake rumors to get him cancelled (him being a jerk, I believe; him molesting animals needs a bit of proof considering the seriousness of the accusation and the fact that no one was talking about it before the comic "Servants of the Serpent" makes it highly suspect). His fans/haters could tolerate him making comics that were gay and straight but could not tolerate a comic that had both things in them.

There was once a time when people could enjoy colorful comics about many anthro species without agendas being pushed into all of their media.

The furry community was always looking for an excuse to put on their fightin' gloves.

 

[Sylver]

I rarely read a good smut story or monster girl story that takes itself seriously, so I wrote one myself!

It's about monster girls (specifically cat girls), a magical fantasy world, and physical affection, or as the sophisticated say, smut with a story two isolated strangers from opposite worlds develop a relationship together, only to discover that the secrets of their pasts catch up to them, challenging their views, beliefs, and mettle.

It's a Medieval World of Fantasy, full of adventure, romance, and mystery! Join us into a tale of Magic and Monsters!

 

[sage61]

It has a dragon mommy who captures the main character, frees her from suffering, and makes her part of the hoard. If that's not enough to get you intrigued, then nothing will.

Oh wow. This reminds me of the novel Dealing with Dragons written by Patricia C. Wrede, from the Enchanted Forest Chronicles series. You can give this book a try if you like headstrong, tomboyish, smart FL.

Three words: BL Cultivation Smut.
(Actually that's technically four, but maths isn't my forte, which is why I write).

Mine's got a badass sword-and-buckler-wielding saintess that kicks butt and frees slaves.

Does she stab fluffy butts?
