Just when I said I was taking a break, BOOM. Another story. Short one though, focusing on the cute little ball of wool that I really really wish hadnāt been the villain, but itās a done deal now, so w/e. Anyway, have some Bellwether drama.Ā
Ten years have passed since Dawn Bellwether's incarceration. After a decade spent behind bars, the sheep has reached the end of her sentence and is released back into society. Upon picking up her old possessions, she receives an anonymous letter to go to another location, an apartment complex by the name of Grand Pangolin Arms. What could this mean for Bellwether? Who sent the letter, and what are their intentions? Could Bellwether be walking into a trap, or will she perhaps find a way to start a new life for herself after so much of it has passed her by?

Someone on AO3 wanted to know the chronological order of all my Zootopia stories, so I decided Iād make a timeline. So, starting at the earliest point in the timeline, we have:
-A Thing or Two About Being a Jerk (takes place during the movie actually)
-The Zootopia I Love
-Just Like Your Father
-It Could Have Been Worse
-By the Seat of Her Pants
-Burrowing Under Barriers
-A Howling Good Time
-Hereās to You, Mrs. Wilde and Son
-Love Stands With Pride (withĀ āI Give My All To Youā andĀ āOur Night, Our Rightā taking place during and immediately afterward)
-More Than a MuttĀ
-Knot a Good Time for ParentingĀ
As I make more stories, Iāll try to come back and update this with the ones that comes before/after/ in between. But yeah, there it all is in sequential order.Ā
Also, Iāve said this a few times before: I know not everyone likes to think of the raunchier stories taking place in the same continuity as the SFW stuff (namely the incest content; I can see how people might not like thinking that the same timelines in which Nick protests alongside Judy for interspecies marriage rights is the same one where he fucks his mother), so if readers want to omit certain stories from the timeline to suit their own personal tastes, thatās completely fine with me. Itās all non-canon anyway, so I donāt care what people want to do with it.Ā
Guys, the votes for the Zootpia strawpoll jumped up like crazy. As in, 374 votes total, when it was only at like, 50 or so a week ago. Iām also getting a private message that someone was monitoring the results and saw that one story was winning by about 30 votes, until the last 30 minutes of the cutoff and then another option got 80+ votes out of nowhere.Ā
If thatās true, somebody used a proxy or some method to rig the votes. I hope whoever did this realizes that they may have jeopardized the poll so I might not end up picking any of the top votes. So if you were hoping that Iād see a landslide vote for one story and think that many people really voted it, then itās kind of counter productive. Now I might not end up picking the first two at all just to be on the safe side; I might end up going for the 3rd place winner, just because thatāll be the safest option to make sure whoever cheated doesnāt get their way.Ā
Iām not making any promises as to what Iām going to do, but I just want to say to whoever cheated (if they cheated) that you just made things a lot more complicated and might have possibly screwed everyone including yourself out of getting the story you wanted. You also might have signaled to me that giving you guys the option to vote isnāt a good idea anymore, because some people out there canāt be trusted and are going to ruin it for everyone else. So, good job.Ā
It really kills me to say this, because I swear, if I ever go more than a month without publishing something, I will always get at least one comment sayingĀ āOh damn, I thought you were dead!ā or something, always always always without fail. I get that people donāt mean anything malicious by it, but I do find it a little irritating that people think that if Iām not publishing something weekly, that means Iām gone for good. No, itās not, itās just that I take a lot more time than other fic-writers do (which doesnāt seem like they take a lot of time in the first place), and I also sometimes need to push writing aside because of school. Really frustrating, but thatās the way it is sometimes.Ā
My plan is to step away from my stories for the rest of this semester, and once Iām done with finals, to get back to it immediately the day after. And the next story I want to do is one focusing on James Hopps Jr., Nick and Judyās son. Iāve only used him twice in my stories, one SFW one Explicit, and I really do want to develop his character a little more pastĀ āNick and Judyās sonā. So, thatās the next story in the agenda.Ā
As for the story after that? Thatās up to you guys. Yup, itās Strawpoll time! However, things are gonna be a little different. Youāre getting not one, not two, but THREE different polls, each with a different selection of stories. One of them will be Zootopia stories, the second will be MLP stories, and the third will be Misc. stories. Iāll give you a list of the story descriptions and the links to the polls after the read more break. The way this is going to work is, youāll vote for one story in each category (unless you have no interest in the other categories, then just vote for the ones that you do). At the end of November, Iāll pick the winner of each category and make a final strawpoll to pit the final four against each other to see which one story you all want me to write most.Ā
Also please be aware that most of these are working titles and will most likely be given better titles upon final publication

In the wake of an election with a surprising outcome, a new mayor takes office for the city of Zootopia. Among his many campaign promises against predators and international connections, the biggest threat to Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps as well as other mammals is his resolve to keep the right of marriage from couples of differing species. Judy knows the risks of making a stand for one's beliefs, but she's not going to hide anymore. In the remaining months before the marriage act is passed, Nick and Judy will make the most important decisions of their lives, and inspire the citizens of Zootopia to stand strong in the face of bigotry and intolerance.
This is it guys; this is the story Iāve been working on since February. Itās gonna be a 13-chapter epic that touches on all sorts of themes. Love. Drama. Family differences. Equal rights. Politics (yup, you read that right). Strap in guys, because I am about to take you on a ride... within the parameters of a G-rated story, of course.Ā
Fanfic Rant # Whatever, Iām Not Keeping Track Of How Many Of These I Do
āEepā is not a verb or a noun.
When a character is surprised, they do notĀ āeep in surpriseā. If itās a past tense phrase, you donāt write that theyĀ āeeped in surpriseā. If they are in the process of being surprised, they are notĀ āeeping in surpriseā.Ā
It is an interjection. It is in the same category asĀ āHey!āĀ āOuch!ā orĀ āWhoa!ā. If a character is surprised, you have them respond withĀ āEep!ā in quotes to indicate what they vocalized.Ā
It also not a noun. When a character is surprised, they did notĀ ālet out an eep in surpriseā. You wouldnāt write that theyĀ ālet out a hey in offenseā, becauseĀ āheyā is not a noun.Ā
To treat this made up exclamation as anything other than an interjection is cringeworthy. Stop it.Ā
āEepā is not a verb or a noun.
āEepā is not a verb or a noun.
āEepā is not a verb or a noun.
āEepā is not a verb or a noun.

Itās done. The final chapter was posted on Sunday. If you havenāt read it yet, go read it , because everything Iām about to say is related to it.Ā
Oh boy. What a ride this has been, more of a ride than I thought it was going to be, for more than one reason. Before I get into it, I want to thank everyone who has read, upvoted, commented, followed me and most importantly, those who have shared it with others. I also want to give thanks to Drummermax64 for all of his reviews on every chapter, and for being so easy to work with on helping to get it featured on ZNN. Additionally, I want to give another big thank you to WinterBunny for making the art that inspired the story, and kenalbus for giving me the rights to use the image youāve been seeing for months as cover art. And finally, big thanks to @steelquill for proofreading every chapter, and helping me out when I occasionally wasnāt sure what to do with the little details of the story; I donāt say it enough, but Quillās eyes help make my story just a little bit better than they usually would have been without him taking a fresh look at them.Ā
With that said, I feel like there are some things I need to address with what happened with releasing the story, and the strong response it got, and not in the good way (mostly because of the first chapter, not so much because of anything following it). That said, everything below the read more line is going to be a (mostly) unfiltered rant/ramble from yours truly concerning everything that had to do with me releasing the story and the flames it generated from so many people. Iāll try to keep it PG-13 since the story itself is SFW, but like I said, the filter is pretty much coming off here.Ā
Alright, so everyone knows how blown away I was by the Zootopia movie, I donāt need to go into that story, itās been said numerous times, same thing about how taken I was with the whole WildeHopps shipping thing and how badly I want it to be canon. For a couple months Iād been enjoying fanart SFW and NSFW alike, when out of nowhere on tumblr, I came across this.Ā
Do you ever come across a picture thatās not only beautiful, but also makes you thinkĀ āyou know what? This feels right.ā? Thatās what happened with this picture. I donāt think thereās a single detail out of place or that I disagree with here. The proposal is happening in the same place that Judy poured her soul out to Nick when sheād hurt him unintentionally, and sheās pouring her soul to him once again here. Judyās the one doing the proposing, because sheās the assertive type while Nick struggles to let his emotions out. Nickās tearing up because once that chord has been struck with him, itās hard for him to keep himself composed. I myself have always liked Nick for a number of reasons, but one of them was because I didnāt see him as much of a masculine male. Heās got a slim build, heās not overly courageous, and he has that emotionally frail side of his even if he keeps it hidden. With all that in mind, seeing Judy take whatās usually associated with the maleās role and proposing to him just made my heart leap, and I knew I had to write something about it.Ā
Thing is, I didnāt want to just write a one-shot chapter and be done with it. Those are fun to write, and they can sometimes do well, but more often than not theyāre appreciated for maybe a week and then forgotten forever. I didnāt want that to happen; I felt like this scene deserved to be part of something bigger and that it deserved more spotlight. So, I started thinking of a bigger story to attach it to. Something with ups and downs and some drama and some heartache only for these two to help lift the other up when theyāve been beaten down.
To me, it felt like interspecies discrimination was the way to go. Yes, I know that Bucky and Pronk are technically not the same species, and thereās comics that have depicted some mammals asking other species of mammal out, so some people are saying itās not an issue in the city. Sure, thatās a possibility; the other possibility is that some mammals are okay with it, while others arenāt, and there might not be anything the city government can do to stop interspecies couples from dating but they havenāt updated their laws to allow them to marry. So many what-ifās and loopholes and technicalities that havenāt and might not ever be answered by Disney (unless they just stun us all and make that the message of the sequel) that I thought it was a fine subject to approach.Ā
So, movie hype is in full swing, everybody loved the message that Zootopia had to teach about prejudice and politicians using fear to keep those in their groups united against groups they donāt like, racism is bad, yaddah yaddah yaddah. What does America do?
They elect the guy who wants to build a wall across Mexico, ban Muslims from entering the U.S, and also ban transsexuals from joining the military (oh, but heās FINE with gay marriage! Isnāt that the ONLY thing that matters???) Good job, guys. Iām sure thatās what everyone who worked on the movie was aiming for you to do. Way to go.Ā
So yeah, that obviously upset me, and surprisingly enough, it upset a lot of other people too. So I thought to myselfĀ āhey, Iāve got this fanfic in my queue thatās about Nick and Judy overcoming prejudice to not only get what they want, but what a lot of other mammals want too. If theyāre engaging in a political scuffle, it only makes sense to have a political villain at the head of it all, right?ā Also I wanted to be topical, and since I was still feeling betrayed by my country, I thought I could be both topical and let off some steam by making the villain of my story be an obvious caricature of The Annoying Orange. I figured that since there are a VAST amount of people who hate Drump, that might get a laugh out of people, even if it also ticked off a lot of others. So, I spent Jan-May pouring my blood, sweat and tears into this story, which even before it was done being edited and revised into the final version, I was damn proud of. It was the longest story Iād completed (sorry Scales fans, that story is pretty much dead), and I thought Iād spun a neat little tale about conflict, the struggle to overcome it, and a happy ending, but mostly shipping moments galore. I knew I was going to get some flack for throwing the Crybaby in Chief under the bus, but I figured itād be pretty small and not amount to much.Ā
The response I got?
Ho-ly-Crap. Youād have thought I cut off his head and played basketball with it, people were so angry (I mean, NOT angry, just very very vocalĀ about howĀ ānot angryā they were xD).Ā
For more detail on the heated responses I got, check outĀ āDumb Fanfic Author Reads Salty CommentsāĀ
Look, I get what some people are saying, that my character Remus Trunk isnāt anĀ āaccurate portrayalā of Donald Trump. I understand that, and this is going to shock some of you, but I wasnāt going for that. I had no intention of making Remus so accurate of a portrayal to Donald that you could confuse the two of them for each other. All I wanted was to throw in a few likenesses that readers could figure out who I was parodying. And given the fact that so many people responded along the lines ofĀ āhurrrrr, thatās not what DONALD TRUMP would say!ā then you obviously understood who I was referencing, so mission accomplished for me!Ā
People acted like I was somehow hurting... something... I donāt know what... by posting this fic with a caricature of Trump. I think they forgot that we live in a country where hundreds of comedy shows constantly make their own parodies of him because they have a right to do so, and they know people enjoy it. Yeah, people on the Red side sure like to complain about how PC-liberals are taking away their free speech to the point they canāt even talk, but you say one word about their president-senpai?Ā āHey man, shut up! You canāt say that! Thatās not fair! Ugh, youāre so mad!ā
Dude, your candidate won, what more do you want? You want a medal for it and a pat on the back that you made the right choice? People are going to voice that they disagree with you: get over it.Ā
Now before everyone starts thinking Iām just lashing out at people who disagree with me, Iād like to point out there were more than a few people who voiced their criticism in a composed and level headed way. They said to me something along the lines ofĀ āI think itās unfair that youāre not representing that there are some level headed people on the opposing sideā orĀ āIām not really interested in reading politics in fanfiction so this isnāt up to my tastesā. And thatās fine. Iām more than okay with people voicing their disagreements with me as long as they arenāt doing it with a tone that sounds like theyāre verbally flipping me off.Ā
Regardless, publishing this story showed me that the Zootopia fandom, like every other fandom, indeed has its dark side. Right around my first chapter being published was when I noticed that the fandom was throwing a tantrum over Borbaās comicĀ āI Will Surviveā. I mean, the lengths that people went to to trash Borba and try to discredit everything about that comic was baffling. Yeah, I read the comic, and it was very depressing, and it doesnāt line up with MY headcanon of what Nick and Judy would do in that situation (Nick actually yes, but not Judy so much) but you know what? Itās not my story, and itās not my headcanon. And apparently itās not Borbaās headcanon either. Heās still a wildehopps shipper, even though that one story showed them breaking up. He wrote it because he wanted to try something different. Heās not trying to make a continuing timeline or anything; heās just writing and drawing out ideas because he wants to express them. Itās called being creative.Ā And thatās what I did too: I had an idea, wanted to express it, and thatās what I did. I donāt think we should be crucified for bringing our ideas to the public. We can be criticized sure, itās healthy if presented in a constructive way. But if all youāre giving us isĀ āI donāt like it!ā orĀ āThis makes me (not) angry!ā then itās just proving to us that thereās a portion of the Zootopia fandom that really needs to grow up.Ā
So, do I have any plans to make other fanfics with caricatures of politicians I donāt like? Nope, not that I can think of. Iāve got a TON of story outlines all piled up on one another, but none of them have anything to do with politics. But thatās just because I havenāt seen any reason to do such a thing yet. I have not been intimidated by any of the man-children who pitched a fit in my comments section trying to dissuade me from talking mean about their president-senpai, so if I happen to be stricken with an idea where some political content might help the story Iām trying to tell, I am sure gonna do that, and Iām going to feel ZERO regret for doing it. Keep in mind, Iām not some rebel trying to start a political uprising: Iām just trying to tell some stories and entertain readers, while also improving my own craft. Even though these are fanfics, I do take this craft very seriously, and I want to keep improving my storytelling abilities. Iāve been doing it for about five years now, and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon (I might have to stop writing fanfics some day in the next couple years, but I seriously want to keep writing SOMETHING for the rest of my life).Ā
WITH ALL THAT OUT OF THE WAY, you guys probably want to know about coming stories in the future. I was going to do a little blurb about it here, but I felt it better to give that topic its own post. To read up on what Iāve got planned for the coming months, read Plans For The Future (Ramble)
Other than that, just want to say thanks to everybody who follows me and reads my crap, hope you enjoy more of it in the future. Peace out. :)Ā
