I used to SL all the fucking time, but then drama. Last time I logged in, literally nothing rendered despite my computer being technically overpowered for it.

Was it still in the early days of mesh? Cause things took FOREVER then cause nobody knew how to optimize their mesh yet. Nowadays the big name creators know how to get it done right so things render much faster. 

I’m waiting for someone to show that Star Trek did something like it first.

I feel like the fact that vulcans are a felinoid species meant dog-sex wasn't really a thing in trek slash fandom. The first time I read knotting porn was in a Smallville fanfic.

… nope, can’t think of one?  “George is a lesbian” became fanon INCREDIBLY quickly after her introduction IIRC.

There was that headcanon that went around that Marty’s last name was also Martin and therefore he and George were married, but since that was heterosexual and professionally inappropriate, it never got far.

This pic has been a long way in the making. RL happened, laptop crashed, family members got ill… let’s put this WIP out in the meantime as a token of Not Giving Up :) . It’s part of the Victuuri wedding photoshoot from @jenroses’ wonderful Translations On Ice post-s1 series, part 5: Terminations and Transitions where a whole lotta other cool stuff happens too 8D . By Victor’s most ardent wish their clothes here are meant to be are a luxury fabric porn version of Yuuri’s FS costume. Well they will look more like it once I manage to digitally colour this… my laptop is (still) really struggling atm.

Also my bias towards Daisuki ‘Eros’ Takahashi among the staff’s figure skaters  inspiration sources for Yuuri is sort of showing I think. Bless that beautiful talented creature :°D. BLESS.

The 150k blows me away. Howwwww

I have some theories, but am kinda blown away myself. 

I know the number of chapters plays a part as I get a solid 1800 hits per chapter on average. 

Outside of that... I think that how I started it it, with 3-4 chapters per week meant it kept high visibility in the important early days before it grew into a behemoth. I also tried to post in a specific time of day. 

I think the whole A/B/O thing also plays a part, especially since most have the dynamics switched. 

I've made pumpkin pie from whole pumpkin. The results were disappointing. I've made it from pie pumpkin and I've made it from jackolantern pumpkin, and canned was better. *shrug*
