Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this feedback, even if it's not all positive it definitely helps to know what people are after.

Firstly thank you for the kind words about the quality of my writing. I put a lot of time into these stories and I'm glad that they're scratching that itch for like-minded people who are after mini-gts bbw domination and vore.

And yeah, that's a totally valid criticism of my work. The vore-per-word ratio or whatever you'd call it is a lot lower than it is when I started writing and I felt like it was completely pointless in putting out anything that didn't directly include a straight-up-eats-a-dude kind of scene. If that's the only thing my work holds for someone then I don't blame them for not finding my more recent stuff as engaging.
It's a dilemma that I've been trying to solve.

I set out when I started trying to make stories with more polish than what I was seeing in the "mini-gts bbw vore/domination" genre, and part of that was putting effort into making the preds feel believable and the scenarios make sense. In your own words "In terms of writing in the preds perspective, you're top notch. You really make me buy into the whole thing." The move towards slower-paced stories that focus more on the narrative and characters is the evolution of of that same intent.

I don't want to repeat myself, and I feel like if I tried to focus just on the vore as much as I used to then I would end up practically copy+pasting what I had already written. It's been much easier for me to come up with new ways to try to flesh out the characters, their dynamic and the setting they're interacting in than to figure out how to describe a guy getting eaten in a dozen different ways.

It's led to an increased focus on my other main kink: domination. For me, scenes where Princess Ana is being a huge demanding bitch throwing the weight of her privilege and status around are still erotic content. If you're not into that kind of thing, then I guess it's going to read as pointless filler at best. (Although if you're specifically referring to the end of Brimstone and Ash, then I totally agree in hindsight that the story needed a better pay-off to finish up with. It's on my to-do list.)

I've tried dipping my toes into some more exotic or vore-adjacent kind of content in the Ana stories to test the water there (e.g. the absorption scene or the transformation into jewellery which is kind of similar to being turned into fat on the pred's body in my mind) but I don't want to, for example, start trying to write anal vore or get even weirder with like... nipple-mouths and stuff.

Perhaps something that would help is if I tried tagging differently somehow? I've tried tagging specific chapters with what they contain (even putting it in the thumbnail recently) but maybe I need to try more comprehensively listing what the instalments are leading up to so people don't waste time or get invested only to be presented with pegging or something they don't want to read.

As a last, more positive note: I'm currently working on a collab project with DiamondM that is more of a "traditional vore story" about a guy working in a restaurant kind-of-thing where the staff are on the menu too, so I hope you'll enjoy that one a bit more!
