i genuinely believe squid maids and cat wishes were harbingers of a sea change in TGTF fiction where the transformations were no longer punishments or unwanted

it feels like a much healthier space now and i think you helped lead the way

I have read the first few chapters of Her Majesty the Prince and while I put it down it is only because I was really enjoying it and knew I would not handle waiting for it well. I fully intend to go back to it and be thoroughly entertained.

Remember, Mega Man is proud of you for wishing him a Good Morning so often. Few of us can say the same

i'm way behind on her majesty because reading-as-a-habit is hard for my brain the last handful of years, but i've always loved your books and watching your writing grow and change and shift over time has been a delight

I bought a few of your books when I visited The Beguiling in Toronto! It was so amazing seeing the work of someone I follow on Cohost in person. Your stories are really cute and always make me smile!

I’ve really enjoyed your short stories and novellas! The only reason I haven’t read Her Majesty the Prince is because I’m waiting for more of it to be released. I really appreciate how you put all your work out there, and I find it inspirational when I make my own stuff ❤️

I read your Cat Wishes stories some months after I came out to myself as trans. I found Tora's story/transformation in particular resonated very strongly with me. It took me a little while to figure out why, but in the end Tora was a big inspiration in accepting that I wanted to be a strong, butch type of trans girl. I still think "I want to be strong like her" sometimes. In some not-so-small way, you've touched at least my life.
I hope your day gets better.

It's been wonderful following your stories and seeing you progress. As an author, certainly, but also as a person, in the stories you wanted to tell and in what you felt ready to tackle. HMTP is an impressive work so far and I'm really looking forward to seeing where you are heading with it! ^_^

I've been lurking your cobalt core streams and they're a joy to have. Cat Wishes continues to be a go to for the non binary feels.

I really enjoy your writing, but even when I'm not in the right brain space for reading, your streams are also really fun. You've got an engaging way of looking at games and their structure, and you've crafted a really nice community to hang out with

I am too allergic to go to cat cages, but your novellas help tickle that itch.

I still read Feline Therapy when I feel down. It meets me where I'm at, mentally, and can bring me up when I need it. Thank you.

I read subfami like at least every six months, it's just so completely full of joy and charm. All your stories are such a bright light in a dark world and I am so glad to live in a time where I can share them

I think I've told you before in the discord but your stuff many years ago (in addition to QuietValerie's stories too!) was pivotal to my egg being able to crack and I can't thank you enough <3 I was always into TG TF stuff (especially on deviantArt) ever since puberty hit (around 2009 for me), but after all those years of thinking it was just a gross corner of the internet and I should be ashamed of myself for liking it, seeing stuff like that that wasn't rooted in shame and internalized transphobia and probably repression, where the person getting transformed learns to like it and didn't immediately go "aaaaaAAAH CHANGE ME BACK this is grooOooOooss!! [gets forcibly taken to the mall by sister]" was HUGE for me. I recently rediscovered your page and binged the first PDF of Her Majesty The Prince and it's phenomenal. I can't wait for more!

look I like your books but you agreed to meet me, a stranger, in person and we chatted for what felt like hours, that's a rare find on our planet and I am forever moved by that gesture.

Your stories capture the feeling of gender euphoria in incredible ways. Got me through some long business trips at one point. Still remember reading about squid maids on a plane to nowhere, Ohio.

I love your writing. its been incredibly fun to watch you explore, and its brought me a ton of comfort. penny forever.

the work you have done with HMTP is like watching someone build a cathedral by hand, month over month. I have no idea how you can assemble such a beautiful, clever work of art with the pace you do, and i have so much admiration for what youve accomplished.

I read a lot of your stuff during quarantine and it helped me be more honest with myself. Your writing is very healing.

I've loved all of your stuff!! Squid Maids helped me transition, Cat Wishes helped my wife get the courage to pick a new name, Substitute Familiar is a banger, I couldnt put down Feline Therapy, Plant Lamp was a great story about growth and getting what you need if not what you want, I've really enjoyed everything I've seen of HMTP so far, and I've loved all of your short stories!

My life is better because you, your stories, and your positivity are in it!!

I've mentioned it in other contexts, but Cat Wishes jump started my interest in writing. My writing changed my life, led to making connections I could never of dreamed of, and it's still a pivotal part of my self concept seven seasons later, so... Your work is pretty important to me. 💜

Wait, I was supposed to share my thoughts about the stories themselves, wasn't I? 😅 Cat Wishes and Substitute Familiar are my favorites. I reread those two a few times a year to get those warm fuzzy gender feels again. 🏳️‍⚧️

cat wishes gave me real gender feels and i love watching your gmmm streams

Your work gives me the warmest gender feelings, like being wrapped in a big hug and knowing that things are going to be okay! (also wanted to share that there's new Void Stranger stuff that you did not discover in your playthrough)

books good
streams good
