It took longer than expected, but I have things mostly figured out now. I’m aware of all my next steps going into this project, including creator funding and website hosting, and unfortunately because certain payment providers are not being the kindest to me currently, I haven’t been able to set up either in preparation for today. I guess I’m just going to be operating out of Wattpad for communicating updates a while longer.
          	
          	Anyways. I’ve been working the past few years on getting the groundwork laid down for a Wings of Fire game. NSFW in nature, of course, but I also want this to be a project that can stand on its legs without the help of porn. Something palatable and fun for SFW audiences with plenty of optional fun naughty content. I also want to put genuine effort into this project— while it will most likely be primarily text-based, it will not be a shitty Twine game with no visuals or a TiTS-like game with minimal visuals. That requires hiring artists, programmers, and more, of course— I am neither an artist nor tech-savvy enough to understand coding languages. I will have two main co-creators working with me on this, friends of mine, but we are still not enough together. As of right now, like setting up a website and such, I’m not in the situation to do this.
          	
          	I expect that to change soon-ish. Until the time comes when I can release a partially-finished product, I’m currently gathering contacts and continuing to write out the story, characters, et cetera. If you are or know somebody with skills that could be of use to the project, message me in private here on Wattpad.

@AnkoleHorn  I am not an artist, but I am a game-designer, and I understand coding pretty well. I am also in the works of making my own little game. If you ever need/want help. I'll be happy to give you a hand

Alright I want you to send this to everyone you know and announce this on your profile to all of your followers. (and also credit me for this message if you wouldn't mind. Me being @Pantherboy957) So I honestly don't care what you ship, I don't care if it's Moonbli, Quinter, Winterwatcher or Quinterwatcher. But I want everyone to know this: 1. this is a fictional book series 2. is it worth hurting other people, mentally, just because you disagree with them? because that is what everyone in this whole ship-war is doing, myself included. 3. If you think it really is worth hurting people mentally because you disagree with them, you are the worst kind of person ever and don't deserve to exist. 4. I know everyone who ships one or more of these ships has insulted someone for not liking the same thing as them, it's wrong but it's human, and everyone should know that. But just because you have done that doesn't make you a bad person. Not wanting change on the other hand, does. 5. By reposting this on your profile you are showing that you too have made the mistake of insulting people based on their opinions. But also by reposting this you are showing that you are not a coward and not afraid to confront your mistakes. So the takeaway is, it's okay to have your own opinions, but no matter what you should still respect other peoples opinions. And this also applies irl. And if everyone had their own opinions and respected other peoples opinions and lived with other people having different opinions than themselves. Then the world would be at peace, for the most part. And war would be a thing of the past. And remember someone will always be out there who doesn't respect your opinion, but that gives you no justification to not respect theirs or attack them, because that's what starts war. So copy and paste all of this and post it on your profile and remember to follow these values.

So, it’s almost that time. May 22nd is when I was recently intending to talk about more about my project, and hopefully I can still stick to that date. However, for a number of reasons, that date may be pushed back a few days— or weeks. In preparation for the announcement here, I’ve been searching for website hosting options and creator funding services, and it’s unfortunately not as easy as picking a couple of big names like Patreon and Wordpress.com and running with it. However, as of today, I’ve settled on a funding service, and I’m still deciding between two website hosting options, so I’m not that far away from being ready.
          
          Stepping away from the serious talk, ready for more lemons? I can confirm I’ll be writing more WoF smut soon through this project. Hopefully, smut of higher quality, too. Keep an eye out for more updates like this.

@AnkoleHorn  never knew I was able to type on a dream, wait, is this reality? what that can't be your gonna be making lemons again, how can that be reality? It thought the day would never come

I didn’t realize it was a third of a year since I last posted about this. Anyways, long story short, work hasn’t stopped, and although I’m very limited in what I can do alone, I’m pleased with what’s been finished so far.
          
          It’s almost May, huh? I don’t intend to publicly release my work so far, but I guess pretty soon I’ll be talking more about what I want to create. I’m worried about how it’ll be received; maybe the idea’s stupid. I don’t know. Still, I intend to work on it, even if it ends up as just as a side project that’ll never see the light of day. I hope it’ll turn out well.
          
          ...In the meantime, know any good artists taking requests? I was thinking recently about how I only have one piece of art for Ankole, my icon. I’m unfortunately not in the position to commission someone, as much as I’d like to buy her a redesign. It’d be nice to have “official” art moving forwards.

@AnkoleHorn Dang it’s been a while.

I felt like making an update today, as I was fairly productive.
          
          I keep saying, "I'm moving from Wattpad to somewhere where I can have a little more control over underage readers among my fanbase." People keep asking me, "where are you moving to?" I don't know if it's happening anymore. At least, not in the same sense. I don't care enough about these stories to actively monitor them again. I also thought I'd have art to show by now, but I don't. Not to mention, that'd burn me out if I still wanted to work on my project at the same time.
          
          I will eventually be moving to another site as my primary means of communication, though. Probably a blog of sorts. It's not created and I haven't settled on a host for it yet, so I can't provide more info than that.
          
          Besides that, I'm still working on my project. I said over half a year ago it'd take two years minimum before I could release anything related to it, but that deadline's moved up.  May-June 2021 is the absolute soonest I can release it publicly. Before that time comes, just not today, I may delve more into detail on what I'm creating, and I may ask for help. After I meet the 2021 deadline, depending on my financial situation, I may be paying anyone who provides the service I need and sticks with the project.
          
          That's all for now. I'll likely be back soon with more to talk about.

@fanwing-1200 Whenever I feel I've made major progress, I'm in need of help, or I have some other kind of announcement.

@AnkoleHorn Will you keep us posted?

Quick note, in case I haven’t mentioned it before. I tend to forget about (or not care about) Wattpad for months at a time. I’m not purposefully ignoring messages and comments, or intentionally flaking on RPs.
          
          I’m hoping once I’ve moved sites and my project is at least somewhat public I’ll be motivated to interact with those who want it.

Blizzard_of_icewings

@AnkoleHorn  good to know, also what site are you moving to?

You think you’re ever gonna re-upload the Ripnami lemon?
          Also, you said you moved websites. Where’d you move?

AnkoleHorn

Still haven’t moved websites, unfortunately, and I’m not looking to draw attention to the account I’m moving to before it’s all set up.
            In terms of the lemon, I don’t know. I don’t really want to write it anymore, or go through the effort of re-uploading it. I haven’t moderated my AO3 account since before removing my stories, so search for me there if you want it. Maybe I uploaded it there.

I don’t have the time to moderate and actually weed out underage readers on a new account right now, but I said I’d repost eventually, so here it is. I’ll try this again another day.

Blizzard_of_icewings

@AnkoleHorn  it's going to be near impossible to weed out underage readers, unless IRL contact, you can fake anything. Its awesome that you are finally reposting your old lemons.

I have a bit of an update. TL;DR, though, today is still not the day I post something new. Doesn’t mean I’m not posting something old.
          
          So, I want to shortly talk about what I have been doing in terms of writing— I actually haven’t been sitting on my ass, twiddling my thumbs for... however long it’s been. I’m still writing WoF, I’m still writing porn, I’m still writing WoF porn. It’s just not a lemon, suggesting the context of a ‘lemon’ is a short Wattpad smut fic. I have a project that is WoF porn.. or I guess might not be in the end, I have to research boring legal nonsense to make sure I’m not going to get sued somehow before I release it as WoF— it’s just going to take a long time to come to fruition. As in, I most likely won’t be able to release anything publicly for two years. Sucks, but that’s how it is.
          
          It sounds stupid as all hell, but I have a passion for sexual writing, and this is me wanting to follow that passion further. If I can make things work out, I believe it will be worth the wait for everyone in the WoF porn community. In the meantime, when I get closer to that release date, I might be asking for help— even paying people with particular skills that can help me— from my followers here. Plenty of time for a certain age group here to grow up a little before getting involved.
          
          Also, because of the fucking insanity that is going on right now, and because I’m more set on what I actually want to do, I’m probably going to just repost the lemon book whenever I have time. There probably won’t be anything new anytime soon but who knows, maybe I’ll feel up to it eventually.

@AnkoleHorn I'm not certain but as ling as you arent trying to claim the idea or trying to make money on it you should be okay. But that's to my limited knowledge 
Reply

AnkoleHorn

@Bedrockthynightwing Just something that would affect me. I’m not talking much about the project or the research and money it will require until I have a proper terms of service, so people can’t threaten me like the Wings of Fire fandom likes to do to all the popular people that like some of the NSFW side of things. My main concern is that I just have to make sure I won’t be attacked by Scholastic because I didn’t read copyright laws or something like that.

@AnkoleHorn if I may ask what legal concerns you have? I'm not a lawyer but I'm curious if this is something everyone needs to know about or if just someone threatened you?
