What do you want to see?

by

So I wanna ask, what most do you guys wanna see in terms of my fantasy content?

In terms of interest it seems my pictures that are commissioned by people get more views than anything in my Magistasia series. Like I'm making an entire comic gay cub comic full of porn and naughties but the Ko-Fi and Patreons for it have had less supporters than I have fingers even though I have almost 4k watchers... Don't get me wrong i'd have felt lucky to get even like 20 or so supporters, but out of everyone watching me only a couple people wanna even show a dollar of support?

Not just that but most anything I make of Magistasia gets very few comments and half the views a normal picture gets. So, I just wanna know what I can do to make the series better for everyone. I've tried porn, cute nekkid critters, stories, a bestiary, and now a full colored and shaded comic all of which I am constantly working on and putting all my heart and soul into.

But all of them feel like the general response is 'meh'. I dunno anymore, tell me what you wanna see.

Tbh I haven't truly seen/read the series, but I'd add some action scenes if there aren't any.
Action I mean battles :P

EDIT: If there is action and the response is still bad, gotta say that nowadays' people prefer blood over porn.

In the main series there is quite a bit of action in the very beginning

In that case the problem might be that there isn't enough blood.
Like I said, nowadays' people prefer blood over all.
This is what makes certain movies fail.
It's not you, it's the viewers/readers.

What about if it isnt cute? What if i wanted to make something cool like an epic fight scene, probably would get minuscule views by comparison lol

Unfortunately, it isn't anything You're doing or not doing. As a writer myself, stories don't get read on IB. Its a simple matter. I love your story you've woven and made, and even more so with Beluinus in it! But the people here on IB just don't read. A picture is a quick glance and finger swipe to give it a star or three, but stories take time to read, and concentration. They will always have much less views than a picture. A story with a picture to go along with it, now that is one way to help, because a lot people will click the picture and want to read the story that goes along with it. Some will favorite for the picture, some for the story, some both.

TLDR: IB is not a story site, and I understand completely no one reading your stories.

Well, firstly the stories have pictures to go along with them. Secondly, Im moved on from just stories and made all kinds of pictures and stuff sfw and nsfw and still the response is lackluster. Makes me feel like the content is just boring i guess xD

I have to second this sentiment. Stories just aren't read on InkBunny; the community doesn’t seem interested nor do they appreciate writing as a craft. This site's audience seems primarily interested in drawn porn and there’s only a handful of people on the site that appreciate writers.
It doesn’t help that most of the writing I see on the site is completely and utterly garbage. The writing that gets receives loads of views and gets big seems to be the more poorly written quickie-type porn stories. Trying to engage your audience as a writer here is a constant struggle if you have any kind of talent and know how to put words onto a page with more substance beyond two characters fucking.
There’s nothing wrong with porn, don’t get me wrong; I like loads of artists here, obviously, but holy shite does the community just ignore anything that takes more time and investment to experience. The instant gratification of a porn image, or a >5 page porn ‘story’ that describes sex acts in the most Ikea-Sex prose possible gets more views because it gets people off quicker.

Authors pour their blood, sweat, and tears into their writing just as much as artists who draw do. Depending on the work, it might even take longer to finish a story than a piece because of how much effort and research, editing and rewording and overview should go into a story. Then they get no views. It’s a travesty, and it sucks.

When a writer as immensely talented as

KichigaiKitsune

is spends half a year putting out one of the best SciFi stories I’ve ever read and it doesn’t get views because it’s an actual story that takes time to read, it says something about the community and what people are here for. Sure, people aren’t necessarily here to look at a hard-scifi story about a kitten character, but it’s actually good. And that’s a problem because cub-centric literature is a niche within a niche within a niche. Writing is a niche on IB. Cub-centric stuff, and thus IB as one of the best places for cub-centric artwork, is a niche within the furry community, which itself is a niche fandom.
We’ve got writers here that are actually putting forth effort and time and making really great stories that are worth being celebrated in our community and they’re being overlooked in favour of bilge fap stories or easy-to-look-at (and fap to) drawn porn. Which, again, I like porn. It’s fine. Porn and porn artists deserve the praise they get. But stories have the potential to say things and communicate ideas. Erotic stories too. In fact, especially erotic stories like Astray, and they’re being overlooked.

I’ll admit that I don’t have a lot of time to read myself, and I know many people following authors will, like me, see that a new story or chapter has been posted and then put it away for when they have the time. That’s just how it is; porn is instant-gratification, stories take time to read and digest. I put whole days aside to read (because I’m a dreadfully slow reader.) I’ve loads of stories put aside for later reading.

In lieu of this I’d say the best route to go is comics or something in the style of a graphic novel. Bridge the visuals with dialogue; easier to look at, easier to digest, and it gets ideas across faster. This takes away from how powerfully well someone can describe something in full detail or communicate an idea with writing, but any medium can communicate things in their own way.
As an artist, Khaimera, I think the comic is a good idea – you can bridge these things. It makes me a little jelly~

Written works are way too underappreciated, especially here. Best you can hope for is to garner the part of your following that actually cares about the time and effort your writing and drawings take and enjoy the attention these more important projects get. Do it because you want to, tell a story because you have an idea to show or communicate, or just because you like the idea driving it and want to tell it. If you have readers and viewers who appreciate it – even if they’re a fraction of what porn gets – relish that.

(I actually hit the character limit, sorry. Why I posted two comments. >w>)

To be honest, as a fantasy series, it'd be nice to see neat magic effects and action sequences, don't be afraid to be flashy and artistic, make us feel like the world around the characters is real, not only lewd things and cute stuff, character building too is extremely important, make us relate to the characters and the things they go through, and as someone already said, the story itself should be engaging, that way people will come back for more. It may not get more views but it'd be more memorable to those who do see it, that's my own personal opinion based on past experiences though

Honestly... just progression x3
It get's tiresome to see something you enjoy get sidetracked by so many off shoots that your stuck waiting for an update on the main part you care about :p
Not that I haven't enjoyed any part of your Magistasia series but I would like to see the main adventure progress much further before all these side projects get so much attention >w<

@ maniacalmercury

Issue with that is the main series comes in two parts, the comic im working on which has a ways to go and the stories, which get little attention cuz not many people read stories here.

I wanna see more of you. [hugs] Art specific I'm not sure. I have been so out of it lately I haven't been keeping up with anyone. Life just too demanding lately. What I don't see a lot of, though, is emotional art. Art with passion and meaning. Perhaps I'm just getting bored with porn.
