Hi, and welcome to the Driftwood Season 1 Post-Mortem. I’m going to talk about Driftwood more personally during this, but if you have any questions about the first season for me or Ferro. Please go ahead and ask them in the comment section below. My Post-Mortems double as AMAs.
I first want to take a moment to talk about what Driftwood has meant to me personally. I never thought this little vent project would be much of anything. But at the time of writing: Driftwood is the proudest I’ve ever been of any of my projects. Of course Driftwood does have flaws. There are some episodes that are pretty boring in my eyes. But its meaning is so much more than it’s quality for me.
I think it can be easy to see me as a porn artist that wishes they were a “real” artist. My porn comics aren’t constant sex, and often go on long winded monologues about sadness or whatever. But Driftwood is something I could have only made as a porn artist. The ability to explore sex to this degree is something I could have only done on my current life path.
To say it outright, it’s been a validating joy to make Driftwood!
As mentioned in the first Driftwood description. Driftwood was originally thought up as a twine game about loneliness. It was supposed to be a project where I could vent. Which of course brings us to possibly the most interesting secret about Driftwood.
Driftwood is semi autobiographical. Some of Ferro’s stories are just my stories dressed up and disguised, and some of them are complete fiction. This format was very helpful for me personally. Since it let me air out things from my past I’d never be able to talk about normally. To this end though, I will not be answering questions about WHICH stories are real and fake. Since that would take away my ability to talk about them, my apologies.
Ferro’s personality is also very similar to my own, with a few differences obviously. Ferro isn’t artistic at all, and is almost superhumanly good at getting laid XD. Having a self insert in my own world has been really fun!
I have worried about what my life will look like now that my vent project is on midseason break. But I was really glad with how this season ended. In the meantime, I have at least one fun worldbuildy Driftwood/Nocturnal extra in the works. And there is always Season two, someday!
Thank you to all the Driftwood fans who read this, and to everyone who watched this project in general. This has been a really meaningful project for me! Don’t forget to put any questions you have below XD!
