The STFW series; analysed

Blimey, 80 people have filled out my feedback form. Can't believe it, thanks everyone - I hate filling out forms, so how you lot have managed is quite amazing!

So here's some of the findings...

Here are some of my favourite quotes from the form (hope you don't mind me publicising them, it's all anon so pliz don't take offence!). If you don't see your comments there I'm sorry - there were literally HUNDREDS of comments so I've just picked some of the funny / entertaining ones:

... gotta love butt sex

 (lol)

  'Blue Steel' is still one of the hottest things I've ever read ("This is gonna happen" floating like a whisper – genius), because at first she verbally teases him out of his sexual shell, but then comes BACK and delivers so beautifully, and you stay with it all the way through Xho's first fuck

 (Yeah those moments in real life are so special, makes your heart hurt)

I enjoy shiny tight clothing

 (*nods sagely*)

"The Spymaster" still has one of my favorite moments when Zan wakes up with Tom already on her and she just has a "Meh. Just another Tuesday" attitude about it.

 I've thoroughly enjoyed their perverted jolly through space!

But seriously more incest.

 (More?! I think you'll like comic 20)

BTW I'm not nuts - I realize it's just a comic.

(Don't worry I have to say that too sometimes)

Best: quiet ones becouse it was longest. I literary cum bukets with this one. I love your work, but this one was obviously best

(haha gross!) 

Blue Steel, hands down, for the feels it reminded me of. You have no idea of how special (oh, wait, you have) can it be for a shy dude when a girl just comes up and ''breaks you out'' of it. That chapter was all about that, and even if there was almost no Ix there, it was the best.

(Thanks yeah, tbh I was actually thinking of my real-life elder sister as Zan's character in that one; she's got that quiet authoritative thing going on) ... (not that I've done anything with my actual sister, or I have a thing for her, you understand O_O)

... fun, interesting and sexy as well as intriguing well written and boobs.

(... and boobs. haha! I want that on my gravestone :)

1. long dick 2. pretty girl 3. romantic side

(lol)

Space Tits, accidental boner rubbing on sisters tits.

(Yeah I made that whole comic purely for that moment haha! Seems lots of people like that moment from the whole series...)

The scene where Ix gets stunned and silent with a dick in her face gets me every time. I think it's that fact that the characters are actually genuinely shocked by something sexual that makes that scene particularly attractive.

The scene with IX & XHO in the ducts was absolutely one of the sexiest I've ever seen.

The maintenance shaft scene is amazing.

Maybe if you get tired of the boning, try your hand at a more serious story or something; that'd be neat.

(Get ... get tired of boning? :)

The Quiet Ones is also the best depending on the mood, there the build up, antici... 

(anticiWHAT? Will I ever find out?! Arrghh!! #metajokes)

And when it finally happened it was like BOOM like you know, whoa that was intense. (By the way, if you were to ask Ix and Xho about their opinion on what's the best comic, what you think they would say huh?)

(I think they'd say why didn't I make a whole comic purely about them boning on the Wraith after comic 19! Of the options, probably Shadows and Dust, because that's when they're flirting most and everything's will-they-won't-they, whereas comic 20 they stop flirting and get down to business. Sexy business.) 

Those times when the situation gets...cozy? When either plot tension or sexual tension had broken, but there's still a sense of a general cuddle-buzz among the crew. Those are the best scenes

(I think you'll enjoy comic 20)

It's the Englishness of it, in this Americanised genre. 

 (Cor blimey mate! I couldn't write it any other way eh what what?! Get a bloody wriggle on me ol china) 

More group sex.

We need an orgy for the finnale

More orgies!

(I dunno guys, there's a foursome near the end of the 3rd comic but I just didn't find it sexy. That's why they stop. It's probably just me, I don't find orgies a particular turn-on, sorry)

Wishing I could get a bunch of signed solid comics or maybe a one big hardcover because they are special to me.

(Yeah I wondered about printing them out as bound glossy A4s, that'd be so cool. Once the series is done it might be time to print for posterity. I probably won't though. Probably wait until I'm 70 years old and fancy flicking through an old project while sitting on my ocean liner)

Mixing eroticism, plot and humour in a porno is extremely unusual talent on the interwebs; you are one of the best (This is not hyperbole!). However your longer comics don't necessarily grab me as being hugely greater than your shorter one's. I think you need to experiment with your format and how you release work so as to better pace yourself

 (Thanks dude, and yeah I know you're right about the pacing thing. I find it really difficult to get any plot/intensity into a sub-40 page comic though, so have got into the habit recently of just diving into the weird little world I've created; I think getting an emotionally-engaging story into a short space is a seriously genius skill I'd love to have! I think I fluked it for A Fairy Good Deal - that one was short and punched above its weight)

I would like to see gifs in the comics.

(Yeah me too! Can't be bothered! :)

Ix-roasting.

... seems to be missing from the entire beauteous saga.... Tit-sucking.

(Yeah. There's a tiny bit in comic 20, but not much. I dunno; I'm not really into it, I guess it just comes down to that  :)

... we here on earth have quite a few issues with properly pronouncing Xho's name. Or otherwise it's just a German thing not knowing how to pronounce it correctly [...]  my mind's like "X.H.O." like his name is a chemical notation (that the right word?!) like H2O or CO2 you know?

 (Hah! I've always thought it was pronounced like 'So' but with a softer S. In fact a German-accent pronunciation of the English word 'So' would be slightly 'Zo', that's how I'd say it :)

(And Ix is pronounced just like the ix in 'mix', the rest are obvious I think)

idk honestly this shit is gr8 and i'm too busy fapping to think clearly lul

... I have a thing for Xi a massive thing for her.

( OK, and I'm sure she'd like to see it, but if you call her 'Xi' it'll be an elbow in the face I'm afraid. Just a heads-up :)

... love to see a small stand alone of Xho and XI in the Wraith

(So would they)

a close-up or two, mebbe some x-ray of ix and xho doing it

(Near enough:)

You are definately thinking of all the angles of the story as well as poses and the bajillion other little things it takes to make the comic work! The devil is in the details i suppose, I'm starting to feel like a gushing fanboy...

(Gushing fanboys always welcome :) 

The longer one focuses on a certain project, the more likely one is to lose this special spirit that had made everything so far so absolutely unique.

 (agreed)

So much fapping! ! !

 (agreed)

More sex (always)

(agreed)

I love it when they kiss, and I love it when they say I love you.

There's nothing else like your stories — no one else like you — out there, in the vast fap-i-verse, anywhere

Long time fan keep up your amazing work, we love you :)  

There are very few narratives of comparable quality out there.

(thanks guys)

I really believe they love each other.

(At the end of the day, that's what it should all be about :)

So, thanks for all the comments - the suggestions and helpful critical feedback as well. Thanks for taking the time out to write a little something and put so many votes up for your least/most favourite comic. You can see from the bar chart (gotta love a bar chart, right?!), that #19: The Quiet Ones outscores any other comic by miles, which I agree with; I was pleased that one came out as ... fappable as it did.

Sitrep:

Comic 20 is now at 170 pages. Not quite time to get excited yet, but we're getting closer.
