Hello lovely friends! I'm aware that, like 'Faebruary' earlier in the year, August has its monster equivalent, in 'Taurgust', and I wanted to see about writing a little something to celebrate that with you. It won't be as long as August's main monthly story (10k+ words!) and it'll be available to all tiers.

I've put a list of half-human, half-monster friends below for you to vote for, and I'll leave it multiple choice. Try not to vote for more than two monsters if you can, but do also let me know your desired gender for the monster too. I've included a little prompt with them but feel free to add ideas or more taurs in the comments too!

I'm aware that I do an awful lot of male monsters, but honestly, that's because it's really only the lads who get attention and engagement/feedback. I'm always happy to write non-humans with other genders, of course, and I don't want people to feel left out, so please always feel free to say so, either here, or Discord, or on Anon on Tumblr - wherever you feel more comfortable! This is your community as well as my playground, so I want everyone to feel catered for and happy.

(Having said that, I do actually have that 'butch female werewolf mercenary x femme character' story I was working on, so I'm happy to finish that for you at some point if you're interested)

Anyway here are some ideas - lemme know if you like the sound of any of them, and let me know in the comments if you've got more ideas to add. If enough of them seem interesting, I can always keep them in mind for future stories! They don't have expiry dates on them, after all!

Thank you again for your support - I couldn't keep doing this without you. Lots of love x
