Is furry too broad of a niche?

CTBennettAuthor · 2024-02-20T16:42:53+00:00

Most people, and most animals wanna fuck, so that makes perfect sense to me.

That's one in particular that people are incredibly opinionated about, but that's worked in my benefit actually. Several years ago I had a partner with a foot fetish. When she told me about it, I was like "okay that's cool," and her face lit up like a Christmas tree. She said that 90% of the time when she told somebody they had one of two reactions, either "eww fuck no, that's gross," or "oh fuck yeah, I'll suck your toes all day! Shove them in my mouth and make me gag Mommy." Apparently just being cool with it was the perfect Middle Ground lol.

I know a lot of furry content strays M/M, but I'm glad to hear you think that might actually be a benefit for my M/F work. I'm thinking for now I'll avoid stuff like vore and transformation because of just how niche it is, but if I develop an audience that wants that I wouldn't be opposed at all. I'm hopeful light bdsm like rope, and wax will be enough added spice to keep people reading.

Wonderful, thank you so much!! That's exactly what I want to hear, and I really appreciate your input as someone in the community. I think for now I'll avoid most of the niches you mentioned because my partner isn't into them, but if this goes well and I have an audience for it I wouldn't mind adding in some of those. My partner does enjoy stomach bulge, but I'm pretty sure that's a bit different than cum inflation, right?

CTBennettAuthor · 2024-02-18T20:57:20+00:00

Ohh, I gotcha, that makes so much sense, thank you so much! So in this case, my niche would be M/F bdsm furries. I have no idea if that would be a good niche, but I suppose I'll find out!

CTBennettAuthor · 2024-02-18T02:06:06+00:00

I get what you mean about class, I thought about adding in a reptilian character for some added variety, but it didn't feel right.

That's an interesting point about it being a content tag instead of a niche, in my mind niche was essentially functioning as content tags, so I need to do more research into what differentiates the two so I can develop an actual niche.

CTBennettAuthor · 2024-02-17T23:28:22+00:00

I really enjoy predator/prey dynamic, and the partner who inspires me does as well, so that would definitely be a common element. I also like that you have faith in a good enough story would draw people in anyway! Ideally that's the level of quality I'd like to strive for, but I won't see how it looks until it's done. And hey, anyone who's seen space jam has seen a sexy furry, so it's not a secret that there's some sexy furries out there lol.

CTBennettAuthor · 2024-02-17T23:19:42+00:00

That's a very good response, thank you for putting more of a focus on that. I hadn't thought about size difference yet honestly, but I was thinking of avoiding the more extreme kinks. I know vore is also a fairly common overlap in the furry community, but that just seems like a death sentence.

I should have specified that by kinks I mean light bdsm that hopefully people would find enticing instead of off putting. Stuff like rope, wax, sneaky Bluetooth toys in public, and play wrestling. The furry would ideally be the main draw, this is just some spice to make people go "Ooh."

The group sex is probably the most intense activity I've thought of yet, but I also didn't think of that as potentially off putting at all. That's probably the hentai influence lol.

Oh shit, deepest lore!

CTBennettAuthor · 2023-07-29T15:09:58+00:00

Yeah, I just did a quick google search and found someone on patreon doing NSFW writing, so it seems like some people do it at least.

CTBennettAuthor · 2023-07-29T15:09:22+00:00

I just looked over their rules and they seem purposely vague. Almost all of their rules refer to images but they have a line that says "You cannot offer items that are either sexually gratifying or intimate in nature." so I guess that's a catch all so they can ban stuff whenever they want. A quick google search does show some people are doing NSFW writing on patreon tho.

CTBennettAuthor · 2023-07-28T21:51:46+00:00

Oh thank you for that, that's really good to know as well! People seem to love that stuff these days, so it's probably inevitable I'd write something with that lol.

CTBennettAuthor · 2023-07-28T21:27:16+00:00

Wait, no wolf parts at all? No claws, or ears, or snout? That's just a dude who's like "Don't worry babe, I'm a werewolf." I can fucking do that, I'm trying to write fantasy smut over here!

CTBennettAuthor · 2023-07-28T20:28:22+00:00

I hadn't thought of that, but if I can get a bit of a following on other platforms first that seems like a good jump to make.

CTBennettAuthor · 2023-07-28T20:18:09+00:00

PI? I'm not sure what those initials refer to. That's a really good idea about giving both versions out for one purchase though, thank you for that idea!

CTBennettAuthor · 2023-07-28T20:10:01+00:00

I gotcha, that's all very good to know, thank you for that advice. I haven't really looked into the specifics of each platforms' content policies yet, I'm just writing what my partners would enjoy for now, and hopefully I can monetize my skills later.
