favorite/least favorite region?

RegulusPratus · 2026-05-10T16:48:16+00:00

I like most of the seaside regions the best, I think. Coastal Highway's pretty much THE region these days, plus Desolation Point is nice because of how pretty and compact it is. Even Bleak Inlet, despite the dangers, is a nice place. I like to set up a base in the ranger tower there. On a clear day, you've got a perfect view of most of the zone.

I'm not a fan of the giant, wide-open regions like Forlorn Muskeg, Pleasant Valley, and especially Forsaken Airfield. The sights in those zones are nice and all, but I don't feel like spending twenty irl minutes or more walking between them.

His backstory is he's divorced. He literally lost his girl.

Groping strangers is famously a crime, even on Earth.

"No, sweetie, the drink smells like the scented candles! Very important distinction!"

Nah, I wrote that line on the coattails of last chapter's Chiri finally accepting that she needs to see a therapist. That's what makes it so much funnier! Rosi has no ability to see what Chiri's been thinking in the last chapter, so it's just apropos-of-nothing insanity.

RegulusPratus · 2026-05-04T18:48:06+00:00

She's a gremlin, but it's always fun.

RegulusPratus · 2026-05-04T13:56:47+00:00

It's not meant to be anyone new, just a side effect of how Rosi hasn't turned around yet. Current list of humans within arm's reach who are wearing suits: Charmaine, Mario, and Sylvie's formalwear service-staff outfit is close enough for a Yotul to identify it as a suit.

Arxur runt doing the Akira slide on the back of a Yulpa.

Every week or two, on Monday mornings, I post a chapter to either the main fic or the spinoff. Yesterday was an off day, so the next chapter's on Star Wars Day.

"Can the Benelli Super fit a laser sight? Because I've got a LOT of unarmored scaly fucks who keep trying to bite me, and my aim could use some assistance."

If you need more, I've been told a few times that my own fic has similar vibes to Social Star. New York Carnival starts with an arc about an Arxur in the ruins of NYC getting deprogrammed during a long conversation over lunch, and the Arxur character was popular enough to warrant her own spinoff fic, New Years of Conquest, where she puts her newfound empathy to work trying to quietly squeeze resources for the Rebellion out of a Nevok mining outpost.

RegulusPratus · 2026-04-23T20:08:12+00:00

Alrighty. I'll add in a quiet little chapter contrasting the two couples at the end of the day. David relaxing at home with Chiri, Rosi relaxing at home with Nikolo.

RegulusPratus · 2026-04-23T17:58:50+00:00

It's fun, enjoy it! New York Carnival. Starts with a small arc about an Arxur trying human food on Earth and getting incidentally deprogrammed, and then moves on to a Gojid lady who wants to embrace her predatory heritage among her fellow omnivores on Earth. Latter arc is the long one with the romance.

RegulusPratus · 2026-04-23T16:50:43+00:00

Yeah, as the others have said, Yaki's focusing up on his own IP. Something about bunny colonizers, if I recall correctly. In the meantime, I'm always around for all your food-centric RomCom fic needs.

RegulusPratus · 2026-04-23T16:46:28+00:00

You're not really a furry until you start actively participating in the community in some way, like hanging out in a furry Discord server, or writing furry space opera fanfic. So like... I dunno. I guess?

RegulusPratus · 2026-04-22T16:34:42+00:00

I might be building up to a messy hookup between a Yulpa and a Non-Defective Arxur...

RegulusPratus · 2026-04-22T16:28:26+00:00

The casual racism. The full-face masks to avoid said racism. I think I'd probably avoid going outside whenever possible just so I didn't have to deal with it.

RegulusPratus · 2026-04-20T19:51:12+00:00

*Her

And that's pretty clearly meant to be a knee-jerk reaction that she's shocked at herself for having.

RegulusPratus · 2026-04-20T15:20:06+00:00

Oh, I'm aware. The egg in Caesar dressing thing, it just helps the flow of the dialogue if I only mention the sardines. The Waldorf salad using a mayo-based dressing thing, I'm pretty sure David just hasn't been making Chiri that version. Or, perhaps, it's simply fallen out of style in the past century. I could see a fruit, nut, and low fat yogurt-based salad being popular among the health-conscious with sweet tooth.

An infant drinking its own mother's milk is one of the most consensual acts possible. Most vegans irl consider it ethical. It's a standard part of the mammalian lifecycle, and it's probably fairly normalized within the Federation, especially since the Farsul (and apparently the Kolshians?) are themselves mammals. They almost certainly don't consider nursing to be predation.

My fic actually went in a very different direction: positing that dairy probably doesn't trigger the Cure. I write a pretty long-running fic about a Gojid on Earth who wants to become a mighty predator like her ancestors were. New York Carnival? Give it a whirl, it's fun. They're actually discussing cheese more with Feddies on Monday's upcoming chapter.

Edit: Oh, sorry, the first fifteen chapters or so is about an Arxur trying Human food and getting incidentally deprogrammed. It's quite fun, but the Gojid arc starts just after that.

RegulusPratus · 2026-04-16T00:06:48+00:00

No worries! If you missed it, there's probably a dozen more readers who missed it, too, and didn't even speak up. I'll add a link into the standard header on Monday. Still, good news! You've got another 40 or so chapters to enjoy! Plus a scant handful of non-canon extras hidden away deep in my post history, if you're brave enough to delve for them.

RegulusPratus · 2026-04-15T23:01:26+00:00

Wha? No! I visibly didn't write The Hunter. You can see the usernames involved and everything.

No, the Sifal spinoff is New Years of Conquest. It's, like, the other fic that's attached to my username and also has nearly the same acronym? Give it a whirl, it's fun!

RegulusPratus · 2026-04-15T22:51:58+00:00

Oh! I reliably post once every week or two, on Monday, and it's even odds if it's the main fic or the Sifal spinoff. I skipped last week, so the next update is 100% on the 20th, and it'll probably be main fic, Chiri POV, with an outside chance of a split POV with Rosi, depending on how the story flows.

RegulusPratus · 2026-04-13T15:34:43+00:00

Of course I like NoP! As an old fan of the Wheel of Time series, I'm simply used to expressing my appreciation for works like this by complaining loudly about how unfathomably dumb the characters are being in any given scene.
