ANNOUNCEMENT 2: WELCOME TO THE REALM

ANNOUNCEMENT NUMBER TWO RAAHHHHHHHH

I HAVE FOUND A NEW HOME IN THE SERVER... THE REALM

cw long post!

OKAY GUYS I KNOW THAT WAS FAST BUT I HAVE A DEDICATED SPACE IN A SERVER CALLED THE REALM

The Realm is a Discord server partnership between KotoroK and ArthurGoatwin (two friends of mine who have encouraged me and my work as a creator!)

I have my own dedicated corner, follower role, etc (SHOUT OUT LIA TYSM!!!!)

Here's how to join:
Step 1. Click Link Here

Step 2. Click on my follower role during onboarding (South's Sluts) for my follower role (and any other roles you want ofc):

Step 3: Check out THIS channel for announcements and THIS channel for Art

GOING FORWARD: Each bot should have 7 images. 1 cover image, 3 additional style images (probably a playboy bunny costume, a maid costume and a dress/suit), and 3 NSFW images on Discord.

I'll be transferring all my NSFW content to that server, specifically in the 'extra-sauce' threads. It's gonna be some work, should take me a few hours when I have time

Thank you guys so much for your continued support, IDK what I would do without you guys showing out for each and every one of my bots

no secret bot this time, sorry

Back to yapping about the changes-

A favorite creator of mine, Cendrillon, has made a lengthy post detailing their retirement and current grips with the site.

I would like to absolutely parrot and agree with 100% of everything said in this post. It is absolutely awful that Janitor is removing NSFW images from bot bios. I could tolerate cover photos (partially bc I never did NSFW cover photos) but also because I think that, visually, it helps the site as a whole.

Removing NSFW images from the bot bios was the straw that broke the camel's back (for me at least), but there are other problems Cendrillon discusses that I agree are just as bad, if not worse, for the site as a whole.

Some key points:
---> Viewbotting: I personally did not even realize this was an issue until I discussed it with some creators. And it, absolutely, without a doubt is. I am so proud to have such an amazing community who supports my bots with honesty and integrity. I love each and every one of my bots and I put time and effort into making a compelling story for you all to engage with. Having people disparage my work by viewbotting/chatbotting their own bots hurts. Badly. It fucking sucks.

---> Trolling: Personally, I just delete these reviews. I don't get too many reviews, thankfully, but for bigger creators it is a non-stop issue. And not being able to report comments/accounts directly is just the worst.

---> Declining Engagement: Yep. Next.

---> Bugs: Holy I could rant about this for hours. CHAT COUNTS FREEZING? ARE WE SERIOUS? I mean, good lord. Just the worst. And to add on to this, I'm tired of people hiding behind the: 'oh the devs do this for free' - okay? As a community, we need clarity and honesty as to what is happening and WHY. Which brings me to my next point-

---> Lack of Transparency/Communication: Easily the worst part about this site, especially as a member of the community and as a creator. Anyone remember the '2025' event? Dog shit, bro. Who the knew what was happening? I sure as hell didn't. And that's just the tip of the ice berg for this issue as a whole. People dedicate their time and money into making bots and we deserve quality communication and transparency from the devs, whether or not they 'do this for free'.

THIS IS NOT MEANT TO ANTAGONIZE THE DEVS.

We just want better. Creators and chatters alike deserve better. If any devs see this - yes, you do this for free. Thanks. But some of us don't. And we all deserve better from you, the devs.

Thankfully, I don't pour as much time into my bots as some creators. But there are creators who put their whole heart and soul into bots - and the devs have no respect for that work at all.

From now on, expect me to be very critical of the site now that they are monetizing it and taking away some of the shit we love.

I'm gonna talk about my process now, to give you guys an idea of the workload I take on.

First, ideas and bot writing-
This usually takes me 45 minutes to an hour - up to 2 hours if I'm feeling insecure or having a more specific vision. Coming up with ideas is a perpetual thing, but if I sit down and try to find an idea, I could take anywhere from 10-30 minutes to land on one I like

Next, image creation-
This takes me a while. I'm very picky about images I use and how they look. I would say anywhere from 1-2 hours (but it overlaps with the writing - I let images gen while i write)

Bio writing-
takes me about 20-30 minutes usually, working through everything

Advertising bots-
takes me about 40 minutes (writing it up and then distributing across the various servers I am a part of)

I have some subscriptions, but they are small (GPT-4 and some AI image services)

All in all, a bot takes me-
Low End: 1.5 hours

High End: 3+ horus.

But don't let this fool you. Some creators spend days on their bots to give you high quality works, flushed with extra images, background stories, and NSFW images.

No, I will not stop making bots. Not yet, at least. I have too much fun doing it, honestly. Toxic relationship ig.

Everyone's support means too much to me and I want to put out quality bots for you. It's going to start with the Discord server, but I have fun ideas going forward. I want to grow, I want to increase my reach and I want people to enjoy my works. It's gratifying, in a way.
