Otterly Ruddertail

The Shark And The Wolf

This story stars characters by XelArtz, and is set very roughly in his world (with permission). All canonical and mechanical errors are my own. That said? This one’s for fun, so I hope you have fun reading it.

This story rates a heavy Lime on the citrus scale. There will be (a lot of) strongly suggestive actions and dialogue, but all sex acts are fade to black. All characters depicted are anthropomorphic and over 18.

Under Pressure Ch 11

When I got home that day, the door opened to a surprisingly normal scene. The smell of dinner in the air (smelled like curry, which very much did not mind), Lucy and Lilly seated on the couch with our newest candidate, deep in conversation. They all looked up at me as one as I stepped inside. “I’m guessing you have all been talking about our conversation from earlier.”

Lucy fixed me with an absolute deadpan look. “Nah, the weather was just unusually sunny and we debated it for three hours.”

“Glad you can be inspired b...

Ch 21: Details, Details

Coming home that morning was a hero's welcome. Paige was welcomed like a long lost sister, already a friend. There were tears, laughs, hugs, and plenty of admiration.

It was this last which had a very curious effect. Slowly, infinitesimally, I saw Paige’...

Some Schedule Stuff

Hey everyone! Otterly here. Just need to make a quick note for this month. Apologies for those who are waiting for the next (and probably last) chapter of Under Pressure, but due to Real Life Things coming up it likely will not release this month for Third Friday. It just won’t be ready.

That said, it doesn’t mean all is lost! Quite the opposite. On the 21st of the month, I will be posting up a one-shot story titled The Shark And The Wolf, starring characters (and artwork) from the inimitable XelArtz!

If Under Pressure 12 is...

New Cover Art!

Thank you NaniCreates AKA @Succubi_corner for this art! Moving forward, this will be the new cover for I’m Blue. Please tell me what you all think!

Becoming monsters is the creation of AiLovesToGrow, setting used with permission

This idea comes from Amethyst Dragonfly. The Sapphire Rose, mentioned in this chapter, is a real book, part of the Elenium series by David and Leigh Eddings, and was one of my formative literary experiences.

Chapter 9: Spirit of Competition

He was warm.

Snuggling with six and a half feet of sexy tigress has a lot going for it. Warm and soft, comfy fur, heartbeat seeming designed to lull him to sleep. Her breasts made incredible pillows, too. Thing is? Hairballs. Todd woke up fairly sharply when he kissed her half in dream, and his mouth felt like he was chewing on the inside of a vacuum cleaner.

Now that you all have gotten to meet them… who is Best Girl for Tidbits? The winner here will likely get a bit more focus in chapter 12 (ish)

You voted for it, so here it is! Patreon is, from here on out, two chapters ahead of public for Tidbits. I'm glad you love this bunch as much as I do, seriously. In addition, behold the new splash art, by Domochevsky!

Otter Chat: Art Fight!

Hey, everyone! Been a bit quiet this month other than the scheduled things. Work, Family, and College have been taking it out of me. Thankfully still ahead of where I need to be to make sure you all get your content every week, still scheduled out!

Next month is Art Fight. Though I cannot draw more than stick figures, I’m making a profile there for anyone who wants to throw random Attacks at me. Think of me as a punching bag… that will be writing two quick one-shots a week to “attack back.” You all, my patrons, will of course g...

Under Pressure Ch. 10

Apologies for the slight delay on this, computer glitches happen to the best of us

---

I took my time eating, and made sure to get something for Layla. I might not be actually rich, but I was definitely doing better than she was at the moment. Gave her a chance to calm down, gave my wife and girlfriend a chance to get food back into the house. Not sure exactly what impression she would get from an empty pantry after what she had in her head, but it couldn’t be productive.

She wasn’t all that...

Quick apology

Under Pressure Chapter 10 will be up later today. Not sure why it didn’t post, but I’ll put it up when I get back to the computer. Meme unrelated

Becoming Monsters: In the Mirror Chapter 19: A Heavy Lift

This is still a noncanonical fanfiction to the Becoming Monsters series, by Ai Loves, setting used with permission. All canonical and mechanical errors are my own. The yarrb is the creation of FelisRandomis, used with permission.

This chapter is going to get really heavy for the first half, discussing relatively realistic responses to a few tropes I see get used a lot. If that’s not your jam but you want to see where the plot is going, search for the phrase “the moment was completed” and read from there.

Welcome to the Seaside Library!

Hello everyone!

Originally, I’d planned on this going out in a week or two, but you know what? I got a server, why not use it? Posting this to All Patrons now and will soon make it a part of the welcome message.

This is the community Discord for my patrons, of all tiers! Stop on by and have some fun. Discussions, NPC farm, QnA, and a few emotes starring the ever-adorable Nibbles. I hope to see you all there.

They’re just… in there being cute. Why am I here, again?

Brittany had been posted up on a rooftop with her best pair of binoculars, looking in through this man’s second-floor dormitory window, for the better part of three hours. Three. HOURS. Justin had woken up first, drew some stuff, then Abbey had woken up. A...

Chapter 7: The Grind

Todd raised his hand. “The base form is y=mx+b”

It was Monday morning, about 10:30, and already Professor Ruddertail was getting a little bit of a headache. “Yes, that is correct. Now, please let the next question go to someone else in the auditorium.” There were a few laughs around the College Algebra class, Todd’s face flamed a bit, and he shrank down into his seat. 2023-06-02 16:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post

Happy National Otter Day

Not anything to discuss, really. Just found out today that the last Wednesday of May is National Otter Day, so I felt like getting comfy and sharing it with you all. Hope your day is going well (or went well, if you’re reading this from the future). Content will continue as scheduled this Friday with I’m Blue and Tidbits.

Otter Chat: Scheduling Things

Hello, everyone! Couple of days early on this one, just wanted to sit by the fireside, as it were.

Anyway, first thing first. I have just gotten through scheduling out posts to this page through the end of July. Still need to do the finishing touches on Blue and Under Pressure for that month, but that will be right after I finish writing this chapter of Tidbits. Got on a roll, was having fun, so I found myself 3/4 of the way through it when I was just trying to get some ideas out of my head. Oops. I don't think any of you mind, though....

Chapter named after the emotional Boss Battle music from Undertale. If you have that song playing in the back of your head, you’re in my mindset for this.

I found out something else over dinner. The ladies had agreed that any of the...

Poll Winner: Tidbits

You know, “while making a post about poll results” is a heck of a time to realize the only art I have of a series is stock art and my blatant self-insert. I should fix that next month. Domochevsky should be a good choice, I think.

Anyway, the winner is clear. Tidbits will release an extra chapter on the Fifth Friday of June. Means I have to step up my writing a bit, since that will bring you to nearly the end of my backlog, but it wouldn’t be the first time Tidbit surprised me.

A new character appears! Plot things move for...

Under Pressure Ch. 9

This is the beginning of the third and final “book” of Under Pressure. I hope you have all enjoyed it as much as I have.

The small classroom felt like a restrictive kind of place as the late spring bloomed. All the windows were flung wide open to greet the air now warm enough to permit it, the sweet scent of flowers flowed in. The students also suffered from dramatically degraded attention spans, a fact which I had long since learned to take into account at the end of my semesters. Put the important information u...

A discussion and a Poll

Hello everyone!

Finally got some paid time off. Bit of a relief, really. I can catch up on things, like the house. Mrs. Otterly has been unbelievably patient with me, but I can give some time back now.

I owe all of you a chapter of Under Pressure this Friday. As WIP Patrons can likely tell you, that one has been a struggle. Finally got the setup about 90% done, but I’m only around 2,000 words out of the 4,000 I want to put out. It will be down to the wire, so let’s see how it goes. Regardless, worst case is it will be a bit s...

Over dinner, we described the results of our experiment to the others. Specifically, to Sarah. Whitney wished she had been there. I was deep in thought about what it could all mean. “Sarah, of all the people here, I think you have the best chance o...

Chapter 3: Coffee Shop

After work that evening, Abbey walked to the BuckStar alone. Brittany originally looked like she was going to join, but after seeing the look on Abbey’s face thought better of it. This time, she’d leave the hot date to her friend. It had been way too long. Brittany didn’t want to go be the third wheel while they stared soulfully in...

Chapter 6: Scheduling Conflicts

Todd’s eyes snapped open some time later to the sound of a loud knock on his door. In the space between blinks, his screen had gone from showing an in-progress minigame to being on a screensaver. He stood and stretched, back popping, and saw that his clock had jumped forward by a couple of hours, too. Lunch at the cafeteria was already out of the question, but since breakf...

Advance Warning of T1 price increase

Pic unrelated, of Viv the Crow from Fur World.

Hey, everyone. As I’ve mentioned before, I need to increase the price point of Splash in the Shadows Tier to $2. Right now, our host is taking around half of what you are trying to give me there, and I do want to use what you are giving for what I told you I would. Fueling the creators of the community. The increase will happen a week from today, on Sunday the 7th. I understand if you do not wish to stay, the content will still go out free after the usual delays.

T1 will, in return...

Chapter 2: Itty Bitty Living Space

The alarm Justin used in the mornings was not a loud one. Never had been, never needed to be, he was a light sleeper by nature. He very much had noticed when his shy girlfriend had come into their room. He had watched as she dried off and got changed, obviously not wanting to wake him. He shifted to hold her close when ...
