EMI'S Q&A CORNER: AUGUST!

hihi~!! thank you all for all your lovely questions--i'm glad to have so many people taking an interest in my work, and i really enjoyed trying to answer all the stuff you were curious about!!

general

"I've really enjoyed all your stories, and your captions always show great potential for larger narratives. Do you think Sissekai will be the sole focus of your writing for the foreseeable future or have you considered branching out?" - Glaucon

i've actually thought about this a fair bit! while i do really enjoy writing SISSEKAI, i have occasionally come up with some other ideas for stories since i started it, usually precipitated by a caption that i got really into and had to cut some ideas for in order to fit it in the space of one or two images. the main thing that's stopping me at this point is the fact that SISSEKAI is a very long story--and i'm not just referring to what i've already written!! that part is maybe only a third of what i expect the full length of SISSEKAI to end up being: there's still a ton of content left for me to get through, and i reeeeally do want to hurry up and get through it, hehe.

that said, you could easily take that as an argument that i should take a break every now and then and crank out a shorter story, maybe between arcs of SISSEKAI, since the whole thing is gonna take a long time anyway. so... i guess my final answer is a solid maybe! >.< i definitely see a world where i do just keep my focus on SISSEKAI for the next couple of years and get that done and wrapped up before starting anything else, but i could equally take a break from it for a couple of months and put out one of the other stories i have running around in my head! i'll have to keep thinking about it--and feel free to weigh in with what you guys think you'd like to see!

"Ooooh, very fun~! Then I'd like to ask... which of your characters would you most like to take the place of?" - JoeForest

ohhh, gosh. oh gosh. i-i mean, there's a few th-that i'd definitely... l-like to be. Anne from SISSEKAI i-is a big one, s-seeing as the story is practically written to incorporate all my sluttiest fantasies, and the character of Anne i-is in many ways on a fast track down that list, whether she wants it or not... but so many of those items haven't even been written yet, it almost feels like a cop-out to trot her out here! luckily, there are a couple of other contenders...

the main character of my legendary hero short story is a pretty exciting option... i-i'd loooove to go on the same lil loser pilgrimage as him, slowly discovering a-all the ways that the girls i've befriended and fallen in love with have been utterly defeated and degraded b-by the demon lord, until at last i-i return to find the l-love of my life turned i-into a cock-worshipping whore for him without a single shred of respect left for me... b-but i guess the lack of sissification makes this one a non-starter. m-maybe i'll write a sequel for it at some point...?

failing that, thoughhh, i think my vote has to go to the protag of my christmas adventure!! she gets it all--cucked, humiliated, slowly sissified over the course of a few depraved adventures, and corrupted in mind and body! best of all is her finale--choosing to stay a sissy, choosing to be eternally bound in adoring servitude to her jerk bully, getting knocked up over and over again a-and raising each resulting brat for the rest of her life, as his gorgeous sissy wife!! fhgnhfhghhgh, i-if i had to take her place, th-that would be just--ahHH!!

"When you're writing, how do you develop the voice of your characters? That is to say, are you removed from the story, or are you imagining yourself taking part (blushing and fighting your own arousal as you put proverbial ink to paper, perhaps >:3c)?" - Aldian

ohhh, goshhh... i definitely do try to imagine any scenario i put my characters through from their point of view, especially when it comes to writing any spoken dialogue--i make a big effort to have anything spoken aloud "sound" natural, and consistent with that character's previous speech patterns and current emotional state etc. etc.

as for, ummm, o-other aspects of a character's internal voice... i-i, ummm, i-i do often get very into my protagonists' heads in their erotic experiences... a-and i have been known to have to step away from my computer when things get particularly saucy... mostly because i need to stay in the mood to get my best saucy material done, and getting too excited a-and, um, dealing with it would take me out of it!!

"Ooh! This is fun! We all obviously luv your captions and stories, but who are some of YOUR favorite content creators?" - Hunnie

ohh!! gosh, there's a ton!! i think, in the interests of keeping this q&a from becoming a sprawling column of gushing about all the sissy and femdom and cuckold stuff i love, i'll limit myself to one creator per format!!

for writing, my number one spot has to go to JoeForest! ever since i discovered their work, i have been totally hooked on their stuff. imo they've really mastered the form of short story corruption, portraying a descent into utter depravity over the course of six or so chapters, and their prose and technical grasp of both plotting and the language is phenomenal too! add in their fantastic renders, and our similar tastes in kinks and overall themes, and you just have a recipe for a lovely time.

for captions, i'd have to saaay wesmantooth. they haven't been active for a long time, and they're focused on a very specific niche of BNWO-based sissification, which is maybe not eeeeveryone's cup of tea, but i personally love their take on it--in the wesmantooth canon of BNWO, "black superiority" is primarily born out by societal pressures and cultural incentives, not explicit laws. a whiteboi (o-or asianboi...) could try to get by without going through full feminisation o-or submitting to black cock, but when all the companies are black-owned and all the worthwhile jobs need you to have a DD rack and a pair of sloppy DSLs... w-well... m-maybe becoming a sissy w-w-wouldn't be that bad, right...?

in terms of just raw sissy nonsense, goshh, it's really a tie between w0llip and NanoCassiopeia. they're both so absurdly insanely gorgeous n pretty n inspirational, and oh my gosh they pick the cutest lil cages for their adorable lil dicklets, and yeah okay i'm gushing but they deserve it!

last, but definitely not least, very special mention goes to some of my best captioning friends!! waggerjob does great censors, and some amazing captions, some of which have been distressingly expertly targeted a-at hitting my deepest buttons... marfisa is an extremely good girl (who has recently reached 1,000 days of being locked!!) wh-whose introspective captions very often help me understand my own sissy desires in a much more explicit form, which has helped me a ton with writing SISSEKAI and my own caps, n-not to mention jilling off e-every now and then... and sashasore is a-a big bully who thinks she can push me around by hitting me with walls of filthy cuck and raceplay and sissy smut wh-when i least expect it!!

"This is kind of a personal question, so feel no compunction to answer! How much of yourself do you put into your work? Which is to say, do you harbor genuine feelings regarding gender and transition, or does most of your work come from fetish? I guess they aren't really exclusive, but I'd love to hear you talk about the way gender intersects with your work in a more serious way!" - figlldegrak

"Bit of a weird question so feel free not to answer: what do you view Anne's gender identity as, and, more generally, how do you view the 'typical' gender identity of the characters you write in captions? Do you view your characters generally as cis boys forced to become girls? More gender nebulous people who are made to transition in a way they would've never voluntarily chosen? Trans girls who are '''forced''' even though secretly some part of them is okay with it?" - Chewy

i'm grouping these two questions together because they kinda tread the same ground... or at least my answers to them do, hehe! starting with my characters themselves, i do try to leave the exact gender identity of my 'protagonists' somewhat vague, just because i think these sorts of stories are a bit more fun when the audience gets to project some of their own gender ideas onto them. gender itself is a very muddled, subjective thing, subject not just to your own internal perceptions of what a 'man' or 'woman' are, but also what everybody around you thinks those things are. without getting into intersex and agender stuff which--while very valid!--isn't the kind of thing i'm interested in, the idea of crossing that binary and not just existing as the other gender, but being known as it by even one other person is very compelling to me on its own, before you even get to sex stuff and my pre-existing fascination with non-con and BDSM and raceplay (racial identity of course being in a similar boat with widespread societal expectations!) and so on.

Anne, of course, is a bit of a special case, since they're much more heavily developed than any other character i've written so far... but unfortunately, their development isn't anywhere near finished yet, so i'm not at liberty to share too much about how that's going to progress! what i will say is that, at the very beginning of chapter one, i do think that (if someone had asked) they would confidently identify themselves as a cis male, and they spent quite a bit of time in bed fantasizing about "normal" adolescent male scenarios, like being dominant in a sexual situation with April, for example... but, well, i would have done the same things in my first year at uni, and look at me now! i-i can't even get off to picturing myself a-as a dom anymore... hnghh...

a-ahem!! anyway, moving on more specifically to figlldegrak's question, it's hard to say exactly what i identify as!! i've never really identified with traditionally male traits like being strong and dominant, although--like many of my protagonists--i've had times where i've aspired to them! at the same time, though, i don't have a very strong urge at this point to be actively feminine, either, outside of my imagination and roleplaying and writing and stuff. so, if i were to sort through the possibilities you floated, it's a bit hard to say that all of this stuff isn't primarily driven by what i personally find sexy--that is to say, my fetishes--but at the same time, i guess because of my tendency to over-analyze and really dive deep down into what i'm writing about, it's also hard to say that i don't have some genuine ideas about gender and what that means for me that bleed into what i write in this area.

overall, i guess you could summarize my response to all these questions as a very protracted and thoughtful, "hmmm, i'm not quite sure!" ;p

"Ever thought of making a discord? Seems most patreon I check out have one." - J.A.N

well, i actually have a server set aside rn, waiting to go... i probably should start it up at some point, huh? i've been meaning to do some housekeeping on it beforehand, maybe install some cool widgets or figure out how i'm gonna handle moderation... but maybe this is a place where i've been letting perfect be the enemy of good, or good be the enemy of vaguely adequate, or something.

sissekai

"Will you ever increase the numbers of Sissekai chapters you release per month? Also, maybe a bit spoilery, but will you ever use mpreg in the story?" - John Doe

the writing schedule for SISSEKAI as it stands is basically that new chapters already do come out about as quickly as i can write 'em! definitely my potential output can go beyond the roughly-one-per-month that i've been sustaining this year (i've done once every two weeks a few times!), buuut whether i can access that level of output depends a lot on rather mercurial resources like inspiration and motivation.

as for mpreg, well, i wouldn't want to give away anything, but it's definitely a kink that i have a great deal of love for... especially in combination with futa stuff. certainly don't rule it out!

"Will you ever take story ideas or suggestions from patreon members? Or do you have a completed idea of the entire story already?" - John Doe

as of writing, i have all the major story beats for SISSEKAI more-or-less figured out... and i think any leeway i've left myself on the beats in between are probably still best filled by myself, hehe. that said, someone has floated the idea of using reader-submitted names for various player characters, and i'm not opposed to that! i just need to figure out some logistical hangups that i have on that front before i'd do anything in that vein.

"Ok, I've been wondering this one for a while. If Anne had drunk that mirroring brew, what type beastkin would she have become?" - --- --

ahah, this is a fun one!! i think i saw one person theorise that she might have ended up as a bunny, identifying her as an adorable, fearful prey animal at heart, and while that does make a lot of sense and would be super cute and fun and sexy, i actually think she would have become a sheepkin! sheep are a very iconic, um, let's say partner for wolves, and i think a cute little pair of nubby little horns peeking out from under her bangs would be a fun hint at her, ahhh, gender situation!

captions

"Love your captions and Sissekai. What's your favourite type of caption to make?" - the Norwegian one

ohhh, this is a tough one!! on a day-to-day or even week-to-week or month-to-month basis, it really depends on my mood: sometimes i'm super into asian stuff for a while, sometimes i'm in a huge BNWO mood, sometimes i really wanna do some futa stuff, and so on! right now, i'm on a big big bigggg BNWO kick, of course with a big asian slant (s-since, well, th-that's what i am...), but with the asian rehab galleries i have planned coming up, w-we'll see how long that lasts...

if we're looking at an overall favourite, like the thing i'm mostly consistently, hnghgh, t-touching myself to... i do think it would have to be asian rehab sissy captions!! the whole concept marries a bunch of my fave kinks of all time--asians getting dommed, quick n easy sissification, cum-eating, mass government-sponsored subjugation of sissies, cuckolding (and "reverse" cuckolding!)--and of course there's also a sentimental aspect, in that coming up with this world and wanting to portray it is pretty much the reason why i started captioning at all!!

i also reeeeally enjoy making the occasional "sissy in denial" caption--that is, a sissy who's very obviously super far gone into subby slutty bimbo world, but still stubbornly maintains that she's not a sissy at all a-and she has a very good and very masculine reason for getting spitroasted between two giant studs, actually. i-i, umm, i-it resonates with me, for some mysterious reason that we definitely don't need to investigate any further.

and there you have it~! i'm all questioned out for this round, but given this fantastic response + interest i'll definitely be doing another q&a at some point--maybe at the end of the year? anyway, thanks for reading (and asking all these lovely questions), and i'll see you in the next post!
