I rearranged my galleries a bit, including some new folders. Here's a brief rundown, in case you're having trouble finding something you liked:

Krista LeRoc - Contains both DiD novellas, The Abduction of Krista Leroc and The Trial of Driver. They are arranged in chronological order. Now prospective new readers will know exactly where to start, and where to continue. I also tried to remove some of my comments bitching for attention. When I have time, I need to go through and more properly format these stories with italics, paragraphing, etc. I tend to think of these tales as the heart of my work, so it might be a good idea to display them as such.

Old Stuff, 2004 - 2009 - Four pieces of lineart from long, long ago, before I joined deviantArt.

Old Stuff, 2011 - 2014 - Contains most of the art I've created since joining deviantArt. Nothing has been deleted, this stuff just doesn't represent the level of quality I'm currently working at.

Tributes and Collaborations
- All pieces for, about, or created with the aid of fellow kinksters. Includes stories written primarily about other deviants' OCs. These all passed the quality check as well; any pieces that didn't are in the Old Stuff folders.

From the above folder, I also managed to pull a nifty new avatar from an image I created for subshopautumn. :)

 I also removed one or two things entirely:

Non-fetish work - Just contained two old Spider-Man fan art pieces. These were of substandard quality, didn't receive any attention and didn't belong on this page anyway. Got the axe.

"Payback and Property" - Essentially a story about a rape. I acknowledge that DiD fiction occupies a weird moral gray area with fetishizing kidnapping and restraint, but I feel that I need to draw a hard line when it comes to rape. Some people have a kink for it, and I don't intend to tell them they're wrong, but I can't personally justify continuing to have that up on my page.

The result of all this is that my main gallery will present a much more organized and compact entry point for people new to my work. All that remains therein are several of my strongest standalone works of fiction and a cute sketch of reasonably high quality. If a new reader likes those, they can dive into deeper waters - which they can easily navigate using the new folders.

That leaves the stuff that's been untouched.

Cliffhangers - Nothing new happening here.

The Mayan Moon Road & Dr. Sabina Bowen - I would have combined these, but it would probably cause more confusion right now than it would alleviate. I'd like to make them a clearly chronological set of stories, as I have a rough idea of the order they come in, but currently there are pieces missing in between many of them. They were never intended to build into a unified whole, which I think might have been a mistake. But, eh; just a good reason to keep on writing them, right?

As an earlier status mentioned, I have been chugging away on a DiD project quite efficiently for a few weeks now. Nothing is going to be posted here for a while, so don't hold your breath, but my excitement about this prompted all of the re-arranging I did today.

I hope everyone out there in DiD-land is doing well, and not sneezing your heads off like I always do around springtime.
