Welps. According to this article:

The following content descriptions are classified as “pornography” under DeviantArt policies and are considered unacceptable for use in either visual art or literature submissions.

• Masturbation - Hands should not be shown or described as coming into contact with genitalia in a manner which appears to represent masturbation.

• Sexual Intercourse - Subjects should not shown or described in explicit detail as engaging in sexual intercourse. This includes depictions of sexual penetration, oral to genital contact, genital to anal contact, and oral to anal contact as well as other similar positions or interactions.

• Vaginal, Penile, or Anal Penetration - This includes depictions of any object being inserted into the vagina, penis, or anus.

• Sexual Body Fluids (actual or simulated) - There should be no depiction of semen or vaginal lubricants, including substitute materials which appear to act as replacements or "stand-ins" for these fluids.

• Bodily Waste - There should be no depiction of urine, feces, or other bodily waste.

• Erections - There should be no use of imagery depicting an erect penis, however there may be exceptions granted to illustrations created for legitimate medical or educational purposes.

• Vaginal or Anal Spreading - Female subjects should not be depicted with their labia spread or parted in any manner by hand or manipulated open or parted by any other artificial means or object. Neither sex should show the anus manually opened in a similar fashion.

• Adult Oriented (sexual) Toys - "Adult toys" consisting of dildos, strap-ons, vibrators, and similar items which are crafted to realistically represent a phallus or "receptive" vagina are not allowed. Items and devices which do not depict a male or female organ in a realistic fashion will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for acceptability in a submission.

As a writer with a lot of erotica in my gallery, this restriction is going to lead to most of my stories taken down eventually. Might as well save DA the trouble (and save me a potential ban) and delete everything. I'll be on FurAffinity, SoFurry, and other furry platforms as this same handle. I'll see you guys there!

Goodbye, DeviantArt. And probably for good this time.

A bunch has happened since my last post. It took a while, but I finally found a way to bypass Eclipse's Literature Writer, and to upload stories in the old format. I'm going to resume posting my stories back here, so stay tuned for more!

Thanks for sticking with me all this while. Have fun, and stay safe!

Heya!

As you guys know, DeviantArt has forced everyone to shift to Eclipse. In Eclipse, the old Stash Writer has been retired, and new Literature Writer is not at all convenient for me to import stories from my Google Drive.

My deepest apologies, but I will no longer be uploading new stories to DeviantArt. If the upload process improves over the next year or so, I will consider coming back. Until then, consider checking me out on my other platforms.

My stories are uploaded here:

FurAffinity: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/twistedsnakes/

SoFurry: https://twistedsnakes.sofurry.com/

My website: https://twistedsnakes.com/

To be notified on my latest story uploads and announcements, you can also join my Telegram channel: https://t.me/TwistedStories

It's been a good run, thank you all for your support! I'll see you guys on my other platforms.

Signing off,
