Derren Grathy Returns

Long time no see, Blogger denizens. It has been awhile, and I have been up to a few things...

Expectations

Let me begin by tempering expectations. First, I don't have any plans to revive my Blogger-blogging. As I recounted on my previous post, Blogger as a platform has been on a long trend towards censorship and burying adult content for years. 

Despite even a year of renewed efforts in 2022, the platform had been throttling and preventing success of Impregnation Erotica for quite some time. No longer can people just follow the link and see some boobies and bellies, but rather they have to jump through Google's verification hoops. I myself have trouble even getting to my own homepage from how many blockades jump in my way!

The only emails I've been receiving regarding this blog have been notices of banned and removed content. The backlog is riddled and pocked with removals and broken links, a painful thing to see for the archivist in me. Fixing all that while this blog has been systematically throttled for years is simply not viable. Reversing a decade-long downward trend is just not going to happen on a dying platform like Blogger.

The juice isn't worth the squeeze for Blogger, not when I have other more viable platforms I am developing as we speak.

Burnout

From 2023 - 2025, I was fairly lethargic. In the whole of that time I wrote and published only one story, Orcs Conquer the Drow Queen, which was originally supposed to be a side-story to a side-project of the main project I was procrastinating about. It had been in media res for about 3 years before I finally sat down and finished it. It was a good story though, one of my favorite fantasy stories to date, but one short story in 3 years isn't going to pay for the groceries so to speak.

Especially with my marketing non-expertise. In all these years, I haven't ever gotten around to actually learning how to market outside of just putting out content. On the one hand, in an age of astroturfed e-celebrity, whatever success I've had here has been completely "organic", however accidental getting viewers at all has been. That's an accomplishment of sorts! But as this blog's viability waned, so too did the magnitude of any success at all. And even at its height, Blogger didn't reach my readers in a way that would turn them into customers despite the superior quality of my premium work.

But marketing isn't to blame for the fundamental problem - I was burnt out and simply not producing anything of value. No content means no audience means no success. Misgvings about certain topics I had written about, despite their commercial promise, gnawed at me. The time I spent hunting for erotica was immense, and I found myself not even enjoying the things I was finding. Puttering around for digital pussy doesn't exactly stoke a healthy sense of pride for a creative soul like mine.

It also didn't help that during this time period Smashwords, the publishing platform that held a special place in my heart for being where I made my first dollar publishing a book in 2013, suddenly closed my account and removed all of my titles. Not over a content violation, but due to a Person of Call Center not filing my tax information properly. There was no appeal, and no response to my protest. A decade of works - gone.

The works themselves are fine. I keep local copies of every significant work I pen. But that loss wasn't encouraging a lot of creative enterprise in me either, especially considering my naughtier premium works that Amazon and Patreon refuse to handle no longer had any platform to be published on at all.

Rekindling

Towards the end of 2025, after years of not accomplishing much in the world of erotic writing, I finally felt creatively restless. I enjoyed that work, writing enjoyable pieces for all of you, and I am good at it if I do say so myself. The prospect of potentially making a career, or at least a decent side-income doing so, was always exciting to me since I began. 

While I remained firm in my desire to no longer proliferate most forms of what I consider "unethical porn" (think sad factory-chickens versus happy pasture-chickens - only horny), I am still far from being a prude when it comes to the erotic. The advent of AI imagry sparked both my terror and interest, and I learned enough of it in 2025 alongside improving my Photoshop skills to be able to generate a few images viable enough to turn into new, passable cover art.

Never having been an artist in drawing and painting, I nevertheless have made myself into a competent enough editor of existing imagery. Photoshop and Premiere have been my bread and butter for many projects, even while the humble sketching pencil eluded me. 

My AI skills and toolsets leave much to be desired, but it gave me a tool that sparked my creative instincts once again. The prospect of being able to potentially "illustrate" portions of my works on my own accord was very interesting, and to do so with free tools (I use ComfyUI rather than corporate models) got me excited to think of the possibilities.

Around that time, I decided to give this whole erotica business another go. The main challenge was to re-establish the discipline necessary to put my pen to paper so to speak, as opposed to just my dick into my hand. That happens to, but no one else gets to enjoy that as much! 

So in December of 2025 I returned to my likewise neglected Patreon and wrote a long-delayed Christmas story. Amazingly, despite having done just about absolutely nothing for it save one post since 2022, there were still a handful of Patrons donating monthly to me. I appreciate them immensely, even if it was just due to them forgetting to cancel their payments to an inactive creator. I sought to reward their patience/blissful unawareness with new content, and I did.

Since then, I've been committing myself to trying to write a little every day. 500 words a day towards some erotic enterprise for a guy constantly writing away on a keyboard isn't a huge stretch. When you do the math it would amount to 182,500 words per year, enough words to make a lot of excellent stories come to life! Factor in too my tendency to have creative bursts frequently enough where 500 words turns into 3k in a single sitting, and the viability of filling out my erotic catalogue suddenly became not just possible, but almost inevitable.

I haven't been perfect about it. Several weeks here and there have gone by without a naughty word being put to the page. But for several months now I have been able to post a new story - along with new pictures and even video clips made in-house - on my Patreon and new SubscribeStar regularly. Even the really spicy stuff. And more interesting projects, I assure you, are coming.

Onward

So, what does this mean for ImpregnationErotica?

Well, I'll probably use what remains of this blog to promote my works, with a generous helping of previews to help sell you on the cost of subscription. My subscription prices start at a modest $5 for many exclusive and early-access stories all together, and my individual premium stories are $3 per short story, and bundles being something like $2 + $1 per story if I remember my math correctly.

I used to argue that my short stories were the cost of just a few cups of coffee, but now thanks to inflation, access to my erotic works are now cheaper than your average cup of coffee! Silver linings, right? So let me describe my different current platforms and what they specialize in:

Linktr.ee

It's not so much a platform as it is a basket of my platforms! It took me quite a few years to finally appreciate the elegance and utility of having a link aggregator like Linktr.ee working for me, and so I finally got around to setting one up. It should be a one-stop shop to keep appraised of all Derren Grathy haunts and contact points.

Amazon

After Smashwords nixed my catalog, I've been able to exclusively sell most of my titles on Amazon. This brought along a small perk - Most of my books are now available through their Kindle Select program, meaning you can read them "for free" if you have Kindle Select. Which isn't really free in the end, but it is more readily accessible if you already have it. 

As ever I greatly appreciate the ratings and positive comments on my stories. I'd suggest the following metric: If my story makes you cum just once, 4-stars. If it makes you cum more than once, 5-stars. If it's a favorite story, leave a comment. And if it fails to make you cum at all, just refund it entirely. Helps my morale and sales a ton!

Patreon

This has been my main platform for premium content. For every one book I get released on Amazon, I generally have two or three other stories that I've written mostly for Patreon as monthly stories. And content isn't just limited to stories. I have experimented with a few more ambitious projects in years past, such as a visual novel and a Choose Your Own Erotica design.

Already the backlog on Patreon is large enough to give you a lot of value for its $5 a month option. I've even added in a $1 option as well, allowing you to participate in voting for what my monthly projects will be. At my humble subscribers numbers now, most decisions are determined by a single vote. That is a lot of power to have for just $1 I'd say!

SubscribeStar

Sure, it's a little redundant to have SubscribeStar as well as a Patreon, except for one very important difference - content restrictions. Patreon has been gradually sliding towards an anti-adult policy for years. It isn't as terrible as Blogger and other platforms, yet, but it's trending that way like so many others. Even this year I have had two projects get nuked off of my page due to supposed content violations - one in the visual forms, another about story content.

SubscribeStar subscriptions cost $5 just like Patreon and will come to contain much, if not all, of the content that I've created on Patreon - with the addition of works too spicy for Patreon or Amazon to handle, AND audiobook files, AND more pictures and videos I've generated myself! My hope is to build out a full alternative that will not sink when the day (probably) comes where Patreon no longer tolerates my brand of erotic endeavors, so we'll see how that goes.

Twitter (X)

I suppose I have one of those. Have had it for over a decade actually, but I haven't the foggiest idea on how to actually build up the following there. Do I use hash tags? Do I become a Reply Guy in some other horny-person's threads? Is there some kind of club or forum I can park the account in to gather an audience? It's all arcane to me in my marketing-challenged ways.

Still, I have it, and sometimes I even use it. So I suppose it is worth sharing here. Feel free to suggest great impregnation/pregnancy content accounts to follow.

Thanks

To those still here and reading this blog, I'm glad that you have enjoyed it over the years. It was a great achievement for me during its heydays, and something that brought a lot of pleasure and joy to others. I am optimistic that there are still greater achievements ahead for my works, and I hope you all will consider continuing to enjoy what I have to offer in my newer capcities.

As I mentioned, I am woefully ignorant of how to conduct marketing in general, and particularly for erotic work. So if any of you have any ideas of how to reach out or places/people who might appreciate premium impregnation erotic topics, let me know in the comments or to my email at DerrenGrathy@gmail.com - I appreciate any leads that can get my works into more hands!

Important Update

Hello, my fertile-minded followers!

You may have noticed my absence from updates here. I apologize for that. I have been well personally, so no need to worry. The easiest way to explain my absence is that of burnout, but the sources of those misgivings I will explain below.

The Misgivings

My blog here has been operating for over a decade now, and it definitely shows its age. It's heyday seemed to be between 2014 - 2015, after which it hit a plateau in viewership that I never have been able to quite breach. And after 2018, it went into a steady decline. Granted I've never done advertising or marketing of any significant kind, so all this was organic growth and something I was and am quite proud of. But fundamentally I think this mode of content-sharing is just outdated and not serving my audience best.

Speaking of content, that's been a problem on a few fronts. First, I've come to rely on mostly just sharing stuff I'd gathered from around the internet, which was easy enough but not exactly original. The pictures and gifs were no-brainers, but even the prospect of regenerating my stores of them became burdensome. Site reviews and comics were better, but I definitely didn't feel energized at the prospect of making those. And the real good posts of original content - stories, captions, video - I haven't made in a long time due to that lethargy and increasing guilt of having not delivered content for awhile.

Second, my original and premium content has become more interesting to me over the years, but my blog here was adapted to being a free content source. While I still do believe it is a useful model to have plenty of free content for others to enjoy with some sources of premium awesome content for those willing to pay, I don't know if I handled it very well structurally or otherwise. In any case my production of work diminished to basically nothing over time, and the guilt I felt about not delivering to my audience, particularly my Patrons, just further sapped my will to continue delivering that work.

My blog had been also getting a spate of content warnings and strikes. I'd never had content strikes before, but it seemed to herald the coming of the end of the blog anyway on this platform. This is not the first time Blogger has cracked down on adult topics. For an already burning-out mindset, the notion of having hard-work thrown into the trash by the platform itself was particularly demoralizing. How long would it be until my whole blog got the big red stamp? I don't know, but it didn't inspire much enthusiasm for sure.
 

For a time I went back into the backlogs of my work here and began trying to clean them up, not just for off-limit content but also for personal sentiments. I've come to find certain topics that I used to enjoy not enjoyable anymore. Even porn itself, a major swath of what I post here, has largely lost its luster for me. In short I think certain topics are degrading to people and encourage actual bad behavior. I'd have to go into my detail on what I mean in some future post, but in any case I felt so uneasy about promoting those topics that I've come to dispose of it from my own work. I feel strongly enough about this that I unpublished premium works that were making the majority of my revenue. I have refused commissions and publishing of other work that, while great in terms of writing in my opinion, were violating my changing conscience on those matters.

But there is so, so much content that I don't agree with anymore that riddles this blog, and so much that I found I'd become addicted to that I can't stomach anymore. To go back through over a decade of posts and selectively dismantle the work of my own hands was an unpleasant task to even think about, let alone do. During a time where I could hardly muster up the energy to make original content, to trash older work was arduous and unrewarding for everyone. So those efforts stopped after awhile, and so did my uploading of new content as well.

Overall, there were many reasons why my uploading fizzled away. Not for the first time either, just the most apparent time.

Why I made Impregnation Erotica

This blog has been one of my favorite accomplishments. I began this effort way back in 2011. I had been inspired by a fellow author Tara Bridges (creator of The Colony universe, a fun breeding scenario) who had made her own blog on this platform and one which I emulated in the creation of mine. What I wanted to make was a repository of impregnation-themed erotica of every sort, having found that my favorite sexual genre was woefully difficult to find for someone as search-illiterate as I.

Over the years, I was able to find all kinds of sources of great stories, videos, captions, games, and more. I partnered with TheImpregNation to facilitate erotic writing competitions, worked with Lelu Love to give prizes to story competitions, saw scripts turned into comics and videos, promoted even more artists and writers too numerous to recount here, and of course got to share my own work. It was using the platform of this blog that I got the first tender sales for my writing.

To know that something I made would actually be enjoyed by other people to the point that they would buy it was so incredibly affirming and inspiring. It's been great having been able to share my passion for this kind of erotica and share not just the great works of others but my own to those who share my enjoyment. I wanted to make a place where a niche topic could have the kind of exploration and collection that I was always searching for, and I think in my small way I contributed towards that over many years of effort. For that I am happy to have helped bring happiness to others.

Going Forward

So, going forward, what will happen? I'm not sure. I think the writing is on the wall for Blogger, but which other platform(s) would be a better home for a blog of this nature? Given all the issues I listed I think the only reasonable course is either to accept a retirement from this kind of work, or to create a new Impregnation Erotica on a different platform that can give me a clean slate and address the other issues.

If I would do the latter, it would be focused specifically on original content, sharing great authors and artists, and as a storehouse of other breeding content in a more suitable format. On my side I would have to fully figure out a healthier lifestyle and relationship with the erotic and get more disciplined about producing great works for you all. That way I can feel more fully comfortable with the work I've put out and more inspired to actually contribute more to it. In any case, I'd like to soon retire this blog and possibly have all the best of it preserved on a new site like that in such a way that my loyal audience would agree that it was all a great improvement.

So if you know of a better place to make a new site, examples of formats that you find enjoyable, suggestions on improvements, or just want to say something about all this, please let me know in the comments or via email to DerrenGrathy@gmail.com so I can consider them. It's been one of my greatest pleasures to share some fantasies and the enjoyable materials of others with you, and I hope you all have enjoyed what I have provided over the years.

Juunigatsu-gou

 

Short and dirty NTR fantasy material. A girl is manipulated by a dominant guy to make a lewd recording of her getting bred to send to her long-lost love interest. While I am not so much a fan of the fat ugly guy stealing the pretty young lass thing that characterize 90% of NTR scenarios, the art here from Terasu MC is fantastic and the colorization is very inviting indeed!

Saki ni Haramaseta Mono ga Danna ni Nareru Mura

Very long title that basically gives the whole plot away of this one: A village where the girl marries the first guy who impregnates her. Well that is going to be a tough call whose spunk does the trick, since it seems these ladies get orgy-bred day and night, from defloration to birth! It’s one of those comics that has both the text and non-text versions for those of you who just want to see cute anime girls getting fucked in all their naughty glory.

Queen’s Burrow

Now here’s a fairly rare kind of monstergirl scenario set in the Resident Evil universe. Our hero is assailed by a female Licker who is far more keen on securing herself a breeding slave than her next meal. Her design isn’t exactly my favorite, but the art style from Double Deck Seisakujo has a certain raw and exaggerated quality to it that makes the vicious fucking all the more tangible and visceral. A quintessential Why Boner.

FF7 Doujinshi

This colorful and cutesy story from Cytoscourge has Aerith and Tifa ambushing Cloud and using him as a living fucktoy for their perverted, girlish desires. Full color and with a nice Westernize-anime style, the character designs are great and the dialogue is silly but cute. Turns out that the contraception materia wasn’t equipped before their encounter… don’t you hate it when that happens?
