Start Of Year/January's Newsletter
Hello, everyone!
I deliver to you the first newsletter of 2026.
This was originally going to be an ‘end of year newsletter’, but I figured it made more sense to start the year with it instead, since we were going to have January’s newsletter right after it anyway. In other words, this takes over for January’s newsletter.
First, allow me to state that 2025 passed by FAR too quickly. I shall do everything in my power to slow down time in 2026, but that is unlikely to work, so brace yourselves.
Fast-passing year or not, I had a great time writing tons of bizarre and way-too-large smut in 2025.
For a simple TL;DR, you can skip to the very end to check any specific announcements for this month.
Now, let us review 2025 and look forward to a great 2026 together!
Subscribestar Releases - 2025
I wrote tons of crazy fun commissions last year. But, like 2024’s end of year newsletter, I want to focus on this page and its content.
Below is a look at all the Subscribestar stories released in 2025.
In order of release:
- Something Is Seriously Wrong With Carrie – Chapter 3 – Finale – 47,5k words;
- Passing The Sin Along – Epilogue – 6,5k words;
- Blacked By A Toxic Futanari In America – Chapters 2 & 3 – 13,3k & 20,4k words;
- Secret Bond – Chapter 1 – 24,4k words;
- Adding A BBC To The Family – Chapter 8 – 39,8k words;
- Fertility Festival Of Hera – Chapters 1 & 2 – 14,3k & 22,2k words;
- Outsourced Bitch – Chapters 1 & 2 – 15,7k & 20,7k words;
- Momo Is Built For It – Chapters 1 & 2 – 17,8k & 26,7k words;
- Perverse Bonds – Chapters 3 & 4 – 27k & 18,7k words;
- The Black King Piece – Chapters 5-8 – 84k words;
- Wally Pushes Hard – Chapters 1-4 – 81,5k words.
That makes for 480k words of smut, more or less – again, not counting commissions. Though I think it’s a big volume, I am not satisfied with it and wish I had gotten way more chapters done. Still, I am pleased in terms of quality and think I did some of my best work this year.
I hope you enjoyed these stories!
Productivity In 2025
As mentioned above, I think I wrote a lot in 2025, but it’s still far below my desired target.
Counting everything I wrote last year up to the last second, it was +-780,000 words. For reference, 2024 was 1,030,000 words and 2023 was 1,200,000. I had some life-related slowdowns during the second half of the year, but that doesn’t really matter to me.
I see 2024/2023 as my baseline in terms of writing volume, and there are so many series I want to wrap up – hence the whole exclusive-series-slaying arc – so I shall remain eternally dissatisfied with my volume performance in 2025.
Nevertheless, I don’t care to wallow! I gave it my all in 2025, and 2026 shall be a massacre. By which I mean, I shall strive for unknown records of output volume!
Now, in terms of my HF, AO3, and Subscribestar pages, I’m pretty satisfied.
- HF went from 1,033 fans to 1,373;
- AO3 went from 1,114 user subs to 1,731 (updating AO3 tags was likely a great idea);
- Subscribestar went from 473 subscribers to 541 (Free Tier not counted).
I have no doubt that these numbers could have grown more had I kept up the same writing pace as 2024, but hey, I’m still happy with them. It just means I have even more drive to outperform in 2026!
Noteworthy Polls Of 2025
Let’s take a brief but fun trip down Memory Lane. What did we have in terms of polls during 2025?
I did this poll before the finale of Something Is Seriously Wrong With Carrie came out. It’s one of the few times I’ve polled you guys directly on the events of an ongoing series. Honestly, I should do it more.
The voting surprised me a little. Out of 73 votes, 52 (71.23%) were cheering for Carrie to ‘win’ – whatever that meant.
You might be asking yourself if this poll decided the ending of this series. The answer is no, as that had already been long since decided when I outlined Chapter 1 way back when. Of course, things change and evolve along the way every time I write a multi-chapter story, but this one was always slated to end more or less how it did. This poll was just because I was curious if I was going to get crucified for it!
Do keep an eye out for the incoming remaster. I intend to update all the images from the finale as well as the text of the final chapter's last ‘part’ (I’m not specifying more than this because I don’t want to spoil those who have not read it yet, but if you read it, you know what part I’m referring to). Though, don’t expect a different ending. I’m only refining what it already is.
We run this poll every six months, and it might be my favorite. I’m always curious to see what the trends are for the characters in my non-commissioned stories; I.E, Prompt Poll winners.
That time around, Ashley from Perverse Bonds VERY massively led the poll, with Rias from The Black King Piece close behind her. Everyone else was quite distant – and this was long before Chapter 3 & 4 of Perverse Bonds and 5-8 of The Black King Piece.
I look forward to the next results.
This might be the single most surprising poll result for me. I lived my entire life convinced that people listened to music when reading books, smut, or whatever else. As it turns out, almost none of you listen to music when reading smut.
What the fuck. I seriously thought this was a normal thing – which is hilarious, because I also do not listen to music when reading things, so I thought I was the odd one out.
I was curious to know if most people cared for the drafts of the WIP Subscribestar stories. The results were more or less what I expected. 69% said it depends on the story, 15% wait for the full release, and 15% read drafts. If we add the first and last groups, about 85% care for them.
This makes sense to me, as the Fighter tier blew up in popularity after I started posting drafts.
That’s right, they did not always exist! Now you know some Usurpman lore.
Okay, well, this one is self-explanatory, and the result is even more. 93% of you voted that the AI images enhance the reading experience for you.
That’s great, because I agree, and the quality of the images increased a lot after NovelAI V4 and V4.5 came out. I think the ones in the incoming chapter of Stacy’s Got The Wheel are the best yet.
A very small minority doesn’t like them. For you, worry not, as I intend to continue posting image-less versions; and you can always read them on HF/AO3, where no images are posted (only linked).
I posted this poll before releasing Adding A BBC To The Family – Chapter 8. The reason for it might have become obvious to those who read the chapter, or perhaps not.
Chapter 8 features a crossover with Method Acting and BBC Addiction. With Adding A BBC To The Family entering its final arc, I had been mentally exploring/considering the idea of crossovers with other series/characters of mine for months already but was hesitant. Ultimately, I concluded that I reeeeeeeally wanted to do it and it could be cool, so I figured it’d be a good idea to see how many people might even recognize other characters/series in a potential crossover.
To be honest, I don’t know that the poll influenced my decision; and I still have other crossovers to make. Some of the series included in that list are actually commissions, but I made sure to ask the commissioner first. In other words, unless I change my mind between now and Chapter 9, expect to see characters from some of those other series feature into Adding A BBC To The Family’s final arc.
Though, I should note that House Of Temptations has about a 0.000001% of ever being crossed over in that series. I included it in this poll purely out of curiosity. I don't think it fits thematically.
Also, someone might ask, so let me get ahead of it: Stacy’s Got The Wheel is never crossing over with any of those series. Its world/theme simply does not match the others.
Oh, yes, as for the results of the poll: It was actually pretty balanced. I’m always surprised by how popular House Of Temptations is; I am equally unsurprised by how popular Tiffany Goes Back To College is.
I actually expected more of a majority on ‘yes’, but most were neutral. In the end, Prompt Showdowns were born shortly after this poll. I look forward to bringing back Prompt Polls. They have been halted, as mentioned in the last winner announcement post.
With 128 votes, exactly 60% like it, and 36% are neutral.
That makes sense. A time lapse is as much a tool as any other trope. That said, I like them a lot! They’re great for ‘fucked silly’ scenes.
With 168 votes, 58.8% found me through Hentai-Foundry and 35.8% through AO3. 1 person found me through Twitter/X, and 2 through Subscribestar.
The AO3 percentage increased a lot from 2024 to 2025. That aligns with my user subs increasing a lot there too. Updating tags was a great idea. Many thanks to fellow supporter Mikey B for making this suggestion to me.
I won’t delve too into detail here, since I already made posts related to this poll. The summary is that you guys really love The Black King Piece, but I was pretty happy to see quite a bit of interest distributed across my other series too. Noteworthy mentions for Fertility Festival Of Hera, Outsourced Bitch, and Blacked By A Toxic Futanari In America.
As for the less popular ones, I blame time gaps. But they shall return in force and conquer the world.
This one was pretty crazy to me. Momo from Momo Is Built For It was a beast in popularity, followed by Zoe and Kushina. Some noteworthy OCs were Miko from Outsourced Bitch and Rebecca from Adding A BBC To The Family.
I don’t let these polls dictate which characters I ‘favor’ or the direction of their stories, and As a writer, I think this is a strength rather than a weakness.. BUT! I am always curious to see who people like the most.
I look forward to the next poll of this type.
You guys chose Outsourced Bitch over Momo Is Built For It. This result surprised me, but I’m also happy to know there’s love for my OCs.
Worry not. Momo shall have her time to shine.
This was fun to poll you guys on. It was also an absolute massacre, holy shit. Rebecca was REALLY preferred for Front Page and Zoe for Welcome Media. The winning choice had 88% of the vote.
Degenerates united shall never be defeated!
Same as the above poll. You guys were VERY decided on the winning set (Momo for Series Links and Hippolyta for Workflow Central), with 84% of the vote.
Degenerates united shall never be defeated!
The Black King Piece won for the third year and row, and thus was posted on HF/AO3 far earlier than the intended moment. The real surprise was that Momo Is Built For It almost won. The last time, the almost-winner was Hollow Strength.
Gee, I wonder who will almost win next time!
Santa of Degeneracy thanks you all for allowing him to diffuse accountability.
Noteworthy Moments Of 2025
We’ve done polls. Now, let us go through this page’s most relevant moments of 2025!
Some of these don’t have links, as they are simply ‘events’.
- Usurpman considered exclusive AI images as a Merchant tier perk but totally ditched the idea
Did you know? There’s still a completely worthless “Emporium of Degeneracy” channel in the Discord server. Maybe I’ll revive it for our incoming Bonus Side Content experiment.
As for the idea itself, I was quite enamored with how good NovelAI V4/V4.5 is, but it ultimately isn’t worth the time investment in my opinion. I’d rather just write more. I believe most of you feel the same way.

Special feature: AI imagery of Ashley from Perverse Bonds ONE & TWO | by sydlorem
Many thanks to fellow degenerate boonman34 for appreciating Ashley and Perverse Bonds to the point of commissioning AI work of her TWICE. I quite like this series and look forward to writing more Ashley (and Eva, Lexi, and William, of course).
Many thanks to fellow degenerate UnendingBrownie for commissioning a beautiful piece of art involving everyone’s favorite redhead devil. I am well aware that The Black King Piece is a force of its own around here, so I shall do my best to keep it up to par with everyone’s expectations. Look forward to more Tokiket shenanigans. There’s a lot to happen.
- I updated the tags of all my stories on AO3 and HF
This was back in February, and it actually took a lot of time, but it was worth it. I think it got me a lot more reach (especially on AO3). Once again, many thanks to Mikey B for making me aware that you can write whatever you want for AO3 tags. I thought I was limited by the scroll-down options, and so I never got creative with the tags.
I had been religiously avoiding creating a Discord server from the very beginning of my ‘career’, worried that it would turn into a second job because of moderation.
Alas, my worries were unfounded – at least so far. It’s been great to have a Discord community, and it’s fun to read everyone’s discussions and memes.
I still reserve the right to completely change my mind and go kaboom on it someday.
Usurpman is so evil!
- The great March wait for NovelAI V4!
Where were YOU when the world shivered and cried in wait for chapters 2 and 3 of Blacked By A Toxic Futanari In America, but Usurpman evilishly REFUSED to release it before NovelAI V4 came out so he could get better images for the story?
Anyway, I think it was totally worth it. I also think the images got a lot better over time as I improved at using the upgraded generator. We have NovelAI V4.5 now, and I think the images in the incoming Stacy’s Got The Wheel chapter shall be the best yet.
For those who might not remember, I believe I literally skipped sleep to get all the images done in one go and release the chapter ASAP after V4 came out. That was kinda wild.
- Usurpman promised he would be stricter with story sizes back in March
I’m not gonna say anything. Just laugh.
- First crowdfunding for a story ever (albeit unsuccessful)
Back in March, there was a prompt that people really liked in the previous Prompt Poll but did not win: the High School Of The Dead prompt. It ultimately won in October.
Before then, I tried to see if people would be willing to ‘crowdfund it’. There were a few backers, but not enough.
Realistically speaking, it’s probably better this way. I am already way too packed with ongoing series.
For the record, I also included another prompt in the crowdfunding effort because I find the premise to have plenty of potential in smut and comedy (and God knows I like random comedy in smut). I’ll include it here again.
-
(OC) At Bronze Bells, Women of any background may come to train and workout without the limits of society and a gaze upon them. Outside of the gym, it’s known as a cesspool of overly violent women held together by shared ferocity and shaded complexions, be it tanned or natural. To others, an exclusive club of dark-skinned dommy mommies. But for one man unaware of the public view, are just a bunch of skittish, introverted, and awkward ladies. (Light/Wholesome, Comedy, Oblivious MC, Interracial, BWC, Tall x Short, Large/Tall Women, Muscular Women, False Façades, Femcels, Girl Failures, Soft Maledom, Femsub, Tall/Muscular/Shaded Female Appreciation, Masturbation, Slow Harem, Orgy, Marathon Sex, Lovemaking, Condomplay)
I am not sure if I’d be willing to crowdfund it anymore considering my current backlog. But maybe?
Femcels deserve love too!
- The first-ever crossover between two Usurpman series
Adding A BBC To The Family received the generous crossovers of Kimberly from Method Acting and Paige from BBC Addiction. It was my first-ever real crossover, though we did have a minor ‘world’ crossover from Like A Lamb To The Sexual Slaughter in Hollow Strength, as both series are set in the same ‘universe’.
I’m not a big fan of small cameos. I prefer it when crossovers play a relevant role in the story. I hope to do right by this idea in the series mentioned above (and expect more crossovers in Adding A BBC To The Family, if I don’t change my mind).
We also had a crossover in a commissioned series:
Teddy’s Depraved High School Reunion was graced with Nina from Nina’s Unique Workday Experience.
- 2025 innaugurated Prompt Showdowns!
From now on, whenever two prompts have a five-or-less vote gap in the Prompt Election, they move to a 1v1 duel in the Prompt Showdown!
BUT! This matters not anymore, since…
- 2025 MURDERED Prompt Polls!
Where were YOU when Usurpman pulled a gun and shot Prompt Polls in the face in front of everyone?
I was right there, shooting the gun in question. I mean, it was me. You all saw it.
You see, in 2025 I started the world-renowned exclusive-series-slaying arc (you may have heard about it. It was all over mainstream media and Hollywood). But, apparently, I cartoonishly suck at slaying series. I also suck at one-shots. And so, more often than not, Prompt Polls result in new series and more backlog.
For that reason, we are halting Prompt Polls for the foreseeable future. I love them and I know you all do too, but it had to be done.
Now, of course, there was no need to shoot them in the face with a shotgun, but that was simply for the drama. Please disregard the gore and focus on the ‘I am being responsible’ part of it all.
Prompt Polls were a mainstay of this page, and a key perk of the Merchant and Fighter tiers. I want to replace them with something worthy that doesn’t simply result in the same workload clog from another angle.
I’ve said this a few times already, but my plan is to experiment with the Bonus Side Content idea I mentioned back in
December’s Newsletter. Expect to see a post about it in the next few days, as I’d like to start it this month (and hopefully early too).
- 2025 gave birth to the Six Pool!
Where were YOU when Usurpman gave BIRTH to six little zerglings in front of everyone?!
I was right there, doing the birth-giving.
I know. It was gross, but moderately amazing too. Really makes you think, huh?
To manage the obscene number of ongoing Subscribestar series I have at the moment, I decided to create a small list of series to focus on at a time, with the rest waiting in the Reserve Pool for a slot to free up – I.E, a series to conclude.
You can check out the current Six Pool
HERE.
And yes, I played Zerg in Starcraft II. No, I was not good.
- Usurpman closed for commissions never to reopen again!
That’s slander. I want to reopen very soon, in fact. Since we’re halting the start of new series by cold-bloodedly murdering Prompt Polls, I think I can manage taking commissions again. However, I intend to only open for sequel commissions. In other words, chapters for unfinished series. I don’t like the idea of people commissioning part of a series from me and then not being able to commission the next parts because I am closed.
Note that we’re still talking limited slots, so I can’t take all commissions even if they are all sequels. Also, I will likely raise my rates. They were 20 USD/1,000 words last time. Not sure what the price will be this time.
Let me get a grip on my work rhythm first to see if it’s even feasible for me to open up. Maybe we'll have an announcement in late January.
- I started using Mega.nz for uploading stories too
It seems that some countries have banned pixeldrain for whatever reason. So, I use Mega.nz now too. All must be able to access degeneracy!
- There was a bleached revolution
Where were YOU when the BWC/bleached tag shot the BBC/blacked tag in the face?
I was right here, remembering when I used to have to ban the BBC tag to ensure variety. How times have changed.
Maybe we’ll be banning BWC next time around, huh?
Trends in Usurpman land come and go with absolutely no warning or logic. I hope for ebony, lesbian, and femcel love in the future! But I guess we can settle for feet too.
Who the fuck knows? I’ve given up on trying to predict Prompt Polls, and I’m the one running them.
- Usurpman was BRUTALLY murdered in September and October
Where YOU when The Black King Piece pulled a gun and shot ME in the face?
I was right there, staring down the barrel of the gun.
Fortunately, I rose from the dead with 84k words of- oh my God, I write way too much, someone help me.
Life inconveniences struck me in September, and the next chapter of The Black King Piece turned into a beast out of my control, resulting in a great delay for the final release. I was kind of ashamed of not having it ready as early as I’d like to, and it felt awkward to make repeated posts of ‘I’m working’. Also, I think at some point I announced that the next draft would be the last one, and it turned out to be a RIDICULOUS overestimation on my part.
I ended up immersing myself in the shadows, only to return once the chapter(s) was completed. I believe some people even got worried that something might have happened to me. It was a mistake of me to become one with the darkness, and I shall not repeat it.
I also promised not to write another mega huge chapter again.
The very next story was 80k words again.
Please help me.
______________________
And these were all the noteworthy moments of 2025! I think. Did I forget anything?
Either way, I already wrote too much. Why don’t we move on to my resolutions for 2026?
Hopefully, less murder.
Any Goals, Changes, Or Plans for 2026?
Despite my previously cited frustrations with output volume in 2025, I still think it was a good year for me. Nevertheless, I want 2026 to be the BEST year so far, so here are my goals.
- I want to bring my writing output way up
Back over 1,000,000! This is the most important goal to me. If I write more, less things backlog, and more stories gets wrapped up. It all stems from here!
- Experiment with the new Bonus Side Content idea
I’ll work out how these will work and make a post about it in the next few days. It’ll be tied to the Merchant tier in some way or another, but let me figure out the details first.
So many! Like, all of them! I wrapped up ONE in all of 2025, so I have some pride to recover. Maybe I can start by wrapping up Stacy’s Got The Wheel in one mega chapter?
Oh, God, I am doing it again.
- Reopen for sequel commissions
This goes in line with the previous goal. There are some commissioned series that I know commissioners want to continue, and I don’t want to leave the series in question just hanging. Thus, I want to open for this limited target of only sequels while continuing my exclusive-series-slaying arc.
My shadowy immersion in September made me realize that it's probably a good habit to do regular updates even when I have nothing ready to release. I have somewhat experimented with this already in the past few weeks.
Maybe I'll give it a cute name like 'Degeneration Log' and post weekly.
- Do my best work yet in 2026
I want my best stuff to be incoming, not already out. I shall bring my A-game smut this year (as I try to do every year)
A General Thank You
Allow me to start the year thanking you all for your continued support in my degenerate writing endeavors. Being able to do this for a living is a huge privilege, and so I must do my best to earn it. I could never have imagined that I'd be in this fortunate position someday. Thank you very much.
I’ll write tons of comedic wholesomeness this year. Maybe I’ll even sprinkle a drop or two of hardcore smut. But not too much! I wouldn’t want to harm my family-friendly brand.
Final Notes For This Newsletter
This is taking the place of January’s Newsletter, so this is the place for a couple of pointers.
Expect a Character Popularity Poll this month. It’ll come after the release of Stacy’s Got The Wheel – Chapter 5.
Additionally, I intend to make a post in a few days about the Bonus Side Content experiment that will, potentially, replace Prompt Polls for a while. I’ll also clarify how it’ll relate to tier benefits and whatnot. Once that’s out, I’ll update the descriptions around the page to keep things accurate.
Of course, if this is to take the place of January’s Newsletter, I cannot end this post without a few memes. I placed them at the end this time so as to not bloat the rest of the already-bloated newsletter.
A happy 2026 to all! Thank you for your continued support.
