Hypnovember 2024 Wrap-Up
Posted 11 days agoSadly, Hypnovember 2024 has finished, but there were some amazing works! Here’s a big wrap-up!
Winner Take All by Kuro-Freak
Oh, it looks like you're almost out of thoughts. Just one left… I wonder if you can even remember our wager… Perhaps you already discarded that memory. Featuring Josh.
Good Birds Serve, Good Birds Obey by titansong
Florian is always happy to offer his services to the professor!
Hypnovember Day 11: Trigger by kento267
A good dragon must obey.
Put it On, Pup by tastefulbamboo (thedecisivepanda)
You don't have to put it on, pup. But... We both know you want to… Because when you do, your thoughts turn off. Featuring Veridis.
Mask (Day 5) by RobinHypnotized
You can’t hide a secret identity for long when you’re up against a hypnotic supervillain!
Horn Heads by kuro-freak
HornHeads - the new bone conduction headphones helping herbivores hear harmonious sounds. Get yours today! With MiloMesmer and Bix.
Catching Caine by kuro-freak
"Creatures with magic can prove challenging to properly enthrall... unless, of course, you have the right tools. Isn't that right, Caine?" Featuring Caine Latrans.
Chair (Day 3) by Leem
Brain Bird relaxes as he settles into his favorite chair. Featuring Regdeh.
The Wolf's Dice by VampBird
Florian arrives back to the professor's home with a sweet treat and hunger to socialise with his favorite tutor. Wolf suggests a game of dice.
Annotations by Inconspicuous (g472y)
Professor Wolf likes to keep track of his enslaved superhero subjects. Thankfully, Kitsune's civilian identity is one of a simple bookstore manager.
The Pod by anonusr (me!)
"It's just… I never really saw us as people with a pod in their house? Other supervillains, sure. But I didn't think of us as pod people." Wesley upgrades their home security system.
Static by Akko
Dan's headset breaks while he’s working out, and he simply cannot work out without his headset. The shark's roommate, Blake, gives him a new one.
Blank by Akko
With Dan getting influenced more by Blake's headset, the shark eagerly agrees to the dog's suggestions. A sequel to Static.
HornHeads Hypnopedia by MiloMesmer
Louis has acquired some rare audio devices made exclusively for horned animals, hoping to capitalize on the time he sleeps to learn his lines… A Beastars story.
Schedule Changing by Inconspicuous (g472y)
Between studying and the gym, Garret's days are usually pretty packed, especially when things get added to his schedule. Takes place in Ajjaran's Puppets and Strings Universe.
Sometimes, Kolt doesn't feel like he's in charge of himself…
Daydream Prisoner by ClearRays
A cheeky athlete goes to a hypnotist to keep himself from nutting for a month, all for the express purpose of winning a bet with a fellow teammate.
Casey, Akko, Incon, and Prof Lambert all wrote a story a day this month, you should absolutely check them out! Also check out the hypnovember works by EveningSky, especially their work Fire Keepers which is fantastic.
Aki, Kuro-Freak, and Silver Dragon managed to draw a piece for each day - give them a look!
I’ll update this post as more commissions complete, but thank you everyone for a lovely hypnovember - please comment with your favorite stories and works!

2024 Entrancing Awards Recs!
Posted 6 months agoThe 2024 Entrancing Awards winners have been announced, and everyone did an amazing job. I absolutely loved Headhunting and The Empty Room, and I'm so pleased they were recognized.
I have a few other works I'd like to also call out, from me personally, that I thought were excellent but weren't otherwise recognized. I've skewed this towards works that I thought could use a bit more attention/that I think people may have missed.
Portent by SugahBaby did an amazing job. The scene, of a prince and a mage, was beautifully set, and the hypnosis was incredibly well executed. Excellent fantasy work, I just wish it was longer.
Do you like old James Bond films? Action? Adventure? Camp? If so, A Sheep in Oracle's Clothing by Limewah is excellent. It manages to nail that Bond-like style while being a fun hypno-romp.
For anyone that follows me, you know I enjoy mixing Starfox with hypno, so it tracks that Shifting Stars is on this list. While I didn't care for the smoking, it's an interesting concept, thoughtfully executed, and absolutely worth a read.
Toy Acquisition by H_Falt somehow manages to be post-apocalyptic sci-fi scavenger hypno, but with charm and humor. It's somehow both hot and adorable? The characters here are really well done, and if you like sci-fi it's an excellent read.
The Orb is delightfully weird in the best way. It's unlike anything else in the contest, and it's a solid, easy recommendation.
While The Annual Hypno Showdown may have a slow start, this work by debut author RoLeolin ended strong! The concept of two expert hypnotists trying to zonk each other more over the course of a month was quite clever, as were the various traps and setups RoLeolin wrote.
I have a soft spot for fantasy, and I love unaware hypno, so it's only natural that I ended up enjoying ClearRay's 'Hero in Training.' An unaware hero serving his king? Yes please.
A Matter of Indulgence by orccultist is a strange work. About a cleric that starts to have strange and tempting visions, it does things I would definitely not have expected, but orccultist is a skilled author and despite everything, it works. If you like fantasy, give it a go!
Other works I enjoyed:
- You Wear the Hat by Dolphinsanity
- Fear of Missing Out by theonehowl
- The Last Tom by Danath
- Good Samaritan by Sheeplike
- Deep in the Game by Kizu
- Change of Administration by Incon
- Green Dominion by Ziew
- Guiding the Hero by DaybreakHero
- Best Laid Schemes by whytheotter
- Full Service Delivery by Ko Bunny
- A Chance Encounter by Blaise/Finn (caution, darker ending)
- Hypno-Gaze Dates by Daddy Hyperion
- Splitting Time by Reggie R
And remember you can still read all 56 entries here!

Hypnovember 2023 Wrap-up
Posted a year agoIt’s been an amazing Hypnovember - there have been so many new stories, so many new pieces of art. So, I thought I’d make a little wrap up, covering all of the new Professor Wolf stories, the new non-Prof Wolf commissions, and some of my favorites this year.
Office Hours by EveningSky
At long last, Sam and his totally platonic hero-partner Isaac have stopped the dreaded museum thief in his tracks! Now all that's left to do is take the recovered amulet to Prof. Wolf for analysis…
Mental Picture by Inconspicuous (g472y)
After a day of crimefighting, shark hero Riptide heads back home to relax, only to find compromising pictures of himself on his phone. Pictures that he doesn't remember taking.
Riptide by tastefulbamboo (thedecisivepanda)
Shark hero Riptide loves his chats with Professor Wolf. He always feels so much better afterward, even if he can't remember the details. Art for the story 'Mental Picture'.
Day 12 - Trigger by sheeplike
Superfast husky "Zoomie" collides with Professor Wolf after finishing some community outreach. Perhaps Wolf can convince the speedster to stay for a chat.
A Little Distraction by anonusr
Professor Wolf is bored in his office, trying to pass time until an evening lecture. And then a security guard catches his eye…
Chime & Tone by Leem
Bastien investigates a clue to a heist at the local museum.
Day 28 - Defeat by Sheeplike
Professor Wolf helps the new telekinetic hero, Brain Bird, calm his busy mind. Featuring Regdeh.
Day 30 - Training by sheeplike
A certain husky superhero learns how to slow down and focus.
Day 20 - Mark of Ownership by Hyenaface
There's something so incredibly satisfying about seeing a fallen hero in your colors...
Such a Good Fox by anothermeekone
Fox McCloud is so accommodating... if you know the right words.
While this wasn’t technically a hypnovember commission, it was finished just before this month started, and I do love a zonked Fox…
Day 2 - Staircase by blukodi
Regdeh is such a good bird, each step taking him deeper into mindless obedience.
The Husky and the Merchant by lactose
A charming merchant has a special way of making a sale to an adventuring husky.
Day 2 - Captured by Pogoco
A local incineroar outlaw finally meets his match when put against a certain psychic-type bounty hunter.
Hypnovember Day 28 - Dreams by Profe Lambert
Fox might forget things, but they're still in his subconsciousness. And sometimes, the best way to reach those buried memories, is taking a nice nap. A Starfox hypno fic to go with Such a Good Fox.
EveningSky's Hypnovember Series by EveningSky
It’s Liam’s first hypno convention. I wonder how it will go?
This collection of (currently) 16 chapters follows Liam (and his hypnotist friend Fenix) as they spend a few days at a hypnosis convention. It’s exceptional, and one of my absolute favorite series to come out of hypnovember. You should absolutely give this one a look.
A Life by Any Other Name by ClearRays
Lucky's rigid daily routine comes grinding to a halt when familiar words incite a familiar, yet foreign feeling of obedience long forgotten by the golden retriever.
What this story does well is it straddles the line between darker hypno content and lighter hypno content. You never feel bad for the subject, and you end up rooting for both him and the hypnotist to get what they want. It did things I didn’t expect, and that worked in its favor. Definitely worth a read (as are some of their other stories).
You should also check out the new stories by Sheeplike, Leem (lmann), Mattswolf, Profe_Lambert, Incon (g472y), pogoco25, TiranMaster, and Xyln, all of whom wrote new stories for Hypnovember.
And there’s new hypnovember art by Aki (tastefulbamboo), Hyenaface, Lactose, Silver, iratami, AlexAutumn, and Reenub.
What were your favorite pieces? Feel free to comment!
Thanks again everyone for an amazing month. And as a reminder, you can find all the Prof Wolf stories here, and you can find everything I’ve ever commissioned on this master list here.

Posted 2 years agoRestoring an old Swat Kats Fanfic Site
Posted 2 years agoI did some work to restore an old 2000s era Swat Kats fanfic site called 'MKC Blacknet'.
If you're interested in the tool I wrote (which fetches materials from Archive.org and rebuilds the site to work on modern browsers), as well as a bit of the story of the restoration, that is posted here: https://github.com/an0nusr/restoremkc
If you're simply interested in browsing the restored site, SwatKats.info is kindly hosting it here!
Hope people enjoy!

I Built A Thing To Help With FA Markup!
Posted 3 years agoHi everyone,
Since my friend was struggling to convert their work from Word/Google Docs to FurAffinity markup, I wrote a little web app!
It's FurryFont - just paste in your description/fic/etc and it will convert all the markup (bold/italic/etc) into proper FurAffinity tags!
Please feel free to comment or ping me if you encounter any issues.
