In 2021, where every adult story was an algorithmically optimized list of tags (Step-adjacent, Enemies-to-lovers-but-make-it-dark), Woody’s work read like a confession scrawled on a bathroom stall with a dull knife.
It read: “The ASSTR archive will sunset on December 31, 2021. Thank you for three decades of unmediated expression.”
