I started with Mike and Steph cause I wanted a couple I could draw to practice sex poses.

Then I started thinking about how they would act, what their hobbies and relationships are, then I drew those characters too and started thinking about the same thing. Then I had people ask questions and I drew what I thought were good answers and over time I hammered that out to be what I have now.

The world is mostly normal besides some kinks I have that I made businesses for in world lmao, and for more normal world development I just read and watched stuff and yoinked what I thought would be cool. Over time I gave all that it's own detail as well, though most of it is niche details that the characters don't interact with.

So now it's just this comforting dollhouse I like shifting around little bits at a time. I even have a whole google doc for it that I wrote up.

As for the brand, I used to have more emphasis on the character's favorite fruits, so I called it Fruit Basket and it stuck. I considered the name "Cornucopia" a couple times, especially once I learned about the anime Fruit*s* Basket, but not enough people seemed confused between the two for me to do anything about it.

I'm not a writer ultimately but I like to believe I made, at the very least, an amusing sunday strip people can come look at and be like "cute." I think that's a decent achievement in of itself.
