I am Sonokeeper, writer for Grim Fate Comics! My ancient username actually matches that, but my display name is stuck as Fire32. :P Also, Bobbydando == Eldrik Aethervial, Bobbydando is just his HF account name.

Are you interested in supporting the comic and/or seeing next week's comic today? Check out our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/GrimFateComics to see the full-sized, HD pages, participate in the monthly bonus comic idea submission / voting, and more!

Note: Page numbers jump from 51->55 because we added 3 pages between 35 and 36. Our patrons voted to extend the Safi scene in place of a regular Grim Mini back in March.

This looks great. I might consider to join. Will there be more instances of tight vore like this? I really like it!

Posted on 18 July 2016, 00:54 by: Fire32

@brakstar:

There will be more tight vore in this comic, although there will be other stuff as well. Issue #1, Plant Food, is going to run for over 120 pages. :D

I'll be making a gallery on g.e for the monthly mini comics as well once the second one is in. Both patreon-decided mini-comics were heavy oviposition, but there was a unanimous vote in favor of my "not three in a row" rule (some are even pushing for a stricter "not two in a row"), so next month's mini comic will not involve ovi. Someone suggested a tight vore concept, maybe it'll win the August vote (It fared pretty well in the July vote)?.

This is really excellent stuff. Thanks for sharing it here, definitely the kind of quality work I would actually put money into!

Posted on 24 July 2016, 08:30 by: Larkane

I was wondering when you were going to post on here Sonokeeper :3, This is Wingblade on HF btw :D

Posted on 24 July 2016, 10:14 by: foxm

Awesome aquaphile stuff! Please do more!

Posted on 12 February 2017, 20:58 by: Larkane

imercenary you obviously don't pay a lot of attention to QnA comic pages at all then, cause the QnA have a lot of the answers you are looking for. the pace of a long comic is meant to be slow and drawn out. Not all comics are going to be 30-40 pages and done.

Posted on 19 February 2017, 06:45 by: Fire32

@imercenary

This is not a spinoff. The QnA they are referring to starts http://grimfatecomics-qa.tumblr.com/post/146882200753/hello-im-sonokeeper-the-writer-for-grim-fate

---

I would not expect you to have read the QnA. When I say "main comic" I am referring to the comic shown in the gallery above (I realize now I never specified that - sorry for the confusion). Anyway, all the things I noted are in the above gallery. It's true we don't have the full backstory of the characters in the above gallery, or the story as to why they were on that airship in the first place, but I don't think that is vital to follow what is going on in the gallery.

If some of the stuff I mentioned doesn't appear to be in the above gallery, I'd like to know. Perhaps it could be made clearer? I'd need more specific critique to ponder possible changes / tweaking of how information is presented in the future.

@ imercenary

"You're obviously in love with your characters cause you named them,"

Yes, because the only time you would name your characters is when you're 'in love' with them, not because they're characters in a comic.

"Why would I read a Question and Answer for a webcomic? "

To learn more about the comic, the story, the characters, etc.

"You know I am gonna stop thinking for a while."
One of the most honest statements I ever read in this kind of media.

Posted on 28 July 2017, 00:43 by: MGlBlaze

And she's dead.

At least she didn't really suffer exactly but it lives up to its 'grim fate' name.

Posted on 19 August 2017, 16:30 by: Alurker

Wow. This intelligent strain of tentacles would conquer all of hentai if they ever got loose.

Posted on 27 January 2018, 06:37 by: Fire32

Those are vials, as it were - Katarina stole that bag from Juniper (the botanist) back on page 30. :P

Posted on 17 November 2018, 17:00 by: Madmopper13

I wish there was a tag to indicate a series or narrative. Like fantasy series, or sci-fi, or whatenot.

Posted on 03 March 2019, 23:29 by: Fire32

Whose who (and what's happening to them as of page 154):

Safi is the fox gal, yes. She's trapped in a pod, but the liquid is pouring out.

Josie is the black-haired elf woman. She's Juniper's Aunt, and recently damaged the pod Safi is in. She's getting shocked in the most recent main comic page.

Juniper is the blond-haired elf woman WITH glasses, and she's currently headed to somewhere or other as part of a Plan(TM).

Saundra is the freckled lady that's trapped in the other pod.

Rika is the woman that's still alive underwater.

Sylvia is the blond-haired elf that had earth magic, and is currently bound in the coconut.

Neriah is the bird woman that's also bound in the coconut.

Mitra has never been shown on screen, but has been referred to as being a third woman bound in the coconut. What she looks like is unknown.

-----------------------------
UPDATE:

As noted before, next week I'll be removing the bonus vacation stuff.

Hrm... on the sameness, I suppose it's because they various ladies involved ended up being in very similar set-ups. This scene ended up being longer than origionally planned, and I think it might have been better if we tweaked the coconut set up so that the three ladies were trapped a bit differently.

As for What's Going On.. well it's actually pretty similar to my last big comment.. anyway:

> Safi & Saundra are seeded and trapped in pods that are floating through the sky on a path leading them deeper into the jungle. Saundra has freckles and her reddish hair is more of a RL coloration. Saundra was with Sylvia back in the caves before they both got caught.

> Rika is in an underground lake, trapped in a Jellmock seaweed plant, and has hair that's a deeper red than any natural RL color.

> Juniper is trying to get the plants to release Josie back on the surface.

> Sylvia, last coconut survivor, is trying to slow down the process of the plant absorbing her for a quick boost of magic.

> Neriah, Katarina, Mitra, and Amber have been digested by various plants and are dead. Their souls, or at least what's left of them, have gone through some sort of salvaging process and will likely be used as materials for something else.

Anyone know if going back and coloring in the rest of the older pages is in the cards? It's not the end of the world, but the consistency would be a bonus on future readthroughs. Still, really like where the story is going so far. Looking forward to seeing if any of them are getting out of this alive.

Posted on 27 January 2020, 08:49 by: Fire32

We will eventually be going back, yes. Also, glad you're enjoying it!

Posted on 19 April 2020, 01:34 by: bigrod91

At this point I really don't know whats going on anymore.

Posted on 20 April 2020, 21:18 by: Fire32

Dragonaira has it - as long as Safi believes the plant can't kill her in the dream it really can't do it. Everything going on in the dream is either the seeds
A) Trying to come up with a plan, which it's indirectly having Safi do by having her subconscious fill in the memories "Amber" would have (Because the seeds are extremely limited mentally - Safi was correct that the entire dreamworld is borrowing from her own imagination).
B) Using the plan to trick Safi into thinking that the situation's changed, and that they CAN kill her after all.

Safi's soul is basically the nutrition the seeds need to fully develop their own consciousness.

----

As for "the whole point"... I mean we had Juniper escape, and things are looking hopeful for Josie. The original Willow Palm not only lost a fight but was literally killed. The remnant w/Sylvia, even if it succeeds in converting her into a new core, won't restore the original plant's consciousness. It's dead, she'd at best be a more direct successor. Stoneslime Creeper has had a ~33% win rate (although it's still alive).
Edit: Stoneslime also failed to catch Josie. So 1/3.
Edit: Oh yeah, Jellmocks also failed to catch Josie (flashback). So they're only batting 2/3.

i really don't like all this fatal, but i can't stop reading and follow. i care for the people and hope they survive and each time they die.
i don't like it but well done, keep going .

Posted on 24 May 2020, 12:16 by: leddis4

It seems these comics have become even more boring, padded and tedious since Bobbydando had his nervous breakdown.

Posted on 25 May 2020, 17:19 by: leddis4

It actually had potential once. But Bobbydando tends to ruin any project he's involved with due to his mental illness leading to a chronic inability to take criticism.

Posted on 30 May 2020, 04:33 by: afklgnrjkl

Just going to say this, I really enjoy Eldrik's work, and I think the quality has gone up, not down, over time. Keep em coming, and don't listen to the impatient ones.

Posted on 31 May 2020, 10:07 by: leddis4

No Fire32, he cannot. He explodes over even the most basic, objective criticism, spews insults and then gets more enraged when insults are then thrown back at him.
The man is severely disturbed and you are lying to defend him.

Posted on 10 October 2020, 06:12 by: Fire32

And we're back!

Posted on 28 November 2020, 14:26 by: dgerik

Yet another page where we have to wait a week to find out if we have to wait another week to know for sure if she's done for or not. I like that it's being updated constantly, but it just feels so unbelievably slow at this point.

Posted on 15 December 2020, 04:27 by: Xion Rabbit

Same, hard to care about these characters and their struggles if you grow to expect them to die.

Posted on 19 December 2020, 07:41 by: Salminar

Hu so Rika dies too despite being told she would be spared if someone came to save her?
This one is a bit weird and sounded quite gratuitous, she melts in barely 2 seconds while Safi is right next to her and ready to save her.

Posted on 20 December 2020, 03:42 by: lordofmyth

and now all that backstory and talks have been rednered entirely poitnless as that lady literally does jack all to save her even though she's only like ten feet away.

yea this is actual garbage in terms fo storytelling. they wasted our fucking time with all of this when they could hve jsut had her die immediately and not waste time and their energy.

Posted on 23 January 2021, 18:44 by: Cold Irony

the one with fucked up font is some kind of deity that feeds on souls extracted through all this murderfucking. it's the entity that jellmocks and plants worship. honestly, I find this to be the least interesting part of the story, and the way it interjects with the main narrative is really inorganic. our dear writer would have to think up something really special to make exploring this topic worthwhile.

Posted on 06 March 2021, 02:39 by: FarkyMac

@Fire 32 on February 27, 2021. Sounds like a huge fucking sack of excuses for why she's dying for no meaningful reason. She's dying because the script says she's supposed to die.

Posted on 08 August 2021, 13:22 by: leddis4

Good to see this comic still takes 3+ pages to depict something that could be portrayed in 1.

Posted on 17 August 2021, 15:51 by: cd_young

Gotta make that bank, commission/petron bucks won't flow if it's concise and efficient.

Posted on 06 October 2021, 16:37 by: Marius8

Chapter 2 page 11 surprisingly convincing :D

Posted on 04 June 2022, 08:21 by: zandrei

I've read it and I feel like every page expects you to know something between the current page and the previous one. I cannot follow it and I don't have any idea what it's about. My best guess is its some people putting other people in a simulation and then repeatedly killing them for some reason in vaguely erotic forms. Repeat.

Posted on 20 September 2022, 08:55 by: Fire32

Welp, I spent over an hour writing a response that got eaten by EH. $@#! it, cliff notes version:

1) Eldrik has done male characters before, he's not the writer for this one.
2) No Male Victims: I, the writer, have less than zero interest in seeing men get sex'd up. I have more drive to write sexual stuff when I have at least a little interest in it. In what universe is not being attracted to men homophobic?
3) No Male Antagonists: Did one a long time ago, Pharaoh's Reward. Got a complaint from a female reader that liked to self-insert, regarding how they really like the way our series always had sensual/pleasurable doom without it being about some guy's gratification. GFC antagonists generally didn't/don't get any sexual gratification from what they're doing anyway, so why not cater to that niche? This also prompted me to focus a bit more on having all the dooms be intensely pleasurable for the victim, which has sort of become GFC's style so we're sticking with it. "Why not have male antagonists that simply do not jerk off to the lady's doom or whatever?" - eh, probably because A) I really like the "turnabout is fair play!" trope and like to leave the door open for an antagonist to become a future victim and B) Only ever having men as victorious antagonists would send a different sort of message, I think? Both of which brings us back to point (2).

... I guess the bonus art series "The Assessment" had male antagonists, but the goblins running that were female or at least a mixed group in the script it just got missed art-wise and wasn't worth changing IMO.

4) COLOR: We didn't have the funding to do so early on. We occasionally go back to color old pages, last time we did that was between vol 1 and 2. If we focused entirely on coloring it we could pull it off in... 5-7 months? Maybe 8? No one wants us to stop posting new stuff for that long.

I've been following this comic since the very beginning. I used to love it.

Nowadays, it feels like I follow it out of obligations. I no longer have a clue what is happening. Or maybe it is just getting harder to care what is happening.

Am I alone in this?

Posted on 29 October 2022, 22:15 by: Fire32

I am curious regarding how many readers feel lost VS not lost (and caring vs not caring). If you feel lost and/or don't really care about what is happening, [Vote+] sporgasbored. If you feel like you know what's going on / care about what is happening, [Vote+] this comment.

Posted on 04 December 2022, 03:49 by: leddis4

I can only repeat that the main issue is this narrative *used* to be simple to follow. Adventurers in peril getting captured/raped/escaping/falling to their doom. Now it's metaphysical this and that with weird tests and motivations that aren't properly connected in scenes that take far, far too long.
This might not be a problem in a continuous story but in a once a week page format it absolutely is.

I'm not sure it's an issue with the writer either as Fairies vs. Tentacles has a similar problem with meandering to the point that people forget what's going on. Though it's concepts are a little less esoteric.

Posted on 08 January 2023, 19:55 by: witchking99

So, writer here! I do think narratively this story is absolutely suffering from an almost meta-story telling that is happening as I do see Sono(Fire32) post a lot on discord explaining things and divulging their ideas/details about stuff in the story. The problem is, this information isn't really being conveyed quickly, concisely or in some cases at all within the actual text. I will also say complexity is good but there seems to be a little too much as to what is going on within this universe. A lot of rules that don't seem to make much sense, in part because they aren't explained properly. But as a writer I know dedicating too much time to exposition will be terrible in a comic that is absolutely catering towards sexual interest not big brained ideas. So I think narrowing down what is going on into a much simpler form/smaller scale and just focusing more on interpersonal relationships/conflicts as well as individual motivations for the girls as they get eaten left and right would make for a much stronger story and product at this point. I've been following since Amber was first grabbed by the jemlocks and while there was a little bit of "meh" and "?" stuff in vol 1, vol 2 is filled to the brim with it.

As a reader, I don't really find myself caring about the diners, Horchestra, or the world building in general. It just isn't captivating or grabbing at my attention because it doesn't have the time or space to be fleshed out, nor is any attempt to flesh it out really appreciated because we're ultimately here to watch Safi/Rika/Amber etc all meet their grim fates via some vore/hot as hell death. Those are the characters we actually care about. As far as the overhead antagonists the only one I have moderate interest in is Horchestra's helper, and that's strictly out of the dark interest that she will meet her own grim fate in a form of psuedo justice. I think Sono wants a much deeper story with a rich world to play around in but this is ultimately a porn comic. So your story/world building has to be EXTRA strong to retain interest. I'll watch/read porn for the plot if its well done and engaging, but not if its convoluted and confusing. Once it feels confusing/convoluted I am basically just waiting for the next vore scene and skipping the rest.

I know Sono has mentioned in the past the readers will riot if there is too much time between the end of a porn scene and the start of the next one; I think with this issue you've softly acknowledged this isn't the place for a huge world building/grand plot narrative and just a place to have a bunch of girls die in creative sexy ways. You can either stick to your creative guns and do the project for yourself, accepting most of the audience is already lost at this point and just here for the porn material, or start making narrative adjustments to simplify the world/plot so that we can hone in more on the characters themselves. Right now I really don't care at all about the new character's we've introduced besides their capacity to find a horrible but creative way to die. And I'm only here to hold out for Rika/Safi's eventual permanent doom. I'm not here to find out what the hell Horchestra has been prattling on about because she sounds like she is undergoing real time psychosis every time she talks.

Edit: its possible Sono just needs some help ironing out/reworking dialogue and that could make things a lot more cohesive and fluid as far as story telling/world building exposition. I can tell Sono has a VERY cryptic style to writing/exposition which while is sometimes nice, gets old REALLY FAST when its your primary method of communicating ideas to the readers that seem to be vital for understanding the plot as it moves forward. Sometimes a concise simple explanation is just better, even if it feels boring.

Posted on 22 January 2023, 03:05 by: untitledfolder

I'm a lurker and probably in the minority here but now that I've been following the girls for so long I kinda want them to make it in the end. :(

Posted on 20 February 2023, 23:02 by: TetsuyaXC

I lost interest the moment the fox girl died, and even before the you could barely follow what was happening.

Posted on 25 March 2023, 07:04 by: Fire32

We'll also be posting part of the popular "The Wall" series. After that we will be resuming the main comic. I have more to say on that, but I will wait until we're closer to the posting to say more.

Posted on 10 June 2023, 22:53 by: Fire32

If you're arguing our menu-like set-up on page 3 set false expectations, that's reasonable. Perhaps we should tweak that a bit the next time we do a round of updating older pages. That said, by this point you are surely aware that there were survivors in Vol 1.

Posted on 08 July 2023, 08:07 by: Fire32

And we're back with 2 new pages (Spiritarium 81/82)! After further discussion, Eldrik & I decided to keep the patreon farther ahead (it's currently up to pg 86 full color, 87 B&W).

@Alan: We already uploaded the old colored pages - check pages 1-25 in this gallery (up to comic page 22). They're all in color now.
- FvT is separate from GFC.
- There are not currently any plans to color old Grim Minis, at least not while there are still main comic pages in B&W (not very many of those left, granted!)

If you mean when we will post the more recent Grim Minis that's we've already posted to the patreon discord channels (Eldrik's "Safi & Jellmocks", "Fetish Feud" (Sequel to Fetish Fuel), King's "The Tongue"), "The Tongue" is currently planned to be last publicly posted Grim Mini. I'm also considering some other ways of going about handling the minicomics postings.

Posted on 29 August 2023, 05:14 by: Paradoxicalthird

This sounds like project death, bluntly. There's no way, and i mean this, no way on fucking earth you can retain the current amount of patrons you have moving to a text format with vastly less images. The market for novelizations of erotica is small as is, in this kind of content it's non-existent. I like the comic a lot, i was a patron for several years. There is no way to spin this as anything besides a major, probably catastrophic reduction in content. Plant food is the primary driver of patron revenue; you should be cutting literally every single thing except for it. Cutting it should be the last resort. Going from multiple pages a month to apparently one will just be a complete disaster and almost certainly financially unviable.

If the quality and quantity bars were set too high that's something you have to fix, but there's no way casual readers are going to keep supporting the project with a 75% reduction in main comic content and I'd wager nearly zero will be content with text only content.

Posted on 06 May 2024, 10:51 by: Fire32

And we're back! I mean, we never stop posting content to the patreon discord in the first place, but we're back publicly. I also need to post all the minicomics we've had since then. (BTW, new minocomic gallery is here: https://e-hentai.org/g/2910502/67ed60afb5/)

There will be additional updates this month as well, including 3-4 more images at a higher image-to-text ratio (Edit: Reduced amount, decided it'd be a good idea to keep a small buffer going forward).

Still horrible that we lost the comic format. Such a bad move

Posted on 10 September 2024, 07:01 by: Zotan

I woulda preferred the project just died than shift to a written form. Like, why fucking bother?

Posted on 28 November 2024, 15:07 by: Paradoxicalthird

A year later from my last comment and, yeah, i would call this functional project death. I knew this is where this was headed when i made my first comment, though it actually fell apart a lot faster than i thought it would. I can't imagine this is getting even a tenth the engagement it did a few years ago.

Posted on 03 December 2024, 16:25 by: thedesertwolf

For folks coming in to check this out, e-hentai tab/page #18 is the last page that's full comic. e-hentai tab/pages 19 onward are intermixed text blocks & sketches.

Posted on 17 January 2025, 15:38 by: all41

Honestly preferred black and white pages over novella.

Color is nice and all, but these kinks are better with their sequences even without color.

Posted on 23 January 2025, 16:38 by: Ookamisuke

I keep coming back to this comic. It's just way, way, way too hot.

Posted on 18 February 2025, 04:06 by: Fire32

Fixed the gallery - novel page 22 was missing. That's the one where Priscilla finished expanding.

Posted on 01 April 2025, 17:16 by: Ifinx

From someone who has been here since the first chapter of the comic. The comic has been golden, up until the written erotica, after that I pretty much stopped coming back but once every several of months to see if it ever moved back to a purely comic standpoint. Now I'll be honest, I wonder how much money the writter and artist has lost going to the 'story' format.

Posted on 08 April 2025, 01:33 by: HighPriest

lfinx: Pretty easy to tell, actually. They're down about 1/3 in terms of both subscribers and earnings from the period right before the change, losing about $600 per month at the moment and declining regularly.

Of course, they (probably) work way less than half the amount of time they used to on this project, so the move still makes a lot of financial sense if their primary concern is their $/hour wage.

Posted on 21 April 2025, 04:52 by: Fire32

And it's up! As a note - the stage scene's more comic-esque setup is just the result of it being the scene previously voted on as being where the our supporters wanted the most focus in the spider-arc in addition to the doom song aspect just working better if the text is in the images IMO. We will be returning to the illustrated novel setup after the stage scene. In future arcs we might do something like this again, but it will not be the norm. Edit: Stage scene has 4 more images to go.

----

Regarding series funding: I went over that a few comments above. I suppose Ifinx was specifically referring to money lost by the artist/writer, though, so I'll break that down as well:

Writer: My pay of $0 continues to hold steady. All money goes towards the main series / excess goes to the minicomics.
Artist: Reducing his GFC load has allowed Eldrik to actually do public commissions again for the first time in... what... a decade? He's doing fine financially. I get that people really enjoyed the comic version of GFC, but Eldrik is not going back to doing two fulltime longform comics. Among various other reasons, the Eldrik that was doing GFC, FVT, all the minicomics, etc, etc, when we started GFC NINE years ago was a significantly younger Eldrik that was working 70+ hour workweeks. He had numerous health issues as a result, and his shift from no longer doing most of the minicomics was part of reducing his workload to something sane. But it was still an excessive amount of work - we never had enough funding for a proper art team - and the GFC continuing as a comic was just not going to happen. I shifted to an illustrated novel because I didn't like how the screening arc turned out and didn't want to end the series with it. That said, the novel does have its fans - I even had one person pm me that they would have preferred the stage sequence include more text - and I'm thankful for that.

Anyway, returning to full comic format is not an option.

The funding reduction has been effecting the minicomics, however - are you, person reading this, aware that there's a second minicomic gallery (the first one can't be updated further / had passed the max timelimit between updates)? If not, please do check those out!

Posted on 17 May 2025, 08:18 by: Fire32

The May update is up! The next update will be returning to illustrated novel, as noted above comic-esque sequence was just for the stage scene.

June update is up! Rather late, granted, but the July update will likely be back to being ~14th as usual.
