I have some drawings involving gory implied or partial vore. The victims are mostly alive but badly and gruesomely wounded. I.E. guts and bones visible, limbs ripped, not cut, off, blood everywhere, etc and being eaten by some kind of monster. Would this be considered hard vore because of the dismemberment of the victim or soft vore because they will presumably survive until they are in the stomach?

i would say "hard vore" is a safe bet for any image where the focus is on dismemberment via ripping and chewing, regardless of whether the victim is still alive--though if you had an image that focused more on the victim (however maimed) being swallowed mostly whole/alive afterward, then that might be able to be counted as soft vore (may depend on the extent of the damage).

I'd say hard vore full swallow - and sounds fun to me

Generally the distinction between soft vore and hard vore is how many pieces the prey is in when the pred swallows it. You've got a real corner case there though, but I while it's technically soft vore with the blood and gore tags... I would mislabel it hard vore because the general soft vore audience probably doesn't want to see it, and it's "close enough" for the hard vore audience.

Yup, that's hard vore.
Can't wait to see what they're like!

Definitely Hard vore in my book and can't wait to see it

Simple way of putting it is

Hard vore victim is in pain while being eaten

Soft vore victim will not be in pain until in stomach or not at all

There are different definitions of the boundary between hard and soft vore, but I'd tag it as hard in this situation.

It's close, but like the others said, I'd go with hard for this.

Hard vore and lucky victims

This actually sounds like... exactly what I came to this site looking for! Non-fatal hard vore.
