Hello my literate lovelies,

Damn this month's gone by fast!  I don't know about you but February has been a blast for me.  A Simple Life has turned out to be so much fun to write.  The polls are fun, the characters I already adore, and I am loving this peculiar island setting that we've created.  It's been awesome!  And we haven't even gotten to the smutty stuff yet!  lol

Slave Girl 2 is progressing nicely too.  It doesn't seem nearly as popular as the original (unsurprisingly) but I'm still enjoying the journey of Rosa and Quin.  :)  I'm starting to think this will be the middle book in a trilogy but we'll have to see how it goes.

I think March will be mostly just those two serials continuing.  I might try to squeeze a short in there but only if something really inspires me.

Looking forward, my plan right now is to pause Patreon payments in April.  During that month I am going to look into actually doing something with the tier system so that it is actually an attractive proposition to join at a higher level.  Right now y'all get everything for $5 USD/month.  When you look at the amount of shorts, etc that's a hell of a deal by any measure.  I don't know how I might figure out the tiers but something along the lines of the basic tier gets you any active serial and the latest short then higher tiers gets you different back catalog options.  I don't know though, I need to think about it and I generally suck at this stuff.  Any ideas or advice would be welcome.

I'd also like to take some of these exclusive shorts and polish them up to release them for sale as ebooks to try to get another revenue stream going.  This is another reason I want to put older stuff into higher tiers.  There's no reason to buy a book when you can get everything for 5 bucks.  I might not ever make a living at this smut business but I'd never forgive myself if I didn't at least try.

As always, I thank you.  I appreciate you.  And I wish for you all nothing but happiness, good fortune, and a pair of big soft milkies for each of you to do with as you please.  ❤

Take care.

Sounds like a solid plan. Maybe you'd also do like one short a month and higher tiers would get exclusive/larger voting power for it? Or be able to suggest pairing and genre (while temp cycling out the previous month's exact one) Other than that maybe exclusive altered versions of previous chapters/shorts might be fun and not too much extra burden. I definitely think posting your stuff on amazon etc. is a good move. And though I know some may wince at the current tier losing some of its value, you are damn near the most consistent smut writer I've seen and if you feel it's necessary to take away universal access to your shorts at this tier to bump up their exclusivity I won't knock you. You definitely deserve more money and it might help.

One thing I loved about Subscribestar was the weighted voting by tier level. Then I didn't have to make separate polls for separate tiers, it just made the upper tiers votes worth more. Super simple change that Patreon could make. Altered version chapters/shorts is an interesting idea. Thanks nope!

Hmm my only fear after thinking of that suggestion going forward is that it may eventually slowly encourage you to 'decanonize' popular alterations in order to capitalize on how much people like certain things. Like in 2 years the average canon grimbous cock size shrinks dramatically and everyone needs to crack open the wallet to buy the big penis edition(tm) of every story. Something to watch out for if you try it. The types of alterations will be important to shepherd for those sorts of reasons.

I hear that. I definitely need to up my business/marketing game but I also don't want to resort to scumbag tactics to try to squeeze out every penny.

The year is 204X. I finish smoking my state mandated estrogen vape. Thank God cyborg Joe biden pushed for these, they taste way better than the ones that just made you gay. I finish up and strap in to my AI realized VR storytelling McSex-Harness and the adjustable dildo begins to inflate in my ass to the base setting. Ever since the Anti AI writers lobby got their legislation through, all the highest settings are for human written stories only. Ironic given the fact the AAIWL is itself part of the new Surrogate AI Demos that "relieves the taxpayer of their annoying constitutional burdens". Works for me, never much cared for politics anyways. I go for some classic Grimbous this time around. I check his Givetreon account with a bit of nerves in my stomach. I'm always afraid what actual humans might vote for in the monthly polls. Phew, futadom again. Just like nature intended. Those disgusting 'male on female' fetishists need to fuck off to some darkweb corner where they can indulge their sick perversions privately. Just thinking about them makes me almost vomit up my Soma flakes. Luckily the front dildo attachment keeps me nice and plugged, and its inbuilt nanites farm my indigestion's biomass for the greater good. Oh wait it's Thursday, never mind, they are going towards building Jeff Bezos' real live actual human penis spaceship then. Regardless, I load up the newest story. Aww yes! Futa is bigger, my favorite. Let's check the base stats. Ten inches for the man and let's see...TWO whole inches for the futa? So generous! That's why he's the best in the biz. I pay the bargain grandfathered rate of 100 credits per futa inch increase and 200 per male decrease, and once I've gotten them into a range that both activates my hedon implant and fits into my gene modded anus, I slap the full dive button. Good thing I can afford to splurge ever since selling half my liver to Alcoholic Enthusiasts. I love this country so much.
