Edit: I inadvertantly left this up as a "paid members only" post almost all day! That wasn't my intention, and was simply a mistake. I currently don't have plans to gate posts like that. I see that some people signed up today, maybe with the intention of seeing this post. I apologize to those people especially. As a way to make up for that, if anyone signed up today just to see this post, please reach out to me. I would like to give you a special sneak preview of my next project as an apology.
Good afternoon!
I am thrilled to finally be able to share with you the story that I spent all November working on. Is it conceited to call it a novel? Maybe. But I think the story earns it on length alone. I never said it was a good novel!
It was a commissioned story, and in many ways it's unlike anything I have written before, so I am especially curious about any feedback, good or bad! Would you like it if I wrote more stories like this?
One thing I would like to pick your collective brain about in particular is how to release this story.
Normally for a story this length, I would split it into 4-5 parts. But there is a major issue with that here. The first fourth of the story is a fairly harsh cuckolding story. The latter three fourths is an enemies-to-lovers romance.
So if I release the first fourth as “part 1”, the people who might like the rest of the story could get turned off instantly. Then, the people who enjoyed the first part might expect the rest to be the same, and be disappointed when it's different.
The way I see it, I have three choices.
Release the story as usual, and trust the audience to see for themselves.
Release the story with an author’s note at the beginning, explaining what I said above.
Release the story in one big chunk in the “Novels/Novellas” section on Literotica.
What do you think?
