Vibe check poll (Patreon)

With Alfie finally in rearview mirror, a new era of my career and this patreon is upon us!

Before I discovered how much I love writing, and before my hand injury, my plans for after Alfie were simple: quit drawing porn and focus on some sort of long form SFW webcomic. But, rejoice! I can't physically draw long comics anymore, and writing is so time efficient (compared to comics) that I can easily just write a webnovel on the side to satisfy my serious storytelling desires.

More on the webnovel later this year. For now let's focus on the porn! This patreon had always been a balance between Alfie and whatever other wacky project I had going. Now that the rat is dead, the wacky projects is all that remains and I want your help deciding on what to focus next. I have some of my own ides, of course, but input is always welcome.

The big question is: are you, the audience, more interested in projects involving audience participation or me just doing my own thing?

The upside of audience participation is, well, you're the audience and you get to participate. Pretty simple. For me it's interesting to try to work within limitations set by votes or random chance. Restrictions breed creativity. The downside is the audience driven stories tend to be shallower and less focused as well as less varied.

Doing my own stories appeal to me for obvious reasons. They tend to be more focused and purposeful. But, also sometimes they get weird. I might get a bug up my ass about a niche fetish or story and just keep going at it for weeks/months. I love it, but I appreciate that not everybody would.

Even if you prefer me doing my own thing, I would also like to get your opinions on the specific forms of audience participation we've done so far:

Patron idea submissions. 8$ patrons can post their idea for an illustration (within certain guidelines) and others vote for which one gets made.

Vote driven illustration series: A series of illustrations, with a vote inbetween each one deciding on the continuation.

Vote driven stories: Same as above, but focusing more on the accompanying short story chapter.

Waifu Royale/Grimlewd: I draw SFW pinups of various sexy characters and you vote on which one gets a NSFW follow up, as well as the nature of it.

Also, I'd like to know how many of you care about my recent writing efforts. To be precise, any short or long stories I posted on this patreon or on ao3. I am not stopping either way, but I would like to know.

This poll is not going to be binding in any way. I just want to feel the general ways the audience bends nowadays. If you feel like I should just do whatever I want, I appreciate it, but just let me know what you like. Multi-choice is enabled so please just select whichever options you like.

As a side note, there still a couple of projects I need to wrap up as well as some vote winners I never got around to finishing. I'll get to those in the next couple of months.
