The Marshmallow Ranch Gazette (Patreon)

Howdy, patrons!

It's a brand new month and as promised the Jackalope Serial Company is ready to ride once more! I cannot thank all of you enough for your patience while I work out the kinks of this endeavor; life has been one kick in the teeth after another, but I'm not about to give up on my dream of providing quality erotic fiction once a week to anyone who wants some!

THE CULT OF MAXIMUS

Our current serial will resume with a fresh installment this Thursday. We'll begin chapter three with part 10, "Spiked" -- now that Jerry is taking a much deserved vacation and Tom has a new partner, things have to start going a little better don't they?

As I'm releasing chapter three this month I'll be working on the revisions for chapter one with an eye towards releasing that sometime in June. Now that I have a much clearer idea of where the story is headed, I think I can make some significant improvements to the first two chapters so you'll want to look them up on SoFurry or Weasyl when they're ready. And hopefully the weekly episodes will improve just as much -- if not more so!

Since you fine folks are here, I have a quick question for all of you. How do you prefer to receive the weekly installments? I've been posting them here in RTF format, but would you rather have them right to your inbox? Would you prefer them in something a bit more advanced, like DOCX or PDF? Let me know in the comments, and I'll do my best to make it happen!

MAY MARSHMALLOWS

For those of you who have been kind enough to donate at the $10+ level, I really do appreciate it more than you know. Now that the new month has rolled around, it's about time I showed that appreciation with bonus content for the month! In addition to glimpses into the writing and prep process (character sketches will be forthcoming), I was thinking that a Skype or Hangout session might be a good idea. Do you agree, or would you rather see a writing stream? Let me know in the comments, and I'll make arrangements to do either one in a couple of weeks.

THE OVERNIGHT WALK

I'm sure that if you folks follow me here, you follow me elsewhere online -- through Twitter, Tumblr, FurAffinity or my blog. In that case, you likely already know that I've signed up to participate in the Overnight, a 16-mile dusk-to-dawn walk through San Francisco to raise awareness for suicide prevention and mental health issues. As someone who copes with depression and anxiety, this cause means an awful lot to me.

If you would like to help me raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, head on over to my participant's page here: http://theovernight.donordrive.com/participant/davcowan. Every little bit helps, and it would mean an awful lot to me.

That's it for this edition of the Gazette. See you on Thursday with part 10!
