Hey everyone,

I'm sorry for the odd, weird, and delayed updates.I've been trying to do this audio update thing, and it's taking a bit of more effort than I expected to get things moving quickly in the same direction.I'm hoping to have the weird delays fixed up relatively soon, but I wanted to ask you all a question.Is it worth waiting for audio chapters going forward, or do you prefer to have the text uploaded, then the audio replacing it when it's available?Waiting is easier on me, and creates less weird "update mess" down the road, but the latter keeps the chapters moving.I can see the pros and cons of both.I'd appreciate your opinions. :)

I don’t listen to audiobooks or audios in general, so I’m for text first and audio later.

Steven

Audio later is fine with me

Patrick Powers

Same here, I don’t usually listen to audio, I read it.

John Mohlman

Audio later is probably best. Seeing that the audio eats the text in some cases

Matthew Comer

Take your time. I'd honestly like you to go down a bit on the number of book releases a year so that you don't burn yourself out.

Matthew Paulin

I actually don't care about audio at all. I want to read, not listen.

Bun

My personal opinion is I like to have the audio and the text in the same post, because the audio does chop it a little bit, and I like to be able to read along with it. That’s not really necessary when it comes to audiobooks, but it’s definitely more useful for the AI generated audio.

Waiting for audio later 'sounds' fine.

Daniel

I prefer reading text as a priority but most of all you should do what works best for you as a writer. Keep doing what you do best.

Bruce Sentar also releases fairly frequently. Bruce and William are the only 2 people I support on Patreon, both amazing authors.

I am in the same boat. I prefer reading the book rather than listen to an audiobook. I like how you are being so thoughtful though to your readers. Thank you for all that you provide us with here on Patreon!!!

Ya I'd say do the audio later if that works out better for you

Kyle Stitt

What ever is best for you!

Tbh waiting is fine, but I'm not using or planning on using the audio, so in my case it's unnecessary effort

Durzo Dresden

whats easiest for you is fine by me.

Seth

I like to read the text as the chapters come out and the audio later. Not sure if I can get used to the different voice actors for different characters but overall just wait on the audio chapters man since that's easier for you.

Mark Tillman

I don't listen to the audios usually, so it's fine to wait for me. Thanks.

If you make a Media Type filter for Text (if possible, it's only showing Audio, Video, and Image) then people can filter out the Audio posts so it's less confusing to those of us who like to read and are not interested in the audio. That way you can do the updates however you prefer and we just pick the correct filter (Audio or Text) when we load the home page.

Honestly, I say do whatever works best for you. I'm not really familiar with how the audio you post works, nor do I read the chapters. I like to wait until the whole thing is done so I can binge my way through it. But I back other authors on this platform and none of them do this audio thing. So as far as I'm concerned, this is a bonus you're bringing your supporters that no one else offers and at no extra charge. So, yeah. Do what's best for you. Less time spent dicking around with updates means more time to write and less time waiting to see how the stories we're hooked on play out, yeah? I feel like we can all get behind that.

I like it but if it slows you down maybe just skip chapters from time to time

I prefer text first, then audio all at once afterwards
