How important are the sex scenes in the anthologies. Like would you feel you missed out if not every couple had a sex scene in the patreon version of the story? The newsletter stories will be SFW but the patreon content anything goes. Like, some stories will definitely have sex but do you feel slighted if they don't all have it? Like is intimate moments without sex still worth it to you? I just want to know my parameters.

Trae

Please keep the sex. Sometimes it’s the only sex I get in any given month lol

Kana C. Rey

I’m here more for the how the couples interact then just the sex scenes

Leigh Fairley

I want to clarify my “yes” vote was for intimate moments w/o sex is still very worth it!

M.

Im just happy with whatever you want to give me. Be it laughs, sexy times or other.

Shelby Holder

I’m asexual and don’t need it in my books so I’m cool with some but not everyone needs a scene 😂 As long as the stories our good is all I care about 😂

Mary Moyer

Some of my favorite mini fics don’t have sex or it’s not the focus. But then some of them would not feel fulfilled without it! So I def voted situational. I feel like you don’t need to force it

Lulu

The sex scenes are fun but I love the domestic moments more. At the end of the day though these are your stories and I will read anything you write, so write what makes you happy

Rachel Yousif

While I enjoy all the sex scenes I absolutely adore the domestic scenes and the small moments of intimacy as well! Also totally looking forward to the chaos of the brothers living in suburbia

Lisa Oliver

I enjoy your character interactions outside of sex, lol.

Lulu T.

I honestly LOVE all of the non-sexual moments we get. Some are soft and intimate and others like group chats are hysterical. I think you’ve struck a great balance between story and sex in the anthologies.

Amy

I really don’t care. I just enjoy your writing.

Susanne

I'm asexual so I'm always cool without sex scenes, but I don't mind them. As long as the story is good (which yours are) I don't really care 😅

Sheila Pourteymoor

I put situational because honestly I read where the muse takes you. But I'm here more for the characters and their lives then the sex

Alyssa Ashley

Whatever you feel is right at the time & in the moment for the couple's/stories/plot. I love the sex scenes, but I love the intimate & domestic moments too. I'd rather there be no sex scene than read one that feels like it was maybe squeezed into the story just for the sake of it.

Sophie Williams

Honestly I love it all but one of the things I find doesn't read great by any author is stuff that feels forced especially sex scenes so I'm very much write what feels natural for that fic. I do feel you have a good balance and honestly I probably adore the non sex stuff more as I love just the characters interacting especially non couples. One thing I adore about the mini fics etc is that it continues all those moments you don't get when a book ends I love the fluff!

Kelly M Tuanau

I'm kinda half n half i mean i LOOVVEE them smexy scenes so I vote yes HOWEVER....in recent months I've been just loving the intimacy without the🍆🍑🤭

Noreen Olmsted

I enjoy family dynamics and banter more than couples alone, so definitely like some without sex

Michelle

I love the sex scenes, but I actually love the character interaction more, both between the main couple and between the MCs and the other people in their lives.

Heidi Demetriou

For clarity, does yes mean 'yes I would feel like I missed out' or 'yes, I'm fine with not every story having sex'? Sorry if this has already been answered

Amelia

i'm definitely here for the storylines and actually, since i read so much romance, the sex often gets old (in general, with any author) and i skim them for important dialogue and inner thoughts. for me, the sex has to move the relationship along or indicate some sort of important internal shift for one or both characters. an example of what i really like - atticus learning about abo and mpreg. that whole scene so, so good 😘

Michele

I personally love all of it. I enjoy the sex but I enjoy the relationships, the dialogue with the main side characters. Many times the side characters help us get the full picture of the MC’s.

Maria Rivera

Hmm, you asked several questions in the post so I don’t know which one the poll is responding to. So, I’m perfectly fine without the sex scenes. I definitely still enjoy them but I don’t feel they’re necessary in every story.

Charlie459!!

I very much love your characters interactions outside of the sex but I love the sex scenes too! I think it really depends on the situation but the intimate moments we get outside of the sex are so so necessary and so funny!! More group chat text moments !! Those are always a fav

Jayce

I love the sex scenes, but the intimate moments are my fave and make me feel all gooey and 🥹

Alicia Odom

I love the everyday life scenes and don’t feel that we’re missing out on anything if it has no sex in it. One of my favorite scenes is when Asa and Zane were talking in the mouse hole. Open honest conversation and feelings. I love when Asa tells him he loves him. Words are important

Lux

Your writing is so intimacy during sex, it would be weird not to have it. Look at Atticus and Jericho. I feel like they wouldn't have worked without that first scene in the cabin. Or Aiden and "YOU KNOW WHO". Which i just got the paper back of cause y'know how bananas i was for guessing their book

Erin

Love the sex but the intimate moments end up being my favorite. In fact the adam\atticus story was my most recent fav, even before the Jericho sex scene. And ANYTHING with Tommy & Aiden I will immediately love, sex or not.

Theresa Who

I love intimate moments!!

Danni

Intimate moments (with or without sex) or even “everyday” life kind of moments are great. I know I read books to escape reality a bit, but sometimes I wonder if people just chill at night and watch tv or have a simple hug/kiss without it turning into something more. That said, I will take the “more” as well :)

Lori Murray

I love sex in books but I actually love the kissing, snuggling and bonding with other characters as well.

Matt Holloway

I actually like less sex and more intimacy cause it shows the real relationship. Don’t get me wrong sex is fun but some times I think it’s not needed. Like as an example I would love to have a cour four fic without sex just to show that they can, you know what mean?

Melissa

Here for the emotional intimacy and the little moments of care.... whether those scenes also include physical spicy times? I feel like that's up to you, the muses, and how the characters are feeling.

AM Olson

Uh. I would be totally ok without any explicit sex at all, quite honestly. I'm here for the rest of the story.

LetsGoToya

I love the intimate moments and the sex scenes but I also love the mundane, everyday stuff as well. Nothing is make or break for me. Spending time with my favorite characters and seeing them show how much they care for one another (and also the ways that they get on each others' nerves) are what matter to me. So I guess all of the moments? 😅 So thank you for bringing these characters and their worlds to life. 💚

orion 🩵

I love a lil sexy moment but intimate scenes or just a moment between characters and family is so worth it to me. I love the slice of life sort of moments you share with us about them and makes them feel more…real and like family in a way.

TheKittyMommy3

No I would not feel like anything was missing, even if not every couple got sexy-times on paper.

Cathy Heim

I love the intimate moments more than the sexy times!

Bookworm

Don't feel slighted at all, they're the real slice of life moments!

Destrin.exe

I love the sex scenes where they are natural. But dont push anything if you feel like it doesnt need to be there. ❤️ they can even have just touching moments or half way(whatever you choose that to mean). Whatever fits best with the couple! I'd also really love the mundane moments with them and the kids and just where we learn more stuff on them and how they interact with each other and the rest of the family. I love when they get to be creative with their murders and flirt with eachother and stuff. I would love to see the core four go on a 4way outing/date if thats something they like to do. Or double dates with other members of the family. Or if they just want time to be with eachother and hang out and (ex: watch movies, make a torture checklist, torture bucketlist, things to teach their kids, gossip, eat, travel to new places and environments,etc). Everyone and every couple is so well written and interesting that whatever they do is entertaining and exciting to read about ...sex or not! Ohhh and also I love when it gets into their mental state and how their counterparts deal with that psychopath or not. I love seeing them show their love and devotion to eachother in their own little ways. It adds so much depth to them and the overall story ❤️

Kimberly Landon-Ellis

I love the interactions often times more than the sex. Intimacy doesn't always need sex and love how you show glimpses into the characters every day lives.

Aimi Yokaiko

While situational does apply, I would still want SOME sex, as there are definitely some couples that I will never say no to some smexual sweaty times with, but also I am equally happy with just reading the sweeter intimate moments that DON'T involve sex, especially as an asexual person, reading those types of scenes always reaches me on a more personal level. It's hard not to appreciate even just their day to day lives, and well... not all couples HAVE sex every single day multiple times a day, so it also helps a lot of them feel more realistic when its just.. intimate cuddles or something like thereof.

Melissa Logan

I think whatever you write should have a natural flow. Some situations and scenes will feel incomplete without a sex scene and some will feel gratuitous if you add one. I trust you to know when a sex scene makes sense in a story. That said, I follow an author who only writes a mini fic in her newsletter and there’s never any sex, and given the characters, it doesn’t feel natural. When there is an allusion to sex, it’s fade to black which feels frustrating. For sex to never be explicitly acknowledged after being included in explicit books just reads strange to me. I understand why she does it but it does leave me wanting.

Christina Overholt

I love the day in the life moments. How are they now? What are their challenges 🤔? What do they think of their lives? Im really loving the Atticus/Adam moments lately to see them interact as adults with the skills they've learned from their partners (and kids).

Hanne Dittner

I’m a sucker for intimacy. Whether that’s sexual or just shared moments where both parties feel safe and loved. Intimacy doesn’t have to be sex, though I do love a good Dom/sub moment

Alex

I could take it or leave it, with the sex scenes. I love character interaction between the family.

Kia

I voted situational because depending on what happens is if it even makes sense. You obviously have to put the smut behind Patreon but that’s a perk of us paying to be here

Mary Fike

I really value the story line, and the vigilante aspects of the characters, too; I like that there are lusty love scenes, but they don’t have to be in every page.

Lindsay Katzer

I do love the sex scenes that you write, but that's not why I'm here. I love to see how the characters continue to live their lives post-book.

Gem 💜

I adore the intimacy moments more than anything, and sex I’m not fussed about either way. I would be interested to read a core four fic that didn’t have sex in it - just a look at their polycule relationship outside of it, how they all slot together. I really enjoyed the conversation between Atticus and Adam, and would love to read the individual couple stories that lead to that conversation. So Adam/Noah and Freckles/Coe having these honest conversations because they feel safe with their men. More of the day in the life stories. I do sometimes just skim the sex scenes just to get to the intimacy they always have after. The sweet cuddles and kisses/i adore this man/got home to see my favourite person/honest and real conversations usually happens in the dark/ moments are perfection for me 💜🖤

Danielle Maas

I love the intimite moments more then the actual sex. The private talks, the family bonding, just the interaction between the couples the partners the brothers etc i treasure those moments

Tamara

I’d personally love to see more intimacy. I’m absolutely fine with sex scenes, but for me it’s the intimate moments, the emotional closeness and tender moments, that really make a relationship feel meaningful. So I will not feel slighted if every story doesn’t have a sex scene, as long as there’s still that sense of connection.

Persephones_glowup

Honestly, I love getting to know them. I love learning about their lives, their routines, their conversations. I love that they are whole people. I love finding out the (otherwise) unspoken things that make these couples work, that nourish them, that make them flourish. I love seeing how they pour into each other. The sex is fantastic, of course- but, it has always been the storytelling, the world building and the depth of all of their varied humanity that has set this universe and these books apart. These people are wonderful, beautiful, flawed and deeply, deeply human. Even the ones who don't give themselves that credit nearly often enough. I love knowing them and want to know them as deeply and profoundly as you will allow. I love the little things, the private things- that's what it's all about. And you know what Onley- thank you!! Seriously, thank you for even asking! Thank you for ALWAYS asking. You don't owe us that but, I truly appreciate it! That's why I'll always ride at dawn for you! 'Til the wheels fall off!!

Menkara Williams

I honestly am more into hearing about their lives (and antics). And their relationships with one another. You didn't ask, but I'd also like to know more about their history. What were the Mulvaneys like when Thomas brought each of them home? What was the garage like when the boys started showing up? How did Calliope handle raising Dimitri? And such. Love these characters.

Tee Reader

I'm the option of some sex but not everything about sex. I love the spicy scenes cause 🤤🤤 but I also LOVE reading about them growing up and seeing Thomas handle them, I love reading about their children now and the antics they get up too also, I love the everyday life! So again anything you write will be amazing. I'm craving all the bits we missed, like when the babies were born, how did they handle that, what was their reaction to holding the babies the first time, were they in the room when they were born? The first night feed, when the baby hurt themselves for the first time, or when they called dads for the first time etc sounds mundane to others maybe but I LIVE for these moments. A glimpse into their minds and emotions ♥️

Tee Reader

P.s I also want any and all mini fics to be in a anthology at some point cause there's not a mini fics I wouldn't love to read and reread and reread and add to my permenant collection - ..... even if it was a patreon exclusive anthology book - with everything you think we wouldn't be interested in, in a book but we obviously would cause we are greedy for every word 🤣😅😉😜

Kelly Knight

I don’t mind, if the story doesn’t need it, then I don’t need it. Saying that, I love the intimate and the everyday moments.

rose silencieux

I love the ones with the kids and about them growing up The bonding one with Adam and Atticus was so sweet. I think more intimate moments. Especially how exasperate the kids make them.

Tiffany Mae Malone

Honestly, I love the everyday non-sex scenes as much as, if not more than, the sex scenes. I just love spending time with the extended Mulvaney family and whatever they’re up to. Yes, I talk about them like they’re IRL people. No, I won’t apologize for being weird.

Gilly

I don't need the sex scenes all the time. I love the stories featuring interactions between family members.

Emma Fern

I voted no, but because there are multiple questions, I'm not sure if it is clear. No, I don't feel slighted if there are no sex scenes. That said, I am a total slut hoe bag for Asa and Zane. I love scenes were everyone is interacting. The banter, the sweet moments and the intimate.

Caitlin Ashley

I love the sex scenes but also the ones without it. So I'm happy with all the scenes, anything you got I'll read it 😁

Edward Wajs

I voted no because my favorite stories of yours on Patreon are the brilliant chats and places where you give us the insights into the different characters. Like the 4th of July pre&post chat. Or the wonderful gingerbread story from last Christmas, where the boys were so sweet and Atticus realizes they can make the rest of the cookies together. Or the Adam/Atticus in Suburbia story.

Damon

I love the intense sex scenes but also like the intense storytelling and the danger of the story telling. Not a big of the longing for or the teasing or the quickness of the sex. I feel like it needs to mean something and not just for a quick rendezvous, if that makes sense

Natalie Hanson

I want all the relationship building / evolution / character development. Not saying they need to evolve significantly on Patreon, but I love how conversation, intimacy, and sex all help shape my understanding of who they are individually and together. Sex is just one part of that - at least for me.

Mariah Dias Hernandez

The smut is absolutely fantastic,but so are the other scenes too. Games, dates,family dinners, ECT all of that is just as amazing.so I feel like, it would be what ever your in the mood to write about.

shirley labeth

The characters are so fun and engaging to that while I live the s x I can also read stories without

Maria Minxy

Do I need all the sex? No. Do I really like the sex? Yes. But I also like the schmoop. So I’m fine without everyone having the sex, but please don’t build it all up and then blue ball me. That makes me sad. 😂

Dee Slate

I love the characters, their interactions and stories, even when they're not 'boning'. They're like family at this point 😍

W L Stercy

I think you write incredible sex scenes, but you write your characters so well that even if you never put that in I would still be tickled pink.
