Hey everyone!

I thought I'd take a quick poll (new Patreon functionality!) to see when you would prefer me to post a new chapter to Patreon.

At the moment I've been posting it here after number 3) then updating that version once I've finished editing. It varies a bit depending on when my various editors get back to me, but the chapters normally follow these stages.

I'm more inclined to have you make the call - but the sooner the better. Too bad Patreon doesn't let us flag gramatical/spelling errors, summarize them, and let you crowd source your editing.

FngTash

How about right now... 😉

Larry Bradshaw

been too long between fixes this time...starting to suffer withdrawal ! : )

I am lucky I have dyslexia, this means I don't see the mistakes. Les

After new content fixes

Well I see 3 is the winner.

Btw its pretty strange you can vote all 4 at the same time.

David Swedlow

Happy to serve as a USA editor if you need another. Rapid turnaround.

Tefler

It seems barring a last minute deluge of votes for one of the other categories, option 3 seems the most popular. I'll keep going as I am then, publishing it here when it's nearly all done, barring a few grammar and punctuation changes. Once I've completely finished editing, I'll replace the attached word doc and put (final) after the title or something like that.

JBVandal

If step 4 is just punctuation, spelling, and so on - no added content - then I vote for option #3. If you do add anything though, even just a paragraph or two, I would say #4. However, there's nothing stopping patient folks like me from simply waiting until you make the final changes, so I still wouldn't be opposed to option 3.

Byroz

I'm conflicted, on the one hand I want the new chapter asap, on the other I know that waiting for the most complete version would be best... hmm, think I'll have to add my vote to option 3 as well.

Servo1969

Yes, I think 3 is best. I don't want to miss any content by accident. I read it here and then when it appears on the site I make sure to go and give it the 5 stars it deserves.

Donovan

I read it here, then read it on sto.

Paladin

I like to think 3 is the way to go for here. I enjoy reading it early, then Tefler can use any comments from the more serious fans here that he may want to add/fix for the 4.0 version. I always add the Literotica version to the library.

Zxcvon

Definitely #3, but I like the idea a dated final version on patreon. Also, if you're real fans cough up more than a dollar a post! Come on suport Tefler like you mean it!

da42

Vote 3 because frequency doesn't increase. Just like getting it sooner on patreon vs. the other site. It's still average 10 days between chapters. And it's nice having them mostly polished.

thomas

I know I'm going to be reading it twice anyway so 2 for me

Pan

I like reading your story once maybe twice. Realistically after reading it once I'm anxious to see what comes next. I don't mind some mistake but a I would like to have the story close to final

Hammerfest

Yup, gonna go with Option 3, I still LIKE Option 1 however, mainly due to the time it takes to write them (and this is not a bad thing at all), its a crack addiction, I would read it when it came out without edits or improvements, then read it again once you final post it :D

GrandPaM

I voted 2 and 3 - so call me a 2.5. ...and I'm doing some editing for Latenight Pondering also, so if you want to expand your editing pool... ping me either here or via literotica.

Morningfrost

My desire for instant gratification says option #1, but I'm still going to have to say option #3. As much as I want to read the story the instant it's finished (it's seriously like crack lol), I like seeing the close-to-finished product. ~Morningfrost

Brad D

The time between chapters is the same regardless of the number, except the very first time.  #1 or 2, is a chance to offer suggestions or alternatives to what he just wrote.  In the end, Teffler decides if that desired or not.  Honestly I think some people might have hurt feelings if they really love an idea and it is not incorporated.  #3 is the safest.

Jedi Khan

As interesting as it might be to see how bad your English truly is before your editors fix it, Tef, I say maintain the status quo. It's what we're used to and expect. That being said, if you could find a way to post it just a little bit sooner, that'd be okay too. ;-)

GrandPaM

you getting the withdrawal shakes pretty bad by now too, eh Jedl? :-)

Larry Bradshaw

I resemble those withdrawal remarks, I'm a wreck. Need my fix!

Evan

Interesting system. I voted 1, 2 and 3. I don't mind multiple postings and the system isn't preventing multiple votes since it's using checkboxes, not radio buttons. As far as I'm concerned, if the chapters are marked in some fashion, it then becomes up to the individual as to which ones they read, and it gives those of us who want it an insight into the various stages of the story. I've also been checking, but I'm limiting myself to six checks per day... :-)

Sam J

Your not the only one who keeps checking there phone for updates.

Tefler

Just running through edits right now. Maybe an hour or so, and I'll post the chapter... :-)

Roy Lewis

Personally I like the way he has done so far he puts out the occasional teaser or the slightly less polished work and does a damn fine job of it. He then reads all of our ideas or theories. If it gives him ideas GREAT, we started to read HIS story and we loved it enough to help support his 3SM world. But I believe that Tefler has a pretty clear line of where he wants the his story to go.

Tefler

From my plot-arc notes, the following are now struck through! Maliri -> Rachel side mission -> Trankarans (Thruster upgrades) -> back to Maliri (Laser upgrades) -> Terran Federation (AI uprising) -> Terran Federation (assassin) -> Terran Federation (deal with traitor) -> ?

Evan

Just curious, if you don't mind my asking, at this time, how many more outstanding plot arc notes are there in your current forecast? I do recognize that this may change at any time. I'm also just asking for a number, not any details about content.

Steve

I've been wondering how much time has elapsed in the story so far, six months or so?

GrandPaM

hey tefler - I asked about that picture at the top of your pages here in the previous post...?

Jason

I'm useless now that I know it will be up soon...

Wookey

my addiction is getting worse, I want ch 73 now.....

Divway

So addicted to this amazing story. Up there and beyond 'Wheel of Time', 'Lord of the Rings' to name but a few. They are good stories, but the times they were written made them too politically correct. Three Square Meals is a master piece of creative, momentous substantial genius writing.

Divway

Loved chapter 157. I knew she would be back. I have so missed Faye. Well done Telfar. She was always likely to come back being an artificial life form of sorts. What a way to finish this chapter. Brilliant ending.
