Future of Side Stories (Patreon)

Hi Patrons!

I wanted to get your opinions before we continue with the RO side stories going forward from July. As you know by now, when there is no update, I usually do a non-canon-related side story written from the RO's perspective. Usually, it's a poll between NSFW and SFW content. However, some people reached out to me on Tumblr to explain they don't read the NSFW stories which wins polls every month.

The main reason I do these type of stories is because I really dislike the idea of writing a non-canon story that isn't based on a romantic scene (either SFW or NSFW) since it feels a lot like writing fan-fiction of my own characters and disregarding the plot entirely. That said, I also don't want to exclude Patrons who aren't comfortable reading the NSFW content.

So before I make any decisions, I wanted to get your opinion. First, I can keep things as is with it being NSFW or SFW stories that you would vote for. Second, I could alternate between one month of NSFW content and one month of SFW content - remember, this only applies where there is no RO story based on the latest chapter. Thirdly, I could just skip the NSFW or SFW polls and use a randomiser generator to pick whether I'll do a story of the RO's past/childhood, NSFW or SFW story.
