hey sweethearts! yesterday i posted 2 versions of the same audio, one for people who prefer to be called "boy", and one for people who prefer to be called "girl".

the last time i did alt versions of an audio for gender or anatomy differences, i made a single post and added an alt version as an attachment. the advantage of this is that it kept things all in once place. the disadvantage was that it probably makes the alt version less visible to those that need it, and also harder to play - only the "main" version appears in Patreon's audio player, for the alt version the attachment has to be downloaded and played locally in some way. definitely less convenient for those that want to hear the alt version, and making things inaccessible doesn't feel good to me.

this time, i made two separate posts, one for each version of the audio. the advantage of this is that it makes each version equally visible and taggable, and both can be played using Patreon's audio player. the downside is that everyone will have got 2 emails/notifications about this audio, which might've been annoying (sorry if this did annoy you!)

i think, overall, i prefer making 2 posts, one for each variant. but this could become unfeasible if i need to make more than 2 versions of an audio in the future (to account for different configurations of gender identities and anatomies).

but i'm curious to know - what do you prefer? (i can't guarantee i'll abide by the results of this poll, as the more i think about it the more i think that the poor accessibility of adding the alt version as an attachment is no good for me - but please do share yours thoughts!)

I didnt find the double notification annoying, if anything I found d it nice that you have considered everyone with these ASMR posts and I just hope that keeping them separate isn't overworking you.

Two posts & double notifs is totally good with me, feels more like an extra treat than an annoyance honestly. But while it's lovely to get that treat & that consideration, please don't tie yourself in knots or burn out trying to do too much - sometimes folks forget creators are people first, inc the creators themselves.

I greatly prefer the double-post...not only does it seem more fair as far as prioritisation, I just like listening to both with the patreon player v/s wandering off elsewhere to hear the second one. We wouldn't be subscribing if your posting annoyed us, lol...I'd wager that we as the the Phas audience generally favour the inclusion rather than find it to be an imposition. 🖤 Your thoughtfulness & sincerity regarding these topics is appreciated! Have a lovely evening. 🌙

Honestly my little enby gremlin brain is happy with two posts because it just sees two treats instead of one. I'll take the dopamine two notifications from you gives me, doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I appreciate the separate posts, I just find it a lot easier. I don't find the notifications an imposition, but even if they were I'd happily deal with them if it means more inclusivity. Appreciate your thoughtfulness and attention to detail 💜

I really like the separated posts for accessibility reasons; BUT! If there are too many variables, this may became a bit messy real quick (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠). Especially for new patreon members. If It only has 2/3 alt. versions It' fine, but more than that may be a lot. I think if you prefer organizing/ searching by Tags, the separeted posts will be ok; but If looking for a specific audios is preferential, then putting them in a single post is definitely better. You can have the gender neutro audio as the main. Whatever works better in your mind 〜⁠(⁠꒪⁠꒳⁠꒪⁠)⁠〜

As long as the posts are labeled/tagged/etc. I don't think it's confusing. I definitely liked that you linked to the other variant in the description yesterday. Also, it makes me happy that you continue to pay attention to all of this.

Double posts is good! The app isn’t very friendly to accessing audio extras attached to a post and it’s also just nice they’re treated equally. Honestly I like listening to both versions sometimes out of curiosity.
