Future: Focus on sagas (Patreon)
Content
Looking around, reading around, I see all the successful authors in this sort of approach really focus on a saga, and I can agree with that. Making people who want to read Medusa or My Little Ventrue have to pay for a story they're not interested in, when I decide to write a chapter of AIL, is mean and bad business.
BUT, the good news is that means sagas (Medusa for now, My Little Ventrue in the future) will get more chapters, faster.
I'm also aware that most readers would prefer a saga to last a while. It's no fun to get invested in a saga, only to have it end. So while Medusa doesn't have the staying power to be a long saga, MLV can be be expanded for on good while.
A lot of my efforts are going into my Gothic vampire horror series though. Working title: Nighthunters. This is the series that I can carry for 10-20 books. A setting I've crafted from the ground up. Spreadsheets. SO MANY SPREADSHEETS. Spreadsheets of lore, areas, a bestiary. Spreadsheets of religions and politics. Spreadsheets of the history, spreadsheets of the hidden things that hide in the dark. Spreadsheets of the main city, where most of the story will take place (kind of like Dolareido :P).
You can check out my Imgur album I've collected of various images that serve as inspiration for Nighthunters, if you want to see what sort of story it'll be. https://imgur.com/a/hRhpp
