Here we are, in probably the best month of the year.
Let’s get down to business.
First thing, what I managed to get going last month.
All the other big release stuff that happened last month all relates to my Patreon.
In short, I gave it a big overhaul. Mostly it was cosmetic stuff, it looks better now, but I also added a new tier. 10$/month gets you early access to bonus shorts that I normally write and keep secret until releasing them with the collections. I also will probably be writing new bonus content for already finished series. (Like Haven for example.) Ultimately, the bonus shorts for collections will have to come down, but I’ll probably keep the extra bonus shorts up there.
The other big thing is that Patreon has finally reorganized and added a feature called Collections. In short, it’s an easier way to organize posts, and what this means for me is that I will be organizing my early access chapters into Collections. It has also prompted me to experiment with something: posting chapters to a story I’m writing in the background. Typically speaking, I post chapters to my Patreon only when I am very actively working on a title, and the release date isn’t all that far off. This time around, though, I’ve got some content written for a story that I’m a bit more uncertain on. I keep coming back to it, so I decided finally to just release chapters for it to my Patreon, partly to get feedback and partly to help bulk up the 3$/month Tier offerings.
That being said, here are links to the titles I have in progress.
10$ TIER
I also organized all my nude art into collections as well. Basically there’s three eras.
OLD SCHOOL: This contains a bunch of art that, as far as I know, is no longer available anywhere else. It’s all art you can view if you are a 1$/month Patron or over. It’s from 2017-2018 era when I was first getting art drawn for my backlog.
CLASSIC: Also available to all tiers of my Patreon. Same deal, a lot of these aren’t available elsewhere, and that’ll get more true as I continue updating my art. There’s also a few bonuses in there, like the original versions of the Raw covers, some extra characters I had drawn, and one bonus character for an early version of Beneath the Ashes.
MODERN ART: This is all 5$/month Tier stuff. It’s where I will be putting my new covers and holds all the modern era stuff. Again, I’d like to reiterate that this is an early access program. Basically, nude cover art goes up here for one month, then gets released to my website, where you can view it for free.
I’ve had to lean into my Patreon a bit more, especially this year, but I’m still ultimately kind of leery of it. Obviously I’m grateful that there are people who want to go the extra distance, and I want to try and give those people something back for their support, but I’ve never really been a fan of paywalls. Unfortunately for me, this is my whole career and how I make money, so I’ve had to give some ground on that, and I probably will have to give more ground in the future given the way society is going.
I think that’s everything about Patreon.
Let’s wrap this up with a quick discussion of in progress works.
BENEATH THE ASHES: This is I’d say about halfway written now (though not halfway posted). Gonna try to have this wrapped up before November, but after that the ball will be in RGP’s court and I’m not sure how long the process of publication might take.
GOBLIN GIRLS DO IT BETTER: Maybe a quarter written right now. I’m going to try and have this written and out before November as well. I kind of want to get this done and kicked out the door. I’m committing to at least a trilogy. I would like to have Goblin Girls Do It Better II out before 2024 and then wrap up the trilogy in early 2024, but that seems pretty unlikely.
OUR OWN WAY 3: Ideally I will begin writing Our Own Way 3 this month and have it out sometime in late November, early December, given these books are tending to be much longer than usual. Given we’re heading into winter, it kind of feels like all bets might be off. It’s a tough time, traditionally. I’m hoping that the writing of Our Own Way 3 will go as smoothly as the previous one.
SHELTER FROM THE STORM: So yeah, this one I’m just working on in the background. No idea when I’ll wrap it up. A whole month might go by between updates.
BACKLOG: Previously I mentioned that I was going to try and do Hellcats 4 and Wanderlust V and probably a few more. Uh…yeah I gotta say now that it’s not happening. I actually sat down and started working on Hellcats 4, but it pretty quickly became obvious to me that my heart isn’t there, and if my heart isn’t in it, then there’s basically no reason to do it. Sorry to get your hopes up if you were hoping for this. Pretty soon I’ll have all my backlog back up, with updated formatting, etc., and then I will be extremely grateful when it’s all done and up. I’m sure I’ll swing back in the other direction sometime next year, thinking ‘gee I miss my backlog, maybe I should take another look at expanding it…’, but I’m now feeling very ‘focus on the new stuff, stop looking back’.
Also, there’s ONE other thing that I wrote. It’s a short incest erotica fan fiction, set in the Dragon Age universe. It’s called NO ONE ADMITS IT, and it takes place before the first game, featuring one of the theoretical protagonists. If you have no idea what Dragon Age is, that’s fine, you don’t need to for enjoyment of this story. All you really need to know is: It’s a fantasy universe, the protagonist is a twenty-something noble, and he bangs the ever-loving fuck out of his mom when she comes onto him. And, just so there’s no confusion, it’s his bio mom, not his stepmom. I fired up Dragon Age again and just sort of got overwhelmed with the idea and figured I might as well just write it, and so I did. I might do a sequel, with his mom and his aunt.
I hope you enjoy it!
That’s it. Now I’ve got a shitload of writing to do.
