Update
Added 2023-11-01 15:22:25 +0000 UTCSorry for spamming you all with updates over the last few days, but I'm just trying to stay on top of what you guys want :)
Lately I've been posting a lot of two part stories with both parts posted as quickly as possible on Patreon. I wasn't sure if this was something you enjoyed or if you'd prefer a different approach so I'd love to hear from you on whether you'd prefer a stronger focus on the ongoing series', a continued focus on short stories with the series' being confined to 2/3 days a week, or a mix of both.
Writing series requires more time, more editing and more focus, so as much as I'd love to blast out multiple parts each day, it would be physically impossible for me to do.
Is the schedule working for people, or is an entire week too long to wait for a new part? Would you prefer the focus to be on one series at a time, or continue as is?
There are a few of stories that are partly concluded, and when this nightmare of a week is over, I promise you all that they'll be done. I've also gone through some older stories that were incomplete and will continue and/or finish some of them, but I don't want to give any names yet, so just bear with me.
I know a lot of you would prefer less random stories and more finished ones, so my focus will be on that going forward (I sound like I'm in a business meeting 'going forward')
Lastly, I'm in the process of creating a new €10 tier but hear me out. The €5 tier and the €10 tier are going to be pretty much identical. All of my stories will be available to both tiers, so there is absolutely no need and no pressure to switch up.
The reason I'm creating the more expensive tier is for those of you who have asked about tipping before, and those of you who have offered to pay more per month. What I will be offering for those who are interested, is one custom story (commission) per month of up to 3k words which I currently have priced at €250.00.
I'm aware that this is potentially leaving myself open for that to be taken advantage of, but you guys are the most genuine and supportive bunch of people I've come across on the internet, so it's a risk I'm willing to take :)
Thanks for reading, and as always, feel free to give me your feedback below or message me privately.

I like the longer stories, getting to know the characters and their thought processes and motivations That said, I really enjoy the two-parters (even though some of them deserve a part 3) I think the most important thing is that you write in a way which keeps you motivated. If that’s spending more time on longer ones, slipping in a few double shots, or a different schedule every month. You do you boo, it’s working 🙂

2023-11-02 01:42:42 +0000 UTCI’ve said it before, I’m more than happy to pay more as your writing is great in all aspects whether that’s quality, frequency or volume. I like the sound of commissioned work as a reward but definitely think every month is a lot and agree with others that maybe get people to be subscribed for a while first. Then start offering them 3-6 monthly depending on how many you will have to do. I’d certainly be happy with every 6 months as €60 for a story plus access to all your other stuff is a bargain!!! As for your current stuff, I like a mix of longer series and the short ones (but I always want the short ones to be extended as I need to know more) I’d like some older ones finished or continued, definitely need more family vacation and I have to have more lifechanger please, please, please!!!
