First draft promo: The RA Vol 7, Ch 1-5

[Nothing new here if you're pledging $20+! I only left you tagged in the post because otherwise it locks you out and people are like wtf. Sorry!]

Hey, folks! To give you a head's up, there's going to be a shake-up in the tier benefits. I'm still processing the particulars, but two of the major pieces:

• Replacing the commission drawings with a community feedback driven monthly story. No more months with nobody getting back to me on ideas, no more 3 people getting back to me at the same time. Hopefully it'll get us more fun stuff like Wesley Plunkett's Pep Rally, Turner Way, or Perfect GPA, the kind of stuff I love doing but always put backseat to bigger works.

• Reducing the pledge level for first drafts of stories. Previously, patrons pledging $20+ were given access to first draft chapters released ahead of the final edit. It's created situations where I'm producing words like a fiend all month, but only a sliver of you get to see them. I want to make that more accessible to folks, so you get more stuff more often.

I won't be altering anything until the March 1 billing date, so this and next month you'll have access to the same stuff as always. You'll get full info before anything goes into effect in April.

So that second bullet is what this post is really about. I've begun editing on The RA Volume 7, the first draft of which was completed a couple days ago. Compiled here and attached below for your perusing pleasure are the first drafts of The RA Volume 7, Chapters 1-5, just over half the book. I wanted to give y'all a taste of what that benefit looks like. It's unedited, unpolished, but the basic story and structure will be the same in the final draft. If you like getting these sneak peeks, then good news: they're gonna be cheaper for you by the time there's work happening on RA 8. And even if that revised figure winds up exceeding your smut budget, at least take this as my way of thanking you all for your on-going support.

I should have The final RA 7 edited and released pretty soon, and it'll release to the $5 patrons just like the past 6 books. (And Patreon now has an option to buy access to content directly from here, so you wonderful $1 folks can acquire the pdf or epub without going through Amazon.) Until then, here's a taste.

More to come.
