Poll on story posting, please answer!
Added 2022-07-28 05:56:53 +0000 UTCSo I've been working on a longer age regression story, which will be over 10,000 words. (Maybe even over 15k). The reason this story is longer because I am putting more detail into it than usual, with time passing slower and more elements happening in the plot than simply regression. It's meant to paint a clearer picture of what happens as the story goes along.
As my usual posts are around 5-6k words, it's going to take me longer to write and review this before I submit it.
I was thinking about submitting it in 5-6k portions, but I'm not sure if you guys would be content with pledging for just one section of a story (the part being a normal length for my stories), or if you'd rather have the full story all at once (which will take more time).
If you want it all at once: July will likely be a month without stories. That means you will not get charged your pledge next month (August). My Patreon only charges IF I select to charge patrons, and the charge occurs NEXT month, not the month where I marked it as a paid post. The story will be uploaded in August in full, and you will be charged in September for it.
If you are ok with it in sections: Part 1 of the story will be uploaded in July, and it will be a paid post, meaning you will be charged in August for it. Part 2 and onwards will be uploaded in August, meaning you'll be charged in September for them. (Just charged once in Septermber, if I need to make more than 2 parts, there will only be one charge for September). Reminder: My patreon charges NEXT month when I make a paid post, which is why payments are delayed a month from uploads.
Questions I'll probably be asked/you may be wondering:
Why didn't you start the story earlier?- July was not a good month for me. I was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and suffering from imposter syndrome. (When you feel like you don't deserve good things/success/recognition), you feel like you're inadequate. When I started to recover mentally, I grew badly sick for over a week, and only just got well enough to not need to be in bed all day.
Which option would be easier for you?- I honestly would prefer to break the story into parts, but understand my patrons may want their pledge to go towards a full story ONLY, and not parts. Artists may be able to do pages for comics per month, but I'm not sure if you guys consider story parts the same thing.
Wait, sick? Covid?- No, thankfully not covid. But it was not a fun time, either.
Note: Poll closed on Jul 30 at midnight US Central time. I will upload in parts, as the poll requested.
