ANNOUNCEMENT AND TEASER

Hello Sweet Things. I have a few announcements.

First up, I decided that if I was going to raise my subscription, I should probably try and be a little more together on this. So I'm rearranging the site a bit here and there, hopefully to make things easier on people. So here goes.

First "Kayley and Sam" has been changed to "Slipping into Depravity." There are a couple of reasons. First, Kayley and Sam are real people, lots of Sams, lots of Kayleys, and at least some of them are married to each other. I went googling and found K&S married couples. I don't want to cause real people even accidental embarrassment. It's one thing to use the names in stories, but what if family members or friends google "Kayley and Sam" and this comes up... No way! To the real K & S couples out there, hello, and I hope you're totally in love and live happily ever after, and that you never meet a Leroy.

Also, when I originally started the series on Literotica, it was titled "Slipping into Depravity." I changed the title for Patreon. Why? How the hell do I know? I had no idea what I was doing back then. I think I was falling in love a little with my characters, so I wanted to use their names. I was just stumbling around. But now that I have a little experience, I realize its not good to make it hard for readers to find you from one location to another, so I'm trying to show a little consistency.

Also on "Slipping into Depravity" a 39 + chapter series could be really overwhelming for people coming in. They might look at that and think "Nope! That's a commitment! I want to jerk off, not buy house together."

So what I decided to do was break Depravity into a series of collections of about 8 to 10 chapters each. That's manageable for people and not too scary.

A lot of the series consists of 'mini-stories', 2 to 4 chapters long, as well as standalone chapters. So I introduced sub-heads to identify 'mini-stories' and where you were in them 'part two of three' that kind of thing. Hopefully, that will make it easier to find and navigate.

Then, I decided to add to the titles. Ch. 32 doesn't tell you much. But Ch. 32, Crushed like a Cuck Bug, is more intriguing, and better yet, more memorable. If someone wants to go back and find a particular chapter, that will make it easier.

I've added a special collection for "Slipping Into Darkness" commentary and annotations. Maybe people will find some of that interesting. Like where I reveal I've quoted a line from Dracula, or talk about Kayley's motivations, or give hints of this or that. Maybe people will like that, if they're into it, I should make it easy for them to find things.

In that vein, for most of the collections, I don't have to worry two much. They basically number themselves. So no problem.

Except for Memoirs, where I did four gangbang stories but didn't really show what order they take place in. So I fixed that. I suppose it doesn't matter what order people read them in. But maybe it helps? The big problem with Memoirs is that I'm just putting up stories randomly from my life. So while the Trains fit together, and the Jules/Alice/Phoenix all follow each other, what about losing my virginity, what about my crush on Neil, or running away to Minneapolis, or the Shit Game in high school. And if I put up stuff after Phoenix then there's no guarantee. This is just how I feel and what I feel like sharing. Anyway, haven't solved that problem.

I may change my picture. It's been pointed out to me that having my photo on site is not a great idea. I'll probably go with a cartoon version of me. Some younger, prettier, saucier four colour me. It's a shame though, I feel that I've really come a long way in opening up. When I was first on Patreon, reading Don Silver, or commenting on Literotica, I went with this ambiguous name that gave away nothing. I wouldn't even admit I was a woman when I made comments, I would just go "Huff huff, as a MAN with lots of testosterone, here's how I see Sarah's emotional dynamic and transference and how she feels she's flowering sexually." And other commenters would go, "You're a chick, right. You're totally a chick." And I'd go "NO WAY, I PEE STANDING UP AND MISS! GRUFF GRUFF." I remember, I drove my publisher write up the wall with my insistence on absolute privacy. Now he looks at me and just shakes his head. But I think changing my picture is sensible.

I notice Mr. Jakobs and a few others are using visuals and graphic images to flag their work. I like it, I'm not sure about it. On the one hand, it seems a bit intrusive and distracting. And on the other, I'm a little reluctant to do AI stuff. But I'm definitely thinking about it.

Inspired by Larry and Hannah, I've joined Discord. And I'm going to look at posting some of my content on other free erotica sites.

But mainly, right now, I want to focus on making this little Patreon as user friendly, as easy to navigate, and as inviting as possible. I've taken a look at what some other people do and picked up good ideas to copy, as well as bad ideas to avoid. I want a site where people who sign up can decide to hang around because there's so much that's enjoyable and they can access it easily.

FINALLY THE TEASER in the upcoming Chapter, you will meet someone you have met before. But the fact that you are meeting them has implications for the future arcs. You may even want to go back and find their previous appearance.
