Behind the Scenes: 30 Days for Dillon Part 4 Page 19
If you remember last year, I messed around briefly with creating NFTs. The idea went nowhere. Now, I'm revisiting it as a promotional tool. Creating them on the Polygon network instead of Etherium brings the gas fees down to almost nothing, making them ideal to give out. I'm experimenting with a series based on Shrimp of the Firehouse. If it goes well, I plan to incorporate NFTs in the promotion of future stories.
My plan is to distribute a promotional NFT containing a coupon code to use on Gumroad, hopefully to bring in new readers. To reward sales on Gumroad, I created a second one to distribute to those who buy the book.
I don't know how many of you are invested in crypto or collect NFTs, but if you have a wallet compatible with the Polygon network, send me a DM here with your wallet address and I'll put you on the list. Anyone can claim a promo NFT. The Thank You NFT is restricted to buyers of the book, but I will include paid patrons past and present (since the book was put out last year).
Note: the Promo is limited to 2000, and the Thank You is limited to 113. It's first come, first serve, but if there are enough "buyers," I'll put out a second Thank You NFT to meet the demand.
The NFTs can be seen here:

And if you're interested, I created another Discord server, separate from the fan server, strictly to help develop this idea and distribute the NFTs.

An undercover cop, Dillon Fawkes' cover is blown and he's injected with a new super-steroid. If he doesn't get the inhibitor drug, his size becomes too much and he'll die. He has 30 days to track down the people behind this new drug, but going back undercover means leaving his boyfriend behind. Did he make a mistake spending what could be his final days on the hunt? If he succeeds, how will Travis take the new Dillon?
Spent the last week creating sets and characters. The home turned out better than I expected, so I'm planning to run several "fantasy" sequences. And I think I can make the motel set look different enough as he moves around.
This is my main character as he starts out, Dillon Fawkes. He's starting off as a short guy, but moderately built in an average kind of way.

His boyfriend Travis Laurent. I wanted something a little opposite. He's taller, but skinny-fat, I think.

And the home:

I said it earlier, but for anyone who missed it, there are no videos for Part 2. I had recorded two sessions, but something went wrong and both were unusable. So you're not imagining things if you wonder where the sessions for Part 2 went.

Hope everyone is well this year. As a thank you for your support, I have paused the billing cycle for January. Anyone subscribed at the end of the month should not be charged for January. Please enjoy your holidays, and I hope 2022 starts to finally look up for everyone.

Just an FYI, the recordings for part 2 were ruined. There's another in line for part 1, and so far, I believe those for Part 3 are ok, but part 2 is a black hole.
