How should I post my stories?
🕑 Added 2023-04-03 10:50:31 +0000 UTCHello everyone, I'm writing this post mostly because I know I've been rather absent from Patreon lately and I wanted to give y'all something.
Progress on the comics is proceeding at a snail's pace, unfortunately, due to the very busy schedules of my collaborators. Because of this, I'm putting more effort into my writing, to ensure I can still give y'all something in the meantime. And that has led to me to realize an issue regarding posting stuff on Patreon.
I made a poll some time ago, asking if you'd want me to post my stories on Patreon in addition to DeviantArt, and the result was an overwhelming "yes". However, I must admit that I'm not really sure how to post my stories here.
See, I write my stories on Google Drive Docs, not on Microsoft Word or something like that. As a result, while I can copy the text, I can't really turn it into a file which can be shared. If I'm going to post my stories here on Patreon, I would like to have them organized somehow, but I'm not sure how to do it: copypasting the entire text in a post like this one is pure insanity, but at the same time copypasting the text on a Word doc and then sharing it might lead to weird formatting issues. And fixing all of them by hand is not an appealing prospect, given just how much text I would need to correct manually... (it wouldn't surprise me if all the stuff I've posted on DA accounts to half a million words by now)
I could just make a post whenever I upload a new story, with the link to DeviantArt, but I don't love this option because it would make it impossible to keep an organized archive here on Patreon. Not to mention, I've been thinking about extending my uploads to Archive of Our Own lately, so having an archive would be pretty important to keep all of my content well-organized.
So, in my confusion I ask you: do you have any idea on how I should post my stories here on Patreon?
