June Update - More Feedback?
🕑 Added 2018-06-11 15:06:39 +0000 UTC Hello everyone!I hope this update finds everyone happy and healthy. Bro hugs all around.
Apologies in advance for the wordy update, skip to the bolded stuff if you just want to get to the gist of it.
First and foremost I just wanted to acknowledge my output has slipped a bit lately. All I can say is life-work-family stuff has limited my writing time this past month. I still pound this keyboard every single chance I get, I am hoping things will lighten up going forward but I can't make any guarantees.
I don't have too much to update you guys on today. Suddenly Daddy is nearing its conclusion (I think). Once it is completed however I hope to do a few extra chapters over on Chyoa, just some short fun side options that never got explored in the main storyline. Wasteland Angel still has a ways to go. The new Aphronus short is coming along. And of course I am dabbling with RotL whenever I find a chance.
It was this last one that got me thinking about things and made me want to reach out for some more feedback from my Patrons. I notice on Chyoa, unsurprisingly, that outside of a few exceptions the crazy Penelope thread has a totally different set of readers "liking" it than the other threads. Same with the Angel and Daddy stories. I think back and it was the case with the various Mistaken Identity threads and The Ultimate Campaign. All of them seem to have a different set of readers. Which makes sense, everyone has different tastes.
Like any author I have my particular interests but my writing is also fairly diverse. Sweet romance to hardcore scenes, hetero to futa to gay, humiliation to worshipful, gender bending stuff, incest stuff, etc, etc.
It got me to wondering about you guys. There are a few of you that I know of some of your particular likes and dislikes. But I thought I'd reach out and collect some more data. I'd like to see how much overlap there is among you and how much diversity. I think I can safely say everyone here likes futanari fiction, but beyond that I'm just not sure.
So, if you are comfortable sharing it, I'd like to ask each of you to shoot me a message here or on Chyoa with what specifically you like and dislike in your erotica. Please be succinct.
If you aren't comfortable sharing your kinks and such I obviously understand. But hey...look at all the crazy shit I've got out there, I am hardly one to judge anyone else's tastes! lol
Understand that I can't promise to instantly start targeting your particular tastes. But I think having more information is better than less. If I find that all of you like or dislike a particular fetish I can try to steer my stories a bit in response. I do ask that you please not give me ultimatums or veiled threats of pulling your support. I do the best I can with my writing and I always take your feedback seriously, there is no need to try to strong arm me one way or another.
In the end I will write what I like. But again, I think more data from my readers is better than less.
Also, while I am talking with you guys, I am always on the lookout for new sources of inspiration. Adult art, manga, comics, animation and flash games in particular. I'm not sure why but art inspires my writers imagination far more than live action video or other erotica stories. You guys know my tastes, if you see something I might like feel free to shoot me a link. Please only well known sites, I won't go to a link that looks sketchy.
(One caveat to that last request. For trap/femboy/futa stuff in particular, please keep your recommendations exclusively to art and animation. I love that shit but the live action stuff does little for me. Weird I know.)
Okay, I've blathered on for far too long. Take care my friends and thank you so much for your support. I'll see ya around the internet.

[Update] Just hours after posting this I received some very tragic news. I'll be taking a couple of days off to grieve and get my head together. I'm sorry fellas, I'll get some new chapters up as soon as my heart is back into it. In the meantime, let those you love know that you love them. Sometimes there isn't another chance to tell them. Take care.

Hey guys, a big thanks for those that gave me some valuable feedback. (Feel free to do so at any time if you didn't already.) And a super big thanks to those that offered condolences. Much love to you guys.

Dito on all accounts. And the good thing about your stories is: we can always re-read them ;)

Condolences for your loss man, I've had a few of those as of late, it's never easy. Take the time you need, I did send you a message as requested, but as far as I'm concerned my pledge is paying off the months I read your stuff regularly without paying a dime, so I only care that you aren't pumping stuff out because I miss it, not because I feel you owe me (can't speak for others).

Oh my, I feel very sorry for your loss. Mein Beileid!
