The Future

Hello everybody!

As you may already know, Chapter 24 will be the last chapter of Girlfriend With Test Device. It's been a long long road but we're finally getting there and I'm very excited to be sharing it with you.

So what happens next? Well, it turns out I've got a lot of other stories to tell, and I want your help deciding which is next!

To start, I'm going to step away from multi-year sprawling epics for now and try my hand at shorter form fictions. I have more big stories up my sleeve, rest assured, but I'm going to make sure I'm good and ready before diving into another 2 year voyage. 

These stories will be about the length of a typical GFWTD chapter (10,000-12,500 words) and will come at approximately the same rate. 

Some of these shorter fictions are going to be swap based, some are not. I figure what I'll do for now is alternate -- one month  I'll do swaps, then the next I'll stretch out a bit and do something else. I have a lot of great stuff planned in either direction including a bunch of really fun one-shots featuring the device. It's going to be a fantastic year.

So, here's where you guys come in. I want you to help decide which stories I'm going to write.

Here's the plan: Each month I'm going to provide a list of potential stories from my notes and I'm going to have all of my readers vote on which one they want to see. Whichever one wins will be the story I start writing next. 

You patrons are going to get a bigger say, I'm currently looking at 5$ patrons getting two votes and 10$ patrons getting 5, and I may introduce a higher tier for more votes, but we'll see how this works out first. 

Besides that, around here things will be business as usual. The stories will get posted here for the 10$ patrons first as soon as I'm done, then for the 5$ patrons two weeks later. It'll then get posted to DA and any secondary sites whenever the next story gets posted here. Basically, instead of being one chapter ahead of everyone else, you guys'll be a story ahead. 

So what do you think? I want to hear from you. Is this a good idea or a stupid one? This is a great opportunity to set a clear path going forward - what else would you like to see out of the future of this patreon?
