Schedule Change For Tuesdays

Running this Patreon has been a grand experiment, and overall I think it's been a huge success!

I've learned a lot over the past four months, and one thing that's become clear is that my current publishing pace isn't sustainable.


Three chapters a week, when my chapters average 5k or more words, is simply too much. Basically I was publishing a NANWRIMO novel every month, + 20%.  On top of that, I really underestimated how much time the back end stuff would consume.

There will still be stories publishing on Tuesdays, but they will now be every other week, max of 2 per month.


There's no change to the Wednesday and Thursday stories. There will be a new chapter on Wednesday (exclusively for Patrons) and one on Thursday, every single week.


This may mean I have to re-think how I do the Tuesday stories, going for shorter formats or rotating them less (or more). Also, if I get significantly ahead, I may throw in some extra Tuesdays, but that's not a promise, just a possibility.

If you have opinions about how you'd like to see the Tuesday content evolve, comment below! 

Some options are: 


Let me know if you like one of those options or if you have another idea. We're very much a work in progress here. :)

Those are good ideas.

I'm with Nani. That could be another thing you do instead of long chapters Week 1 Fan Story - less work you need to do besides some reading to make sure story meets your standards Week 2 Q & A / Polls - where you can interact with the Patreons or do your Polls Week 3 Short Chapter Stories/ new Story testing - where you can test the waters of new story ideas or a short chapter story. Week 4 Sols Recommendations - I'm sure we would all want to read stories or artists you recommend.

Your stories are worth the wait. It's a pleasure to be submerged in this world you've created, and I'll go with whatever works best for you, I'm sure lots of other users who support you feel the same. So happy I stumbled across Baby Briana on Reddit all that time ago. Would you ever be open to some type of author Q+A? I have no idea what that would look like or if you even have the time, but I'm so curious about your creative process and how you do your research, create your characters and your plot etc.

Yeah!!!

Interesting! I do not have the discipline to do that. :D It makes sense though.

You're welcome. Thanks for supporting said work!

I like being able to read multiple chapters at once, sometimes I wait to read things until I can have multiple chapters to read.

That's an interesting idea. I've been wanting to do more writing where the whole thing is done before publication. It'd let me edit better for tone and overall story flow.

I would be fine with the every other Tuesday or you could just do stuff like that and surprise us with something with multiple chapters once a month.

Figuring out the rotation with what I have going. Though of course as soon as I decided to cut back on publication slots, I got an idea for a new story. Where am I going to find time to post my Gay Space Babies feat: Latex BDSM Nurse story now? Truly, the life of an erotica writer is difficult.

I would be fine with you just rotating with the current stories no need to add more, or are you saying you need to figure out how to rotate with the current ones you have going.

Anytime and Thank You. I’m sure it will all work out.

Do I take days off? Sometimes as a treat! :D I've been working 6 days a week and long hours but I do plan to cut back a little. Do I outline / research / plot stuff? Yeah, I have a whole tracking sheet for my productive time and that's a category on there. It's like, 5% of my time right now. Business stuff is almost 20%, which I'm hoping to get down but I'm guessing is just one of those permanent fixtures. :( Thanks for looking out for me though! I'm really enjoying what I'm doing, and I think I'll be good with pulling back 2-3 Tuesday stories a week. If not, I'll adjust again. :)

It’s all up to you but my opinion is post new stuff every week but keep rotating it. I wouldn’t add anything new unless you move one your current stories from rotation. Your schedule has got to be crazy. You are going to post Getting Little on Thursdays which leaves JaM, DLG and Diaper Changeling as your current stories. Plus you are always writing weeks in advance. My advice is keep your three remaining stories on Wednesdays and rotate them. Also I agree with Clo. Keep Tuesday open for your commissions and member work. I’d take a stab at that l. Do you ever take a day off? Do you ever just sit down and say “I’m going to work on this story but all I’m going to do is outline and get my thoughts together”? I’d take a day for that as well.

If you’re publishing less frequently, then I’d alternate less. But ultimately do what works for you - we’re just along for the ride! Thanks for all your hard work :)

You create the criteria, you have editors read the story. If they think it's worthy they submit it to you for final review

I like the idea at first blush, in fact I like it a lot. I have to think about how I'd implement it. Patreon will hold me responsible for any content on this page, so there would need to be some kind of submission / vetting process.

Maybe have some Tuesdays be days where fans can submit their own stories
