Patreon Update: Where Things Stand

This page has been paused for some time, and I want to explain why.

I have not been in the right headspace to write special-interest stories for public release. I continue to write privately to refine my process, but publishing new work here has not been possible.

The last story I shared was on May 31. It used the Sudowrite process I’ve been developing and reflected the style I would be using going forward. It had the usual number of views and some likes, but no comments. When r...

Chicken Dinners

Hello friends,

New story for you today: Chicken Dinners.

This was written using Sudowrite, a mix of Claude-3.5 and Claude-4 models, with review and revision by me on every paragraph to ensure it meets my standards. More info in the enclosed .txt file.

I may be resuming payments on this Patreon within the next month or two, and I wanted to give a freebie of the kind of quality to expect going forward, so this post is intentionally open for everyone to view, even unsu...

Indefinite Hiatus

Hello friends,

I’m writing today to let you know that I’m putting this Patreon page on an indefinite hiatus*. How long? I can’t say for certain; it may be one month, or it may be longer as I take the time I need to find my creative footing again.

As I have indicated in previous posts here, I’ve been wrestling with a lack of motivation for some time. It’s not the work itself, nor burnout, but rather a change in the kind of stories I’m drawn to write and the way I’m co...

Eternal Coil (M/M, FoF, OV, D, SD)

Yes, I'm one day early on purpose. The next post will explain why.

October 1, 2024 Poll

Hello friends.

Please vote on what you would like to see posted on November 1.

To remind about the "Sudowrite roulette" option, this would be one story curated to a much greater degree than you've typically seen. In the past, they've been side projects or "quantity over quality". I really want to see what the max potential is if you're willing to give it a chance, but I also want the votes to decide.

As always, in the case of a tie, I will arbitrarily select...

September 1, 2024 Poll

Hello friends.

Based on the comments and results of my previous poll (and the seriously low voter turnout), my main impression is that most of you probably don't mind what I do as long as I post something regularly.

I have decided to dial back the number of stories posted to once monthly while keeping the rate at $5 per month. To maintain some fairness, you may expect for the stories to be slightly longer on average, although I guarantee no specific word counts. Pacing takes prior...

August Hiatus and the Future of this Patreon Page

Hello friends.

As I indicated earlier this month, I will be pausing payments for one month. The next story post will be on September 1.

Also, I have something important to discuss.

I've been running this Patreon page for approximately 20 months straight now, with some planned breaks here and there, but otherwise I have not missed any scheduled post. Enthusiasm and priorities change over time, and I am finding it difficult to maintain the quality you have come to expect from ...

Taming the Temple (Submissively) - Part 2 (M/M, AoF, CV)

Hello friends.

Today I am attaching the second part of Taming the Temple (Submissively).

I still intend to take a brief hiatus in the month of August and will resume posting on September 1. Payments will be frozen at the end of July so no-one will be charged during August. No stories, no payment.

As the voted story came out shorter than I advertised and I feel it might not be up to my usual standards, I have decided to attach an additional AI-assisted story, Cru...

Hello friends.

Please vote on what you would like to see posted on July 1.

Given that I'm a little ahead of schedule, I'd like to pay that time back to my wonderful supporters. Therefore all of the options this time are extra-long but will be treated as one fewer part than they actually are for posting purposes.

As always, in the case of a tie, I will arbitrarily select one of the winners.

Borderline Captivation - M/M, FoF, NC, OV, D, SD

Hello friends.

I have a slight change of plans to announce, but hopefully overall beneficial to you.

The Gryphon/Dragon story that won was advertised as a 2-parter that would be posted on May 15 and June 1. Well, I'm a bit ahead of schedule and it seems silly to withhold the back half of something that's done.

Therefore, I have decided to post the entirety of Borderline Captivation (that story) today, and then I will post at least two AI-assisted stories on Jun...

Hello friends.

The last winning story was a two-parter, so May 15 and June 1 are accounted for. Please vote on what you would like to see posted on June 15.

I am also still open for any AI story requests -- these requests are freebies I use to practice with Sudowrite and are completely separate from my twice-monthly posts. I haven't gotten any requests since I last mentioned this on April 15.

Beastly Problems - Alternate

Hello friends.

As part of my regular experimentation with Sudowrite over the past few months, I tested to see how well it might write the key parts of yesterday's posted story, Beastly Problems. I thought the result turned out well. So if you liked that story and want more of the same (but with a different verbiage), please enjoy the attached file.

If you are interested in only the portion that's different, please seek the dashed line on page 4. Everything below that line...

(Early) April 1, 2024 Poll

Hello friends. I've had a lovely break, but I'm eager to share news and learn what I should be finishing for May 1.

Last February 1, I expressed some consideration for separating handwritten and AI stories into different payment groups within my Patreon page. I would still like to do this sometime soon, but I feel it needs more time in the proverbial oven.

I have been continuing to refine my Sudowrite process and it gets better every month as I imagine and test refinements. I'd li...

AI Story Request - Taste-test of Valor (OV, D)

Hello friends.

Today I am attaching an AI-assisted story that came about from a request by your fellow patron Perdrews. It's about some D&D style adventurers who end up in the very wrong dungeon. Or very right dungeon. It's a little subjective.

The password is the same as usual, and there's a Readme file with a little more info.
