Which Two Serials Do You Want My Focus On?

I've been asked recently in discord for a vote again to see which serial people want most on Friday Nights and Sunday Nights.

You can vote for multiple options to get the two top picks

Also, I'm sorry about my busy work schedule that's been putting me a bit behind; the mental health field is seeing some stress with people not coming to work or calling in sick or needing to take care of family.

TO Audiobook: Clean or Explicit?

I'm a little concerned that the explicit version might not sit well with a broader audience.  I mean, the F word is used quite a bit by the gang and there's a TON of profanity in the first Volume.  I guess I'm just looking for your opinion on using the clean version over the explicit for the audiobook version.

I just want to make sure everyone wants this serial and to see if you really prefer the Explicit Version.  Thank you for giving me your input, guys.  You can v...
