Patreon and Posting Stories
🕑 Added 2017-03-17 17:28:01 +0000 UTC So how are all you deliciously naughty people out there? ;)Just a quick update while I work on the new story. I have spoken with Patreon and they have told me that posting my stories on here and Lit will be fine. They have said that the length of the stories in most cases isn't a problem, nor really in the longest case - however the latter may 'behave strangely', apparently. So it isn't just you people that do that ;)
I've been told that I can post the stories full-length but I may wish to consider posting them in several chapters. So here is what I was thinking:
As Lit has pages (and I honestly prefer reading the stories on Lit, as I like how it is set up), perhaps posting the stories on here in several Patron-Only posts will feel like the page breaks in the stories. Either that or I could try to post the story whole and see how it behaves.
As you will be reading them (though as I have said they will be on Lit and presented normally on there, so if you prefer to wait and read them there (as I would) you can) I wanted your input. All in one post or several? Let me know on here, by messaging me, or in IM. I will see what you all have to say and then make my decision on what I think is best, but I would like your input. Just to clarify - if I posted them in 'chapters' (or pages, if you will) they would all be posted on the same day so there wouldn't be any waiting.
Just to give you an idea. The average size of my stories on Lit is about 50,000 words. That is what Crying Wolf was, and most of the 8+ stories. House Party was 66,000 words. The new story will be around 150,000-200,000 words. So consider that when you give your input.
And one other thing - Patrons: when I do post a story and the pledges are charged, while I am still trying to work all of this out, what I will do depends on how the story is to be posted. If all in one then I will post it and that will be the charged Patron-Only post. If in several chapters, I will make an 'update' or 'announcement' post that will be the charged post and after that I will make either *the several posts that contain the story that won't be charged but will be Patron-Only.
Back to writing. ...Much more to come ;)
