A Big Other Welcome
🕑 Added 2025-08-19 22:58:29 +0000 UTCI wanted to take a moment to write a big welcome to the new members of the crew.
I’ve updated my details on Lit, x, Medium and a few other platforms in the past week to note that all my work will always come here first. So I hope that you find something you enjoy.
Just so you know, I’ve got three tiers, behind the free content I post up here. I’ve aligned them pretty much to what Patreon recommended and then tried to make it affordable for everyone. The concept being that on my top tier you should be about half the cost of a large coffee and a muffin at your local coffee shop.
The one I am drinking cost me $16.50, it sounds expensive, but Australia is getting a bit $$$ at the moment.
My thinking is that I want to entertain you, I want you to laugh, to cry, to rage, fist pump and get involved with my characters in my stories, Everything that you donate to me goes directly back into writing more stories.
My tiers are:
Free - Conent that you can see as a free member. this includes most of my author status posts, my story description pages and sometimes preview content or a short ‘one-shot’ story.
Story Access - The entry level subscription, with this you get access to all my published stories here on Patreon.
Raw and Ready - WIth this level, you get early access to my stories and chapters as I post them, as well as the ability to view my stories in an eBook style format, (usualy a PDF)
Full Monty - This is complete access into my brain and thoughts. Not only will you be the first to get access to my stories, but once I have them formatted you will also see my stories notes. NEW - I now have a Full Monty page where I am going to post my draft stories before edit (including all the mistakes) for feedback and any ideas that you have.
If you look at my post from last week you can see that I have a lot of stories in the works and generally I have three active at any one time. Currently I am posting weekly chapters of ‘The Nuclear Family’, a version 2 for one of my more popular Lit stories. I’m also working through edits on some of the ‘raw’ stories up here and am hoping to get them out next month (September 25) which will fix up a number of the issues in them (thank you to the full Monty crew who are helping and providing feedback by the way).
I am always open to questions, thoughts and ideas. I am learning that my creativity comes from a very strange place that is in between passion, depression and hope. I’m enjoying some of the concepts I am coming up with lately and while I should be working on Book 2 in the Dark Christmas Saga which I want to release in November, I have written three new stories ;)
So thats it, thats me, raw and unedited. I’m no super author, I don’t have an agent or a publisher. I work a day job and I have a great family that I love so much.
I hope you enjoy your time here in the ‘Otherverse’ and reach out if you have questions.
Cheers

According to the console you are Full Monty - so you should see everything ;) If you have managed to read 'Disrespect and DNA' I posted the other day, that is my first Fully Monty concept story.

I've got two outlines coming. One, "The Others", is going to be a big family get-together where we can hang out with our family of characters. The other called 'Blood Oath' is an event where a well-to-do family is set on destroying the life of our MC, and some of our favourites in the family come together to help him out.

Okay...stupid question here...how do I determine which level I signed up for? I don't remember! (I'm in my upper 60s now, so maybe that has something to do with it? LOL)

“The Otherverse” has a nice ring to it! Maybe a crossover like event or story would be fun to read in the future ;D Kinda like when you reference one Other relation in a more recent story :D
