✍️ What Should We Do with the Archive ✍️
🕑 Added 2023-10-25 13:30:31 +0000 UTCSo, let's talk.
I think how the current archives (the SFW one and the NSFW one) are set up is... pretty silly.
They're both full of holes. The SFW misses all the NSFW parts (some of which are kinda important to the story) and the NSFW archive is exclusively NSFW (which again, kinda defeats the purposes of having a series of stories).
Should I just make it one archive that includes both SFW & NSFW? I want to make accessing the content simple and easy and right now it just feels clunky and nonsensical.
I was thinking we instead have one complete archive (SFW & NSFW) as that way all the stories are together and easy to access. If we did that, I think the fairest way to do it would be to move the archive access up to the $10 tier exclusively. I know this might seem a little mean, but the $5 tier do get a lot of perks as a starter, perhaps even proportionately more than the $10. I want all the tiers to be in proportion and fair.
Furthermore, the $5 tier does not allow patrons to access any NSFW content that isn't specifically free to all. So in essence, having the archive (which is full of exclusive NSFW material) be solely for $10/above makes a bit more sense - and is fairer to the $10 patrons.
What do you guys think? I'm just thinking there's not much point to an archive if one - it's a mess, and two - it doesn't work as a complete archive.
I think this makes a lot of sense, but please let me know your thoughts.

Having the whole story would be great! It's sometimes hard when you have to look through different platforms to find everything (not that I mind). Keep up the good work :)

I think i agree with a lot of the people that have already commented, The NSFW should be a full archive of all, and the 5$ peeps get shortcuts to the SFW stuff. if managing the shortcuts/links for only SFW becomes too much of a hassle, by all means keep the archive at the 10$ level, that's very resenable of a cost for it

I personally think that a more streamlined archive would be more beneficial, especially for the audios that come as a series. It might also be an opportunity to merge some of the series with some of the one-shot audios that feel like extensions of a series but aren't. What comes to mind are the three Lamia audios, as they are not all classified as a series, but the Lamia character is so similar in all three that they could all be considered a miniseries, life with a Lamia, considering they dont really form a story but are more slice of life. IDK, just might be something to investigate, merging some of the one-shots with appropriate series.

May be a tad more involved, but are there any CRM Archiving services for this? Thinking rather than Drive links, you could have a CRM service somewhere that checks Patreon access, and allows searching filtering by Patreon access, keywords etc e.g. Tomboy, SFW. Not sure if anything exists currently out the box though. Work in IT so may just be overthinking this
