Branching Off
🕑 Added 2022-04-07 21:41:10 +0000 UTCIf not for the personal hangups I had the last few months I would have liked to construct and present these ideas sooner.
I'm one of Mr. Pink's regular commissioners, I try to get in for huge-ass commissions several times a year. There was a time he would stream every Friday for cheaper, single commissions, and I thought about how I could approach that versus normal work.
It's too crushing for me to stream regularly or to build a schedule around it. I'm just not built for it. I'm too distractable and I become extremely uncomfortable because it gives a sense of being imprisoned, isolated and confined. This has happened to me plenty of times long before I started working in the FenGames sphere in other hobbies and although I've tried to find ways to work with it, I admit: I can't.
So what I want to do would go something like this:
Every Friday, for no less than four hours, take reduced-price commissions for writing. A maximum word limit of 2000, and $15/1000w - or, $10/1000w for those who are pledged to this patreon for $5.
I believe I said before that I don't want to get rid of the scene voting feature for that tier because it's why we have things like the Blue Viper in Cherry's, and Anno Facesitting, and plenty of other wild scenes. I want this to give more value to the tier and for these potential Friday stream-jams to re-enable my original vision of getting lots of content into the game at a reasonable pace. The Friday idea also allows me to take simple requests to amend existing content. For example, I was approached about Kelly's Undertable Oral event - the player gives her head while she works. They would like it to be split off where the player isn't always a brat, and does what she says.
When I first came up with the $5 scene & vote idea, I really did intend for it to be small-scale, but over half of the things written for it took off in their own direction. It would be wise to keep it that way - the $5 tier can give me ideas and vote on them, and I will take the idea and run with it as far as I think it needs to go.
The reduced price Friday commission streams would be done in batches of three, using methods I've developed over years of working in TiTS to create scenes with enough variation, rather than too much, for encounters and events that people feel could use a boost. The rules of content submission still apply, of course, and my own decision on whether or not to do the scene in question, which, generally speaking, would only apply to working on characters I may not be interested in.
Any comments posted here and any DMs will send me an email notification. Tell me what you think, if any here have strong opinions on this idea.

I dont think anyone would have any complaints. Im a bit worried about the extra workload having a negative affect on you, but if you don't see any issue with that than I dont see why not! Im sure the extra cashflow from a semi-regular stream wouldnt hurt eh?
