Progress Report

-I am introducing a new reward to the gold tier, either later this month or in February. It will be a submit-a-plot opportunity, which other patrons can vote on. The winning story will be written. A one-shot. Maybe 2000 words, maybe more, I'm not sure yet. I know I was offering a similar reward to all of my followers whether or not they were patrons, but I could only do it annually, or less than annually, and it didn't guarantee the story being written. Offering this as a reward will allow me to do it more regularly. It will be a little more work every month, between writing an additional story and organizing submissions and arranging polls, but I hope it will be fun.

-As previously announced, I am doing a collaboration with the incredibly talented Opik Oort. This is one of three or so collaborations I'm working on with other writers and artists. For each collaboration, I'm striving to do what works best for both me and the other artists/writers I'm working with. For my collaboration with Opik, the story will be exclusive to my account and the comic will be exclusive to Opik's account. In the collaboration I'm working on after this one, I will do a story based on someone else's characters and they will do art based on my characters, and everything produced will be posted on both of our accounts. Each collaboration is different, and I think the goal is to just have fun and engage with other creators and check out their awesome works.

-I am getting my paperwork sorted out in terms of contractor agreements so that I can pay people money for their work rather than being limited to doing trades. I have not been comfortable working with DA artists without patreon accounts because I make income on patreon, whereas DA is largely free. Now that I do have the paperwork sorted, I can feel more comfortable working with DA artists and paying them fairly for any art they might produce based on my stories.

-Anyway, a chapter of The Promotion will be posted once a month, about 1K, and will just be an extra story. It is a stuffing/WG story and a companion to Opik Oort's comic of the same name, so be sure to check it out.

-Currently working on the new chapter of Delicacy. Hope to get it out in the next few days.
