Progress report and future plans!
Added 2018-10-31 21:51:53 +0000 UTCSince I started living exclusively off of Patreon income here last August, I've updated with eight teasers every month. For comparison, my monthly average before then on Patreon (from July '17 to July '18) was three teaser updates per month, with my record being eight (that awesome Christmas break I extended with my vacation days). Quite a few months had no story updates at all (I was otherwise working full time).
My general metric for a teaser is roughly two thousand words, and I post every other day for the first half of the month. This system works pretty well, and I'm producing content faster and much more consistently than before. Not sure I want to push myself further just yet and risk burning out, but I've got good habits going and I'm optimistic right now. (Also, eager to write out more stories!)

In the future, I'll probably reserve two of the eight teasers each month exclusively for RE: Trailer Trash. I'm going to begin posting it to different writing and web-novel sites in a monthly update of four thousand words or so.
In addition, I'm going to try to reserve one of the other updates each month for something strictly art related. I want AnimeCon Harem to someday have cover art, character art or even a few scenes depicted. That would be amazing.
As a general reminder, my Patreon is going patron-only at the start of 2019!
Any praise, criticism, suggestions or opinions on my progress is appreciated! Expect RE: Trailer Trash tomorrow on the 1st.
Comments
Just a very quick comment, though I am not one of your Patrons. I think Bad End and Opportunity Struck are AnimeCon Harem chapters (so I'm trying not to read the drafts/spoilers). It would be good if you could prefix them to indicate that. i.e. consistent with Trailer Trash chapters (which I know are numbered not named but you do use the Book title there). Of course that complicates Cosplay Contest as it isn't part of AnimeCon Harem main stream as I currently understand it. Great work and keep it up.
