Update.
We're going to make a change to our short story polls. From now on, when we hold a poll it'll be for the complete story, usually about ten of our short chapters. So that means for now we're working on The Guide until it's finished, then we'll have a new poll where you can choose the next story. Releases will be on the same schedule, two (maybe three since doing this should get us a bit more organized) chapters a month. We're doing this because now we're working on too many stories at the same time which makes it feel messy and it's hard to keep track of all characters, chapters, and other aspects of workflow. We think this will benefit you guys as well since you'll get faster to the end of a story.
We'll continue to post the text for each new chapter when it's done in the $10 tier and above as a preview. That way you'll get to read it a week or two before the illustrations are done.
Also, we've been working on collaborating with other illustrators to bring you more content in addition to the monthly Noises chapter. We have an artist who has started working on a reboot of Princess Na'Seen, another artist adapting Mothership Wilderness to comic form, another working on The Sex Talk, and another who is working on a new short that we'll post the text for in the $10 tier in a little bit. We also have other artists interested, so we have a bunch of irons in the fire. Some of these projects may fizzle out, but we're getting solid interest and hope to have some of this additional content in the months going forward. When things get more definite, we'll start filling you in on who the artists are, and when to expect the release of these projects.
Recap .... In the next polls we will choose the chapter already completed (full story), so will it be released already complete or in pieces? So will the guide be out complete in a few weeks? Instead, will other stories also be drawn by other illustrators?
The next chapter of the Guide will be out in a day or two. Then, we'll release one or two chapters of it per month until it is finished. Then, we will hold a poll for a new story. There will be other stories drawn by other illustrators. Not sure how many or when yet, but those are coming and unrelated to our new poll system.
That's a good choice, even from a reader point of view it seems you are trying to work on too many things at the same time.
I think this a good move. Focusing on one or two story short stories and one main at a times makes thing easier for everyone. I think that getting the guide and Betty done should be the priority since those two stories are the furthest along especially Betty.
Big thumbs up on this new plan. Love the idea of involving other artists, and if the volume of high quality illustration increases would even be interested in raising my contribution as well.
Will I get access to wish granted at some point or is that only for higher tiers?
When it's illustrated, it'll be available to the $5 tier and above
Any release scheduled for this week?
We're very close to releasing the next chapter of The Guide
