Summer Update + Growth Drive
2 years ago
Hey, everyone! Hope things are going well and per usual I'm very happy to see new watchers, so welcome out and thanks for the support!
So, going through what's going on in my life at the moment and how that affects my work on here, things have been going decent. I went to Anthrocon a few weeks ago and that was an absolutely fantastic experience. It's also the first really big con I've been to since the pandemic has been on the downswing so that's also a plus! In addition, I've also been expanding out where I'm putting my stories at so look forward to seeing some other sites where you might be able to find me!
On a related note with AC, you might've noticed that there was no update to the Growth Drive story and that's primarily because there was nothing to actually update. I didn't receive any donations for it and I've actually thought about why and come up with a few explanations.
The big reason was because it was a bit of a snap decision to start it in order to help out my friend JT with some unexpected expenses post-con. However, that whole thing ended up more or less resolving itself so the urgency became, well, not as urgent but I'd already committed to it so I went forward with it. This was definitely a mistake on my part because it was post-con at the beginning of the month when people's finances aren't the most stable and I didn't advertise the drive very much other than vague hints over the last few months.
Another reason I think could also be the subjects. I know Gadget is relatively popular but Julia is definitely less well known than I'd thought. The gimmick idea of them being mice and tying their weights to that in retrospect was also a poor idea as even I was having trouble thinking of what that would translate to, so potentially going with a more traditional gaining structure might've been a better idea.
So, to help remedy that in the future, I'm going to go back to the drawing board and take some suggestions for pairings or just subjects in general. Sound off your opinions below, I'm always looking for feedback and suggestions from y'all. I'm always looking for feedback.
Anyways, I've rambled on long enough about things. Commissions are coming along with all three in my queue being bounties so look forward to that coming up soon.
Until then, take care!
