dissidentlove has just launched a Patreon, and you all should know about this.

Why should I care, you may ask? You may see dozens of folks asking for your hard-earned dollarydoos every time you open your journals. What makes this one special?

Well first, Dissident Love is an extremely talented writer and creator. Now yes, the works they produce are usually pornographic in nature. They often feature herms, hyper furs, growth, and other kinks related to bigness and size. In my experience, the ratio of literary to visual artists in such fields is very biased towards visual arts, so I think supporting those creators that write great stories is even more valuable. Hey, we've all got our fetishes, so if that's your thing, you really owe it to yourself to support them.

If so, what makes Dissident Love stand out from the crowd? For me, it's the added emotional aspects. There's plenty of wank material out there that does the job, but is fairly bland overall. Hot, but not fulfilling. But Dissident's stories are more than that - they're about emotional struggles, about self-discovery, about finding meaning within and outside yourself. Very few writers can consistently deliver on those things, and fewer still can do so while still delivering on quality written erotica. Dissident Love is of that rare breed. These are stories that both makes your heart sing and your loins throb without either suffering for it.

So between the under-represented genre and the quality of the output, Dissident Love richly deserves your support. If you haven't read their works, do so: Br'er Rabbits is a great standalone piece, to give you a sample of their work. They have longer-running series too, such as Amber's 69 First Dates, which explores growing up as an outsider, trying to find love and self-acceptance in a world that you don't quite fit into. If you like what you see, you owe it to your self to contribute to future projects like these.

As to the Patreon itself, it's very reasonable - $2 a month gives you access to all Patron posts, which is an absolute steal. The cameo tier is only $10, which is a bargain compared to other Patreons. Dissident Love is not asking for a lot, but you get far, far more than what you give in the process.

If you need more convincing, read Dissident Love's own journal about their goals and processes for the Patreon, or check it out directly yourself at www.patreon.com/dissidentlove. If you find words touch you in ways images don't, if you want stories about sexy creature doing sexy things, or if you want a richer reading experience, then your support will go a long way towards giving you precisely what you want.
