Update: Stories, Rewrites, Colourings, Questions, Good News

Greetings! So I have quite a few updates to give out and some doubly great news!
So to start, I should explain where I am with stories. The next Streak story is coming along well, but there was a significant delay, but that leads me to the first of the good news. I recently started work on something I should’ve done long ago. I’ve started writing detailed synopses for all future Streak stories. This has eaten up lots of my time, but it has seriously helped me arrange my thoughts and plan out what’s coming, and has definitely helped me get over my writer’s block and has put me back on track with the next Streak story. Or rather, it has now that I’m mostly done with all the other synopses for this “season”, and that leads me to my next piece of news.
The current “Streak vs.” series contains exactly 10 stories, so we’re over half-way there. Afterwards, I’ve already got a whole new “season 2” taking shape in my synopses documents. I also have to say that writing all these stories has done me wonders for my writing skills, and I’m really looking forward to the far more investing stories I have coming up. I’d really like to tell more meaningful stories, rather than simple excuses for superhero-related kinks, and I think I’m really heading in the right direction. So a big thanks to all of you who have been reading them and given me some very much appreciated faves and feedback! (And please, do not be hesitant to express honest thoughts on my works. Constructive criticism is something I desperately want!)
In the meantime, I’m also thinking of giving ALL my Streak stories so far some proper numbers to indicate their position in the timeline, combining them all into a single season. Not only that, but since I seem to share George Lucas’s affinity for coming back and making changes to older works, I am planning on extensive rewrites to my older stories to polish them up and make them far more professional and streamlined with the overarching story (and, of course, make them PART of the overarching story). But no, I am not done yet. I am also considering making PG, SFW versions of every Streak story so that those of you less interested in the kinky side of things will be able to enjoy my attempts at serious and more creative storytelling without the obvious adult stuff getting in the way, since I really want Streak to be more than just a generic character used as an avatar for my kinky ideas, and making alternate versions of his stories without those distractions is exactly what I need to do!
That’s the first half of the good news. The second is that, thanks to my good buddy megawolf77, I have found an excellent method of cel shading the colourings I do for him. It’s called the “pen” tool, and it will be a HUGE help, as you can see with my latest submission, and I plan on applying it plenty. With that in mind, you’ll hopefully get some much better quality colourings from me in the near future, and at a much faster rate. This also includes some shiny new re-colourings of my older ones, updated with what I’ve learned from colouring over time, and possibly with the much better shading.
Finally, I am honestly considering deleting some of my older stories. Specifically, the ones with the fewest favourites. A lot of them are definitely not my proudest works (I deleted a cringe-worthy fan-fiction some time ago already) and I feel like they leave an embarrassing mark in my gallery.
That is all, and I hope to get you some more great stuff nice and soon!
