January Update
5 years ago
Good morning everyone! Just figured I'd give you a heads up on how everything's going now that the crazy holidays have rolled past. First of all, however, I want to say: happy new year to you all, I hope your year ended well. Thank you for being such amazing supporters of my work, and I look forward to a hopefully even better year this year.
The first thing I'd like you to know is that I am trying to get more consistent releases of my writing for you all. To that end, I aim to have at least two stories released every month. Now, some of you may have spotted the flaw in that logic in that I have a whole lot of things I write that never see the light of day due to anon activity in my queue. To that end, if I'm going to have multiple anons in a row, I plan on interspersing them with personal stories and YCH things (see below).
The second thing I'd like to let you know is that MUFLT 3 is in editing right now. The holidays are a hard time to remain motivated, and I don't push myself to work on this stuff when I don't feel up to it both to avoid burnout and bad stories. So, I should suspect that by the weekend, that story will be out.
The third thing I'd like to tell everyone is that I plan on doing a bit of restructuring during January. I have a website floating out there on the internet that could desperately use an update, so I plan on pouring some time into fixing that up. I plan on writing on exactly one story creatively during that time: the Adam and Neil continuation. Also, from today onwards, I will be using a different commission structure than I used to. I plan on charging $0.01/word (which comes out to $10/1000 words) for every commission going forward other than the new YCH type. If you currently have a spot saved in my queue, it will still be at the old rate, but new slots going forward will be charged at the new price.
The fourth thing I'd like to talk about is the YCH commission type. I hope to have the first of these out in February written around a character provided by my editor to give an example of what you should expect with such a story. I think these will be charged half the rate of a regular commission, as I will have much more control over the setting and significant themes with input by you as to what you'd like your character to do during the main story segment. These will branch off a story I released a while back called Thoughtform, and if you'd be interested, I plan on opening one slot at a time for this queue going on a first come first serve basis, so I don't get as backed up as I do in my regular writing queue.
I heavily considered switching to Patreon this year, but I don't feel it would be the right business model for me at this time due to my sporadic releases from last year. If this year goes better as far as consistent releases, I may consider changing over to that method. For now, however, I've actually got a ko-fi set up that I plan on updating if anyone wants to financially support me because they like the stories I create or anything like that.
I will have an updated commission sheet ready to go within a few days and posted in a journal and under my commission section, so if you're interested in seeing more details feel free to check it out.

I don't get it. You're saying you post commissions when the commissioner is okay being named, but not when they are anonymous?
This section is to say to those who watch my Trello and notice that several stories go through that never get posted, that even if I end up writing a bunch that wouldn't usually be published, that I am still aiming to get at least two posted works a month this year.
I'm also considering starting an After Dark account that comes with the expectation that some of the content there is on the more extreme end so I can post more of these kinds of works. Namely, the ones that the commissioner is fine with having posted that I just don't feel fit on my main account.
