New Tiers! Pledge Goals Met! And NaNoWriMo

 ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥  Hello, my lovelies! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

So we've reached the last three-month stretch of the year, and with that, I think it's time for some summation of... well, where we're going.

Currently, I have last month's two-part BP currently being edited (I wasn't able to get them edited last month because my editor's only paid for up to four stories per month, and I wrote six!), Chapter 13 of Intrepid Pawns awaiting editing, and Chapter 14 about a quarter-written. I also have a lot of flashfics to edit, a growing number of D&Dazes transcripts to clean up and post, and... well, all-in-all, there's a lot on its way. Almost too much!

Classes have resumed again, but they haven't gotten serious yet. My weekday mornings are still free. I fully expect to lose those mornings soon, and with them will go about 60% of my worktime. Not the end of the world, but it does mean I doubt we're looking at any more six-chapter-months anytime soon. ;)

That said, momentum has seriously gotten better! I'm plugging away at flashfics. The Morning Sprint thing really works to start my mornings right, and I think I'm gonna open it up at least to Catgirl-tier patrons soon, if anyone else wants to watch who hasn't been able to pay the $25 tier.

Anyways, let's dig in. First off, some big news.

THANK YOU!!!!

This is unbelievable to me, and I truly can't thank you all enough. I live in a low cost-of-living area at present, and thanks to all of you, I am now bringing in enough via Patreon to put me at the threshold. We hit the $2,143 marker this month, and in fact, we're currently at over $2,200. For the first time since I started writing, I'm earning something close to a living wage. This means so much to me. I love you all so much! <3 <3 <3

This pledge goal has a really delicious reward, I think, though it's the kind that is probably gonna look like a punishment for me by the end. When we hit Winter Break, or maaaaybe Thanksgiving break, I'm gonna do a 24-hour smut marathon. I'll likely do it in a Google Doc, so people can watch if they like! The goal will basically just be to write as much as possible, with a general goal of 30,000 words. The last one was really fun, and it's a great way to really clear through a backlog.

I might bend the rules slightly from writing, too, so I can do other long-overdue stuff—like finishing the Tumblr compilation, or working on the Creature Compendium.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I owe you a debt that can only be repaid with the hottest, most tempting, irresistible smut I can muster. ;)

New D&Dazes Tiers! Come play with me!

I've expanded access to the D&Dazes tiers, and two new tiers exist: "Pretty Brainless" and "Adoring Angel."

"Pretty Brainless" lovelies earn access to a monthly guaranteed one-on-one roleplaying session with me! It can be D&Dazes, or just free-form roleplay, if you prefer. ;)

"Adoring Angels" basically get "Pretty Brainless", but twice! This is to say, if you want to play in two solo games a month, or a solo game and a game with a group of players, this is the tier for you. I only have one more slot for this tier for now, of course. We can't have too many angels flying around here, after all!

November Semi-"Hiatus"

So, with all that said... next month is not going to be easy, I think.

October will be a delight. November will be an ordeal. In November, I'm going to be committing to write 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo—and this time I'll be writing smut! To be precise, the Exquisite Garden book promised from the $1,667 year.

At this level, I will write a full erotic novel next November: The Exquisite Garden (the first chapter of which is up on the Vault). The Exquisite Garden follows a knight struggling to escape a strangely corrupted garden. This novel will be published as a full ebook!

I won't be posting much in November, since my entire focus will be on completing this book. I don't plan on doing any flashfics, commissions will be taking a backseat (except those which have a specific deadline), and the Bonus Pairing will be much shorter. I'll do the D&Dazes games for the $69+ tiers, but the $30 queue will likely stay still until December, just like the flashfics queue.

I do hope to still do some sprinting, but if I do, it's gonna be focused on CYOA projects.

The book itself won't be posted in its entirety—I'm hoping to sell it on Amazon as an eBook, though rest assured my lovelies will still get access to tidbits from it. This means that November might only see a few public updates, though.

I'm going to do my best to make November nice and as full of smut as I can manage, of course! But know that if things do seem quiet, it's because I have a big update on the way for you to enjoy—a book that's equivalent to maybe 8-9 normal chapters, in fact! I'll really be depending on your support to make it through my first-ever all-smut NaNoWriMo.

Oh, and Here's a Poll

You've one so much for me, so now I want to hear from you: What would you like me to prioritize next for you? There are a few extra-exciting options:

The Creature Compendium: This compilation of Cloistered Lands monsters would be part-encyclopedia, part-smut anthology, part-game manual for a very naughty D&D game. ;)

The Choose-Your-Own-Adventure: Last updated here, I have been leaning on making this project a bit more flexible, so I have more choices in what I write next. That said, like, I totally wanna get back to it in some way!

Bonus Pairings Revisited: Another "rematch" on my favorite options from BP polls past, to celebrate the previously-met $2,000 tier!

Tumblr Compilation: The second compilation of flashfics, to go along with the first.
