Kidding aside, I am so, so happy to have a readership this generous, active and, most of all, engaged! I really would not have kept writing had the initial response to Evergreen Forest not been so positive, and since then, I've pretty much just kept plugging along and savoring the kind words! Having some financial support has been a real stress reliever. Thank you all so much!
So, what does this mean for my work? A smutty "Choose Your Own Adventure" novella? Goodness! How will I be managing that? Well, with a lovely little program called "Squiffy", that's how! It actually looks incredibly simple to master, and I've already begun bouncing around ideas for it. It won't change my existing writing schedule. Just something I'll be tinkering with.
When will it be finished? No idea as-of-yet, but as I fidget and experiment, I'm totally gonna be involving you guys in the process! I'll be releasing sneak peeks, naturally, and asking lots of questions about reader preference.
Also, I'm basically taking for granted that readers would want this second-person story to feature a male main character, based on previous reader input. If there's any serious disagreement with that, though, I can start a poll. ;)
One idea I'm really excited about is the chance to introduce a $4 tier for readers to write their own unique choices, influencing branches of the narrative for me to react to! Sort of a "Collaborator" level. For instance, when you're confronted by a succubus in your bed, one pledger might submit the choice "Try to use the hypnotic watch on her", while another might submit the choice "Try to hide under the covers", and those would both become branching paths for the story!
Would that option interest people?
