A little trouble
🕑 Added 2023-01-21 17:31:32 +0000 UTCI'd like to start by thanking everyone for such wonderful support these last few years. it has been a great experience I've enjoyed a great deal.
However subscription is down, in both number of patrons and total patronage.
Though this may be a product of these hard financial times, it could also be sourced to a number of other reasons. and though I've been having a great experience personally the enjoyment of my readers and patrons is just as important if not more important.
I cannot make this experience as enjoyable as possible for everyone without your feedback, so if you have questions, concerns or desires let me know. If you're enjoying certain elements let me know.
regardless I will keep trying my best and keep working hard to create a fun, exciting and saucy characters and stories!
and again thank you everyone!

Been really busy, still looking into it

Did it work? Did you make it?

Sorry for the delay. The old 9-5. I'd say an image with a blurb. So for instance instead of the full story for the image just a quick. "Looks like this is about to happen! What will become of our hero?" Type message you get at the end of serials from back in the day. So for instance for the third image from the most recent post you did for the comic the lines "Tirzaea is stripped! But what were her plans? What will Garrin do? Go to "comic link" to contribute and if you're interested to "patreon link" to donate!

E621 is different in a way that you don't post art on your account. everybody post any arts (some exception) and tags appropriately, usually you can put 10-20 tags and the community pick-it up from there. If you agree I can put what you draw for me

Okay so twitter has a character limit, should I post update text via multiple replied posts or just post images?

I indeed need to update FA more, I'm not savy when it comes to gallery sites so it takes me a while to format the text and fill out tags and such but this year I'm going to put in more of an effort. I don't know much about e621, people seem to have already uploaded some of my art, if people want to keep doing that it sounds like it could be helpful!

Updating galleries would help a lot for sure. FA and e621. Maybe put that lylene scene on FA ?
Alpha Lurker
that sounds like a good idea, I'll work on setting that up

I'd start with the backlog. Let the story entice people to read through. Explain in your opening posts what it is and that at the moment you're showing what the group has done and that if people want they can go to the site to read it all/participate in the current part/donate. Once you hit the current spot you say that you're caught up and that posts will now happen in time with your regular schedule and then just post as you make them. With any luck should bring more eyes and thus wallets.

the first chapter was very experimental, it was not even supposed to be chapter 1 originally, but I've retroactively made it part of the story. Originally designed to test combat mechanics it was very combat heavy. unfortunately combat slows down a story progression significantly. returning to that kind of structure is not completely out of the question but I'd have to severally cut back on non-combat characters and encounters that some people might really enjoy so I'd have to be certain that this is something the majority of people want to see.

If I made a twitter account for King of Pentacles what all should I post there? I've never used twitter before should I post backlog? or just new content?
Seolsaw
Should start posting in new paces. Make a twitter (if it still exists in the future) for just the quest and start posting pieces.

Hey there ! I remember back then what really caught me to the story was the first chapter with the thieves. Especially with your characters sezeda and azzeki. It was simple and straight up ENM/FSecond chapter got more story development which is good. Chapter three was full of serpent so it is a favorite of mine. However, we never really got close to what chapter one was in term of ENM/F. Don’t get me wrong the story is good and the wordbuilding also but for newer people it might be harder to hook on ? Just my tough ! Good work :)
