Sporemageddon! (Patreon)
Content
Hello friends and fungi!
So, as many of you know, Sporemageddon is coming along nicely. I mentioned launching it in May here and there, and that was my hope for a time.
In reality though, I see two distinct options for the story going forward, and since you guys are here, I thought I'd share these options with you and see what you think of them.
Those of you reading this who are patrons won't be impacted much. You have access to the Sporemageddon files already (28 chapters so far!), so this will be more about deciding the future of the story.
These are the options:
The Kindle Route
With this option we will finish writing the first volume of Sporemageddon, have it edited and formatted, then post it onto kindle and possible kindle unlimited for a limited time. Once that time is up, we'll post to Royal Road for everyone else to read.
Pros: More money, maybe.
Cons: Significantly longer time spent working on the project without knowing whether or not it will pay out. People on RR will only get to read Spore sometime in early 2023 at the earliest.
The Royal Road
With this option, we'll wait until Sporemageddon has reached 45 or so chapters before posting it onto Royal Road. We'll likely be posting one and two chapters a day, alternating between the two for the entirety of the first thirty days of posting.
Pros: It'll be up on RR so more people will get to see it, and it'll be posted within the month. Likely a small boost in patrons if the story is popular (I hope)!
Cons: If the story proves very unpopular or unsuccessful, then I'm liable to lose motivation to keep working on it. Less money made on Amazon.
With either option, the eventual physical/ebook release on Amazon isn't likely to happen until 2023.
So yeah, I'm leaving the option up to you guys!
