16-13: Low-Res Early Access (Patreon)

So I'm a little worried about my ability to continue to work on the comic for a living in the future. I love having the opportunity to create art and actually pay my bills and get food, but it's a bit odd that, as I feel that the comic is improving in art and in writing, we're also starting to actually make less through Patreon each month. I've started selling the comic through Mikandi, but despite actually getting help from the Mikandi creator to spread word of the comic through their front page I still haven't really gotten any money from it. I worry because I feel like there's not much more I can physically produce art-wise for the comic while still maintaining a solid schedule.

One thing I'm thinking of doing is producing short stories between chapters... I'd actually like to do some fan comics, but I can't fully justify it since it would take time away from the comic. But what do you all think? What if between each chapter I started drawing fan comics, either for shows or video games, or maybe even other webcomics? Would you want to see that, or would you rather just see more of BCC? If people are interested I'm thinking it would be decided, similar to Side Dishes, through fan suggestions and polls. Although with the difference of being deliberately short stories, instead of going off votes per-page. So does anyone think that's a good idea? And if so, what franchise do you think would be good to draw some fan comics for? I feel like fan works tend to get more attention... Rainbow Flyer has actually gotten a lot of support for her own work based on fans of some Pokemon and DC fan comics she drew.
