James: It's hard to believe, but this venture is now four years old and in that time I've written 38 "Quickie" short stories. Basically, one every month for the last three years and change.


Mistress Cereza: That's a lot of short stories.


James: The crux of the issue is this. I like doing the Quickies, but they do take up significant time each month. I initially envisioned them being 2,000 - 3,000 word shorts but in practice it often takes 3,500 - 5,000 words to flesh out a decent bit of story and sexy action. And they need to be edited and formatted for the different sites I post to, like any other story.


Mistress Cereza: They're certainly fun, but if they're slowing down your other work, it might be time to give them a break.


James: Hence this poll, to see how our patrons feel about it. In regards to how I move forward, there's a few different paths I can take. I can change nothing (one guaranteed Quickie every month.) I can keep writing them, but simply less often, to help speed up other projects. Or we can suspend the Quickies entirely (not forever, but for the immediate future) in favor of getting more full-length chapters done and finishing some of my existing series faster. That would free up more time for commissioned works and my staple series like Latex Futa Nuns From Hell and Athena Corp Chronicles.


Mistress Cereza: A simple enough proposition. Time for our readers to let us know what they favor.


James: Yes, vote away! Keep in mind, this poll isn't binding. (And it will likely have different results on Patreon and SubscribeStar.) I just want to see what you folks think before I decide how to proceed. Thanks in advance for weighing in.
