Monthly Side Stories - Early or Not? (Patreon)

tl;dr - Publish monthly side stories immediately or not?

Hey everyone, some context: this month when I offered a side story I wrote Mrsha as 'Immediately Relevant'. It only occurred to me as I prepared to write the story that I might not have made myself clear.

This chapter's another Public one. It has to be, or else the immediately relevant part can't work. I need to publish it pretty much right after I publish the next chapter or else everything gets screwed up.

I'm very sorry for the mixup, but it got me thinking. This monthly side story idea is good, and it helped me grow my Patreon channel fast. With that said, it's rather hellish to write an additional chapter each month that might be 20,000+ words, but I don't mind since it's for you.

What I do mind is keeping track of the chronology. Since I have ot bear in mind everyone's reading the side stories a month later, I have to slow down using the information these stories reveal.

So I guess my question is this: would you $5+ Patreons mind changing the story so it's immediately released? Ideally, I'd publish each side story (if I can) right as I publish a normal chapter, so you get to read it 2-3 days ahead of everyone else. But it won't be even close to a month's separation from public readers.

No matter what, you will always be ONLY one chapter ahead. That's because it get's too difficult to manage any other way and might end up with Patreons 10+ chapters ahead of public readers, which I don't want.

This one's up to you. I'd like to change it so everything's published in order, but I understand that this is what you pay for. So if outcry is high enough--or if I find myself losing Patrons since paying to just vote for the monthly side story isn't good enough--I might change my mind.

Let me know, and thanks for reading this long post! You all are great and look forwards to this chapter. It's...it's gonna blow your minds.
