So since I started my patreon, I have been doing a monthly free TF Special* that every month I contact a random patron to decide what I draw.

This has been in part to reaching the monthly goal each month that I set.  However, a few months ago Patreon as a whole discontinued the monthly group goals feature.  I've still been doing them, and I still plan on doing them at least through the end of 2023.

However - this gives me the opportunity to change the way I do them IF you all would prefer a different method.  I'm listing some options here in a poll - the winner will determine how we do them moving forward for Sept - December this year :)

* TF Special = a 10 page, single character TF sequence, done all with full pages (no comics or extra panels or backgrounds).  
I have a full "form" that has short write-in answers that includes things like starting character, ending gender, ending animal, form (anthro/were/nonmorphic), TF trigger, character reaction, and sfw/nswf

This poll will run until Sunday Sept 3 at 8pm CST

I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised that the majority seem to be inclined to keeping things the way they have been with me reaching out directly to a random patron each month (and sometimes I don't hear back and need to pick another) BUt - ya'll have spoken pretty clearly. Maybe after December I'll try a few in a different method, though. Granted, I don't mind doing niche ideas - because like Jeroen and Wendu mentioned, when there are build-a-sequence style it tends to keep things solely to overly common themes.

Democracy doing its thing i guess ^^ will the donation sequence vote still be a thing? I see it worked sort of well for the Eagle lesson since avian TFs are surprisingly rare, but not so much for the werefox sequence. I've seen some genuinely great ideas posted by patrons that are always great to see used.

I will definitely be doing them here and there - but not every month. I'm drawing one of the runner ups from the previous poll this month :3. I don't want to see the not-most-popular ideas never getting done just because they don't win the majority. So for donation arts it will be a mix of me picking suggestions, me doing my own ideas, and polls of those.
