Illustrations! And a 2020 Story PDF Omnibus (Patreon)

As you may know, I wrote a decent amount of original content in 2020. I got kind of attached to some of the characters, and started to think about ways I could dive a little deeper into the plots I liked. Beyond that, the main things I would normally use my Patreon funds for (i.e. wining and dining potential clients, comiket budget) weren't really possible last year for...Reasons. 

Also, Patreon works as a simple way to post these stories, but it isn't exactly the most effective platform for preserving access to them over time. I spent a few days at the end of last year playing around with making simple pdf versions that could be more easily distributed. At the same time, I started checking around various corners of the web for artists who might be able to illustrate a few choice scenes. 

After some time searching, I made contact with the lovely Myrrhamir, discussed some details of the project, and she got to work with frankly amazing speed and sizzle. 

And so I'm happy to announce I'll be putting out those 2020 stories in a convenient, collected, and ILLUSTRATED digital edition.

Five points on the project:

1. My goal is to make a PDF ebook including all 11 of the stories I wrote for Patreon in 2020, which will contain 5 with illustrations.

2. I'm shooting for completion of the project (and release of the PDF on Patreon) around early/mid-June 2021.

3. When the PDF first releases, it will be available on Patreon for all patrons ($1 level and up) for 2-3 weeks. After that, I'll be taking it off Patreon and moving it to a sales website (TBD) where it can be purchased individually.

--When the PDF goes on sale, it'll probably be priced in the 5-7 USD range.

4. 2 of the 5 illustrations (scenes from October and November's stories) have been completed already, and Myrrhamir is currently hard at work on a 3rd (a scene from March's story). I'll open up the last two for patron requests/voting in a poll (like other polls, $5 tier) that will run from around the start to the end of March 2021. 

--I'm exempting the three stories that were already illustrated from the poll. The poll will include 8 scene candidates, one from each eligible story.

--Because of my own hopeless clothes horse preferences, the scenes involved will focus less on nudity/sex and more on outfits/sensuality, though a high degree of CFNM (powerful women wearing snazzy outfits while shirtless guys get whipped, etc.) is definitely on the table.

5. I'm not making any other promises about additional content, but I should say that the art Myrrhamir has put together thus far has been stunning and it already inspired a half-finished epilogue for one of the stories in my drafts bin that's currently at ~2200 words. 

--In theory, 2 functional paralogues/epilogues total feels like a reasonable amount of bonus content to expect. I don't want the extras to get to the point where I have to drop work on Steps to Love or new monthly content to get them out.

I think that about sums up the basics. Feel free to ask about details you don't see listed above!
