Lady Lucia Update (November Edition)
SISTER WEBSITE
Well, let’s start with the big news first: I’ve decided to create a sister website to this one. Over the last month, a ton of AR/ABDL fans have frequented my site and subscribed to my Patreon. I’m very grateful for the support, of course! However, I’m finding more and more that keeping so many genres in one place just doesn’t make sense. Erotic readers are impatient due to how infrequent my posts are, most ENF fans don’t like the AR twists, and ABDL fans only have so much content compared to all the other story types. Feminization is just tough for me to write, personally, so my apologies to those that are still waiting for more of “The Present.”
Long story short, I want to simplify things for all of you while still writing all the stuff I want to write. My plan is to split things into what I’m going to vaguely call ‘Story’ vs. ‘Nudity.’ Not the most eloquent terms of division; my apologies. Essentially, stories that are less sexual in nature (AR, ABDL, Feminization) will remain on this site. And content that has more room for lack of clothes (ENF, Erotica) will be moving to the new one. The weekly uploads on each will slightly decrease, but the trade off will be having more of what you want to see when you check the website you prefer.
Now, what does this mean for your Patreon?
Glad you asked. For the moment, nothing. My upload schedule will remain the same, and I will continue rotating stories in line with the way Tier 2 patrons vote every month. When the new website launches, those patrons will have the opportunity to vote for Story Focus on both sites during the process of transitioning things over. And, finally, all the ongoing stories on my current Patreon will stay where they are. During this time, I’ll be starting up a second Patreon and spending the next couple months writing on there without actually sharing the link with anybody. That way, when I eventually release it, anyone interested in subscribing will have some story parts to read.
Lady Lucia, is this a ploy to double your pledges?
Definitely not! While the goal is still to eventually be a full-time writer, I’m not looking for charity. If half my Patreon content doesn’t interest you, it’s not exactly an ideal subscription. While I always appreciate the support, I do want to make sure you get the most of it. I’m making the assumption that the majority of my readers will pick one or the other, as this split I’m making is fairly clean. And, if anyone out there happens to love ALL my writing, then I encourage you to pivot between subscriptions every month or two and do a little binge reading for the weeks you were checking out the other side of things.
Hmm, but what about your Patreon goals?
This is the trickiest spot for me. The good news is, there’s a chance we’ll at least reach the ‘Short Story’ goal by the end of the year. As for the ‘Quarter Time Writer’ goal, perhaps I’ll split that up between my two accounts. Whatever brings in the most support is what will get a higher word count. I don’t think I’m going to constantly add things up between the two, as that will get confusing for new readers. Stay tuned! These are details I’ll have to navigate when the time comes. In the meantime, I’d welcome any input.
Is there anything else you’d like to interview yourself about?
Nope, that should do it! Let’s move on to check on Patreon goals, upcoming story posts, and announcements!
PATREON GOALS (Check out my October update for the explanations of each.)
Quarter-Time Writer:
Current: $401/month
Pledge Goal: $1000/month
New Short Story:
Current: 67 Patrons
Pledge Goal: 100 Patrons
UPCOMING POSTS
11/03: The Prefect (Forum)
11/05: The Road Trip (Patreon)
11/08: The Faire
11/08: The Teaching Assistant (Patreon)
11/12: The Road Trip (Patreon)
11/14: The Prefect (Forum)
11/15: The Housekeeper
11/22: The Faire
12/01: The Step-Sister
As always, these are only the parts that are set in stone. The Story Focus vote called for more of ‘The Prefect’ and ‘The Road Trip,’ a third tier patron asked for more of ‘The Faire,’ and the other titles above are mostly for Patreon stories and then chapters that have consistent release dates. Everything else will be rotated like usual, and I’ll also be launching the other website in a week or two. That will affect a lot of things, so I don’t want to put up more dates than are already listed until after the split.
SITE ADDITIONS
Acknowledgements Page:
You’ll find the link at the top of my website, which will take you to a page where I recognize all my patrons. Thank you so much for the support, everyone! A few notes—
One: I went with whatever username shows up on Patreon for everyone. If there’s something you’d prefer to be called, or if I messed up the spelling somehow, please let me know.
Two: The Acknowledgements page only lists those that are currently still subscribed. While I appreciate those new readers that pop in for a single month to check me out, it’s a huge time sink to switch names in and out for fluctuating subscriptions. I’d rather use that time to write!
Three: For those that told me they’d prefer to remain anonymous, I’ve shortened your names to vague acronyms. I can do the same for anyone else who prefers this.
Chapter Indexes:
I’ve heard from several readers that my Patreon is a pain to scroll through. I completely agree. So far, I’ve combated the format by combining parts every now and then, but I finally have a better fix for everyone—thank you so much to patron Cassander for the suggestion. If you go to my site’s “Exclusive Content” section, you’ll find my current Patreon stories listed there. More importantly, I’ll be linking to each part so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of hunting for the older parts.
I’m also planning on doing this on the front page of my website when I find the time, so it’s easier to visit sections you want to reread without having to hunt through all the ongoing story parts.
As always, I encourage all of you to send your feedback and ideas! This is all still fairly new to me, and I’ll do whatever I can to make my website and stories easier for everyone to navigate.
ARTWORK
TBD. There’s only so much time in the day, and everything above has captured my attention for the time being. And, of course, writing!
CONCLUSION
Woof. I know, that was as lot. But all good information, right?? I hope so!
Thanks, everyone.
