Lady Lucia Update (October Edition)

Hello, readers—

A couple announcements for you before we get into the usual calendar and Patreon milestone progress:

New Patreon Tier: For those that have yet to pledge, please go check out the option I just added. If you’re not able to swing $5/month on top of all your other ongoing expenses (trust me, I feel the bills/subscriptions pain), perhaps you can spare $2 for a writer you follow? The new tier is designed just for that; a couple dollars hopefully shouldn’t be a big commitment on the individual level, but that can potentially add up for yours truly if enough people pledge the new minimum amount. Even if you’re more into my website stories, consider it a tip for the writing/editing/upkeep time and my annual platform expenses to keep all this going.

And, for that mere $2, you’ll be able to access my exclusive short stories on Patreon: Find the teasers here. The two current ones are both AR, but I’m planning on pivoting between genres moving forward.

This is also a cheesy way for you all to collectively make me write more short stories as a whole—a bunch of $2 patrons would be an efficient ‘quantity over quality’ tactic to reach the 300 patron goal and beyond.

My Paypal: Speaking of oh so subtly and politely asking for your money, I also have a Paypal account for my writing for those that weren’t aware. Over the last few months, a couple of readers that aren’t into the whole Patreon thing have asked if there was an alternative way to support me, so I figured I’d share the answer with the rest of you as well. There is another way. If you’d like to make a one time donation or an ongoing auto-transfer, but don’t want to do so through Patreon, you’re more than welcome to use Paypal instead. I’ve added the link to my ‘Contact’ page for those that might be interested in something like that!

‘Other Sites’ revamp: I’m halfway done with the project I mentioned last month. While the information on that section of my website is more or less the same, I’m much happier with how it looks now. Next up, I’m planning on linking favorite stories of mine from over the years, as I’m obviously not the only content out there in the genres that I write. Hopefully the works that I compile will give everyone some new writers, websites, and niches to explore.

PATREON MILESTONES

Note: While drafting the above section, I realized it makes sense to start including my Paypal supporters here. So, moving forward, the current Pledge/Patron total on these updates will be slightly higher than what my Patreon shows.

PLEDGE GOALS  Current: $1259

Part-Time Writer: $3000

Publish a new, full-length story.

At least 50K words in length, and posted all at once when we hit this goal. Like the short story(s) from the Patron Goal rewards, this will be a Patreon exclusive story. 

Full-Time Writer: $6000

Additional weekly Patreon story post.

PATRON GOALS  Current: 249 patrons.

Short Story 2: 200 [Completed]

Short Story 3: 300

CONCLUSION

Since it’s October, I’ll put another potential bonus reward out there—if we get to $1500 by the end of the month, OR we reach 300 patrons, I’ll publish a Halloween short story on my Patreon on the 31st. This would be a bonus story, mind you; if the latter goal ends up being the one achieved, I’ll also be posting a regular short story in early November. So, as always, I encourage you to check out my Patreon if you haven’t already. :)

Happy autumn, everyone!

Much love,

Lady Lucia
