As I mentioned in my last post, I'm doing the final edits to Good Girl Gone Bad. I'm about 50% through with it, but what has slowed me down is I have also been creating rendered 3D images for the story.
Lapdancing Girlfriend Ch. 06 will be coming in late April/early May once I'm done with Good Girl.
There has been some push to "publish" my stories...not just posting to Literotica, but actually posting the stories for people to purchase through an e-reader or PDF file. I know an up-and-coming Tier 7 Patreon patron is going to pledge for a couple months to rewrite a publishable version of Lapdancing Girlfriend (or fund another story to be published, still working out the details), so it's definitely on the horizon.
Right now I'm simply working out the specifics, so if anybody has any experience with self-publishing (whether it be images or stories or whatever) their works, please drop me an e-mail! I have been leery of it mainly because it is something new and something I know NOTHING about, LOL...so any advice would be appreciated.
The question is whether I should post Good Girl Gone Bad on Literotica or not before I publish (text version only). Right now, it is a "Patreon exclusive" in that only Patreon subscribers (Tier 2 and above, soon to be Tier 1!) could access it. It has gotten positive responses from my Patreon Patrons (thank you!) but curious what people thing if I start self-publishing. For Good Girl I would post both a text-only and an illustrated version (text version cheaper of course). If I post it on Literotica, it would probably be the illustrated version only, although several authors have posted their works on Literotica and then self-published the same works, I feel what was offered for free should remain so...
So give me your thoughts, opinions, and advice!
Hard to say, I'd love to read it. However, an illustrated version wouldn't be a bad idea. Again, getting paid for your extra time to illustrate makes sense. Sorry, I'm not being helpful...:(
ReplyDeleteLOL, no worries hon, I completely understand. I started some research today into self-publishing, and in particular, erotica. Now I'm stoked about doing it...but there's a LOT of work involved.
DeleteI plan on offering both the text-only and illustrated versions separately, so people who want the illustrated after reading the text won't feel screwed over...the quality of the images will hopefully be good enough.
But one thing that I'll have to do is FINISH a series...they said specifically do not publish any series until they are COMPLETE...for the same reasons that people are frustrated with me now with several partial series ;)
My view point is well known to you, so for the benefit of your other readers. I do pay to download stories from a couple different web pages, Very few of the other erotica authors stories can compare to your stories ( ie. Lapdancer ) I will be happy to pay to read your plan text or even more for your illustrate stories.
ReplyDeleteYup, sent you an e-mail just now about it, LOL! ;)
