Since it seems quite literally no one who subscribes to me reads journals anymore (not surprising I suppose since I so rarely do them), I figured a submission post might get more attention.

That said, I will soon be starting a Patreon. Let me explain what this means.

First what it does NOT mean:
I will NOT stop writing for free.
I will NOT stop posting stories to FA and DA.
I will NOT ignore fans who have been waiting patiently for the stories on those sites that are currently incomplete.
And I will NOT stop work on certain stories I still owe to friends who have been extremely patient with me.

Now what it will mean:
I will be forcing myself to write some every day in the hopes of producing stories more often.
I will be generating work that (in time) will be available for everyone to read.
I will be creating stories with more variety and perhaps stranger situations.
And I will be throwing a few additional 'perks' for those who wish to help invest in my creative abilities.

Now, here's what I'm planning:
Presently my current work schedule in real life is difficult, working retail with them already preparing for the 'Back to School' rush in August. So I'm hoping to get roughly one or two stories, around five pages each, done per month. For those who are unaware, my typical style of writing is size-12 Times New Roman font single spaced. Judge for yourself how much that writing generally is.
These stories will be singular and self contained, unless there's an outcry for a sequel. However in addition I will have one ongoing story that will be more involved for everyone. See below.
Currently I am planning on making this a monthly bill, so fans will only pay once a month whatever they feel they can afford. However, if I can meet and/or beat the goal of $800 a month, I will be able to quit my current job. This may upwards of DOUBLE the potential writing I can churn out per month. So bear that in mind, but please only donate what you feel is reasonable and affordable.
Some of you might be asking just WHAT I intend to be writing. Well if you're followers you might now my basic work and get some ideas from that. For those who don't know my work is mostly situated around weight gain stories, but I have experimented with muscle growth, macro growth, and a few others. Those too I'll be working on now and then, with additional subjects such as inflation, transformation, transgender, hyper, micro shrinking, multi, and more.
I will try and make it clear what the GENERAL direction of a story will be and what sort of rating it will have from the start, but these things can evolve with time. However I promise I will ask readers first on a general 'yay' or 'neigh' when it comes to more 'adult' situations should they crop up.

Now I'm sure some of you are curious about what you'll get back from all this. Well the perks are very fluid right now, so let me outline my basic idea and please comment to tell me what you think. As it stands just $1 will get you in and let you watch and read along everything I'm writing. This may be as little as one story at a time or several depending on how creativity strikes me. I will post links to the Google Documents files as they're started.
Now a $5 level things get a bit better. You will be able to comment on everything I write while I'm writing it and your critique and suggestions will help build the stories and make them better. I can't promise I'll use every idea suggested, but I will listen to everything said and see what I can work out.
Things start to take off at a $10 level. Fans will not only be able to suggest whole scenes and may get cameos in stories that require them, but they also get to vote in the ongoing story. Yes, the story that will span several months will be subscriber driven.

Here's the setup:
Four characters will be dropped onto an island in a Survivor style game featuring various forms of expansion with total weight being the deciding factor. Every fan who donates $10 minimum get's one vote per month to add their total pledge to any character, or multiple characters, weight. So, for example, if you donate $20 you get one vote that month, but can give 15 pounds to one character and 5 to another.
Every other month the 'contestants' will compete in a simple event, which again fans can vote on (it will not count as your singular vote for weight gained) to decide who wins. Characters will have stats like Strength, Speed, and Intelligence) that may be hampered or helped by various effects as well. Every vote for the winner will count as another point raised in that stat, so even a weak character may outperform a strong one if they get enough votes. And, whichever character looses the event, they gain 200 additional pounds.
When a character can no longer move their body they will be removed from the island and the fans can vote on a new character to join the remaining members. Now here is where the highest pledge level comes in. Fans who offer $50 a month can suggest a new character to be voted onto the island. Now this does come with a few stipulations.
First off, the suggested characters cannot be OCs. I'm sorry, but to accurately portray them I'd need to know their history, motivation, personality, likes, dislikes, etc. So it would take a lot of research in a very limited time. Second, and I will try to be flexible on this, there are some characters I find... difficult to portray in such situations. Generally this comes down to characters I have a great deal of 'respect' for and have a hard time enjoying the mental spectacle of them expanding. I'm working to overcome this but just know there may be a few characters like that I might need tome time and space to come to grips with using.

For all the TL;DR crowd, here's the basic list.
$1 – Read and enjoy all stories as they're written.
$5 – Read and comment on stories to help make them better.
$10 – Suggest whole scenes and story ideas as well as vote in the ongoing story and add pounds to characters in it.
$50 – suggest new characters to be added to the ongoing story when others are removed.

I have not set up the Patreon yet, but it will be soon. I'll submit another file when it's ready.
And for those of you who can't even afford anything, don't worry. All these stories will be coming to DA and FA eventually when they are complete, but exactly when they arrive may be some time. And my current stories I will not pass by. All this I hope to inspire my writing and get me working on those too.
Even if you can't afford it, please spread the word around. The more who hear about this and can help, the better for everyone.

One final note, I have managed to finally acquire the parts needed for my new computer build which are on the way and will be assembled once they arrive. I will need time to relearn the programs I've been using such as 3DS Max and more, but once I do I may open up for commissions for modeling. I have yet to think of a good price range for these, but we'll see how it goes and how long it takes to learn them.
In the mean time, please, any support you feel you can manage would be greatly appreciated.
