Seeking Advice

Hey everyone.

Sorry not another chapter this time, just a quick poll. Though to make up for it I'll be writing and posting another chapter this week (A Family Dinner Pt.2).

So some of you know that I am planning on furthering my higher education, however some things came up and I am having to postpone that since I do not want to take a loan since the student loan forgiveness program in my country might change inthe next few years.

I don't want to bring politics into this, it is my opinion that people of any political alignment should be able to enjoy my stories and I will delete any comments that try to bring politics into the discussion. Please do not make me do it. This is just some third-rate creator reaching out to make sure his audience is comfortable.

I have seen that other writers have set up Patreons and other means of donations for people who want to support their work. I did set one up, but I am on the edge of taking it down. I know this will probably be a turn off for most folks but please hear me out.

I am not saying that I will stop updating on here weekly unless folks donate, this is one of the ways I get to relax and creativity let the stress of the week out. But it would be nice to have like $10 to just buy some tea or something, since I am in the middle of shifting my budget.

I love the community we've built here and I don't want to come across as an arrogant greedy jerk or anything. If y'all don't think it's a good idea, I'll take it down as soon as the poll ends. I care more about not alienating you all and continuing to share the story you like to read and I like to write.

If you guys are fine with it I probably won't even mention it most of the time, at most once every ten chapters, if that, cause I use the tts feature on this platform and it feels like an annoying ad at the beginning/end of every chapter at times.

It, and I wish I could underline this, it would be completely optional. I Hate paywalls and my works will always be free to the best of my ability. There are only two things on the page at the moment, one is a membership for $1 which would allow you to see any 18+ content I might make in the future cause I am uncomfortable thinking a kid might read one of my fics and unexpectedly find a lemon (It happened to me at 16 and I will not perpetuate it). The other is a cheap commission for non-cannon side stories/one-shots for if people want me to write things like "but can x beat Goku tho?" I'll probably take the second one down and just let folks write their ideas in the comments or send me a message and if it seems funny enough and I have time I'll write it.

This poll will be up until December 15th, 2024, please share your thoughts, even if you just picked up the story recently. Advice is welcome as always, as is feedback both positive and negative.

Thank you.
