Which Stories Are You Reading?
🕑 Added 2025-04-24 13:36:54 +0000 UTCThe below poll is for Doctor and Ascended Patrons, and you can select multiple options for the stories you're reading.
I've mentioned it before, but Patreon doesn't provide statistics on member downloads. I can see when chapters are purchased, but not when subscribers download chapters. While Star Jumper has far fewer readers on public sites, it regularly has more individual chapter purchases than Rogue. I'm just trying to gauge what patrons are reading.
Why?
I'm coming upon somewhat of a culmination point. Rogue Arc 8 is nearly complete, and Arc 8 is a potential endpoint of the story. Star Jumper Season 3 is somewhere between the 1/2 and 2/3 mark. Meteor Freak receives an update this week, and next week marks the end of this season, likely the conclusion of the story, as I have reached the limit of the number of stories I can manage at once. The final part of Soul Taker Book 1 will be posted next week. Then it's editing and releasing it to see how it performs in the broader market. And... I finally finished drafting Wither's rewrite, which will also be going out to market; hopefully, both books will be out during the summer.
Looking forward, I'm wondering where to spend my efforts. Wither and Soul Taker's numbers will be easily telling, the fanfictions less so. Rogue is the most time-consuming story by a large margin, but it's also my favorite to write. However, I'm not seeing significant new readers on the public sites, which makes me think Arc 8 might be the time to start wrapping it up. Which is hard because it's my fav; I have outlines done up to Arc 13, and the Arc 9 preview is already made. But if the story has no traction, and I'm only writing it for me, I can shift it to a much slower update schedule or tie it up.
Plus, summer is coming up. When I go on vacation, I usually don't do serious work and just toss down ideas. Clouded came from that, which went nowhere. But so did Forever Quest, which became the foundation idea for Soul Taker. As well as Season 2 of Star Jumper, and Meteor Freak.
So please, pick out the stories that you're reading. The ones that draw you here and keep you coming back to read. It will give me an idea of where I should focus my attention and efforts.

Star jumper for me

Definitely Rogue and Meteor Freak are my favorites. I'm not big on Star trek so I haven't read Star Jumper.
