The Libido Virus Volumes 1,2, & 3 and a small update
🕑 Added 2023-03-29 16:08:46 +0000 UTCHi all!
One of the drawbacks of basically working in isolation is that I rarely get questioned on why I'm doing something the way I'm doing it. Which often means that I'll just keep doing something the same way for a long time without ever thinking about it.
For example, The Libido Virus series has been one that I never posted to Patreon. Why? No clue. I think people have even asked me about it before and I guess my answer was because that's the way I arbitrarily decided. But that's dumb reasoning. So, here they are. The first twelve stories have been public for a while, but the Volume III has been retail only. There's no changes to the content other than a quick formatting update and a few spelling/word errors I noticed in quick scans. If you haven't read them, enjoy! If you've read all of them, well thanks for doing that, and maybe this will be an easier file to keep track of.
This led me to look at the mess of distribution I've got going on at the moment. I think I want to simplify things a little bit. I'm not going to change the "on the tin" guarantee of two stories a month that's in the patreon description because I like that very low bar. Can't remember the last time I actually only posted two things within a month, but it's still a good baseline. At the same time, keeping track of what is and isn't here or there is more hassle than it should be, so I'm going to soft commit to just putting everything on patreon either with a week's lead time or simultaneously with retail fronts.
I've more or less been doing that for a while now anyway, and this will just settle the question in my brain. The one exception to this will be when something goes to Kindle Unlimited. That agreement requires a certain level of content exclusivity. In those cases, I'll archive the file from patreon and, if I decide to lapse the KU enrollment, bring it back into the patreon at that point.
I'll also take another look through stuff and bring stuff that wasn't put on this feed to it. Probably not going to do that in a hurry though because I'm already behind where I wanted to be with the active writing projects. In the meantime, Happy Reading!
Edit: I forgot to add that this wasn't some self born epiphany despite my asserition in the first paragraph. A patron messaged me the initial question. Thanks to them for bringing it to my attention!
