Bad News and Other Business...
🕑 Added 2026-02-07 20:00:13 +0000 UTCHello everyone. Well, let's rip the band-aid off. This month, I'm going to raise my monthly rate from seven dollars to twelve dollars.
It may be that for some of you, this will be too much and it's time to go elsewhere. If so, I'm saddened, but I will respect that decision.
I hope that for most of you, you'll decide that the talent, love and commitment I have shown you, the discipline of weekly postings, and the effort to keep things fresh, are all worth it.
I counted them up. I am currently at 67 chapters, with almost half of that being a monster of a story, and a bunch of single chapter or short stories of three to eight chapters, some completed, some ongoing, as well as personal meanderings and prospective ideas. That's well over 600,000 words. And I like to think that there are a lot of induced orgasms and erotic highs in those words. I feel that I've earned my place and shown my commitment.
Along the way, there have been ups and downs. I was in a disabling car accident which slowed me down. And then someone came back into my life who was very distracting, and I seem to have acquired a daughter. It hasn't been easy, but I've kept up the pace.
You may have noticed that I've set up a new series of Collections - the Depravity series. What I was feeling and finding, both on Literotica and here is that Slipping into Depravity (on Literotica) and Kayley and Sam (here) (same series), as it passed 25 to 38 chapters was just getting to massive to navigate. I feel that people were getting lost. So I've created a series of new collections breaking Kayley and Sam into smaller sub-collections "Men's Room Slut" "Cuckold Seduction" etc. I'm hoping that maybe this will help new readers navigate around. Opening up a collection with eight to ten chapters is (hopefully) a lot less intimidating than looking at thirty or forty and thinking 'should I even bother?'
I am very open, by the way, for any feedback or suggestions as to how I can make this Patreon page user friendly and easy to navigate, a pleasure to use. Looking around, I see some other people doing things, and they probably started the way I did... just stumbling forwards. But now they're thirty or forty chapters, and its a pain in the ass to navigate or find your way around. That's a problem. I want anyone who reads to have a great time, to find what they want easily, to find exploring rewarding. So... open to suggestions and ideas!
I'll be honest, I don't know how long I can carry this weekly pace. At some point it's going to catch up to me, and I'll have to go biweekly or less. I promise to never go less than monthly. And I promise to keep in touch with my audience. I don't want to be a creator who vanishes, leaving people in the lurch And I definitely promise never to phone it in - I want to be sexy, kinky, quirky and funny all the way.
I think at this point in my writing, I have enough confidence that I need to start reaching out to market and marketplace. I have a hundred subscribers. What should I be doing to build that audience? I believe I've proven myself in the consistency and quality. So what next? I know that some of you have already offered thoughts and ideas. I invite discussion. For instance, what is this thing called Discord, and how do I get on it, lol.
Finally, I want to say: Thank you. Seriously, maybe you're all degenerates and pervs, and sometimes someone crosses a boundary. But you're my degenerates and pervs, my kind of people, and I love you all silly-hard.

Just checking - seems I'll have to shut down the seven days free trial before I can adjust my rates. What this means is that the existing free trials need to expire, but in the meantime, I can't grant new free trials. Sorry guys.
Eve St. Albert
Cool!!!! I will do that!!!

Eve - check out this site also. It may be helpful in spreading your very creative and wonderful art around. https://storiesonline.net/

I don't put it in PDF format. I wonder how that happens? All of it should be readable in the same way. How strange.

I’m ok with the rate increase, but some of your series are in pdf format and the print is small and makes it harder to read, especially on a phone. I am reading one of your series on Literotica Cross Contamination that I am enjoying a lot. You have always put out enough work with great content that I am sure you will continue.

The truth is that it can be very helpful if you occasionally release a file that contains all the chapters in the story so far. Preferably epub

Your price was always low. No issues with the increase at all.
Eve St. Albert
I agree. I want to make things easier to find and navigate.

I love Hannah's work!

I suggest that you reach out to Hannah Baird. She can explain Discord better than Discord itself can. Think of an adult rated Face Book site. That's the way I see Discord.

I'm all for the pay increase if it means you can maintain the quality you've written. I've been subscribed to a few people that end up rinse and repeating, whereas your writing always seems to explore and try new things. I'm hoping you don't run out, so anything to make it easier and more rewarding for you to keep going: I'm on board!

No one wants to pay more money, of course, but for me, your writing is well worth it. I would ask that you provide some kind of guide as to what order the Kayley and Sam collections go in. There have been some prolific Literotica authors where it can be hard to sort out the order of long-running stories.
