A little something different.
🕑 Added 2025-04-15 17:04:21 +0000 UTCHello all,
As I'm sure you've noticed, this month I haven't been putting out my regular polls. This was an intentional choice, as I've been thinking about changing some things up for a while, and I wanted to get some feedback!
I've been doing this for 5 years now, and I've always been evolving and changing this page to make it more streamlined, and higher value for you guys - I see this ongoing process as a way to improve and grow.
- The Changes
To make a long story short: I am thinking about phasing out a poll-based model, and switching to planning in advance, so I can execute more unique content.
I'd still be posting a lot of the same type of content (POVS, Teases, stories), but with less restrictions on my ability to change it up! That means less time waiting on polls, more time making more content.
It would also mean more editing time for lengthier projects like collabs or soundscapes.
I've even thought about making multi-part stories or gooning videos.
See this month as a trial period for that!
(If you want to read a lengthy rationale, here's the breakdown below.)
- Rationale:
The thing I have loved about putting out polls is that I have an opportunity to hear from each and every one of you about the type of stuff you want to see. It's helped me dial in the content to just what you are all interested in, and keep it really tight in that way.
However, there are some drawbacks.
Namely, I do feel that, at times, it can be creatively stifling.
Sometimes when you put out a specific kind of content, and people like it, that's what they tend to gravitate towards and expect in the future. Those types of stories also tend to be what they vote for. And while I love delivering what you guys all want, I also feel as though I could be doing more creative and surprising stuff in the content if I could plan it out myself.
For example, you could get some more unique, one-of-a-kind projects that reflect what I'm passionate about. "Spoiling of the Male Form", "Jockboys Blow Up", or "The Fattening Room" were born out of that outside-the-box creativity, and I'd love to make more things like that. Stories like "Camp Gainalot" also fall into this category.
I feel that if I could have a little more creative control, I could not only deliver more unique content, but also plan out in advance. This would mean shorter delays in content creation throughout the month, and more consistency with posting.
Because I wouldn't have to wait for poll results to post and get the green-light, and I could feasibly plan months in advance and prepare more in-depth, and take my time on higher-quality content.
-----------------------
Of course, I wanted to get your feedback and see what you all thought about this, as it would mean a restructure of my offerings on the tiers.
So please, let me know what you all think!

I’m glad you’re gonna be more experimental, I LOVED “the fattening room” and “spoiling the male form” but I wonder if your ever gonna do commissions in the future? I know you only did it like once before and I’m sure it takes a long time especially considering you plan content months in advance but I would love it if you did for higher tier patrons. If you can’t then I understand!best wishes!

I think at the end of the day, it’s like you said. When you let your creativity run free, we got masterpieces like “The Fattening Room” and “Spoiling the male form”. Do it. Go for it. You’re brilliant and will continue to be brilliant!
