What's Next?
For those unaware, I've recently finished the alpha of the final chapter -- which will be finalized by Monday.
So, what comes next?
...More writing!
Just, uh.
Different stories.
Capture Target was fun. A lot of fun. But looking back, its status as a 'first novel' is kinda telling. One day I might go back and rewrite it from scratch, but not for a while.
So, as the header asks: What's next?
Well, a break from posting, for one. Maybe a postmordem, perhaps a character analysis or two for subscribers, but nothing major. Instead, I'll be working on whatever I decide to work on next, with my editor.
Things will be different when it comes out then.
For example, I'm going to explicitly give myself some flex in the schedule. I've realized that I can't guarantee a perfectly stable release schedule; not with my ADHD. I can manage a mostly stable release schedule, and that's what I'll promise.
I'll also probably be starting up a Discord server. And when it's time for the next story to be released, getting a Patreon going.
Things like that. Tightening things up. Making them a bit more professional. I'm also going to be looking at my work flow, and how to improve it.
The easiest example is how far ahead I'm going to be planning, and writing -- instead of going chapter by chapter, I'm going to try to go arc by arc. Getting one arc done and looking it over? Always staying a full arc ahead of whatever's ready to post? I'm not sure, but something like that. Going chapter by chapter created a few messes that I want to avoid.
There will also, most likely, be less sexy stuff.
I know.
Is sad. ):
But not all stories are erotic stories. And while I don't feel like, and I don't want to, shy away from the fact that 'sex happens' and 'porn is fun', the next story won't be 'locked in an eroge, become slut'.
...There will probably still be porn, just, you know.
Not as the 'absolute core' of the work.
...It also won't be from one person talking to the audience.
What specifically I'm going to be writing, I'll inform ya'll later. Probably with a poll to see what people think.
Finally...

ALERT: Subscribers, read below
If you want to subscribe to get to the end of the story real quick, great! Ten bucks and you're set, but don't subscribe regularly.
My schedule is not set yet.
Further, those that are subscribed, now's the time to stop if you're going to; I don't like saying that, I like money, but I like being honest more. Chapters will still be updated for various tiers at the same pace as usual, but there won't be many more things released.
That said, any postmortem, or character study, is going to remain behind a paywall. The postmortem will be available to the public after the last chapter is, but the rest will not be.
I make no promises about when, or even if, those are getting written.
And they'll still be there when I get things started back up.
And finally finally, for those that stuck around...
