   The Astray wasn't a very poseable model, in the end, but it did come with several swords. The design for the two scabbards is super neat

     @DarkestKale I managed to find the Patreon of a guy who's work I enjoyed there easily enough because he has a discrete mention of his other platforms. Idk if that would be pushing the T&Cs there though.

     If you're curious, the guy's fetish was seeing a cock pulse as a guy came in a woman's mouth, so like... almost a default in some porn but not QUITE.

     He tried to get like, hashtags and shit going. I lost track of it all, but I know Brittney Amber was pretty onboard with it (I mean, he paid and she seems like someone who's in tune with memery, so...)

     One day someone's gonna pay me silly money to actually research this kind of shit and it's gonna be hilarious like 'the uptick in Ahegao content was driven by DroolLover420's investment in camgirl coins on MFC in 2018, and...

     > The difficulty, as you've already guessed, is in moving that readership to a paying platform. If the platform you're currently on is Literotica, congratulations, you made the wrong choice - it is by far the hardest platform to leverage an existing readership out of, thanks to Literotica's predatory anti-monetisation policies. All you're going to get out of your readership on Lit is the hope that someone there is going to Google your name and find your shopfront.

     It's interesting how a site that's basically 'plz don't advertise here' is seen as predatory?

     I mean, on one hand yes, they're making money off your content if you're posting there, but on the other hand it's not as though they're publishing your shit, selling it to fuel AI, or making you sign non-compete exclusionary contracts?

     I mean, blah, etc, if someone's doing it full time, then yeah they're gonna be churning a bit.

     It's still interesting to see someone with 110+ titles in their back catalogue, even if they're only in the 8k word range.

     JFC, there's a comment from someone saying they have 2,871 titles in their back catalogue (having said they have been going for over a decade)

     Again, impressive.

     I hadn't specifically thought about commissions in the erotica space, but, sure I'm guessing they're very specific things and quite lucrative.

     I'm also guessing a lot of it is furry porn.

     Heh.

     Well, maybe, though?

     I mean, feet fetish folks used to be the 'are you fucking kidding me?' lucrative market. I know a lot of folks talk big about the furries having DEEP POCKETS for porn/porn art, but...

     That said, I did read of a single dude out there who was straight up commissioning pornstars to do a particular thing in a bid to kickstart his fetish into a genre.

     Heh.

     Super annoyed to see this on the green Portanova, though.

     While I do appreciate seeing cash-money data, I'm very impressed at this person's output, either way:
