Support, early access & contact
The short version: Patreon and Substack are early access. For now, while the series is being written and posted, that's not a paywall - chapters go free everywhere once their early-access window ends.
How chapters work
The main chapters of the flagship series - Jack, Ruby & Mia - go up for paid members on Patreon and Substack first, then get published free everywhere else (this site, Literotica, Inkitt, Reddit, Substack, Wattpad) once that early-access window ends. That's how it works for now, while the series is being written and posted chapter by chapter.
That won't necessarily stay true forever - see if it ever becomes a book below.
What a paid membership is for
Patreon and Substack get you largely the same thing. Pick whichever you already use. On either you get:
- Early access. Chapters go up for paid members first. When a chapter leaves early access, it's published free everywhere.
- Extras. Teasers, story notes, behind-the-scenes, and the occasional unpublished scene.
- A way to support the work. The direct way to fund more writing and keep the series going.
Newsletter
The newsletter is on Substack and doubles as the early access above. A free subscription emails you every chapter as it goes free, no payment involved. A paid one adds the early access. No email is collected by this site - the form below loads directly from Substack (see privacy).
Prefer no email at all? Point any RSS reader at /rss.xml for new chapters as they land here, free, no subscription needed.
If it ever becomes a book
Nothing is decided, but if this becomes a book, it'll likely be revised and expanded - possibly with more chapters or real changes to what's here now. Platforms like Amazon require a book's chapters not to be freely available elsewhere, so the versions posted here and on other sites would probably need to come down at that point. Don't treat today's free chapters as a permanent archive.
