Posing the question. "The Watchers" - A New Crowdfunding Experiment
Added 2025-01-26 02:17:33 +0000 UTCDear Supporters,
Thank you so much for your continued support in making and enjoying our comix here.
I want to discuss something important with you. Over the last six months, our site has struggled with low signup rates, but I am deeply grateful for those of you who have remained with us, and for those of you who have joined up and helped us this month with your new support. Your dedication allows us to produce comix that, I hope, bring you both joy, laughes and hopefully erotic fuzzy-tingle times.
We've encountered some limitations with Patreon, where some of our content isn't permitted, and there's a demand for more content each month than we can currently offer. To address these challenges, I'm excited to discuss with you guys an experimental crowdfunding campaign for a new 25-page comic titled "The Watchers." This project revisits an earlier concept by Pernalong, "The Hecklers," but with new art by Boccaccio. "The Watchers" is a sissy cuckold comic that, if funded, could be completed within 30 days of meeting its financial goal.
This crowdfunding effort would be separate from our Patreon activities, serving as a test to see if this model could be a viable alternative or supplement, especially given the constant evolution of platform policies. While I'm not currently planning to shift away from Patreon due to minor censorship issues, understanding our options is crucial.
I'm keen to hear your thoughts on the idea of "speed funding" specific projects like "The Watchers," where funds are raised quickly to accelerate production. Remember, many crowdfunding platforms only charge your card once the funding goal is achieved. I would probably try doing it at Crowdfundr.com which is a secure US based company.
Something like this would help so that I won't care if the work is leaked because the goal will have been met.
To gauge interest, I've set up a poll to see how many of you think this is a good idea and would be interested in supporting if I went this route. Please take a moment to vote and please share your feedback on this initiative. Your input is invaluable as we explore new ways to bring our creative visions to life.
Best regards,
Devin Dickie & Creative Team

Too late to the poll but I would have voted no only because the specific artist’s work isn’t for my taste. I respect them and love that they have lots of fans, the style just isn’t for me

Sometimes, there's 15 pages of story build up for maybe 4 pages of real sex. Also you don't want that balence to go too far the other way either as the story adds to how hot the sex can get.

2025-01-26 22:38:18 +0000 UTCI am undecided at first glance; I like the idea of speed funding and complete comic within 30days. On the other hand, there is the ‘all eggs in one basket’ risk - what if the comic doesn’t quite hit my buttons? The current Patreon is slower comic development but so many on the go at the same time there are always some I love.

2025-01-26 16:25:04 +0000 UTCI would honestly prefer an opt in option like that instead of this site. Currently it's a mixed bag on if I really enjoy the content. That's not to say I absolutely don't enjoy any singular piece, but I'm definitely more interested in specific fetishes/content. To put it simply, would fund a comic I'm interested in for more than a site (let's say lustomic) would make you pay for it, just for the specific content, over paying a subscription here for 60-70% content I'm truly interested in.

2025-01-26 03:39:02 +0000 UTCI’d love to see more content that is more graphic or a different kink (like dominant girls or lesbians dominating straight women or more hardcore Bdsm) but the idea of using any American based platform right now with the way there government is acting scares the shit out of me as x has shutdown all of its pages that I like and has banned me twice the second time I only started searching for my favorite pages and started following the ones I could find when I got banned again So if you used a platform from another country maybe I’d be interested but not if you’re using an American platform
