Dissident Love's Patreon, And New Story!

[ScaredSacred]

Probably my personal favorite original hyper setting, we once again join Odella and hir family. Self-appointed defender of the arid wastes known as the Painted Death, Odella is a curandera, one of the nigh-unstoppable witches tasked with shepherding the helpless through this harsh and unforgiving world.

A horde the likes of which no-one has seen for centuries has risen out of the east, marching virtually unchallenged and absorbing every village, town and fortress in their way. Armed to the teeth with the ancient weapons of the People Before, this horde is not just pillaging as it travels... it's recruiting. It's on a mission. It has a destiny.

And leading it, one of the People Before themselves... a human.

Odella is pregnant and mere days from giving birth. Shi dare not touch even the least of hir powers, for fear of harming the kits within hir belly. The horde's brutal announcement has arrived in Bayside, giving an ultimatum: in one week, the citizens of hir city will join with the crusade... or perish.

This is the story that well and truly convinced me that I'm at the mercy of what my brain decides to create. I couldn't have made this story any other way. Half a dozen characters I'd never even dreamed of just flowed out of me and onto the page. I'd seen the ending clearly for more than two years, but how I got there was a journey that surprised even me.

This story is also the official launch of Dissident Love: The Patreon Page. Please click the following link:

I've been at this for almost nine years, and I think it's about time I tried to finally make a go of doing this for a living. Every time something 'interesting' happens at my office, every time I need to pull money from one account to pay a bill in another, every time something in my house breaks and I just have to tell myself I'm going to live without it from now on... every time I wake up and wonder if this is really what my life was supposed to be, it just hardens my resolve to become a professional writer.

If you feel you've ever enjoyed any of my stories, if you feel you've ever gotten good value from my page, then I urge you to help support your friendly neighborhood authors. I'm still holding out to be the first hyper furry mainstream author on Amazon, and in a few months, after I've tested the waters and consulted with my readers, my first published eBook complication will be ready for sale. (Speaking of which, if anyone feels like they know an artist who'd love to do a high-quality book cover, please let me know!)

Transitioning slowly to Patreon, I will be working more with serialized fiction, published in weekly chunks of 3000-5000 words. This will actually be a marked increase in my output (hee hee), as I find working on smaller chunks easier. When something gets as large as Odella (hee hee), and there's so much already written, and so far to go, I find myself daunted to the point of catatonia. But no more!

I will also be publishing for my Patreonians the short scenes I am always coming up with, ranging from G-rated little scenarios that tickle my fancy to the XXX-rated snippets that I don't have the energy to turn into a full story yet.

Thank you for making it this far, Dear Reader.

I truly am made of love.


Author's Note: This story is only three pages shy of being as long as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. If that doesn't convince you to toss a twoonie my way, then I don't know what will.
