Vibe check poll

With Alfie finally in rearview mirror, a new era of my career and this patreon is upon us!

Before I discovered how much I love writing, and before my hand injury, my plans for after Alfie were simple: quit drawing porn and focus on some sort of long form SFW webcomic. But, rejoice! I can't physically draw long comics anymore, and writing is so time efficient (compared to comics) that I can easily just write a webnovel on the side to satisfy my serious storytelling desires.

More on the webnovel later this year. For now let's focus on the porn! This patreon had always been a balance between Alfie and whatever other wacky project I had going. Now that the rat is dead, the wacky projects is all that remains and I want your help deciding on what to focus next. I have some of my own ides, of course, but input is always welcome.

The big question is: are you, the audience, more interested in projects involving audience participation or me just doing my own thing?

The upside of audience participation is, well, you're the audience and you get to participate. Pretty simple. For me it's interesting to try to work within limitations set by votes or random chance. Restrictions breed creativity. The downside is the audience driven stories tend to be shallower and less focused as well as less varied.

Doing my own stories appeal to me for obvious reasons. They tend to be more focused and purposeful. But, also sometimes they get weird. I might get a bug up my ass about a niche fetish or story and just keep going at it for weeks/months. I love it, but I appreciate that not everybody would.

Even if you prefer me doing my own thing, I would also like to get your opinions on the specific forms of audience participation we've done so far:

Patron idea submissions. 8$ patrons can post their idea for an illustration (within certain guidelines) and others vote for which one gets made.

Vote driven illustration series: A series of illustrations, with a vote inbetween each one deciding on the continuation.

Vote driven stories: Same as above, but focusing more on the accompanying short story chapter.

Waifu Royale/Grimlewd: I draw SFW pinups of various sexy characters and you vote on which one gets a NSFW follow up, as well as the nature of it.

Also, I'd like to know how many of you care about my recent writing efforts. To be precise, any short or long stories I posted on this patreon or on ao3. I am not stopping either way, but I would like to know.

This poll is not going to be binding in any way. I just want to feel the general ways the audience bends nowadays. If you feel like I should just do whatever I want, I appreciate it, but just let me know what you like. Multi-choice is enabled so please just select whichever options you like.

As a side note, there still a couple of projects I need to wrap up as well as some vote winners I never got around to finishing. I'll get to those in the next couple of months.

Probs too late but for some of us who draw casually id love to see progress pics about your lineart and how you make decisions about shapes and perspective etc. Dw not here to become a Web comic artist lol I just love your style

Honestly, whatever you end up doing, whether we can vote or whether it's all just you freestyling whatever comes to mind -- as long as it's enjoyable, hell yeah.

I’ll Never Forgive You is some of the best stuff I’ve read in some time. It awaits lights up my days to see a new chapter of my disasters came out

So far, I've had no reason to complain about anything that was all yours. :-)

Jay · March 22, 2026

Really enjoy your group & public/exhibitionist pieces, both the artwork & stories. Things like the Team Bonding short story (My Favorite), and group sex / party sex pieces are fantastic. Whatever gets more of that, I'm game

G
Generic · March 22, 2026

As long as it is NSFW, I am all for it. I love your art style and your written works too. Always impressed with your engagement with fans on Patreon, so that is cool, but keep on doing your thing.

You are the GOAT. Do what makes you happy, but no one would complain about seeing any ideas you ever put out

M
Malcolm Ryan · March 21, 2026

I think your own ideas, like GrimLewd or Journals of the Hunter, are so much more interesting than anything I as an audience member could come up with.

And watch a documentary movie called "Baraka" 8-]]

asaoka · March 21, 2026

I'm an edge-case on the writing: I want you to continue. But I don't read it in depth because I'm writing a story myself. If I'm allowed an opinion then here it is: Write less about sex, and more about the ideal of love, where people refuse to let the outer world get inside the relationship and drag them down.. Read an essay by Tolkien titled "On Fairy-Stories", then shift your writing so that it's based on Imagination and not on Drama. Make your characters kinder and healthier. Fire up your imagination with some of the mind boggling photos that people take of astonishingly beautiful places in this world. The Ideal comes to life thru Art. Written, drawn, or both, you have the skills.

B
Borch3Kavky · March 21, 2026

What I think would be interesting : 1.You set limitst on idea submisions. 2.Audience submits their ideas. 3. You pick one to do from them.

T
TPRJones · March 21, 2026

Which option is the one to pick to vote for weird niche ass bugs?

D
Dave Reichlin · March 20, 2026

I'm always about the author doing their own thing. But I do appreciate my opinions being heard and considered. It's nice to be acknowledged by an author you follow.

D
Dominic Corbin · March 20, 2026

So I voted all the options except prefer audience, and don't like writing. Like others I'm down for whatever is best for you. The actual nuance of my preference is long form driven by you, maybe spiced with some polls here or there if you wanted, and occasional short more-audience driven ideas. I love the writing, and hope for as much illustration as you can do without hurting yourself. I honestly love almost everything of yours I've ever seen, and the small amount that didn't grab me was pictures involving two dudes. I'm not close minded enough to much care that once in a while you cater to a portion of your audience that I don't share preferences with. So after all that do whatever you want, and I'll stick around to eagerly see the next thing.

P
Presley Mercer · March 20, 2026

I am for whatever

J
JasonAW3 · March 20, 2026

To be honest, there might be programs available that could use your artwork as a template, and be able to generatecomplete comics based on scene descriptions, where you could add word balloons, sound effects, etc, without overstressing your injuries.

t
t'Sade · March 20, 2026

I'm all for whatever ticks your buttons. I enjoy the writing a lot and also your images, so I'm going to be happy. I also like more in depth characters, so your projects there too.

R
RD · March 20, 2026

I would personally much rather see your personally inspired work than whatever diluted version of consensus us degenerates produce. I didn't subscribe because I wanted my voice to be heard, I subscribed because I thought your voice was worth listening to. All that aside, I do think an occasional vote is alright if you're feeling in a rut and want a change of pace.

C
Call Me ET · March 20, 2026

I enjoy the writing, and any projects of yours featuring intersex women or effeminate men are always a win in my book. However, I do hope the writing doesn't take priority over the art itself. I understand your medical situation preventing any major art projects, but the main reason I am on this patreon is because of the art itself. My dream is to hope to commission you in the future, but I don't think that'll ever be likely to happen. Still, I'll support you with whatever you decide to do!

W
Wes Whitson · March 20, 2026

I have loved everything I have seen you produce, I do have a question about one of your other pieces of work if that is ok.

c
crystalmath · March 20, 2026

Grimlewd is by far my favorite work of yours. It's the reason I originally started a subscription, though I was reading Alfie a long time before. A comment on voter driven content: I'm all for women with dicks. Or effeminate men. I like everything. But, when given the option, those are always the majority vote choice. I don't always even read all the options and vote anymore because my choice has never won. I would really like to see more variety of character physical characteristics. (I want some Wolke so bad) Edit, adding one more thought: I would judge myself medium to well traveled on the selection of english language web-comics, porn or otherwise. Your drawing, writing, storytelling and world building is phenomenal. There is nothing else out there quite like Grimlewd, which I think is reflected in the commentary here. It's unique and exciting. Alfie and The Invitation made me feel the same way. You are a great artist and I will enjoy whatever you do because you were the creator.

o
odd-rose · March 20, 2026

TLDR: please consider releasing a physical copy of Alfie for purchase 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕 I’ve enjoyed Alfie for a long time and I’ve liked pretty much all of your illustrations and web comics over the years. I haven’t had time to sit and read your short stories but the writing from your webcomics has always been enjoyable. I think I’ll like and support whatever you do for as long as I can.

S
SofLLit · May 25, 2026

Yes, please 🙏

F
Fox · March 20, 2026

I love it when you post a few options for things that are already your idea, and the patrons vote on their favorites for what you felt good about doing, anyway. If I had to go all the way to one end of the spectrum or the other, I would much rather see you work on what you feel excited about instead of just taking ideas from us without feeling good about it.

S
SavageBlight · March 20, 2026

Grimlewd is my favorite project you've done

C
Copples · March 20, 2026

Im a little late to the bandwagon on patreon, ive been a criminal lurker when it comes to support. I absolutely cannot get enough of your Illustrations or your art style. Its so well paired with your writting! I think, do your own thing! I love the NSFW, but I hope you dont burn out on it.

B
Basket Face · March 20, 2026

IWNFY is one of my favorite things ever! Your writing is very good and very hot. If you wrote short fiction in the grim lewd I would totally be down. I’ve also really enjoyed all your other writing. I have been convinced that whatever you do will be amazing, and I am here for that. (Also the next chapter of IWNFY it’s really really really really really good!!)

J
Jim Jackson · March 20, 2026

I'm a big fan of your work. I left for a little while but came back when I saw Alfie was finished. I LOVE your Grimlewd universe. I been describing it to my friends : "Imagine earth in the dark ages, Galactus arrives and dies on earth. Galactus' corpse generates all manner of magic and supernatural occurrences/ power and fundamentally alters the course of human evolution and society." The porn is just a fun bonus for me.

v
verne · March 20, 2026

Grimlewd is fantastic! It's not the waifu royale aspect I love, but the lore and the world and the storytelling - it is top-tier porn-with-plot and I just want to know so much more!

H
Hypixion · March 20, 2026

I am here for your vision, not the audiences visions.

A
Accursed · March 20, 2026

Im loving the writing and find the Grimlewd setting very compelling. If we could vote on the setting of a long form story Grimlewd would be mine. But, while on the topics of short stories and one off illustrations, I love any and all work that comes our way, though I would say idea submission might be my favorite. I really enjoyed coming up with ideas and trying to compose them well enough draw the interest of this little community. Not to mention reading through everyone else's ideas was always a sweet treat. In short, I'm excited to see where your creativity guides you with the long form stories, but would still like to be able to submit ideas every now and again.

M
Marie · March 20, 2026

Oh, I really like the writing. Your art is amazing, I love it and that's why I started here, but I'm more impressed with your writing tone and style. It's been a pleasant surprise and I look forward to whatever else you've got in your noggin.

A
Adam Leech · March 20, 2026

The "What would you like to see" things are nice, but I would rather get a more coherent story.

s
slimequeensasha · March 20, 2026

i like a mix of all of the above i’d would keep myself and the audience guess and i would be nice to get some surprises every now and again from you oh what ideas you have in your mind

P
PhareSeer · March 20, 2026

It feels like a mix of your own projects and audience decided ones would work out really well.

S
Samaron · March 20, 2026

Kinda mix for writing, audience participate and the grimlewd. I do love more for world building/background art with how you drew the settings for alfie and grimlewd. Forgive me if making other artists, been getting into rapscallion Vice & Violence setting and also Jay Naylor fantasy world with the lore both of them have. So be cool to see alfie workd still expanded on lore both nsfw and sfw.

H
Hedgebug · March 20, 2026

I like your writing, but I rarely have the time to read and enjoy it. I prefer your art, and I'm not picky about where your inspiration comes from or even the rate at which you produce. Grimlewd was really great for me because it included small chunks of writing that I could reasonably read, and I liked that the art accompanied it. I also would prefer that you slow your roll a bit and avoid burnout and injury more seriously. I really don't like the feeling that the fun content I enjoy is coming at the cost of the artist's physical and mental health, which is why I'm here paying for it on Patreon in the first place. Take care of yourself and find a sustainable pace, and that probably means changing what you do regularly.

theycallmemiyagi · March 20, 2026

I love voting on stuff, and I also love it when you decide what to do, despite what the vote says.

P
Pigeon · March 20, 2026

You're a good writer but I'm mostly here for the art

C
Champarti · March 20, 2026

I'm a basic bitch: I like it all. Keep it up, I'll keep coming back. Your niche interests have never been a problem for me. I like your sapphic content the most, but I became a fan of yours from My Debut and Xenobiology. So I'm good with whatever! Your writing in particular has been great. IWNFY is insanely good smut. As are the two stories you did about the Puazi. More is good there too!

D
Decoy · March 20, 2026

Any chance for a print of the full Alfie collection?

j
jpscralatchtica · March 20, 2026

Waifus!

V
VanDiagram · March 20, 2026

I like it all, especially the femboys, so I wouldn't mind seeing a rotation, but in the end, your hand and happiness doing this matters most.

Mr. Jones 2U · March 20, 2026

A return of Puazi content would be cool

D
Dollydon · March 20, 2026

“More on the web novel later this year.” Is IWNFY on hiatus? Also do whatever you want it’s more fun seeing what an artists brain makes and thinks up

F
Funduffy900 · March 20, 2026

Your writing has low key gotten me reading again. I would absolutely love to read something long form of yours... possibly GrimLewd?

N
Niamh Ó hArt · March 20, 2026

I prefer well thought-out stories. I cannot express how many friendships of mine online have started with talking about your earlier work (especially The Invitation). Maybe some of your own projects interspersed with something like waifu royale to keep engagement up?

A
Anor Mal Scarecrow · March 20, 2026

I love IWNFY and want more toxic Yuri porn

S
Sogni Scuri · March 20, 2026

I joined primarily for Grimlewd. The variety is nice, but I hope to see more of that in particular. Great setting for some stories, as others have noted. I also remember some Victorian ladies and some fan art of popular characters you did years ago — would love to see more of those as well.

J
Jordi · March 20, 2026

I love seeing what you come with on your own, including the stories which have been truly fantastic.

a
acalabash · March 20, 2026

Man I wholeheartedly support the writing part. I was surprised myself, thinking you're mainly an artist, but your fiction is awesome. Also, pretty please, finish "I will never forgive you". We're few, but we need it!

D
Drivestort · March 20, 2026

GrimLewd is fantastic and I need more of it. Maybe even some loose rules for people to roleplay with it.

T
Tulok · March 20, 2026

Whatever's best for your hand dude, as long as you're comfy and happy and keep the waifus coming up, even if we get content not as often as before

DiomedesRex · March 20, 2026

I'm here for halflings and not-draenei

C
Clooney · March 20, 2026

I subscribed to this patreon because I liked what you were already doing, not because I liked what other people voted on what they wanted you to do. Ultimately I'd rather see you doing what makes you passionate.

M
Momoipoi · March 20, 2026

I'm more interested in seeing you pursue your own ideas, but letting the audience rein you in a bit if you're sticking to one niche too much... than seeing the audience submit all the ideas, and you pick from them. However, I can imagine that you may need some extra ideas supplied at times, and that you may occasionally want to be a bit limited in order to foster new creativity. A nuanced, not entirely committal answer from yours truly!

s
stephen guerry · March 20, 2026

Honestly, I think a story written in the GrimLewd world has a FUCK load of potential and that world has some absolutely goregous visuals associated with it that look phenomenal, NSFW or not

R
RamNovember · March 20, 2026

I have been loving your written stories of late! I would love to see a bit more illustration included in them. You’ve said that too complicated to draw (or something like that) but the Puazi world is still one of my favorite things you’ve created. I would love to see that come back, in any form, if you’re inspired to do so.

W
WizardGrl · March 20, 2026

oh god yes all that stuff was so cool

K
KarinCorrupted · March 20, 2026

I think I prefer to follow a more focus project as mainline but I also like Patreon Idea Submission sparled in a bit. Serve as bit refresher/change of pace. I loved Grimlewd and the worldbuilding that came with it, felt very compelling and want to know more about it and explore it more (and very inspiring for my own TTRPG). On Waifu Royale it's much more dependant on the result of polls/character and less certain how I feel about it as some felt repetitive. On writing I like it a lot in concept and liked the art who came up from it but didn't had the time to properly read it.

Z
Zackery Newman · March 20, 2026

I think an audience vote driven story would be super fun for a change. I love the waifu royal

W
WriterPlaysMTG · March 20, 2026

I really like the stuff you come up with, I feel like stuff like grim lewd and Allie have such great imagery and art that honestly I’m not just here for the smut, I’m here for the genuinely great art you make, lik you’re such a fantastic artist. I’m here for what ever ride you decide to take people on.

F
FoolyMagooly · March 20, 2026

I actually really enjoyed GrimLewd. I thought the characters and worldbuilding were really fascinating.

z
z · March 20, 2026

Everything would be nice, but if I had to choose, it would be between WaifuRoyale/GrimLewd and longer form drawn and written erotica. Still, everything has been great, keep up the awesome work.

J
Jason D Fluffer · March 20, 2026

I do love your art. But I did join the patreon when you started to write, and i hope to read more of it. Both short and longform.

G
Gr1ff1n_Claw · March 20, 2026

More grimlewd and waifu royale would be great, the former producing some of my favorite works from you!

c
clouds5580 · March 20, 2026

Normally I prefer artist driven content, but there's an idea that's been itching for a while I'd love to suggest in supporter driven content.

M
Mohgreen · March 20, 2026

Needs an All of the Above. But I like the Vote driven option. Patreon inspires topics for 8$ seems like a good idea too. Please God. More Waifu Royal. Grimlewd is fun too tho. Personal request, more shorts on the Xeno storyline.

B
Boss Salvage · March 20, 2026

GrimLewd babyyyyyyyyy by which I mean more of the world building and character development that was baked into it, as well as the lewdity

B
Blip · March 20, 2026

As they say variety is the spice of life. Personally I would like to see your writing with illustrations supplemented by smaller one shots with audience participation. Best of both worlds. However if it is too taxing on your hand then your own personal projects would be my vote. Though there are many of us who hope for another “Invitation” story.

J
Jean Doe · March 20, 2026

Like many others. I will never forgive you is what got me here. I also loved Ryan’s magical night and going raw. I can’t get enough of your writing and while I know long form comics are out I have to shoutout the invitation as being one of the best things I’ve ever read

C
Claire · March 20, 2026

I will never forgive you is what got me to sign up for your patreon in the first place. always down for more writing

Jon · March 20, 2026

As lovely as the audience's ideas probably are, I signed up to follow your (InCase's) work and I'd like to see where your path leads.

carlitox25 · March 20, 2026

I'm here because I love the stuff you do, so I'd rather keep seeing your stuff, instead of having people sway the direction it goes.

J
JP Luna · March 20, 2026

Seconded. Audience participation can be a nice occasional spice, especially for the "restrictions breed creativity" element, but I'd prefer they not be the cart leading the horse.
