Do you love every story you write equally?

Obviously you need to add that secret ingredient, love, to really bring your story to life, but if your works are your children, do you have a secret favorite?

I absolutely do. My favorite ongoing novel gets the least views, maybe because it isn't complete, maybe because it's mostly SFW, but it's the one I have the most fun writing. I generally make my other stories 20-30k words, but I'm willing to write millions of words for my main work.

I've seen people willing to die for their fanfic, but I'll assume you mean the original 😂
Y'all are writing more than one story?
Okay, To be fair, this is easy to say if you have 175k on your one "horny" story that seems to be three books put together 😭 Congrats. I was gonna say that I don't have enough desire to write something so horny for so long, but then I saw your $65/month Patreon. I honestly thought people would get bored of something explicitly NSFW after a while, that they'd always be chasing the next dragon, but you're proof that I was wrong. If I was making nearly a month's income off one work, I probably wouldn't write anything else either. Good job.

No. Some stories are great ideas but are horrible in practice. Many story ideas that I've rushed off to write have died after the 30th page due to poor implementation and planning. The few times it has produced something, I have loved writing it and enjoyed it to the end. Though editing is another story.

That's why I always outline. Even if I start off winging it, I typically outline so I see if the story has anywhere to really land. I wrote 35 chapters once, completely winging it, and then decided to never make that mistake again.

Yes--the complete ones at least. The discarded drafts...
Actually, they have magical seals around them for a reason; I don't want them getting out.

Remember to put something in your will so when you pass, your grandchildren are either obligated to carry on your legacy, or sacrifice your drafts to the nearest volcano. Either one works.

Well, if I did throw them in the volcano, they unleash the most cursed thing all of the realms...!

The answer is yes, but I have different priorities. I prioritize the main series because it's the center of the story's universe.
