God damn it why does the interesting and weird stuff always lose out to generic gangbang scenes. Democracy is a failed system!
The curse of extreme erotica is that someone's kink is another person's complete turn-off. Any weird thing beyond humiliation and large insertion will make a portion of people nope out. I have a feeling that the votes many people cast is about trying to guess which story will not have what they dislike (ex. pain, orgasms, consent) and so the 'safer' options win out. That said, I have no intention of making this week's story a generic gangbang. But it does put me in a predicament because if I add a special tournament rule where they have to double-up on her urethra, how many people will feel betrayed because they didn't think they were voting for a wrong-hole story. It's easy to paint myself into a corner like this. I welcome any suggestions or further discussion.
I'm a bit concerned you're tying your hands too much then, trying to fill out the most popular prompt and minimising risky potential turn-offs. I guess you can see if certain things make subscribers quit in droves but personally if an author does something that doesn't work for me I just skip it; I don't mind, so long as there's something enticing along sooner or later. I know I went to the trouble of actually paying for your stories because they provide something unique and exhilarating that I just couldn't find anywhere else. I can't speak for the rest of your customers but from that point of view it serves you better to be varied and risky than safe and popular.
I agree with Vinegars take, thou I will have to say. The moment 'consent' is a turn off for your audience, that's the moment you need to verify who your audience is.
It's the same audience that can enjoy a gruesome horror movie without wishing it would happen to real people. Humiliation & free-use are hugely popular and dubious consent is a core part of those kinks.
Oh yeah, I get that noncon and dubcon are both huge fetish genres, but when you reach a point within your audience, where consent is a specific *turn-off*, thats when it gets problematic, from my point of view. Like, you can like dubcon and noncon and think it is *hot*, while also liking consent.
I think your weekly poll system specifically has a major design flaw: imagine your generic options are apple, orange and banana, and the preferences of the audience are split 40/30/30 respectively. Then 'apple' will win *every* poll you run, and you're actually starting to alienate the 60% of your audience that preferred something else! I understand you're trying to find what stories are the most commercially viable but because of this problem I don't think this style of weekly polls are the right tool for that.
It's ultimately up to me to make the story special, though. To not deliver a simple apple but some kind of fruit salad. I consider my brand to be 'extreme'. To some people that means painful amputation. To some it means a horny girl swallowing gallons of semen. To some it means a horse has to be involved. It's not necessarily degrees of extremeness but different branches. My dream is to one day offer several versions of the same story (im thinking: original, futa, loli, horror; something like that) but I won't have the extra time until a goddam daycare spot opens up.
I don't think it is *that* bad. however, I do agree that it is kinda alienating sometimes (Especially because I'm one of those amputation people, though not *painful* amputations).
