PotV Poll - Optional Spicy Scenes
🕑 Added 2025-07-21 20:30:37 +0000 UTCHello, all!
In the previous PotV chapter, I faded-to-black on a scene between Grant and Sykora that involved a lil' bit of leash.
This was out of a concern for pacing and the rate of storytelling. We already had a spicy scene a few chapters ago, and it's a goal of mine to make each of these spicy interlewds matter narratively, as far as revealing something about the protagonists, being a big moment for their relationship, et cetera. Which this scene wouldn't really have been. I'm wary of slowing things down with too much smut, and try to keep myself to two open-door spicy scenes max per volume.
However I do think it would have been kinda fun to see Sykora getting metaphorically and literally dog walked. And judging by the entry surveys on Patreon, you guys are interested in exclusive content.
SO--here is my question to you, noble patrons. Would you be interested in a patreon-exclusive scene expanding on what the Prince and Princess of the Black Pike get up to behind closed doors during their stay on Tamion? This would be canon, but an extra bit that would not appear on the Royal Road or Scribblehub versions of the story. It would be gated behind the Pal patron tier, so any paying member would get it.
It's been a philosophy of mine to keep PotV content time-locked, not payment-locked. In this case, I have the excuse that this scene doesn't really gel with the narrative as-is and wouldn't really be appearing in an edited and finished version of the story because of the aforementioned narrative concerns. But it would be a break from that previous philosophy. With that in mind, I'm opening this poll to the free-tier members as well so that objections can be raised if warranted.
To be clear--if the nos have it, I just won't write this scene and will continue to put that effort toward the rest of the story. There isn't really a version in my mind where the leash scene goes into the public releases; not because it makes me uncomfortable or anything, but because another horny scene just slows the pacing down too much.
Disclaimer: This is a non-binding poll, like all of them. I'm doing it to gauge public reaction, not to land definitively.

As much as i like smut scenes, too many of them really ruin a book for me if it has an actual plot.
