thanks for the reply @Personalias I launched my patreon yesterday from my deviantart, but honestly deviantart by itself doesn't make me happy, I want to write full length stories, I believe I'm talented, I've been writing fanfiction and original content ever since I was 12, I just never made money off it because copyright and fanfiction can't be monetized. So now I'm trying to make good writing that is completely original. I've been trying to figure out how to promote my deviantart, which is why I mentioned it in forums and posts

Hi, I don't typically use forums like this but to give some background: I'm a writer, I love writing and I love abdl and erotica fiction. And because of this I want to make writing abdl erotica a side-career (getting paid to do what I love), while I post alot of my stuff for free, I understand that because of finite hours in the day the more income I can make with this, that means less hours and more time I can dedicate to my writing. Currently I'm working on a long-form story (around 500k words) and the basic plot was a girl who wet herself in front of a bully and is forced to regress and join her gang. I kept the summary vague until I officially publish it on purpose btw. To Summarize I've been researching where to publish it and Amazon is one of the top options, however looking at general bdsm and erotica I find that it has hundreds of thousands of readers, the most popular being 50 shades of grey, on the other hand, abdl stories seem to have single digit readers for the most part, even stories that are around $1 to $5 in price. I know the community is more niched compared to people into bdsm (as statistically literotica is a female-dominated industry, as far as readers go) but I don't understand why the abdl community is so small even accounting for this. Are there other options for profiting off my writing? I've been looking for other places to publish but I wanted to see if I could get some information from other "veteran" members of the community. My deviantart is PrinceOfLilith in case you're interested in my writing.
