I created the poll to see what the ratio of people thinking it was spam to people who enjoyed the release schedule actually turns out to be. If it were overwhelming considered spamming, it would have firmly placed daily releases in the bad idea category. However, it seems people enjoyed it by a wide margin. I suspect some people voted based on whether the release schedule bothered them as opposed to the content of the works, but this shows that, as of me writing this, this was an issue among the minority.
I'm super interested in what people thought of the story. I had people who wanted more hostility, less hostility, Emily to win, Lauren to win, and so on. When I received some of the messages while I was writing, I knew I was going to be disappointing some by sticking mostly to the original story plan. Although I did make changes based off of suggestions which ended up creating more chapters than I had originally intended, so that was really cool.
As for the endings, I couldn't think of a way to advance the plot for certain chapters without making the finish consistent as opposed to random. But I do like teases where I've been asked if I'm allowed to cum at some point where my answer effects the ending so I'll try to incorporate that in future work.
I tried releasing teases that were quite significant that could have been broken into multiple releases before. I found with my previous releases that people were only looking at a small portion of the tease and rating it/reacting based off of the first 100 pages as opposed to the whole 1000 pages. Also, some people were going through the whole thing or skipping content instead of following the intended daily teasing. Having said that, nobody was upset by the releases as they weren't as frequent.
On the flip side, releasing smaller chapters as individual teases alleviated both the aforementioned issues, although some considered it spamming. Releasing smaller chapters also came with the flexibility to make changes and tweaks before publishing new content. I wouldn't have been able to course correct, or make story revisions nearly as well, if it all, had I released the teases as larger chunks. The final benefit was that quite a fair number of people seemed to be on board with a release schedule. Waiting for new publications and playing through teases was possible as they knew it was reasonable to expect something new every twenty-four hours.

As for the fetishes, I feel like by the end we've had enough different ways to tease.
Can you give me some more details on what you mean? I think I understand, but want to make sure.
