HAAAAAhahahahahahahahahaha *wheeze* HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahahah
I didn't pick up immediately that BYH was supposed to be a ridiculously stereotypical Furry VN ("Hello, I am Bottom Bottom'sworth and here I am, my first day at Big Bara Tiddy University. I can't wait to see my childhood friends Topper McPecs and Pitcher LeBulge... but I'm worried because Pitcher has become friends with my Nemesis TsunTsun and his cronies Chesty and PhatUss"...) because, well, I am used to seeing a LOT of furry VN's start that way.
But with that explanation, HAAAAAHAHAHAHA. Well done and bravo.
That being said, I definitely see the dilemma of "Oh crap, what if By Your Hands brings the cold hard money and fans and turns Barachoda Bloom into a side project..." and to that... I say... exploit the hell out of it; Especially since you are already taking an 'executive producer' role on By Your Hands: "Hey, I'll outline and produce a Liam/Wyatt three way Bonus scene if you hit the funding stretch goal of [ridiculously high monthly income level that would allow you to hire a REALLY good team of smut-smiths for pinch-hitting some absolutely filthy CGs and horny prose]"

XD it seems like you have read many FVNs. My worry with BYH being a twist on the typical FVN was that I didn't want to perpetuate this idea that all FVNs are the same. There are a good handful of FVNs that are truly unique and excel in ways even media outside the FVN sphere struggle to do. I didn't want to imply that those didn't exist. But yes, it was playing with several tropes common to FVNs.
And even if I did focus on By Your Hands, I probably wouldn't do that, haha. For one thing, I'm not good at capitalizing opportunities, so I'd probably mess up if I attempted something like that. Also, I've seen the Patreons for other FVNs and most of them aren't pulling in all that much money. Good money, mind you, but not "being able to buy a yacht on a yacht" kind of money. So I'd probably crash and burn if I was like "I need to make the most amount of money!" That said, if people really want to give me money for something like bonus NSFW art, I willing to oblige with their needs.
