I recently did a poll among customers (of both paid and free comics) about the prices and payment methods for my female muscle comics, and wanted to share some of the results with you, in case you find it interesting. As you know I have both free female muscle comics and paid ones. This is mainly about the paid ones.
Regarding payment methods, a large majority among you is fine with Paypal, and that's good, because for now I can't provide another form of payment. So if you want to buy my comics, you’ll need to get a Paypal account. Paypal is safe and easy, and is the most accepted way of paying online. There are a few countries where Paypal is not available. If you live in one of those countries and would still like to get paid comics, email me and we can see if we can find an alternative way of payment.
A minority of you hasn’t bought any of my female muscle comics because of privacy concerns. If these are privacy concerns regarding the payment gateway (Paypal), or my shop itself, I’d like to tell you that you really need not be concerned, as both Paypal and Shopify (the e-commerce platform I use) are compliant with the highest security standards. If your concern for privacy is with regard to discretion, rather than security, I understand you don’t want other people to know about your purchases. In any case, know that I do not need your real street address. I wouldn’t ask for it, but I can’t eliminate the fields in the software, so feel free entering a fake street address (just enter the real country and a working email address, the rest is irrelevant). Also know, that I'll never ever give anyone's email away to any other party. Trust me, I understand your concerns.
Regarding prices, I didn’t actually actively ask for it, but many have commented on prices in the free comment area. I’m happy to read that quite a lot of respondents said they find the prices for the female muscle comics fair. For others the prices are a bit too steep, but this often seems to be because they live in less wealthy countries. I know this is a problem with international online sales: someone in the US or Western-Europe will pay the same as someone in say Bolivia or Mali. I’m afraid there’s nothing much I can do to remedy, except to give discounts free amazon comics now and then (though I realize that these could of course also be used by the people in the richer countries). I could see if there’s a way to offer lower prices for customers in less affluent countries, but of course even in those countries there are people who can afford paying the prices, just like there are poorer people in rich countries. And then there’s VPN software that can help you fake where you are purchasing from, so all of this doesn’t seem a solution. It seems we’re stuck with fixed prices for now. Be sure you are subscribed to the Amazonias newsletter, which always contains a 20% discount coupon for orders over € 30. So if you can wait a bit and get three comics at once, you can always get them at that discount. Not bad, I think.
Creating any of these comics about female bodybuilders is quite a bit of work (though I wouldn't want to pretend I need to put in more work than the musclewomen for their muscle growth!) These comics are also my income, so I can’t just give them away. I appreciate you not begging for free comics, just like you wouldn’t go to a physical store and ask for free books or free food.
Finally, some of you had questions about the pricing of the comics, noticing that they don't always seem to be consistent. Basically, I calculate about 1,1 to 1,2 euros per 10 pages, so a 100 page comic will be like 10 - 12 euros. However, it’s not always like this, and the price may be a bit lower when the comic was easier to make, or when (e.g. in a first chapter in a series) there is more build-up and less action.
That's it for now. I thank you for your patronage and your confidence, and wish you many more happy reading hours with my sexy and strong female bodybuilding beauties! :)

In July 2019 I published another questionnaire to assess your tastes in female muscle comics. In this particular list of questions, I was looking for which relationships between characters you find the most exciting. You find the original survey here still.
Basically, I asked you to tell me which of the following relationships you were most interested in (we're always talking about strong, muscular women and tiny, short men).
423 people answered this survey (I would have gotten more responses if I would've put this survey in the newsletter as well, but I got enough as it was). Let me tell you something about the results (which I'm taking into account for my comics about amazon women).
Four of these options got noticeably fewer positive ratings, and there's a common thread among them: family relationships. Even though I'm not talking about blood relatives (there's the step-part, you know), people clearly seem less enthusiastic about these kind of relationships. The one relationship where there is actually a blood-connection (cousin and niece) got the lowest rating of all (not even half of the highest rated option, which I'll get to). Stepfather and stepdaughter, stepson and stepmom, and stepbrother and older sister did better than cousin and niece, but still scored significantly less than other options. There is one exception here: a stepbrother and a younger stepsister (which actually will be the topic of an upcoming comic called My best friend's brother), scored quite well - and actually ended in second place. So I might revisit that theme at some point.
So we got second place covered. Third and fourth place go to male student and female teacher, and male teacher and female student, respectively, with not that much difference between them. The theme of a tall, muscular female teacher and short male student has been developed in The Teacher, while small male teachers and tall, muscular female students have featured in Marjorie: the sub (see pic below) and also in Bigger than the Boys.
So, did you figure out by now which option was voted as the absolute number one? I must say it came as a surprise to me. It's the husband and wife/boyfriend and girlfriend option - with 636 points it scored over one hundred points higher than number two (stepbrother and younger stepsister). I think I'll need to ask you guys (and occasional girl) what exactly you like about this kind of relationship - and feel free to let me know in the comments. Should the two be married, or just boyfriend and girlfriend? Fresh relationship, or long standing? With growth, or not? How dominant should the wife or girlfriend be?
In any case, I have of course explored the partner dynamic in quite a few stories: in Amber and Julian (there are actually several couples in there), in Stepmom, in The Bully, in Katie... But I'd love to find out what exactly it is that you find so exciting about partner relationships. For now, I hope you'll enjoy the upcoming The Bride.
And by the way, male boss and female employee and male employee and female boss scored pretty well (below the top four, but not that much), and I'll definitely work more with these themes.
Oh, and there's of course relationship that weren't covered in the survey: like the doctor patient relationship that you can see in Amazon Doctor, Doctor's Appointment, and especially - more developed - in Muscle Therapy.
Something I forgot? Questions? Input? Let me know in the comments!
